CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 439 TOKYO LOVE STORY_3

"She is very beautiful, loved by everyone, with a sweet smile hanging on her face, even skipping while walking at work. In the company, there are inevitably some annoying male colleagues pointing fingers at her carefree personality, but she never minds and always responds with a smile to those male colleagues.

"Akana Rika met Kanji at the airport because of work. Upon seeing this new colleague for the first time, the girl was curious about his dumbfounded and slow personality... They met, they got to know each other, their meeting seemed like a predestined encounter... In the days following at work, they gradually became familiar with each other. Every day at work and after, Rika faced him with a sweet smile. Kanji felt uneasy about drifting in Tokyo, and Rika would comfort him: ’It’s precisely because we don’t know what will happen that we feel energized, isn’t it?’

"Rika would affectionately call him ’Maruko,’ ’Maruko,’ and Kanji would be teased by colleagues because of this nickname. Day by day, they got to know each other, understood each other’s personality, and found out what the other liked. Gradually, the innocent and cheerful Akana Rika realized she had fallen for the clumsy yet adorable Kanji, much like a panda.

"Akaoka Rika is a girl very straightforward about her feelings. After realizing she liked Kanji, she quickly told him, ’I like you.’

Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice was pleasant, causing Uesugi Sakura to unknowingly become absorbed in the story she told.

"Is that all? What happened next?" Uesugi Sakura pressed further.

"Sakura, do you think there are any differences between Hanabi and Akana Rika?"

"The story was too short for me to fully understand." Uesugi Sakura shifted the conversation, "But, from what I know so far, there are significant differences between Akana Rika and you, Hanabi. You are the shyer one, like Kanji, and I am like Akaoka Rika, who after realizing my own feelings, would boldly tell the one I like, ’I like you.’

"No, that’s not right..."

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head.

"How is that not right?"

"It’s just not right."

"How about you continue telling me the story, and I’ll give you a shoulder rub when we get home?" Uesugi Sakura said with a smile, her face outlined beautifully against the neon lights of the bustling city night.

Seeing him smile, Hanamaru Hanabi’s own adorable face broke into a captivating smile:

"Sure, but you can’t go back on your word about the shoulder rub, Sakura."

"I will definitely keep my promise."

"Do you want to pinky promise?"

"Even for this? Ah, okay, I agree."

"Hehe, Sakura, you’re so nice." Hanamaru Hanabi watched as her thumb and his thumb touched, smiling beautifully.

"Let’s get in the car, and continue the story later."

Under the Tokyo night sky, a pink bicycle leisurely wove through the city.

Every time Hanamaru Hanabi got on the bike, she would hold onto his waist, pressing her face tightly against his back.

The girl held on tightly, seemingly afraid of falling off the back seat.

Although Uesugi Sakura couldn’t see her, he could clearly feel her leaning against him in the night breeze. She is Hanamaru Hanabi, his wife, his childhood friend, and a kind girl whom everyone finds adorable...

And she particularly, particularly likes him, willing to give so much for him.

Thinking of this, a warm flow surged through Uesugi Sakura’s heart, a feeling called love, flowing through his body and making his mind feel comfortably soft.
