Chapter 653: Chapter 409: Are the Two Hanabis the Same Hanabi?
"Hanabi... you... what are you doing?"
"What do you think, Sakura?"
Her small pale hand had a soft touch but with a hint of grip.
She smiled lightly.
For a moment, the entire bathroom was enveloped in a layer of dreamy mist.
Hanamaru Hanabi on the left, Uesugi Sakura lying on the right.
The steam rising from the hot water was so thick that it was hard to see anything ahead.
Uesugi Sakura looked at her cute face, trying his best to resist looking down past her collarbone.
"Sakura, aren’t you moved?"
Uesugi Sakura swallowed, his throat rolling with difficulty, "Hanabi, why are you asking this?"
[Hanamaru Hanabi] twirled her fingers around the droplets of water, spreading them out: "Because until now... Sakura hasn’t wanted to have a baby with me."
"Is it that you’re tired of looking at me?"
"No..." Uesugi Sakura rolled his throat again.
"Then why is it that you still refuse, Sakura? Is it because since I became your wife, I no longer give you that feeling we had when dating? Have you forgotten the promises you made to me back then? You were so good to me this morning, but now..."
"Hanabi, you’re a bit unstable right now..."
"Sakura, when someone gets tired of another, even if she’s standing right before you with nothing on, you wouldn’t take a proper look at her, is that how it is for you too?"
"No, really."
Uesugi Sakura was telling the truth; he now had an uncontrollable excitement.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] smiled faintly, purposely drawing his hand closer to her.
But Uesugi Sakura pulled back midway.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] said somewhat disappointedly:
"It’s so strange, Sakura, you seem to have some resistance towards me, but not to the other me."
"Why is that?"
"Why?"
She kept asking, her voice confused but taking on a cooler tone.
Uesugi Sakura averted his gaze and quickly said, "Last night, wasn’t I with you..."
"That was you with the other me, now, I want it too."
"..."
Uesugi Sakura trembled slightly.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] smiled.
Now, how should he refuse?
The excuse of having a changing period is no longer useful.....
"Sakura, are you scared?" [Hanamaru Hanabi] continued to lean forward, closing in on him.
Uesugi Sakura was almost pressed against her chest.
Uesugi Sakura could only reach out to block her delicate shoulders, through her hair the bathroom light shot in, shimmering beautifully off her water-slicked shoulders.
He couldn’t let her get any closer.
"Sakura, Hanabi can’t wait any longer, why won’t you ever agree?"
[Hanamaru Hanabi] gazed deeply into his eyes, as if trying to glean something.
Just as Uesugi Sakura struggled to find the right words, she suddenly released her grip on the bathtub edge.
Hanamaru Hanabi laughed: "Sakura, you’re not being honest at all."
"At this point, will you still persist, Sakura?"
"..." Uesugi Sakura remained silent.
"Hanabi knows, knows what you’re resisting, Sakura. You feel like I’m not the real Hanabi, that being too close to me is betraying her."
[Hanamaru Hanabi] wrapped her arms around Uesugi Sakura’s neck.
She slowly drew closer, circling his neck, her lips hovered over his ear, whispering:
"If you don’t agree with me, you’ll never see the other me again."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky.
Uesugi Sakura was stunned on the spot.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] released him, smiling with success, her cuteness tinged with a slight allure that was not irritating: "Sakura, are you scared?"
"...Don’t do this..."
"Sakura, Hanabi likes you the most, so I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll give you some time to accept it, and today... just help me wash my back. Of course... if you can’t hold back and want to go a bit further, I have no problem with that either."
Her fingers slid down the contour of his face, until her index finger was hooked under his chin, pulling away.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] turned around, showing her perfect back line to him, her movement causing a slight ripple in the bathtub’s hot water, the ripple transmitted as a warm sensation tugging at Uesugi Sakura’s chest.
What could he do?
Sigh, just help wash her back.
[Hanamaru Hanabi] hadn’t turned around, but Uesugi Sakura could distinctly feel her cutely smiling.
If he were to touch her now, he’d completely fall into her trap.
No, absolutely not, even if this was Hanabi’s body, it was not okay.
Uesugi Sakura encouraged himself, remaining steadfast.
Yandere Hanabi said she wanted to have a baby with him someday.
Today could go like this, but what about the future?
He had to ask Hanabi about her thoughts when she reappeared...
——————
For the past few days, it was yandere Hanabi controlling the body.
Asking Hanabi’s condition, she only said she was resting and sleeping.
Fortunately, things progressed slowly, at least no excessive intimacy after that night.
Although washing her back was already a very intimate act...
That was Hanabi’s body, helping wash her back... does it count as betrayal?
He was touching Hanabi’s back.
But that Hanabi, indeed, wasn’t her.
It felt like betrayal, yet somehow not.
Uesugi Sakura pondered this for several days without any conclusion.
On the last day of the gathering, while eating buffet breakfast at the hotel, Hanamaru Hanabi finally returned.
