My fiancée Yukino

After making a comment, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said, "Then you'll be in charge of our lunch, Yukino. I'll go teach the kids how to make curry. Komachi, Yuihama, you two come and help Yukino, so don't bother with that."

Then, he looked towards Ye Shan's direction.

"Do you cook your own lunch or what?"

Hayama had just been told about the little girls by Miura Yumiko and hadn't quite recovered yet, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, we can do it ourselves."

"Fine, then I won't do it for you."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Bai took Shi Yu and Ma Yi to help the children.

Ye Shan originally wanted to discuss the matter of those little girls with Luo Bai, but just as he was about to go over, the four isolated little girls came over and surrounded him.

"Big brother, please teach us how to cook!"

Seeing the little girls' excited expressions, Hayato Hayama had no choice but to retract his earlier thoughts and nod in agreement.

Luo Bai and his team split up to help the elementary school students prepare curry for lunch. It wasn't difficult at all; it was just a matter of washing the ingredients, cutting them into pieces, and cooking them.

The rice is also prepared by the resort, so you don't need to cook it yourself.

Half an hour later, things went smoothly in some places and ran into trouble in others, but thankfully, everything turned out alright and everyone finished making the curry, so it was time to start lunch.

After glancing at the little girl who was sitting alone and not involved in making lunch, Luo Bai said something to Xue Nai and walked over to her.

"It's already noon, aren't you hungry at all?"

Upon hearing the voice, the little girl looked up, but when she realized it wasn't the older boy from before, she looked down again and fiddled with her camera.

Luo Bai wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "No matter what happens, your stomach is the most important thing. Don't let your stomach suffer. Come on, we've made a lot of curry here, let's eat together."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his own table.

Seeing Luo Bai's decisive action, the little girl pursed her lips, but in the end, she followed him.

Yuihama, who was setting the table, saw the little girl coming over and said happily, "Come and sit down quickly, dinner will be served soon!"

Mai also came over and poured her a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

"Here you go, freshly squeezed orange juice."

"Thank you."

The little girl whispered her thanks, picked up the cup and took a sip, while carefully observing Mai.

She had already recognized Mai's identity and was very curious.

Mai smiled at her, then turned to Yukino, who was carrying a pot of rice, and said, "Yukino, this child really does look like a miniature version of you!"

After putting the rice pot down, Yukino and the little girl exchanged a glance.

You know what, they do look somewhat alike.

The others also helped the elementary school students prepare lunch and returned to this side; it was time to eat.

After serving the rice, Luo Bai helped Yukino pour the curry from the pot over everyone's rice.

Looking at the steaming plate of curry rice, Yui exclaimed happily, "Wow! It looks delicious!"

Holding a large spoon, Luo Bai poured curry over the little girl's rice and said, "There's more if you're not satisfied, don't be shy."

Hayama and his group were also sitting at this long table, but their curry was a bit inferior.

Seeing that Luo Bai had brought the child over, Hayama Hayato felt relieved, but he also felt that this was not a good thing.

However, seeing the little girl immediately pick up the spoon and start eating, he didn't say anything more.

Dinner was served, and everyone relaxed and ate.

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally reappeared, sitting down next to Yukino. She took off her sunglasses and served herself a lot of rice and curry.

"Yes, it's well done. It's just a pity that the ingredients were limited, otherwise I could have eaten other dishes made by Yukino."

After taking a bite of rice, Yukino calmly said, "Hiratsuka-sensei, if you want to freeload a meal, you can come over. We should all be at home in July."

Then, she looked at Luo Bai.

"Is your sister coming over for lunch?"

"They're here," Luo Bai nodded and said. "They're on their way, in about ten minutes. If there's not enough for lunch, that's fine, I'll make her more."

Yuihama, while eating her curry rice, asked curiously, "Is Haruno-neechan only on holiday today?"

"Yes, she only got a day off this morning, and then drove back," Luo Bai said with a smile. "She'll be bored when she gets back and there's no one around, so she just came over. Hiratsuka-sensei, have you considered arranging any work for her?"

"kindness?"

While they were eating, Hiratsuka Shizuka heard Luo Bai call her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There's nothing important to do. If she wants to come and play, let her come. Just let her help you take care of the elementary school students. Just make sure she doesn't break them."

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka also knows Haruno's personality.

Ten minutes later, Yang Nai finally arrived safely.

Carrying a small bag, Yang Nai happily ran over, hugged Luo Bai from behind, and clung to him.

"Haha, I'm here! This food looks great. Xiaobai, did you save any for me?"

After patting Yang Nai's arm around his neck to loosen her grip a little, Luo Bai said, "There's still some curry left, want some?"

"Xiaobai, did you make this?"

"Yukino made it."

"Eat! But not too much. I ate a lot for breakfast today, so eat less for lunch."

After saying that, she let go of Luo Bai and squeezed between him and Yukino.

Then I saw Hayato Hayama and the others sitting on the other side.

"Oh! Hayato, you guys are here too. Shizuka invited quite a few people!"

Hayato Hayama smiled and said, "Long time no see, Haruno-nee. I didn't expect you to come too."

"Hehe, I can't go home alone, so I came here instead."

As he spoke, Luo Bai served Yang Nai a bowl of curry rice.

"I'm starting!"

While eating, Yang Nai also noticed the only little one sitting at the table.

"kindness?"

With her mouth stuffed full of curry rice, Yang Nai chewed while curiously looking at the little girl.

"Who is this child?"

Luo Bai poured Yang Nai some more juice and explained, "Since no one was playing with her, I brought her along to eat with us. Doesn't that remind you a bit of Yukino when she was little?"

Yang Nai nodded, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes: "Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like you. Little sister, what's your name?"

Upon meeting Yang Nai's gaze, the little girl lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Tsurumi Rumi..."

"Little Chinese girl, so cute!"

Yang narrowed his eyes and then gently nudged Luo Bai's shoulder.

Luo Bai naturally understood Yang Nai's meaning. He glanced around briefly, then looked at Tsurumi Rumi before continuing to eat his curry.

Yang Nai understood then that it wasn't appropriate to say it directly, so she stopped asking and focused on eating her lunch.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they cleaned up the dishes, rested for a while, and then the afternoon activities continued.

Since the afternoon activities were all indoors, Luo Bai and the others didn't need to stay with them anymore. With the teachers leading the way, they could take a short rest.

After putting her luggage in her room, Yang Nai came over to Luo Bai and asked everyone, "So, what exactly happened to that little girl?"

"Why don't you just ask the person involved?"

Luo Bai raised his chin, and everyone saw Tsurumi Rumi walking out of the building alone.

Yuihama immediately waved her hand and said, "Rumi, come here!"

After seeing everyone, Rumi Tsurumi hesitated for a few seconds before finally deciding to come over.

Before Tsurumi Rumi could even stand still, Haruno walked over and scooped the little girl into her arms.

"Mmm, she really does look like Yukino when she was little. It feels like I've gone back to the past. I'm going to rub against her!"

Rumi Tsurumi was startled by Haruno's actions and stood motionless.

Luo Bai smiled helplessly, "Alright, Yang Nai, let her go. You've scared her."

"Sigh... okay."

After letting go of the little girl, Hayama Hayato walked over and asked with a smile, "Rumi, why aren't you playing with everyone?"

After glancing at Hayama Hayato, Tsurumi Rumi didn't speak to him. Instead, she came over to Luo Bai and hid behind him.

Watching the girl's actions, Ebina Hina said with great interest, "Haha, even Hayama's charm has its limitations sometimes, that's quite rare!"

Ye Shan scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

Luo Bai patted the head of the little girl hiding behind him and asked, "So tell me, why did you come out by yourself? Were you being ostracized?"

Luo Bai's words made Tsurumi Rumi lower her head involuntarily.

"It doesn't matter, I won't see them anymore after I graduate from elementary school."

"No, that's not it." Yukino's voice floated over. "Once you enter junior high, they'll most likely still be in the same school as you, unless you leave Chiba and go to school somewhere else, but I think that's impossible. Besides, I don't think they'd ostracize you for no reason, right?"

Tsurumi stopped talking and shrank further behind Luo Bai, directly confirming the truth of Yukino's guess.

It has to be said that these elementary school students are truly amazing. They are so young, yet they are quite adept at using tactics like passive-aggressive behavior and ostracism.

Luo Bai shook her head. To be honest, she really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing; it was a problem that was fundamentally unsolvable.

Volume 1: Chapter 234 Solution? (1/2)

Seeing that Tsurumi Rumi was hesitant to speak in front of everyone, Luo Bai didn't press her further.

"Let's go, Yukino, take the little one outside for a walk."

Yukino nodded, walked over, took Tsurumi Rumi's hand, and followed Luo Bai's steps.

After leaving the resort's base, the three arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they could see the view of the mountains ahead.

Stretching, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Although it's very hot, the scenery here is still quite nice."

Then, she turned to look at Tsurumi Rumi, who was being led by Yukino and hadn't said a word.

"Now it's just the few of us left, aren't you going to tell us? Of course, even if you don't tell us, I can guess what's going on. You're a primary school student, kids these days are much more mature than in the past, they know a lot more, I guess they learned these passive-aggressive and exclusionary things from somewhere and started playing them, right? You probably participated at first, but after going around in circles, it was your turn."

Yukino looked at Tsurumi Rumi and, seeing the child's expression, knew that Luo Bai had guessed correctly.

Yukino felt a slight tightening in the small hand she was holding, and she could tell that Yukino was also feeling bad, but she didn't know how to express it.

After thinking for a moment, Yukino said, "I've been bullied before, and it was much more extreme than what you've experienced. My indoor shoes were hidden more than sixty times, fifty of which were done by girls. Also, I was mostly isolated in middle and high school, but none of that affects me anymore. Judging from your expression, you should know that what you're doing is wrong, right?"

With her lips pursed, Tsurumi Rumi nodded.

"But by the time I realized it, it was too late, because it was already my turn."

"If they know how to regret it, then they're not beyond redemption."

Approaching Tsurumi Rumi, Luo Bai squatted down and looked at her, saying, "I've seen what happened to you girls before. I reckon even if you apologize, it won't have any effect, and your relationships won't be able to go back to what they were before. So, if you're going to continue studying at this school, be prepared to be alone. When you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences, and this is the consequence you'll have to bear."

Looking at Luo Bai, Yukino said, "Is there really no way to solve this?"

Luo Bai stood up, supporting himself on his knees with both hands, and shook his head, saying, "It's not that easy to solve. Didn't Ye Shan try it before? Saying one thing to someone's face and another behind their back isn't something only adults do; even children understand it."

Rumi Tsurumi also said, "It's been a month already. If it was going to be resolved, it would have been resolved long ago."

Now, Yukino was also at a loss for what to do.

After stretching his body, Luo Bai, holding Yukino's hand in one hand and Tsurumi Rumi's hand in the other, said, "Alright, don't think about it so much. You've already experienced the consequences. Just admit your mistake and correct it, and don't do it again. I have a suggestion for you: go back and apologize to them properly. You don't need them to forgive you or not; just apologize sincerely. Then tell them not to do this to others again."

Looking up at Luo Bai, Tsurumi Rumi asked, "Was it useful?"

"Whether it works or not is one thing, whether you do it or not is another," Luo Bai said calmly. "You can't force others to do anything, just express your thoughts. If they still don't change, then let them be. But one thing, if they continue to isolate you, can you remain calm?"
