My fiancée Yukino

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Yukino stopped moving, blushing as she leaned against Luo Bai's chest and whispered, "Why are you in such a hurry..."

"How can I not be anxious? It's normal to be anxious, isn't it?"

Gently pinching Yukino's cheek, Luo Bai said, "Alright, Yukino's energy is replenished. I need to get up. What's for breakfast today?"

"There are still some dumplings in the fridge, I'll make some pan-fried dumplings, and then some sandwiches."

As she stepped out of Luo Bai's arms, Yukino turned and walked towards the door, saying something to herself.

"It'll be ready in about ten minutes, so hurry up."

"no problem."

After changing his clothes and washing up, Luo Bai went to the living room and had a pleasant breakfast with Xue Nai.

While eating fried dumplings, Luo Bai noticed the various teaching materials that Yukino had brought over, indicating that she really intended to study here in the morning.

Luo Bai really liked this earnestness.

After taking a sip of coffee, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and asked, "Aren't you studying with you?"

Swallowing the dumpling in her mouth, Yukino shook her head and said, "No, it would be affected by the cat over there."

Yukino was also aware of her own personality; if she were studying on her side, she would absolutely not be able to resist the cat coming over.

Therefore, to resist temptation, it's best to study with Luo Bai.

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way then. We can have tomorrow's study session here too. If I remember correctly, Yuihama's family keeps dogs, and she's a little afraid of cats."

Yukino responded, "Yes, she did say she was afraid of cats, which I can't understand. It's normal for someone to be afraid of dogs, but I really didn't expect her to be afraid of cats."

That's true. Generally speaking, Luo Bai has only heard of people being afraid of dogs. After all, even small dogs can be quite frightening when they get angry, let alone large dogs.

But when it comes to cats, it's actually quite rare to hear people say that cats are scary or frightening. Putting aside domestic cats, even stray cats outside will generally avoid strangers.

Yui Yuigahama is acting like this because she probably had some kind of frightening experience in the past.

After breakfast, Luo Bai and Xue Nai began their morning study session.

Seeing how serious Yukino was, Luo Bai felt embarrassed to slack off and could only study diligently for two hours.

In the afternoon, it was naturally time for Yukino to visit the cat cafe, which she had been eagerly anticipating.

After changing into a jacket and jeans, Yukino went out with Luo Bai. Going to a cat cafe naturally involves petting the cats, and even with stockings, wearing a skirt would make it easy to get scratched by the cats' claws, so pants were more convenient.

Looking at Yukino's slender legs, Luo Bai said, "Yukino, you're still a bit thin. You should eat more."

Yukino immediately shook her head: "No, I'm fine as I am now, and I don't have a big appetite, so it won't do me any good to make me eat more."

"But you're still a bit weak. Don't forget you've always been in poor health. You should eat as much as you can. Hmm, we can look into some soup recipes later and make more nutritious ones."

Yukino glanced at Luo Bai and whispered, "I feel like what you're doing is like raising pigs."

"Haha, no, no, I just hope you're in better health, Yukino."

As they spoke, Luo Bai took Yukino's hand, their fingers intertwined, and the two walked toward the station.

After spending the afternoon at the cat cafe, it was almost five o'clock when Yukino was reluctantly led away by Luo Bai.

Seeing Yukino's lingering enjoyment, Luo Bai chuckled and pinched her cheek, saying, "Alright, if you like it so much, we can come again next week. Exams are over next weekend, so you can relax here. As for now, it's dinner time, let's find somewhere to eat."

Having always eaten Chinese food, the two decided to try something different today and went to a Thai restaurant for a meal.

During dinner, Yang Nai called.

Yukino picked up her phone and answered, "Sister, what's up?"

"Hello, Yukino, are you guys not home?"

Haruno's energetic voice came through, and Yukino asked in surprise, "Sister, you're here?"

"Yeah, I didn't have anything planned for today, so I thought I'd come over and have some fun!"

"We're out now, eating out. We just started eating." After glancing at the food on the table and then at Luo Bai, who was nodding across from her, Yukino said, "Sister, would you like to join us?"

"Huh? Is that okay?" Yang Nai asked happily. "Won't it disturb your date?"

"...One word: are you coming or not?"

"Come on! Give me the address, I'll drive over right away!"

After giving the location, Yukino immediately ended the call, called the waiter, and ordered three more dishes.

After finishing a shrimp, Luo Bai said with a smile, "I didn't expect Sister Yang Nai to come today."

Yukino nodded: "Yeah, I really didn't expect that. I guess she's just trying to freeload again. Perfect, let her come over and eat with us, and then I'll drive us home."

Yukino initially disliked her older sister, since she always liked to tease her.

However, with Luo Bai present, it was two against one for them, so Yukino didn't have as many concerns as before and became much bolder.

Luo Bai wasn't as afraid of his sister-in-law, Yang Nai, as he was. They had played together when they were little, and Luo Bai knew why Yang Nai had become the way she was now.

In the end, there was no deep-seated hatred between the sisters; it was just that some minor estrangement had arisen as they got older.

Let's see how Haruno and Yukino handle this on their own.

If all else fails, Luo Bai felt he could think of a solution.

Volume 1: Chapter 41 The Workplace Visit (1/2)

Because she had driven, Yang Nai quickly arrived at the restaurant and found Luo Bai and Yukino in the lobby.

Wow! You guys are really having a feast! I'm so envious!

Haruno sat down next to Yukino and pouted, saying, "I finally managed to get here after finishing all my schoolwork, but I haven't even seen you guys at the apartment yet."

Luo Bai smiled and poured Yang Nai a glass of cola. "Who told you not to call ahead? If you had, Yukino and I would have gone back sooner."

After taking a sip of cola and putting a piece of crab into her bowl, Yang Nai asked, "So, you guys have been outside all day?"

"No, we studied at home in the morning and only came out in the afternoon. We relaxed at the cat cafe for a while and then came here for dinner."

"Oh, I see?"

Taking a happy bite of crab meat, Yang Nai said with a smile, "Xiao Shiro, you really spoil Yukino, always taking her to places she likes."

Luo Bai shrugged, smiled at Yukino, and said, "Isn't this what should be done?"

Yang Nai suddenly felt like she had been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Especially after seeing Yukino's obvious smile, he felt even worse.

Tsk tsk tsk, my little sister whom I watched grow up has already sided with someone else so quickly. It's obvious she's in a relationship.

Yang was genuinely envious.

Spitting out the crab shell, Haruno sighed and said, "Sigh, I really envy Yukino, she has someone who spoils her like this."

Yukino calmly replied, "If you want to, go find a boyfriend. With your looks and qualifications, it shouldn't be hard to find a suitable one, right? Don't tell me no one pursues you in college."

"Yes, there are some, but what if I don't like them?"

Yang Nai pouted and said, "None of them are any good. Some of them look decent enough, but you can tell they're after our family without even talking to them. So, I'm not planning on dating for now. It's just too unsafe. Being single is fine, and I'm still young."

Luo Bai agreed, saying, "That's right, Yang Nai, you're still in university. There's no need to think about these things so soon."

As for the Yukino family arranging a marriage for Haruno, there's no need to worry.

Now that Yukino is engaged to Luo Bai, the cooperation between the two families has been going smoothly for the past few years, and Haruno no longer needs to contribute anything to the family.

Moreover, given Haruno's personality, not just any man can easily subdue her; Haruno has very high standards.

In response to Luo Bai's words, Yang Nai said with a smile, "What did you say when you were talking about me? But what about you two? You're still high school students, and you're already engaged. Tsk tsk tsk, you really are being treated differently."

In response, Luo Bai shrugged and said, "You can't say that. I was shocked when I found out. Luckily, it's Yukino. I wouldn't have agreed to it with anyone else. It's better sooner or later anyway. Even without the engagement, I was going to come this year anyway."

Yukino has been in Luo Bai's sights since childhood, so naturally he wouldn't let this beautiful cabbage slip through his fingers.

"That's really lucky for Yukino, isn't it, Yukino?"

Yukino calmly took a sip of soup, looked at Luo Bai, and said, "It's normal for someone to like me. After all, I'm very cute, and Luo Bai noticed that when I was little. Compared to you, sister should learn more from me, otherwise you'll definitely stay single forever."

"...Yukino isn't cute anymore, now she knows how to argue with her older sister."

There was nothing Yango could do about her younger sister, who was now protected by a man, so she could only vent her frustration on the delicious food in front of her.

After dinner, Yang Nai shamelessly acted as a third wheel, strolling around the nearby mall with Luo Bai and Xue Nai, and even got a free cup of milk tea. Only then did she act as a "tool," driving the two back to their apartment.

When she arrived at the apartment building, Yang Nai didn't go upstairs. She drove away directly. She had come back to Chiba today but hadn't gone home yet, so she had to go back now.

Although she is in college, Yang Nai will soon be formally involved in the family business, joining the company and learning from her mother. She will also be going back today to discuss this matter.

Watching Yang Nai's car drive away, Luo Bai said softly, "Yang Nai-nee isn't having an easy time either. She won't be able to enjoy much of her university life before she has to start taking over the management of the family business. Yukino, what about you? In the future, do you plan to manage the Yukino family's company with Yang Nai-nee, or will you be in charge of the Luo family's company with me?"

In addition to the interior design and decoration company and furniture design company that Luo Bai's family collaborates with the Yukino family, they also own several advertising companies and an internet company that they have invested in in the last two years. It can be said that they have cast a wide net.

Several of these companies were recommended for investment by Luo Bai, a time traveler, after he learned about them, and they are all currently doing well.

Yukino said with some concern, "I haven't thought about it much. I don't know if I can do well if I join the company."

“It’s okay, we’ll know once we try. Both of our families have resources to let us try and fail.” Taking Yukino’s hand and walking into the apartment building, Luo Bai said, “Isn’t there a workplace visit event starting in May? How about we go to our family’s advertising company in Tokyo to experience it? Anyway, I’m planning to go there.”

"Workplace visit, I remember now."

Yukino nodded. "But in that case, can you decide where to go yourself?"

"It should be fine, since the school doesn't arrange anything good. My family owns a company, why would I go anywhere else? I'll ask Hiratsuka-sensei after the exam next week. I just don't know if we can be paired up since we're not in the same class. Hmm, it should be possible."

Yukino also considered this matter. After all, she didn't really have any close classmates in her class, and she was happier with Luo Bai.

Back home, having had enough fun for the evening, the two didn't plan any extra activities. After taking a shower, they drank tea, watched TV for a while, read some books, and then went to bed at ten o'clock.

There's a study session tomorrow, and I also have to get up early to buy some groceries.

After saying goodnight to Yukino, Luo Bai returned to his bedroom, lay on the bed, took out his phone, and continued chatting with Hachiman Hikigaya.

Luo Bai: [By the way, are you really not bringing your sister along?]

Hachiman Hikigaya: [You bastard, don't even think about hitting on my sister!]

Luo Bai: [You really are a total siscon! I was just thinking that since you're out tomorrow, your sister might get bored at home alone, so I invited her over to play together.]

Hachiman Hikigaya: [Don't even think about it!]

"..."

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya's reply, Luo Bai smiled helplessly: "This siscon is hopeless."

Volume 1: Chapter 42 Weekend Study Session (2/2)

On Sunday morning, although Luo Bai really wanted to wait for Yukino to come to her room to wake her up, she got up a little earlier and got up on her own.

When Yukino arrived at eight o'clock, Luo Bai had already prepared breakfast.

"Good morning, Yukino, come and have breakfast."

Blinking, Yukino looked at the breakfast on the table and asked in surprise, "Why are you up so early today?"

"I still need to go out to buy groceries later, so of course I have to get up early."

After pouring Yukino a cup of coffee, Luo Bai said, "I'm going out to buy groceries later. I'm meeting Yuihama and Hikigaya at 9:30. They should arrive a little early. If I'm not back by then, please entertain them for me. You're the hostess, after all."

Yukino smiled and nodded, then sat down and began to eat breakfast.

At 9:15 a.m., the doorbell rang at Luo Bai's house.

Upon hearing this, Yukino, who was preparing in the living room, went to the entrance and looked through the peephole. She saw Yui Yuigahama standing at the door with a smile on her face.

Opening the door, Yukino looked at Yuigahama Yui and said, "Good morning, you've come early."

Yui Yuigahama said happily, "Good morning, Yukino! Hehe, since you're coming to visit, I had to arrive a little early. I got up really early today! Here, these are some snacks my mom made. Let's eat them together during our study session!"

"Thank you, please come in. Here are some slippers."

"Excuse me~~~"

After changing into slippers, Yui Yuigahama curiously looked around the living room and asked, "Is this Luo Bai's house? Yukino, is your house next door?"

“Yes, I have a cat over there. You might not be used to it, so it’s better to leave it with Luo Bai.”

Yukino scratched her cheek awkwardly. "Thank you, you've really gone to so much trouble. By the way, where's Luo Bai-kun?"
