Chapter 662: Chapter 413 Another Hanabi Wants to Possess Me (Happy New Year)_2

Then be imprisoned by her forever, extracting and cherishing.

No, that won’t do.

Uesugi Sakura felt that he was a man and had to have a man’s dignity.

Hold it in, must hold it in, can’t fall for Hanabi’s tricks.

Uesugi Sakura calmly said with his expression: "Let’s go first, head to school."

Hanamaru Hanabi saw that he wasn’t moved and let go of her grip on her hem, sighing: "What a pity."

Uesugi Sakura pushed the bicycle out, and Hanamaru Hanabi directly sat on the back seat.

"Need me to take you?" Uesugi Sakura turned and asked.

"Yes." Hanamaru Hanabi flashed him a toothy smile.

In Japan, carrying someone on the back of a bicycle is prohibited, but if you avoid the police, no one will care if you sneak around riding.

In the early morning streets, sunlight peeked through the tree shadows.

The ride was going smoothly, Uesugi Sakura even unconsciously quickened his speed.

As the breeze and cool air hit his face, his whole chest felt much wider, yet the girl behind him was still restless, her right hand often slipping into his clothes.

Thankfully, this area wasn’t the busy part of the street, just a riverside path used by nearby residents for walks, so there weren’t many people around.

"Hanabi-chan..." Uesugi Sakura helplessly reminded while riding the bike.

"Hehe," Hanamaru Hanabi laughed and took her hand out from his clothing, resting her head on his back, "Hanabi’s hands are cold... but Sakura-kun’s tummy is warm, so comfortable, so..."

"Still not okay."

"Sakura-kun’s abs are so hard though."

"...Even if Hanabi-chan praises me, I won’t be happy."

"And~..."

"..."

Uesugi Sakura directly used his foot brake to stop the bike and helplessly told the playful girl behind him, "Hanabi-chan, what if someone else hears you?"

"Hanabi only says it when no one’s around." Hanamaru Hanabi laughed and hugged his waist, "Right?"

Darn...

Since morning, Hanabi had been tempting him.

No, absolutely not.

A proper man should not be disturbed by female charms.

Uesugi Sakura took a deep breath, raised his head to look at the tree-surrounded path ahead, gripped the handlebars with both hands, and pedaled hard to keep going.

This time Hanamaru Hanabi didn’t have any other expressions; she simply hugged his waist as he biked, resting her head on his back and smiling.

Of course, her delicate little hands were still placed on his abs under his clothes.

...

At the entrance to the Tokyo Art University College.

Hanamaru Hanabi hopped off the back seat of the bike, holding her shoulder bag.

A good number of students were passing through the gates, most of the males drawn to the beautiful figure and face of the girl.

Uesugi Sakura, looking at her, felt relieved, "Then I’m leaving, I’m in a rush to make my morning class."

"Did Sakura-kun bring the bento Hanabi made?"

"I did," he said, pointing to his backpack on the bike’s front basket, "it’s packed in here."

"Sakura-kun must eat the bento Hanabi made for lunch."

"Okay, since it’s made by my wife, I’ll definitely eat it."

Seemingly because of the words "my wife," Hanamaru Hanabi smiled exceptionally bright.

She’s really... quite cute, isn’t she.

Uesugi Sakura thought to himself.

"Then I’m going."

"Okay, bye-bye, Sakura-kun."

"Bye."

...

The back of Uesugi Sakura riding the bike gradually faded away, as Hanamaru Hanabi clutched her shoulder bag, watching his back until it vanished completely.

However, the moment his silhouette disappeared, the cute smile on Hanamaru Hanabi’s face immediately dissipated.

She clenched the black watch in her hand.

"The oil painting class... Kobashi Rikai, right?"

...

Uesugi Sakura parked his bike in Tokyo University’s bike parking area.

The thought of getting rid of that mischievous Hanabi filled him with relief.

But at the same time, there was also a hint of reluctance.

The image of the girl’s slender legs wrapped in black stockings lingered in his mind.

Always hoping to have something happen with her.

Or maybe even helping her take off her stockings at night and seeing those delicate bare feet.

Tsk, why have these thoughts been consuming my mind lately...?

Probably won’t be able to concentrate on today’s classes.

Uesugi Sakura rubbed his forehead and sighed.

...

——————————

The time is around 11 o’clock, in the painting classroom.

Kitagawa Sakisa looked at the highly completed Mount Fuji landscape painting in front of her and nodded quite satisfied.

"Hmm, not bad."

This is the assignment given by the lecturer.

The subject is unrestricted as long as it is a landscape painting.

The score for her last painting was 59.

However, any painting that doesn’t pass is graded with a 59 by the teacher.

Treated equally.

This time, she is confident of passing.

Hanamaru Hanabi beside her was patiently painting, deep in thought, very careful.

Kitagawa Sakisa found it strange, usually by now Hanabi would have completed it.

In the classroom, her basic skills and painting technique were the best, often over-completing her work.

But now...

"Not finished yet?"

Kitagawa Sakisa shifted her seat, leaning her head towards Hanamaru Hanabi’s painting, and upon seeing it clearly, her face suddenly dropped.

In the painting, it was Uesugi Sakura with a rose in his mouth and one eye closed.

It’s not that it wasn’t well-painted; it was so well done that Kitagawa Sakisa felt Uesugi Sakura was right before her eyes.

Hanamaru Hanabi noticed her but kept her eyes on the painting:

"Sakisa, can you help me see, should I use a rose here or lilies? Roses symbolize love, but lilies also represent Sakura-kun’s love for Hanabi."

Kitagawa Sakisa sat up straight, asking her: "Hanabi you... why the free time... to paint this?"

"Why not? Painting is about painting what you love the most."

"But... you painted Uesugi-san?"

"Yes, the thing Hanabi loves the most is Sakura-kun." Hanamaru Hanabi stared with love in her eyes at the Uesugi Sakura in the painting winking at her.

Kitagawa Sakisa looked at the infatuated face of Hanamaru Hanabi and felt she was beyond saving.

Uesugi might be handsome, but is he really that charming?

She just didn’t get it.

"What about your assignment? Hanabi-chan, have you finished it?"

"Finished," Hanamaru Hanabi felt there was something off with Uesugi Sakura’s hair detail, so she dipped the brush in paint to make some corrections, "it’s under Sakura-kun."

After completing it, she put down the brush, gazing at that face in the painting for a long, long time.

Then, she sighed:

"Sakura-kun... really handsome..."

Kitagawa Sakisa shook her head, pressing her forehead:

"Feels like... Hanabi-chan is a bit strange today." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Strange?"

"Yeah."

"Pretty normal, no?"

"Today, you seem overly fond of Uesugi, in the morning... always looking at your phone, I thought you were seeing something... didn’t expect you were looking at the photos with Uesugi."

"Alright, Sakisa-chan, don’t overthink it, I’m very normal."

Hanamaru Hanabi, using her usual soft tone, suddenly asked her: "Ah, by the way, Sakisa, do you know Kobashi Rikai from the oil painting department?"

"Kobashi Rikai? Is she the one who lost her wallet on the beach last time?" Kitagawa Sakisa thought for a moment.

"Yes, that’s her." Hanamaru Hanabi nodded intentionally.

"Hanabi, why are you looking for her?"

Hanamaru Hanabi revealed a watch in her hand, "To return this watch to her."

"Oh, this one!"

Kitagawa Sakisa knew about this gift; she was present the day Kobashi Rikai brought it, "I said, didn’t I? What ordinary girl gives a guy two gifts if they aren’t acquainted, it’s strange just thinking about it, Uesugi probably felt it was inappropriate to accept it, right?"

"Sakisa, you also knew about this gift?"

"Of course I knew, that night..."

Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly stopped, furrowing her brows as she asked, "Hanabi-chan, weren’t you also there?"

"That day I was a bit sleepy, can’t remember clearly." Hanamaru Hanabi’s expression showed no flaw.

"I see."

"Better talk about Kobashi Rikai as a person, Sakisa."

"Kobashi Rikai, huh," Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly lowered her voice to her, "even though I only met her twice, I feel she kinda likes that Uesugi guy, let me tell you, that day..."

Hanamaru Hanabi listened with a smile.
