Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard

Chapter 619 - 393: Today’s Hanabi... Seems a Bit Off...?

"Reality is rational, and rationality is reality, that’s Hegel’s theory..."After an elective class ended, Uesugi Sakura, sitting in the back row of the classroom, checked the notes he had entered on his computer for a while.

"Uesugi, why don’t you ever use that computer to play games?"

"Studying, how can you play around?"

"Hehe, you say that so seriously, but I think you’re in blissful ignorance all day, Uesugi."

"Me...? Am I?"

"You know it in your heart."

Uesugi Sakura wondered if he was being too obvious, as Todaka Keichiro really hit the nail on the head.

He was indeed in a state of blissful ignorance.

At least 80% of his mind was not on the course during class.

The old professor droned on about model essays, and he found it incredibly dull...

Those boring knowledge points couldn’t compare to Hanabi... So he started imagining Hanabi’s image in his mind, thinking about how she pouts cutely, how she shyly twists and turns when talking about kissing, and how she calls him a bad guy with a small grudge...

There were too many imaginations about her.

He... wasn’t as interested in studying as before...

Could it be that he’s falling behind?

Sometimes, Uesugi Sakura would even lean on the desk, turning his head to look at the empty seat beside him, and then imagine her sitting in that chair, also leaning on the desk.

She would look at him and give him a sweet smile.

Even though they’re already married, he still thinks about her like this...

It’s quite strange.

Whenever he thought about these things, Uesugi Sakura would feel like she’s very far away from him.

It seemed as if just by reaching out his hand, she would disperse like a dream.

Every time he felt this way, the urge to go back and see her became more urgent.

Todaka Keichiro got up to leave the classroom and deliberately looked at the dazed, seemingly thoughtful Uesugi Sakura:

"Going out to buy a drink, Uesugi, do you want one? Tekeshun and I can bring you one."

"Just bring a can of coffee."

"Sure, what brand of coffee?"

"Anything is fine."

The two classmates left.

Shortly after class, there were only a few students left in the classroom lecture hall.

Some people were sleeping, while others were still studying.

And Uesugi Sakura was lying on the desk in the back row, wondering what Hanabi was doing at this time?

She went to school today, walking without any problem, right? No one would notice, right?

I miss her so much...

Uesugi Sakura took out his phone and found Hanabi among his many friends on Line.

He looked at the shark avatar, tapped in, and wondered whether to chat with her at this time.

But chatting... what should he ask?

After much consideration, he sent a message:

[Honey, I miss you.]

Then added a slightly cute sticker.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

No reply.

Why was there no reply?

Is she in class?

Uesugi Sakura looked at the message [Honey, I miss you.] from left to right, and in the end, he didn’t wait for Hanamaru Hanabi’s reply.

Forget it, let’s continue with the class.

By the afternoon, Uesugi Sakura finally received a reply from Hanamaru Hanabi.

His wife said she was at a family restaurant near Tokyo Art University and that they could go home together in the evening.

Going home with his beautiful wife.

How delightful.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Uesugi Sakura rode his bike to find his wife.

After cycling for a while, Uesugi Sakura saw the family restaurant that Hanabi mentioned at an intersection surrounded by flowers.

He stopped his bike and walked over to look at the store’s name.

Ginza Koju.

After confirming it, he went inside.

The so-called family restaurant refers to a restaurant based on creating a family atmosphere, usually decorated in a western style.

The serving method is similar to fast food, where dishes are pre-made and heated when ordered.

Of course, some family restaurants cook on the spot, and their prices tend to be affordable, with a warm and casual style.

So, almost daily, students come here in the afternoon to order a drink like milk tea or coffee and chat together.

This place was fairly lively, and Uesugi Sakura found a few people seated inside the restaurant. Chapters fırst released on ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????

"Hmm? How come you’re here?" Kitagawa Sakisa saw Uesugi Sakura suddenly sitting across from her.

"Why? Am I not allowed? I’m mainly here to chat with you all."

Kyujuu Rika suddenly laughed and said, "Does Uesugi know what we’re talking about?"

"You’d better not know," Ayaka Rie, who was holding her tablet, looked up and said.

"Exactly, exactly," Kitagawa Sakisa nodded.

The three girls all chimed in, almost fooling Uesugi Sakura.

"So, what are you all talking about?"

Kitagawa Sakisa kept raising her eyebrows: "Really want to know?"

"Go ahead, say it." Uesugi Sakura casually took the menu handed over by the waiter and started selecting dishes from it.

"Hehe, actually we were talking about..."

Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly tugged on Kitagawa Sakisa’s arm and then shook her head at her.

Meaning not to say it.

"Hanabi-chan, Uesugi-san wants to hear it." Kitagawa Sakisa glanced at Uesugi Sakura sitting across from her.

Hanamaru Hanabi also glanced at Uesugi Sakura, then softly said:

"Can’t say..."

Obviously, Kitagawa Sakisa would only listen to Hanabi, so when she didn’t want to say it, she didn’t say more.

The other two chose to stay silent as well.

Uesugi Sakura, who was choosing from the menu, looked up, his eyes moving back and forth between the people, suspiciously asking:

"What exactly were you talking about?"

Kyujuu Rika chuckled, "It’s better for Uesugi-kun not to know."

"Right, right, curiosity killed the cat."

"Alright, if you won’t say, then don’t."

But honestly, Uesugi Sakura was very curious about what they were discussing.

But since they wouldn’t say, there wasn’t much he could do.
