CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 311: THE DREAM OF THE WISTERIA BLOSSOMS

Sword lily, hydrangea, Silver Leaf Chrysanthemum, yellow cosmos....

The flower shop is filled with a variety of colorful flowers, but when it comes to picking flowers for Hanabi, he still chooses the White Lily.

Pure, elegant, fresh, lightly inhaling the fragrant scent brings joy to the heart.

In his eyes, Hanamaru Hanabi is just such a girl.

Uesugi Sakura adorned her little straw hat with a bunch of lilies he bought, she tilted her head down slightly, holding the hat with both hands.

"Is it done...?"

"It’s done." Uesugi Sakura put his hands down and smiled at her.

The White Lily adorned the little straw hat, below it was a delicately outlined face as if drawn with a brush, her eyes glanced upward, her every move full of the ethereal quality of a young girl.

"How do you see yourself like this? Let me take a picture for you."

Upon hearing a picture was to be taken, the girl quickly stood upright, clasping her ringed hands together in front of her white dress.

With a click, this was the third photo of the day.

"Hmm, this one would make a nice phone wallpaper," Uesugi Sakura said while fiddling with the camera, speaking to the little head leaning toward him, "Hana-chan, what do you think of this photo of yourself?"

"It’s very nice... but why are all the photos of me?" Hanamaru Hanabi said after looking at her photo.

"I’m a guy, should I be taking photos of handsome men instead of a beautiful girl?" Uesugi Sakura scrutinized the camera screen again, "The person is beautiful, and the background has a lovely ambience, amid the bustling crowd, only the girl standing by the street stands out the most."

"Is it really that beautiful..." Hanamaru Hanabi murmured.

"Don’t believe me? Out of all the tourists here, I could grab anyone, and they’d definitely say you’re beautiful."

"But what about in your eyes, Sakura-kun?"

"Me? Come closer and I’ll tell you."

"No way, there are so many people here."

Seeing Hanamaru Hanabi actually avoiding him, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but admire how she had gotten wiser.

He had originally wanted to take the chance to steal a kiss, to see her embarrassed and shy expression.

At this moment, they were at the entrance of a park full of irises, waiting for two ladies who were using the restroom.

As they waited, Uesugi Sakura’s expression suddenly went blank as he caught sight of someone he didn’t like.

"Hanamaru-san? Haha, what a coincidence."

The person had a look of surprise, as if meeting a classmate while traveling.

"Sekine-san..." Hanamaru Hanabi stepped back, leaning beside Uesugi Sakura, nodding politely in response.

Sekine Sagara smiled all over his face, then reached out to Uesugi Sakura next to her: "Hello, Uesugi-san."

"Hello," Uesugi Sakura’s expression didn’t change much, "Mind telling me why you’re here, Sekine-san...?"

Always running into you, it’s everywhere.

To say he has no interest in Hanabi, Uesugi Sakura would never believe it.

"The wisterias in Tochigi Prefecture bloomed twice this year, I intended to come for some scenery today, and indeed, didn’t expect such a coincidence."

Sekine Sagara glanced at the lily on Hanamaru Hanabi’s straw hat, then continued smiling:

"Would you mind if we enjoy the flowers together? Meeting two familiar faces, it would be best to walk together."

Uesugi Sakura: "Sorry, I’m here with family today, so unfortunately, I can’t accompany Sekine-san, please understand."

"That’s truly a pity," Sekine Sagara showed a regretful look, yet remained knowledgeable, "Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb Hanamaru-san anymore, really hope to stroll together sometime."

Turning around, he quickly disappeared among the crisscrossing figures of numerous travelers.

Arriving suddenly, leaving suddenly.

It’s hard to discern his purpose for appearing.

"Hanabi, does he bother you usually?" Uesugi Sakura asked, looking at the place where he disappeared.

"No... Sekine-san usually keeps a good distance... but Sakisa-chan never liked him."

"What about gifts, has he sent any more to you?"

"No, he hasn’t."

Uesugi Sakura recalled the previous encounters with Sekine Sagara, noticing he always appeared suddenly, where he shouldn’t, but always with reasonable explanations.

Could it truly be chance encounters?

Uesugi Sakura decided not to think about it anymore.

Because no matter what, he could never win over Hanabi.

Coming from his side, or from hers, it’s impossible.

Instead, Uesugi Sakura was more curious about Hanamaru Hanabi’s impression of this classmate:

"Hanabi, do you think this Sekine classmate has any feelings for you?"

"Yes... maybe... he used to give me gifts... although Sakisa always rejected them... Sakisa also said he’s a playboy, but Sekine-san actually has a good reputation among classmates, comes from a wealthy family, pursued by many girls yet remains single."

Wealthy, pursued yet always single, also a top student at Tokyo Art University, with artistic talent.

Such a person indeed attracts girls.

Already in the midst of flowers, why pursue Hanabi too?

Uesugi Sakura turned to look at Hanabi’s face, indeed, she is unique.

Perhaps it is precisely because of her uniqueness that she attracts other men.

It’s not her fault; Uesugi Sakura himself also received love letters from other girls and spent time alone with them, yet Hanabi never said anything.

This is her understanding.

"Alright, let’s not talk about him, just make sure not to walk alone on a deserted street, Hanabi."

"Dad also reminded me of this, it always feels like Sakura-kun and dad sound the same."

"Haha, after all, uncle is a police officer, both of us are concerned about you, it’s natural I sound like him," Uesugi Sakura smiled gently, "By the way, has he given you any emergency numbers? To use in case of danger."

"Yes," Hanamaru Hanabi said, "Dad said whenever you’re in danger, quickly press the phone’s power button five times and he will come quickly."
