My fiancée Yukino

Before the start of the school year, Yukino came here once, back when the shop hadn't even opened yet.

While Yukino was still in a daze, Luo Bai simply took her hand and walked onto the crosswalk.

"The streetlights are on. Let's go sit for a while, play for an hour, and then go home. That way we can make dinner. What do you think?"

Seeing the smile on Luo Bai's face, Yukino blushed slightly and turned her head to say, "Since you want to go, then go ahead."

Luo Bai didn't refute, but smiled and led Yukino into the newly opened cat cafe.

Although it's a newly opened cat cafe, it has a large number of cats, ranging from the most common calico and orange tabby cats to various other breeds such as Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and Devons.

Moreover, the cats that work as employees in cat cafes are generally gentle and do not mind interacting with people.

Therefore, Yukino thoroughly enjoyed petting the cats for more than an hour.

Although Luo Bai played with the cat for a while, he spent most of his time holding his phone, constantly taking pictures of Yukino.

The new phone he got before coming to Japan immediately added a lot of photos to his album, which made Kanzaki Hikaru very satisfied.

As for being photographed by Luo Bai, Yukino didn't pay much attention to it since Luo Bai had brought her here today. After all, he had already set her photo as his phone wallpaper, so there was no point in stopping him.

After leaving the cat cafe, the two went home and began preparing dinner.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Luo Bai had returned to his apartment and was leisurely playing Civilization in his room, controlling his Roman army to expand his territory.

Just then, the cell phone that was lying to the side rang. It was a call from Makoto Fukutsu.

Picking up his phone and pressing the answer button, Luo Bai said, "Good evening, Mr. Zhentu."

"Good evening, Luo Bai-kun." Mato Kakuzu's voice came with a smile. "Thank you so much for your help this afternoon regarding Kanna."

"It's nothing, I just happened to run into them."

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "Don't you plan to do anything more about these dragons?"

"It's just Thor and Kanna. They can live peacefully in human society, so there's no need to worry too much. We confirmed this the moment they arrived. If they were war-loving dragons, we wouldn't have allowed them here at all. I'm calling now to express my gratitude to you, Luo Bai-kun. For the previous two incidents, and now Kanna, I've prepared a thank-you gift, which will be delivered to your apartment tomorrow afternoon. Please remember to sign for it. It's nothing fancy, just some delicious snacks."

Snacks?

Luo Bai nodded: "In that case, I'll accept it, but please don't ask me for anything too troublesome in the future."

"Haha, I'll try my best, after all, we don't have many people! Then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

"Okay, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Bai scratched his head and put his right hand back on the mouse. "Dragons, two dragons, tsk tsk tsk, this is getting more and more interesting."

As Luo Bai said, this world is indeed becoming more and more lively. On the very night that Kanna came to Kobayashi's house, another dragon came from another world.

Of course, these are not things that Luo Bai needs to consider. He can't beat dragons, so the guardian Zhen Tu Huo Jin can take care of that.

Sunday afternoon at 2 PM, the real disaster in Tianjin is fast.

It was delivered on time.

A package the size of a cake box, carefully packed, was delivered to Luo Bai.

After confirming that the sender was indeed Makoto, Luo Bai signed for the package and returned to Yukino's place with it, where he had been reading.

Luo Bai had naturally told Yukino about the delivery, so Yukino didn't prepare any afternoon tea pastries when she woke up today.

Looking at the box in Luo Bai's hand, Yukino said, "It's a huge box."

"Yes, it's much bigger than I expected."

Luo Bai nodded, put the items on the coffee table, and then picked up the scissors to start unpacking the package.

Upon opening the outer packaging, you'll find a metallic box with a distinctive pattern, clearly indicating its high price.

Moreover, Luo Bai noticed that the box had no brand markings, and immediately realized that it might not be from this world.

"The box looks nice, but I don't know how the contents are."

As he spoke, Luo Bai opened the lid, and a rich aroma wafted out.

Inside the tin box were individual cookies arranged in multiple layers.

The rich aroma was immediately recognizable to Yukino, who often makes her own sweets, as it indicated the use of high-quality ingredients.

"It smells so good. Even the high-end brand cookies I've eaten don't have such a rich aroma, and it's not an artificial one."

"Don't worry, they wouldn't send me something like that."

As he spoke, Luo Bai poured two cups of tea, then took a biscuit and took a bite.

The rich aroma of butter and milk spread in her mouth, and Luo Bai squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Yes, it's really good. Yukino, you should try it."

Yukino nodded, picked up a piece out of curiosity, and took a small bite.

Then, he showed the same expression as Luo Bai.

Although she could tell the cookies were delicious, she didn't expect them to be this good, which was beyond her imagination.

Soon, after finishing one cookie, Yukino, unusually greedy, quickly picked up a second one and ate it in small bites.

After eating two cookies, Luo Bai noticed something special about them.

These were definitely not cookies made by ordinary people, nor were they from another world. They were made by people with special abilities. After eating them, his body felt exceptionally comfortable, and his mood was unusually pleasant.

Luo Bai glanced at Yukino, who was smiling and eating cookies like a kitten, and smiled. He then took out his phone and sent a message to Madokasu to ask her about it.

A reply came quickly.

These cookies are indeed not from this world. They were one of the gifts given to Shinto Mokuzu as a token of gratitude after he went to another world and helped a royal family there.

The ingredients used are all rare and top-quality special ingredients, coupled with special production techniques. Even in the other world, they are produced in very small quantities and can only be eaten by members of the royal family.

As for the effect, it was just as Luo Bai had guessed: it could make people feel happy.

Volume 1: Chapter 30 Expressing Feelings (2/2)

Yukino ate several cookies before finally stopping, satisfied.

After taking a sip of tea, Yukino slowly exhaled and leaned back on the sofa in a pleasant mood.

Turning to Yukino, Luo Bai asked, "How is it? It tastes good, right?"

"Yes, it's surprisingly delicious."

Looking at the box where there were still quite a few cookies left, Yukino thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep some and take them to the club at school tomorrow."

"Sure, it's up to you."

As he spoke, Luo Bai gently took Yukino's hand and intertwined their fingers.

Noticing Luo Bai's little scheme, Yukino gave him a nonchalant glare and let him do as he pleased.

Unfortunately, Luo Bai was not the type to be easily satisfied. After holding hands for a while, he began to play with Yukino's slender fingers one by one.

"...What are you doing?"

With her head down, Luo Bai continued playing and said, "Yukino's fingers are very pretty, and so soft."

With her lips pursed, feeling the contact between their skin, Yukino was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Then, Luo Bai opened Yukino's small hand and compared it with his own palm.

"It's much smaller than my hand."

After comparing them, they intertwined their fingers once again.

Raising his head, Luo Bai looked at Yukino's face, which was so close to his own, and moved a little closer.

As expected, after staring at Luo Bai for a few seconds, Yukino's gaze began to wander.

Luo Bai's lips curled slightly: "Yukino, are you nervous?"

"...No, you should sit down right away!"

"No, this is fine."

Looking at Yukino's increasingly flushed face, Luo Bai whispered, "Yukino, I like you."

"!!!"

Yukino felt as if her heart had suddenly stopped, and then her heart started racing wildly, and she began to stammer incoherently.

"What are you saying?!"

"Hmm? I'm just expressing my true feelings." Seeing Yukino's shy and nervous expression, Luo Bai still smiled. "I told you, I like you, Yukino. So, Yukino, what about you?"

"me..."

Yukino stared into Luo Bai's eyes, then nervously lowered her head.

Hmm, was I being too hasty?

Just as Luo Bai was considering how to ease Yukino's mood, Yukino's small voice came over: "Me too."

Almost, right?

Luo Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer feeling embarrassed.

Extending his free right hand, Luo Bai gently smoothed Yukino's hair that fell in front of her, lifted Yukino's face, and kissed her without hesitation, making up for what happened last night instead of Friday night.

After a moment of panic, Yukino closed her eyes and slowly responded.

Five minutes later, Luo Bai released Yukino, who was breathing heavily, and gently pinched her cheek: "Although there was a slight error in the order, and the engagement was made first, it shouldn't matter if we start dating as a couple from today, right? Please take care of me from now on, Yukino."

Gradually coming to her senses, Yukino looked at Luo Bai and nodded.

"Well, please give me more advice."

Although they are still engaged, the distance between them has officially taken a big step forward, becoming much closer than when they were childhood playmates.

Luo Bai sat shoulder to shoulder with Yukino, who was playing with a cat in her arms, while Luo Bai picked up the remote control and started watching TV.

While looking for shows and chatting with Yukino, Luo Bai was also thinking about whether he should tell Yukino about his superpowers, as well as the extraordinary creatures and visitors from other worlds in this world.

After careful consideration, Luo Bai decided to suppress the idea.

If we can keep it from Yukino, we should keep it from her for now. Yukino always thinks things through a lot, especially when it comes to matters with such a wide scope.

Moreover, with me by Yukino's side, I can ensure her safety and also take care of things before Yukino realizes what's going on.

The other side of this world might defy logic and be dazzling, but Yukino and Rakuha are different; they lack special abilities and cannot act rashly.

Breaking in is not a good thing.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, time to prepare dinner.

Yukino followed Luo Bai to the kitchen, intending to cook dinner together.

Luo Bai did not refuse and handed over the task of chopping vegetables to Xue Nai.

The two had a clear division of labor and quickly prepared the ingredients for dinner.

While slicing the meat, Luo Bai said, "Starting next week, we shouldn't need to supervise Totsuka Saika's training anymore. We've already prepared a detailed training plan for her, and we just need to check on the training results on Friday. In other words, we don't have any commissions for the time being. Do you want to find another commission or something?"

After slicing the cleaned water bamboo into strips, Yukino shook her head and said, "I've already asked Hiratsuka-sensei to help with finding clients. If there are any, she'll bring them over."

"Hmm, so that means I can relax a bit tomorrow, that's really great."

"I can't relax."

Yukino said directly, "There's an exam at the end of the month. If you don't pass, you'll have to stay at school for tutoring during the holidays and take a make-up exam."

Luo Bai chuckled and said, "This is no challenge for us; there's no way we'll fail. But speaking of exams, Yukino, starting this time, you might not be able to maintain your position as number one in the grade~~"

Yukino stopped what she was doing and looked at Luo Bai, her competitive spirit immediately ignited.

"Really? Then let's have a competition. I'm not going to give you the top spot in the grade."

"You're very confident."

Luo Bai put the sliced ​​meat into a bowl, then looked at Yukino provocatively, "How about we make a bet? The loser has to do one thing to the winner?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino instinctively frowned, then warily raised her hand to protect herself: "A bet is fine, but you're not allowed to make any unreasonable demands?"

Luo Bai rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking? Of course, it's about conditions that don't violate personal wishes. If you don't agree, you can just change it."

Luo Bai wouldn't go so far as to make excessive demands using such a thing. He really likes Yukino, and these things should be based on mutual consent and a natural progression.

Given the relationship between Luo Bai and Xue Nai, there's no need to do this; it was bound to happen sooner or later.
