"Eat more. I'll ask Shindo-Katsu later if there's any way to get to that world. That way, I can collect some special ingredients I've never seen before."

After learning that these ingredients came from the manga world called Toriko, the elders also learned about the various ingredients online, which broadened their horizons considerably.

Now, the elders are very excited about the opportunity to eat the same interesting and special ingredients again.

After dinner, Luo Bai and Xue Nai sat there for a while before saying goodbye to Luo Bai's parents and returning to their apartment.

When I got home, Mai was with Luo Bai. She had already fed the cats and cleaned their litter boxes.

Seeing them return, Mai stood up with a smile and said, "Welcome back. Mitsuri made some sweets again. They're new recipes she learned. There are daifuku and peach shortbread."

They took out the sweets that Mitsuri Kanroji had sent, and Mai had also brewed tea at just the right time, so everyone sat down together to drink tea and have some.

Mrs. Luo also really liked Mai. Right now, she was holding one of them by the hand, with Yukino sitting on her left and Mai sitting on her right, and the three of them were chatting together.

After Luo's mother mentioned that she would be taking Kocho Shinobu and the others back to Japan for a trip in a few days, Mai smiled and said, "As for me, I'll wait until winter to go. I still have some work to do during the summer vacation."

Luo's mother held Mai's hand, nodded, and said, "Don't work too hard. You're still young, so focus on accumulating experience. Your studies are also very important, especially in the entertainment industry. Studying for a few more years will allow you to learn more. Dongda University is a good school, and you can build connections there, which will be beneficial in the future. It won't be any worse than being in the entertainment industry."

Luo's mother also knew about Mai and her mother's relationship and was aware that the mother and daughter barely had any contact now.

After losing Mai's agency contract, Mai's mother stopped staying in Tokyo and went to Kansai to work as a manager at a friend's agency.

Without any apology or attempt to salvage the relationship, it's clear that Mai's mother doesn't think she's done anything wrong, and doesn't even consider Mai her daughter.

After a period of disappointment, Mai finally felt relieved. Anyway, her life was fine now, and she didn't need to worry about those things.

Moreover, Mai is now feeling the long-lost family affection from Luo's mother, and her mood has been very good since yesterday.

After watching TV with Luo's mother for a while, Mai was ready to go back to take a shower and rest.

She was only gone for two minutes before she came back.

Looking at Luo Bai, Mai said with some distress, "Luo-kun, the living room light is broken."

Is the light broken?

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai got up and followed Ma Yi to the next room, where they discovered that the light bulb was indeed broken.

“I have the phone number of the hardware store around here. I’ll ask them if they’re closed.”

When they first moved in, the light in the bedroom was a bit dim, so Luo Bai went to a hardware store and bought a replacement, which is how they got the phone number from that place.

After finding the number and calling to confirm that the shop was still open, Luo Bai said to Mai, "Wait next door for a bit, I'll go buy you a light bulb to replace it."

"Luo Jun, are you going over there?"

Luo Bai pointed to the sky and said with a smile, "Of course it's faster to fly there, and we'll be back in no time."

After saying that, he took off into the air.

Luo Bai was indeed very efficient. He didn't even use a fast pace; the round trip only took five minutes, and he had bought the new light bulbs and returned.

With Mai using her phone for lighting, Luo Bai easily replaced the living room light bulbs.

Seeing Luo Bai land after everything was packed, Mai said happily, "Thank you for your hard work, Luo-kun. It would be really difficult if I lived alone!"

Although she knows how to change light bulbs, it's much more difficult for a girl like her to go out and buy them late at night.

After expressing her gratitude, Mai walked up and hugged Luo Bai tightly, giving her a passionate kiss.

After cuddling for a while, Mai got out of Luo Bai's arms, her face flushed, and looked at him, saying, "Okay, you can go back now. I'm going to take a shower too."

Luo Bai nodded, hugged the girl and kissed her before returning to the next room.

As soon as he got back, he was met with teasing looks from his parents.

Mrs. Luo said with a smile, "It took quite a while to change this light bulb."

"Uh..." Luo Bai coughed, his gaze darting around for a moment before he asked, "Where's Yukino? Did she go back to her room?"

Luo Bai's evasive manner made his parents laugh.

Mrs. Luo said with a smile, "She's in the bathroom. Come and sit down, I have something to tell you."

Luo Bai sat down, picked up his cup, and took a sip: "What's wrong? You're not going to Tokyo tomorrow, are you?"

"Of course I'll go there, but it's for another matter!"

Glaring at her son, Luo's mother said, "Xiaobai, given your current situation, your father and I won't interfere too much. After all, they're all good girls; as long as you treat them well, that's fine. But now that you're in high school here, what are your plans for university after graduation? Will you go back to China or study here?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "Yukino and I have discussed it and plan to go to the University of Tokyo. It shouldn't be difficult for us. Isn't our family company also planning to develop in Tokyo and expand its connections? After I go to Tokyo next year, I can also help with the management. Mom and Dad, you can worry less about the company here in Japan and leave it to me."

Mr. Luo nodded and said with satisfaction, "Well, that's fine, but you should still focus on your studies. You can visit in your spare time. The branch managers we can arrange are all veterans in the company. I personally trained them up from the bottom, so they're very reliable. So, if you plan to study in Tokyo, you'll need to prepare a place to live. Will you still be living in an apartment?"

Mrs. Luo countered, "Let's go with the villa. We can buy a villa then. Mai is planning to apply to a university in Tokyo, right? We can live together then, and Haruno can move in too."

Luo Bai had no problem with this. Although he had made some money in the past few years by strategizing and designating some investment projects in the company, and had also received some dividends from his shares, his parents would not let him pay for the house so soon.

Mr. Luo nodded and said, "Okay, let's go with the villa then. I'll ask around next year, and if there's a suitable one, I'll buy it and start decorating. Once you've been admitted to university, you can move in."

At that moment, Yukino also came out of the bathroom and heard what Rascal said.

"villa?"

After looking at Yukino in the mirror, Luo Bai invited her to sit down next to him and said with a smile, "Yes, we were just talking about where we'll stay after we go to Tokyo."

After thinking for a moment, Yukino said, "Our family's company only has apartment buildings in Tokyo, not villas. But if my mother asks around, we should be able to get a reasonable price."

Mr. Luo waved his hand dismissively: "No need, I can handle this little matter. As for the renovation, we can ask them to help out. The renovation of the villa is very important, so we need to find someone we know."

Seeing that the elders had already made their decision, Yukino didn't say anything more. Buying a villa wasn't a big deal for the Luo Bai family.

The company's development over the past few years has been smooth sailing, with its assets rising rapidly.

Looking at Yukino, Mrs. Luo said, "Yukino, we're going to Tokyo with Shiro tomorrow afternoon, so we won't be able to have dinner with you then."

Yukino smiled and nodded: "It's alright, Auntie. I can go with Shinobu and the others. It's all arranged. You didn't see Utaha yesterday, so you really should go see her."

It was only because it was Shiyu's first time meeting Luo Bai's parents that Yukino would have definitely wanted to go along.

After a while, everyone took turns taking a shower, and then it was time to rest.

In the bedroom, Shi Yu nestled comfortably in Luo Bai's arms, hugging him as she said, "It's Bi Bin's birthday on Thursday, should we get her a cake?"

"A cake? We should definitely prepare one. Tomorrow, Yukino, go to the cake shop and order one after school."

"Okay, then I'll make a reservation tomorrow."

Yukino snuggled against Luo Bai's chest and closed her eyes. "I'm a little sleepy, let's rest."

"Okay, I'll turn off the lights then."

Luo Bai reached out to turn off the light, then, holding the girl, slowly closed his eyes.

.......

On Tuesday afternoon, after finishing her classes, Luo Bai left alone. Her parents came in a company car and picked her up to go to Tokyo together.

Yukino, who stayed at school, thought today would be another relaxing club day, but a little while later, a first-year high school girl came to the Service Club and asked them for help.

As for the content of the request for help, it was related to love.

This surprised Yukino somewhat, while Yui Yuigahama was excited.

Finally, after more than a month, there was another commission. He immediately got up to pour tea for the junior and pulled her aside to ask about the details.

Seeing Yuihama's excited expression, Yukino shook her head slightly and listened from the side.

On Luo Bai's side, the three of them quickly traveled from Chiba to Tokyo by car, and then went all the way to Toyonosaki Academy.

After school, Shi Yu received a message from Luo Bai, but she didn't leave the school. She sat in the classroom for a while, did some homework, and then came out of the teaching building.

As soon as I came down, I saw Eriri changing her shoes and leaving.

"kindness?"

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha came down even later than her, Eriri asked in surprise, "Why are you only coming down now?"

"You should call me senpai, okay? Eriri-senpai."

Eriri glared at Utaha and said irritably, "Urusai, mind your own business! So, you were sleeping in class and got kept after school?"

"Of course that's impossible." After changing into her own shoes, Shiyu smiled and looked at Eriri and said, "Luo-kun will come over to borrow them for me later, so I stayed at school a little longer. I'm meeting his parents today."

"Huh?! You're meeting the parents already? You guys are moving so fast?"

Eriri stared in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.

As for it, he said proudly, "We were supposed to meet on the weekend, but I told my family I couldn't go home too late, so we didn't meet on Sunday and had to wait until today."

Eriri looked at Shiho with a sense of complete unfamiliarity.

"I never expected you to actually find a partner like this, and even meet her parents. It's outrageous."

As they walked out of the teaching building together, Utaha wore an expectant smile: "You can only be envious."

"Pshaw, what's there to envy!"

Volume 1: Chapter 205 Shi Yu Meets Her Elders (2/2)

The two arrived at the school gate together and just then saw a black sedan drive up and stop on the other side of the road.

The car door opened, and Luo Bai got out, waving to Shi Yu who had just left the school gate.

Shi Yu saw it too, and happily waved, saying, "Luo Jun~~~"

Eriri was meeting Shio's boyfriend in real life for the first time, and nodded in surprise: "He's not bad looking."

Shiyu didn't bother to say anything to this stubborn junior, and started walking, saying, "Then I'll be going now. Don't forget to come with me to the publishing house after school on Thursday to discuss the illustrations. Also, I'll treat you to dinner Thursday night. There's another collaboration I'd like to talk to you about."

The collaboration that Shiho mentioned naturally refers to presenting Shinobu's story in the form of a novel or manga, and Eriri is the collaborator she has in mind.

Whether it's a novel or a comic, collaborations require long-term communication, so Shiyu's ideal partner will definitely be female, and currently, Eriri seems to be the most suitable.

Eriri listened, and although she didn't know what it was about, she didn't mind listening since the other party was willing to treat her to a meal.

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, Shi Yu jogged towards Luo Bai.

She originally wanted to throw herself into Luo Bai's arms, but remembering that Luo Bai's parents were also in the car, Shi Yu ultimately restrained herself.

Seeing the girl running towards him, Luo Bai smiled and took her hand, glancing at the blonde girl not far away.

"Is this the junior you were talking about?"

As he asked the question, Luo Bai nodded to Eriri.

This blonde, twin-tailed young lady was quite polite in public, and immediately gave a slight bow in response.

Shiyu nodded and said, "That's right, it's her. But today isn't the right time. I'll introduce you to her next time. Her family is quite well-known in Tokyo, which should be helpful to your company's development."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai smiled and said, "So you're thinking of my family's company? In that case, let's get on the bus first. My parents are waiting."

"kindness!"

Shi Yu, who had already calmed down, immediately became nervous again.

Fortunately, with Luo Bai holding her hand, she was able to control her expression and not be too nervous.

After opening the car door and getting in, Shi Yu met Luo Bai's parents.

Neither of them were the serious type of elders, so Shiyu felt a little more at ease after meeting them.

Come in and sit down. Shiyu put her hands on her knees, sat up straight, and said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Kasumigaoka Shiyu."

Shiyu's appearance and figure still amazed Luo's mother, even after seeing Mai and Shinobu Kocho before. She said with a smile, "Alright, alright, come here, Shiyu, come sit here with Auntie."

As she spoke, she ushered Luo's father to Luo Bai's side, while she herself pulled Shi Yu aside to chat.

Luo Bai knew this would happen, so he let Shi Yu sit down.

Luo Bai took out two bottles of drinks and handed one to Shi Yu. Then, he asked his father, who was standing next to him, "Dad, where should we have dinner?"

"A restaurant that your mom and I went to, it was pretty good, you can look forward to it."

Luo Bai nodded, and then chatted with his father about the development of the branch office in Tokyo.

Luo's mother was chatting with Shi Yu about writing novels. Holding Shi Yu's hand, Luo's mother smiled and said, "I've read a bit of your novel, it's quite good. What made you decide to write light novels?"

Shi Yu blushed slightly and said a little shyly, "Because the academic pressure wasn't so great in my first year of high school, I read a lot of books, and as I read, I got the idea to try writing myself. Coincidentally, the Fushigawa Publishing House was holding a writing competition for new writers at that time, so I wrote some things and participated, and..."
