My fiancée Yukino

Saki Kawasaki frowned and said, "When I was in junior high school, I worked part-time at a fast food restaurant near my house for two weeks during winter break. It wasn't difficult at all. I got the hang of it in two days. Frying things and stuff, well, there's a timer, so you don't need to worry about it much."

Yui Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks, glanced at the bento box that Saki Kawasaki was holding, and said dejectedly, "As expected, I'm the dumbest one. Kawasaki, you're so good at cooking, working in the kitchen of a fast food restaurant will definitely be no problem for you. Unlike me, I can't even make a cookie properly, and it looks like poison."

"Biscuits...poison?"

Kawasaki Saki was utterly astonished that these two things could be connected, staring in shock at Yuigahama Yui.

"You really are a talent."

After lunch, Mai Sakurajima immediately took out her phone and asked Saki Kawasaki and Yui Yuigahama to stand up so she could take a few full-body photos of them.

"nice."

Looking at the photos of the two of them on her phone, Mai Sakurajima said with satisfaction, "We'll have the results by tomorrow morning, and I'll let you know then. Come on, Kawasaki, let's exchange contact information!"

Saki Kawasaki nodded, took out her phone, and exchanged contact information with everyone.

Looking at Kawasaki Saki, Luo Bai asked, "I just remembered, Kawasaki, did you tell your parents about saving up for your college entrance exams?"

Kawasaki Saki glanced at the many new contacts on her phone and nodded, "Yes, I told them. When they first found out, they insisted that I didn't need to work, that they could work for me. But I didn't agree. In the end, we agreed that I would only work on weekends and holidays, and that I would save up for tuition through scholarships. Only then did they agree."

Many high school students in Japan work part-time, so there's nothing inherently wrong with that. The main problem is that Saki Kawasaki's previous part-time work arrangements were too outrageous, exceeding the normal hours.

With a faint smile on her face, Kawasaki Saki said, "From now on, apart from the occasional part-time job, I will focus all my energy on studying and strive to get first place in my grade by the end of this semester."

"kindness?"

Upon hearing that she was first in her grade, Yukino's competitive spirit immediately kicked in.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that, being number one in the grade is mine!"

At this moment, Luo Bai slowly raised his hand: "Well, you can't say for sure. I've already reserved the top spot in the grade."

The tension between the three of them instantly flared up.

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama said enviously, "Everyone is so amazing, you're all so good at studying, right, Hima?"

With dead fish eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at Yui Yuigahama and said, "Although my science grades are bad, I'm among the top in my grade when it comes to humanities."

"..."

Yui Yuigahama almost forgot that the guy next to her was a genius who excelled in only one subject.

Then, she looked at Mai Sakurajima for help.

Mai Sakurajima returned a gentle smile and looked at her, saying, "As for me, although I don't come to school very often, I've consistently been in the top ten of my grade for the past two years. With a little more effort, I think being in the top five shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?"

"Ugh! So I'm the only stupid one after all?"

Yui Yuigahama was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly out of place there, and then she threw herself into Yukino's arms.

"Yukino, please teach me how to study! I want to become a top student too!"

Volume 1: Chapter 86 A Chance Encounter at the Supermarket, The Kobayashi Family Moving (1/2)

Teaching Yui Yuigahama to study is not difficult, but turning her into a top student is really a challenge for Yukino.

"Yuihama-kun, if you want to hold study sessions in the future, that's fine, but becoming a top student depends on yourself. I can't help you with that."

"Oh dear! How could this happen?"

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino with a sullen expression.

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Luo Bai reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him back.

"Just give me a little hug, don't keep trying to cling to my fiancée."

Hey! Stop pulling my collar!

Pulled out of Yukino's arms by Luo Bai, Yui Yuigahama glared at Luo Bai with dissatisfaction, straightened her collar, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so possessive, Luo Bai-kun."

"Really? I think it's normal."

Luo Bai shrugged nonchalantly and then poured Yukino a cup of tea.

Kawasaki Saki glanced at Luo Bai and Yukino sitting together, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. Her current goal was to study hard, not to find a boyfriend or anything like that!

Noon

The break ended quickly, and it was time for afternoon classes to begin.

The first period in the afternoon was Chinese class. As soon as the bell rang, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked into the classroom with her lesson plan.

After tapping the table twice to quiet everyone down, Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "Before we begin class, let me tell you about next week's workplace visits. It'll be three days, Monday through Wednesday. We'll depart at 12:30 PM and finish at 4:30 PM. Each of you will be in your assigned groups and at your designated destinations on time. Then, submit your workplace visit reports by next Friday. Don't even think about slacking off these three days. The school has already contacted all the companies and factories you're going to and prepared the attendance sheets. So, pay attention, understand? Okay, let's begin class!"

Yawning, Luo Bai listened to Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, took out his textbook, opened it, and thought about the workplace visit.

Three days is enough time. Based on the location of their own advertising company, they finish at 4:30 and get home a little after 5:00, so it's not too far off.

Moreover, it's in Luo Bai's own company, so it's definitely much easier than going to those companies or factories that are arranged by the school.

The only problem is that I have to write a report after this is over, which is really troublesome, but I can't not write it.

Sigh, I'll just do a shoddy job then.

After afternoon classes, the Service Club did not have any activities today. Mai Sakurajima needed to go home early to prepare for her trip to the company tomorrow. Luo Bai and Yukino also needed to go to the supermarket to buy groceries for the weekend, as they didn't have much food left at home.

After leaving the school, Mai Sakurajima went back first, while Luo Bai and Yukino held hands and took a car to the largest supermarket in Chiba City.

They pulled a shopping cart and started shopping in the supermarket.

Upon arriving at the meat section, Luo Bai looked at the items and said, "Meat. We don't have much meat left at home. Let's buy some steaks and chicken wings."

Yukino nodded; she also quite liked chicken wings.

After grabbing two large bags of chicken wings, I picked out some decent steaks and put them in the cart, then continued looking at pork.

Luo Bai picked up a box of pork ribs and looked at it, then said, "Xue Nai, should we stay home tomorrow, or go out somewhere to play?"

Linking her arm with Luo Bai's, Yukino shook her head and said, "I don't really want to go out."

"Okay, then let's stay at home."

Luo Bai finally picked out the pork belly and ribs, put them in the cart, and said, "When we get back later, please help me move out the clothes and other odds and ends that are still in my original room. Now that the apartment has been rented to my senior, I need to get my own things out as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll get it sorted out as soon as I get back."

After buying meat and some vegetables, the two went to the snack section, where they ran into Thor and Kanna, who were also shopping.

"Hey! Thor, Kanna, good afternoon!"

Tohru was surprised to see Luo Bai and Yukino arrive, and nodded with a smile: "Hello, are you out of school?"

"Yes, I came out to buy some things and then go home."

Kanna, on the other hand, looked curiously at Luo Bai and Yukino's school uniforms, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Is going to school fun?"

Luo Bai bent down, smiled, and patted Kanna's head, saying, "Are you interested in school? Well, school is a place where everyone learns together and makes friends. I'm in high school now, and the academic pressure at Zongwu High School is quite high. But Kanna, if you go to elementary school, you'll probably be quite happy every day."

At this moment, Thor, who was standing nearby, also said, "Kanna has been really interested in the elementary school students going to and from school lately. After Kobayashi found out, he was also considering letting Kanna go to elementary school so that she could experience more of human life. But before that, we have to move, because the place we live now is not big enough."

"Are you moving?" Luo Bai asked Tohru. "If you haven't found a suitable house yet, you can ask Yukino's family for help. They specialize in construction and real estate."

Yukino smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you haven't made a choice yet, I can contact my mother and ask her to find a suitable house according to your needs."

"Oh! That's wonderful!" Tohru happily grasped Yukino's hand, her face beaming. "Yesterday, Kobayashi even took the day off to look for an apartment, but he couldn't find anything suitable. Yukino, I'm counting on you!"

"no big deal."

In the rental business, Yukinoshita's family does indeed have a company operating it, and Kobayashi and her friends' job of finding a house can be seen as them bringing in business for their own company.

The four of them strolled around the area, picked out some things, and after learning about Kobayashi and the others' requirements for choosing a house, Luo Bai and Yukino said their goodbyes and left.

After checking out of the supermarket, Yukino immediately called her mother and got the phone number of the manager of the local rental company. She then told him her requirements for finding a place to live.

The manager readily agreed to the boss's second daughter's request, and since she didn't ask for any cost price, just a slight discount, the manager was even more willing to help.

After hanging up the phone, Yukino smiled and looked at Luo Bai: "If nothing unexpected happens, Kobayashi-nee and the others will be able to find a suitable house tomorrow."

Luo Bai nodded: "That's really good, but I really didn't expect that Kanna wanted to go to school."

"It should be very interesting."

Yukino imagined Kanna's small figure carrying a small schoolbag, and couldn't help but smile like a doting aunt.

Volume 1: Chapter 87 Saturday (2/2)

Back home, after putting all the ingredients in the refrigerator, Luo Bai and Xue Nai went next door and moved all their things out of their room.

The main suspicious items are autumn and winter clothes, a desktop computer in the room, and some game cartridges placed there.

After moving the computer monitor back, Luo Bai looked at Sakurajima Mai and said, "Alright, everything's moved in. The room is also very clean, so you can move in right away, senpai."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "Yes, once I'm done with these few days, I'll pack everything up and move into the master bedroom."

After unpacking, Luo Bai went back to his and Yukino's bedroom to assemble the computer they had brought in. Since they usually studied together in the living room, the desk in the bedroom wasn't used much for reading, so they could put the computer there.

As I came out of the room, I saw Yukino and Mai Sakurajima examining the game cartridges and PS5 game discs that I had brought over.

"So, is there anything you want to play?"

Seeing Luo Bai come out, Sakurajima Mai smiled and showed off the Just Dance game box in her hand, saying, "Have you played this?"

"I bought it to try it out, but found it wasn't really suitable for me, so I'm keeping it as a collectible." Luo Bai sat down next to Xue Nai, stretched, and said, "Dancing isn't my thing. My mom dragged me to learn ballroom dancing, and it took me ages to even learn the basics, so this is even less of a challenge. What, are you interested, senior?"

"Yeah, it sounds like it'll be really interesting!"

Opening the box and taking out the game cartridge, Mai Sakurajima looked at Yukino and said, "How about it, Yukino? Want to try it out? You should be feeling alright today, right?"

Yukino nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, no problem, but dancing and stuff..."

Like Luo Bai, I only know a little ballroom dancing, which I learned when I was a child.

"Come on, let's have some fun! There's still some time before we have to make dinner!" After pulling Yukino to her feet, Sakurajima Mai looked at Luo Bai and said, "Luo Bai-senpai, why don't you come too? This should be a good place for several people to play together, right?"

"Huh? I want one too?"

Luo Bai pointed to himself, his face full of reluctance.

He had originally planned to sit aside, drink tea, and admire the beautiful girls dancing, but now he wanted to join in too?

Looking at Luo Bai, Yukino said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want to watch us dance from the sidelines, right? Get up now, Mr. Luo Bai, who wants to freeload."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that! How is it like getting something for free?"

Supporting his knees as he stood up, Luo Bai went to the TV cabinet, took out several Joy-Cons, then took the cartridge from Mai Sakurajima, switched it, and started shooting.

"It's rare for me to have another chance to appreciate your dance moves, and you can't even satisfy me with something as simple as this?"

Yukino's lips curled slightly, and she said with a smug tone, "Don't get your hopes up, let's get started."

"Alright, alright, then let's play for a little while."

After opening the game, Luo Bai handed the controllers to the two of them and then stood next to Yukino, saying, "You can choose which song you want."

Then, Yukino and Mai Sakurajima began to choose excitedly.

However, considering that neither of them had much dance experience, they chose a simple and soothing song first.

As the music started, Yukino and Mai Sakurajima began to move in sync with the characters on TV. Although Luo Bai was a little reluctant, he was forced to join in.

Fortunately, Luo Bai wasn't that thin-skinned, and he quickly relaxed after playing for a while.

It's not that difficult!

After dancing to three songs, although his embarrassing moment was witnessed, Luo Bai still managed to see the two beautiful girls' dance moves, so he could consider it a win.

After finishing the dance, Luo Bai wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and looked at the two of them, saying, "Alright, I'm done playing. You guys play here by yourselves. I'm going to cook."

Seeing Luo Bai go to the kitchen, Sakurajima Mai said to Yukino, "Let's play something else, it's getting a bit hot."

Yukino nodded, and the two sat down on the sofa to start choosing other games.

...........

Saturday, the perfect weekend has finally arrived.

After taking a comfortable nap with Yukino in his arms, Luo Bai and Yukino slowly got up at nine o'clock, ate something simple, and then started cleaning the house.

Although I bought a robot vacuum cleaner, I still need to clean some hard-to-reach places myself.

With rags in hand, Luo Bai and Xue Nai cleaned all the corners and windowsills of the house.

Of course, in addition to these, the cat beds and cat trees for the two cats were also washed and then taken to the balcony to dry.
