Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 103

He has a more important legacy to inherit.

That was something that had been ignored time and time again through countless days and nights...

His own thoughts.

That was proof of his existence.

--

Yukino Yukinoshita had expected her older sister to ask some questions.

However, on the way back to the hotel, Haruno Yukinoshita unusually quiet.

It was probably when Dong Yunshan Yukino Yukinoshita that her mother said something to her.

Should we wait until we get back to the hotel to discuss this?

Yukino Yukinoshita silently clutched the hem of her skirt.

That guy Dong Yunshan actually wanted to touch... touch it back.

How could he... He shouldn't... He...

It seems I really should... touch it back.

Thinking back, during the meal, Yukino Yukinoshita was pinching and patting him.

Even if Yukino Yukinoshita didn't touch her twice... three times... five times... in the end, she lost count.

Yukino Yukinoshita groped him, so does Dong Yunshan have the right to treat her like that...

wrong.

Yukino Yukinoshita discovered the crucial problem.

She touched Dong Yunshan in order to communicate with him.

But Dong Yunshan wanted to touch it just for the sake of touching it.

His motives were too pure.

Yukino Yukinoshita discovered the key to the problem.

Of course, I can touch the Dong Yunshan, but it has to be the kind of touching with impure motives... that seems a bit strange.

Back at the hotel, Yukino Yukinoshita finally came up with a solution to the problem.

When Dong Yunjin hosts a dinner party, Dong Yunshan can simply touch it back during the meal.

Okay, that solves the problem.

At the hotel, Yukino Yukinoshita did not receive the questioning she had expected.

Haruno Yukinoshita went to talk to her mother.

Yukino Yukinoshita, was already used to this situation.

Although it was a trip, the mother took the family's needs into account to a great extent when planning the itinerary.

Meetings with important figures, talks with professionals in related industries, building visits, cooperation negotiations, etc.

As the designated heir, Haruno Yukinoshita naturally had to go with her mother.

As for Yukino Yukinoshita... she is not yet qualified to be involved in the family business.

Unable to attend important meetings with them, I naturally couldn't discuss related matters with them after returning to the hotel.

At times like these, Yukino Yukinoshita could only read her book alone in silence.

What important matter are they discussing today?

"They're dating." Yukinoshita's mother unfolded her folding fan. "They've been dating for a long time."

"Huh? Really?" Haruno Yukinoshita covered her mouth in surprise. "I couldn't tell at all~"

"And they've already crossed the line." Yukinoshita's mother narrowed her eyes slightly. "So quickly..."

"Wow!" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes widened. "No way~"

The mother silently watched her daughter Yukinoshita.

"If we told them about this," Haruno Yukinoshita's exaggerated expression vanished, "They would probably have this kind of expression."

Vibrant emotions gradually faded from Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes, like snow melting under the blazing sun, leaving only faint, almost imperceptible traces.

The mother smiled Yukinoshita, but her eyes were chillingly cold. "I remember I asked you to keep an eye on her. The older sister should take better care of her younger sister."

"I've been paying attention, and I'm quite concerned," Haruno Yukinoshita met her mother's gaze without flinching. "I've also taken appropriate measures."

"A suitable method?" Yukinoshita's mother covered her mouth with her folding fan. "It seems the method isn't working very well."

"Yes," Haruno Yukinoshita laughed. "Isn't Mom's method the same?"

"... Did you send him?" Yukinoshita's mother immediately realized that the method she used to bring Yukino Yukinoshita on this trip was the same as the method Haruno Yukinoshita had used before.

Haruno Yukinoshita failed.

Therefore, when Yukinoshita's mother used the same method, Haruno Yukinoshita was already expecting her mother to fail.

Or rather...

"Did you send him here?"

"You can do it that way too?" Haruno Yukinoshita's smile widened. "Let's do it this way next time."

It seems that Haruno Yukinoshita didn't do this on purpose to see her fail... Yukinoshita's mother knew her daughter's ways well.

If today's gathering of novelists was arranged by Haruno Yukinoshita, then she would definitely tell her happily and earnestly ask her mother how she felt.

"They are indeed in love," Yukinoshita's mother said, opening the gift box from Dong Yunshan and taking out the cheese inside, "But they haven't officially become a couple yet... huh?"

Hearing her mother's questioning voice, Haruno Yukinoshita stepped forward.

Then I saw...

The name engraved on the bottom of the cheese:

[Shinonome Yukino]

Volume 5, May Holiday: Chapter 194 Determination and Ambition

[Yukinoshita Sugi]

Looking at the words carved on the cheese, Yukino Yukinoshita's thoughts paused for a moment.

Did she carve this...?

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully recalled the situation at that time.

In cheese-making workshops, the specific process of creating commemorative cheeses using engraving molds needs to be completed during the shaping and pressing stages.

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita each searched for their own names and handed the corresponding engraving molds to the instructor.

Because a press is required, it needs to be operated by professional staff. The pressing process takes twenty minutes, and if the engraving is blurry, it needs to be pressed a second time.

After pressing, the cheese needs to be soaked in brine for ten minutes. Cheese with engravings needs to be soaked for an additional five minutes to ensure that the salt penetrates the edges of the characters and slows down spoilage.

The whole process takes at least thirty minutes and requires professional operation, so Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita went to have lunch during this time.

After finishing lunch, I continued taking photos, then ran into my mother and sister, and chatted for a bit.

When I went back to pick up the cheese, it had already been packaged into a gift box.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, Mr. Shinonome, this is cheese you made yourself."

Yukino Yukinoshita was always with Dong Yunshan, so it can be confirmed that Dong Yunshan did not ask the staff to change his surname to Yukinoshita.

The problem must lie with the people who did the engraving.

It seems that after Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan handed over the engraving molds together, the staff accidentally mixed them up.

Work error.

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly figured out what had happened and then immediately realized something serious.

Since the inscription on the cheese she received reads "[Yukinoshita Sugi]", then the inscription on the cheese her mother received must be...

[Shinonome Yukino]

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache.

Knowing her mother as she does, she would definitely interpret this as Dong Yunshan's statement.

Even... a declaration of war.

[Although she is still your daughter now, she will soon become my wife.]

Yukinoshita's mother would surely understand it that way.

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed.

Before your mother misunderstands, be sure to tell her that this is not a provocation or a declaration of war, but simply...

"It was a staff mistake." Haruno Yukinoshita clapped her hands. "They probably made a mistake when they were engraving the characters."

"If it were Yukino, she would probably explain it like this." Yukinoshita's mother narrowed her eyes, a hint of pleasure appearing in them. "To provoke me with such methods, she really has guts..."

"Oh? So it was a provocation?" Haruno Yukinoshita blinked her big eyes. "I couldn't tell at all."

Yukinoshita her folding fan. "I brought Yukino out on a trip, but I had only let Yukino have some free time for a little while when he appeared."

"Isn't that just a coincidence?"

"[No matter where you take her, I will find her.]" Yukinoshita's mother sneered. "That's what he meant."

"Hmm..." Haruno Yukinoshita thought of Dong Yunshan's father and felt that it was indeed possible.

Yukinoshita's mother's thoughts became clearer. "Then there was the dinner party. He could have easily found an excuse to refuse, but he agreed, which means he's not afraid of me."

Haruno Yukinoshita: "..." That seems to make sense.

Yukinoshita's mother recalled more details, "During meals, he clearly knew table manners, but he touched the inside of the knife first."

"Didn't you just forget for a moment?"

"He's indicating that his hand has already reached inside."

Haruno Yukinoshita: "Inside?" What inside? Which inside? Who's inside?

"In our home."

Haruno Yukinoshita felt her mother was overthinking things. "There wouldn't be such a subtle hint..."

"It wasn't subtle, because Yukino would remind him when he reached for the knife on the inside." Yukinoshita's mother recalled her daughter's subtle actions, "And combined with Yukino's reaction, it became quite obvious."

Test me however you want, because I've already got my hands on your property, your daughter is in my hands, and she's on my side.

"Wait a minute... didn't Shinonome say he's not interested in dating right now?"

"What he means is that he doesn't have a girlfriend right now, but he's not against dating. He'll date if he meets the right person." Yukinoshita's mother tapped her palm with her folding fan. "The most obvious sign is his appetite."

"He's just a big eater..."

"Even if he has a big appetite, would he eat that much in this kind of situation?" Yukinoshita's mother glanced at her daughter. "He's making it clear that he has a big appetite...and ambitions, without any intention of hiding them."

"That's not right." Haruno Yukinoshita tilted her head. "Ambition should be hidden properly, why deliberately reveal it?"

"The answer is here," Yukinoshita's mother said, pointing to the cheese.

[Shinonome Yukino]

In fact, Haruno Yukinoshita felt that what her mother said was all far-fetched.

Of course, you can understand it that way, but you can also understand it differently.

For example, the meeting was purely coincidental, he agreed to the dinner because he genuinely had the time, and he ate a lot because he has a large appetite...

But when the mother pointed to the cheese under the Yukinoshita, everything made sense.

Dong Yunshan likes Yukino Yukinoshita, but he will not marry into the Yukinoshita Family; instead, he will marry Yukino Yukinoshita.

Meeting someone demonstrates tracking ability and shows determination.

Agreeing to the dinner party demonstrates fearlessness and confidence.

Eating a lot is a metaphor for appetite and reveals ambition.

Having determination and confidence is enough; why reveal ambition?
