Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Tomorrow is Monday, and Mochizuki Haruka will start her busy work again, so Ginjo wants her to rest early. After all, she has exerted a lot of physical energy today.

Arriving at the entrance, Mochizuki held Ginjo's arm reluctantly.

"I'm really leaving this time."

"Good night, Xiaoyao."

Ginjo Sosuke gently kissed her tender lips and then left the room.

Hearing his footsteps gradually fading away, Mochizuki Haruka came back to her senses from the sweetness of the goodnight kiss.

After returning to the house, she immediately fell on her bed, turned over and lay on her back, looking at the ceiling, muttering to herself.

"Ginjo-san."

"No, you can just call him Sousuke now."

From the last trip to the amusement park to today's special extracurricular teaching, the relationship between the two people has developed rapidly.

This must not be her illusion. Not only has the name changed, but the most important thing is...

As Mochizuki Haruka felt the changes in her body, her fair face turned slightly red.

"Oh, really, why did I start thinking about that again..."

She buried her face in the pillow and kicked her legs up and down, unable to help herself.

Mochizuki Haruka gently placed her hand on her chest. She knew very well that her heart was beating violently.

"I like Sosuke so much."

She murmured these words, and at the same time felt her face getting hot.

Her life has changed dramatically since she met Ginjo.

They went on a date like any other college couple and held hands naturally.

Go shopping together, feed each other, and then kiss...

Invite him to your home, expose your skin in front of him, and finally...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Mochizuki Haruka couldn't help but scream.

She kept shaking her head.

"Why do I always end up thinking about that?"

Mochizuki Haruka tried hard to shake off the pink delusion that appeared in her mind.

"It seems like I can't forget it. Maybe it's because it's too beautiful..."

Mochizuki Haruka complained about herself like this, trying to cover up the matter...

On the other side, Ginjo returned to his room and stood by the window, feeling the rare coolness of the night.

The breeze blows across your cheeks, bringing a refreshing feeling.

In the yard downstairs, all you can see are the shadows of trees illuminated by the moonlight, and everything around has fallen silent.

Ginjo Sousuke couldn't help but feel emotional as he thought back on what had happened in the few short months since he came to Tokyo.

Tomorrow is Monday again, and the county competition and final exams are coming up soon.

As long as he passes these two tests, an infinitely wonderful summer vacation will be waiting for him.

Thinking of this, Yin Cheng couldn't help but get excited again...

Chapter 169 The day has finally come

As the final exams draw closer, the atmosphere in school becomes more and more tense.

The number of small groups of students chatting and laughing together decreased visibly, and everyone's expressions seemed to be more serious.

Even Ryuichi Okamoto, who is usually lazy, has become much more restrained. In the prestigious school of Takenoko, the concept of further studies has been integrated into everyone's blood.

Sosuke Ginjo, who did not have much academic pressure, put more energy into the training of the water polo club, so he almost shuttled back and forth between the classroom, the welfare club and the outdoor swimming pool every day.

The county competition will finally begin this weekend, and sixteen teams will fight against each other until the final champion is determined.

Compared to the regional qualifiers for the national baseball and football tournaments, which often have hundreds of participating teams, there are very few schools that can form water polo teams.

This is happening in the most prosperous city, Tokyo. If it were somewhere else, there wouldn't even be a chance to hold the competition.

There is a competition on Saturday and Sunday every weekend, which means that after four competition days in two weeks, the final winner will be determined.

With only four wins needed to reach the top, the goal the girls have been chasing for so long now seems to be within reach.

After school on Friday, the water polo club canceled a training session in order to allow the players to get enough rest, and instead held a small pre-match mobilization meeting in the classroom.

When Ginjo Sosuke arrived at the empty classroom, Shiraishi Lisa was already waiting there.

The wind coming in from the open window gently blew her silver hair.

She rested her cheek on her elbows on the old, scratched desk, while cumulonimbus clouds floated in the blue sky outside the window.

This moment is like a scene that symbolizes youth, making people want to press the shutter immediately to preserve it forever. This thought suddenly occurred to Sosuke Ginjo.

Lisa Shiraishi blinked gently and turned her head towards him.

"Ah, Ginjō-san is here."

The aura that emanated from her earlier was like a summer mirage, she called out briskly and waved at Ginjō.

"Shiraishi-senpai, you're here so early."

When they were in school, they were still used to the previous names.

"Well, tomorrow is the day of the competition, so it's inevitable that I will lose my patience."

She nodded and said.

"Have we decided on our opponent tomorrow?"

Ginjo came and sat down on the chair next to her.

"Yes, it's Qingshan College."

As the president of the water polo club, Lisa Shiraishi attended the draw ceremony for the county tournament today.

"Qingshan Academy? Is it a strong team?"

Yincheng just transferred here this year, so he doesn't know much about other schools.

"Although we lost to Makino University in the first round last year, the final score was quite close."

"I went to watch the game live, so I was very impressed. They are really a team that should not be underestimated."

Lisa Shiraishi carefully introduced tomorrow's opponent to Ginjo. Due to her love for water polo, she basically attended every game last year, and this year she finally got the chance to play on her own.

"That's the Makino University that we narrowly beat in the warm-up match, right?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked.

"That's right, they were also the champions of last year's county tournament, and the one who decided the outcome of that match was the Takagi Yuko I mentioned to you."

"By the way, the friendly match was really exciting. The feeling of tasting victory for the first time made me unable to sleep well for several days."

Lisa Shiraishi narrowed her eyes as she spoke, as if she was feeling very nostalgic.

"But that was when Takagi Yuko didn't play. She will definitely play in the official match this time. I hope the balance of victory will tilt towards us."

She paused here, pursed her lips in annoyance for a moment, then let out a faint smile as if sighing.

Then he turned his head again, as if trying to spy on Ginjō's expression.

"Yes, we will definitely meet Makino University in which round?"

Yincheng looks confident, but in this cruel competition system where one game decides the winner, it is crucial to understand the opponent in each round.

"If we want to face Makino University again, we have to make it to the finals because they are placed in the other half of the group."

Shiraishi Lisa's expression also became serious.

"Is that so? Looks like we have to go all out. I really want to see the true strength of this legendary Takagi Yuko."

Takezono vs. Makino? If everything goes well, the meeting between the two teams in the final will have a bit of a fateful duel.

"Well, this is the last summer of my senior year. After this competition is over, my water polo career may be over."

Lisa Shiraishi's tone sounded a little lonely.

"Isn't there still a national competition, Shiraishi-senpai?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked in confusion.

"Unfortunately, the national competition has been cancelled. I just learned about it at the draw ceremony today."

“This is probably the fate of niche sports. Doesn’t it sound a bit sad?”

Lisa Shiraishi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"No, but now that it's done, we should use the county championship to make a perfect farewell."

Ginjo shook his head and then spoke.

In fact, this is not really explosive news. The popularity of baseball's Koshien is enough to sweep the entire country, and the college football league has been held for hundreds of times.

These programs have a huge student base and audience, and are of course favored by sponsors and broadcasters.

As for water polo, one of the most popular regional competitions only has so few teams, so there seems to be little point in continuing to hold the national competition.

"Well, Ginjo-san is right. I don't regret choosing this sport at all because it's really my passion."

"My long-cherished dream is right before my eyes. I must seize it."

Lisa Shiraishi said this and looked towards the playground again.

Ginjo followed her gaze, and the two of them watched the noisy after-school atmosphere in silence.

The summer sun poured in from the second-floor window, reflecting on Lisa Shiraishi's profile.

Her skin, which was almost makeup-free, was as smooth as a baby's, and her eyelashes, which were incredibly long, cast a faint shadow under the warm sunlight.

Her sparkling eyes were full of anticipation, her straight nose was slightly puffed up from time to time, and her moist lips were slightly opened. Such a quiet and elegant appearance made Yincheng a little intoxicated for a moment.
