CHAPTER 698: CHAPTER 427: THE REUNION DATE

"Why isn’t it... it’s the same!"

"Before, you were my girlfriend, now you’re my wife, it’s different."

As soon as Hanamaru Hanabi heard him call her wife, the stubbornness in her vanished.

"So, Sakura... do you still find Hanabi cute...?"

Uesugi Sakura met her brilliant violet eyes, shining under the bright sun, reflecting her own image, carrying her unique shyness.

"Cute, of course I find you cute."

"Then... will Sakura hold Hanabi’s hand?"

Uesugi Sakura took her small hand that was offered, holding it in his palm: "Still shy?"

Hanamaru Hanabi stood beside him, her adorable little face lowered, "Can’t a girl... be shy...?"

"Is it because you’re thinking about being on a date with me?"

"It’s because of the date... that’s why I’m embarrassed..."

Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but smile: "I feel Hanabi-chan is still so wonderful and innocent."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s small hand interlocked with his, she raised her head slightly and said: "Then Sakura, you should cherish it."

"Alright."

Uesugi Sakura held her hand, leading her along the pebble path in the park.

They crossed a small lake, stood on a bridge watching the swans inside, passed by the playground for children, and experienced a touch of childhood by sliding down the slide.

Around them were many elderly ladies out for their morning walk, most of them walking a pet.

When Uesugi Sakura was buying cheese sticks from a cart, Hanamaru Hanabi was watching a large golden retriever passing by behind her.

"Sakura." She tugged on his hand.

"What is it?" Uesugi Sakura turned around while in line.

"I want a pet." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the wagging tailed golden retriever.

Uesugi Sakura also saw the golden retriever: "What’s so good about a pet?"

"Oh, aren’t pets great? They’re so cute, little cats, little dogs, they’re all so adorable."

Uesugi Sakura was completely unimpressed, "If you like cats, I’ll turn into one for you."

"Then... what about a puppy?" Hanamaru Hanabi looked at him.

"When we’re having sex, maybe."

"..."

A tight little fist punched his chest.

"Sakura, you’re saying that again... Hanabi wants you to buy a puppy to keep, not for you to..."

"I’m more than happy to let you, you can just step on me."

"Hateful..." Hanamaru Hanabi’s cheeks flushed as she took the cheese stick he handed her, "After getting married, Sakura only talks about these things..."

Her eyes focused on the golden cheese stick drenched in nacho cheese and tomato sauce, she said softly:

"Pervert, big pervert..."

Then she opened her soft little mouth and took a bite.

"Careful, it’s hot." Uesugi Sakura said with concern.

"Phew phew~" Hanamaru Hanabi finally swallowed the hot cheese stick’s crispy crust and looked at Uesugi Sakura, "Hanabi wants to ask Sakura a question."

"What question?"

"What if a girl marries a big pervert?"

"Well," the two of them walked under a tree in the park, with no one around, the flowers rustling, Uesugi Sakura holding an unbitten cheese stick, thinking seriously, "my advice is to run as far as you can, otherwise, you never know what more perverted things might happen later."

"Really?"

"Of course I’m serious, but," Uesugi Sakura’s tone changed, he smiled at the girl standing by him, "a big pervert wouldn’t let his wife run away, no matter where she goes, he’d always find her."

"Big pervert! Just a big pervert!"

"Oh wow, getting bold, huh!"

Hearing her call him that, Uesugi Sakura lunged at her, pinning her back while freeing one hand to tickle her waist.

"Ah! Hateful!"

Hanamaru Hanabi was still holding the cheese stick she hadn’t finished eating, completely no match for him, could only laugh and twist away from him, ran far, hiding behind a meter-wide oak tree.

"Why are you hiding behind there?"

"Sakura, you’re a villain! It’s not fair." Hanamaru Hanabi peeked just her head from behind the trunk.

"What’s not fair?"

"Hanabi was still eating just now!"

"I am too."

"Sakura, that was a sneak attack!"

Hanamaru Hanabi hid her whole body behind the tree, her voice coming from where she had disappeared: "Anyway! It’s not fair, after I finish eating, Hanabi will play with Sakura again."

The breeze of the October morning rustled the leaves of the tall oak tree, Uesugi Sakura stood at the other end, couldn’t help but smile at the spot where she disappeared.

Recalling the times when she always played hide-and-seek with him in the park.

That little girl thought she was very clever, always believing that Brother Sakura couldn’t catch her, not realizing that Uesugi Sakura remembered all her favorite hiding spots, always finding her without hitting more than three points in the park.

When she was found, she would laugh happily.

Laughing at him.

Even though that little face looked silly and she often cried.

There are so many memories of her, just going on a date and walking a bit in the park brings back a lot of old memories.

Hanamaru Hanabi peeked her head out again and again from behind the oak tree, fearing that he might disappear.

Uesugi Sakura walked over, and she immediately hid again.

"Be careful not to eat till you’re a big fat pig."

"Don’t let Sakura worry about it."

Uesugi Sakura peeked around the tree looking for her, she also circled the tree, avoiding his gaze, leaving him with just a faint view of her back.

"Why are you hiding from me?"

"Mmm, when Hanabi finishes eating, then I’ll play with Sakura, now if Sakura comes over he’ll tickle Hanabi."
