My fiancée Yukino

With her long, loose hair tied into twin ponytails, Yukino, having washed her hands, looked at Yui Yuigahama and said, "Making cookies isn't difficult. Now follow my steps and try making them once. Let me see how good you are."

Yui Yuigahama nodded confidently: "Okay, I'll do my best!"

Luo Bai then called on Hachiman Hikigaya, intending to go back to the club to retrieve the tea set.

We'll definitely be eating a lot of cookies next, and we can't do without tea.

On the way to the Service Club, Luo Bai glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya beside him and said with a smile, "What's wrong, not used to it?"

With no one else around, Hachiman Hikigaya nodded directly: "That's right. I don't know what Hiratsuka-sensei is thinking. Does she want me to come here and get a beating from a popular guy?"

"Haha, you never know, but I think Ms. Hiratsuka is doing this for your own good," Luo Bai shrugged and said. "Although I haven't been here long, only a week, I can tell she's a very responsible teacher. As for you, you haven't said more than a few words to anyone this week. According to the teacher's analysis, you are indeed a bit too withdrawn, so naturally she wants to help you correct this, after all, there are still two years left in high school."

Hachiman Hikigaya said with a regretful look, "But I really don't want to do that. Since you've observed so carefully, you must know that there are already many small groups in the class. I'm really not interested in that kind of atmosphere, and I don't want to get involved. And aren't you the same? Your relationships with other people are all superficial. I've never seen you have a really good relationship with anyone."

Luo Bai had been observing for a week, and Hachiman Hikigaya was naturally also observing this new transfer student. Moreover, because they sat at desks in front of and behind each other, Hachiman Hikigaya was able to discover more details.

Luo Bai wasn't surprised at all by Hachiman Hikigaya's analysis: "That's true. Maintaining your current relationships with the people in your class is enough. Hachiman, you're quite an interesting person. I guess Hiratsuka-sensei noticed something about you, which is why she brought you here. After all, Yukino isn't in our class, and I'm new here too. Plus, the Service Club activities will allow you to interact with more people. I have a suggestion for you: you can join for now and get used to it. If you still don't feel comfortable later, you can leave. I guarantee Hiratsuka-sensei won't cause you any trouble."

Hachiman Hikigaya paused for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. But if there are no requests, can I decide whether to come or not? I don't want to disturb your time together, and I don't want to be forced to watch your lovey-dovey moments."

"Thank you so much. To be honest, I haven't seen Yukino for several years, and I really need time to make up for the gap."

Then, Luo Bai also mentioned that he knew about the car accident.

Hachiman Hikigaya's emotions remained unchanged: "This matter can't be blamed on Yukinoshita, after all, it was my own idea to rush out. The driver also handled it very well. I was just lying down for a while, and the dog was rescued, so it's the best outcome I can hope for."

However, judging from Hachiman Hikigaya's appearance, he still doesn't know that the dog he rescued belonged to Yui Yuigahama.

Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what Yui Yuigahama did back then.

Upon arriving at the service department, the two took the kettle and tea set and returned to the cooking classroom.

No and Yuihama worked quickly and had already prepared the dough.

"You're pretty quick! Keep it up!"

Looking at Yui Yuigahama's dough, it's not too bad, hopefully it will be successful on the first try.

Yui Yuigahama returned a bright smile: "Hehe, I think so too, maybe we can succeed this time!"

Sitting down and taking out his phone, Luo Bai nodded and said, "Good luck, Hachiman and I are just waiting to taste it."

Hachiman Hikigaya also had some expectations, since based on the current situation, it seemed likely that he could succeed.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Yukino and Yui each opened the oven door and took out the baked cookies.

Yukino's work was as high-quality as ever; the pale yellow cookies and the aroma made them look delicious.

But Yui Yuigahama's side...

Yukino said in disbelief, "How... how did they do that? Our steps were exactly the same!"

On the grill in front of Yui Yuigahama, pieces of dark brown, unidentified objects lay on the grill, emanating an ominous aura.

Luo Bai walked over, looked at the cookies Yui Yuigahama was eating, and shook his head: "Even Superman would end up in the hospital if he ate these."

Upon seeing this, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately said, "Um, can I quit now? I'm still young."

"Ah! How could you do this?!"

Yui Yuigahama said angrily, "How would you know it's bad if you haven't even tried it? What if it just doesn't look very appetizing, but tastes great?"

Luo Bai raised his hand in a gesture and looked at Yui Yuigahama, saying, "Then you should try it first."

"Hmph, let's give it a try!"

As she spoke, Yui Yuigahama picked up a dark-colored cookie, looked at it from left to right, and finally had to admit, "That might really be poisonous."

Volume 1: Chapter 13 Joining a Club (1/2)

As for Luo Bai himself, he had already picked up a cookie made by Yukino and taken a bite.

"Yes, it tastes just as good as usual."

Hearing Luo Bai's praise, Yukino raised her chin slightly: "You don't need to tell me that."

Yuigahama Yui looked over curiously: "Does Luo Bai often eat the cookies made by Yukinoshita?"

Luo Bai didn't answer, but smiled and pointed to the plate of black cookies: "Now you need to think about further improving your cookie-making method, right? Yukino, guide her to make them again. Don't do it yourself. Just keep an eye on her every step and don't let her do it on her own."

Yukino nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand. Let's begin. There's not much time, but we can try a couple more times."

After Yui Yuigahama tried a cookie made by Yukino, she immediately mustered up her energy and started trying it a second time.

The second time was a bit better than the first, but halfway through, Yui Yuigahama always got itchy and tried to add all sorts of other things to the dough.

After stopping her twice, Yukino suddenly realized, "Now I know how you failed, Yui-san. Could you please follow my instructions carefully before making it?"

Yui Yuigahama smiled sheepishly: "Well, I just thought adding something would make it taste even better..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she was met with Yukino's death stare.

"Yuigahama-san, may I ask if you usually cook at home?"

"Oh, well, my mom does the cooking at home."

Yukino nodded, tidying up the kitchen counter as she said, "Since you're a beginner, don't try to use your clueless cleverness when you're just starting out. Don't forget why you came here today."

Having said that, Yui Yuigahama stuck out her tongue, knowing what she had to do.

"I see..."

This last time, things finally got a bit normal, but Yui Yuigahama's actions still gave Yukino a headache.

Fortunately, I still managed to make a cookie that looked relatively normal.

Looking at the batch of dark-colored cookies, Luo Bai gestured to Hachiman Hikigaya: "Come on, show your worth and give your evaluation."

"Why don't you eat?"

Luo Bai shrugged, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "I've finished the cookies Yukino made. I'm a little full now. I still have room in my stomach for dinner tonight."

Hachiman Hikigaya twitched his lips, picked up a cookie, and sniffed it: "It smells pretty normal."

Under Yui Yuigahama's watchful gaze, Hachiman Hikigaya cautiously took a bite.

Thankfully, that horrible taste didn't appear in my mouth; it was actually quite normal.

After taking another bite and savoring it, Hachiman Hikigaya commented, "Hmm, it's alright, but it's a bit too sweet. Did they put in too much sugar?"

Yui Yuigahama blushed and nodded: "Yeah, my hand shook a little when I put it in, but luckily it wasn't too much."

After finishing a cookie, Hachiman Hikigaya took a sip of tea and said, "In my personal opinion, as long as you remember this process and don't add anything randomly, and consider the health of the person you're giving it to, there shouldn't be any major problems. The aroma and taste are both very good. Try it a few more times and you'll get used to it. Hey, are you really not going to eat any?"

Luo Bai shook his head and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"We're full, but we didn't make much, you can help yourselves."

Yukino picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded in approval: "Hmm, it's not bad. Just reduce the sugar and get more familiar with the process."

Yui Yuigahama also tried a piece, and the sweetness was acceptable to her. She happily exclaimed, "Great! We finally succeeded! Thank you everyone!"

For now, the request from Yui Yuigahama can be considered a success.

After finishing the cookies and tea, and cleaning up the kitchen counter, today's club activities can come to an end.

After returning the key, Luo Bai went back to the Service Club and left the teaching building with Yukino and the other two.

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, Luo Bai asked, "So, do you want to join the club?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was still a little hesitant, but finally nodded: "I'll join for now, but you promised me that if I don't feel comfortable later, I can choose to leave."

“No problem.” Luo Bai nodded with a smile. “Go to Hiratsuka-sensei tomorrow to get a club application form, fill it out, and then give it to me.”

Upon hearing this, Yukino glanced at Luo Bai but did not question him about fulfilling his duties as the head of the Service Club.

She didn't really want to interact with other boys anyway, so she could leave it to Luo Bai to handle.

Upon arriving at the school gate, Luo Bai pointed in the direction of the bus stop and said, "Yukino and I are going that way, what about you guys?"

Upon seeing that Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman Hikigaya were on the other side, Luo Bai said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Yukino also said from the side, "Goodbye."

Hachiman Hikigaya was clearly not used to talking to his classmates about this, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, goodbye."

Yui Yuigahama waved happily: "See you tomorrow, thank you!"

After Luo Bai and Yukino left, Yui Yuigahama tapped her chin with her finger and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, saying, "Hachiman, is there something more to their relationship?"

"Hachiman...when did I get this name?" Hachiman muttered to himself.

Hachiman said, "You're pretty slow on the uptake, just realized that?"

"Huh?! Really?"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened as she followed Hachiman Hikigaya, pressing him for an answer, "Are they really dating? That's fast!"

"I think so," Hachiman Hikigaya shrugged. "But it's not that they're fast; they seem to be childhood friends."

"I see! That's amazing!"

Yui Yuigahama excitedly said, "Akihime, what do you think about me joining the Service Club too?"

Hachiman Hikigaya paused for a moment, then looked at the other person and said, "You joined too? Don't you participate in club activities?"

Yui Yuigahama shook her head: "No! Because I'm not particularly interested in anything! But after what happened today, I feel that the Service Club's activities are very meaningful and interesting!"

"Um... you can join if you want, as long as they agree. But you really enjoy being fed dog food, huh? If Luo Bai hadn't agreed that I wouldn't go when I'm not busy, I would never have participated."

"Hehehe, that's the difference between boys and girls!" Yui Yuigahama said with a laugh. "Girls are definitely very interested in topics about love! Ah, I'm turning right ahead, so I'll head back now. I'll also go to Hiratsuka-sensei's place tomorrow to get my club application form. See you tomorrow!"

"Ah, see you tomorrow."

Nodding, watching Yui Yuigahama happily run away, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh, "Goodbye, my peaceful high school life."

Volume 1: Chapter 14 Yang Nai Arrives (2/2)

On their way home, Luo Bai and Xue Nai went to the supermarket, bought some groceries, and then returned to their apartment.

After putting down his schoolbag and changing his clothes, Luo Bai came over to Yukino's side.

Although he cooked dinner today, since getting the cats, Yukino has decided to eat dinner at her place so she can see the two kittens all the time.

It has to be said that the cat-loving tendencies are becoming increasingly pronounced.

In the living room, Yukino was playing with two kittens, holding a cat toy.

Seeing Luo Bai come in, Yukino fed the two kittens some snacks, then stood up and said, "I'll go make some tea."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll prepare dinner now."

When Luo Bai arrived at the kitchen, Yukino had already laid out all the ingredients. They had also discussed what to eat for dinner on the way back, so Luo Bai didn't need to think too much and could just start cooking.

After working for half an hour, my phone, which I had placed aside, rang.

Seeing that it was his mother calling, Luo Bai said, "Xue Nai, can you answer this phone for me? I'm not available right now!"

Yukino jogged over, and when she saw the caller ID, she immediately panicked. After glancing at Luo Bai, who had his back to her, she quickly grabbed her phone and went outside.

Yukino spoke very softly on the phone, and with the kitten meowing intermittently, Luo Bai could hardly hear her.

About ten minutes later, Yukino returned to the kitchen with her phone and put it down.

Luo Bai glanced at Yukino and asked with a smile, "What did my mom say?"

"They asked how you were doing here, and then how your meals were."

Is it possible to talk about such a small issue for ten minutes?

Luo Bai clearly didn't believe it, guessing that his mother had told Yukino something she couldn't let him know.

However, Luo Bai didn't ask. Judging from the situation, Yukino and her mother seemed to be having a good time chatting.

Nodding, Luo Bai said, "Okay, I'll call Mom later. I'm going to start heating the pot now. Yukino, you can go to the living room first."

After Luo Bai turned away, Yukino touched her slightly flushed cheeks and quickly turned back to the living room.

As soon as she sat down, Yukino's phone rang.

The caller ID reads, "Sister."
