My fiancée Yukino

Thinking of this, Luo Bai snapped his fingers and immediately made a decision: he would go on a date with Yukino after school.

When they went to the Service Club for lunch, Luo Bai told Yukino about it.

Yukino was also stunned, and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Didn't you just go on a date on Valentine's Day?"

"Valentine's Day is Valentine's Day, and now is now. There's no rule that says you can't go on a date after Valentine's Day, right?" Luo Bai said with a smile. "So, are you going or not?"

Although it was somewhat unexpected, Yukino still agreed.

"Okay, let's go then. But besides me, where are the others?"

Luo Bai said, "As for Mai, we'll wait until she finishes her exams. Yang Nai and Shi Yu will be on the weekend. As for Shinobu and Ai, it's up to them to decide their own schedules. Mi Yu and Oguri Hat, I can take them out to play after I check on their training."

Listening to Luo Bai's arrangements, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was eating his bento box, sighed, "You're really busy. You even have to schedule a date."

Luo Bai smiled and shrugged: "Actually, Yukino and the others originally said that we could all go out together, but I still think it's better to take them out one by one. As for spending time, I don't need to be busy with other things anyway, so it's better to use it to build relationships now."

What Luo Bai said was truly enviable.

Yui Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks and said, "You guys really have a lot of free time. I just read books and do exercises every day when I get home. There's never enough time for me."

Yukino smiled and said, "I know you want to get into Chiba University, but this isn't the way to study. Staying up all night every day will lead to sleep deprivation, and then you won't be able to concentrate on studying the next day, creating a vicious cycle. If your foundation isn't solid, instead of spending the whole night studying and exhausting yourself, it's better to study diligently for the limited two or three hours each night, finish the planned material, and then get some rest. Unless you're exceptionally gifted, high-intensity studying isn't suitable for most people."

Luo Bai also said, "Yukino is right. There's still a year left. You don't need to start working hard right now. Before you start, make a plan and allocate what you need to do each hour. That's better. Allocate these tasks according to your individual learning ability. If Yuihama isn't very good at it, I suggest she ask Hachiman to help her."

After hearing this, Yui Yuigahama looked at Hachiman Hikigaya who was standing to the side.

"Hachiman!"

Hachiman Hikigaya swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded, and said, "I understand, I understand. I'll help you with the arrangements this afternoon. You really can't keep going like this. If you want to catch up when you haven't studied well before, you will definitely need to put in more effort, but you can't just blindly study."

Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't good at science, so in order to improve his grades and get into Chiba University, he spent a lot of time figuring out how to improve his study methods.

My current study plan is similar to what Luo Baixue and the others mentioned, but I will study more at night because I will sleep less and my energy will be restored as well.

As for Yui Yuigahama, she definitely can't be the same as me. It's a problem to weigh the degree of this and I need to think about it carefully.

When school ended in the afternoon, Luo Baixue and Mai did not participate in club activities and went straight home.

Seeing that Luo Bai and Yukino had changed their clothes and were about to go out on their date, Hoshino Ai immediately ran over excitedly, hugged Luo Bai, and said, "Luo Bai-nii, I want to go on a date too!"

Luo Bai chuckled and patted Hoshino Ai's head, looking at her and saying, "Not today, I have a date with your Yukino-nee today. How about tomorrow?"

Hoshino Ai puffed out her cheeks and then agreed, "Okay, it's a date with me tomorrow!"

"No problem, it's settled. You can think about it today, and decide where you want to go tomorrow."

After calming Hoshino Ai down, Luo Bai looked at Mai and said, "Just so you all know, we'll be eating out for dinner."

Mai nodded and said, "Then you'll still be back tonight, right?"

"Of course."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Bai took Yukino out the door.

After the two left, Mai stretched, took out her English exercises, and started working on them in the living room.

Hoshino Ai had finished her exams and felt completely relaxed. Naturally, she didn't need to study or anything, and she didn't bother Mai downstairs. Instead, she went upstairs to practice singing.

Half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho, Miyu, and Oguri Hat returned from Treson Academy.

"Sigh... off on a date."

Shinobu Kocho laughed when she found out, "It's not surprising that they fell down. These two have indeed been going out on dates less often. It's good that they go out more often. So, there will be two fewer people at dinner tonight. By the way, Haruno-nee should be back for dinner today, right?"

Mai nodded and said, "I asked her on my phone, she'll be back around 5:30."

"Okay, then I'll go prepare dinner."

Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao stayed in the living room.

Looking at the densely packed questions in Mai's workbook, Oguri Hat said with a dizzy expression, "So many questions! The difficulty of the college entrance exam is really high."

Mai finished writing a question with a smile, looked up at Oguri Hat and Miyu, and asked on a whim, "Speaking of which, how many of Ma-niang's students go to university?"

Volume 1: Chapter 490 Photo Booth (2/2)

Upon hearing this question, Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance.

Mi Yu shook her head blankly: "Mi Yu has only been in Tressen for a short time and doesn't really know what career choices retired racehorse girls, or those who didn't become racehorse girls, make."

Oguri Hat recalled, "As far as I know, due to their unique characteristics, horse girls naturally possess various outstanding talents besides running. Some choose to become actresses, others choose to become hosts, and so on. Because of their talents, they generally have a smooth job search. However, going to university... I don't recall any, but if they wanted to, most horse girls could easily get into the university they wanted, so they definitely have preferential treatment in that regard."

But university...

For a moment, both horse girls were filled with curiosity.

Mai, who seemed to see right through them, smiled and said, "You probably haven't thought about what you'll do after you retire, have you? After all, you can't run forever. I think after you retire, you should really consider going to university to further your studies and choosing a major you like. Even if you don't make money from it in the future, it will definitely be helpful."

Little Chestnut Hat nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed a good choice. I am seventeen years old now, and I feel that I can still run my professional career for another year or two. When I turn nineteen, I can consider going to university. It shouldn't be too late, right?"

"It's not too late!" Mai said happily. "Generally speaking, people start university at eighteen, so nineteen is perfectly normal. If you, Oguri-chan, want to attend a university here, that's entirely possible."

"Sure, even the University of Tokyo would be fine. They could be our classmates and go to school together."

Seeing Mai say that, Mi Yu quickly raised her hand: "Mi Yu, Mi Yu also wants to go to the same school as my brother!"

Mai knew Miyu would be interested, and said with a smile, "Then let's wait until later. Right now, you should focus on the competition."

The two female horses nodded in unison, naturally full of confidence about the competition.

Miyu's next competition is the Chrysanthemum Sho in October, while Oguri Hat will participate in the Autumn Emperor Sho. The two did not choose to compete in the same competition, which can be regarded as a deliberate avoidance between teammates.

Moreover, even in terms of strength, Mi Yu is still a bit behind Oguri Hat.

When the competition starts, Oguri Hat's strength will be fully restored. At that time, Mi Yu will have no chance to compete, and the first place will definitely belong to Oguri Hat.

This year, the two will only participate in this one match each; they will not participate in any other matches. After this match, they will prepare for next year's Dream Cup.

While everyone was busily preparing dinner, Luo Bai and Xue Nai drove to the city.

Under the watchful eyes of many passersby, Luo Bai drove the car into the mall's underground parking lot, and then arrived at the mall with Yukino.

Holding Yukino's hand, Luo Bai looked at the shops around them and said, "You didn't buy many winter clothes, did you? Just two?"

Yukino nodded and said, "Yeah, mainly because I don't really like any of this year's new styles. Let's not buy any clothes today. If there are any good ones, my sister will definitely tell me. Let's look at other things instead."

"Okay, let's look at other things then."

As for their dinner, Luo Bai had already made a reservation for a candlelight dinner at a restaurant, so there's no need to discuss that further.

Although she said she wouldn't buy clothes, Yukino couldn't resist buying a pair of boots when she came across a shoe store, and then bought a pair of plush slippers with cat heads in another store.

Since adopting a cat with Luo Bai's support, Yukino's love for cats has become even more unrestrained. In her daily life, she will absolutely use only cat-themed items if they have cat elements, and will not use anything else.

After paying and coming out, carrying the shopping bag containing the cat slippers, Yukino looked even happier than when she bought the boots.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "How about we check out another cat cafe around here?"

Yukino shook her head with difficulty after hearing this: "No, it's almost time for dinner. Maybe next time. We've been to this place twice before, so let's talk about it another time."

Yukino has been to almost every cat cafe in Chiba City, and she has visited each one at least twice.

So now, Yukino is still interested in cat cafes, but not as much as she was at the beginning.

Moreover, Yukino wanted to try something different on their date today.

Soon, Yukino spotted a facility not far ahead, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Let's go play that!

Following the direction Yukino pointed, Luo Bai also saw the machines placed there.

"Um... a photo booth?"

Luo Bai definitely didn't film this with Yukino.

Seeing Yukino's expectant eyes, Luo Bai smiled and agreed, "Okay, let's go film it then."

They lifted the curtain, stepped into the photo booth, paid, and began choosing the designs they wanted.

Although Luo Bai had never played this before, it was a very common game in China, and he had seen it many times, so he knew how to play it to some extent.

Soon, at Yukino's insistence, they selected quite a few cat patterns, and the two hugged each other and started taking pictures.

After the initial nervousness, Yukino got used to the photo booth game and happily posed with Luo Bai, taking several rounds of photos and finally getting a lot of photo booth pictures.

Looking at the twenty-odd photos, Yukino smiled with satisfaction.

"The photos are pretty good."

Luo Bai looked at the photo and nodded, "Yes, we all look good in photos. It's almost time, let's go have dinner first, and then we can play outside for a while."

At 10 p.m., after enjoying a candlelight dinner and strolling around the nearby shopping street, Luo Bai and Xue Nai finally returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, Hoshino Ai, who was waiting in the living room, was the first to jump up and rush to Luo Bai.

"Brother Luo Bai, you're finally back!"

Luo Bai hugged Hoshino Ai, who had thrown herself at him, and said with a smile, "I already said I would come back, why are you so excited?"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

Looking up at Luo Bai with a silly grin, Hoshino Ai asked curiously, "Where did you two go on your date today?"

"I didn't go to many places. I just strolled around the streets, had dinner, and then wandered around the commercial area before coming back."

As he spoke, Luo Bai looked at Yukino beside him.

"If we're talking about something different, taking photo booth pictures should count, right?"

"Huh? A photo booth?"

Hoshino Ai blinked and looked at Yukino, who had taken out a photo booth picture.

Volume 1: Chapter 491 A Date with Shinobu Kocho (1/2)

It was only after Yukino took out the photo booth that everyone realized they had completely overlooked it.

It's such a great keepsake for couples, why didn't you think of it?

So Hoshino Ai immediately grabbed Luo Bai and said, "Luo Bai-ge, let's go film tomorrow too!"

Looking at the girls, Luo Bai knew he was going to have to take several more photo booth pictures.

"Sure, there are plenty of these things in the city, you can go anytime you want to take pictures."

At this moment, Xia Shi and Tina also ran over. The two little girls were clearly a bit sleepy, but they still jumped around and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Brother, we want to take pictures too!"

"We want to film it too!"

Luo Bai smiled and patted their heads, saying, "Okay, but now you should go upstairs to sleep. Come on, I'll take you to brush your teeth."

After Luo Bai led the two girls upstairs, Yukino was also pulled to sit down on the sofa by the others, who asked about her date that day.

Yukino took out the boots and slippers she had bought while shopping that day from her bracelet and briefly explained them to her.

"There wasn't anything special going on. It was just the same as usual: shopping, then having a candlelight dinner, and then taking a walk for a while before coming back."

After saying that, she looked happily at her cat slippers; she really liked them.

Hoshino Ai was also looking forward to her date with Luo Bai the next day.

How exciting the date was didn't matter to Hoshino Ai; what mattered most was who she was with.

Looking at Hoshino Ai, Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "Tomorrow's date is Ai's, so what about the next few days? Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, who are you planning to come for those three days? I think one day of Saturday and Sunday should be Utaha's, and the other day, Haruno-nee?"

Yang Nai nodded and said, "Shi Yu and I will decide on the weekend. Of course, we definitely won't take up a whole day of Xiao Bai's time, so you can rest assured about that."

Then Mai said, "I don't need to for now. I have exams next week, so I need to concentrate."

Let's talk about it after the exam.

After discussing it quietly for a while, Xiao Li Mao and Mi Yu said, "Mi Yu and I can go on the same day. We can go out and have some fun after training. It's just the two of us, so how about Friday?"

Everyone naturally has no problem with this.

Then, regarding Wednesday and Thursday, Wednesday was assigned to Shinobu Kocho, while Thursday was left vacant.

However, everyone thought that this day would mostly be taken by Xia Shi and Tina, the two little girls, who would drag Luo Bai out to play, since they had just been clamoring to take some photo booth pictures.

Half an hour later, after coaxing the two little girls into bed, Luo Bai finally went downstairs.

"Everyone, it's about time to go and rest."
