Chapter 638: Chapter 401 Uesugi is a Scumbag_2
Did I... abandon her?
What does that mean.
...
When she opened her eyes again, Hanamaru Hanabi had already returned to her usual familiar appearance.
She opened her twinkling eyes, with a hint of vulnerability and cuteness.
"Sakura-kun..."
"Hanabi, you’re back...?"
"Mm."
Maybe it was because of what the yandere Hanabi said earlier, Uesugi Sakura was influenced, and upon seeing Hanamaru Hanabi’s current lovable appearance, couldn’t help but hug her.
He pressed his face against hers, feeling the softness and warmth of the girl’s cheek.
Uesugi Sakura gently inhaled the maiden’s fragrance on her cheek, and after lightly kissing her soft lips, asked:
"What about her?"
"The other Hanabi...?"
"Yes."
"She’s asleep..." Hanamaru Hanabi looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Do you, Hanabi-chan, know something?"
The normal Hanamaru Hanabi also looked at him, and after a long time, she turned her head and softly said:
"Sakura-kun is a bad guy."
Then she clenched her small fists and hit his chest twice.
"Bad guy."
"Wait, wait, wait," Uesugi Sakura hurriedly grabbed her two small wrists and asked, "In the morning, I was still your husband, and you called me so sweetly, how come now I’m a bad guy?"
"Sakura-kun knows on his own."
"Hanabi-chan, don’t play guessing games with your husband. If you don’t say, how would I know, besides, I’ve been super normal today, we went fishing together, I even grilled fish for you to eat, caring for you so much."
"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!" Hanamaru Hanabi made a fist again.
There was no other way, Uesugi Sakura could only take it.
Let her hit, anyway the force was not strong, the hits on his chest were soft and comfortable.
He suddenly laughed and said: "Hanabi-chan, actually you’re just being cute with me, it feels so comf—"
Before he could finish speaking, a small fist landed on his face.
Hanamaru Hanabi was so surprised she covered her mouth, realizing something was wrong, quickly sat up from his arms, leaned closer anxiously and asked:
"Sakura-kun... Sakura-kun, are you okay?"
Uesugi Sakura covered his face, looking aggrieved: "Hanabi, you... actually hit me, I want an apology."
"I’m sorry! Sakura-kun, I’m sorry..." Hanamaru Hanabi reached out tenderly, wanting to touch the place she hit.
Uesugi Sakura’s previously aggrieved look immediately changed, he sat up and hugged the self-blaming girl again: "It’s okay, just a joke."
"Sakura-kun, doesn’t it hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt, rest assured, if you don’t believe, you can touch it." Uesugi Sakura held her soft waist with one hand.
Hanamaru Hanabi gazed at his face, suddenly froze for a moment, then her cheeks turned red again.
Uesugi Sakura asked her: "What’s wrong?"
Hanamaru Hanabi spoke with shyness, placing her hands on her skirt bashfully: "Sakura-kun... when you were being naughty last time, you said the same thing to Hanabi... Hanabi was worried for a long time..."
"Last time...?"
Uesugi Sakura paused, suddenly laughed, "I remember, does Hanabi-chan still want to touch now? Actually, it still hurts, and needs Hanabi-chan’s soft little hands to rub like last time."
"Hate it... liar... in the hotel with Sakura-kun this morning... Sakura-kun... clearly had nothing at all."
"Is it strong?"
"Hate!"
"Okay, okay, no more jokes, Hanabi-chan, tell me, what’s wrong with the other Hanabi-chan?"
"Sakura-kun is a jerk."
"Hmm? How am I a jerk?"
"Sakura-kun doesn’t want Hanabi, abandoned Hanabi."
"...? No, I’ve always loved Hanabi-chan so much."
"Anyway, anyway, that’s all Hanabi knows."
"Let me guess—was there a Sakura-kun who abandoned Hanabi-chan?"
Hanamaru Hanabi nodded in his arms.
"I see... was that Sakura-kun me?"
Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head.
"Not me?" Uesugi Sakura asked.
"Don’t know..." Hanamaru Hanabi said.
"Don’t know?"
"Mm," Hanamaru Hanabi said, "In the dream, that Sakura-kun abandoned Hanabi after marriage."
Such a cute wife, he’s willing to abandon?
Isn’t he afraid of being stabbed by single men?
"...Why did he do that?"
Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head and whispered: "That Sakura-kun said... he didn’t like Hanabi anymore, felt it was meaningless being with Hanabi for so long, he said he didn’t like how Hanabi was always weak in front of Sakura-kun, said Hanabi was pretending to be pitiful..."
At this point, Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly raised her head and asked him: "Sakura-kun, Sakura-kun definitely wouldn’t do that, right?"
"What if... I would? Would Hanabi-chan still want to stay with me?"
"Willing... willing... Hanabi only has Sakura-kun... only Sakura-kun..."
"Knowing that I would abandon you in the future?" Uesugi Sakura asked.
"Mm... other than Sakura-kun, Hanabi can’t find another place to go... if Sakura-kun doesn’t want Hanabi..."
Hanamaru Hanabi’s voice grew softer and softer.
"Alright," Uesugi Sakura cut her off, "now I can understand how the other Hanabi-chan feels..."
"Sakura-kun understands?"
"Mm, you can be assured, I won’t leave."
"Sakura-kun, the other Sakura-kun also said this to the other Hanabi."
"..."
————————
Uesugi Sakura had a rough idea of what was up with the yandere Hanabi.
There was a Sakura-kun who abandoned his Hanabi, that Hanabi-chan missed Sakura-kun so much that she turned into a yandere personality trying to control everything about Sakura-kun.
Of course, this yandere Hanabi might very well be a hypothetical scenario from Hanabi-chan’s dream.
Because of a dream, the real Hanamaru Hanabi developed some sort of dissociative identity disorder.
However,
Whether it was a parallel world Hanabi or a dream Hanabi, it’s all still uncertain.
It’s just that now the yandere Hanabi seeks love here, much more intense love.
Uesugi Sakura felt very innocent, why does he have to compensate for the missing love caused by a non-existent "himself" for a yandere Hanabi.
In any case, what he has to do now is treat yandere Hanabi and Hanabi as the same person, and give them the same love.
But really, what kind of situation is this?
A perfectly good wife suddenly split into two?
...
Evening seaside dinner.
Uesugi Sakura took the opportunity to ask Hanamaru Hanabi: "You won’t hate me, will you?"
Now the yandere Hanabi had taken the dominant personality.
"How could I, Hanabi likes Sakura-kun the most."
"..."
"Sakura-kun doesn’t believe?"
"After all, the description before was that you hate me so much."
"Hanabi hates the other Sakura-kun, but the current Sakura-kun, or the Sakura-kun who hasn’t turned bad yet, who is still very good to Hanabi, is the Sakura-kun Hanabi likes the most."
Hanamaru Hanabi blinked at him.
"Sakura-kun, want Hanabi to prove it?"
"Prove? How will you prove it?"
Hanamaru Hanabi smiled faintly, took his hand, "Sakura-kun, come with Hanabi."
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the seaside grilled fish dinner party was particularly lively.
Hanamaru Hanabi led Uesugi Sakura away from the crowd’s sight, to a backlit spot by the seaside rocks.
The place faced the ocean, with some shallow light, yet completely out of the diners’ view.
Hanamaru Hanabi squatted down in front of him.
The bright moonlight, the continuous sound of waves, highlighted the girl’s delicate face.
"Wait a minute, is this what Hanabi-chan meant by liking?"
"Doesn’t this express how much Hanabi likes Sakura-kun?"
"Liking isn’t sharing daily life, the sublimation of mutual affection?" Uesugi Sakura countered.
"Isn’t this also a part of being together?" Hanamaru Hanabi adorably asked, her small hands somewhat cold, as the seaspray splashed onto the rocks.
Uesugi Sakura instinctively took a cold breath.
"I think, you should stop—"
"Sakura-kun, you should be honest."
"Be more~ honest." Hanamaru Hanabi continued to smile at him, her beautiful face exquisitely outlined by the moonlight.
"Sakura-kun?"
"No need..."
Uesugi Sakura chose to close his eyes, to quietly listen, to feel the tranquil sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks.
