My fiancée Yukino

The requested matter hasn't come up these past few days, and the training volume for Totsuka Saika has also been reduced somewhat, and they've started preparing for next week's exam.

On Friday afternoon, everyone went to the Service Department to continue their studies.

After these few days of intensive tutoring, both Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama have made some progress.

Hachiman Hikigaya's progress was particularly noticeable. Under Luo Bai's terrifying sea of ​​questions, his originally poor math foundation was finally improved, and he could now do most of the basic problems.

While doing her exercises, Yui Yuigahama glanced at everyone a few times and then said, "Um, let's have a study session this weekend!"

"Still driving?!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was the first to object, his eyes widening as he said, "I've been studying for five days already, can't I take a break?"

Yui Yuigahama said emphatically, "No way! The exam is next week, and you said you absolutely had to pass math this time, right? Since you've made up your mind, then work hard!"

"..."

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched as he looked at Yui Yuigahama and said, "I really didn't expect to hear these words from your mouth."

"What?! That's discrimination!" Yui Yuigahama glared angrily at Luo Bai and Yukino. "Luo Bai-kun, Yukino, what do you think? I think we should still have a study session!"

Luo Bai nodded: "You really do need to keep working harder. Actually, Yukino and I had thought about it before, and we were going to arrange something for you over the weekend. I didn't expect Yui to bring it up first. So let's have a study session. You can come here on Sunday morning, and we'll have a final push for you in the morning and afternoon. Then we'll do a quick review next Monday to prepare for the exam on Tuesday."

"Great!"

Yui Yuigahama jumped up happily, then realized, "Then it won't be open tomorrow?"

"Relax in moderation, you know?" Luo Bai shook his finger and said, "Tomorrow, rest at home and finish your schoolwork, then come back on Sunday to focus on reviewing."

Yukino nodded in agreement: "That's right. It's good to love learning, but you can't keep your mind on edge all the time. Let's do it on Sunday."

"Okay then~~~"

Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a huge sigh of relief. Thankfully, he didn't have to study for both days of the weekend. At least he could catch his breath tomorrow.

After the afternoon study session, Luo Bai and Xue Nai stopped at the supermarket on their way back to do some shopping.

We have guests coming over on Sunday, and the four of us will be having lunch together, so we'll definitely need to prepare extra food.

Buy some meat first, then some snacks, and then buy some vegetables tomorrow.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, they grabbed a shopping cart, put their backpacks inside, and headed to the meat section.

Like a true housewife, Yukino carefully selected the meat, picked up a box of pork belly, placed it in front of Luo Bai, and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"The fat and lean meat are just right, so I'll take one box. And I'll take two boxes of the spare ribs over there too."

Soon, they had chosen the meat and even bought a bag of chicken breast for their two kittens.

After buying meat and vegetables, it's time to pick out some snacks.

On her way to the snack section, Yukino saw some toys on sale on a nearby shelf, many of which were cat toys of different breeds.

Upon seeing these, Yukino was immediately captivated.

Volume 1: Chapter 39 Group Photo (1/2)

When she came out of the supermarket, in addition to the groceries, Yukino also had two cat plush toys in her hands.

One is an orange tabby cat, and the other is a Persian cat.

Holding the cat plushie, Yukino's face flushed slightly: "Sorry, I wasted your time."

Although it was just choosing a doll, Yukino spent a full fifteen minutes before finally selecting the one she wanted.

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. Yukino's conflicted look when she was choosing a doll was also very cute. I took several pictures and saved them. In fact, I'm the one who benefited."

Yukino hadn't noticed at all, and immediately glared at Luo Bai.

But there was nothing they could do.

Back home, after putting away all the ingredients, the two of them started preparing dinner together.

We had a simple meal with two dishes and a soup.

After dinner, they made some tea and sat down on the sofa. Then Yukino reached out her hand to Luo Bai and said, "Give me your phone."

"kindness?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Do you want to see photos?"

Yukino nodded: "That's right, unlock it by your own intuition. If the photo is good, I can let you keep it, but if it's not good, I will definitely delete it."

"Okay, okay, I'll show you."

Luo Bai readily took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Yukino.

Yukino glanced at Luo Bai suspiciously, not expecting him to agree so readily, but without thinking much about it, she directly opened the photo album.

You wouldn't believe it until you look; Yukino was shocked to find so many photos of herself in the album.

When were these photos taken?

“Normally,” Luo Bai shrugged. “You can tell by looking at the time of the photos. You’re usually very focused when you’re playing with the cat or studying, so you wouldn’t notice if I took a couple of pictures occasionally.”

As she flipped through the photos, Yukino realized that this was indeed the case; most of them were photos of her playing with her cat at home or studying.

The next photos are of me picking out dolls at the supermarket in the evening.

After looking around, Yukino had to admit that Luo Bai's photos were indeed very good, so she had no choice but to return the phone to Luo Bai.

"Here, that's fine."

Retrieving his phone, Luo Bai put an arm around Yukino's shoulder and said with a smile, "How was it? Not bad, right? But Yukino, I think I'd like to change the wallpaper. How about a picture of us together? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino glanced at Luo Bai and then turned her head slightly to the side: "Sure, anyway, if I agree, you'll be pestering me relentlessly, right?"

"Yukino understands me best."

As he spoke, Luo Bai turned on his phone's selfie function, then let Yukino lean against him and pointed the camera at her.

"Come on, look here, one, two, three!"

With the sound of a shutter, a photo of Luo Bai and Yukino appeared on the phone.

Looking at the finished photo, Luo Bai nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad. I originally thought you wouldn't smile, but you did smile."

In the photo, Yukino, who is being held by Luo Bai, has a slightly flushed face and a clear smile on her lips.

Yukino looked at the photo, somewhat surprised.

She rarely takes selfies; her phone is mostly filled with landscape photos and pictures of her cats.

Now that she sees this photo of herself with Luo Bai, Yukino feels pretty good about it.

Yukino tugged at Luo Bai's clothes and said, "Send me a copy of the photo too."

"Okay."

Luo Bai smiled and tapped his phone, sending the photo to Yukino before setting it as his phone wallpaper.

After receiving the photo, Yukino looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and then, under Luo Bai's gaze, she set the photo as her phone wallpaper.

Luo Bai noticed this change in Yukino and was very happy about it.

Looking at the wallpaper, Luo Bai hugged Yukino and said, "Hmm, should we show Mom this photo of us? She'd be so happy if she knew how good our relationship is now."

Yukino immediately snatched Luo Bai's phone away, turned off the screen, and put it back on the coffee table.

"You're not allowed to show this to anyone else, not even your aunt!"

"Shy?"

Yukino didn't answer, she just stared at him with wide eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't show it to anyone else, I'll do as you say."

That's how Yukino was finally calmed down.

Although she said she was happy to take a photo with herself, Yukino was still very shy.

Gently stroking Yukino's hair, Luo Bai asked, "The study session is scheduled for Sunday. I don't have anything planned for tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to do?"

Yukino put her phone away and shook her head: "I don't have any plans. Also, don't play with my hair."

As she spoke, she pressed down the fingers that were entwining her hair.

Unable to play with hair, Luo Bai simply started playing with Yukino's fingers.

Holding Yukino's slender fingers in my hand felt wonderful; her fingertips were soft and comfortable to squeeze.

While kneading it, Luo Bai said, "If you don't have any plans, why don't you go out for a walk? Staying at home is just studying anyway, right? How about we study at home in the morning and then go to that cat cafe in the afternoon? Didn't you have enough fun there before?"

Luo Bai had a very accurate grasp of Yukino's preferences.

Besides reading, his biggest hobby is cats, and then there's his panda plush toy named Mr. Pan.

As for cats, after we started keeping two Ragdoll cats at home, my love for them didn't diminish; on the contrary, it grew even stronger, and I loved cats even more.

Upon hearing Luo Bai's offer to take her to a cat cafe, Yukino agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then we'll study in the morning and go out in the afternoon."

After saying that, she leaned closer to Luo Bai, clearly very happy with his suggestion.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Besides the cat cafe, is there anywhere else you'd like to go? Let's eat out for dinner too, and then take a walk afterward?"

"OK fine."

Yukino didn't have much experience with going out, and she was even a bit directionally challenged, rarely venturing into unfamiliar places on her own, except for a few places she frequented.

Now that Luo Bai is here, she doesn't mind having him take her around.

So, is this what it feels like to be in love?

Yukino felt incredibly at ease, a feeling she had never experienced when she lived alone.

Yukino didn't dislike this change.

Snuggling against Luo Bai, Yukino whispered, "I really didn't expect that I would be dating someone so soon."

"What if it were me? Haven't you thought about that?"

Yukino nudged Luo Bai lightly on the head, her tone tinged with displeasure: "You don't even know who it is, and you still have the nerve to say such things after not coming for years."

"Um, I have some study assignments from home. Sorry, Yukino."

With an awkward laugh, Luo Bai hugged the girl in his arms. "Don't worry, I'll always be with you from now on."

Volume 1: Chapter 40 Saturday, Haruno who came to freeload (2/2)

Saturday, 8:00 AM.

While Luo Bai was still asleep, Yukino pushed open the bedroom door.

Upon entering the room, Yukino glanced at Luo Bai, who was still fast asleep, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains, letting the sunlight stream in.

Then, Yukino came to the bedside and gently shook Luo Bai.

"Luo Bai, get up."

"kindness..."

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Bai finally opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Yukino appear before him, Luo Bai was visibly taken aback for a moment before realizing what was happening and smiling as he said, "Good morning, Yukino."

Yukino returned the smile: "Good morning, time to get up. You promised me yesterday that we would study together this morning."

I turned my head and glanced at the alarm clock on the table. I realized it was only eight o'clock, which was really early.

"Now that you're awake, get up quickly. I'm already making breakfast."

As Yukino was about to leave, Luo Bai smiled and grabbed her, pulling her onto the bed and hugging her tightly.

"what!"

Startled by Luo Bai's actions, Yukino struggled for a moment and said, "Let go right now!"

"No, let me hold you for a while."

Holding Yukino in his arms, Luo Bai rubbed his head against the girl's hair and squinted his eyes happily: "It's so nice to be able to see Yukino as soon as I open my eyes. I really want to marry you as soon as possible so that I can see you every day when I open my eyes."
