My fiancée Yukino

Yukino, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Yukino is amazing! She succeeded on her third try. But is it really possible to do it without any further manipulation?"

“It shouldn’t be necessary.” While keeping track of the time and watching the rag wipe the floor by itself, Yukino said, “According to Elena’s spellbook, I included the area to be cleaned in the spell. Now that I’ve successfully cast it, let’s see if the magic power can support the rag to finish the job.”

Two minutes later, a large marked area was automatically wiped by the cloth. Then the cloth returned to the basin of water on the coffee table, rinsed with clean water, wrung out the water, and wiped the area again before returning to the coffee table.

After watching the entire process, everyone applauded with delight.

Shinobu Kocho said happily, "It's really useful! If everyone can use this magic skillfully in the future, cleaning the house will be much easier!"

Yukino affirmed, "Yes, it will definitely be much easier. The robot vacuum cleaner will clean up the more obvious trash and dust, and then we can control the mop and rag to clean even better."

Seeing how quickly Yukino mastered magic, the others also continued practicing.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yukino finished her practice and went upstairs to her bedroom.

Inside the room, Luo Bai had already finished his homework and was playing games on the computer in his bedroom.

Hearing the door open, Luo Bai paused the game, turned around, and said with a smile, "Finished? How was your practice?"

"I've learned a household magic trick to control tools for cleaning, it's quite practical. My next practice will be to expand the scope of automatic cleaning."

Pulling up a chair and sitting down next to Luo Bai, he looked at the game screen and said, "Baldur's Gate, huh? I've never played this type of game before."

"I haven't played much of it either, but this one is quite friendly to new players, and the storyline is very rich, making it quite fun to play."

Then, Yukino sat down next to Luo Bai and watched him play Baldur's Gate 3.

When Mai finished showering and came to call her, Yukino grabbed her change of clothes and went to take a shower.

After Yukino left,

Mai sat down in the spot where Yukino had been sitting, and hugged Luo Bai's arm, saying, "Luo-kun, I have an advertisement to shoot this weekend in Tokyo. Can you come with me?"

"Commercial shoot? That's great! What kind of commercial is it?"

"Sports drinks," Mai said happily. "Basically, it's just filming a few sports scenes and then drinking sports drinks. The filming isn't too difficult, but we have to go to a few sports fields, which can be a bit tiring. I just wanted you to come with me, Luo Jun."

In about six months, Mai will graduate from high school and take the college entrance exam, so she won't be taking on any TV dramas or movies during this time. At most, she'll take on a few less strenuous TV program recordings and commercial shoots to maintain her recognition among the audience.

Of course, with the widespread use of smartphones now, Mai occasionally uses her phone to shoot short videos of her daily life. After the company's team does some simple editing, she posts them on her various social media accounts to build up her popularity. So far, the results are quite good, and her number of fans continues to increase.

"If it's filming, can it be finished in one day?"

"Sure, the company's current schedule for me is to start filming at 9:00 AM on Saturday, and if all goes well, it should finish around 4:00 PM!"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you on Saturday. Do you want to go early Saturday morning, or should we go on Friday and stay in Tokyo?"

Mai's eyes immediately lit up: "Let's go stay in Tokyo on Friday!"

"Okay, then let's go on Friday. I just don't know if Shiyu will come looking for us if we go on Friday."

“Then come over!” Mai raised her hand and gently poked Luo Bai’s cheek. “We’ll book a hotel with more privacy. Shi Yu has been busy with her novel and manga these days. Even when we were all in Tokyo, she always went home at night.”

Mai is right. Shiyu has been busy with the new volume of her novel lately, and she is indeed quite tired, so she hasn't been able to come and stay here.

Even today, Shi Yu only made a brief phone call to Luo Bai after dinner before continuing to bury herself in writing. She's probably still busy right now.

"Okay, then let's call Shiyu on Thursday night and talk to her about it. Let's not bother her now."

After saying that, Luo Bai reached out and put his arm around Mai's waist, then kissed her.

"Will you sleep here tonight too?"

Mai blushed and nodded, agreeing.

.......

The time came to Saturday.

In the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel in Tokyo, Luo Bai opened his eyes to the alarm clock and then moved Shi Yu's arm off him.

Mai, on the other side, woke up before the alarm clock rang.

Luo Bai sat up and then heard noises coming from the bathroom; Mai was taking a shower.

The blanket was empty, and Shiyu groggily opened her eyes.

"Luo Jun... what time is it?"

"It's 7:30." Looking at Shiyu, who had pulled the blanket over herself, Luo Bai asked with a smile, "I'm going to accompany Mai to the filming location later. Do you want to come with us?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu finally woke up completely.

"Yeah, I'm going. It's no fun sleeping alone."

"Then let's get up quickly. After Mai finishes her bath, we'll go wash up too."

Twenty minutes later, all three of them had finished washing up and getting ready. Mai's manager called to say that they had arrived at the hotel.

After leaving their room, Luo Bai and the other two had a quick breakfast at the hotel restaurant before meeting up with Mai's manager and heading to the filming location.

Volume 1: Chapter 399 Ad Shooting, Hoshino Ai Arrives (1/2)

Upon arriving at the filming location, the filming preparations were almost complete.

After greeting the filming crew, Mai went to the dressing room to change clothes. After filming the indoor scenes, she could then go to film the outdoor scenes.

Although it was already 8:45 in the morning when they arrived, Mai was already taking a beauty potion made by Victoria, and because she was also learning magic, the magic was making her skin better and better. She didn't need any complicated makeup process at all, saving a lot of time.

Soon, Mai came out wearing a tracksuit and the filming began.

Luo Bai, along with Shi Yu and their manager, watched from the sidelines.

After watching for a few minutes and filming a scene, Luo Bai felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

When I took it out, I found it was a call from Ai Hoshino.

After showing it to Shi Yu, who was standing next to him, Luo Bai answered the phone.

"Good morning, Xiao Ai, are you up?"

"I got up a long time ago!"

As soon as the call connected, Luo Bai heard Hoshino Ai's angry voice.

"Brother Luo Bai, you're so mean! You didn't even invite me to dinner last night, even though I'm already in Tokyo!"

Luo Bai knew that this girl would call to say these things, so he exchanged a helpless glance with Shi Yu and said, "We had a candlelight dinner last night, what are you doing here?"

"Ugh!!! No, no, you have to take me with you today!"

"We're accompanying Mai to film a commercial. Aren't you going to take a break on your rare weekend?"

"It's alright, I'm not busy at work this week. I know where you're filming, I'll have my driver bring me over right away!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Luo Bai a chance to refute.

Seeing Luo Bai put down his phone with a helpless expression, Shi Yu chuckled and said, "If anyone else were being clung to by Xiao Ai like this, they'd probably be too happy to even think about it. Only you, Luo Jun, would have such an expression."

"Who told that girl to be only 15 years old?"

Luo Bai shrugged, genuinely having no other options.

"That girl is being too forward. If I don't restrain myself, I'm likely to make a mistake. I'd better wait a bit longer."

Shiyu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's true. Let's wait until she comes to Chiba to attend high school next year. Anyway, it's only half a year."

As for Mai's manager, she adopted a "let it go in one ear and out the other" attitude, ignoring whatever she heard, as these were not matters for her to concern herself with.

Fifteen minutes later, the studio door slowly opened, and Hoshino Ai, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and casual clothes, walked in.

Upon seeing Luo Bai, she immediately ran over excitedly and hugged Luo Bai's arm.

"Hey, Brother Luo Bai, I'm here!"

Looking at Hoshino Ai, who was practically pressed against his arm, Luo Bai shook his head with a smile: "You, do you only see me?"

Hoshino Ai naturally understood what Luo Bai meant. She stuck out her tongue and looked at Shiyu beside her, saying, "Good morning, Shiyu-nee. But you didn't help me at all. Instead, you came to find Luo Bai-ge yourself."

Shi Yu smiled and squinted her eyes: "Xiao Ai, you can't blame me for this. In matters like this, I always listen to Luo Jun. And what Luo Jun said is right, your age is quite dangerous for Luo Jun."

Hoshino Ai puffed out her cheeks in frustration after hearing this.

"Ugh, it's so annoying, why am I only 15 years old...?"

Seeing Hoshino Ai's expression, Luo Bai reached out and pinched her cheek.

"You, instead of thinking about these things now, you should be studying hard, don't wait until..."

Next year, I failed the exam that I should have been sure of getting.

"No way!"

Hoshino Ai replied firmly, "I study whenever I have free time, and I'm definitely going to get into Soubu High School!"

"Then let's wait until you pass the exam. There's plenty of time in the future, no need to rush."

"All right..."

Seeing that Luo Bai had made it so clear, Hoshino Ai had no choice but to suppress her thoughts and prepare to continue studying hard, striving to get a perfect score and enter Soubu High School.

Then, she followed Luo Bai and Shi Yu to watch Mai film an advertisement.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and the indoor scenes were finally all filmed.

Wiping the sweat from her face with a towel, Mai walked to the sidelines, took the water Hoshino Ai handed her, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I knew Ai would come right away."

"Hey hey hey~~"

Hoshino Ai smiled happily, "I've been with you guys all day, and there's nothing much to do anyway. Mai-nee, are we heading out to shoot on location soon?"

"Yes, we're just getting our equipment ready and then we'll head out. Let's go wait in the car first."

After telling the director, Mai left the studio with everyone else.

The director naturally saw Hoshino Ai coming from behind. He had filmed commercials for Hoshino Ai before, so they knew each other. He also knew the company behind Hoshino Ai and knew that although the company seemed inconspicuous to the outside world, it had a lot of influence.

So, regarding Hoshino Ai's visit, the director had already told his staff that if they wanted to continue working, they shouldn't look around and should focus on their work.

Half an hour later, the filming crew arrived at the first outdoor filming location, an open-air tennis court that had been booked for half a day.

Upon arrival, the filming team quickly got to work, clamping up all the equipment.

Mai changed into a pink and white tennis outfit while she was in the car, and came to the court with a tennis racket in her hand.

The director then walked over, smiling, and said, "Ms. Mai, are you sure about the tennis and stuff?"

Mai nodded confidently: "Don't worry, director. I used to play tennis a lot when I was in school, and my friends also play tennis. I've learned a lot, so the basic filming won't be a problem."

As he spoke, he tossed the tennis ball up and hit a beautiful serve.

Upon seeing this, the director said with satisfaction, "Great, that's perfect! We don't need to do any special effects in post-production; we can just shoot live. Now, get ready to warm up, and we'll start filming in ten minutes!"

On the sidelines, Hoshino Ai, seeing Mai's nimble movements, exclaimed in surprise, "I really didn't know Mai-nee could play tennis!"

Luo Bai explained with a smile, "It's mainly me and Yukino who know how. Mai also plays with us a few times when she has time at school. If you want to learn, Ai, you should be able to learn it quickly too."

After learning breathing techniques and swordsmanship, these girls found it very easy to learn other sports.

Volume 1: Chapter 400 Guests at Home (2/2)

The filming of Mai's three sports events went very smoothly throughout the day.

Just as Luo Bai said, after learning the breathing technique, Mai's physical fitness and coordination became excellent, and she could perform all kinds of difficult sports movements with ease.

Even if she didn't know how to do something, she could quickly get the hang of it after the instructor demonstrated it a few times.

The advertising shoot went very smoothly. By 4 p.m., all the scenes that Mai needed to film were completed, and her work was finished.

After changing back into her own clothes, Mai left the filming location with Luo Bai and the others, and returned to Chiba in a car driven by her agency.

Compared to Tokyo, Chiba is naturally more comfortable, and going back at this time means I can have dinner at home, which is more lively than eating out.

Back at Chiba's villa, Yukino and Shinobu were cooking in the kitchen, while in the living room, besides Kanao and the others, there were two guests: Seitenshi and Shima Miori.

Upon seeing them, Luo Bai said in surprise, "I can understand why the Holy Emperor came. She has a good relationship with Tina and Xia Shi and has come a few times. But Miss Sima, how come you have time to come? I heard Zhen Tu Huojin say a few days ago that your company is recruiting all kinds of people and setting up various production lines. You're so busy."

Sima Weishi was dressed in a neat and beautiful kimono as usual, holding his signature folding fan, and said with a smile, "That's true, I'm very busy, but even the busiest people need some time for themselves, right? These past two days, our new house has been furnished, and we just moved in today. As a neighbor, I naturally had to come and pay a visit."

"Neighbor?"

Luo Bai paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That villa diagonally across the street that's under renovation, is that yours?"

“That’s right, even in my parents’ new home,” Sima Weizhi said happily. “Luo-kun, nice to meet you~~”
