My fiancée Yukino

Yukino realized she had overthought things and blushed slightly as she said, "I overreacted, I'm sorry. In that case, I accept the bet!"

"Okay, it's a deal then."

Although Luo Bai knew that Yukino was a bit competitive, he really didn't expect that Yukino would kick him out right after dinner.

"I need to study, don't disturb me."

Volume 1: Chapter 31 Late Night Snack (1/2)

Despite being sent back to her apartment by Yukino, Luo Bai wasn't angry. She smiled, lay down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

He wasn't in a hurry about the exam; there was still more than a week to go. He would just flip through the books and do some simple preparation two days before the exam.

I glanced at the clock in the living room; it was seven o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, let's see how seriously Yukino is preparing for her exam. I'll talk to her later and ask her to get me a late-night snack."

Before that, Luo Bai naturally went about his own business, controlling two dumbbells placed in the living room to float up and train his superpowers, while playing games on a handheld console.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Luo Bai put down his handheld console, took a shower, and then rang the doorbell of Yukino's apartment.

The door opened, and Yukino looked at Luo Bai, who appeared in the doorway, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "I'm planning to make some late-night snacks. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"night snack?"

Yukino thought for a moment, realizing she had been studying and was indeed a little tired. "Okay, I'll eat something light. You can just make me something simple."

"How about I make some noodles? What toppings do you want? Vegetables, fried egg, boiled egg, or meat?"

Yukino blinked and said, "No need for meat, just some vegetables and eggs will do. Fried eggs or boiled eggs...?"

Seeing that Yukino was undecided, Luo Bai suggested, "How about I make some tomato and egg noodles? They're sweet and sour, you should like them."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Yukino definitely likes tomato and egg.

"Then I'll get started. You can come over once you're ready."

After saying that, Luo Bai went back to his own place and started preparing a late-night snack.

Yukino went next door after getting some treats for her two cats.

Luo Bai didn't ask Xue Nai to help him cook noodles; he just had her wait in the living room.

After sitting down on the sofa, Yukino saw the handheld game console on the coffee table.

Yukino doesn't play games, but she knows a little about them. After all, Japan is a major country in the ACG industry, and it's unrealistic for young people to be completely ignorant about games and anime.

Yukino picked up the rather large Nintendo Switch and examined it for a while. She then turned on the screen and looked at the various games displayed on it.

"Atelier Ryza 3?"

Upon discovering that this game was at the top, Yukino guessed that Luo Bai had been playing it before, so she clicked on it.

Five minutes later, she was shocked by what she saw.

With those legs and that figure, is this game really a serious game?

"The midnight snack is ready!"

Luo Bai's voice came at just the right time, and he came out carrying two bowls of noodles.

Then, I saw Yukino holding her Nintendo Switch, staring wide-eyed.

"Yukino, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing Luo Bai's voice, Yukino stood up, walked to Luo Bai, and faced him with the Ryza 3 game screen, asking, "You like this?"

"kindness?"

Luo Bai blinked, looking at Ryza in a swimsuit on the screen, and suddenly realized, "Oh~~ so that's why. What, is Yukino jealous? Games are games, and reality is reality. Of course I can tell the difference. If you think I'm not good at playing this, I can stop playing."

Seeing Luo Bai's calm expression, Yukino put down her NS and said, "No, I'm just surprised by the character designs."

"It's not bad."

Luo Bai placed two bowls of noodles on the table, took Yukino's hand and sat down, smiling as he said, "This figure is indeed outrageous in reality, but it's still quite good-looking, isn't it? At least it's much better than some movies and TV series where you can't find many good-looking actors, like Black Mermaid or something."

Yukino naturally understood what Luo Bai meant, and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, that's indeed the case."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."

Inside the bowl is freshly made tomato and egg noodles, with bright red, soft tomato chunks and pieces of egg, all submerged in the broth along with the noodles. It's also garnished with a few chopped green onions, making it look incredibly appetizing.

"Wait a minute, there's something else too."

As she spoke, Luo Bai ran to the kitchen and brought out a teapot and two teacups.

"This flower tea was just brewed. Drink some after you finish eating; it can also help you sleep."

Seeing how well Luo Bai had prepared, Yukino was in an exceptionally good mood, feeling as if she were being cherished.

Yukino picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Luo Bai, saying, "Thank you for preparing so much. Let's start eating."

although

It was just a bowl of noodles, and the taste couldn't possibly be anything extraordinary, but for Yukino at that moment, it was the best thing she had ever eaten.

Half an hour later, the two people who had been eating a bowl of noodles sat on the sofa, holding cups of hot tea in their hands, slowly sipping them.

After taking a sip of her flower tea, Yukino said, "It's time to rest soon. Tomorrow is Monday, and it's my turn to be on duty."

“It’s my turn to be on duty, huh? Then I definitely need to get to school early. Mine is next Wednesday, which is the day of the midterm exams.” Luo Bai nodded. “Then let’s get up early tomorrow morning. I’ll prepare breakfast for you; we’ve already planned that. But I also need to prepare lunch, so you’ll have to go to school by yourself tomorrow. Is that okay?”

Yukino responded and gently leaned on Luo Bai's shoulder.

Ten minutes passed, and the tea in the cup was empty. It was time for Yukino to go back.

After accompanying Yukino to the entrance, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and said, "Then I'll go back. You should get some rest too. Good night."

"Before saying goodnight, Yukino, didn't you say anything?"

Luo Bai smiled and leaned forward, pointing to her lips with her finger.

Yukino knew exactly what Luo Bai was thinking, and blushed as she glared at him.

But considering that Luo Bai was preparing a late-night snack for him, and that he would have to get up early the next day to prepare breakfast and a lunchbox, he didn't have the thought of refusing.

"You...lower yourself a little."

Luo Bai happily moved closer, and before Yukino could react, he took the initiative to embrace the girl and kiss her.

Yukino was unable to break free and could only let Luo Bai bully her like this.

Several minutes later, Luo Bai finally released Yukino, gently stroking her cheek and saying, "Goodnight, Yukino."

Yukino gently kicked Luo Bai's shin and looked at him, saying, "Goodnight, you greedy guy."

Then he ran back to his apartment.

If she didn't slip away quickly, Yukino was afraid that Luo Bai would leave her here tonight.

Hearing the sound of the door closing next door, Luo Bai smiled and closed the door of his own apartment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's perfect. Today is finally a perfect day."

I was just about to relax by playing some games when my mother called.

Okay, I should also report to my mom on the progress of my relationship with Yukino.

Volume 1: Chapter 32 The Proposal for the Study Group (2/2)

Monday, school day.

After having breakfast, Yukino packed up the remaining premium cookies and took them with her to school ahead of time.

Luo Bai prepared his lunchbox and arrived at school at about the same time as usual.

As soon as Luo Bai entered the classroom, he was met with the attention of Miura Yumiko and her small group.

Yumiko Miura, in particular, was clearly still upset about what happened on Friday.

Miura Yumiko couldn't accept that she had deliberately sought trouble, only to be easily defeated by Luo Bai in her forte, tennis.

After hearing Hayato Hayama's account of some things from Luo Bai's childhood, Yumiko Miura realized that beneath Luo Bai's amiable exterior lay a formidable nature, and finally managed to resist the urge to cause trouble on Monday.

After sitting down, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was in front of him, turned around and whispered, "Be careful, Miura has his eye on you."

"What's the big deal? It's not a big deal." After putting everything away and taking out his textbooks and homework, Luo Bai said nonchalantly, "Does she think she can send someone to deal with me?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's expression froze for a moment: "Uh, that's unlikely. After all, the Yukinoshita family is quite prestigious in Chiba. Even if Miura doesn't know the specifics of your relationship, you're both from the same club. If she's going to cause trouble, she'll probably only do so in other ways."

"Let's not talk about this for now, it's pointless."

After flipping through the textbook for the first math class later, Luo Bai said, "The exam is next week, how's your preparation going?"

When exams are mentioned, Hachiman's face immediately falls, just like most high school students.

"Could you please not talk about exams? I'm really worried about that. If it were just humanities subjects, that would be fine, but I'm really bad at science subjects."

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You're seriously unbalanced in your studies. You should study properly. Yukino said yesterday that if you fail this exam, you'll have to come to school for tutoring and retakes during Golden Week. If you don't want your sister to look down on you, try to pass your science subjects."

"You bastard, don't try to scare me with my sister!"

Hachiman Hikigaya's face was not just pale, it was completely black.

The thought of failing his exam and his younger sister finding out when he got home filled Hachiman Hikigaya with fear.

"Looks like I really need to review properly."

Looking at Luo Bai, Hachiman Hikigaya asked, "Judging from your calm demeanor, your grades must be pretty good, right? Luo Bai, can you help me out?"

"Oh? You want me to help you with your studies?"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya nodding repeatedly, Luo Bai readily agreed, "Sure, but it wouldn't be fair if I wasted my time tutoring you and didn't give you some compensation."

"Um... reward... hahaha, it's only right." Hachiman Hikigaya was a little embarrassed, but he was determined to pass the exam. "I'll treat you to something after school!"

Snapping his fingers, Luo Bai said with a smile, "It's settled then."

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched slightly as he worried about his already meager wallet.

At noon, all four members of the Service Club came to the clubroom to have lunch.

While eating her own bento, Yui Yuigahama looked curiously at Luo Bai and Yukino's bento boxes and asked, "Is it Chinese food again today? Did Luo Bai make it?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, Yukino and I have a division of labor every day, and since Yukino is on duty today, I'll be doing it."

"This is great, Chinese food." After looking at it, Yui Yuigahama said thoughtfully, "Should I learn how to make it?"

Hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya took a sip of juice and said, "My personal suggestion is that you learn the basics first before considering anything else. The difficulty of this is completely different from making cookies."

"What?! Xiaoqi, don't dampen my enthusiasm!"

In response to Yui Yuigahama's rebuttal, Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head: "No, I'm just making an objective evaluation based on what I've seen."

"Ugh! This is infuriating!" Yui Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks, looking at Luo Bai and Yukino with dissatisfaction. "Luo Bai-kun! Yukino! You two be the judge!"

Luo Bai kept his head down and ate without commenting.

Left with no other option, Yukino said, "Well, let's lay a solid foundation first."

The meaning is self-evident.

"How can you all be like this..."

With no other option, Yui Yuigahama had to give up on the topic; continuing would only make her feel even more ashamed.

As they chatted, the topic of midterm exams came up.

Yui Yuigahama said with distress, "This is so troublesome. I really don't want to come to school for tutoring and retakes during the holidays. What if I fail?"

After putting down her empty bento box, Yukino said, "Since you're worried about failing, then study hard."

"But studying is so difficult!"

After making a comment, Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino and said, "Yukino, can you help me review? Especially math and English, there are so many parts I don't understand. The schoolwork feels so much harder now that I'm in my second year of high school! Yukino, please!"

Seeing Yui Yuigahama constantly pleading with her, Yukino couldn't take it anymore and could only look to Luo Bai for help.

Meeting Yukino's gaze, Luo Bai smiled and said, "This morning, Hachiman also asked me for help. Now that the Service Club doesn't have any requests, why don't we have a study session after school? At the club, somewhere off-campus, or even at someone's house, we can study together, what do you say?"
