My fiancée Yukino

"Or are you already dating?"

Listening to the boys' gossipy questions, Luo Bai felt a bit of a headache. Was he really that close to them? Why did they dare to ask him anything?

Especially that guy who was always following Hayama Hayato around yesterday, the one with the carefree expression, his name is Tobe Sho, right? I didn't even say a few words to him yesterday.

He's so outgoing and friendly.

As she took the textbooks out of her bag, Luo Bai said calmly, "It's nothing, I was just passing by, it's not as exaggerated as you guys are making it out to be."

As for dating, the two were indeed not dating, and Luo Bai was not lying.

They were only engaged.

At that moment, Hayato Hayama walked over, patted a few boys on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, stop asking. Can't you see how troubled Luo Bai is?"

After these people finally went back, Luo Bai looked at Hayama Hayato and said, "Thanks, that was a real headache."

Hayato Hayama said with a smile, "After all, she's Yukinoshita, the top student in her grade, and her behavior always attracts attention."

Hayato Hayama learned about Luo Bai and Yukino's situation from his father after returning home yesterday.

Looking at Luo Bai, he said with emotion, "I never expected that the two of you would actually..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Bai raised his hand.

Hayato Hayama immediately understood and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just a little surprised. I won't tell anyone else."

"OK, thank you."

After Hayato Hayama returned to his group, Luo Bai noticed that the teacher who had been lying down earlier suddenly moved.

Although the movement was small, it did move slightly.

This guy probably heard it all.

As for Hachiman Hikigaya, Luo Bai didn't care. He wasn't the type to talk big, and he would keep it to himself even if he found out.

With one hand supporting his chin, Luo Bai pondered his plans for the next few days while waiting for class to begin.

Today is Wednesday. I plan to go out on Saturday to buy a computer and some other things. I also need to discuss visiting Yukino's house with her and choose a day to go.

It's about going out on Saturday. I wonder if Yukino will agree to come along. I'll ask her during lunch.

Ten minutes later, the class bell rang, and Hiratsuka Shizuka walked in on time with her textbooks.

Volume 1: Chapter 7 The Discovery of Hiratsuka Shizuka (1/2)

After glancing at Luo Bai sitting in the back row, she tapped the podium with her textbook: "Alright, let's begin class. Open your textbooks to page 15."

There are three classes in the morning: one Chinese, one math, and one English. After that, it's lunch break time.

As soon as the bell rang and the teacher left the classroom, the students went to eat lunch in groups of three or five.

Luo Bai also got up and left the classroom. He went to the convenience store, bought two cans of juice, and then went to the service department.

Before Yukino arrived, Luo Bai took out his key, opened the classroom door, and went inside.

After opening the window for ventilation, Luo Bai sat down in his seat. After looking at the tables and chairs behind him, he moved two more tables over and arranged them so that he could have lunch with Yukino later.

After waiting for five minutes, Yukino finally arrived at the Service Club, carrying a bag in her hand.

"Awaited."

"No, I arrived in five minutes."

Then, Yukino put the bag on the table, took out two identical bento boxes, placed one of them in front of Luo Bai, and also put a pair of chopsticks.

Taking the lunchbox and feeling its warmth, Luo Bai said in surprise, "You went to heat up the lunchbox?"

Yukino sat down and nodded: "There's a microwave in the teacher's office, so I went to borrow it."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After thanking Yukino, Luo Bai opened the bento box and saw that it was packed full of rice and dishes, mostly meat.

When making bento boxes, Yukino really did consider her own preferences and appetite.

Yukino's own bento box contained a normal portion of food.

Without hesitation, Luo Bai picked up his chopsticks.

"I'm gonna start now!"

The two of them ate lunch in silence in the service department.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the Service Department.

The two put down their chopsticks, and Yukino looked towards the door and said, "Please come in."

The door opened, and Hiratsuka Shizuka appeared in the doorway.

"Oh! You're eating!"

Upon entering, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately noticed something was amiss.

The two of them had the same style of lunchbox, and the dishes inside were exactly the same.

Recalling what the other teachers had told her when she returned from the cafeteria after lunch, Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes twitched slightly.

With her arms crossed, she looked at the two of them and said, "You two, isn't it time you confess to me?"

Luo Bai and Xue Nai exchanged a glance after hearing this.

Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said, "Will you tell me or not?"

Although Yukino

She was a little reserved, but still nodded: "Hiratsuka-sensei and my sister know each other."

“Alright, then I’ll say it.” Luo Bai shrugged and looked at Hiratsuka-sensei, saying, “Yukino and I have known each other since we were little.”

"So you do know each other." Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly realized. "No wonder I heard that you came to school together this morning. And this bento box... Yukinoshita actually makes bento boxes for people? Could it be that you two are already dating?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "As for dating, no."

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this; thankfully, she hadn't been overtaken by the two youngsters.

But Luo Bai's words the next second completely shattered her.

"But we're already engaged, so we can take things one step at a time if we want to date."

"Oh, you're engaged? Oh, I see... Huh? Say it again, what?"

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, whose eyes were wide with disbelief, Luo Bai repeated in a calm tone, "You heard me right, Hiratsuka-sensei. Yukino and I are already engaged. When we reach the right age, we will get married and start a family, which is what you understand."

The straightforward and direct words made Yukino's heart race even faster, even though she had almost calmed down.

To become husband and wife, to start a family...

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka, upon hearing this, she immediately took a step back, looking at Luo Bai and Yukino in disbelief.

"You, you two are actually related like this?!"

Forcing herself to calm down, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the two of them and said, "So, you two are now living together?"

"No, not really, but we're neighbors now. My apartment is right next to Yukino's."

Isn't that about the same?

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt extremely unbalanced. She was almost thirty years old and had never had a boyfriend, while two of her students were already engaged.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had no intention of continuing the conversation. She turned around and walked out step by step, her mind starting to ponder whether she had any childhood sweethearts she could try pursuing.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and asked, "Hiratsuka-sensei, are you single?"

Yukino nodded, a barely suppressed smile playing on her lips, and said, "Single, I've never had a boyfriend, and I've heard that I've failed at several blind dates."

"Oh! That's surprising. I thought Hiratsuka-sensei would be very popular as a high school teacher."

"I'm not really sure either. I guess it's because of his personality, and he sometimes likes to resort to his fists."

When Yukino said this, Luo Bai understood.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka's interruption ended, the two spent some more time finally finishing their lunch.

Sipping his juice, Luo Bai glanced at the clubroom and said, "Yukino, don't you think this place is a bit empty? Should we add some more things?"

"Arrangements?"

Looking at Luo Bai, Yukino frowned slightly and said, "This is a club to help people in need. We don't need anything else."

Wagging his finger, Luo Bai smiled and said, "I think it's still necessary. A comfortable environment makes it easier for people to lower their guard when they come for help and speak their minds about their difficulties, right? Just like a psychologist's workplace is always decorated in a warm and inviting way. We don't need too much decoration here, just a vase and some tea and snacks will do."

Yukino listened to Luo Bai's words and felt that they made some sense, so she nodded and said, "Flowers, tea and snacks, these are fine. It's nice to have some tea while resting. Well then, let's buy some on the way back."

"There's one more thing." Luo Bai raised his index finger and looked at Yukino, saying, "The Service Club has only had you as a member so far. Haven't you considered recruiting someone? Aren't there any suitable candidates?"

Yukino's expression turned serious: "Hiratsuka-sensei mentioned adding people, but I didn't agree. I'm just doing what I want to do, not because I want to do it with anyone."

"Then how did you get me in?"

"..." Yukino paused for a moment, then looked at Luo Bai and said, "If I refuse, will you not join?"

"Of course not, I will still join."

"Isn't that enough? You wouldn't listen to me anyway. No one can stop you from doing what you're going to do, and I'm very clear about that. Besides, if it were you, you might actually be able to help me."

After a day, Yukino's expression has begun to show signs of relaxation.

Volume 1: Chapter 8 Going Out on Saturday (2/2)

The Service Club didn't get any requests today, but Yukino was used to it. When it was almost time, she left the school with Luo Bai.

Over the next two days, Luo Bai completely adapted to campus life at Zongwu High School.

After class, I would have lunch with Yukino at the club at noon, and in the afternoon I would do homework, read books and chat with Yukino in the Service Club.

Yukino talked about her life over the past few years, while Luo Bai talked about his studies in China and his travels around the world.

The gap of several years that we hadn't seen each other was gradually made up over these few days.

The two also discussed visiting Yukino's family, but since Yukino's parents had something to do today, they decided to postpone it to Friday.

After school on Friday, I went to visit them and saw Yukino's parents again after a long time. We had dinner together and then I went home.

Although she was quite strict with her two daughters, Yukino's mother liked Luo Bai very much. She knew from a young age that Luo Bai was very outstanding and had long had her eye on him, wanting him to become the son-in-law of the Yukino family. Now, it has finally come true.

What Yukino and Rakuhaku were relieved about was that Yukinoshita Haruno wasn't there; she seemed to have gone on a trip with her university classmates and wouldn't be back until next weekend.

Although Luo Bai wasn't afraid of Yang Nai, he was well aware of how troublesome Yang Nai was, so it was quite good that he didn't see her this time.

On Saturday, after lunch, Luo Bai called Yukino, who was reading at home, and the two went out together.

Today, Luo Bai plans to buy a desktop computer and a laptop.

On the way to the computer store, Luo Bai asked, "Does Yukino usually use a computer?"

Yukino's outfit was a little different from usual today. Her long, flowing hair was tied into a single ponytail, making her look even more radiant.

She changed into a dress, and as soon as she stepped out, she kept attracting Luo Bai's attention.

Yukino naturally sensed Luo Bai's aggressive gaze and looked straight ahead, saying, "Yes, but it's just looking up information online..."

Yukino stopped speaking before she could finish.

Following Yukino's gaze, Luo Bai smiled upon seeing it.

On the right-hand wall, a pure white cat was walking slowly with elegant steps.

Upon seeing this, Yukino was naturally captivated, staring intently at the cat without blinking.

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Yukino really likes cats. The covers of the novels she reads have cat patterns on them, and she has a lot of cat-related ornaments and dolls at home."

Coming to her senses, Yukino blushed slightly and turned her head away, saying insincerely, "No, it's just that I find her more pleasing to the eye."

Hmm~~

Yeah? "

After taking out his phone and searching, Luo Bai said, "There's a pet store near the computer store. Want to get a pet? You can go and pick out a cat."

Yukino was clearly tempted, but the next second she shook her head: "No, my family doesn't allow me to keep pets."
