My fiancée Yukino

When Totsuka Ayaka introduced herself, Utaha looked at her with great interest, thinking that she was just as deceptive as she appeared in the photo.

However, you can tell from the Adam's apple that he is indeed a boy, but it's still not that easy to identify.

Luo Bai looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked, "Hiratsuka-sensei, is it just the group of us?"

"Not just that, because there are quite a lot of students this time, I called a few more people over." Pointing to the car approaching in the distance, Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "Look, we've arrived."

A white van pulled up and stopped in front of them. Hayato Hayama and his group got out.

"Yuuko, Hina, why are you here too? You didn't even tell me!" Upon seeing her friends, Yui immediately ran over.

Yumiko Miura fanned herself with her hand, looking annoyed, and said, "I didn't want to come either, but Hayato agreed."

Hayato Hayama chimed in, "I'm sorry, but since Hiratsuka-sensei asked me to do it, and summer vacation has just started and I don't have much to do, I agreed."

As he spoke, he came over to Luo Bai and greeted him.

"Luo Bai, let's all work together for the next few days."

Luo Bai nodded, yawned, and said, "Well, it's nothing complicated anyway, just a bunch of elementary school students."

On Miura Yumiko's side, the others also looked curiously at Utaha, whom they had never seen before, while Yuihama explained things to them.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hiratsuka Shizuka clapped her hands and said, "Alright, let's go to the resort to prepare. In about half an hour, the elementary school students who are coming to summer camp will arrive."

After arriving at the resort and meeting with the manager and teachers, everyone went to their rooms to put down their luggage.

Although the accommodation consisted of one large room, with one room for the boys and two rooms for the girls, the environment was quite nice.

After coming out and having a quick drink of water, several large buses arrived, and then everyone, led by Hiratsuka Shizuka, went to the playground where the students were gathered.

Although the weather was quite hot, the elementary school students who came to participate in the summer camp were very excited. After getting ready, they discussed the upcoming activities one by one.

After the instructor explained the upcoming activities and introduced the high school students who came to help, today's orienteering activity began.

Luo Bai and his team's job was simple: to follow the elementary school students who were active in the mountains and prevent them from having any accidents.

After spraying mosquito repellent on Yukino and the others, Luo Bai looked at Hachiman and the others and asked, "Did you bring any mosquito repellent?"

"Bring it."

Hachiman nodded, took out a bottle of mosquito repellent from his small bag, and sprayed it on himself and his sister.

He couldn't help but add, "Mosquitoes in the mountains are a minor issue; there shouldn't be any wild animals, right?"

After handing the water the staff brought to Yukino and the others, Luo Bai said, "There shouldn't be any large wild animals, since this place has been operating for quite a while and the surrounding area is regularly inspected. However, there should still be some small wild animals, but the most important things to watch out for are mosquitoes and snakes. Even non-venomous snakes can still hurt a lot if you get bitten."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Hachiman couldn't help but swallow hard.

Looking at his pants, Hachiman said thankfully, "I even chose thicker pants, so it should be fine, right?"

"As long as you don't forget to go into the bushes, you'll generally be fine."

Patting Hachiman on the shoulder, Luo Bai gestured towards Hayato Hayama not far away and whispered, "There are some girls wearing skirts over there; we need to be careful of them."

Hachiman nodded in agreement.

Hina Ebina was alright, as she was wearing a long skirt and stockings, which gave her some protection.

Yumiko Miura really looked like she was on vacation, wearing off-the-shoulder tops and short skirts.

But this place isn't suitable for a vacation like this; isn't that just asking for trouble?

Especially knowing they were coming here, they still dressed like this, which is really hard to understand.

When it was time to leave, Luo Bai and Hachiman stopped chatting and followed the elementary school students heading into the mountains.

Because Miura Yumiko had been following Hayama Hayato, Yuihama didn't go over to be a third wheel, but instead accompanied Hikigaya and Totsuka.

On Luo Bai's side, Yukino was on his left and Utaha on his right, while Mai was being pulled by Komachi, who was curiously asking about the filming.

Because it was carefully arranged by the resort, there were various orienteering games and props set up all over the mountain road.

Looking at the groups of three or five elementary school students, chatting and laughing, Luo Bai chuckled and said, "They really are carefree."

Yukino nodded in agreement: "Children are just letting their nature run wild. As long as they don't cause trouble and aren't naughty kids, it's fine."

Shi Yu agreed, saying, "That's right, as long as they're not naughty kids. My relatives have a few really mischievous children; I don't even want to see them. Luo Jun, were you mischievous when you were little?"

"Me?" Luo Bai thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I just think those little brats are childish. I'd rather read a book or play games than play in the mud."

"

"Oh, is that so?"

Yukino also said, "He's been like this since he was little. He doesn't like playing with people his own age, he thinks it's boring, and he likes to lie. He's been telling me to marry him since he was little."

As she said this, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Yukino's eyes.

Although there are only winter and summer vacations each year, and Luo Bai will most likely only stay for a few days during the winter vacation, those are still the happiest times that Yukino remembers.

After hearing this, Shi Yu laughed and bumped Luo Bai's shoulder, saying, "It seems that you've always had good taste, Luo Jun!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. This girl was very timid when she was little, and she was easily bullied without daring to fight back. I definitely have to help her, right?"

At that moment, Mai and Komachi also came over and heard what Luo Bai said.

Komachi exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Was Yukino-neechan bullied when she was little?"

Despite her desperate attempts to cover Luo Bai's mouth, Yukino was still caught in a tight hug by him.

"Don't let her tough temper fool you, she was a silly little girl when she was little, easy to bully and easy to coax. At first she was miserable, but a lollipop would make her happy immediately, and she would follow me around with a silly smile."

"Stop talking!"

Yukino really wanted to die from the feeling of having her dark past exposed.

Mai was hearing this for the first time, and her eyes lit up as she asked, "Yukino was so cute when she was little? Looks like you've been fooling her since she was a child, Raku-kun!"

Luo Bai neither admitted nor denied it, just smiled, while Yukino was completely helpless.

Meanwhile, Hachiman was having a tough time.

On one side is Yuihama, and on the other side is Totsuka Saika.

If either of them were placed next to him, Hachiman would probably be in a good mood, but now that both of them are here, it's making him a little uneasy.

The two of them, however, were completely oblivious to their surroundings and continued chatting animatedly, occasionally rubbing against Hachiman, who was walking in the middle, making Hachiman even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the commotion of a few elementary school students ahead drew everyone's attention away from the situation.

In my line of sight, five elementary school girls stood still and kept backing away, clearly very frightened.

Luo Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a snake, but it's not a big problem; it's non-venomous."

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, Hayato Hayama, who was about to run over, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to check on the elementary school students.

"Yes, it really is. Don't be afraid, it's just a common Japanese rat snake, it's not poisonous."

Then he picked up a branch from the ground and used it to pull the little snake that had slithered out of the bushes back into the bushes.

Several elementary school girls immediately smiled and happily surrounded Hayama Hayato.

"Big brother is so awesome!"

Hachiman approached Raibai and asked curiously, "Do you know a lot about snakes?"

"It's alright," Luo Bai nodded with a smile. "I ate a lot of it when I was little, it was quite delicious."

"...It tastes pretty good?"

Luo Bai's answer left everyone speechless. As expected of someone from the Great Celestial Empire, his knowledge of food was indeed extensive.

While snake dishes exist in Japan, they are a minority and few people eat them.

Luo Bai calmly replied, "That's because you haven't seen enough. If you have the chance to visit us sometime, I'll take you to try some things you've never experienced before."

Although there are more and more authentic Chinese restaurants in Japan now, it's still not enough for Luo Bai. Many of the things he likes to eat are not available here. He either has to make them himself or he can only eat them when he goes back to China.

For example, rabbit meat, and spicy rabbit heads.

There are crayfish, but not many.

Ah, speaking of which, it's the season for crayfish right now. I'll go back and buy some to eat after I'm done with my work these next few days.

Luo Bai started to miss the taste of crayfish.

The discussion about food didn't last long. Shi Yu tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve and asked, "Luo Jun, that little girl seems a bit withdrawn."

Following the direction Shiyu pointed, Luo Bai saw a little girl with long, straight black hair, wearing a light purple dress and holding a camera, standing alone next to the four little girls surrounding Hayama Hayato.

Yukino naturally saw it too, and sighed softly.

"Knew it."

Luo Bai wasn't surprised at all; he had seen it from the very beginning.

Hmm... that child really does resemble Yukino quite a bit; she seems like a miniature Yukino.

Volume 1: Chapter 232 Lunchtime (1/2)

After seeing this, Hachiman stroked his chin and said, "Bullying?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "They're just elementary school students, it's not that serious. It's probably just isolation and passive-aggressive behavior. I don't know the specifics, so let's not get involved for now. Kids these days are very smart, Hachiman, don't do anything unnecessary."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't treat me like an idiot, okay?"

Although he was speaking to Hikigaya, what Luo Bai meant was actually to tell the others around him.

Unfortunately, while Yukino and the others understood, some people still didn't.

After walking for a while, Hayama Hayato spotted the little girl who had fallen behind, and then glanced at the people scattered around, especially Luo Bai's group.

After making eye contact with Luo Bai, Hayama Hayato knew that Luo Bai had discovered the child, but he couldn't understand why the other party wasn't helping.

In Ye Shan's memory, Luo Bai didn't seem like such a cold person.

Without much thought, Hayama Hayato immediately went over, exchanged a few words with the little girl, and then brought her back to the other girls, trying to get them to play together.

Seeing this, Hachiman walked over to Luo Bai and said, "As expected, I knew that guy Hayama would do this. What was he thinking? Couldn't he see through it?"

"Even if he figured it out, he would still do it; that's just his personality."

Luo Bai shrugged and said, "It's a pity he's wrong. Children may be simple-minded, but they don't isolate others for no reason. There must be a reason. He wants to achieve his goal in one step without understanding the details. He's as simplistic as ever, in short, he's brainless."

At this moment, Miura Yumiko, who was behind the two, heard Luo Bai's evaluation and originally wanted to rush over to argue, but was held back by Ebina Hina who was standing next to her.

“Yumiko, Luo Bai-kun is right. Hayama really did think too simply about this matter.”

Yumiko Miura frowned: "But..."

Hina Ebina shook her head: "Let's take a look first, don't rush."

Frowning slightly, Miura Yumiko ultimately listened to Ebina Hina's advice and decided to talk to Hayama about it later.

And that was indeed the case. When Ye Shan first brought the little girl over, the four children did agree with him, chatting and laughing. But as soon as Ye Shan left, they went back to their previous behavior, without any change.

After seeing this, Shi Yu said to Luo Bai beside her, "Are you really not planning to do anything?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "I already said, it's not good to get involved rashly before understanding the real situation. Besides, their teachers aren't interfering, so why should we care so much? The Service Club may help others, but only if others want help, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu glanced at the little girl's back in the distance.

"But I always feel a little sorry for him."

"Hmm, who knows?"

Luo Bai took out a tissue and wiped the fine sweat from Shi Yu's face. Then he went to check on the little boys who were watching a rhinoceros beetle. He couldn't let them get too far off the group.

At noon, the orienteering activity ended, and everyone returned to the resort to prepare lunch.

Since it's a summer camp, the elementary school students are supposed to cook their own lunch. Today's lunch is a simple curry.

After demonstrating to the elementary school students how to light the charcoal fire on the stove, Hiratsuka Shizuka handed over the task of instructing the children to Luo Bai and the others.

"Those who can cook, go and teach them; those who can't, help keep an eye on them so they don't hurt themselves. Okay, everyone go and get busy."

Luo Bai then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked, "And what about you, Hiratsuka-sensei?"

With a smile on her face, Hiratsuka Shizuka gave Luo Bai a thumbs-up and said, "Me? Wait and eat!"

"...As expected of you."
