Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

After saying this, Kana Kobayakawa let out a long sigh and looked a little tired.

"That's great, congratulations on your promotion, Kana."

"Thank you, Sousuke, but I may be away for a while, so I came here today to say goodbye to you."

"Eh? Is Kana leaving Tokyo?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked in surprise.

"Ah, no...no...look at my brain."

Kana Kobayakawa raised her pink little fist and pretended to knock her head.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, Sousuke."

"I was just arranged by the company to go on a business trip for a few days."

She sighed and didn't seem very excited.

"Because I haven't seen you for several days, I came here tonight to say goodbye to Sousuke."

"I see. Where is Kana going on this business trip?"

"The specific location has not been determined yet. It is said that the plan is to inspect and visit all the outstanding stores in each county."

"How long will it take to go?"

“That’s still unclear for now.”

Kana Kobayakawa gave a bitter smile, looking a little helpless.

"To be honest, Sousuke, even though there's a possibility of a promotion, I'm still a little troubled."

“Once you enter the head office, you are basically stuck with countless tasks.”

"You could say that middle management is about doing an endless amount of chores."

"I have been going to the company for meetings non-stop these days, and I have to sort out materials until very late every day. The huge workload has made me feel a little breathless."

Kana Kobayakawa sighed deeply again.

Ginjo Sousuke now understood why she looked so exhausted.

“It’s always a little bit difficult to adapt to a new position at the beginning.”

"Being picked up by the head office so quickly shows that Kana is very capable at work."

"It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this business trip. Maybe I can take this opportunity to relax."

Ginjo Sousuke tried to enlighten Kobayakawa Kana.

"Huh...it would be nice if it were really like what Sousuke said."

"Ah, actually it's pretty good to just be a small store manager like I am now."

"I'm familiar with my daily work, and I get to see Sosuke every day..."

Kana Kobayakawa looked at Sosuke Ginjo, her eyes filled with a sense of dependence.

"Haha, even if we go to the head office, we can still see each other often. Kana lives next door to me, doesn't she?"

"Didn't I tell you before that my door is always open for Kana?"

"If you have any troubles at work, you can come and talk to me."

"If you are alone, you will inevitably feel too much pressure, so you will always need another person to help you relax."

Ginjo Sousuke could now clearly feel the tremendous pressure she had been under in the past few days.

"Thank you, Sousuke."

Kana Kobayakawa's expression relaxed a little, and her ears turned slightly red.

"That... um..."

Kana Kobayakawa said hesitantly.

"What's wrong Kana?"

"Sousuke...can...can you let me hug you one more time?"

Her voice was particularly delicate, and although she was very shy, she still looked as if she was trying hard to hide her shyness.

Her tone sounded a little apologetic, yet still full of desire.

The next second, Ginjo Sousuke opened his arms with a smile.

Kana Kobayakawa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into Sosuke Ginjo's arms.

The undisguised desire struck my chest directly, and the indescribable embarrassment and shame just now disappeared.

Kana Kobayakawa recalled the hug she had with Ginjo before.

Every time, the boy was like a life-saving straw, giving him a respite from the pressure of life.

She buried her head deeper into that warm and strong chest.

Her hands tightly hugged Ginjo's back, as if she never wanted to let go...

Chapter 42: Mochizuki Haruka is in big trouble

The hug lasted a long time.

Sosuke Ginjo put his arms around Kana Kobayakawa's waist and gently hugged her.

Kobayakawa's breathing gradually became smooth from the rapid breathing at the beginning, and gradually, the breathing of the two people intertwined to form a unique rhythm.

With every passing second, Ginjo could feel Kana Kobayakawa's body relaxing a little.

It seemed as if her stress had slowly dissipated with the boy's tenderness.

Sometimes adults are not as able to withstand stress as children. Who says adults can’t have a vulnerable side?

Ginjo patted Kobayakawa Kana's back gently, as if he was comforting a hurt girl.

Finally, she slowly raised her fair and tender little face with a slightly guilty look.

"I'm sorry, Sosuke. Did this make you feel embarrassed?"

Kana Kobayakawa still feels embarrassed about her somewhat willful behavior.

"Of course not, Kana, are you feeling better now?"

Ginjo Sousuke lowered his head and spoke softly.

Under the bright moonlight, the boy's profile is outlined so perfectly.

The clear eyes and the gentle and heartwarming words made her feel intoxicated.

Kana Kobayakawa was so fascinated by what she saw that it took her a while to come back to her senses.

"I feel much better now. I feel like all the stress from the past few days has been released."

"Thank you, Sousuke."

"Phew...I feel much better now."

Kana Kobayakawa raised her hands high, stretched her body, and then forced a smile to show her good mood.

"Haha, Sosuke is like a psychiatrist. He cured me so quickly."

"Really? Then I'll have to charge you, Kana."

Ginjo joked with her.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely reward Doctor Yincheng handsomely."

Now her smile has become natural and sweet.

"By the way, Sousuke, how have you been these past few days?"

Kana Kobayakawa relaxed and started chatting about something.

"As for me, my days are pretty much the same, but today I helped the water polo club with practice."

"Eh? Water polo? Do universities still have such clubs nowadays?"

"Haha, yes, they do exist, but they are very niche, even more niche than the reptiles that Kana likes."

"Oh, I forgot I accidentally mentioned this to Sousuke before. How embarrassing."

Kana Kobayakawa's face suddenly turned red.

"How could that be? After listening to Kana's story last time, I also looked up a few reptile channels myself. They are indeed very interesting."

"Is what Sosuke said true?"

"of course it's true."

"That's great. In fact, there are reptile exhibitions every year. I just never had the courage to go alone. Maybe I can ask Sousuke to go with me in the future."

"No problem, it's a deal then."

"Yeah, okay, Sousuke."

Kana Kobayakawa smiled brightly, and was completely different from when she first entered the house in the evening.

It was already very late, so we continued chatting for a while. Kana Kobayakawa couldn't stay any longer because she had to prepare for a business trip tomorrow.

"I really enjoy spending time with Sousuke."

"It's a pity that each time is too short. I really hope I can have more free time after returning from a business trip."

Kana Kobayakawa sighed in her heart as she returned to her room.

......

After seeing off Kana Kobayakawa, Ginjo lay back on the bed and opened the system panel to check his daily gains.
