My fiancée Yukino

Faced with Yui Yuigahama's pitiful gaze, Hachiman Hikigaya, though he really wanted to refuse, somehow agreed anyway.

"Well, after a simple investigation, it should be possible... right?"

Luo Bai and Xue Nai exchanged a glance after hearing this, and neither of them objected.

Anyway, they were too lazy to investigate. One of them wasn't in Class F, and the other was too lazy to communicate with Hayama's little group.

If Yui Yuigahama wants to investigate, then go ahead. With Yumiko Miura around, even though she's not a great person, she'll still take good care of Yui.

As for Hachiman, there aren't many people in the class who can talk to him, so it's quite convenient for him to secretly observe things.

After figuring out the whole story and reviewing the text messages on Yuihama's phone, Mai Sakurajima laughed and said, "As expected, I just joined the Service Club and already encountered something like this. This place is certainly lively."

Yui Yuigahama also temporarily put aside the matter of the serial letters and talked to Mai Sakurajima about the requests that the Service Club had received this semester.

Volume 1: Chapter 71 Renting an Apartment (2/2)

At 4:30 p.m., the club activity ended, and everyone left the school together.

There weren't many people left at the school by then, so Mai Sakurajima didn't attract much attention as she walked around campus.

After leaving the school gate and saying goodbye to Hikigaya and Yuihama, Luo Bai and his two companions headed towards the station to return to.

Looking at Mai Sakurajima, Luo Bai asked, "So, senpai, you'll be going back to school for regular classes tomorrow?"

"That's right, tomorrow."

Come back to class.

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said with a smile, "My transfer announcement will be broadcast live on Sunday afternoon. The company is already making the arrangements. I won't have any major work for the next month, just one commercial shoot. I'll spend the rest of my time attending classes at school and enjoying the campus life I've never had the chance to experience before."

Luo Bai said with some surprise, "The press conference is this Sunday? That's quite efficient."

“That’s right, so I’m very satisfied with this contract. The terms and conditions have been very favorable to me.” Looking at Luo Bai and Yukino, Mai Sakurajima said earnestly, “I’m very grateful for your help this time. Otherwise, I really don’t know what would have happened.”

"Senior, you've apologized so many times already, there's no need for that."

Luo Bai waved her hand and said with a smile, "If you really want to thank me, then whenever my family's company needs someone to shoot an advertisement in the future, please make sure your schedule is open and the fee is lower."

Mai Sakurajima readily agreed: "If needed, no problem!"

Soon, the three returned to the apartment. Mai Sakurajima went back to her own place to change back into her everyday clothes, and then went to the apartment next door.

Luo Bai and Yukino had also changed their clothes. Because of Yukino's health, Luo Bai did most of the cooking today.

Seeing Luo Bai walk into the kitchen, Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment and said, "It seems I also need to learn how to cook properly. I can't always freeload off you guys. I also need to find an apartment quickly."

Yukino didn't seem to mind. She turned on her Switch, picked up the controller, and said, "If you can't find a better place, Senpai, I can rent you Luo Bai's apartment. He already bought it. Anyway, he doesn't live there anymore; he lives here now."

Mai Sakurajima was indeed quite interested in this suggestion, as the apartment here had a very nice environment and complete surrounding facilities.

More importantly, there are people I know around, so I won't be all alone after finding a new apartment with no one to talk to.

"That's a good idea. I'll go ask Junior Brother Luo Bai."

Nodding, Mai Sakurajima got up and ran to the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, Mai Sakurajima approached Luo Bai and asked, "Junior, may I rent your apartment next door?"

"Huh? Rent my apartment?"

Stopping his work of chopping vegetables, Luo Bai looked at Sakurajima Mai and asked, "Senior, do you want to live here?"

Mai Sakurajima laughed and said, "Yeah, renting here is definitely better than going to an unfamiliar place. I know two of you here too. As for the rent, that's easy to talk about. I know the rent for this kind of apartment, so I'll just open the door."

"Money is a small matter. Since you want to rent it, senior, of course you can."

Luo Bai naturally had no reason to object. Since he was already living with Yukino, it would be a waste to leave the house next door empty. He might as well rent it to Sakurajima Mai.

"That's great!" Mai Sakurajima was also very happy to see Luo Bai agree. "How much is the rent? Generally, a two-bedroom apartment like this would cost about 12 yen a month."

The apartments here are larger than usual. Although they're not in the luxury areas of Tokyo, they still cost over 100,000 yen.

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right. I checked before I came, and it is indeed about that price. But if you rent it, it will only cost 100,000 a month, utilities will be extra, and I won't let you pay for the internet."

This price is practically a friend's price.

Mai Sakurajima readily agreed: "Okay, let's find a time to sign the contract!"

"A contract? It seems like a lot of trouble, especially since I'm not an adult yet," Luo Bai said after thinking for a moment. "I trust you, senior, so it's okay if I don't sign it. What do you think, senior?"

After listening, Mai Sakurajima thought about it for a moment.

"That works too. I'll just pay six months' rent upfront! Junior, give me your bank card number and I'll transfer the money to you."

"So straightforward?" Luo Bai said with a smile. "As for the bank card, senior, you can go to Yukino and have her take it from my wallet."

"OK, I understand, thank you very much!"

After thanking her, Mai Sakurajima ran out of the kitchen to find Yukino.

Ten minutes later, Luo Bai received a text message on his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was a transfer notification, with 75 yen deposited directly into his account.

"kindness?"

Upon seeing this number, Luo Bai paused for a moment, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

"Senior, isn't this amount a bit off?"

“That’s right,” Mai Sakurajima said with a smile. “I’ll calculate the monthly utility bill at 20,000 yen and pay it all at once.”

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

Luo Bai accepted the money without hesitation; considering the rent here, the price was indeed not expensive at all. Sakurajima Mai also had her own money, so paying six months' rent was absolutely no problem for her.

After dinner, Luo Bai, having eaten and drunk his fill, went back to his room to make a phone call to arrange the upcoming workplace visit, while Yukino and Mai Sakurajima watched TV in the living room.

Looking at the jujube tea in Yukino's cup, Mai Sakurajima asked curiously, "Yukino, are you drinking this because you're on your period?"

Yukino nodded: "Luo Bai made it for me. He said his mother drinks it too, and it's really good for her health. There are several other kinds as well."

After listening, Mai Sakurajima said with great interest, "Hmm, I've got it. I'll be there soon anyway, so I can get some to try. By the way, now that you're living together, do you have...?"

When asked this question, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but blush.

Although she has always been in the entertainment industry, Mai Sakurajima has never been involved in any bad things and remains very innocent.

Yukino reacted similarly, shaking her head, glancing at the still-closed bedroom door, and whispering, "No, it hasn't come to that yet."

"Wow...really?"

Sakurajima Mai was quite surprised. "So Luo Bai is such a patient person? Yukino, you're so cute, I thought he wouldn't be able to hold back."

Mai Sakurajima's words also made Yukino hesitate.

Volume 1: Chapter 72 On the Way to School (1/2)

Early the next morning.

Yukino woke up before Lobo.

Leaning against Luo Bai's chest, their bodies were pressed tightly together.

Although Yukino is not short, she is still quite a bit shorter than Luo Bai, who is almost 1.8 meters tall. Her whole body was tightly wrapped around Luo Bai's arm.

Because it was morning, Yukino could clearly feel the physiological changes that boys and girls experience in the morning.

Yukino shifted left and right, trying to get up, and felt the strangeness even more clearly, her face turning even redder.

Just then, because of Yukino's actions, Luo Bai gradually woke up.

Opening his eyes, Luo Bai looked at Yukino, whose face was flushed, and yawned, saying, "Ah~~ Good morning, Yukino. Why is your face so red? Is it because you're hot?"

Yukino glared at Luo Bai and said, "You know perfectly well what you're doing!"

"kindness?"

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening. He smiled wryly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's a normal phenomenon."

talking

He also loosened his embrace and helped Yukino sit up.

Looking at Luo Bai, who was still lying down, Yukino pursed her lips and asked in an almost inaudible voice, "Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in like this?"

Luo Bai nodded somewhat hesitantly: "Yeah, a little, but it's alright, just bear with it. Yukino, don't overthink it, it's fine."

Although that's what Luo Bai said, Yukino knew it couldn't be that simple.

After an internal struggle, Yukino made up her mind and, under Luo Bai's shocked gaze, reached out her hand...

Fifteen minutes later, Yukino, her face flushed, rushed out of the room and ran to the bathroom.

Luo Bai, on the other hand, drew back the curtains, opened the windows for ventilation, and then threw all the tissues she had used for cleaning into the trash can.

Lying back on the bed, Luo Bai's face was filled with a sense of disorientation.

Several minutes passed before he finally let out a sigh of relief and got up to make the bed.

As she left the bedroom and walked towards the living room, the bathroom door opened a crack. Yukino peeked at Luo Bai through the crack and said, "Bring me a change of clothes."

Hearing the sound of water inside, Luo Bai knew that Yukino was taking a bath, so he nodded and went back to the room to bring out a set of clothes for Yukino.

Having been seen from head to toe by Luo Bai, helping with that outfit wasn't something Yukino found hard to accept now.

Upon arriving at the bathroom door, Luo Bai handed over a complete set of clothes.

"Here, hurry up and wash so you don't catch a cold."

Yukino nodded, reached out her fair arm to take the clothes inside, and then quickly closed the door.

Luo Bai smiled and stretched his body in the living room.

Looking at the living room, which still had a lot of empty space, Luo Bai wondered if he should install a treadmill there, so that it would be more convenient for him to exercise in the morning.

Minutes later, Yukino came out after taking a shower and said to Luo Bai, "I'm ready. You can go take a shower now. I'll prepare breakfast."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Luo Bai nodded, went back to her room to get a change of clothes, and then took a shower.

After quickly washing and drying her hair, Luo Bai went to the kitchen and saw Yukino wearing an apron, frying bacon and eggs.

Luo Bai walked over and hugged Yukino from behind.

Gently nuzzling Yukino's cheek, Luo Bai looked at the poached eggs in the pan and said, "I want my poached eggs with runny yolks."

"Knowing your taste, I'll make it with a molten center."

Looking down at Luo Bai's mischievous hand on her waist, Yukino said weakly, "Don't move. Go and call Sakurajima-senpai. She should be up by now."

After kissing Yukino on the cheek, Luo Bai finally let go of her and left the kitchen.

Arriving next door, although it was his own house, it was now rented to Mai Sakurajima, so Luo Bai still chose to ring the doorbell.

When the doorbell rang, Mai Sakurajima, who was already up, immediately came to open the door.

Good morning, junior Luo Bai.

Wearing a school uniform shirt, Mai Sakurajima smiled and asked, "Is it time for breakfast?"

"Yes, senior, just come over when you're ready. Breakfast will be ready soon, so I won't lock the door."

"I'll pack my things and come over!"

After giving the notification, Luo Bai returned to help Yukino finish the last bit of breakfast, making sandwiches and brewing coffee.

Soon, Mai Sakurajima arrived with her schoolbag, and the three of them ate breakfast together.

Picking up the freshly made, still-warm sandwich, Mai Sakurajima happily took a bite and said, "Renting here was definitely the right decision. Oh right, I don't think I paid for food yet, I'll make it up to you later!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need for that. You can just pay for the groceries when you go grocery shopping occasionally, senior."
