My fiancée Yukino

"He went to buy groceries. We ate out yesterday, so we only have meat at home. He needs to buy some vegetables. He should be back soon. Please have a seat. I'm boiling water. Would black tea be alright?"

"sure!"

Yukino went to the kitchen to make tea, while Yui looked around the room with curiosity and whispered, "A luxury apartment. As expected, Luo Bai-kun and Yukino's family are both very wealthy."

Ten minutes later, Hachiman Hikigaya arrived, and he arrived with Rakubai.

When Luo Bai arrived at the apartment building, he happened to see Hachiman Hikigaya coming from the other side.

Like Yui Yuigahama, Hachiman Hikigaya also brought something with him when he came. He brought fruit, which also cost a lot of money.

"After my parents heard that they were helping me review for the exam, they gave me money to buy some things to bring with me."

Taking the fruit, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie. Please come in."

Everyone has arrived, so the study session can begin this morning.

Arriving at the dining table in the living room, the space is spacious enough for four people to study here.

After brewing tea, Yukino also brought out some sweets made by Yui Yui's mother, so there was something to eat and drink.

Opening the workbook in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed, "Two more days, let's just hang in there."

Yui Yuigahama is in a similar situation. Although it's a happy thing that everyone is gathered together for a study session today, studying can be very tiring.

Patting her cheeks, Yui Yuigahama mustered her spirits and began working on the problems.

Luo Bai and Yukino were much more relaxed. After briefly reviewing the key points for next week's exam and doing some practice questions, they prepared to tutor Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama.

At 10:30, after explaining a few English grammar points to Yui Yuigahama, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and said, "It's almost time, I'm going to make lunch."

"I'll do it too, two people will be faster."

Luo Bai stood up next to them and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama, saying, "You two review first. Write down anything you don't understand, and we'll continue explaining it this afternoon."

Watching Luo Bai and Yukino walk into the kitchen, Yui Yuigahama moved her chair over to Hachiman Hikigaya, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Hachiman, Hachiman! Have you noticed? Aren't they practically living together? When I came over, Yukino was cleaning here!"

"Isn't this normal?" Hachiman Hikigaya said calmly while doing his homework. "Their apartments are right next to each other, and they're dating. Isn't it normal for them to visit each other's homes regularly?"

Yui Yuigahama nodded, glancing towards the kitchen where she saw the two of them cooking side by side: "That's true, but it's so nice. This kind of relationship makes me want to fall in love!"

Hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at Yui Yuigahama and said, "If you want to date, it should be pretty easy, since you're quite popular at school."

"Huh? Really? Hehehe, you flatter me~~"

Yui Yuigahama chuckled sheepishly, "But I'm not that kind of girl, I can't just date anyone. Besides, I can't keep secrets, if I get a boyfriend my parents will definitely find out, so I have to choose carefully!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was surprised to find that Yui Yuigahama, who usually seemed a bit silly, was actually quite clear-headed in this regard.

Nodding, Hachiman Hikigaya said, "Just make sure you know it yourself, so you won't get fooled later."

"What?! Little Qi, you're really underestimating me!"

In the kitchen, Luo Bai heard the faint sounds of the two talking outside and chuckled as he said, "That Hachiman guy still doesn't know that the dog he saved back then belongs to Yuihama."

Yukino smiled and said, "I didn't expect that either. I just don't know why Yui herself didn't mention it."

"I guess they have some concerns," Luo Bai shrugged. "Like, causing Hachiman to get injured because of their own actions. By the way, Yukino, do you think those two look good together?"

"Ok?"

Stopping her work, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Are you trying to play matchmaker?"

"No, I'm just a little curious. I would never intentionally try to matchmake other people; that could easily backfire if I meant well."

For Luo Bai, dealing with his own relationship issues is enough. He and Yukino have only just started dating, so he has no time to care about other people.

Yukino nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I can't say for sure about that, but if these two really get together, who will work and earn money in the future?"

"Forehead....."

Luo Bai fell silent; he hadn't expected Yukino to have thought of this.

Yes, that is indeed a question worth pondering.

Volume 1: Chapter 43 The study session ends, we go to Yukinoshita's house for dinner (1/2)

Lunch was ready around 12 o'clock.

Four people, five dishes and a soup, a truly sumptuous meal laid out on the table.

Upon seeing this, Yui Yuigahama swallowed hard in surprise: "So much delicious food, and it's all Chinese food! You guys are amazing!"

"It's alright, you'll get the hang of it after doing it a lot."

After serving the rice, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Alright, sit down and let's eat."

The four sat down, with Luo Bai and Yukino on one side, and Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuihama Kiichi on the other.

"I'm gonna start now!"

After saying that, Yui Yuigahama happily picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in her mouth.

"Mmm!! It's sweet and sour, so delicious!"

Hachiman Hikigaya also picked up a piece and tasted it: "Sweet and sour pork ribs, oh, the taste is really good. I feel like I can learn how to make it. Komachi would definitely love it. Luo Bai, can you find an authentic tutorial online?"

"Tutorials are available, but they might be difficult to find on Japanese websites. I suggest you look for them on Chinese websites."

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded: "I see, I understand. I'll go look for it later."

For Hachiman Hikigaya, who has been navigating the internet for many years, bypassing internet restrictions is second nature; he doesn't even need to ask anyone for help.

As for Yui Yuigahama, she naturally had no intention of learning to cook. It was far too difficult for her. She could turn a cookie into poison, so who knew what kind of dish she would end up with?

So Yuigahama Yui simply stopped thinking about it and started eating in peace.

Lunch consisted of six dishes: sweet and sour pork ribs, curry chicken wings, tomato beef brisket, stir-fried lettuce, asparagus, tofu skin, and wood ear mushrooms, as well as crucian carp soup—a considerable amount. Fortunately, with Luo Bai and Hachiman, two boys with big appetites, we managed to finish most of it.

Touching her stomach, Yui Yuigahama stood up with difficulty and said, "Yukino, let me help with the dishes! I need to get some exercise!"

Yukino did not refuse and let Yui follow her into the kitchen.

The two showered together and chatted.

Yui Yuigahama said with a big smile, "I'm so happy to have a study session at my classmate's house and then have dinner together! Yukino, come to my house next time, I'll treat you!"

"They!"

Yukino nodded: "Okay, let's find an opportunity. Right now, we should focus on preparing for the exam."

"Okay, okay, I'm full of confidence now!"

After discussing the party, Yui Yuigahama naturally couldn't help but bring up the topic of romance.

Yui gently nudged Yukino's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Yukino, you're dating Luo Bai now, so what about that?"

"that?"

Yukino turned her head in confusion, and then saw Yui Yuigahama pouting her lips. She immediately knew what the other wanted to ask.

With her cheeks flushed, Yukino lowered her head and carefully washed the dishes, saying softly, "These are normal."

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up as she continued to ask, "What does a kiss feel like?"

Yukino naturally wouldn't answer that question, and simply said, "You'll know when you find a boyfriend, don't ask me."

"Hey~~ Don't be shy, Yukino!"

Unfortunately, Yukino wasn't thick-skinned enough to answer that question, so she continued washing the dishes.

Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, Yui Yuigahama had no choice but to stop asking and help with the last few bowls.

After washing the dishes, Yukino made tea, while Yuigahama Yui washed the fruit and then cut it into a fruit platter.

Although I'm not good at cooking, I've studied at home for a long time, so I can at least cut some simple fruit.

After finishing our tea and some fruit, the afternoon study session was about to continue.

The afternoon session was quite long. Starting at 1:30, the study session went on until almost 5:00. It was only then that Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama finally reviewed all the knowledge points of the exam subjects from the first year of high school to the current stage of the second year, and also sorted out the key points of the upcoming exam.

After the entire tutoring session, both of them were exhausted.

Looking at them, Luo Bai took a sip of coffee and said, "Alright, that's the end of the tutoring session. You can prepare yourselves well tomorrow. I hope you can do your best in the exam the day after tomorrow and not let down Yukino and me."

This was Luo Bai's first time experiencing tutoring, and it was truly exhausting, especially with Hachiman Hikigaya. At first, Luo Bai thought it was because he didn't want to learn, but now it seems that his talent in mathematics is really just average.

Fortunately, the high school curriculum isn't too difficult, so he can manage to pass the exams.

It was almost time, so the two thanked each other and took their leave.

After tidying up a bit, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said, "Are you tired? How about we order takeout for dinner?"

Just as Yukino was about to nod, her phone rang. It was Haruno calling.

"Yukino, have you started making dinner yet?"

"Not yet," Yukino said. "I was in a study session with my classmates, they just left. Is there something you need, sister?"

"You haven't cooked yet? That's good. I'm on my way. You can all go back for dinner together tonight. Father is back from his meeting today, so you're both free."

Yukino glanced at Luo Bai and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Putting down her phone, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and said, "Change your clothes and go home for dinner."

"That's great, then I don't have to cook for myself or order takeout."

Ordering takeout is convenient, but to be honest, the taste is a bit different from eating in the restaurant, and it's also quite expensive. This is Japan, after all, so I'm generally not keen on ordering takeout, unless it's fast food like burgers or pizza.

The two went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and then came downstairs to wait together.

Five minutes later, Yang Nai's car arrived, picked up the two of them, and then told the family to leave.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Yang Nai glanced at the two people sitting in the back and said with a smile, "When we get home, Father and Mother will definitely be very happy to see that your relationship is getting better and better."

Luo Bai nodded: "I think so too."

As for Yukino, she was also mentally prepared, since the engagement was already arranged, wasn't it?

And just like her sister said, their relationship is very good now. It's not a so-called arranged marriage; they've known each other since childhood and know each other inside and out.

Holding Yukino's hand, Luo Bai and Yang Nai, who was driving, started chatting.

"Yono-nee, you're going to be dealing with the Yukino family's businesses next, right? And you also have to keep up with your university studies. Won't that be tiring?"

"It's alright, but don't underestimate me, I'm really capable!" Yang Nai said confidently. "By the way, although you're only a sophomore in high school, Xiao Bai, where are you planning to go to university? Are you going back home or staying here?"

Yukino's question made Yukino look at Luo Bai as well.

Volume 1: Chapter 44 Mom and Dad are here (2/2)

"University..."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "In Japan, there aren't many universities that interest me. The University of Tokyo is one, then Kyoto University and Waseda University, and Keio University, which you're studying, Yang Nai. Chiba University in Chiba is also okay. That's about it. There are some pretty good universities in other places, but I won't consider them because they're a bit far."

Yang Nai nodded after listening and said, "Yes, these universities are indeed quite good. Based on what I've learned from your aunt and uncle, even a novice like you could get into any of them. So, are you planning to study here?"

"Any university is fine, as long as the faculty is good, the learning atmosphere is good, and I can learn what I want to learn." As he spoke, Luo Bai looked at the girl beside him, "Yukino, which university do you want to go to? Let's go together."

Yukino pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "University of Tokyo, or Waseda University."

“Good choice.”

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Then let's apply to the same university."

Yukino looked at Luo Bai and returned a smile.

This scene brought a relieved smile to Yang Nai, who was driving in front. Her younger sister had finally stopped being awkward and readily agreed to Luo Bai's request.

But Yukino suddenly felt so jealous. How come Yukino got to have such a good thing happen to her?

Shaking her head, Yang Nai dared not think too much about it; the more she thought about it, the more envious she became.

Half an hour later, the car returned to the Yukinoshita family's manor. As a prominent family in Chiba, the Yukinoshita family was naturally wealthy, and their manor was quite large, employing many servants.

After parking the car, the three of them went inside the house.

Luo Bai is very familiar with this place; he used to come here to play often when he was a child.

However, upon entering today, Luo Bai saw two unexpected figures.

"Dad, Mom? What brings you here?"
