Chapter 658: Chapter 411 Psychologist Nakamura Keiko_2
"There’s no problem with your leg, right."
In this caring atmosphere, a few girls started chatting.
Uesugi Sakura was casually left out of their circle.
She glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi, who was conversing happily with them, smiled, and went to the window to admire the night sky.
Knock, knock.
"Uesugi! Go open the door." Kitagawa Sakisa shouted.
Helplessly, Uesugi Sakura, as the guy and the muscle, had no choice but to go and open the door.
When he saw the visitor, he was a bit stunned; it was the girl who had dropped her wallet before.
"Mr. Uesugi." She first bowed politely.
Uesugi Sakura didn’t know her purpose and asked curiously, "I remember... you’re called Kobashi, right... what brings you here?"
Kobashi Rikai looked at his face and said, "I’m very sorry! The thank-you gift I gave you before..."
"Is there something wrong...? " Uesugi Sakura was inexplicably a little alarmed, because that gift had been thrown into the sea by Black Hanabi.
No matter what, it was the other person’s kind gesture, a kind gesture that had been disregarded so easily...
"Yes, there was a problem," Kobashi Rikai said, taking out a delicate rose-red gift box from her pocket, "so I bought you another one."
"This... isn’t necessary."
Uesugi Sakura wanted to refuse, for one, it wasn’t appropriate to accept more gifts from her.
Secondly, if Black Hanabi found out, she would definitely throw it away again.
The next time we meet, if she asks about the gift... it would be hard for me to explain.
"No way, you must accept it!"
Kobashi Rikai spoke righteously, forcibly handing the gift to him.
Just as Uesugi Sakura was about to return it, she quickly bowed and ran off like last time.
"This..." looking at the small gift in his hand, he really didn’t know what to say.
All he did was pick up a wallet, was it necessary for her to be so enthusiastic?
He opened it and saw it was a watch.
Although not as luxurious as the one he was wearing now, judging by the brand, it was worth more than 100,000 yen.
Is it reasonable to give such an expensive gift?
"Hey! Uesugi, who was that?" Kitagawa Sakisa asked from inside.
Uesugi Sakura turned and casually closed the hotel’s room door, answering Kitagawa Sakisa, who was sitting on the bed surrounded by a few girls, "The person who lost the wallet last time, she said the thank-you gift she gave me wasn’t good, so she brought me another one."
"Gave you two gifts in a row?"
"Yeah."
"She must be interested in you, right?"
"Didn’t notice."
"Even if she is interested, Uesugi, you have to watch yourself. Now Hanabi is Mrs. Uesugi!" Kitagawa Sakisa reminded him out of concern.
"Sakisa..." lying on the bed, Hanamaru Hanabi tugged at her.
"I definitely know that." Uesugi Sakura laughed.
"What’s the gift?"
"A watch."
"A watch?" Kitagawa Sakisa turned to ask Ayaka Rie on the other side, "What does it mean when someone gives a watch to a guy?"
Ayaka Rie pondered for a while: "Well... it probably signifies a particularly close relationship, like between a couple or childhood friends."
"I knew it! That person clearly has ulterior motives!" Kitagawa Sakisa turned and said to Hanamaru Hanabi, "Hanabi-chan, you must be careful, don’t let Uesugi drink any strange potions from others, I know best, after drinking it, you feel weak all over, then your emotions become particularly agitated, and then you’re full of unresolved energy, and by then you’re unconscious! Whatever happens, you won’t remember."
Kyujuu Rika frowned and asked, "How do you know that?"
"My brother told me."
Hanamaru Hanabi chimed in softly: "It’s okay... Sakura is really strong."
"No matter how strong a person is, drinking the potion is useless! You heard me, Uesugi, don’t drink any strange things given by others."
Uesugi Sakura was quite speechless: "I’m not a kid."
The girls chatted for quite a while, and before they knew it, it was about bedtime.
"We’ll head back tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah."
"Got a boyfriend yet?"
"What nonsense! I can’t imagine dating those guys."
"Okay, it’s time to go, let Hanabi-chan get some rest."
"Well then, bye-bye, Hanabi-chan."
"Bye-bye."
"See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
"You too, Uesugi!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Having sent the girls off, Uesugi Sakura closed the hotel room, holding the gift as he sat next to Hanamaru Hanabi.
"What should we do with this? Hana-chan, it’s up to you."
"We can’t throw it away... just put it aside, Sakura."
"What if I wear it?" Uesugi Sakura smiled, intentionally asking.
"No way!"
Uesugi Sakura knew she was being jealous, and he smiled, comforting her, "Of course, nothing beats the watch my dear Hanabi-chan gave me."
With that, he raised his left wrist, revealing the shiny watch.
"This is my beloved wife’s gift, and I love it very much."
"Sakura, don’t call me that."
"Beloved wife?"
"You’re annoying..."
Seeing how adorable she was, Uesugi Sakura started to feel something.
"Wife, should we... right now..."
Hanamaru Hanabi immediately covered her face with the blanket, kicking her clean white foot onto his stomach.
"H!"
It seemed it wasn’t going to happen tonight.
Uesugi Sakura grabbed the shy little foot with his left hand and sighed helplessly.
Today’s Black Hanabi hadn’t appeared at all.
————————
The fishing companionship had ended, and surely some had become couples.
But none of that had anything to do with Uesugi Sakura; he was a married man, just out for a bit of fun.
The next day, they returned to their newlywed home in Minato-ku, Tokyo. In the afternoon, since the weather was nice, Uesugi Sakura took Hanamaru Hanabi to see the famous female psychologist they had booked in advance.
Uesugi Sakura waited outside, feeling a bit anxious. He remembered the psychologist, who was in her fifties, serenely conducting a series of counseling with Hanabi.
This included ordinary topics like ways of handling things, satisfaction with her husband, and expectations for post-wedding life.
After an hour, Hanamaru Hanabi finally came out of the small consultation room.
She walked over.
Seeing Hanamaru Hanabi looking normal, Uesugi Sakura asked, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
"What did she ask? Was there anything about your second personality?"
"Yes..."
"What did she say?" Uesugi Sakura asked anxiously.
"Sakura... you’ll know when you go past there." Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at his face.
With Hanabi’s words in mind, Uesugi Sakura patiently followed the psychologist to her exclusive counseling room.
The room’s layout was far from that of a hospital or an office; it felt more like a typical home.
The sunlit area featured a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, maximizing the room’s brightness.
The surrounding greenery and potted plants complemented each other, creating a serene and quiet atmosphere.
The sofa was nestled between two modern plant vases, with a small coffee table in front; a freshly bloomed white lily sat on the table, specifically arranged by the psychologist knowing that both of them liked lilies.
"About Mrs. Uesugi, I have learned quite a lot."
"How is it? Is there an issue? Is it a disorder?"
Nakamura Keiko smiled gently: "Please don’t worry, Mr. Uesugi, your wife doesn’t have any psychological disorders."
"She doesn’t?"
Uesugi Sakura found the doctor’s words quite convincing.
It’s said she has been a psychological counselor for decades and has consulted over a thousand patients.
No matter how big or small the issues, they have been treated and alleviated under her care.
"Yes, that’s correct."
"But... why does she sometimes exhibit such abrupt personality changes? Usually, she is as she is now... kind to everything, never arguing with others... even when other girls give me gifts, she isn’t too bothered, however the other one..."
"Mr. Uesugi, though I haven’t met the other Mrs. Uesugi you mentioned, from what you’ve said and the way Mrs. Uesugi describes her other self, I’ve extracted a crucial piece of information."
"And what is that?"
Nakamura Keiko laughed again: "Her love for you."
