Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

In addition to this reason, Ito Rieko herself doesn't really like the feeling of being bound by a family.

So even when two people have time to meet, they usually go to an izakaya to have a few drinks and relax.

"Well, it seems that I really underestimated Lijiangzi."

As Mochizuki Yao spoke, he picked up a large piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

"By the way, Riko, haven't you told Xiaoyao about the other gift we prepared for her?"

Utada Ruri seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked Ito Rieko beside her.

"Of course I did. Now I'm just waiting to open the package for her after dinner."

Ito Rieko's tone sounded very excited, and she kept glancing at Ginjō out of the corner of her eyes.

"Hmm? Any more gifts for Xiaoyao? What will it be?"

Ginjo Sousuke asked curiously.

"Well...Sousuke will know it later..."

Mochizuki Haruka spoke vaguely, and her fragrant feet under the table subconsciously wrapped around Ginjo's legs...

Chapter 494 The Most Effective Aphrodisiac

On a windless and cloudless midsummer night, the sky is as clear and deep as a washed Tahitian black pearl.

There was not a trace of cloud to block the view, and the stars were dotted in the vast sky, shining with charming light.

The moon also appeared exceptionally bright and round, hanging in the center of the night sky, gently casting its silver light and covering the world with a soft veil.

The breeze blows gently, carrying the remaining warmth of the daytime sun, yet still retaining the coolness and comfort of the night.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Mochizuki Haruka subconsciously stretched out her beautiful feet, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

She gently, almost carefully, slowly slid her toes towards Ginjo Sousuke's calf.

The movement was so subtle that the other two women at the table hardly noticed it.

Mochizuki Haruka's heartbeat accelerated with every slight touch of her toes, as if they were having a silent conversation, sending sweet signals that only she and Ginjo could understand.

Of course, Ginjo Sousuke felt her little movement. He was slightly stunned at first, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This kind of stealing the fragrance of Nanyue in front of everyone is always more exciting than usual.

He did not respond directly, but used the same method, gently entwining his toes with hers, just as the two of them did every time in bed.

"That's right, that's right. After Sosuke checks the gifts, don't forget to thank me and Sister Liuli."

Ito Rieko, who was sitting next to Ginjō, looked at Mochizuki Haruka's shy look and couldn't help but join in the conversation.

"Hmm? I'm the one who has to express my gratitude for the gift I gave to Xiaoyao?"

Ginjo asked her without changing his expression while he was cuddling with Mochizuki Haruka under the table.

"Hehe, of course. Although it is indeed a gift for Xiaoyao, you two will be the ones who are satisfied in the end."

"Isn't that right, Sister Liuli?"

Ito Rieko was still in the excited state that started in the bathroom, and turned her head to look at Utada Ruri beside her.

"Well, I did plan to give it to Xiaoyao sister at first, but after hearing what Lijiangzi said, it does make sense."

Utada Ruri smiled and nodded, apparently agreeing with what Ito Rieko said.

"In that case, I'd like to thank you both in advance for preparing such a surprise dinner and giving you extra gifts."

From the women's mysterious words, Ginjo had probably guessed the direction of the gift.

Is it something that both of them will be satisfied with? Considering how delicate and timid Mochizuki is now, it is probably related to what will happen in the bedroom.

"No, no, we should thank Sosuke and Haruka-chan. Today's set of promotional photos is so outstanding. I watched them over and over again this afternoon."

There was a hint of aftertaste in Utada Ruri's expression while she spoke.

"Really? Come to think of it, I haven't seen the finished product yet..."

Mochizuki Haruka was intrigued and stopped moving her toes.

"Oh, it's all your fault that Lijiangzi made a fuss as soon as you came in. How could you forget such an important thing? I'll get it for you now."

Utada Ruri patted her forehead lightly, stood up from the chair and walked towards the living room.

"It was Sister Liuli who said that I should wait for you to open the door and then go to the entrance to greet you, because that would be more ceremonial, but now you are blaming me."

Ito Rieko curled her lips and muttered softly.

After a while, Utada Ruri came back with a bag full of photos and posters.

"Because I thought the effect was so good, I printed out a lot of photos from every angle, and gave them to Xiaoyao and Sosuke."

Utada Ruri selected some of them and handed them to Mochizuki Haruka and Ginjō.

"Eh? Sosuke looks so handsome like a star on the cover of a magazine."

It was the first time that Mochizuki Haruka saw Ginjo appear in such a formal image in a promotional photo. She completely ignored the gazes of the other two women and couldn't help but blurt out this.

The hairstyle design is undoubtedly the core highlight of this set of promotional photos. Utada Ruri tailored this avant-garde yet practical hairstyle for Ginjo based on his face shape, temperament and clothing style.

The neat short hair in a modern and simple style is carefully trimmed, blown and styled to show the ultimate layering and flow.

In addition to the hair design itself, her photography skills are equally excellent. She cleverly captured every moment and created a light and shadow effect that is both bright and soft.

Under the lens, Ginjo Sosuke's hair seems to be given life, showing unparalleled dynamic beauty, perfect details and ultimate overall effect.

"You don't have to shout so loudly, Xiaoyao. We all know your boyfriend is handsome, but this will be very irritating for two single women like us."

Ito Rieko looked at her intoxicated look and couldn't help but teasing her.

"It's normal for Xiaoyao to be excited. If I had a date like this, I'd probably be even more excited than her."

Utada Ruri smiled and tried to excuse Mochizuki Haruka, but her eyes always fell on Ginjō intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah, well, I think I got a little too excited."

After they said this, Mochizuki Haruka finally realized this and quickly restrained her expression, her cheeks turning red.

"This is all thanks to Miss Liuli's technique. I just sat there and did nothing."

Ginjo picked up the photo and took a look at it, and indeed felt that the effect was quite good, but he still politely attributed it all to Utada Ruri.

"That's not true. There are countless hairdressers of my level, but hair models like Sousuke are rare."

Although Utada Ruri's original intention in finding Ginjo to take these promotional photos was to develop the boys' market, I believe that if these photos are posted, there will be many girls stopping at the door of the store.

It is said that men are visual animals, but she thinks women are no worse than men in this respect.

When they see a handsome guy, they want to take a few more glances at him, and the bolder ones will even go up and chat with him. Women have become more and more proactive in this matter.

So it’s no wonder that Yincheng is always surrounded by beautiful women. His perfect looks and strong physique are the best aphrodisiacs for women.

"Sister Liuli's technique is very good, and Sousuke is also very handsome. Xiaoyao is a lucky woman, and I am the only unlucky one."

"You can postpone your bragging party for a while. The food is getting cold."

Ito Rieko didn't know what she was thinking about, and said it in a self-deprecating manner.

"That's not the case. Li Jiangzi is talking nonsense again. Oh, right, how can we be so happy without wine? I'll go to the convenience store to buy some now."

Mochizuki Haruka seemed to feel that she had neglected her friend, so she quickly stood up and spoke.

"I've thought of that kind of thing a long time ago. What do you think this is?"

Ito Rieko turned around and went to the kitchen to get a can of beer and a few bottles of sake, and then went to the refrigerator to take out a large bucket of ice. She was so skilled at the whole process as if it was her own home.

"Eh? Did Lijiangzi prepare everything in advance?"

Mochizuki Haruka stood there in a daze for a moment, then reacted and took out four empty cups and placed them on the table.

"Of course, that's how it's supposed to be a party."

Ito Rieko's expression relaxed a lot, and she looked like she was going to get drunk.

"Lijiangzi is right. If we delay any longer, the food will get cold. Let's eat and drink at the same time."

Utada Ruri was not idle either. She opened the bottle of wine neatly and filled every glass in front of her with wine.

"Well, let's have a toast together!"

Ginjo Sousuke raised his glass first, and the three women moved closer to him consciously. The crisp sound of glass colliding soon filled the room.

A few people returned to their seats and continued to enjoy the food. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the Japanese dinner they made also included Ginjo’s favorite omelette.

Moreover, the seasoning of the omelette made by Utada Ruri was just what Ginjo liked.

Enticed by the appetizing golden color, Ginjo took a small bite and the rich flavor of the broth came to his tongue.

There are various factions of omelets, such as adding sugar or putting nothing but salt, and Yincheng’s favorite is the omelet with a slightly sweet taste added with soup stock.

The subtle and gentle sweetness should be the flavor brought out by the broth after being stewed for a long time.

The amount of broth may not be very large, but the lingering sweetness adds depth to the whole dish.

"good to eat!"

Ginjo Sousuke sighed to himself, then took another big bite.

Well, the heat is adjusted just right.

He slowly chewed the omelette that was full of broth and had a fresh taste, quietly enjoying this simple yet luxurious delicacy.

Ginjō was happily eating his meal while thinking to himself, “Maybe I can compete with Tomoko-san,” which might be rude to his wife who wasn’t there.

Then he noticed that Utada Ruri seemed to be staring at him.

"Sousuke looks like he's enjoying his meal."

"Yes, because it's really delicious, I feel this way unconsciously."

"That's right~"

Even if the food is delicious, the cook will feel uneasy and concerned if it is not expressed through facial expression.

Even if you say something is delicious with a straight face, sometimes people will doubt whether it is true.

Instead of that, it is better to show your feelings frankly on your face. No matter whether you are thanking or being thanked, everyone likes to be in a good mood.
