My fiancée Yukino

"Well, isn't the decision supposed to be made at the class meeting tomorrow morning? And they'll decide on the performance then too; maybe the class performance will suit you better?"

“A class performance…” Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino, “Yukino, what kind of performance is your class planning?”

Yukino shook her head and said, "There are two options at the moment: a snack shop or a haunted house. We haven't decided yet."

"The snack shops and the haunted house are both quite interesting!"

Yui said happily, "There's this event right at the start of the semester, and then there's the sports festival and the school trip. There are so many events in the second semester of my second year of high school!"

There are indeed quite a few events scheduled for the second half of the year.

However, when the topic of school trips came up, Mai's face showed a hint of regret as she applied.

"I missed the school trip last year because I was filming a TV series. I really wanted to go. But this is the only chance you get in high school, and if you miss it, it's gone forever."

"You didn't make it?"

Luo Bai looked at Mai in surprise, "Where was our school trip last year? I think it's Kyoto this year?"

Mai nodded: "Last year it was Nara, and this year it is Kyoto. Sobu High School's school trip usually goes to three places: Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara, which are rotated every year. My students from the previous year went to Tokyo."

“Nara Prefecture is indeed a great place, with lots of fun things to do.” Taking Mai’s hand, Luo Bai said with a smile, “We missed the school trip last time, so how about we go together this time? How about we take a short leave of absence using work as an excuse? Consider it a break from studying for exams.”

"Want to go play together?"

Mai's eyes lit up.

Mai wouldn't be that interested in a school trip for her own grade, since she doesn't have many close friends there, and Luo Bai and the others aren't there either.

However, this time it's not impossible.

"I'll think about it! By the way, could we invite Shinobu and the others to come along too? We could all go have fun together. Xia Shi, would you like to go to Kyoto?"

Natsuyo Senju blinked and looked at Yui, who was feeding her snacks.

"Kyoto?"

Yui smiled and said, "That's right, Kyoto is a really nice place! And when autumn is over, the maple leaves will all turn red, it's so beautiful! Let's all go there together then!"

Qian Shou Xia Shi nodded, looking at Luo Bai expectantly.

Luo Bai naturally wouldn't refuse the little guy's request.

"Sure, if you want to go, let's all go together. Although it's a school trip, there should be plenty of free time."

Luo Bai just felt that there might be too many people going.

But it doesn't really matter. There won't be many people in the class who will be doing activities with him anyway. If Mai and the others come along, they'll have more fun.

While eating snacks, Luo Bai asked about the Service Department's activity plan for this semester.

"There are quite a few school activities this semester, so how should we arrange our club activities? Should we do it the same as last semester, where if someone comes to us with a request, we'll first look at the details before deciding whether to accept it?"

Yukino nodded and said, "Yes, let's arrange it this way? Besides, I don't think we'll get many requests."

Volume 1: Chapter 322 Hiratsuka Shizuka's Personal Appointment (2/2)

Today was the first day of school, so naturally no one came to our door. We ate something in the club room, did some homework, and then, seeing that it was almost time, we all left the school together.

As I was going downstairs, I ran into Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was also getting ready to leave work.

Looking at Chishou Natsuyo being led by Luo Bai, Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Oh, this is the child you rescued that day, right? Are you taking care of him now?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, he's staying at our house now. My parents came today because of this child. Xia Shi, this is my homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka-sensei. Say hello."

Chizuki Natsuyo blinked, glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka, and then looked at Luo Bai, asking, "Should I call her 'older sister' or 'auntie'?"

I have to say, you're quite cunning, aren't you?

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuna's indifferent expression, Luo Bai coughed and immediately said to Senju Natsuyo, "Call me 'older sister.' Teacher Hiratsuka is very young; she's not old enough to need to call someone 'auntie.'"

After hearing this, Chizu Natsuyo nodded obediently and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, saying, "Hello, sister, I am Chizu Natsuyo."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction, squatted down and patted Chizu Natsuyo's head, then took out a bag of gummy candies from her bracelet and gave it to her.

"Here, this is my favorite candy. Go ahead and eat it."

Chizu Natsuyo happily accepted it and said thank you.

After opening the package and eating one himself, Chizu Natsuyo also took the initiative to pull Lobo aside and feed him, as well as everyone else present, one of their own.

Chewing on a gummy candy, Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile, "This child is indeed very cute, much cuter than the naughty kids at my relatives' house."

Luo Bai nodded, and as they went downstairs together, he said, "She is indeed very cute, and my parents like her very much too."

"As long as someone takes care of me, I can live a peaceful life from now on."

Hiratsuka Shizuka had no doubt that the Luo Bai family could take good care of the child, and she was very happy about Chishou Natsuyo's future life.

As they reached the school gate, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Luo Bai and asked, "For the upcoming cultural festival, would you like to be an executive committee member or something?"

Luo Bai knew that Hiratsuka Shizuka would ask him about this, so he shook his head and said, "No, I might have to take leave soon and won't have much time to get involved in these things. I'm sorry, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Do you need to ask for leave? Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced thoughtfully at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was walking with Yui Yuigahama, making Hachiman feel a chill run down his spine.

"Um, I can't, really."

Narrowing her eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka sneered, "Is that so? I think it's feasible. Hachiman, you wait and see. I'll go back and consider it. If there's no better candidate, I'll just appoint you directly."

Without waiting for Hachiman Hikigaya's rebuttal, he walked to the parking lot and got into his Aston Martin.

With the engine starting, the car drove out of the school under everyone's watchful eyes.

Luo Bai patted Hachiman Hikigaya on the shoulder and said with emotion, "If nothing unexpected happens, this job will fall to you. It was Hiratsuka-sensei who personally appointed you. Good luck!"

"...I never intended to take this job!"

No matter how much Hachiman Hikigaya wailes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the job of executive committee member will fall to him tomorrow.

Yui Yuigahama patted Hachiman Hikigaya on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll volunteer tomorrow, we can go together, so you don't have to be afraid, Hachiman!"

"...I'm not scared, I just find it troublesome."

With a sigh, Hachiman Hikigaya felt that he might be suffering from insomnia for the next two weeks.

When Luo's mother got home, she was already preparing dinner, and a delicious aroma was wafting from the kitchen.

Taking a sniff of the aroma, Chishou Natsuyo couldn't help but swallow hard.

Seeing the little girl's expression, Luo Bai smiled.

He said, "It smells delicious, doesn't it? Come on, let's go see what delicious food they're making."

Holding Chizu Natsuyo's little hand, Luo Bai pushed open the kitchen door and saw Luo's mother, Kanao, and Kanzaki Aoi busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the door open, Mrs. Luo turned around and said with a smile, "You're back? Xia Shilai, the braised pork is ready. Help me taste it and see how it tastes?"

After saying that, Mama Luo opened the covered casserole, picked out a small piece of braised pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, blew on it, and handed it to Qian Shou Xia Shi's mouth.

Smelling the aroma of braised pork, Chizu Natsuyo's eyes lit up instantly, and she opened her mouth to eat it.

"good to eat!"

Chishou Natsume chewed faster and faster, her little face puffed up, making Luo's mother like her even more.

"Is the saltiness alright?"

"Mmm!" Chishou Natsume swallowed the meat and nodded. "It's delicious, just right, not too salty!"

"That's good."

Patting Qian Shouxia's little head, Luo's mother said, "Alright, go to the living room to rest. Dinner will be ready in a little while."

The two came out of the kitchen and sat down in the living room.

Bao Qianshou and Xia Shi were pulled onto Luo Bai's lap. Luo Bai said with a smile, "I used to have a little chance to sneak a bite before meals, but now it seems that this chance will all fall into your mouth from now on."

At this point, Luo Bai paused and looked at Yukino beside him.

"Yes, we should also add Yukino-neechan."

Chizu Natsuyo nodded while licking her lips, savoring the lingering taste of braised pork.

Twenty minutes later, dinner was ready, and Yang Nai returned home from get off work.

Looking at the braised pork, pork rib soup, and cola chicken wings on the table, Yang Nai said happily, "It's so nice to have delicious food as soon as I get back! Auntie, I'm sorry I couldn't come to pick you up this morning, I had a pretty important meeting to attend."

Luo's mother hugged Yang Nai, who was walking over, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's not like you don't know the way. You can have Ren and the others come over. Your work is important. Okay, everyone sit down and let's eat."

After the meal was served, Luo's mother naturally started serving food to Qian Shouxia Shi as soon as possible. Whenever the little guy's bowl was low, she would add some more food. She didn't need to pick it up herself; she could just focus on eating.

After taking a sip of the pork rib soup, Yang asked curiously, "Where's Erma? She didn't come for dinner today. Is she at the base? Or did she go to see Tohru?"

Mai smiled and said, "I sent her a message after I got back. Erma went to visit Tohru and Kanna today and had dinner at their place."

Luo Bai nodded: "Thor's cooking skills are also quite good."

Volume 1: Chapter 323 The Problem of Changing Residence (1/2)

After dinner, Luo's parents took Qian Shou Xia Shi out for a walk.

Luo Bai, meanwhile, was drinking tea and watching TV on the sofa.

"Yukino, aren't you going out together?"

Yukino shook her head, holding the tablet, and said, "If your aunt and uncle want to take Xia Shi out to play, then let them go. By the way, have you filled out the school preference form?"

"Yeah, I filled it out when I got it at noon." Luo Bai said, flipping through channels with the remote. "What about you? Even though you're applying to Tokyo University, do you need to tell your parents?"

"I've already messaged my mother. She can come when a three-way meeting is needed. There's no need to ask her any more questions about filling out this form."

When it came to the list of schools one wishes to attend, Yukino looked towards Mai's side.

"Mai-nee, did you fill this out when you were in your second year of high school?"

"Yes, there is." Mai nodded and said, "Let me think, I think I filled in that I wanted to be an actress all the time, but now I should change it. I still need to study hard in college. Well, this is just an intention survey, it's not particularly important."

Stretching, Mai stood up.

"Okay, I'm going back to my studies now. I really need to study hard!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll bring you some fruit later."

"Thank you for your hard work, Luo Jun~~"

Mai happily leaned over and kissed Luo Bai, then went back to the next room.

In the apartment, only Luo Bai, Yukino, and Yang Nao remained. Shinobu Kocho had also taken her younger sisters back to supervise their homework.

Yang Nai still hadn't changed into her usual clothes. Instead, she took off her suit jacket, revealing a fitted white shirt underneath. Her legs, encased in black stockings, were draped over Luo Bai's legs as she leisurely lay on the sofa.

"Hey Bai, can you massage my feet for me?"

"No," Luo Bai said without hesitation. "You've been here all day, you smell. Go take a shower first."

"Tch, you're disgusted with me."

Yang Nai pouted, kicked Luo Bai, and then obediently went to her room to get her clothes to take a shower.

Just as Yukino was about to go to the bathroom, Yukino asked, "Sister, where are you sleeping tonight?"

"me?"

Yang Nai paused for a moment, glanced at the guest bedroom that had been converted into Senju Natsume's room, and said with a smile, "Of course I'll sleep in the master bedroom! Otherwise, I won't have anywhere to sleep!"

Yukino originally wanted to suggest that Haruno go to Mai's side, but seeing how shameless Haruno was, Yukino knew that it would be useless even if she said it, so she simply kept quiet.

Seeing that Yukino was speechless, Haruno winked at Luo Bai and then went into the bathroom.

Holding Luo Bai's arm, Yukino whispered, "Now that Xia Shi is staying in the next room, we need to be careful at night."

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, we do need to be careful, mainly because we're living in an apartment now and there aren't enough rooms."

After thinking about it, the villa in Tokyo is still under renovation, and it will be more than a year before they can move in.

"Hmm... Yukino, how about we move and find a couple of villas in Chiba?"

"A villa...that's certainly an option."

Yukino didn't object. After all, there were many people around. Utaha from Tokyo would come over to play on weekends, and Eriri and Hoshino Ai would occasionally come too. If they all came, there definitely wouldn't be enough rooms.
