On the sofa in the living room, Luo Bai's parents, who should have been in China, unexpectedly appeared at Yukinoshita's house.

Luo Bai couldn't help but look at Yang Nai.

Yang Nai spread her hands innocently and said, "Don't look at me, I didn't know Uncle and Aunt were coming either. They weren't here when I went out this afternoon."

At this moment, Luo's mother stood up, walked over, and said, "You've been here for almost a month now, so of course we had to come and see how you're doing. There hasn't been much work at the company lately, so we just came straight over."

That's what she said, but after walking over, Luo's mother immediately hugged Yukino.

"Yukino, come here, let me take a good look at you!"

"Aunt..."

Being hugged by her future mother-in-law, Yukino was quite shy, and her ears turned red.

Gently stroking Yukino's head, Mrs. Luo said happily, "Yes, you're getting prettier and prettier. Shiro didn't bully you, did he?"

Yukino shook her head: "He didn't bully me, he was very good to me."

Luo Bai, standing to the side, agreed, saying, "That's right, I'm very good to Yukino, Mom, can you please stop doubting me?"

Luo's mother rolled her eyes at her son, then let go of Yukino, turned to Haruno, and took Haruno's hand.

"It's been so long since I've seen Yang Nai. She's gotten even more beautiful."

Yang Nai said with a bright smile, "Auntie, it's been a long time! How many days are you staying this time?"

"About a week. I'll go back next Sunday. Everything at the company is arranged."

Then, everyone sat down. There was still some time before dinner, so they could chat for a while.

Luo Bai sat down next to his father and asked curiously, "You didn't come here because of business?"

"I haven't been busy lately, just like your mother said, I really did come to see you all," Mr. Luo said, patting his son on the shoulder. "You have exams next week, right?"

“Yeah, it’s just a small test, nothing difficult.” Luo Bai shrugged. “I’ve been helping two club members review these past few days, and I’ve also reviewed it myself. I’m planning to take the top spot in the grade from Yukino.”

Yukino, who had been talking to Luo Bai's mother, immediately turned around upon hearing this and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "I won't lose to you!"

Luo Bai smiled and winked: "Then let's give it a try."

Yukino glared at Luo Bai, and then Luo Bai reached out and took her hand.

With the parents present, Luo Bai's action immediately made Yukino blush with embarrassment, and she even forgot to struggle.

Seeing the interaction between the two children, the parents all nodded in satisfaction.

If the child's relationship is fine, that would be even better.

After the two families had dinner together that evening, Luo Bai and Xue Nai prepared to go back home, as they had school the next day.

Luo's parents didn't leave and planned to stay at Yukino's house, but they would visit Luo Bai and Yukino whenever they had time.

The driver from the Yukinoshita family took us back home.

The two sat in the car, and Yukino let Luo Bai hold her, saying softly, "I didn't expect Uncle and Aunt to come."

"I didn't expect that either." Luo Bai nodded with a smile. "They didn't reveal any information, even though they called me these past two days."

Luo Bai was indeed surprised that his parents were coming over, but he was still quite happy.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "My parents should be coming to visit us in the next few days. When they do, how about you, their daughter-in-law, show off your cooking skills?"

Yukino realized what was happening, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"I'll cook dinner for the next few days; I need to practice more."

Yukinoko values ​​Luo Bai's parents very much and wants to show them her best side.

Luo Bai lowered his head and kissed Yukino's forehead, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, we have the exam on Tuesday, they won't come so soon. It should be on Thursday or Friday, so you'll definitely have time to practice."

Yukino nodded, then slapped away the thieving hand that Luo Bai had placed on her lap.

..........

On Tuesday, after a final day of preparation, the students of Zongwu High School faced their first exam of the semester.

The exams are held over two days. Tuesday's exams cover Chinese and Mathematics, while Wednesday's exams cover English, Physics, and Chemistry.

Some other subjects will not be tested this time, but they will still be tested in the final exam.

After the first exam in Chinese in the morning, it was lunchtime, and Luo Bai and the other three brought their lunches to the club.

This was a subject that Hachiman Hikigaya excelled at, so his expression, like Yukino Rakubai's, was quite relaxed. Yui Yuigahama was also doing well because she had prepared thoroughly, except that she was slightly disappointed when she realized she had gotten two questions wrong after asking for a few answers, but passing was definitely not a problem.

After opening his bento box and starting to eat, Luo Bai looked at Hachiman Hikigaya and said, "Math this afternoon, Hachiman, how's your preparation?"

Hachiman nodded with a look of grim determination: "Yes, it all comes down to this."

Volume 1: Chapter 45 Exam Results (1/2)

The afternoon math exam, like the morning Chinese exam, didn't make Luo Bai feel nervous at all.

After a quick glance at the test papers, Luo Bai knew he had definitely gotten a perfect score on the math exam.

After an hour and a half of exam time, Luo Bai, who had already finished writing the exam paper and carefully checked it twice, handed it in.

After the proctor collected all the exam papers and left, Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Going to the club?"

Luo Bai nodded and began packing his things: "How did it go?"

"I feel okay. I shouldn't have gotten the basic questions wrong, but I'm a little unsure about some of the more difficult ones. However, I should be able to pass."

"That's fine."

Luo Bai didn't have high expectations for Bikiguchi Hachiman. He had previously produced only single-digit scores, so passing this time was already a significant improvement. Achieving a much higher score was unrealistic; even the best teacher couldn't do that unless they predicted every single question.

After the two finished packing their things, Yui Yuigahama quickly called them back and left the classroom with them.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yumiko Miura couldn't help but purse her lips, and then left with her small group of people.

When I arrived at the Service Club, Yukino was already there, boiling water to make tea.

Seeing Luo Bai approach, Yukino immediately took out her notebook, opened it, and said, "Let's check the answers!"

"Yukino, you're really in a hurry."

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head, took Yukino's notebook, looked at the answers to the questions, and said, "Hmm, they're all the later, more difficult questions. My answers are the same as yours, Yukino, so it seems we both got them right. Yukino, can you get a perfect score on this math test? I'm definitely going to get a perfect score!"

Yukino nodded confidently: "I've checked all the other questions, there's absolutely no way I could have made a mistake, so I should also get a perfect score."

Yui Yuigahama then came over, glanced at the answers in Yukino's notebook, thought for a moment, and exclaimed with delight, "Ah! I got one right! Yay, I feel like I'll get a good grade this time!"

Yui Yuigahama doesn't have high expectations for herself. Passing is no problem, and it would be even better if she could score higher.

And if she gets good grades, she can ask her family for more pocket money, right?

Hachiman Hikigaya leisurely strolled over and glanced at the materials. He realized he had only gotten a few of the smaller questions right, but he was still quite satisfied. After all, he knew his own level very well, and it was already quite good that he had been able to review to this extent in a week.

Five minutes later, the black tea was ready, and everyone stayed in the service department, leisurely reading books and preparing for tomorrow's final exam.

......

The exams officially ended on Wednesday afternoon, and all results will be released on Thursday morning.

As for the English test paper in the morning, the teachers...

The grades had already been completed, and Hiratsuka Shizuka was the first to know her scores for the three subjects and went to the Service Club.

She sat down, unceremoniously took a cookie and ate it, then took a sip of tea. Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the calm-faced Luo Bai and the slightly serious-looking Yukino, and said with a smile, "Although the results for two subjects haven't been announced yet, the results for three subjects are out. Luo Bai got 96 in Chinese, and Yukino got 95. You both got full marks in math. As for English this morning, Luo Bai got 97 and Yukino got 95. Yukino made one grammar mistake."

Upon hearing the score, Yukino frowned slightly, meaning that her total score across the three subjects was now three points lower than Luo Bai's.

Although the difference of three points seems small, Yukino knows very well that the two exams that just ended were not difficult. Physics and chemistry are subjects that Luo Bai excels in, and the two of them probably got full marks.

In other words, I can declare defeat in advance for this exam. Based on this score, Luo Bai should be first in the grade, while I will be second.

Seeing Yukino's frowning and sullen expression, Luo Bai smiled, took Yukino's hand, and said, "You lost. A bet is a bet."

Yukino looked at Luo Bai and said defiantly, "I made a mistake this time, but I won't lose to you next time!"

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow: "Then, how about we have another competition during the final exams?"

"Compare!"

Yukino refused to believe it; she was absolutely certain she could win. The difference this time was only three points, and if she was more careful next time, she definitely wouldn't lose!

While the young couple were bickering, Hiratsuka Shizuka also informed Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui of their grades.

Hachiman Hikigaya's Japanese language score was excellent, 92 points, which was outstanding. But what surprised Shizuka Hiratsuka the most was his math score, which was 63 points, a passing grade!

Upon hearing his score, Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Shall I treat you to a drink tomorrow at noon?"

Luo Bai smiled and agreed.

Yui Yuigahama's grades were also good. Her grades, which had always been in the middle range, improved in every subject this time, all of which were above 70 points, and even her Japanese language score reached 82 points.

Upon learning her score, Yui Yuigahama jumped up with joy.

"Yay! Thank you, Yukino, it's all thanks to you!"

Yukino calmly shook her head: "It's no use if I teach you alone. This is the result of your own hard work, Yuihama-kun."

After informing the students of their scores, Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up with a smile: "You all did very well this time, especially Yui and Hikigaya. But don't be arrogant. You need to stabilize your scores. I hope that you can achieve similar or even better scores in the final exams."

After saying that, she left the Service Department. She had to go and tally the grades of her students; there was still a lot of work to be done to wrap up the exams.

After the exams, and since the Service Department didn't have any important tasks or assignments today, everyone left the school early and went home after having tea and some snacks.

On the way back, Luo Bai held Yukino's small hand and looked at the girl's delicate profile, saying, "Yukino, I won this time. Now I have to make a request!"

Upon hearing that Luo Bai had finally brought up this matter, Yukino said, "Okay, but let's make it clear first, you can't make any unreasonable demands, or I'll tell Auntie."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't make any unreasonable demands on my Yukino."

Back home, Luo's mother called. She and her husband knew that the exams were over today, so they planned to come over that evening to have dinner with the two children and see how they lived.

Yukino, who had just relaxed after finishing her exams, immediately perked up again and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Volume 1: Chapter 46 Luo Bai's Request (2/2)

At five o'clock, the apartment doorbell rang.

Luo Bai went to open the door and saw his parents standing there.

"Mom and Dad, come in quickly."

After changing her shoes inside the apartment, Luo's mother saw Yukino busy in the kitchen and immediately glared at her son.

"Are you making Yukino cook all by herself?"

Luo Bai said innocently, "No, I wanted to help, but Yukino knew you were coming and insisted on doing it herself, and even kicked me out of the kitchen."

Upon hearing this, Luo's mother was deeply moved and immediately went to the kitchen to find Yukino.

Luo's father sat down in the living room with his son.

After looking around the apartment, Luo's father nodded: "It seems you clean it regularly. Since you're living here, you should be more diligent, okay? By the way, Yukino lives next door. Do you usually stay here?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "No, sometimes I'm here, sometimes I'm at Yukino's. We usually divide the cooking and making bento boxes. And now I've bought two cats for Yukino, so most of the time I'm at Yukino's."

The parents all knew that Yukino liked cats, so Luo's father wasn't surprised.

Just then, Luo Bai's father arrived, and Luo Bai immediately brought up the school and workplace visit in May.

Upon hearing his son's idea, Luo's father nodded immediately: "No problem. Anyway, the company will be yours in the future, and you already have the contact information of the person in charge here. I'll talk to them tomorrow, and then you can contact them when the time comes and have them arrange things for you. But, is it okay if I just go to the advertising company?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's only three days, just a simple tour. Advertising companies offer the most opportunities for participation; we can contribute our own creative ideas. Other companies won't allow for meaningful involvement, right?"

Luo's father nodded: "Yes, that's true, but you and Yukino aren't in the same class, right? Can you arrange for them to be together?"

"I'll ask the teacher tomorrow; it should be possible to arrange it. If not, I'll switch classes, or Yukino can switch classes. Anyway, no one in Yukino's original class is close to her."

"kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Luo's father frowned. "Bullying?"

"No, it's just that some people can't stand those who are better than them. Besides, Yukino isn't the type to pander to others, so she naturally looks down on those people and eventually gets ostracized by those around her."

“I see. Then you can talk to Yukino later and ask her to transfer to your class. With you here, we adults won’t get involved in this. You go and talk to Yukino.”

"Okay, I know."

Although he agreed, Luo Bai couldn't be sure if Yukino would actually agree.
