Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Hoshino Chiaki frowned, seemingly not hearing Ginjo's question, and muttered to herself.

"So Qianqiu doesn't know either?"

"Ah, yes, because this is the first time I've seen this group of works. Since Mr. Hojo chose to display them, there must be some special meaning."

This time, Chiaki Hoshino finally heard it and turned her head suddenly.

"Then can Qianqiu tell who is painted here?"

Hojo Kiki's painting style is not very realistic, so it is difficult to recognize the identity of the characters from the side faces in the painting.

One can only roughly make out the white coat and scarf that the woman in the painting is wearing, and the green sweater that the man is wearing.

"I have no idea. Maybe it's just a figment of Hojo-sensei's imagination?"

Chiaki Hoshino shook her head, stopped here, and carefully observed every detail in the painting.

When they were lost in thought for a moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.

"It seems that you are very interested in this group of works."

The two men subconsciously turned their heads and looked back, only to see an elegant lady in a dark blue suit standing there.

"Ah, Mr. Hojo, you're here."

Chiaki Hoshino bowed to her politely.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qianqiu. The exhibition work was successfully completed thanks to your efforts."

Hojo Kisaki revealed a faint smile, and it can be seen that she admired Hoshino Chiaki very much.

"You are too kind to Mr. Hojo. Your guidance is very good."

Although Chiaki Hoshino's answer was a bit polite, it was enough to show her respect for her teacher.

"Mr. Yincheng, we meet again."

Hojo Himiki turned her gaze to Ginjō and extended her hand to him.

"Hello, Mr. Hojo, it's my honor to receive your invitation this time."

Ginjo Sousuke politely shook her hand and replied.

Hojo Himiki did not let go of Ginjo's hand quickly, just like when they first met, but looked him up and down again...

Chapter 507 Ideal Size and Underwear Connoisseur

It seems that Hojo Kisaki is about the same age as Matsumoto Tomoko. Her long, smooth, black hair is tied into a bun, giving her the impression of a capable and strong woman.

The figure is elegant and slender, outlining a charming and charming S-shaped curve.

Perhaps because she stayed indoors for a long time, her skin was so white that it seemed transparent, soft and shiny.

A pair of exquisite frameless glasses rests on the delicate nose, and under the thin lenses, a pair of cold eyes exudes an intellectual light.

The dark blue suit fit her perfectly, worthy of being a famous artist who has her own clothing studio.

Only the bottom button of the shirt is fastened, which makes the fullness under the white shirt inside have a visual impact that is about to burst out.

The hip skirt just covers her thighs, leaving her calves exposed, looking plump and attractive.

The pair of black high heels on her feet elevated her temperament to a higher level.

"Hojo-sensei?"

Although Ginjo Sousuke didn't mind holding hands or doing other things with such a beautiful mature woman, the atmosphere became a little awkward considering that Hoshino Chiaki was still standing aside.

"Ah, sorry Mr. Ginjo, I think I was a little rude, my occupational disease has come back again."

Hojo Himiki may have realized that she had been holding Ginjo Sosuke's hand for too long, so she quickly let go and apologized to him.

Was she really observing Ginjo's figure out of professional sensitivity?

The real answer may only be known by her.

"By the way, when I came in just now, I noticed that you were staring at this set of paintings very intently. Do you have any questions?"

Hojo Himiki cleared her throat and changed the subject.

"Hmm, there's one thing Sosuke and I can't figure out. Why is there one painting missing from this set?"

Hoshino Chiaki and Ginjō looked at each other and asked the question for both of them.

"Well, how should I put it? The inspiration for my creation was a couple I met in real life, but when I was halfway through the painting, I always felt that something was missing."

"Perhaps the relationship between a man and a woman is not that simple. It cannot be clearly described in one or two paintings. And how long can the sweet period of a couple last?"

“So I want to give this series of paintings a suitable ending ten years later. Regardless of whether they are still together ten years later, they will definitely have completely different feelings.”

Hojo Kisaki turned to face the wall where the paintings were displayed and explained the reasons why she did so in a very meaningful manner.

“I see. That’s why this series of works is named “Ten Years Later”.”

“It feels like the paintings themselves grow as I grow.”

Chiaki Hoshino nodded, as if she understood the meaning of what Hojo Kisaki had just said, and her admiration for her increased a little bit.

As for Ginjo Sosuke, he felt that this difficult art was unnecessary and he could not grasp the essence of it at all.

However, he did not make any further comments, but just nodded along with Chiaki Hoshino.

It can't be said that he is pretending to know something he doesn't. It can only be said that he may not be that interested in these art-related things.

"That's what I meant. Qianqiu's comprehension is still so good."

"Mr. Ginjo, have you seen Chiaki's sculptures? They definitely add a lot of color to this exhibition."

Under the guidance of Hojo Kisaki, Ginjo turned the corner and came to another area.

"Qianqiu, why didn't you bring Mr. Ginjo to see the exhibits here first?"

"What we made are just some unnecessary decorations. It is Mr. Hojo's paintings that are the protagonists."

Chiaki Hoshino answered modestly.

"That's not the case. The reason why I asked you students to exhibit your works is to let everyone appreciate your achievements."

"It makes me, as a teacher, happiest that you can create such excellent works."

Hojo Himiki liked to do things with a few of her favorite students, and Hoshino Chiaki was naturally one of them.

She has always tried her best to pass on her lifelong learning to them, and she is deeply proud of it.

"How is it, Mr. Yincheng, are you shocked?"

Hojo Himiki looked at Ginjo and asked in a relaxed manner, while Hoshino Chiaki on the side was a little nervous. It was the first time for her to let Ginjo appreciate her sculpture in such a formal occasion.

In front of Ginjo Sosuke, an exquisite traditional sculpture stood quietly and solemnly.

Although it is only placed in a corner of the art museum, it does not affect its eye-catching aura at all.

This sculpture is made of flawless white marble with a delicate texture and warm luster, just like an orchid blooming in the moonlight, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

The sculpture seems to be of an ancient noblewoman, with a graceful figure, dignified face, and eyes that reveal an otherworldly tranquility and depth.

The folds of the clothes are smooth and layered, and each wrinkle seems to contain traces of wind, light yet solemn.

Especially the part about the fluttering sleeves, which she made vivid with delicate brushstrokes and just the right hollow design, as if one could feel the lightness and elegance when the breeze blows by.

Chiaki Hoshino also performed very well in handling details.

From the meticulous carving of hair to the subtle changes in facial expressions, from the delicate texture of fingertips to the elegant presentation of hand gestures, everything reflects her superb skills.

Especially those eyes, although they are carved from hard marble, they seem to contain endless emotions.

"Oh, yes, it's perfect."

Ginjo Sousuke was so engrossed in watching that he felt a voice lingering in his ears, so he quickly turned around to answer.

Yin Cheng might not be able to understand abstract things for a while, but he could see the power of this traditional realistic sculpture at a glance.

When he first visited the Hoshino sisters' room, he was deeply impressed by Chiaki Hoshino's sculpting skills. He didn't expect her true strength to be so unfathomable.

No wonder she is the most popular among Hojo Kisaki's many students. Any teacher would feel gratified for having taught such an outstanding girl.

On the contrary, Chie Hoshino was terribly afraid of this teacher who could sometimes become very strict.

This shows that even twins do not completely share certain talents.

"Both Hojo-sensei and Chiaki's works are so outstanding. So amazing."

Ginjo's eyes jumped back and forth between the two women. He didn't know the professional way to evaluate works of art, so he could only express his admiration in the most straightforward terms.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ginjo."

"It's not that exaggerated, Sosuke..."

Even though Ginjo was an outsider, the two women still felt a warm feeling rising in their hearts when he praised them so sincerely.

Especially Hoshino Chiaki, she no longer cared that the teacher was still in front of her, and subconsciously took Ginjo's hand and moved closer.

The exhibition hall is not very large, so it doesn’t take much time to browse through it all.

Moreover, the art museum is just an introduction, the main event is still waiting for them.

"It's almost time, how about we go to the studio and take a look?"

"Qianqiu should have greeted Mr. Ginjo before, right?"

Hojo Himiki looked at her watch and asked the two people politely.

"Well, Chiaki has already told me that I was so busy that I didn't contact Hojo-sensei. I'm really sorry."

Yincheng thought again of the business card that she had slipped into his hand when they first met. It must have been quite some time now.

"You are too polite, Mr. Yincheng. I am the one who invited you, so of course I have to choose a time that suits you."

While chatting casually, everyone left the art museum and got into Hojo Kisaki's car.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the three people arrived at an office building that looked to have been built not long ago. Hojo Kisaki's personal studio rented one of the floors.

Compared to Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, the rent in Chiba is more reasonable, and the distance is not too far, so she chose her hometown as her entrepreneurial base.

"Teacher Hojo, you are back. Today's meeting is waiting for you."

As soon as I got off the elevator, a female employee came to greet me.
