Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

I want to be a superhero, I want to be a professional athlete, I want to be a cartoonist, I want to be an astronaut, I want to be an idol.

No matter how absurd the dream is, no one will frown or sneer at it.

But at this age of college students, future dreams are equated with future work or lifestyle, so many people no longer use this word.

After all, reality is cold, and people who are keen on talking about dreams will gradually become lonely.

In fact, if Ginjo Sosuke openly told the people around him that his dream was to enjoy life freely, they would definitely look at him with a mocking expression.

But now the passive income of 10000 yen per day is basically enough to meet his current needs as a college student.

And future income will surely continue to increase. It has to be said that Yincheng’s dream and his system really fit together.

However, for Lisa Shiraishi, realizing her career aspirations does not seem to be that easy.

According to her family and the general perception of today's society, she would definitely be asked to become a doctor, lawyer or something like that.

Judging from her parents' strict demands on her, they must have high expectations for her. As just a small "editor", it would probably be difficult for them to satisfy her.

Lisa Shiraishi is so smart that she knew this would be the result, so she kept her dream to herself until she met Ginjo...

Although Yincheng has never been in the same situation as her, he can now understand a little bit of her feelings. It must be very depressing to have a life arranged and imposed on you by others.

"Because I like words, I want to do a job related to words. At least for me, this is a good enough reason to pursue my dream."

In order to sound as sincere as possible, Ginjo carefully wove his words.

"Is that so? Thank you, Sosuke. Actually, I'm a little unconfident. I don't know if a simple hobby can be a career choice in the future, and..."

Lisa Shiraishi sighed softly and hesitated to speak.

"And there are family reasons, right?"

Ginjo could probably guess her concerns.

"Your parents have already made college choices and career plans for you, right?"

"Um..."

Lisa Shiraishi nodded awkwardly and continued.

"In fact, Sosuke can guess it without me saying it, right? After all, there are quite a few college students like me."

"It's just that I'm a little tired of this kind of life. Like I said before, I haven't experienced things that ordinary people take for granted."

"The fun of staying over at my bestie's house, the experience of tasting delicious food at the festival, the atmosphere of playing in a place like that, and going on a school uniform date with a boy I like..."

Lisa Shiraishi seemed to have a lot of unresolved emotions accumulated in her heart.

"Because these things are depicted in novels or comics, right?"

Ginjo Sousuke continued her words.

"Yes, only after experiencing it myself did I find that it was happier, more exciting, and happier than I had imagined..."

“So I want to experience more different things with Sosuke, and then help the author create better stories so that other people can experience different lives.”

"So I would hesitate about the choice of further studies. If I want to engage in a related career, I should first start by choosing the corresponding university major."

"Even though I say that, it's hard to convince my family."

Lisa Shiraishi gave a somewhat helpless smile.

The editing career she imagined was probably completely opposite to her parents' expectations.

"So, has Lisa made up her mind about what choice she will make now?"

Ginjo Sousuke turned his head and asked her.

"I want to think about this answer for a while."

She just answered like this.

Ginjo decided not to ask any more questions and simply got on the bike. Shiraishi Lisa also carefully sat on the back seat and naturally put her arms around his waist.

Ginjo gently touched the joints of the tender little white hands placed in front of his belly, then began to pedal.

“Maybe one day my dream will be to become a novelist.”

"Then I will be the editor-in-chief?"

"Perhaps that will be the case."

"One day, I discovered a novel you wrote under a completely different pen name. I had no idea about it, but I burst into tears because of the beautiful story."

"When I was planning to publish a book and contacted the author, Sosuke showed up at the meeting place."

“It’s just like a fairy tale.”

"There is also a reality that is like a fairy tale, right next to me..."

Shiraishi Lisa held Ginjō's hands tighter, and when she came to her senses, she found that the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.

The small road with few street lights is particularly quiet, with no cars or pedestrians.

If you press the dynamo lighting pedal on the front wheel with your toe, the tire will become heavy, emit a low sound, and illuminate the area several meters ahead.

The future of two people will surely be like this, dispelling the darkness ahead...

......

On early summer nights, the temperature is so high that the air conditioner needs to be turned on all the time.

Mochizuki Haruka has recently started working overtime again, so she has been in contact with Ginjo through LINE during this period, but today she called him, a rare call.

"Final exam?"

During today's phone call, a word appeared that made her feel very nostalgic.

"Yes, there are still more than two weeks before the end-of-term exams begin."

Ginjo Sousuke was lying on his bed, chatting with her.

"It's the final exam. It's a very student-like vocabulary. I almost forgot this word."

"Well, this is my first final exam since transferring here."

"That's true. So, how did Ginjo-san do on his midterm exam?"

"It's OK. It's acceptable."

Ginjo was always quite relaxed about the topic of exams.

"Is Wangyue still in the company now?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm still working overtime and my brain is almost too tired to think, so I sneaked out to talk to you on the phone for a while."

“It’s really hard work.”

Ginjo lamented the poor office workers, who were much more tired than when they were in school.

"It's okay. I'm used to it. Ginjo-san must be very busy right now, preparing for the exam."

"As for me, I have to be a little busier than usual."

In fact, Yincheng had no intention of preparing for the exam in advance, but as a college student, he still needed to pretend.

"Hey, does that mean we shouldn't talk on the phone too often until you finish your exams?"

There was a barely perceptible hint of loss in Mochizuki Haruka's tone.

"No, calling won't waste much time."

Ginjo answered casually.

"Really? I was planning to ask you out during the break this week, but I didn't expect to have exams. It seems I've been away from school for too long."

"But there's nothing I can do about it. A student's duty is to study. I will also suppress my desire to see you. You should do your best in the exams."

Mochizuki Haruka started talking to herself.

"After the exam is over, let's talk about love as much as we want!"

She originally wanted to encourage Ginjo, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something seemed wrong, and a strong sense of shame suddenly hit her.

Mochizuki Haruka couldn't help but fall into self-loathing annoyance. What on earth was I talking about? I wondered if he would be scared?

"Okay, then let's talk about love as much as we want."

Yincheng thought she was a little cute and couldn't help laughing on the phone.

"Ah, Ginjō-san really made fun of me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Mochizuki Haruka apologized hurriedly.

"No need to apologize, but after hearing what Mochizuki said, I actually want to just drop the exam and go play with you."

Ginjo comforted her easily.

"So Ginjō thinks the same as I do?"

Mochizuki Haruka thought to herself.

Honestly, Mochizuki Haruka felt that she might not be able to endure not seeing him for more than two weeks.

But she didn't want to disturb Ginjo Sosuke from his studies, and as the older one, she also had to maintain some necessary reserve. She couldn't just keep shouting "I miss you so much".

Ah, yes!

The distressed Mochizuki Yao suddenly had a good idea.

"Well, Ginjo-san, you should come to my room this weekend."

"Let me help you with your homework!"

She told Yincheng what she thought was the best proposal.

"what?"

Ginjo didn't react for a moment, but he suddenly became interested in what she could teach him, so he finally agreed.

And so Sunday came quickly.

"Too slow! You're late, Ginjō-san!"

When Ginjo came to Mochizuki Haruka's room, she suddenly took out the class baton and pointed it at him, trying to say this.

She seemed to be a little too excited because she hadn't seen Ginjo for a long time, and accidentally behaved in a way that was not in line with her image.
