Chapter 539: Chapter 359 Fresh Sunset_2
Uesugi Sakura exaggeratedly spoke.
Hanamaru Hanabi, after finishing her run, had a rather carefree smile: "Like this... Hanabi will be happy!"
The two later found a pavilion in Yanagiya Chisao Park to sit down and rest.
Uesugi Sakura looked at the short-haired girl with damp pink sweat sitting across from him, her profile seemed as cute as if it were outlined by a brush.
A glance back with a smile, also dreamily beautiful.
"Tired from running?"
"Yes, the process was tiring, but now I feel very comfortable, there was a breeze just now, it felt so nice."
"That’s good."
Uesugi Sakura was glad she could experience the comfort after running, her physical health wasn’t great, so exercises like these would be just perfect.
"How do we get back now?"
"Didn’t Sakura-kun say he would carry Hanabi back home?"
Hanamaru Hanabi smiled brilliantly, you could see she was very happy.
"We’ve been running for hours, such a long way, would Hana-chan really let her husband be so exhausted?"
"I would."
"Ah, I know, come on, let’s go find a taxi."
As they talked and laughed, neither got up.
"Sakura-kun, I saw there’s a place selling bicycles just now."
"Bicycles?"
Uesugi Sakura met her eyes, "Want me to take you back on it?"
"Hmm..."
Running out for a jog and buying a bicycle to go home was an absurd idea.
But Uesugi Sakura did it and found it very romantic, picking it out with his fiancée, looking together, and then buying it right in front of the owner.
It was a pink little bike—this was the one Uesugi Sakura bought for Hanabi.
"How about we consider this a gift for the day after tomorrow?"
"No way, Hanabi wants another one."
"So greedy." Uesugi Sakura said, smiling while holding the handle at the store entrance.
Letting her sit sideways on the back seat, letting her hug his waist, leaning against him.
Then, taking her, cycling up along the Arakawa.
"Let’s go! Homeward bound."
The wheels spun rapidly.
A breeze blew in head-on, rustling the leaves and cooling the face refreshingly.
Uesugi Sakura saw the fiery sunset above the road, and a few high school girls who had just left school scattered along.
He passed by with a dashing side profile.
Made them slightly lost in thought.
He rode the bike, the girl behind pressed her face against his back, her short hair fluttering.
"A bit faster, how about it?"
Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly lifted her head and shouted to him:
"Sakura-kun... slow down a bit!"
"What!?"
"Slow down a bit!"
"I can’t hear you!!"
"Slow, down, a, bit!"
"Haha! Then just a bit faster!"
"No! Way!"
Excited, Uesugi Sakura smiled, stood up from the newly bought bike, and pedaled hard.
The bicycle accelerated, streaking along the road, turning into a scenic blur.
The wind grew stronger, blowing the girl’s hair into disarray, and instinctively, she held him tighter...
Students on the road all watched them.
Clearly a terrible thing, but Uesugi Sakura felt it was exhilarating and refreshing.
As if all the gloom cleared away, only the road lay ahead, an unreachable end, unreachable sunset, and city streets.
"Know——what?! Hanabi——! You’re my wife——! My——wife!"
The strong wind cleared his head delightfully, vigorous pedaling surged his adrenaline, and the girl behind, blushing, held him tightly.
He even felt he could just ride toward the horizon and reach the blazing fiery sunset.
"Hey——! You in front! Stop!"
If at the corner, someone behind shouted loudly.
Hanamaru Hanabi looked back and found someone riding in a light blue uniform on a patrol bike, frantically blowing a whistle.
Recognizing the person’s identity, Hanamaru Hanabi anxiously grabbed Uesugi Sakura’s clothes:
"Sakura-kun, stop quickly, it’s a patrol police officer."
"Police?" The excited Uesugi Sakura completely ignored it, eyes shining brightly, "Ha! Am I afraid of him!?"
"Hey!! Stop quickly!!"
The cycling officer saw they didn’t stop and even sped up, hurriedly blowing the whistle, shouting, and pedaling while crazily pursuing.
"Stop!"
"Sakura-kun, hurry and stop!"
"Stop!"
An emotion of either joy or impulse filled his heart, Uesugi Sakura increased his pedaling speed, mixing the metallic squeak, the girl’s anxious reminders, and the whistling wind, urging him to ride forward rapidly.
It was thrilling, unbeatably so.
Chasing for a long time, through many streets and alleyways, the officer could only watch in exhaustion as the reckless pink bike disappeared into the distance, helplessly giving up.
"Sure rides fast!"
But, impulse is momentary.
Riding back home, Uesugi Sakura felt hungry.
The bike stopped at the front door.
Hanamaru Hanabi loosened her hands from his waist, got off from his back seat, her cherry blossom sneakers lightly touching the ground.
Her forehead hair was slightly messy, face puffed with indignation, said:
"Sakura-kun is really something."
Uesugi Sakura also calmed down, awkwardly coughing twice:
"Cough cough, wasn’t it romantic?"
"It’s not romantic at all, it’s dangerous!"
"This kind of controllable danger is also a form of romance." Uesugi Sakura reasoned.
Unable to outargue him, Hanamaru Hanabi could only remind: "Sakura-kun doing this might make dad find out, and then he’d definitely have something to say."
"No worries! He manages the Shinjuku District, we’re in the Arakawa District now! What’s most important is, I’m hungry."
"Shower first."
Uesugi Sakura, still on the bike, nodded: "After a run, we should shower first, how about we help each other, you wash me, I’ll wash you, neither of us takes advantage."
"No way."
"Hmm? No?"
Uesugi Sakura got off the bike, used his relentless tickling hands on her, and the unavoidable Hanamaru Hanabi could only agree with a blush.
"Sakura-kun, could you press my shoulders later? They’re a bit sore after the run..." Hanamaru Hanabi asked quietly before entering the bathroom.
Uesugi Sakura answered earnestly: "The princess’s requests, I shall do my utmost to fulfill each. And I’ll make the princess feel very comfortable~"
The bathroom steamed and echoed with the sound of water.
The girl’s fair bare back was exposed in front of him, of course, lower down was wrapped in a towel.
Yet even so, Uesugi Sakura felt his earlier impulsive urge return instantly.
After pressing her shoulders, his hands slid to her slender waist.
He cupped it with both hands, carefully examining, carefully feeling.
So slender, so soft, so warm.
Hanamaru Hanabi dared not look at him, as the tickling sensation on her waist made her instinctively clench her legs.
"Sakura-kun, don’t you dare act up."
"Rest assured, I won’t."
...
"Ah! You’re bad, you’re bad! Sakura-kun, you’re bad!"
Hanamaru Hanabi covered her upper part with her hands, her adorable face under the steam was full of blush and anger.
"Cough cough! Sorry... I couldn’t resist out of curiosity."
"I hate it! You clearly said you wouldn’t act up..."
"This is..." Uesugi Sakura answered, biting the bullet, "I’m just following the most scientific instinct of biology, where’s the sense in not eating the food in front of you on an empty stomach."
"Hanabi is mad!"
"Don’t be."
Uesugi Sakura suddenly felt he indeed was a big pig-headed fool, saying one thing and doing another.
But honestly, he couldn’t resist.
Looking at her back from behind, occasionally glimpsing the upper arm as it faintly revealed the curves in front, those hands washing her back, they unconsciously wandered upwards.
Uesugi Sakura remembered a few days ago when he accidentally spilled some milk on his hand, the texture of the milk was so creamy, so tender.
Though Hanamaru Hanabi was a little mad, having just seen her shy moment, and being called cute in a sweet voice...
It was worth it, totally worth it.
"Hana-chan, you haven’t let me help you in a long time."
Forgetting her previous scolding instantly, Hanamaru Hanabi covered her upper part, amidst the swirling steam, her face vividly red, stammeringly looking down: "Wh-what... what help is Sakura-kun talking about..."
"Just... we’ll help each other."
"Th-that’s not even a thing....." Hanamaru Hanabi took a step back, her small white bare feet splashing in the water.
"How could Hana-chan forget, back then you scratched my arm, and what did you do? You told me to close my eyes, I didn’t dare open them, saw nothing at all."
"Sakura-kun... deliberately saying that..."
Suddenly squeezing her eyes shut tightly, Hanamaru Hanabi shouted in a weak-sounding loud voice:
"Sakura-kun, you’re hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful!"
Hearing her repeat "hateful" many times, Uesugi Sakura’s heart was filled with the same sweet love vibe as always.
And the expression on his face couldn’t help but smile.
