Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Under the palm of his hand covering her mouth, Chie Hoshino's teeth chattered and clicked against each other.

No matter how you look at it, this man who looks like a homeless person is not normal. The aura wrapped around him is as sharp as a knife, yet gives people a sticky feeling.

"I just want money, understand? I hope you know better."

He twisted his lips and spoke in a low voice that Chie Hoshino had never heard before. She could feel the gloom and fear in every word.

He pressed Chie Hoshino against the wall with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled the bag out of her hand and began to rummage through it.

Chie Hoshino tried desperately to twist her body which was stiff with fear, but the restraints did not loosen at all.

Any fighting skills will become useless under the suppression of absolute power.

In desperation, she raised her foot and stepped hard on the man's toes with her heel.

"hiss..."

The next moment, the hand that was controlling her relaxed, and Chie Hoshino took the opportunity to push him away and buy herself some distance.

The flat leather shoes she was wearing were not as destructive as her stilettos, but it seemed to be painful enough. The man began to curse and his face turned red with anger.

Chie Hoshino didn't care about anything else and turned around and started running wildly, but before she took a few steps, her arm was grabbed again.

She tried her best to move forward, but her right hand was firmly grasped, and the two of them seemed to be in a tug-of-war situation.

The bag that the man had just snatched fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.

Chie Hoshino quickly bent down, picked up the alarm and threw it at the man's face.

An alarming sound resounded through the sky, and the oval-shaped self-defense alarm transmitted the distress signal to the surroundings at regular intervals.

"hateful!"

The man stepped on the alarm with almost crazy force, twice, three times, and after several steps, the self-defense alarm stopped sounding.

"how so..."

Chie Hoshino made a hoarse sound from her dry throat.

She really wanted to scream and ask for help from people nearby, but her throat, which was tightened by fear, prevented her from shouting.

Her hands were still being held, and the man's grip was so strong that it was painful for her.

"Do you want to die?"

The man suddenly shouted in her ear, and the impact was so strong that she thought her eardrum was going to burst.

The grabbed arm was pulled closer to the man little by little, and Chie Hoshino struggled desperately by shaking her head.

Seeing that she was about to be pulled back by the man, Chie Hoshino bit his arm hard.

"what!"

The man felt pain and immediately pushed her away.

With a "bang", Chie Hoshino's back hit the hard concrete brick wall heavily.

The man wiped the blood off his arm, and Chie Hoshino seized the opportunity to run forward again.

So scary! I don’t know what I’ll face if I’m caught by him again.

Chie Hoshino rubbed her blurred eyes and swung her feet desperately.

Help!

Who come quickly!

help me!

Chie Hoshino finally began to shout desperately.

Although she was completely silent, she was still calling for help with all her might.

"Chiaki, Sister Tomoko..."

The sound poured out unconsciously, and at the same time, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Sosuke..."

Chie Hoshino asks for help from the only reliable man in her life!

Even though she always teases and pokes fun at him, Chie Hoshino still selfishly wants to ask him for help.

"Zong...Zongsuke..."

The sound was almost gone, she couldn't breathe properly, only a strange "whooshing" sound came out of her throat.

My heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it would burst through my chest in the next second.

The footsteps of the middle-aged man were following closely behind her, and Chie Hoshino had already realized that she would be caught by him.

Endless despair came over her...

At this moment...

"Chie!"

A familiar voice called out.

Then, a vague sound like kicking a sandbag sounded behind her...

Chapter 181 The Other Side of Chie Hoshino

Chie Hoshino turned her head tremblingly, and Sousuke Ginjo appeared before her like a savior.

His breathing was rapid, his shoulders were heaving violently, and his face was filled with anger that could not be greater than this.

He was completely different from his usual gentle and easy-going self, and now his expression was filled with rage.

One kick, two kicks...the sound like kicking a sandbag continued.

Ginjo bit his lips tightly, while the sloppy middle-aged man fell a little further away, holding his stomach and howling in pain.

After venting his anger, Ginjo quickly turned around, rushed over with a sad and pitying expression, and hugged Hoshino Chie tightly.

"Are you okay, Chie?"

In Ginjo's most reassuring embrace, Chie Hoshino nodded with a trembling body.

"Zong...Zongsuke..."

Her vision began to blur and tears flowed from her eyes like a dam breaking.

"It's okay now, Chie, I'm here."

The blood began to flow again through my back as he comforted me, and my body, which had turned cold due to tension, slowly warmed up.

Chie Hoshino felt her face was burning, and her nose and throat were in great pain, and sobs came out naturally.

Ginjo Sosuke took out his cell phone and immediately called the police.

After a few minutes, the man lying on the ground slowly stood up, his expression a mixture of anger, anxiety and shame.

"hateful!"

He yelled through gritted teeth, then covered his stomach and turned around to run away, but he stumbled only a few steps before he was bumped into by the police who had responded to the call.

After arresting the criminal, the police briefly asked Chie Hoshino some questions about what happened and then let her go home.

The quietly standing street lights illuminate the dim road. It is clearly the only route to go home every day, but today it makes Chie Hoshino feel extremely terrified.

When she thought of what had just happened, fear spread throughout her body again. She began to tremble constantly, cold sweat ran down her cheeks and back, and her hands shook uncontrollably.

The few minutes before Ginjo appeared seemed endless to her.

Chie Hoshino now collapsed on the ground with her whole body weak, sweat beads on her forehead and her legs shaking.

"Chie?"

The voice that came out of nowhere made her look up subconsciously. Yincheng looked down at her with a worried expression on his face.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Ginjo took out a tissue, squatted in front of Chie Hoshino and wiped her forehead. The gentle strength of his hand made her nose sore again.

"Sosuke..."

Perhaps she finally came out of the nightmare just now, and big tears rolled down from her eyes.

This look made Yincheng hug her tighter.

Her vision blurred and the sobs caught in her throat. Chie Hoshino rubbed her eyes desperately to stop the tears, but the tears continued to flow, as if she didn't know how to stop.

After a few minutes, the crying seemed to subside a little.

"Chie, let's go back to the apartment first. Can you stand up?"

Ginjo asked gently as he wiped away the remaining tears from her eyes.

Chie Hoshino nodded and tried to exert force, but found that she couldn't stand up at all. No matter how much she wanted to control herself, her legs kept shaking.

"Well... it doesn't seem possible... how about waiting for me a little longer... Sosuke..."

Chie Hoshino said in a low voice embarrassedly.

Ginjo took out his cell phone and called Chiaki Hoshino, telling her that he had received a call from Chie and was on his way back.

This would at least give some peace of mind to the two people who were anxiously waiting at home. Of course, he did not mention Chie Hoshino's distress on the phone.

Putting his phone back into his pocket, Ginjo stood in front of Chie Hoshino and squatted slightly to make sure he was at the same height as her.

Ginjo gently held her arms with both hands and placed them on his shoulders.

"Come up."

Ginjo said gently.

"Eh???"

"Um...Sousuke..."

Chie Hoshino didn't react for a moment.

"Can you walk home by yourself? You can't, right? So don't worry about it, just let me carry you back."

"Chiaki and Sister Tomoko have been worried about you."
