Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

The lady was sitting under the parasol and answered him with a smile.

"Where's Mrs. Sasaki?"

Ginjo asked Sasaki Sachiko who was on the other side.

"I'm going to sunbathe here for a while and chat with Tomoko. You can go and have fun first, Sousuke. Don't worry about us."

After saying this, Sachiko Sasaki took out a beach mat and spread it out outside the parasol.

"Okay, I'll trouble you first."

Ginjo Sousuke waved goodbye to the two ladies and left the makeshift base made of beach umbrellas and picnic mats.

He took two steps at a time and quickly caught up with Chiaki Hoshino who was left behind by her sister.

"Chiaki."

Ginjo patted her shoulder from behind.

"Ah, Sousuke, you're here."

Chiaki Hoshino turned around and smiled at him gently.

The two people quickly walked side by side, making rustling sounds on the beach wet by the waves.

On the way, they saw the children playing with sand happily, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Before they knew it, their upper arms were close enough to touch each other at any time.

"Um, Sosuke..."

Chiaki Hoshino suddenly grabbed Ginjō's hand and stopped.

"Ok?"

After Ginjo turned his head, she quickly put her hand down again.

The two people were facing each other, and Hoshino Chiaki was thinking about her words in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

That brief kiss on the hill on the uninhabited island was so unforgettable to her that every time she saw Ginjo now, she would feel her heart pounding.

"What's wrong, Chiaki?"

Ginjo asked her gently.

"That's... that..."

Chiaki Hoshino's cheeks blushed with shyness and she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

"Swimsuit..."

"Ok?"

"What do you think of my swimsuit, Sousuke?"

In fact, Hoshino Chiaki had been wanting to ask Ginjō this question, but because her sister and Sachiko were there, she never found the opportunity.

As she picked out each swimsuit, she couldn't help but wonder, "Will Sosuke like this?"

Now that she finally had the chance to be alone with Yincheng, she naturally wanted to know the answer.

"Of course it's very beautiful, and it suits Chiaki very well."

"To be honest, I think your swimsuit is the cutest one today, haha."

Ginjo Sousuke looked at her intently and smiled brightly.

Hearing Ginjo's praise, Hoshino Chiaki blushed with embarrassment.

I was already under the scorching sun, and now the temperature on my face soared even higher for some reason.

"Thank you, Sosuke..."

Chiaki Hoshino lowered her head, with the corners of her mouth constantly raised, and spoke in a low voice.

"Well, it's about time we go over there. My sisters have been waiting for a long time."

She seemed to be feeling a little uneasy and ran towards the shore.

"Don't be so anxious, Chiaki."

Ginjo saw her slip and fall on the beach, so he quickly went over to her.

"Ah...Ahahaha...I'm fine, I'm fine..."

"Come."

When Ginjō extended his hand, Hoshino Chiaki immediately shook it.

With a little effort, he pulled up Chiaki Hoshino, who was covered in sand.

"Thank...thank you, Sosuke..."

"Don't worry about Chie and the others, we can just go together."

Chiaki Hoshino nodded slightly and said nothing more.

......

"Tomoko, look over there, Sosuke is really lucky, there are so many girls surrounding him."

Sachiko Sasaki lay on the beach mat, looking at Ginjō who was playing in the water with Chie Hoshino and the others after they met up.

"That's perfectly normal, handsome and gentle boys are always so popular on campus."

Matsumoto Tomoko followed her gaze and spoke naturally.

"Why didn't we meet boys like this when we were in college?"

Sasaki Yukiko asked with some reluctance.

"The competition for boys like this will be fierce."

The lady reminded her softly.

"That's right, if that happens, I might become a rival to Tomoko."

Sasaki Sachiko smiled thoughtfully.

"By the way, how was Sachiko's college life? Didn't she ever say anything about dating a boy?"

"Sachiko never brought it up, so I can't ask her directly."

"I see... But if she keeps playing with Sousuke, this will probably become more difficult in the future."

"Hmm? Why do you say that, Sachiko?"

"Isn't it obvious? If you're always with Sousuke, your standards for choosing boyfriends will also improve, right?"

"But guys like Sosuke are rare, so..."

After hearing what Sasaki Sachiko said, Matsumoto Tomoko couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What she said makes sense. After tasting delicacies, one's aesthetic threshold will definitely be raised a lot.

But is it too early to think about this now?

After all, my daughter is just a college freshman who is not even 20 years old.

In short, just enjoy the present moment first, and the day will come when everything will fall into place naturally.

......

"It's so hot, so you still need to drink water in time."

"Hey, what are everyone's plans for lunch?"

After having fun in the sea for a while, Chie Hoshino returned to the shore and started drinking a bottle of sports drink.

But Yincheng was attracted by the fried noodles placed on her thighs.

When did she buy this?

Also, doesn’t this count as lunch?

Sachiko Sasaki tied up her long golden hair that had fallen on her shoulders and looked around at everyone.

"I'll go buy some food and we'll eat here. What do you want to eat?"

When several people's eyes were tentatively crossing each other, Chie Hoshino raised her hand.

"How about fried noodles?"

The smell of the sauce can indeed stimulate appetite. It is human nature to want to eat it just by smelling it.

"Chie, you're eating fried noodles right now, right?"

Ginjo asked, somewhat speechlessly, pointing at the box on her lap.

"I compromised and chose a store that didn't have to wait in line, but the food didn't taste that good."

"That shop on the corner is the jackpot, my instincts whispered."

Chie Hoshino answered Ginjō while sucking the noodles.

Obviously, she was planning to have another helping.

"Then I'll go buy it back. I've been bothering Aunt Sachiko these past few days."

Throwing down the towel she used to wipe her body, Matsumoto Sachiko suddenly stood up.

"Ah, Sachiko is really a sensible child. I'll leave it to you then."

"Sousuke, could you please go with her?"

"If only girls go shopping, there is a high chance that someone will pick you up, so it is better to eliminate this possibility as soon as possible."

After saying this, Sasaki Sachiko glanced around cautiously.

"That's a scene that only happens in the second dimension."

Chie Hoshino had her mouth full of fried noodles and was mumbling.

"It's the same. It's better to be more cautious."

Sasaki Sachiko continued speaking, and Matsumoto Tomoko nodded in agreement.

Ginjo Sosuke naturally had no objection, and followed Matsumoto Sachiko across the beach.
