Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

She blushed slightly and smiled meaningfully.

Then she bent down slightly, peered up at Ginjo from below, and their eyes met.

"Why should I hold back? If I really got emotional, I would carry Xiaoyao into the bedroom without hesitation."

The two of them had already been close bedmates, so Yincheng acted quite calmly.

"No, that won't make it impossible to continue watching the movie."

Although Mochizuki Haruka said this, the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.

"Then let's replace the horror movie with a romantic action movie, so we can watch it while doing it without any delay."

Ginjo Sousuke said to her teasingly.

"Really? I knew it would turn out like this. I don't care. After all, I am your older sister."

Mochizuki Haruka pretended to be indifferent and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Haha, then we should prepare a few more discs so that we can watch them alternately."

Ginjo felt that she must be imagining such a scene, because he saw that Mochizuki Haruka's eyes obviously wandered for a moment.

The two chatted and unknowingly walked to the edge of the pool.

The weather is very good today with few clouds. The sun shines fully on the earth and the pool becomes like a clear mirror.

There was no garbage or floating leaves on the water, and no water birds were resting on it. It seemed as if it was completely still.

The trees on the side are reflected on the water, forming a natural oil painting with great symmetrical beauty.

Ginjo and Mochizuki Haruka also became part of this symmetrical beauty. They seemed to be caught in an illusion, as if they were upside down on the water and were looking at their real selves.

"So beautiful... So beautiful..."

Mochizuki Haruka's admiration was expressed with all her might, while Ginjo said nothing, just quietly looking at the beauty in front of him.

The water surface is dyed green, reflecting the color of the trees and leaves on the side. In autumn, it will reflect the red leaves, right?

The two inverted figures are full of fantasy, as if once they touch the pool, they will enter the world in the mirror like the plot in the movie.

"Sousuke! It's dangerous!!"

Because of these words, Ginjo came to his senses.

No, it wasn't just because of the words. Seeing that he was too close to the pool, Mochizuki Haruka hugged him from behind, so in addition to her voice, there was also the big and soft touch against his back.

Under the double stimulation, Yincheng finally came back to his senses.

"Ah, it's okay. Sorry, sorry. I was so focused on appreciating the beautiful scenery that I didn't notice my feet."

Ginjo steadied himself and looked down, only to find that he was only one step away from stepping into the pool.

"The scenery here is indeed great, so I understand how you feel, but please, Sosuke, don't fall into the water during your date. If you get soaked, I'll be worried..."

Mochizuki Haruka had no intention of letting go and still held his hand tightly against his back.

"Don't worry, even if I get wet, I'll wait until night to go back and let Xiaoyao accompany me."

"Also, there is a more important reason. Xiaoyao reflected on the water is so beautiful that I can't help but be fascinated by her."

Yincheng gently held her hands that were crossed in front of him. They were slender and smooth, like a flawless piece of jade.

"Sousuke... Really... You seem to be getting better and better at making girls happy... You can actually say things like this so easily..."

"But if you want to be obsessed, please be obsessed with the real me, okay?"

After Mochizuki Haruka said these words, she felt as if his heartbeat had merged with her own.

"Actually, I've been infatuated with Xiaoyao for a long time, since the first time I saw you."

The two of them lingered like this for a while, and the reflection on the water turned into a sweet one.

Ginjo pointed the camera of his mobile phone towards the water, and Mochizuki Haruka also stuck her head out from his side. The smiles of the two people reflected on the water were preserved in the album in the form of a photo.

"The effect is really good, it feels like an artistic photo."

Looking at the beautiful upside-down photos taken by Ginjo, Mochizuki Haruka was very satisfied.

"I want to take some photos too, Sosuke, don't leave yet."

She finally let go of Yincheng's hand, took out her cell phone from her bag, leaned on Yincheng's shoulder, and took several more pictures of them.

"Now that we've taken some good photos, let's keep going."

"Yeah, but I have a feeling we'll see other interesting things in this park."

It seemed as if Mochizuki Haruka had already anticipated what would happen next when she said this. During their walk, they saw many wild animals.

"Oh, there's a squirrel, Sosuke! Wow, it's poking its head out of the hole, so cute! Oh, and there's a squirrel eating on a log!"

Mochizuki Haruka shouted excitedly to Ginjo.

"I saw it. These guys are really leisurely. Even if they saw someone coming, they didn't show any intention of running away."

Girls have always had no resistance to these cute little animals. Yincheng was held by her hand and slowly walked over.

"Sousuke, look at those two birds on the water over there, they're so close... are they a couple?"

"One of them has beautiful colors, but the other is a bit dull. Which one is the male?"

Mochizuki Haruka looked at the strange bird, tilted her head and asked a series of questions. Just as Ginjo was about to explain to her, a voice came from an unexpected direction.

"Oh, those two birds you're talking about are mandarin ducks. The brightly colored one is the male, and the duller one is the female."

The two men couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw an old couple sitting on chairs made of wooden stakes, telling them the type of bird.

The couple were holding binoculars in their hands, and seemed to be observing the wild birds here.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so nosy. I often come to this park with my husband to watch birds. Are you two dating?"

"That's great. Seeing you two holding hands in such a harmonious way reminds me of our youth. That's why I couldn't help but make a noise to disturb you."

The couple bowed their heads to apologize to them, and Ginjo and the others bowed politely in return.

"I see, so that's a mandarin duck. This is the first time I've seen one."

Mochizuki Haruka whispered softly, then walked over to the couple and sat on the next wooden stake.

She swung her feet and looked like she wanted to ask a question.

"Excuse me, have you been married for a long time?"

Mochizuki Haruka seemed a little hesitant, but finally made up her mind and asked the old couple this question.

"Well... all in all... we've been together for more than fifty years, right?... How long have you been dating?"

The gray-haired old woman thought for a while and then answered her.

"The two of us? It's only been a few months..."

Mochizuki Haruka said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh my, really? Judging from the way you two seem to be dating, I thought you've been dating for several years."

"That's right. Seeing how close you two are, you're no different from a married couple. Ahahaha!"

The old woman put her hands on her cheeks and looked at them in disbelief, while the grandfather beside her smiled heartily.

'Do we look like a long-term couple?'

Hearing them say this, Mochizuki Haruka felt a tingling sense of joy in her heart.

"Fifty years... That's a really long time... It's twice the length of time my dad and mom were married... How enviable..."

After hearing what the old couple said, Mochizuki Yao was delighted, but she still clasped her hands together, deeply moved by the fact that they had been together for such a long time.

The time was almost up, so they stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, the old couple gave them a sincere advice.

"Young lovers, if you plan to stay together forever, don't forget the feeling of being in love now."

"Everything in this world is mutual, and the same is true between husband and wife. Don't take love for granted, and always cherish each other."

"Just treat these words as the old man's nosy wife and accept them."

After hearing these suggestions, Ginjo Sousuke and Mochizuki Haruka smiled at each other, then bowed their heads to thank them.

The old couple also gave them a gratified smile in return and continued to use the telescope to watch the wild birds in the distance.

Perhaps it was because of their experience of more than fifty years together that made their words sound very convincing.

Mochizuki Haruka seemed to have obtained some treasure. She was in a very good mood and kept shaking the hand that was holding with Ginjo.

Fifty years is still too far away for her. Although she also has such a dream, what she wants to cherish more now is every minute with Yincheng.

She turned her head and looked at the boy beside her, imagining the days of growing old with him.

The shrine is not far away, right? Mochizuki Haruka has already thought about what she will pray for later...

Chapter 374: Portal to the Mysterious World

"The saying 'I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals' refers to them, right?"

"And they happened to be the ones to tell us that those birds were mandarin ducks. Doesn't it feel like fate?"

Wangyue thought of the old couple just now and said with emotion.

"Yes, that's fifty years. It's really rare."

They have no way of fully realizing the weight of years contained in the numbers that they can easily say out loud.

Even so, they can naturally understand the meaning of continuing the relationship from the words that resonate with them.

"Sousuke...if we can...be like that couple...and stay together forever..."

Mochizuki Yao knew that it was too early to say this now, and it would easily give people a feeling that she was forcing them too much, and the other party might also feel an invisible pressure because of it.

But in the end, she couldn't help but speak intermittently.

"Yeah, that's what I think too. I also hope that Xiaoyao can always appear in my life in the future."

Ginjo Sousuke's tone sounded much more determined than hers.

"I see, that's great..."

After feeling relieved, Mochizuki Haruka gave Ginjō a smile that seemed to be tinged with a shadow.
