Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

With that said, Yin Cheng understood. He grew up with his grandfather, and the accent problem was probably influenced by his grandfather.

"So Kana is also from Hokkaido?"

"Yeah, yes, so this is one of the reasons why Sousuke makes me feel close to him."

"I came to Tokyo from my hometown far away, and I don't have many friends."

"Meeting Sosuke who also came from Hokkaido, I can feel some of the warmth of my hometown."

"Haha, then the Hokkaido Association in our apartment is officially established from today."

Ginjo Sosuke's answer made Kobayakawa Kana laugh continuously.

A bright smile matches a charming face.

Kobayakawa has a unique affinity when he takes off his work clothes and relaxes.

"By the way, speaking of hobbies, if baking doesn't count, what other hobbies does Kana have?"

Ginjo Sousuke recalled the previous topic.

Kana Kobayakawa pouted her lips and thought for a while.

"Hobbies...hobbies...Oh, sometimes, I watch some reptile videos on my phone."

"Reptiles?"

Ginjo Sosuke looked surprised.

"Well, actually, like snakes and lizards, I quite like looking at these things."

"Many people take videos of their lizards and post them online."

"Usually they are bearded dragons, leopard geckos, plains monitors, etc."

“The reptile-related channel is actually quite popular.”

"Originally I had no interest in lizards, but a good classmate in college loved raising reptiles."

"It is said that she has dozens of them. When I was chatting with her, I became interested."

“Looking back, I realized I had become addicted to watching these videos.”

"Lizards, they're really... really interesting."

"First of all, it looks good, like a dinosaur, but the way it eats the bait is super cute."

"Also, unlike mammals, it is not friendly to humans, but its cruelty is one of its charms."

After saying all this, Kana Kobayakawa suddenly froze.

She seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Oops! I accidentally let slip my real hobby!"

"I came to my senses and realized that I had been talking non-stop."

"Such a weird hobby will definitely make Sousuke think I'm a weird woman."

"Oh, it's all because Sosuke was so kind, I just said it subconsciously..."

Kana Kobayakawa thought like this, and her complicated psychological activities made her little face turn red.

After a while, he said softly: "I'm sorry, Sosuke, this hobby is weird, right? Does it scare you..."

"No, I think Kana's topic is quite interesting."

Ginjo Sousuke said with a bright smile.

Kana Kobayakawa finally let go of her worries.

"To be honest, I was a little surprised when I first heard about Kana's hobby."

"But Kana, after all, hobbies are for relaxing yourself during your free time."

"So I think this is also a glimpse into Kana's unexpected private side. In fact, I am also very interested in these, haha."

Kana Kobayakawa felt warm in her heart.

Ginjo Sousuke really is the perfect person to talk to.

How long has it been since I talked about something like this with others?

As we get older, interpersonal relationships outside of work become increasingly rare.

So...it really feels like it's been a long time since I last felt this way...

It's been a long time since I felt so moved, revealing my true self in front of others...

Chapter 17: Walking Together in the Morning

Kana Kobayakawa just looked at Sousuke Ginjo beside her.

The hair was not completely dry because he had just taken a shower, so it was messy yet casual.

Combined with the boy's angular and delicate face, there is an unexpected wild beauty.

The exposed muscles have clear and smooth lines, tight but not too thick.

A harmonious and perfect image of a beautiful boy.

If he makes his debut, he will probably be a top idol, enthusiastically worshipped by thousands of girls.

Kana Kobayakawa thought foolishly and fell into her own world.

No, no!

Wake up, Kana Kobayakawa!

Ginjo and himself were simply superior and subordinate in the convenience store.

When I returned to the apartment, I saw my neighbor, who was from the same hometown as Hokkaido.

If Yincheng agrees, then we can still be considered friends.

This is the relationship that should exist between us. We cannot ask for more.

She is a divorced woman with strange hobbies that most people cannot understand, and she is several years older than Ginjo.

Thinking of this, Kana Kobayakawa felt more and more that her relationship with Sosuke Ginjo might end here.

I don't need it, and there's no need for it.

I really shouldn't ask for that much...

But is this really the case?

Kana Kobayakawa seemed unable to convince herself after all.

After all, I am just a 23-year-old young woman.

Deep down, I still long to be liked, pursued, and pampered...

If this person could be Ginjo Sosuke...

......

"If there are any recommended channels for videos about reptiles, can you tell me? I'll check it out next time. It seems very interesting."

Ginjo Sosuke's unique magnetic voice interrupted Kana Kobayakawa's confused thoughts.

"Ah... ok ok, I'll send it to you later haha."

Kana Kobayakawa smiled awkwardly, her voice still containing some panic as she had just come to her senses.

"Um...Sousuke...it's getting late today. I'm going back first. See you at the store tomorrow."

Kana Kobayakawa felt that she had to go back quickly, otherwise she didn't know what unexpected action she would do in the heat of the moment.

"Eh? Are you back so early? You haven't even opened this bag of potato chips yet."

"Leave that to Sousuke, and the same with the snacks. If Sousuke likes them, I can bake some more next time."

"Okay then. By the way, Kana, you may have to go to the store a little later after school tomorrow. There are some things to deal with at school."

"Okay, okay."

Kana Kobayakawa agreed casually, without even asking for the specific reason, and got up and left the room.

"I left in a hurry."

As Ginjo Sousuke thought about this, he picked up another puff and started eating it.

The night is deep, with only a bright moon casting a soft light.

Stars are scattered on the huge black canvas.

Being so far apart from each other, I wonder if you feel lonely too?

......

The next morning, Ginjo Sosuke woke up early and opened the window as usual.

woohoo...

The wind howled in the early morning, obviously much stronger than usual.

It seemed to have rained last night, and some undried water marks could still be seen in the yard on the first floor.

Walking down the stairs, Yincheng enjoyed the unique quietness of the early morning in the apartment.

Ginjo felt a little strange that he didn't see Matsumoto Tomoko cleaning the yard today. He walked to his wife's room and knocked on the door gently.

After a while, the door was suddenly opened.

Tomoko Matsumoto seemed a little flustered. She didn't even have time to comb her hair, and her beautiful black hair looked a little messy.

"Oh, sorry, Sousuke-kun, I overslept..."

"Maybe I was a little tired yesterday and slept too deeply..."

When the two people's eyes met, Ginjo discovered that there was a hint of shame in Matsumoto Tomoko's eyes.

"Maybe it's because I haven't had strenuous exercise for a long time, and my body hasn't adapted to it yet."

Yin Cheng thought so in his heart.
