Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Shinonome's mother..." Yukino Yukinoshita recalled their brief encounter, "She seemed like a sensitive yet carefree person, very gentle and interesting..."

Yui Yuigahama and Komachi Hikigaya both looked at Dong Yunshan, and seemed to be able to vaguely guess what Shinonome's mother looked like.

"A doctor, of course, needs to be meticulous and gentle, but being easygoing and funny is also essential." Dong Yunshan smiled. "Being easygoing and humorous is also necessary, after all, you need to relieve stress while using a chisel and hammer to remove bone."

"A chisel and a hammer?" Yui Yuigahama incredulously. "Shouldn't we use a small scalpel?"

"We use them occasionally, but most of the time we use electric drills, saws, hammers, chisels, steel plates, screws, pliers..." Dong Yunshan listed them off as if they were old friends. "Major surgeries are about as noisy as home renovations."

Komachi Hikigaya vaguely guessed something. "How do you know so much?"

"I don't know if you can see it now, but my skin has healed very well." Dong Yunshan lifted his T-shirt, revealing well-defined muscles, and pointed to the side of his pectoral muscles. "Can you see the mark here? Just a small one."

"Really... I see it! It's light red." Upon seeing Dong Yunshan's muscles, Yui Yuigahama blushed, trying to calm herself down as she examined the area. "Is this from surgery?"

Dong Yunshan said somewhat helplessly, "My mom even praised my ribcage for its particularly good curvature."

Komachi Hikigaya leaned closer curiously. "Are there steel plates inside now?"

Dong Yunshan shook her head. "It was taken out a long time ago."

Yukino Yukinoshita felt that Dong Yunshan was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and pulled his clothes off. "You scared the cat."

Several cats stared wide-eyed at the Dong Yunshan.

The Dong Yunshan caught one of the slower ones and gave it a good squirting.

Yui Yuigahama hadn't felt anything before, but after learning that Dong Yunshan had undergone surgery, and recalling his lively and energetic appearance, she felt a chill Yui Yuigahama.

"Oh, right," Dong Yunshan recalled the initial topic, "Komachi, you still haven't said where you're going for your internship."

"I also want to go somewhere closer to home," Komachi Hikigaya said hesitantly, "But actually, what I'm worried about right now isn't my internship, but my younger brother's."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan asked, puzzled. "Isn't your younger brother still in middle school?"

"Well... I brought the internship survey home to fill out, and then my younger brother saw it." Komachi Hikigaya's expression was complicated. "So I casually asked him where he wanted to do his internship and what he wanted to do in the future."

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "And the answer?"

Komachi Hikigaya: "Househusband."

Volume 6: Chapter 199 Not to be underestimated

"So..." Dong Yunshan grasped the crux of the problem, "Did he decide to become a stay-at-home dad because he wanted to do workplace training at home, or did he want to be a stay-at-home dad, so he planned to do workplace training at home?"

"It's probably both..." Komachi Hikigaya recalled her brother's answer. "He wants to marry a beautiful and capable girl and then be supported by her. Not a gigolo, though. He said he'd do housework well and become a super gigolo, even better than a gigolo!"

"Then it's not about being a kept man, it's just a different division of labor in the family." Dong Yunshan is very familiar with this situation. "That's how it is in my family."

Yui Yuigahama blinked. "Then what does 'living off a woman' mean?"

"According to the definition in the Daijirin, Third Edition," Yukino Yukinoshita said, stroking the cat, "It's a colloquial term for a lover who instigates a woman to work and demands tributes from her."

Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized. "So the key is whether or not to get married?"

"The key issue should be whether or not family matters are handled," Dong Yunshan corrected. "It's different when one party doesn't work at all compared to when both partners have different roles."

"So, I've been thinking about this lately..." Komachi Hikigaya stared at Dong Yunshan's bright eyes, "Brother Shan ~"

Dong Yunshan understood. "Need help?"

"You understand this situation better," Komachi Hikigaya, her eyes filled with hope. "Could you help my brother?"

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Helping you means..."

"Stay-at-home dads also need corresponding professional skills," Komachi Hikigaya explained her thoughts. "Is there any way to help him become a good stay-at-home dad? A long-term plan, or a direction for him to strive for?"

Yui Yuigahama paused for a moment. "I thought you wanted Higashi... to have Yunshan help your brother muster up the courage to find another job."

"Although people in society might not understand, life is a choice one makes. It's a good thing that he knows what he wants to do, and as his older sister, of course I have to support him." Komachi Hikigaya snorted lightly. "However, it would be naive to underestimate a stay-at-home husband and think that he can marry a beautiful and capable girl without doing anything—so I want to help him, because I'm his older sister!"

Dong Yunshan chuckled, "These words earned Komachi a high score."

Yukino Yukinoshita.

Because she's the older sister...

"Since you call me Brother Shan, I'll definitely help you with this." Dong Yunshan paused, "However, my family situation probably isn't very relevant."

Komachi Hikigaya: "Huh? Why?"

"My parents were childhood sweethearts, they've been together since they were little." Dong Yunshan asked a somewhat cruel question, "Your younger brother..."

"I don't have any particularly close female friends yet, and I haven't been in touch with that female class monitor since school started," Komachi Hikigaya my male classmates... I don't seem to have any particularly close relationships with either."

Yui Yuigahama looked at Dong Yunshan: "Do you have any successful stay-at-home husbands among your friends?"

"As for stay-at-home dads..." Dong Yunshan recalled, "No."

Komachi Hikigaya was somewhat worried about her younger brother's job prospects. "It's not that simple after all."

A less crowded track isn't necessarily a blue ocean; it's more likely to be a dead sea.

Dong Yunshan added, "There are indeed stay-at-home boyfriends who don't work and rely on their girlfriends for support."

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama curiously, "What does 'full-time boyfriend' mean...?"

"As long as you pay, I'll take care of all my boyfriend's work, including but not limited to emotional support, housework, and meeting his needs."

Komachi Hikigaya frowned slightly. "It sounds like you're having a tough time."

Dong Yunshan: "Working three hours a day, two days a week, five days off, eight days a month, earning one million yen a month."

Komachi Hikigaya: "???"

"I serve 15 wealthy women year-round, categorizing them into six levels: S, A+, A-, B+, B-, and on the waiting list. The higher-level women have longer waiting times, while the on-the-wait women have shorter ones. And once the money stops, a new wealthy woman is brought in," Dong Yunshan briefly explained. "As for the judging criteria... it's all about looks."

"Wow..." Yui Yuigahama in amazement.

"I remember..." Yukino Yukinoshita scratched the black cat's neck, "Someone once said they liked rich women."

Dong Yunshan: "You want to introduce one to me?"

Yukino Yukinoshita.

"That sounds impressive, but you don't need to be that good. Just a little bit of learning should be enough to be a good stay-at-home dad." Komachi Hikigaya was very practical. "Can you get in touch with him?"

"It's possible, but it's not appropriate to disturb them right now."

Komachi Hikigaya: "Huh?"

"To better support himself, he's currently training at a host club, learning as a regular host. He told me some time ago that top-tier hosts can accurately meet expectations, while super-top-tier hosts can exceed those expectations," Dong Yunshan showed an email on his phone. "Recently, he's been providing after-sales service to the wealthy women he's previously served, working hard to improve his skills, and he'll basically have no free time in the short term."

Yui Yuigahama's expression was complicated. "Wow... so dedicated."

"A host... he must be very good-looking." Komachi Hikigaya looked troubled. "Although I think my brother is good-looking, he's not good enough to work at a host club."

"You can get plastic surgery. I know someone who spent 100 million yen on it." Dong Yunshan flipped through her emails. "A meal costs around 100,000 to 120,000 yen, and her allowance is 4.5 million yen a month."

"Plastic surgery... never mind." Komachi Hikigaya shook her head. "My brother won't get plastic surgery."

"Well..." Dong Yunshan rummaged through her email while recalling the novel group 81, "There are a few more... Tell me first, what is your brother good at?"

Komachi Hikigaya quickly gave her answer, "She's good at many things that can be done by one person!"

"Uh... what about grades?"

"Her humanities grades were exceptionally good, but her science grades were..." Komachi Hikigaya looked somewhat embarrassed.

"If you're exceptionally good at humanities... well..." Dong Yunshan showed the email, "After graduating from high school, I was admitted to the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences at Waseda University with excellent grades. During my university years, I vowed never to work and to be supported by women for the rest of my life."

"Waseda? That's a top-tier university..." Komachi Hikigaya murmured, "Is it as expensive as other universities?"

"He's a bit different. He lives with his girlfriend, but he doesn't contribute financially; in fact, he never asks for money." Dong Yunshan waved her phone. "If things seem right, I'll contact him."

Volume 6: Chapter 200 Murphy's Law

"No, after school started, the two of them didn't become closer; in fact, they've become a bit more distant." Haruno Yukinoshita put down her coffee cup and looked out the window. "Recently, Shinonome has been going out to eat with friends a lot, and he's even participating in fewer club activities."

"Oh? Then we need to be even more vigilant," Yukinoshita's mother's voice came through the phone.

Haruno Yukinoshita sighed, "That was clearly a staff member's mistake."

"If it wasn't a staff member's mistake, then my guess is correct. If it was a staff member's mistake, then his intentions are deeper than I suspect."

Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."

The witches who can't be burned are the ones who are afraid of fire.

Isn't it because preconceived notions are deeply ingrained, and there's an unwillingness to admit one's mistakes?

Haruno Yukinoshita pointed out the key point. "But... they're definitely not as close as they used to be."

"Playing hard to get," Yukinoshita's mother said calmly. "Do I really need to explain this kind of petty trick to you in detail?"

No need for that.

If Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita truly have feelings for each other, then after meeting each other's parents, they will naturally feel closer to each other and desire more intimate contact.

For example, before, you needed to find some reason to lie in the same bed, but after meeting the parents, you will take the initiative to ask to sleep together without any reason.

During this period, if one chooses to actively distance oneself, it will cause the other party to feel insecure and experience emotional fluctuations.

Then, suddenly closing the distance might lead to even better progress.

The problem is...

Haruno Yukinoshita thought of another possibility, "What if they become even closer than before?"

"Strike while the iron is hot."

"... What if it's the same as before?"

"Using the same old trick again."

"In short, everything Shinonome does is for ulterior motives."

"What he's plotting isn't important," Yukinoshita's mother whispered. "Whatever he's plotting, we should be prepared; that's the most important thing."

Preventing problems before they arise is the best policy.

Haruno Yukinoshita, said, "Honestly, I feel like Shinonome doesn't have those kinds of thoughts."

"If he could achieve this level of skill without having those kinds of thoughts, then we should be even more wary of him having them." Yukinoshita's mother's voice became noticeably stern. "Murphy's Law."

If something can go wrong, no matter how small the chance, it will happen.

If something can be done the wrong way, then someone will definitely do it.

Therefore, we should not be blindly optimistic and should take precautions against potential problems.

Haruno Yukinoshita was able to understand her mother's thoughts.

In many things, including when she first learned about Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan's situation, she shared the same thoughts as her mother.

Regardless of what happened between the two of them, something had to be done.

Then Haruno Yukinoshita decides to take her younger sister home, separating Yukino Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan.

As a result, the two who were originally going to separate... ended up living together.

The observer effect.

This refers to the interference or influence that the act of observation itself has on the observed object or result.

In the field of experimental psychology, there is also the Hawthorne Effect.

When people realize they are being observed or studied, they will proactively change their behavior or performance.

Could a mother's excessive attention and observation accelerate the development of a relationship between two people?

Given past experiences, it seems highly likely that Haruno Yukinoshita.

If the mother wants to do something else, Dong Yunshan may not have had any particular ideas before, but she will gradually develop some special ideas later.

Haruno Yukinoshita just wanted to take Yukino Yukinoshita home, Yukino Yukinoshita took Dong Yunshan home.

If Mother were to take any action... Haruno Yukinoshita couldn't even imagine how fast Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita's progress bar would go.

Therefore, the safest approach is for her to act as an extension of her mother's siblings, taking action within a controllable scope.

Haruno Yukinoshita picked up her coffee cup. "I'll arrange it."

"Fumi, since he started living off women, he has saved over ten million yen in rent alone. Besides that, everything from clothes and necessities to his computer and game console has been paid for by women." In the activity room, Dong Yunshan spread out the information he had gathered. "He has never worked a single day; he's a [gold digger] who has only been able to survive by relying on women."

Dong Yunshan played the recording. "These are his exact words."
