Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

If I learn to swim quickly, will there be no reason for me to hug him anymore?

Ah, how can you think like that!

I made the appointment with him just to learn swimming, I can’t just let his efforts and kindness go to waste!

Chiaki Hoshino shook her head, reminding herself not to let her mind wander anymore.

When she was a little more awake, she picked up the phone.

"Hey, hey."

"Ah, Sousuke, it's me."

Ginjo Sousuke quickly answered the phone.

He guessed that Chiaki Hoshino was probably calling to schedule the next swimming practice.

But for such a small matter, can’t we just send a LINE message?

Yincheng felt a little puzzled for a moment.

"What's up, Chiaki?"

"That's the time Sousuke just mentioned for swimming practice. I'll be fine tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow as well. I want to practice more in the few days before the trip."

"Ah, of course, if it's convenient for you..."

"I wonder if this will be too much trouble for Sousuke?"

As soon as Chiaki Hoshino finished speaking, she felt that she had been a little rude.

Influenced by the pink fantasy just now, I called him without thinking carefully.

After all, you are the one who needs help, and the practice issues should be led by the other party.

"Well, it seems like you are very motivated, Chiaki."

"Let me train you comprehensively in the next few days."

Ginjo Sousuke's straightforward and hearty answer instantly dispelled Hoshino Chiaki's worries.

"Yeah, well, see you tomorrow, Sousuke."

Chiaki Hoshino hung up the phone and buried her head under the pillow. For the first time, she felt that she could laugh so happily.

......

Over the next three days, Chiaki Hoshino went to the water park with Sosuke Ginjo to train for more than two hours every day.

And her swimming level is improving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the beginning, he was able to paddle forward on his own, then slowly added arm movements, until he could swim twenty or thirty meters without Ginjo's assistance at all.

After successfully swimming to the other side for the last time, Chiaki Hoshino even jumped onto Ginjo's body excitedly.

This time she definitely did not do it on purpose, but was stimulated by the joy of success and her body moved subconsciously.

Ginjo even lifted her up and spun her around on the water several times. His excitement was no less than that of Chiaki Hoshino herself.

"Does this mean I have learned how to swim, Sosuke?"

Chiaki Hoshino hugged his neck tightly and asked.

"Of course, you can already swim this far. As long as you consolidate your skills, you will become more and more proficient in the future."

Ginjo was now almost face to face with her.

Yincheng could see clearly every drop of water on her flawless white face.

"Thank you, Sousuke."

When Chiaki Hoshino came back to her senses from her excitement, she realized that she was close enough to feel Ginjō's breath.

Smooth and powerful, with a lingering scent of youth and sunshine.

Being held in such strong muscles, Chiaki Hoshino felt dazed for a moment...

"How are you going to thank me, Chiaki?"

Ginjo suddenly asked, uncharacteristically.

"Ah, well, I haven't thought about it yet..."

The sudden question made Chiaki Hoshino a little flustered and she didn't know how to answer.

"Haha, don't be nervous, Chiaki, I'm just kidding you."

"We are neighbors after all, so it's not a big deal to teach you how to swim."

Ginjo reached out and tapped her forehead, smiling.

"Yeah, even if that's the case, I should thank Sousuke."

Chiaki Hoshino's face, which was soaked by water, became a little hot.

"Really? Anyway, don't take it to heart."

"Let's surprise Chie and the others when we get to Okinawa. I'm looking forward to the scene then."

Ginjo slowly let go of his hand, allowing Hoshino Chiaki to stand in the water.

"Would you like to compete with me?"

"Hmm? At my current level?"

"Don't worry, I won't use my full strength, just try your best to catch up."

"Yeah, well, I'll give it a try then."

Chiaki Hoshino looked at the splashing water behind Ginjo, smiled softly, and then jumped into the water...

......

The sun is shining brightly and there is not a cloud in the sky.

Today is excellent weather for traveling.

"We're finally here! The Hawaii I've longed for!"

Chie Hoshino was very excited since early morning and shouted loudly.

"No, it's not Hawaii, it's Okinawa?"

"And you're still at Narita Airport and haven't boarded the plane yet?"

Matsumoto Sachiko complained about her off-topic remarks.

The day to travel to Okinawa finally arrived, and Sosuke Ginjo and his group arrived at Narita Airport.

"Sachiko, thank you for your sharp criticism. I'm very happy that you've grown so much."

Chie Hoshino said to her with a smile.

"Are you a little too excited, Chie?"

Yincheng looked at the two people who seemed to be performing a skit in the airport lobby and said helplessly.

"Of course you have to be happy, right? The most exciting moment of a trip is right before you set off. Wouldn't you feel excited when you're at the airport?"

Chie Hoshino skipped to Ginjō's side.

"That's true, but there's no need to be so exaggerated. Is this your first time on a plane?"

Ginjo asked as he saw how excited she was.

"Yes, yes, it's because it's the first time that you're looking forward to it so much, right?"

Chie Hoshino had a matter-of-fact expression on her face.

In stark contrast to her, Chiaki Hoshino looked a little nervous.

"In that case, this should be Qianqiu's first time, is it okay?"

Ginjo looked at Chiaki Hoshino on the other side and asked with concern.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous."

Chiaki Hoshino gave a bitter smile.

"Well, it's normal to feel nervous the first time. Chie is really special."

Ginjo comforted her gently.

"If you are too nervous, you will get airsick easily. Just relax a little and you will be fine."

"I have some motion sickness medicine prepared here. Would you like to take some first?"

Tomoko Matsumoto heard the conversation between the two and took out motion sickness medicine from a small bag and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Sister Tomoko."

Chiaki Hoshino took the medicine and thanked his wife.

"You'll get used to it once you ride it, it's okay."

"There may be a little discomfort during takeoff and landing, but it will pass quickly."

Tomoko Matsumoto hugged her gently, which made Chiaki Hoshino feel a little relieved.

"Mom, we haven't taken a plane for a long time, right?"

Matsumoto Sachiko seemed to have thought of something and turned around to ask his wife.

"Yeah, how many years has it been since we last took a plane? About ten years?"

"I think it's been that long, to the point where I can barely recall it now."

Tomoko Matsumoto tried hard to recall, but couldn't get a definite answer.

At that time, her family often went out traveling, but after it was just the mother and daughter, it seemed that they no longer had this experience.

"Although I don't remember the exact time, I do remember clearly what you looked like when you were on the plane."

"We didn't reserve a window seat, but you still acted like a spoiled child and insisted on sitting by the window. Luckily, there was a kind person who was willing to exchange seats with you. Do you remember Sachiko?"

When Tomoko Matsumoto recalled her daughter's childhood, a smile appeared on her face.

"It seems to have made an impression."
