Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Or is it because there was something wrong with what I just said?

Could it be the sentence "Even if there is a boy who likes you, he will be scared away"?

Natsuka Imai always looks vicious, giving people the impression that she is completely insulated from men.

But as a boy, Yincheng may never understand that girls of this age, no matter their height or appearance, popular or not, will more or less have a desire for love.

Compared to Ginjo's confusion, Shiraishi Lisa was completely different. She immediately came forward to observe Imai Natsuka's reaction.

I saw Natsuka Imai covering her mouth with the back of her hand, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her tanned cheeks.

Her expression seemed to be both angry and happy, a mixture of various complex emotions.

How to put it, Lisa Shiraishi thinks this expression is quite interesting. At least it makes people feel more approachable than her usual fierce look.

"As long as Xia Hua doesn't get angry, she's still very cute. There will definitely be boys who like her."

Lisa Shiraishi comforted her like this.

"Well, you're not that scary..."

Ginjo finally realized that his words might have irritated her, so he quickly followed behind Shiraishi Lisa and echoed her.

"Stop talking nonsense, idiot."

"Who... who asked you to say this..."

After looking at Ginjo embarrassedly, Natsuka Imai immediately turned around and left with Astra.

Was I too aggressive just now?

Why did you take the steel pipe when you knew they were just a few guys with strong exterior but weak interior?

Oh, I won’t really scare all the boys away like Sosuke said, right?

Why did those words come from his mouth?

But then again, he looked so handsome when he helped Lisa out just now...

If I could be with him, would I become a little gentler?

Ah, I'm really going crazy. What on earth am I thinking about?

There was a constant voice talking to herself in Imai Natsuka's mind. It turned out that the topic of love could only be discussed with girls, and that would only be a little embarrassing at best.

But once it comes to boys, things always get complicated...

Ginjo Sosuke? He seems to be a really nice guy...

"What did you two talk about just now in Qingshui?"

Looking at Imai Natsuka's gradually disappearing back, Ginjo curled his lips helplessly.

"That's a secret between girls~"

Lisa Shiraishi had fully recovered from her previous panic. She also looked in the direction where Natsuka Imai left, and then a meaningless smile appeared on her face.

When they were alone, she focused her attention back on Ginjo's face.

This handsome young man was as calm as ever. Even though he was surrounded by several people just now, he did not show even the slightest bit of fear.

In the past, I relied on him for training and competitions in the water polo club, and this is even more so now.

The sense of security that Ginjo Sosuke brought her was truly unmatched.

"Sousuke!"

"Lisa!"

The two people called out to each other at the same time, and their voices overlapped.

"what..."

Their eyes met, and then they laughed at the same time.

"Come on, Lisa, let's go down to the sea and play."

As Ginjo Sousuke spoke, he took Shiraishi Lisa's hand.

"Uh-huh."

Shiraishi Lisa nodded deeply and followed him towards the beach.

The two of them spent the whole day playing on the coast of Midorikawa.

We competed in swimming, rode a speedboat, played beach volleyball, basked in the sun, and ate fried noodles...

They tried almost all the classic seaside travel activities. Just when the two were about to take a break, something on the beach suddenly became lively.

"When you come to the beach to play, you must hit the watermelon! Gather together, boys and girls!"

Under the bright sun, the person holding the microphone and making the loud declaration was a passionate young lady wearing a swimsuit with a banner slung across her chest.

This person was probably a local tourism ambassador or some other publicity staff. She was holding a big watermelon that she got from somewhere.

Upon hearing the news, young people who were eager to try came towards her.

Ginjo Sousuke and Shiraishi Lisa exchanged glances, then stood up and walked over.

Such a scene has appeared in many animations or film and television dramas, where a group of people put a watermelon on the beach at the seaside, blindfold the chosen person, and spin around in circles a few times.

Then he would hold a long wooden stick and, at the prompting of people around him, beat the watermelon hard. He would win as long as he broke the watermelon.

Of course, watermelons are hard and the sticks are heavy, so not everyone can successfully complete the process of hitting the watermelon. Also, it is quite troublesome to clean up after the watermelon is broken.

Therefore, merchants have also launched a variety of simple and safe props for hitting watermelons, such as the most commonly used inflatable stick.

The cloth strips used to cover the eyes can also be replaced by sleep masks.

This way, both adults and children can easily participate.

This can be considered a very popular activity in the summer in Japan and is also known as one of the summer's scenic spots.

The participants who gathered together took out slips of paper with numbers written on them from a large box one after another.

"Okay, let's start the lucky draw. Let's see which lucky person gets the chance to challenge this round of the watermelon-hitting activity!"

The publicity lady standing on the stage used the microphone to loudly stir up the atmosphere.

"3, 2, 1! The answer is revealed!"

"The winner of this round is - No. 69!"

"Whoever has the slip of paper with the number 69 in his hand, please come to the stage."

Everyone in the audience checked their numbers one by one, then shook their heads or sighed in disappointment, except for one person.

"Sousuke, it seems that I was the one who was drawn."

Shiraishi Lisa seemed unable to believe her eyes, and carefully handed the note in her hand to Ginjo.

"Eh? Are you so lucky?"

Yincheng saw the familiar number and confirmed that she was the winner.

"Number 69! Is the person with number 69 here?"

The enthusiastic lady held the microphone and looked around the tourists in the audience.

"it's here!"

Seeing Ginjo nod to her, Shiraishi Lisa let out a long sigh and raised her arms high.

The intense panting and flushed cheeks, the sweat beads running down the exposed chest after exercise, and the glistening sand attached to the white thighs...

Now Lisa Shiraishi is undoubtedly the brightest star on the beach.

The energetic host walked off the stage amid everyone's gazes and strode towards Lisa Shiraishi.

"What is your name?"

"I'm Shiraishi from Tokyo."

"Ms. Shiraishi, you should know the rules of playing watermelon, right?"

"Yes."

"Very good, then we will start now~"

The host covered Lisa Shiraishi's eyes with a blindfold and then handed her the prepared inflatable stick.

After she had a firm grip, she began to clap her hands and encourage the tourists to count down.

"Make sure you turn it 5 times~"

"Okay! Start! Turn! Turn! Turn!"

Lisa Shiraishi started spinning in circles in time with everyone's clapping.

“5、4、3、2、1！STOP！”

The host clapped his hands vigorously, making an extremely loud sound, signaling her to stop spinning.

“Ah wow, wow wow wow…”

As expected, after turning too many times, Lisa Shiraishi completely lost her sense of balance and couldn't even stand steadily.

She swayed to the right, then staggered to the left, but even though she was standing on one foot, she managed to hold on and not fall.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers exclaimed “Oh my!” in unison.

“Here!”

Lisa Shiraishi swung the stick down unsteadily, but she hit the wrong spot, where there was only sand.

Listening to the chaotic instructions from the people around her, she continued to stagger forward.

"This way, this way!"

She once again relied on her hearing to determine the direction and swung the stick in her hand.

"Oh, just a little bit."

From time to time, anxious noises could be heard from the crowd.

"It's about two steps to the left!"

Ginjō's loud voice penetrated the noisy noise and rushed directly into Shiraishi Lisa's ears.
