My fiancée Yukino

..........

Sunday, ten in the morning.

Slowly opening his eyes, Luo Bai felt an arm placed on his chest.

Turning around, I saw Yukino sleeping soundly beside me.

I glanced at the alarm clock and realized it was already 10 o'clock.

"This is the first time I've woken up this late. Last night was definitely too crazy."

Rubbing his still slightly sore lower back, Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Last night, my wish finally came true. Yukino, my childhood friend, has finally become my woman. I feel so accomplished.

However, before he could gloat for more than a few seconds, Luo Bai felt a series of stinging pains on his back. These were the marks that Yukino had scratched him the night before, and the skin had been broken.

Not paying much attention, Luo Bai yawned, turned to the side and pulled Yukino into his arms, feeling the girl's smooth skin, and felt a little sleepy again.

At this moment, because of the loud noise, Yukino finally woke up.

With her eyes half-open, Yukino looked at Luo Bai groggily, clearly not having had enough sleep yet.

However, she looked so cute in person that Luo Bai couldn't resist and kissed Yukino while hugging her.

"Woo!!!"

After a few seconds, Yukino finally came to her senses, but she could only let Luo Bai bully her like this.

After a while, Luo Bai finally released Yukino and said with a smile, "Good morning, Yukino."

Looking at the alarm clock, Yukino pinched Luo Bai's arm in an annoyed tone: "It's almost noon, why are you still saying good morning?"

"It's alright, it's still morning until noon."

Shaking her head, Yukino yawned, then felt a wave of fatigue and pain in her body, and couldn't help but frown.

"Is it still in pain?"

"It's all thanks to you." After replying, Yukino abandoned her intention to get up and nudged Luo Bai, saying, "I'm hungry."

After entrusting everything to Luo Bai, Yukino's brows now showed a hint of maturity, and her tone of voice became increasingly gentle.

"Okay, I'll go cook. What do you want to eat?"

Yukino turned to the side, pulled the blanket over her shoulders, and said, "I want to eat ribs."

"Braised, sweet and sour, deep-fried, or made into soup?"

Faced with the option presented by Luo Bai, Yukino hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sweet and sour, I guess."

"Okay, then I'll make some sweet and sour pork ribs, but it might take a while. How about I bring you some snacks first?"

After Yukino agreed, Luo Bai helped Yukino tidy her hair, then got up, dressed, and left the room.

Now that she was alone in the room, Yukino couldn't help but smile as she smelled the strange lingering scent. She rolled up the covers and continued to rest.

Volume 1: Chapter 92 Mai Sakurajima's Press Conference (1/2)

After giving Yukino some snacks to tide her over, Luo Bai washed up and began preparing lunch.

I just bought the treadmill yesterday, and the delivery person called me. It was delivered right over ten minutes later.

After having someone move it in, disassemble and reassemble it, and inspect it, Luo Bai stamped and signed for it.

The items were indeed good, but the first person to run up wasn't Luo Bai himself, but rather his two kittens.

After setting the speed to the slowest setting, the two kittens actually ran up and played on their own, so they seem to really enjoy exercise.

Looking at the treadmill, Luo Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, I need to exercise more to ensure a happy and fulfilling nightlife in the future!

At 11:30, Luo Bai returned to his bedroom.

Yukino had already woken up and recovered somewhat. Seeing Luo Bai come to call her, she simply got up.

Seeing Yukino get out of bed in her nightgown, Luo Bai came over, hugged her, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Yukino nodded, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Yeah, much better, but I'm still a little sleepy."

"It's okay. If you're sleepy, we can take a nap after lunch. Yukino, go wash up. Lunch will be ready soon."

"kindness."

After Yukino left, Luo Bai opened the window to ventilate the room, made the bed, and then returned to the kitchen.

As for the bed sheets from last night, Luo Bai had already changed them before going to sleep, and they've been washed and are now hanging out to dry on the balcony.

Twenty minutes later, Yukino came out of the shower, feeling much better.

Luo Bai had already prepared lunch, with three dishes and a soup laid out on the table.

Seeing Yukino come out, Luo Bai smiled and waved, "Come and eat."

Come and sit down. Yukino patted her little belly and happily picked up her bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm gonna start now."

Yukino picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her mouth, and her appetite was immediately whetted.

While eating, Yukino asked about Mai Sakurajima's press conference.

"Is your presentation going to start this afternoon, senior?"

"Yes, it will be streamed live online at 2 PM. Do you want to watch it then?"

“Yes, I’ll watch it.” Yukino nodded, took a sip of soup, and said, “After you finish eating, rest in the living room for a while. Don’t go back to your room for a nap.”

Luo Bai had no objection; at worst, he could just bring the blanket over. With the recent weather, there was no need to worry about catching a cold.

Because she was very hungry, Yukino inevitably ate more for lunch today.

Although the three dishes and one soup were quite a lot, Luo Bai was also very hungry, so he finished them all in the end.

After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Luo Bai returned to the living room and hugged Yukino, who had already turned on her Switch, saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to rest?"

Clicking on the Zelda game icon, Yukino shook her head and said, "No, I don't feel so tired after eating. Besides, isn't a sequel coming out in May? I need to finish this game quickly so I can play the new one later."

Luo Bai laughed and said, "Haha, it feels like Yukino has become a game girl. Your addiction to games is no less than mine."

"No."

Yukino said tsunderely, "I just enjoy experiencing the different worlds presented in games, just like reading books."

"Yes, yes, the same."

Luo Bai smiled and didn't refute her. He just held Yukino and watched her play games.

Although Yukino doesn't play games much, she's incredibly smart. She hasn't looked at any guides yet, and she's already defeated the first legendary Pokémon and is on her way to the second. Along the way, she's also collecting Yahaha and making great progress in the shrines.

When they finished playing at 2 PM, Yukino stopped the game and asked Luo Bai to use his phone to turn on the live stream of the press conference and project it onto the TV.

Just then, the press conference began, and Mai Sakurajima and her manager made their official entrance.

Today, Mai Sakurajima wasn't wearing her school uniform; instead, she was dressed in a white long dress, looking radiant and beautiful, with a confident smile on her face.

After the press conference officially began, the manager first announced Mai Sakurajima's official transfer to another agency, and then...

The Q&A session with reporters in the audience.

Just as Mai Sakurajima said before, these reporters had been bribed in advance and did not ask any malicious questions.

Fifteen minutes later, the press conference ended smoothly, and Mai Sakurajima's press conference immediately topped the trending charts on social media.

After many days, Mai Sakurajima's name has finally reappeared in the public eye.

Just five minutes after the press conference ended, Mai Sakurajima called Luo Bai.

After answering the phone, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Good afternoon, senior. We watched the press conference."

Sakurajima Mai said happily, "Good afternoon! How was my performance? Not bad, right?"

"Hmm, very good. As expected of a child star who entered the entertainment industry at a young age, every move you make is very composed. So, senior, now that the press conference is over, are you planning to come back?"

"Yeah, I'm coming back. I've been away for two days." Mai Sakurajima said with a smile, glancing at her manager who was on the phone. "I don't have any work for the next few days, so I can focus on my studies. But next weekend, besides a magazine shoot, I also have a TV program shoot to do. Looks like I'm really going to be busy."

Because Luo Bai had the speakerphone on, Yukino, who was standing next to him, also heard it. She smiled and said, "This is a good thing. After all, you've just made your comeback, so you need more exposure. Since you're coming back later, let's have a good celebration tonight."

"Sure, let's go out to eat! It's on me!" Mai Sakurajima said happily. "When I get back, we can discuss what to eat together! Okay, that's all for now, see you later."

After ending the call, Luo Bai put down his phone and said, "It seems that my senior is very happy at her new company. I can tell from the tone of her voice."

Yukino nodded, controlling Link to open a treasure chest, and said, "I didn't watch many TV dramas before, but after meeting you, I watched some clips and saw your performances in some movies and TV dramas. You're really outstanding and talented. Besides, you're still very young and have a lot of room for development. Any discerning entertainment company would want to sign you. And this company treats its artists very well, so you won't be mistreated there."

Not to mention, Yukino was standing by Sakurajima Mai's side, which gave Sakurajima Mai a strong support.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk to her when she gets back."

After giving Yukino a kiss, Luo Bai said, "Let's continue playing the game."

Volume 1: Chapter 93 Evening Dinner (2/2)

An hour later, Mai Sakurajima returned in a company car.

Mai Sakurajima is satisfied with her current residence, so she did not ask the company to arrange a new place for her.

The company also knows who Mai Sakurajima's neighbors are, and they are very confident about the safety of this apartment.

Mai Sakurajima went home first to change out of the long dress she wore to the press conference, removed her makeup, and changed into some casual clothes before finally going next door.

"I'm back!"

Upon entering, Mai Sakurajima happily picked up the cat Coffee, who was nestled on the sofa, and sat down, saying, "Although the press conference was nice, I feel more at ease and comfortable here."

"The place of work and the place of rest are naturally different."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "But senior, besides going to school every day, you also have to work on weekends. That's quite a busy schedule. Can you manage?"

Mai Sakurajima responded with a confident smile: "What's so tiring about that? I used to work seven days a week, filming during the day and then participating in radio programs, commercial shoots, and variety show recordings at night, non-stop. Compared to that, going to school is nothing!"

Seven days a week...

After hearing this, Yukino and Luo Bai both fell silent; it was truly terrifying.

While it's impossible to have your own scenes all day while filming, if you're a main actor, you'll generally be on set. Not to mention younger actors like Mai Sakurajima, who need to spend even more time on set learning.

After finishing work during the day, you still have to participate in the recording of various programs at night. Working seven days a week without rest, you really can't keep up if you don't have a strong ability to withstand pressure.

Luo Bai said with emotion, "No wonder you've made quite a name for yourself, senior. You deserve it all. But you should slow down a bit from now on. It's not good to be so tense all the time. You have a long career ahead of you, senior. You have many years to develop."

“Yes, that’s what my manager told me too,” Mai Sakurajima said with a smile. “My new manager has managed several young actors before and knows that I need more experience now, so she won’t be giving me too much work for the next year or two. It will mainly consist of cameo roles in movies and supporting roles in TV series. During the summer and winter breaks, she’ll find me one or two well-funded TV series to audition for lead roles. Everything is arranged.”

It's clear that Mai Sakurajima is also very satisfied with her new manager, and has already made general plans for the next year or two.

After discussing Mai Sakurajima's work, the three of them started talking about what to eat that evening.

However, it was mainly Yukino and Sakurajima Mai who discussed it, while Luo Bai was responsible for contacting Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman Hikigaya in the group and calling them out to join, along with Hachiman Hikigaya's sister, Komachi.

After mentioning it in the group chat, the two quickly responded and agreed to have dinner together.

Yukino and Mai Sakurajima also found a highly-rated restaurant in the city center and booked a private room.

After sharing the restaurant's address in the group chat, everyone agreed to meet at the restaurant at 5 PM.

"Oh, right." Mai Sakurajima suddenly remembered and looked at Luo Bai and Yukino, saying, "Should we invite Kobayashi, Tohru, and Kanna as well?"

Luo Bai waved his hand: "Sister Lin and the others have just found a new house and are preparing to move in, so let's not invite them today. Besides, Hachiman and Yui don't know Sister Lin and the others."

"That's it, okay then."

Yukino saved the game and exited, then picked up the kitten beside her and said, "Kobayashi-nee said that after we move and settle in next week, she'll invite us over. Senpai, you should come too, Kobayashi-nee also told me she wanted to invite you."

Mai Sakurajima readily agreed: "Sure, let's go together then. What day is it?"

"It should be Saturday afternoon."

“Saturday afternoon.” Mai Sakurajima nodded. “I have to record a program on Saturday, so I probably can’t come with you, but I’ll try to finish as early as possible and come over. The magazine shoot is on Sunday. Ah, I’ll have to talk to Yui about this later. We mentioned it to the magazine, and after seeing the photos of Yui and Saki Kawasaki, they were very satisfied and immediately agreed to add two more models!”

This is really good news.

Luo Bai said with a smile, "As long as I can do well in my part-time job next week, I think I should be able to have a relatively stable and high-paying part-time job in Kawasaki in the future."

Sakurajima Mai affirmed, "That's right. Kawasaki has excellent qualities in all aspects and is very suitable to be a fashion model. If she's willing, we can have her affiliated with our company. We'll give her priority consideration for similar fashion magazine shoots. In other words, I told my manager that Kawasaki wants to..."
