Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"Bookstores are different from libraries. They are for business. If customers only read new books on the platform, it will waste space outside the platform."

"The bookcases in a bookstore will die if they are not moved. I know a few bookstores where bookcases have accumulated dust and decayed and eventually disappeared~"

"Thank you for your philosophical and implicit explanation, Senior."

"How about it, handsome, right?"

"Yeah, it's just like the old grandfather with a white beard who is hundreds of years old in role-playing games."

"Hmm, what a strange metaphor."

The older woman pouted her lips in disapproval.

Ginjo Sousuke thought about their conversation while scanning the new books on the platform.

From some perspectives, a bookstore can be seen as a showcase for human intellectual property.

Especially new books, which can directly reflect the trend of the times, and you can get a sense of it just by looking at the title and cover.

Yincheng usually likes to kill time in this way.

After passing the platform, he started walking around the store.

In addition to checking the new books, I also briefly scanned the backs of the books on the bookshelf.

Like this, to grasp the situation of the store in advance and then evaluate the latest trends in the book market, this may be the content of the research activities that Matsumoto Sachiko wants to do?

Indeed, for a literature student who wants to understand people's preferences for the latest books, there is no better place to work than a bookstore.

Ginjo roughly walked around the circle, and suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.

"Hi, Sachiko."

When I turned around, I saw Matsumoto Sachiko standing there in the bookstore uniform.

"Please don't show up so suddenly. I thought my heart was going to stop."

"Sousuke is the one who suddenly appeared, right? Besides, is your heart that fragile?"

"Don't look at me like this, my heart is quite delicate."

"Show me what you have to say and I'll believe you."

"If you can get it back to its original state, it wouldn't hurt to show it to you."

As Ginjo Sousuke spoke, he looked Matsumoto Sachiko up and down.

Under the uniform, she wore a pair of tight jeans with a sleeveless white top today, and her short bob hair was fluffy and soft, looking very refreshing.

"Tell me, why did Sosuke think of coming to my place? It couldn't be that he just happened to wander here, right?"

Although Matsumoto Sachiko was very surprised by Ginjo's appearance, she still tried her best to control her emotions. After all, it was still working hours.

"There's nothing to do in the apartment. When I was chatting with Sister Tomoko, I learned that you were working part-time here, so I came over to take a look."

It’s not quite accurate to say that there was nothing to do. Yincheng just did what he was supposed to do several times in a row and finished it all.

"It's really relaxing~"

“That’s what college students are like.”

"No, I'm doing social research, right? Doesn't Sousuke have any seminars or club experiments?"

"Huh? Why can't I hear anything Sachiko is saying?"

"Please don't react like an elementary school student. How old are you now?"

"Haha, it's because I'm an adult that I can live so clearly. It won't do any good to make myself too tired."

"Really? Where did you learn so many crooked theories?"

Matsumoto Sachiko was amused by him and started laughing, and pulled him to a secluded corner of the bookstore.

"Hey, Sousuke, you missed me, didn't you?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Matsumoto Sachiko unknowingly moved closer to Ginjō...

Chapter 515: In an Empty Corner with Matsumoto Sachiko

The two had not met each other since their first close contact that went beyond friendship on Enoshima.

Matsumoto Sachiko began to concentrate on her summer research report, while Ginjo Sosuke continued to shuttle between women as usual.

That sudden sweet memory was preserved intact and is still full of freshness until now.

"I just happened to want to buy a new comic book, so I came here."

Ginjo smiled slyly and deliberately didn't answer her question directly.

"You're kidding! There are so many bookstores in Tokyo. Why would you go all the way if you just want to buy comics?"

Matsumoto Sachiko puffed up her lips and exposed him bluntly.

"Haha, isn't it because I have too much free time? It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. No matter how old you are, your inner self will not change."

"You're talking so profoundly, but to be honest, you're just trying to cover up your decadent college life..."

"That's not the case. College students aren't much more mature than high school students, are they?"

Ginjo Sosuke said with a smile that he had fought with his wife for three hundred rounds early in the morning and he was still immersed in that happy mood.

"Really? In that case, Sousuke, just take your time looking for your comic book. I still have work to do."

"Okay, I wasn't just kidding you. Actually, I just wanted to see what Sachiko looked like in the bookstore uniform, so I took the trouble to come all the way here."

Matsumoto Sachiko made a move to turn around and leave, but was quickly stopped by Ginjo who stretched out his hand.

"So Sousuke still misses me, right?"

The expression on Matsumoto Sachiko's face immediately became full of anticipation, and she seemed to be very obsessed with the answer to this question.

"That's right, because I haven't seen Sachiko since the last time I had fun in Enoshima."

"Every time I go to eat at Sister Tomoko's place, I never see you."

Ginjo tapped her forehead gently with his finger. Since she wanted to hear such an answer, it would not be difficult to satisfy her.

In fact, many times, there is no need to go to great lengths to give girls gifts to make them happy. It is easier to just say a few sweet words.

So sometimes practicing your verbal skills can save you a lot of real money.

"I never thought that the popular Sosuke would come to see me. I feel so happy."

As expected, just a few words from Ginjo made Matsumoto Sachiko cling to him limply.

"Be careful or you might be seen by other guests."

Ginjo Sousuke leaned close to her ear and reminded her gently.

"Ah, that's true. I got too carried away..."

Matsumoto Sachiko quickly took two steps back and looked around.

Fortunately, there were not many customers in the store at this time, and no one noticed the corner where they were.

"By the way, mom didn't come with you, did she?"

"Huh? Why is Sister Tomoko coming too?"

"Because she has mentioned this many times when she was at home, saying that she wanted to see her daughter working like an adult, but I stopped her every time. It's too embarrassing to do that."

"Is that so? Maybe all parents would have that thought, right? But don't worry, I came here alone. Sister Tomoko was too tired, so she rested at home first."

"It's only noon now, why are you so tired that you need to rest? Are you feeling unwell?"

Matsumoto Sachiko asked nervously.

"Well, that's not the case. Sister Tomoko seems to have cleaned the entire yard this morning. The weather is so hot, so it's inevitable that she feels a little tired."

Only then did Ginjo Sousuke realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he quickly made up an excuse to try to cover it up.

Even though Matsumoto Sachiko knew about the relationship between him and his wife, being exhausted so early in the morning was still too much of a shock for her.

"Really? I've told mom several times that we should wait until the evening when it's cooler to do this kind of thing, but she never listens to me."

Matsumoto Sachiko sighed helplessly.

I didn't expect that the excuse Ginjo made up could be passed so easily. It seems that she is really naive in this regard.

"By the way, Sachiko, did you hear about Chiaki inviting us on vacation?"

Ginjo Sousuke quickly changed the topic to another direction.

"Yeah, Qianqiu sent me a LINE message last night. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for a long time."

"I heard it's a villa in the countryside, right? That's great. I didn't expect I could go out and play again before the holiday."

Matsumoto Sachiko crossed her fingers in front of her chest, her excitement evident.

"Yes, but I wonder if it's close to the beach?"

Yin Cheng's tone was much calmer than hers.

"Eh? Hasn't Sousuke had enough fun at the beach? Didn't we stay in Okinawa for a long time?"

Matsumoto Sachiko asked with a curious look on her face.

"Hmm? Of course, there are female college students wearing sexy swimsuits everywhere on the beach, and they come over to chat with me from time to time."

Ginjo said this deliberately, wanting to see how she would react.

"Hey, could you please not look so smug?"

"What kind of swimsuit is a sexy swimsuit? Aren't the swimsuits that Chie-nee, Chiaki-nee, and I wore sexy enough?"

As expected, Matsumoto Sachiko fell into the trap and questioned Ginjō in a coquettish manner.

This look of hers, as if she was angry yet not, was very cute. Ginjo looked down at her from a high vantage point and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"What's wrong, Sachiko? You look disgusted by the seaside."

"Nothing, when I think of the beach, all I can think of is a crowd of people."

Is there a way to avoid the crowds and swim at the coast during the summer vacation?

"It's not like we're going there for swimming anyway, so it doesn't matter."
