Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Yincheng took out a bottle of soda water from the car, unscrewed the cap and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Sosuke."

Chiaki Hoshino took the bottle, found a shady corner, stopped and drank some water to quench her thirst.

"You should drink some too? It's really hot today."

"Yeah, that's true."

After she drank, Yincheng also started to drink from the bottle.

The weather today is hot enough to cause heat stroke, and not drinking enough water could really lead to serious consequences.

The edge of the bottle mouth seems to still retain the unique fragrance of the girl's lips. If this situation is for boys and girls who are not very familiar with each other, it is undoubtedly an indirect kiss.

That’s right, to put it bluntly, summer is the best season for hormones between men and women.

But for the experienced Yincheng, he had already skipped this childish stage and entered the next level of exploring more, deeper and more varied things.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find you guys. I want to drink too~"

It seemed that Matsumoto Sachiko went into the supermarket and then came back to find them. She was so thirsty that she reached out and snatched the soda water from Ginjo's hand.

"Slow down, Sachiko. Be careful not to choke."

Ginjo Sosuke's reminder had no effect, and Matsumoto Sachiko drank all the water in one breath.

"Huh, I was running so fast just now because Chihui-sister dragged me along, I didn't even have time to drink water. I'm so thirsty."

"By the way, why don't you two go in? Mom asked me to come out to look for you."

Matsumoto Sachiko wiped the wet corners of her mouth and asked them.

"I think Qianqiu looks a little unwell, so let her drink some water and rest here."

"Eh? Sister Qianqiu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe I was a little carsick, but I feel much better now after drinking some water. Let's go in quickly."

After resting for a while, Chiaki Hoshino's condition did recover a lot.

The three of them didn't waste any more time here and quickly walked into the supermarket not far ahead.

The air conditioning in the store was turned on very high, and my hot skin was instantly covered by the refreshing coolness.

"We just need to buy food and some daily necessities, right?"

After everyone reunited, Matsumoto Tomoko asked this to Hoshino Chiaki.

"Well, I heard from Mr. Hojo that the villa has all the appliances, so in addition to the food and daily necessities, let's prepare some charcoal and nets for Barbie Q."

"By the way, there may be a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, so it might be a good idea for us to buy some mosquito coils."

This was the first time for everyone here, and they could only get some information about the villa from Chiaki Hoshino.

"Barbie Q?!"

When Chie Hoshino heard this word, she turned around with an exaggerated reaction. Sure enough, this woman's brain is connected to her stomach, right?

"Can we have an outdoor barbecue at Mr. Hojo's villa?"

"It's the villa of a teacher's friend, but Hojo-sensei did tell me that the garden there is very large and there is also a special Barbie Q oven."

"Great, let's enjoy the delicious barbecue tonight!"

Before getting everyone's consent, Chie Hoshino announced this excitedly.

But there is definitely no one who would object to this kind of thing. When you come to this kind of outdoor environment full of natural atmosphere, barbecue is always the best choice.

"I'm really looking forward to it. We can all get together and have fun together like we did in Okinawa~"

Matsumoto Sachiko also echoed.

"Yeah, I'm going to do my best to let everyone experience the great fun of Barbie Q again!"

Chie Hoshino emphasized with a serious look that her emotional ups and downs were really too intense.

"How about this, Chiaki and I will take care of the ingredients, and Sosuke-kun will take Chie and Sachiko to buy the other necessary items, right?"

In order to save time, Tomoko Matsumoto suggested that everyone act separately.

"Yeah, let's do it this way. We'll meet at the checkout counter later."

As soon as Ginjo Sosuke finished his words, Hoshino Chie couldn't wait to push her shopping cart towards the grocery area.

The wife smiled and nodded, and took Chiaki Hoshino, who also had a keen interest in cooking, to start shopping for ingredients for the barbecue in the evening.

Although this supermarket is located in the countryside, it is of a fairly large scale. The shelves are filled with a wide variety of merchandise, attracting many tourists who come here to escape the summer heat.

"Hey, Sosuke, is one bag of charcoal enough for the barbecue?"

As expected, Chie Hoshino was the most interested in this matter, and she rushed to the area selling outdoor products as soon as possible.

Matsumoto Sachiko went to the medicine area to purchase insect repellents and mosquito coils.

"It should be enough, but considering your appetite, it would be safer to buy one more bag."

Yincheng picked out the tools for starting the fire and the grill and put them in the shopping cart.

"Yeah, that's true. We should prepare more of everything so that we don't have to make another trip."

"I forgot to tell Sister Tomoko that we must buy more ingredients, especially sausages and other things. They are indispensable for barbecue."

Chie Hoshino's eyes lit up and she started thinking about dinner.

"I'm really defeated by you. Did you digest all those fried meat patties I ate yesterday?"

"Of course. It's been a long time. And I like eating all kinds of meat anyway."

"Is that so? Well, I have one here that I can give you, and you can keep eating it."

Ginjo let out a sly smile, and this time it was finally his turn to tease her.

"Hate it, I think I went too far in the car, that's why Sousuke is like this."

Chie Hoshino immediately understood what Ginjō meant, raised her hand and patted Ginjō's arm with a charming smile.

"Yes, that's why I say that you should be responsible for extinguishing the flame you started."

The white spring light just now appeared in front of Yincheng's eyes again.

"Well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the villa anyway. But Sosuke has to be careful, I have a really big appetite lately."

Chie Hoshino stretched out her tongue and gently licked her lips, looking like she was ready to swallow Ginjo Sousuke whole...

Chapter 527: Like a Duck in Water

After spending about half an hour shopping, the group got in the car and headed for the villa.

Since we were staying for more than a day, we bought a lot of food and daily necessities. There were so many things to take that everyone's hands were filled with shopping bags.

After driving on the mountain road for about ten minutes, the final destination finally appeared in front of us.

“It’s a villa, it feels like being in nature...”

As soon as they got out of the car, the deep green forest scenery appeared before them.

Amid the greenery that filled the field of vision, the sound of birds chirping could be heard from somewhere.

Maybe it's because the surrounding trees block the sunlight, or maybe it's because of the high altitude, it's much cooler here than the previous place, and the temperature may be nearly ten degrees lower.

The sparse light from the forest pouring down from overhead shone on the road, like a fantasy.

"This should be it, Chiaki?"

Ginjo Sousuke looked around and then asked Hoshino Chiaki.

After they parked their car in the designated parking lot in the villa area, they immediately saw a building that looked more like an office than a villa.

"Yes, that should be the management office where the villa is located that Mr. Hojo mentioned before."

Chiaki Hoshino looked ahead and nodded affirmatively.

"Management office?"

Chie Hoshino had a puzzled expression on her face.

Clearly, Chiaki Hoshino had already told everyone the general situation of the villa in the car just now, but she still looked like she was hearing it for the first time.

Maybe she was busy flirting with Ginjo at that time, so she completely ignored the matter.

Most of the time, women are single-threaded animals. All their energy is focused on the lower part, so their brains become insufficient.

“Basically, there will be a joint management company in the location of these villas.”

"As long as you pay, they will manage the villa, collect luggage and clean up garbage when the owner is away. In other words, the management company collects management fees from the owner and then operates the villa."

Chiaki Hoshino had to explain it to her again.

These villas in the woods are mostly used for vacation and are generally not inhabited all year round, so such a company is needed to help manage them.

"I see. This is a unique situation for the location of the villa, right? How far is it from the one we are going to stay in?"

"It's probably less than five minutes' walk, but since it's uphill, it might be a bit tiring."

"It's only five minutes. It's no big deal. Let's go."

With only a little distance left to their destination, the group climbed up a gently sloping slope.

But just as Hoshino Chiaki said, the women except Ginjō immediately began to breathe heavily.

The ramp was not very steep, but everyone was holding a lot of large and small bags in their hands.

Tomoko Matsumoto seemed a little tired after driving all the way.

It should also be a test for those girls who have not joined sports clubs and have chronically lacked exercise.

Hoshino Chiaki and Matsumoto Sachiko looked tired, and the always energetic Hoshino Chie also showed a little fatigue.

Even though she was an active athlete in high school, she had abandoned her skills after entering college, and her physical strength naturally declined.

"Qianqiu, let me carry the bag."

"Ah, thank you, Sosuke."

"Sachiko, give me your bags as well. Just carry the suitcase for me."
