My fiancée Yukino

Volume 1: Chapter 369 The Opening of the Sobu High School Cultural Festival to the Public (1/2)

Saturday morning.

Luo Bai got up early and, after exercising, went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After boiling the dumplings, I took out the hand-pulled pancakes I had bought online from the refrigerator and heated the pan to make them.

Luo Bai saw this product online and discovered that it was also sold here. It seems that Chinese people opened online stores along with supermarkets.

At 7:45, everyone got up one after another, and Shiwa, Eriri, and Hoshino Ai also arrived.

Moreover, the three of them had come here without having breakfast, just as Luo Bai had suggested, and were eating with everyone.

Looking at the large breakfast spread, Hoshino Ai's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Chicken porridge!"

"Steamed buns, dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, sandwiches, salad, so much stuff! Brother Luo Bai, what's this?"

Luo Bai, who was carrying hot milk, saw Hoshino looking at the scallion pancakes curiously, so he smiled and said, "This is a scallion pancake. You can roll all sorts of things inside, and you can put different sauces in it. The ingredients are all eggs, bacon, and lettuce. Because of time constraints, I only prepared ketchup and sweet chili sauce. You can choose your own. To let you eat more, I'll cut it for you in a bit."

As they were talking, Yang Nai, yawning, was the last to come downstairs. Once everyone was there, they all sat down at the dining table and began breakfast.

Luo's mother hadn't seen Hoshino Ai for a while, and when she saw her coming, she immediately pulled the girl to sit down next to her and kept putting food on her plate.

"I've seen it on TV these past few days, Xiao Ai, you really have a lot of work. It's fine to work hard, but you also need to eat properly. I see you've lost weight. Come on, eat more. These dumplings are ones I made these past two days, they're very generously filled, have a few more."

Looking at the bowl of food she had just finished eating—two dumplings and half a scallion pancake—and the various other foods that were now left over, Hoshino Ai appreciated Luo's mother's concern, but she just couldn't take it anymore.

"Um, Auntie, that's too much! We can't finish it all!"

"Why can't you finish it?" Mrs. Luo didn't believe it at all. She put another dumpling on Hoshino Ai's plate and said, "Eat more. You're still growing. But if you eat more, your physical fitness won't be able to keep up with your training!"

With her face flushed, Hoshino Ai couldn't refuse any longer, so she could only eat while looking to Luo Bai for help.

After eating two dumplings in a row, Luo Bai smiled and said, "This is your elder's concern for you. Xiao Ai, you should accept it properly. It's okay, eat slowly. We still have plenty of time, no rush."

Seeing that even Luo Bai wasn't helping her, Hoshino Ai had no choice but to take a sip of freshly squeezed juice and continue fighting.

At 8:10, Hoshino Ai finally finished eating everything in her bowl. She hadn't eaten this much in over half a month, and she was almost bursting.

At this moment, Lucoa also arrived, but she did not act with Kobayashi and the others.

Seeing Hoshino Ai lying on the sofa, Lucoa smiled, a glint of light emanating from her fingertip, and gently touched Hoshino Ai's stomach, immediately making her feel much better.

"Hmm, it seems like he doesn't eat much normally and can't adapt all at once. It's not a big problem."

Letting out a breath, Hoshino Ai looked at Lucoa and said, "Thank you, Lucoa-neechan, I can finally relax!"

Yang Nai, who was standing next to her, said with a smile, "Hehe, that's why I told you when I met Ai-ni in Tokyo before, when we had dinner together, that there's no need to diet too much. Your breathing technique isn't just for show."

"Ugh... I know, but I'm used to it anyway. Besides, I don't usually need to use it. When I get busy in a few days, I just treat myself like an ordinary person."

Hoshino Ai was also frustrated. She had thought that practicing the breathing technique would improve her appetite and digestion, allowing her to eat more delicious food.

But I didn't expect that when I got busy, I would forget all of that and then start controlling my food intake on my own.

"It just means the habit hasn't been fully formed yet." Shinobu Kocho came downstairs after changing her clothes and said with a smile, "I suggest that you set an alarm on your phone every morning and practice breathing techniques regularly. If you stick to it for a month, it should be about right."

Hoshino Ai nodded: "Yes, I'll do my best!"

Once everyone was ready, Luo Bai took them to the arranged car and set off for the school.

Luo's parents also left at the same time and went to Yukinoshita's house.

When Luo Bai and his group arrived at Zongwu High School, the students were already there, as were many parents and parents with their children who were in junior high school.

After getting off the bus, Luo Bai looked at the large group of people and said with a smile, "Well then, let's go in. I've also given you the visitor's brochures. Go and have fun on your own."

Seeing the lively scene, Xia Shi and Tina didn't think about having Luo Bai take them. Instead, they were led by Yukino and Mai and walked straight into the school gate.

Shinobu took her younger sisters out to play, Haruno went to find her junior, Jun Shiromaru, while Lucoa was waiting for Kobayashi and the others to arrive, not in a hurry.

After everyone set off, Luo Bai suddenly realized that the only people left around him were Shi Yu, Eriri, and Hoshino Ai.

Looking at the three of them, Luo Bai asked with a smile, "And what about you? What are your plans?"

Shiyu immediately said, "Eri and I will go shopping together. We already discussed it in the car. As for Ai, you can take care of her, Luo Jun."

"Huh? Me?"

Luo Bai pointed to himself, then looked at Hoshino Ai, who was standing to the side, her true appearance obscured by her disguise.

Despite the disguise, Hoshino Ai was still a rather cute girl at this moment, and she didn't seem to be hiding her starry eyes.

Before Hoshino Ai could react, Utaha pulled Eriri away, leaving the two of them standing at the school gate.

Hoshino Ai's face also flushed uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, she had never experienced being alone with a boy before.

Luo Bai was the first to realize that this grouping was definitely something they had discussed internally and arranged clearly for themselves.

Scratching his head, Luo Bai looked helplessly at Hoshino Ai: "Let's go, there are lots of fun places on campus, let's not think about anything else."

"Then... thank you for your trouble, Brother Luo Bai."

Following Luo Bai, Hoshino Ai stepped into the gates of Soubu High School.

Unlike the last time I came, Sobu High School has now been completely transformed into a cultural festival venue, with every place filled with a festive atmosphere.

After walking for a while, Hoshino Ai gradually forgot her shyness and started browsing excitedly.

Volume 1: Chapter 370 Hoshino Ai Wants to Go on Stage (2/2)

Having eaten a lot for breakfast, Hoshino Ai saw many food stalls but didn't buy anything in the end, opting instead for milk tea.

Seeing the girl biting on the straw, Luo Bai, who was in charge of paying the bill, bought a cup for himself and said with a smile, "Won't milk tea fill you up?"

Hoshino Ai glared at Luo Bai and said smugly, "Milk tea is a dessert, it's in a different stomach, it's not the same!"

"Fine, you're right."

Luo Bai smiled, then led Hoshino Ai forward to an open-air stage surrounded by a crowd.

After their first day on stage yesterday, the bands performing here are already quite skilled and no longer stage-frightened, performing with great confidence and composure.

Watching the performance on stage, Hoshino Ai unconsciously nodded along to the rhythm, humming the lyrics softly.

Looking at the girl's expression, Luo Bai knew that she had a desire to sing.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai stroked his chin and said, "Xiao Ai, would you like to go on stage and perform?"

"Ugh?"

Hoshino Ai blinked and looked at Luo Bai, "Really?"

"Of course, no problem. Let's play for a while, and then at noon we'll go find the executive committee member and the student council president, and then contact the principal. Don't forget you're planning to take the entrance exam for Zongwu High School next year. The principal won't let go of this good opportunity to recruit students, and might even be willing to admit you without taking the exam."

"Oh, no need for exemption from exams, I can get in based on my own abilities!"

Hoshino Ai clenched her little fist, her face full of confidence.

"Okay, I believe you can get in on your own. So, do you still want to go on stage?"

"Yes, I want to sing! Since the release of my new album, I haven't performed on stage many times, mainly just on TV twice!"

When it came to going on stage, Hoshino Ai was also very excited.

"Okay, that's settled."

Thinking that Yang Nai should have already met her junior Shiroki Jun, Luo Bai took out his phone and dialed Yang Nai's number.

Yang Nai did indeed see Student Council President Kaijun at this moment, and they were together in the executive committee's meeting room.

Upon seeing Luo Bai's call, Yang Nai answered and said, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong? You miss your older sister already?"

Sitting to the side, Shiromaru also looked at his senior whom he hadn't seen in a long time with curiosity, wondering who the person on the phone was.

Luo Bai said helplessly, "I have something important to do. I'm with Xiao Ai on the outdoor stage right now. She wants to perform on stage, so I was thinking, could she be the closing act for the afternoon's auditorium performance? Senior Shiroi Xun should be next to you, right? Have her contact the dean of students and the principal. If possible, I'll bring Xiao Ai over later and we can discuss it."

"Oh! Going on stage? That sounds interesting, it's sure to be a lot of fun!"

After hearing Luo Bai's proposal, Yang Nai also became interested. She was the kind of person who liked excitement, so she naturally wanted to push it forward.

While maintaining the call, Yang Nai looked at Shirokai and said, "For the afternoon's auditorium performance, do we need a grand finale? Something really amazing."

"Um, what is it?"

"How about popular idol singer, Hoshino Ai? That kid really wants to perform."

As soon as Hoshino Ai's name appeared, all the executive committee members in the conference room, regardless of gender, looked over.

"I think I just heard Hoshino Ai."

"Could it be that Hoshino Ai came to our school?"

"Really? I'm a huge fan of hers!"

"I'm really looking forward to her Budokan concert next year. It's already been announced, and all that's left is to buy tickets!"

Shiromaru was also very surprised, not expecting that Haruno knew Hoshino Ai. She asked cautiously, "Um, senior, is Hoshino Ai really at our school?"

“Yes, Ai is disguised and playing at school, so don’t bother her.” Yang Nai waved her hand and said, “If she really is a fan, don’t bother her now. Besides, Ai will be taking the entrance exam for Soubu High School next year, so they will become classmates sooner or later.”

Yang Nai's words excited everyone.

No one could have imagined that next year, after actress Mai Sakurajima graduates, another idol singer, Ai Hoshino, would apply to Sobu High School.

"President, let's hurry and go find the principal!"

"That's right, this is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to enhance the school's reputation!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shiromaru looked at Hinata and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"

"Hmph, you're the student council president now, so you can make the decisions."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Shiromaru said with a smile, "Okay, I understand. I'll go find the principal now! You all stay here and continue to manage the various stalls in the school. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Shiromaru returned very quickly, arriving at the conference room with the principal in less than ten minutes.

Upon seeing Yang Nai, the old headmaster smiled and nodded: "It's Yang Nai, long time no see. Is what Shiroi said earlier true?"

"Hello, Principal."

After exchanging greetings, Yang Nai said with a smile, "Xiao Ai and I already know each other. She spent most of her summer vacation staying with us, and she came directly from Tokyo this morning. We came to school together. What do you think about having her perform on stage this afternoon, Principal?"

The principal nodded happily, "Haha, of course! Not to mention that Hoshino Ai wants to apply to our Soubu High School next year. It's great news for us no matter what. Shiromaru, you guys arrange the afternoon performance schedule right away and tell the hosts. As for Hoshino Ai's appearance, don't announce it yet. Wait until just before the afternoon performance starts. Otherwise, all those reporters will definitely come. Soubu High School doesn't want too many media people coming and disrupting our well-organized cultural festival."

"Okay, I understand, Principal. I'll make the arrangements right away!"

After agreeing, Yang Nai sent a message to Luo Bai.

Five minutes later, Luo Bai brought Hoshino Ai, who had returned to her original appearance and was wearing sunglasses and a hat, to the executive committee meeting room.

All the executive committee members were very excited to see Hoshino Ai arrive, but because the principal was there and it had been mentioned in advance, no one impulsively came over to sign autographs.

At this moment, Shiromaru returned with an extremely excited host, and they discussed the afternoon's program schedule together.

Rehearsals in advance are not necessary for Hoshino Ai; she has long since outgrown the stage of feeling nervous.

As for the new song to be sung, it is already very familiar to me.

"Oh right, the performance costumes!"

Speaking of this, Hoshino Ai looked at Luo Bai.

Everything else can be kept simple, but when it comes to stage costumes, Ai Hoshino doesn't want to cut corners at all.

Volume 1: Chapter 371 The Haunted House (1/2)

Most of the costumes and other equipment are kept at the company in Tokyo, and some are kept in Hoshino Ai's own apartment.

After deciding which outfit she wanted to wear, Hoshino Ai planned to go back with Luo Bai around noon to bring the clothes back.

However, there is still plenty of time before that, so you can continue to explore the cultural festival.

So after discussing the matter, Hoshino Ai put her hat and sunglasses back on and followed Luo Bai around the cultural festival.

After buying a serving of takoyaki, Hoshino Ai took a bite to taste it and nodded in satisfaction. Then she picked up a piece with a skewer and put it to Luo Bai's lips.

"Brother Luo Bai, ah~~~"
