My fiancée Yukino

So Yukino suppressed her shyness and nodded directly, "Yes, I did it. Is there a problem? Or does my sister want to learn more about it from me?"

"what?"

Yang looked at Yukino in surprise, "I didn't expect little Yukino to be so direct. Come on, tell me how it feels?"

Really coming?

Yukino looked at Haruno, who had moved her chair over to her side again, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"If you want to know, go find a boyfriend yourself. I don't think my words can give you any advice."

"Tch, I don't want a boyfriend, wouldn't that just be letting someone else have it?" Yang Nai said nonchalantly, linking her arm with Yukino's. "Have you forgotten? I said I didn't want to get married. By the way, Shiro should put in a good word for me this time, right?"

"Yes, he hasn't forgotten. He's probably already talking about it now."

After a pause, Yukino looked at Haruno and said, "But sister, do you really not want to get married? To stay single forever?"

Yang Nai nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not like marriage... Not everyone can find a good boy like Shiro, like you, Yukino. So I think I'll pass. Being single is fine too. Hehe, as long as you don't look down on me when we're old, Yukino~"

Looking at her older sister who was leaning against her shoulder and rubbing against her, Yukino sighed helplessly.

"Sister, do you like Luo Bai?"

"..."

Yang Nai stopped moving, remained silent for two seconds, then looked up and stuck out her tongue.

"Did you see it?"

"Yes, I could tell, or rather, I could tell from a young age," Yukino said softly. "Apart from Luo Bai, I've never seen my sister with any other boy."

Their relationship was so good. I didn't understand it when I was little, but as I grew up, I understood it more and more.

"Hehe, I really noticed."

The smile on Yukino's face faded slightly, and she reached out to pat Yukino's head.

"Don't worry, I won't fight you for it. This time it's for real, I'm not lying."

Volume 1: Chapter 98 Haruno and Mai Sakurajima's First Meeting (1/2)

A dozen minutes later, the sisters Yukino and Haruno finally came downstairs.

Back beside Luo Bai, Yukino couldn't help but glare at him.

"??"

Luo Bai was full of questions. He didn't seem to have done anything to make Yukino angry, did he?

"What's wrong, Yukino?"

Yukino knew that what she was doing was a bit unreasonable, and it had nothing to do with Luo Bai, so she shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Hearing Yukino say that, Luo Bai took her hand and said, "Then let's get some rest early when we get back tonight."

"kindness."

Mrs. Yukinoshita ignored the young couple's whispered conversation and instead looked at her eldest daughter, saying with a hint of helplessness, "You really don't want to go on blind dates?"

It seems that Xiaobai did talk to her mother after all!

Yang Nai was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained expressionless, nodding directly and saying, "Yes, I'm still in university, and I don't feel like dating at all. Besides, the blind dates you arranged for me, Mother, were pretty bad. I wasn't even interested in talking to them. And anyway, once Shiro and Yukino get married, their children can inherit the Yukino family. I'll just help out. Mother, please stop arranging those messy blind dates for me."

Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Yukinoshita felt helpless, but she knew that the other woman was right.

The Yukino family has developed very well in recent years through cooperation with the Raku family, so there is really no need for Yono to do anything about finding a son-in-law.

Yukino and Rakubai were in love with each other. Rather than calling it a marriage alliance, it was more accurate to say that the parents were happy to see it happen, as it would benefit both the two children and both families.

With a slight sigh, Mrs. Yukinoshita said, "Alright, then I won't arrange any more blind dates for you. But similarly, don't just find a boyfriend casually; at least let us know so we can understand the situation."

"no problem!"

Yang exclaimed excitedly, "I already said, I don't want to be in a relationship!"

Seeing how happy Yukino was, Yukino subtly pursed her lips.

It's not that she doesn't want to be in a relationship; she's just eyeing other people's boyfriends.

By then, dinner was ready, so everyone stopped talking and went to the restaurant to eat.

After dinner, Luo Bai and Xue Nai went back home. After all, it wasn't the weekend, and they had to go to school tomorrow, so it wasn't appropriate for them to stay there.

However, Yang Nai came out with them and drove them back to the apartment.

Upon arrival, Haruno wanted to see Mai Sakurajima, so she went upstairs with Luo Bai and Yukino.

Knowing that Yukino and Rakuhaku were going back to Yukinoshita's house for dinner today, Mai Sakurajima made herself something simple to eat after returning home, and then studied in her apartment.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Mai Sakurajima curiously went to the entrance and saw Yukino and Rakuhaku outside the door through the peephole, as well as a girl who looked somewhat like Yukino.

This must be Yukino's older sister, Haruno, right?

As she was thinking, Mai Sakurajima opened the apartment door.

"Luo Bai-kun, Yukino, you're back! This must be your older sister, Yukino, right? Hello, I'm Sakurajima Mai."

Haruno happily greeted Mai Sakurajima: "Hello, I'm Haruno, Yukino's older sister. Nice to meet you!"

Yukino nodded and said, "Senior, come over and have some tea and chat. My sister came last Saturday and wanted to meet you, but you weren't here."

"Oh, which day? I went to the company."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and agreed, then followed them to the next room.

Upon entering the house, Yukino went to boil water to make tea, while the other three sat down in the living room.

Haruno looked at Mai Sakurajima and said, "I'm two years older than you, so I'll call you Mai, okay?"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll call you Haruno-senpai."

"Mmm." Haruno looked at Mai Sakurajima curiously and praised, "This is the first time I've been so close to an actress. Mai is really beautiful!"

"You flatter me, senior," Sakurajima Mai said with a light laugh. "You're very pretty too."

Yang Nai chuckled and stroked her chin, saying, "Hehe, I'm not making this up. Although I've never sat this close to other celebrities or actors, I've seen some actors filming outside. I've seen some from a distance, and they all have very heavy makeup. I reckon their looks would drop several notches after they take it off. And Mai, you're not wearing any makeup right now, are you?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded: "Yes, I didn't wear makeup. I washed off the little bit of light makeup I had during the day when I got home. I don't like wearing makeup at home."

"I told you, among young actors, there are very few who can compare to you in terms of looks," Yang Nai said with absolute certainty. "If you went on one of those shows where female celebrities remove their makeup on the spot, it would definitely open everyone's eyes!"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and shook her head: "No way, I feel like participating in those kinds of programs would easily offend people."

Luo Bai chimed in, "That's right. Generally speaking, those kinds of shows don't invite people who are too outstanding. Usually, the participants are all about the same level. And someone like you, who's perfect even without makeup, would just be annoying the other people if you went on the show. The audience might find it funny, but it might not be so for the other participants."

Yang Nai chuckled and stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, I was just kidding, of course I can't actually participate. But I am really interested in acting. If there's a chance in the future, Mai, could you let me go to the film set? Preferably a movie."

"sure."

Mai Sakurajima readily agreed, "I might not have time recently, but I should be filming a movie during the summer vacation, and I'll invite everyone to come and visit then."

Luo Bai chimed in, "We're planning to check out our senior's fashion magazine photoshoot this weekend. Yang Nai, do you have time? Would you like to come along?"

Yang Nai's eyes lit up: "Oh? The weekend? Where?"

"On Sunday, in Tokyo."

"Sure, I'll go too! I have some things to take care of on my thesis, and I won't be going back to Chiba this weekend. Mai, can I come too?"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded: "Sure, I've already spoken to my manager. You can bring friends; one more person won't hurt."

Just then, Yukino brought over some freshly brewed tea and some fruit.

"Sister, you can go, but you mustn't cause trouble."

Yukino stuck out her tongue in dissatisfaction: "Yukino, what kind of person do you take me for? I'm not a child, I know what I can and can't do!"

Yukino didn't mind and sat down between Luo Bai and Yang Nai, pushing Yang Nai to the side.

"That's not necessarily true. At times, you really are no different from a child."

Volume 1: Chapter 99 Mai Sakurajima Learns Something New (2/2)

樱岛

Mai looked at the sisters, Haruno and Yukino, with curiosity. Their relationship seemed to be quite different from what she had initially thought.

It's not that it's bad, since we all came back together.

But to be fair, Yukino seems quite wary of some of Haruno's actions.

Mai Sakurajima is an only child, so she doesn't quite understand the relationship between the two sisters.

Looking at Luo Bai, the other party could only shrug helplessly, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Hmm~~~

Mai Sakurajima nodded slightly, seemingly understanding something.

However, these problems are not significant. Since Yukino and Luo Bai are willing to let me come here to meet Yang Nai, at least they won't harm me.

Mai Sakurajima doesn't mind knowing a few people.

After sitting there for half an hour, Yang Nai said goodbye and left. She had to drive to Tokyo and had class the next morning.

After Yukino left, Mai Sakurajima asked curiously, "Yukino, I feel like your relationship with your sister is a bit special."

Yukino didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "My sister seems like a sunny and fashionable person, but she's actually a very cunning one. She always has a smile on her face, but nobody knows what she's plotting or scheming."

Luo Bai picked up a piece of apple, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and said, "That's true, but that's when she's dealing with people she doesn't know well. After all, from the beginning, Yang Nai-nee was raised as the heir of the Yukinoshita family, so she's become a bit too mature and good at pretending. But now, she's not like that when she's dealing with her own family and friends she trusts. She's much better than before. So, senior, you don't need to worry. Yang Nai-nee won't scheme against you or anything."

Mai Sakurajima suddenly realized why Yukino and the other person seemed to be at odds when they were talking.

Then she laughed and said, "I'm not too worried, and I'm just a small-time actress, there's nothing for her to scheme against me."

As an actress, I may have some popularity, but compared to a large family like the Yukinoshita family, my status is nothing.

You could say they saw things very clearly.

Sakurajima Mai scratched the chin of the kitten beside her and said, "But you know, it's not easy for you kids from big families. You have to learn all sorts of things from a young age, so I imagine the pressure must be immense."

“There will be a little bit,” Luo Bai said, stretching. “After all, having something that others don’t have since childhood, it’s natural to bear the corresponding responsibility. Otherwise, if I don’t have the ability to inherit the family business when I’m in my twenties, I’ll have failed my parents’ expectations.”

Then, Luo Bai grabbed Yukino's hand and squeezed it.

"In families like Yukino's, where there are two daughters, one of them needs to take on this responsibility and inherit the family business in the future. When Yukino was young, her older sister Haruno took the initiative to take on this responsibility and accepted the family's training, so Yukino's life was relatively easier, but she still had a lot to learn."

Yukino nodded: "I didn't quite understand before, but now that I'm older, I'm gradually coming to understand these things."

"Large families, huh? They must be so complicated and demanding." Mai Sakurajima took a sip of her tea and asked curiously, "In families like yours, do you ever have arranged marriages like those in movies? Like the two of you?"

Luo Bai and Yukino exchanged a glance, then Luo Bai asked with a smile, "Yukino, what do you think? Do you think we're in a marriage alliance?"

Yukino frowned slightly and thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "I guess so. Although the engagement was a bit unexpected, I think my parents wouldn't have forced me if I had refused. Besides, it's you, so I don't have any reason to refuse."

Luo Bai smiled and looked at Sakurajima Mai: "That's how it is. My family and Yukino's family have known each other since childhood, and we've always had frequent business collaborations. In fact, whether or not we form a marriage alliance won't affect the relationship between our two families at all. Even if we didn't form a marriage alliance, I would still have come to see Yukino anyway, and the outcome wouldn't have changed."

"So there really are arranged marriages!"

Sakurajima Mai looked at the two of them in shock. "Wait, in that case, does Haruno-senpai need to get married?"

Shaking her head, Yukino said, "As for my sister, she doesn't need to. She has made it clear to Mother that she doesn't want to date or get married for the time being, so Mother won't arrange blind dates for her. But if my sister hadn't said that, Mother would probably have kept finding her blind dates and looking for suitable men to marry into her family."

"Sigh! I'm going to marry into his family!"

Although it was unexpected, upon closer reflection, it was indeed the only way. After all, once a daughter marries out, she becomes someone else's wife, and for a large family like the Yukinoshita family, choosing a son-in-law is definitely the best option.

"Yeah, I've learned a lot today."

Seeing that it was almost time, Mai Sakurajima said goodbye and went back home, as she still needed to continue studying for a while.

After seeing Mai Sakurajima off, Luo Bai looked at Yukino, who was already yawning, patted her head and said, "Go take a shower. I'll tidy up the living room. Let's go to bed early tonight."

Yukino nodded, got up and went back to her room, leaving the tidying up to Luo Bai.

Luo Bai didn't hesitate either, immediately using his superpowers to move the teacups and fruit plates to the kitchen, quickly finishing the cleanup.

.........

After the workplace visit ended, Luo Bai and Xue Nai's campus life returned to normal.

After class in the afternoon, because Yuihama had to do chores, Rakuhaku and Hachiman Hikigaya left the classroom first.

On the way to the Service Club, Luo Bai said, "Yuihama is on duty today, aren't you going to help?"
