My fiancée Yukino

After finishing their meal, everyone left McDonald's.

It was still early, so Luo Bai and the others planned to go home for dinner first, and then head to the hotel.

On the way back, Mai Sakurajima said, "That Saki Kawasaki is probably trying to save up for her tuition, right? University tuition. She's the eldest of three children, so she's bound to mature early. And in her second year of high school, she should be starting to think about her future. The fact that she's working so hard means Saki Kawasaki probably wants to go to university."

"Yes, I think so too."

Watching the sun gradually set, Luo Bai said, "As long as we're sure that Kawasaki Saki hasn't become a delinquent, then everything is fine, and there's definitely a way to resolve it."

Volume 1: Chapter 77 The Person Has Been Found (2/2)

Back home, they cooked a simple dinner, rested for a bit, and then Yukino called home to arrange for a car to take them to the hotel.

If I changed into a formal dress, it would be impossible for me to go there by myself, and calling a taxi would be quite troublesome.

After Luo Bai changed into his casual suit, he waited for ten minutes before Yukino finally changed into her formal dress, a dark blue long dress, and her long hair, which had been loose, was tied up.

Emerging from the bedroom, Yukino stood somewhat nervously in front of Luo Bai, looking at him and asking, "How do I look in this outfit?"

"Yes, she's beautiful. As expected of my Yukino."

Luo Bai walked over with a smile, gently put his arm around Yukino's waist, and looked at her exquisite makeup, saying, "When we get to the hotel later, you will definitely stand out from the crowd."

Luo Bai's praise made Yukino very happy. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. There's also Senpai."

Just as she finished speaking, the apartment door was pushed open, and Mai Sakurajima came over.

Unlike Yukino's dark blue dress, Sakurajima Mai wore a pink off-shoulder dress, making her look incredibly youthful.

However, because of her amazing figure, Mai Sakurajima looks more mature than people her age would normally expect.

Holding her small bag, Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "Is everything ready? Then let's set off."

"almost."

After checking the time, Yukino said, "Let's go downstairs first, the car should be here soon."

The three of them went downstairs and just then saw a car slowly driving up; it was the Yukinoshita family's car.

After getting in the car, the three headed directly to the Royal Okura Hotel.

Inside the car, Mai Sakurajima recalled, "The Royal Okura Hotel, I did go there once. After filming wrapped up a TV series I was in, the whole crew held a celebration banquet there. It's a pretty expensive hotel."

"It's a five-star hotel, so it's normal for it to be a bit pricey. Besides, I checked the online reviews, and this hotel is frequented by celebrities, so it's quite popular online." While scrolling through her phone, Luo Bai said, "By the way, senior, is it alright for you to come with us so casually?"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded: "It's alright. I just spoke with my agency. After all, I was accompanying the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family. Unlike before, I've not only signed with a new agency, but I've also found a new backer. In Chiba, no one will easily mess with the Yukinoshita family."

Hearing Mai Sakurajima's words, Yukino felt quite helpless; it was indeed true.

However, she didn't dislike it and was quite understanding of Mai Sakurajima.

"Senior, are you planning to pursue acting as a career? If so, you really don't need to worry about those unspoken rules. If someone sets their sights on you, just contact your agency directly. Then let me know, and I can help you out."

Yukino has always despised unspoken rules and unspoken rules.

Since her family has the resources, Yukino naturally wouldn't mind using them.

Mai Sakurajima said happily, "Don't worry, I'm not some naive newbie. I know how to protect myself."

Soon, the car arrived at the Royal Okura Hotel.

The driver didn't leave after dropping them off. His job assignment was to take the two young ladies back after they finished their business.

After getting out of the car and straightening his clothes, Luo Bai looked at the two ladies and said with a smile, "Let's go, it's time to go up."

Yukino nodded, walked over, and took Luo Bai's arm.

As for Mai Sakurajima, although she didn't care about the curious looks from others, she didn't choose to come over and link arms with Luo Bai as well.

She smiled and said, "Yes, if I do that, even with Yukino by my side, there will definitely be news about me and Junior Luo Bai tomorrow."

It might be gossip news, or even a love triangle?

Luo Bai rolled her eyes: "Then forget it, I still want to live a peaceful life."

Yukino couldn't help but laugh too.

Although she didn't mind Sakurajima Mai linking arms with Luo Bai, what Sakurajima Mai said did make sense.

So, the three of them ended up with Yukino walking in the middle, with Luo Bai and Sakurajima Mai walking on either side of her.

The three of them took the elevator directly to the top floor of the hotel, which was the floor where the Angel's Stairs bar was located.

The hotel staff did not stop Luo Bai and his companions upon seeing them, so they easily pushed open the bar door and went inside.

The dim lighting, exquisite decor, and the soft piano music all contribute to the bar's sophisticated ambiance.

"Hmm, as expected of a five-star hotel bar, the style is quite nice."

After looking around, Luo Bai saw Kawasaki Saki dressed as a bartender at the bar.

Kawasaki Saki was busy wiping the cups and didn't notice Luo Bai and the others.

Her long blue hair, even longer than Yukino's, was tied up in a bun, making her look much more mature than she actually was, despite being only seventeen years old.

"Let's go over and talk to her."

With the two girls by his side, Luo Bai sat down directly in the seat in front of Kawasaki Saki.

When she saw a guest coming, Saki Kawasaki immediately looked up and then froze.

"Huh? Luo Bai? Yukinoshita?"

When Kawasaki Saki saw Sakurajima Mai, she was even more surprised. "You are... Sakurajima Mai-senpai?"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "Hello, Saki Kawasaki."

Upon hearing that the other person had called out her name, and then glancing at Luo Bai and Yukino, Kawasaki Saki immediately understood: "You've come to see me?"

“That’s right.” Luo Bai nodded. “Your younger brother came to our club hoping we could talk to you and tell you not to keep working so hard. Your younger brother and sister are very worried about you.”

Thinking of her younger siblings, Kawasaki Saki's expression softened a little, but she quickly frowned and said, "I don't need you to interfere. I know what to do."

“No, you don’t know.” Luo Bai stared at the other person and said, “I can guess that you want to save up your tuition fees yourself, right? Zongwu High School is a key high school, but the tuition fees for public high schools are not bad. However, the tuition fees for university after graduating from high school are not a small amount. You want to go to university? But if I may be frank, if you continue to work in this way, then forget about university.”

Luo Bai's words were very blunt, which made Kawasaki Saki's anger rise.

"What do you mean?"

Yukino then said, "It's very simple. Your grades have dropped since your first year of high school, right? That's because you've been spending all your time working part-time. Saving money isn't something that can be done in a day or two. If you keep doing this, you'll have even less time to study, and the gap between your grades and others will only widen."

At this point, Yukino stopped and waited for Kawasaki Saki's reaction.

Book 1: Chapter 78 Persuasion and Unexpected Situations (1/2)

The undeniable facts silenced Kawasaki Saki completely, and her face darkened.

Her grades have indeed dropped, after all, her current job requires her to work from night until the next morning, leaving her with very little time to study.

Moreover, in order to prepare for work the next night, I even had to secretly use my time during school classes to catch up on sleep and get enough rest, which resulted in even less free time for me.

After a moment of silence, Kawasaki Saki said, "I have my own plans, you don't need to say anything more."

Resting his chin on his hand, Luo Bai turned his head to look at the bar's ambiance, saying, "Is it really necessary to spend time and energy saving money now, and then use a portion of that money to attend tutoring and cram schools in your senior year of high school to improve your grades? That's certainly one way, but I don't think someone who crams at the last minute can achieve the same results as someone who takes things one step at a time and works steadily. But at that time, are you really confident you can get good grades and get into a good university?"

"What do you people know?"

Saki Kawasaki slammed the rag on the table and glared at Luo Bai, saying, "I don't have a privileged family like yours where you don't have to worry about anything. I have younger siblings, and as the older sister, I have to figure out how to handle these things myself!"

Luo Bai didn't refute, but nodded and said, "That's right, you've said a lot. Yukino and I, our family background has indeed given us an advantage in some areas, but that's all. Do you know that in order to smoothly take over the family company in the future, I've been studying non-stop since I was ten years old? I finished learning junior high school knowledge after graduating from elementary school, and now I've basically finished learning high school knowledge as well."

Furthermore, during my junior high school years and my first year of high school, I hardly experienced school life. Every day, I was taught by specialized teachers, learning various aspects of company management, attending various meetings, and traveling with my parents to different places for research and report writing. You don't think our lives are really easy, do you? We're not some rich kids who just want to coast through life.

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Kawasaki Saki was speechless for a moment; she hadn't expected Luo Bai to say that.

However, Luo Bai didn't stop there. He continued, "And let's not talk about me. Let's assume you have the same family background. Could you, like Yukino, learn magic, tea ceremony, horsemanship, and aikido to a professional level at the age of 17, and maintain your grades among the top in your grade?"

"..."

Saki Kawasaki fell silent again.

Mai Sakurajima looked at Yukino in surprise: "Yukino, you can ride horses? Is riding horses fun?"

Yukino nodded: "It's not difficult for beginners to practice, the main thing is to learn how to get along with horses. But if you want to practice well, it's quite hard."

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki's expression gradually calmed down, Luo Bai said, "It seems you understand to some extent that even without family connections, Yukino and I could have gotten into good universities on our own. I don't object to working part-time to earn money, but your mistake was not explaining things clearly to your family and causing them worry. Also, have you forgotten about scholarships? Soubu High School has always had a scholarship system, with the top five students in each grade receiving scholarships at the end of each semester. Furthermore, students with excellent grades can get recommendations from the school to prestigious universities, which can reduce part of their tuition fees. And universities also have scholarships, and they are much more plentiful than in high school."

Yukino nodded: "Working late into the night like this every day is absolutely not okay. Besides, you're not an adult yet, so you can't work in places like this. We can keep this a secret, but if it gets out from somewhere else, it'll be hard to handle. If you want to work, choose weekends or holidays."

Kawasaki Saki let out a heavy sigh and shook her head helplessly: "Why does that kid Taishi think so much..."

Picking up a rag, wiping the last cup clean and setting it aside, Kawasaki Saki looked at the three of them, bowed, and said, "I understand. Thank you for coming today. I'm going to resign from my job now and then go home."

Watching Kawasaki Saki leave, Luo Bai belatedly realized and said, "Ah, I forgot to order some drinks."

Mai Sakurajima, standing nearby, said with a smile, "This is a bar, you can't drink here."

. "

Can't I order milk?

Luo Bai shrugged, turned his head slightly, and glanced discreetly at the corner of the bar.

From the moment he entered, he had a vague sense of danger, and now he finally pinpointed the source: the two men in the corner of the bar.

Judging from the looks of it, the other party is probably not an ordinary person.

Although somewhat curious, Luo Bai glanced at the two girls beside him and suppressed his curiosity, deciding to wait and see.

Unfortunately, Yukino saw all of Luo Bai's actions.

The two of them spend every day together, and Yukino is now quite familiar with Luo Bai's little tricks.

Gently tugging at Luo Bai's sleeve, Yukino asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Looking back, Luo Bai shook his head and said softly, "Let's talk about it after we get out."

Yukino instinctively sensed that something was wrong and could only lean on Luo Bai's shoulder.

Five minutes later, Saki Kawasaki changed back into her school uniform and came out with her schoolbag.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Luo Bai stood up and said, "It's alright, let's go then."

Just then, two customers who were about to leave the bar suddenly said, "Why is the door closed? Hey, waiter, come open the door!"

But no one answered.

Luo Bai frowned, noticing a faint mist appearing around him. He immediately used his ability to condense the air and create a barrier, blocking out the veiled mist.

"You three, stand behind me and don't run around."

Kawasaki Saki didn't quite understand, but after seeing what Yukino and Sakurajima Mai were doing, she still came up behind Luo Bai.

"What exactly is going on?"

"It's simple, we're in trouble."

As soon as Luo Bai finished speaking, all the customers in the bar collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.

Looking towards the corner, the two people Luo Bai had been observing earlier slowly stood up.

"I didn't expect that a few people hadn't fainted. Is there something wrong with the effectiveness of this stuff?"

“Impossible, the entire hotel was exposed to it through the ventilation ducts.” Shaking his head, the long-haired, cold-looking man in a suit said, “But it doesn’t matter, these are all of good quality, and one of them is a big star.”

Hearing the two men's undisguised words, Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and took out his phone.

The signal was cut off.

Volume 1: Chapter 79 Ghouls? (2/2)

Putting away his phone, Luo Bai looked at the two men in front of him with interest and asked, "Who exactly are you people? This whole hotel is quite extravagant."

Although the situation was a bit off, Luo Bai remained completely calm.

This reflects confidence in their own strength, and also a desire to clear up the situation here. It should be discovered by Masato Masatsu soon, and the other party should arrive shortly.

The man with short hair, clearly the leader, patted the long-haired man on the shoulder and said coldly, "Alright, hurry up and take care of these people, the others are waiting."
