Chapter 655: Chapter 410: Can You Fulfill One Small Wish for Me?
The surface of the sea sparkled with ripples under the sunlight, and as I looked up, a gentle sea breeze blew in.
Uesugi Sakura didn’t smell any fishiness in this sea breeze, probably a side effect because Todaka Keichiro had eaten too much fish.
When Hanamaru Hanabi had her hand held by him, her face would turn red, perhaps because everyone could see them.
"Still shy even after becoming my wife?"
"Sakura... don’t you like it?" Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head and said, "If Sakura doesn’t like it, Hanabi will try to change..."
Uesugi Sakura realized that she was always in a vulnerable position and was willing to change difficult things for him.
He didn’t intend to blame her with his words; it was just that the lack of tone particles made the words sound too plain.
He smiled and said, "I don’t blame you. I just think you’re very cute like this. It’s best if you don’t change."
"Hmm, Hanabi knows Sakura wouldn’t blame her..."
Uesugi Sakura took her to the water’s edge, more interested in the warm seawater than the scorching sun.
The seawater felt warm and slippery underfoot.
"Actually, I’m a bit curious. Is this what Hanabi likes about me...?"
Hanamaru Hanabi’s feet moved in the water, and she nodded, saying, "Sakura never gets angry with Hanabi, that’s nice."
"But what if I get angry and hit you, what would you do?"
Having never considered such a question, Hanamaru Hanabi was momentarily at a loss, hesitating a long time before softly saying, "I don’t know..."
"Would you leave me?"
Hanamaru Hanabi answered immediately, "I wouldn’t."
"But what if I hit you then."
"Leaving... Sakura, I don’t know where I would go..."
"You’re so beautiful, surely other guys would like you. It’s very likely someone won’t mind that you’ve been married, treats you well, and loves you wholeheartedly. You could feel that meticulous care from him."
"Sakura, please don’t say that, okay? Hanabi might be moved by that person... but Hanabi knows, Hanabi likes Sakura, just like Sakura likes Hanabi..."
Uesugi Sakura saw her purple eyes shimmering with light and realized he had asked too deeply.
These were questions testing their feelings, but between them... there was no need for such probing.
Even if she changed, became someone like a yandere Hanabi, he wouldn’t leave her.
Just like her, leaving would mean not knowing where to go.
Now she stood in front of him, still wearing her cute swimsuit, half of her body emerging from the water. Seeing her beautiful appearance, all his chaotic thoughts vanished like clouds clearing after a rain, leaving a refreshing calm.
Uesugi Sakura smiled and said to the girl, "Sorry, it was my mistake to ask those things. How about I help you revise swimming now?"
"Okay... but—"
"But what?"
"Sakura can’t touch randomly."
"That rule might have worked in the past, but now that you’re my wife, I can’t touch?"
"It’s okay, but not too much!"
What kind of boundary is that?
How much is "too much?"
"I never get tired of touching."
"Anyway, no," Hanamaru Hanabi pouted, her expression still the adorable kind of a young girl, as she walked barefoot on the sand, the waves washing over her pale ankles.
Uesugi Sakura didn’t understand why she insisted so.
But well, once she couldn’t swim any longer, wouldn’t it be natural for him to put his hands on her stomach?
With this thought, Uesugi Sakura led her to the shallow water. As they walked deeper, the blue seawater gradually rose over her thighs, her waist, her abdomen, until her whole body was submerged except her head.
People around were quite lively, with some couples already openly engaged in passionate kisses.
This made Hanamaru Hanabi feel shy, as she had never done something like that in front of everyone.
"They’re all bad, don’t learn from them."
"Okay..."
Uesugi Sakura held her slight figure in the water using the buoyancy, while his own feet were firmly on the sandy seabed.
Hanamaru Hanabi was shorter, completely floating.
The delicate, slender figure, skin smooth and tender, made her look more like a pink mermaid.
"Hanabi, get ready, I’m going to let go."
"Wait, wait a second!"
Uesugi Sakura leaned over her cheek from behind and smiled at her, "Scared?"
"Mmm—Sakura, Sakura!"
Uesugi Sakura suddenly let go, and Hanamaru Hanabi, who wasn’t great at swimming, immediately floundered like a bird in water, splashing vigorously.
She nearly sank.
"Sakura! Sakura!"
Hanamaru Hanabi quickly moved closer, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Hanabi is so enthusiastic?" Uesugi Sakura turned his face slightly to avoid the splashed water getting into his eyes.
Hanamaru Hanabi wrapped her arms around his neck, her hair on both sides dampened, she lifted her delicate, water-streaked face, staring at him angrily:
"Sakura is so bad!"
"Men are bad towards cute girls, how about it? Do you want me to teach you swimming again?"
"What if... Hanabi is unwilling?"
"If Hanabi is unwilling, I’ll leave Hanabi here."
"I’ll drown!"
"You won’t, this depth will just make you choke on some water at most."
"Bad guy..."
"So, do you want me to help you revise?"
Hanamaru Hanabi stared at him with a hint of resentment, her eyes seemed to say ’What else?’
