Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

"I'm back, Sister Tomoko."

Ginjo said to his wife with a smile.

"Is Chie not here today?"

In fact, as soon as he entered the room, he found that the room was not as lively as usual. After looking around, he found that Chie Hoshino was gone.

"My sister is still working, so she will be back later."

Chiaki Hoshino said a little embarrassedly.

"I see. It's getting late now."

Ginjo nodded and said.

"The university exams are almost over. Although it's not officially summer vacation yet, I have more free time than usual."

"That's why my sister asked the place where she worked to arrange more work for her."

Chiaki Hoshino lowered her head, her eyes falling on the little feet in slippers.

It can be seen that she felt very guilty because her sister forbade her to work again due to her previous bad experience. Although she mentioned it several times later, she was still firmly rejected.

Although Chie Hoshino looks cheerful, she is actually a girl with a strong sense of responsibility.

Having been wandering among various relatives since childhood and experiencing the ups and downs of life, she has been taking care of all the big and small matters in the family since the two sisters became independent.

Perhaps it is because she grew up in such an environment that she has the personality she has now. If she doesn't make herself more optimistic, how can she overcome the difficulties in life?

"Chie is really having a hard time. I'll stop teasing her for a while."

Ginjo walked closer to Hoshino Chiaki and spoke softly.

"My sister actually likes bickering with Sousuke. She often brings it up when she gets home."

"But don't tell her, or she won't forgive me."

When Chiaki Hoshino talked about this, she seemed to be in a better mood and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Haha, don't worry, Qianqiu, I get it."

Ginjo said with a smile.

At this extremely close distance, with such a height difference, looking down from above, the petite girl looks even more delicate and lovely.

"Eh? Chie hasn't come back yet? Dinner is almost ready."

Tomoko Matsumoto poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.

"I just sent a message to my sister. She is on her way back and should be here soon."

"Let me help you serve the food, Sister Tomoko."

Chiaki Hoshino said as she walked inside.

"I'll help too. What are we having for dinner tonight, Sister Tomoko?"

Ginjo Sousuke followed.

"Special omelette, croquettes, plum cold noodles, and tofu skin miso soup."

After the table was filled with delicious dishes, Tomoko Matsumoto introduced her masterpieces to them one by one.

"smell good."

Yincheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. His wife's cooking was always the perfect comfort after a tiring day.

"Now we just have to wait for Chie."

Tomoko Matsumoto cut the rolled omelet into four equal parts and placed them on a small plate in front of each person.

"Normally, my sister should have come back by this time."

Chiaki Hoshino glanced at her phone with some uneasiness.

"I hope nothing happened on the way. When I was buying groceries today, I heard the lady next door say that there were some strange faces appearing nearby these days."

After hearing what Chiaki said, Matsumoto Tomoko recalled what happened during the day and began to feel a little worried.

"how come..."

Chiaki Hoshino quickly put the phone to her ear and called her sister.

But the next second, familiar electronic music came from outside the door not far away.

"It's my sister who's back."

She quickly ran over and opened the door.

"What's the matter, Qianqiu? Why are you calling me?"

Chie Hoshino stood in front of the door, looking at the phone screen in confusion.

"Because it's a little late, I'm a little worried."

Chiaki Hoshino said to her in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Eh? Didn't I send you a message saying I would have to work overtime today..."

"Wow, what a nice smell..."

Before Chie Hoshino could finish her words, she was attracted by the smell in the room.

The door slammed shut, and then a pink shadow rushed past.

Chie Hoshino ran at a speed that just didn't raise any dust, and at the last minute she slipped into the living room filled with the aroma of miso soup and omelettes, her long brown hair floating softly due to inertia.

"We are worried about you, Chie. Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Matsumoto Tomoko spoke to her gently.

"Haha, thank you Sister Tomoko, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Wow, is this plum cold noodles? I hope it won't fall apart."

Chie Hoshino's eyes lit up as she looked at the delicious food in front of her.

"It might have happened if it was a few minutes later, but it's still within the safe range now."

The lady looked at her impatient look and smiled softly.

"Great, now I have to make good use of the golden time to enjoy it."

"I'm going to start!"

Chie Hoshino said excitedly, and Chiaki returned to sit next to her sister, and then they all put their hands together.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Chie."

Looking at her wolfing down the food, and thinking about what Chiaki Hoshino had just said, Ginjo's tone softened when he spoke to her.

"Um...Sousuke...what's wrong with you today...why are you saying such cheesy things to me..."

Chie Hoshino's small mouth was filled with food, and her words were unclear. She looked at Ginjo Sosuke with a somewhat surprised look...

Chapter 176 Helping My Wife

"Hey, what do you mean by corny? Do you know what this word means?"

Ginjo Sousuke originally wanted to praise her a few words, but he instantly returned to his usual speechless state.

"Well... that's right. If it were any other time, Sousuke would definitely say that I have terrible table manners when eating."

Chie Hoshino kept waving the chopsticks in her hand.

"What do you mean by thank you for your hard work today? It's already very corny, okay? Look, I have goosebumps..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her fair arms in front of Ginjo.

"Put it away quickly. I don't know where all the nutrients you eat all day have gone. Anyway, none of the nutrients have flowed to your brain."

Ginjo said coldly.

"That's right, that's what Sosuke would say, haha."

She was not used to hearing words of comfort, but seemed to like being teased.

"Besides, don't you know where it's growing? Of course it's growing to the right place."

Chie Hoshino straightened up and decided to speak with facts.

Damn, what an amazing talent.

It was as if there was a radar in Ginjo Sousuke's eyes that was chasing the spherical object, and his gaze involuntarily focused on it.

"Hehe, Sosuke's body is still very honest."

Hoshino Chie nudged Ginjō with her elbow with a smirk on her face.

"Ahem, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat enough, you'll shrink back in no time!"

Ginjo quickly turned his attention elsewhere.

As soon as she comes back, the room becomes lively.

Chiaki Hoshino and Tomoko Matsumoto couldn't help laughing when they saw the two of them quarreling.

"Is this thing in the omelette cod roe, Sister Tomoko?"

Chie Hoshino's attention returned to the delicious dinner.

"It's filled with mentaiko. I put spicy mentaiko made from Alaska pollock roe marinated in sauce."

As soon as the topic of cooking is mentioned, Tomoko Matsumoto immediately becomes interested.

"It's Mentaiko, it's really delicious. I've never tasted this kind of omelette before."

Chie Hoshino took another sip and then showed an expression of enjoyment.

"This method is a specialty of Fukuoka. I asked the owner of the seafood store to bring back the ingredients."

"This kind of mentaiko omelette is a high-end dish. It's usually not included in the cheap set meals in izakayas."

"Usually, the most common type we eat is the omelette with mentaiko mayonnaise, but that has a different flavor too."

"Anyway, as long as you add mentaiko to the dish, you can never go wrong."
