Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Dong Yunshan paused for a moment, then handed Yukino Yukinoshita's three shopping bags to her.

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then took the bag.

That concludes today's shopping.

so...

"You didn't buy anything for yourself?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the shopping bag in her hand. "Besides the gift for Yui Yuigahama, I bought two things for myself."

"That's true." Dong Yunshan nodded. "It's a rare opportunity to come here."

"You bought two with me, so I'll buy two with you." Yukino Yukinoshita took his arm. "Let's go."

"But it doesn't seem like there's anything I'm in a hurry to buy..." Dong Yunshan glanced around.

"Then let's choose some clothes," Yukino Yukinoshita suggested. "It's perfect that you're here."

"Alright." Dong Yunshan opened the guidebook, found the area where the men's clothing was located, took the bag from Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, and led her there.

Both stores sell clothing, but the men's clothing store has a noticeably simpler style, with very little difference between the various styles of clothes.

Dong Yunshan selected two pieces, stood in front of the full-length mirror to try them on, and felt they looked pretty good.

"You can try them on and see how they look," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her. "Just comparing them on your body isn't enough."

"I'll try it on." Dong Yunshan went into the fitting room, and when she came out again, she had changed into new clothes and pants.

"As expected..." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, "That's exactly what I was worried about."

Because Dong Yunshan has relatively broad shoulders, the top that originally looked quite nice was pushed up by her chest when she actually wore it, leaving the hem hanging in the air and looking a bit wrinkled.

Dong Yunshan gestured to the mirror. "We really need to try it to know the effect."

"Try this." Yukino Yukinoshita chose two of these fitted designs (3964460).

"It seems a bit too form-fitting..." Dong Yunshan said as she walked out of the fitting room.

The clothes clung almost completely to her body, appearing somewhat tight.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the sales assistant staring at Dong Yunshan's abs, then handed Dong Yunshan another item.

"This seems pretty good?" Dong Yunshan put his hands in the large pocket on his abdomen. "It's very convenient to move around in, the design is also good, it's perfect for sports, and the pockets are very practical."

"It doesn't match the style of the bottoms." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "Try these pants."

"It's a bit tight..." Dong Yunshan tried to move around a bit, "It feels like it'll constrict me when I run."

"How about cargo pants instead?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan who came out and shook her head helplessly. "They're a bit too loose."

Wearing a loose sweatshirt and loose cargo pants, Dong Yunshan visually appears to have shortened in height.

"Casual pants would be more suitable..." Yukino Yukinoshita examined the clothes carefully. "Would a T-shirt be better with a shirt...? The material should be breathable..."

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully selected her clothes, but she was never quite satisfied. Either the cut was bad, or the material was substandard, and she also had to consider the design style and how it would match other clothes.

"You can take a look at the clothes over here," the sales assistant added with a smile. "You might find something suitable."

The couple's outfit section... Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at it, about to continue picking out other items, when she suddenly spotted a T-shirt with a cat on it.

Volume 6: Chapter 245 The Timing Was Perfect

It was a white T-shirt.

To be precise, it contains cat-related elements.

The chest area features a simple line drawing of a cat's face, capturing the cat's adorable expression with just a few strokes.

There's also a black cat tail drawn in the back.

Why are you holding it in your hand...?

Yukino Yukinoshita realizing what was happening, reached out to put the T-shirt back.

"Look at this one... hmm?" Dong Yunshan came out of the fitting room and saw Yukino Yukinoshita in the couple's outfit section. "This one is so cute."

"This isn't suitable..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, recalling Dong Yunshan's appearance with the cat-ear headband. "It still suits us. We need to try it on to see how it looks."

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's face with suspicion.

"W-What?" Yukino Yukinoshita glared back defiantly.

"Your expression looks familiar..." Dong Yunshan murmured, "Wait, isn't that my gloating expression?"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "Your imagination."

"It's even more like it now." Dong Yunshan confirmed her guess. "I also pretend to be serious when I'm discovered."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Stop arguing and go try it."

Dong Yunshan picked up another identical model of the same size and examined it. "So it has a tail too. You wanted to see me grow a tail?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "It's about trying a different style."

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "So you don't deny wanting to see me grow a tail, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

"If you like them," the sales assistant said, "You can try them on together."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I don't need it..."

Dong Yunshan used the same reason Yukino Yukinoshita had just given. "Let's try a different style."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him. "The skirt and this T-shirt don't match."

Sales assistant. "We have pants here you can choose from."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

The only reason left to refuse is that you don't like it.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the cat's expression on the T-shirt.

It felt like the simple line drawing of eyes was staring at her.

I simply can't bring myself to say I don't like it...

Black casual pants paired with a white T-shirt is a classic combination that's hard to go wrong with.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at herself in the mirror.

Although the outfit itself wasn't bad, the style clearly didn't suit her.

Making her change into that T-shirt was a mistake.

Dong Yunshan only needs one glance to realize her mistake.

With these thoughts in mind, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and saw Dong Yunshan coming out at the same time.

After a brief eye contact, their gazes simultaneously moved downwards, then upwards again.

When they looked at each other again, they saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

I guessed it wouldn't be a particularly good match, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Dong Yunshan usually dresses in a mature manner, since she may need to deal with requests from time to time and communicate with adults.

In addition to these, there are types that are convenient for exercise.

A loose-fitting vest and a warm hoodie.

This cute style T-shirt looks really out of place on him.

Yukino Yukinoshita's temperament is more suited to the formal dresses she wore before, especially her cold expression, which doesn't match the cute T-shirt at all.

The sales assistant smiled broadly, "It would suit the two of you perfectly."

Even if it's not suitable, the sales assistant will say it is.

Neither Dong Yunshan nor Yukino Yukinoshita are the type to believe such rhetoric.

The two of them looked at the mirror in the store at the same time... Huh?

It seems quite suitable.

Yukino Yukinoshita saw the cat pattern on her body in the mirror, her expression immediately softened.

Remembering the cat's tail behind her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her previous cold demeanor completely disappeared.

Dong Yunshan also thought of the cat tail behind Yukino Yukinoshita, and a gloating smile appeared on his face.

This childish sentiment perfectly complements the cute style of the T-shirt.

The two exchanged another glance, both noticing the confusion in each other's eyes.

You clearly didn't feel compatible with each other when you looked at each other in the mirror, so how come you suddenly felt compatible when you looked in the mirror together?

"This outfit will do." As long as it looks good, Dong Yunshan didn't think about it any further. "The top and the pants, these two pieces..."

"This one doesn't count." Feeling Dong Yunshan's gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita straightened her dress. "We chose this one together, so I need to pick out two more for you."

Dong Yunshan: "Still need to choose?"

"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled confidently. "And I already know how to choose."

Why does Dong Yunshan look good on its own, but when two people look in the mirror together?

Yukino Yukinoshita's first thought was to distract attention, which reduced the sense of incongruity.

The second consideration is pairing cognitive bias.

The human brain tends to view things in pairs as a whole, and therefore perceives individual items as inadequate.

One chopstick doesn't look right, but a pair of chopsticks looks much better.

It's a matter of state.

This cute T-shirt is perfect for the gloating Dong Yunshan.

To be precise, it fits his mental state.

Previously, Yukino Yukinoshita was choosing clothes for Dong Yunshan, none of the choices felt right.

The problem isn't with the clothes, but rather with the Dong Yunshan itself; there's something inherently off about it.

Mature clothing doesn't suit his physical condition.

The clothes he was wearing didn't suit his mental state.

Others might hardly notice this subtle incongruity, but in the eyes of Yukino Yukinoshita, who is constantly trying to correct Dong Yunshan and strives for perfection, this incongruity is so severe that it cannot be ignored.

So when Dong Yunshan laughed because her T-shirt had a cat tail on it, this childish mentality made him instantly fit into the cute style of clothing.

Physiological state is difficult to adjust, but psychological state can be guided.

Yukino Yukinoshita, accompanied by Dong Yunshan, tried on various exaggerated styles of clothing before transitioning to a relatively refreshing style, and quickly chose a satisfactory outfit.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction.

That concludes today's shopping.

it's over.

Dong Yunshan glanced at the time. "We've been wandering around for so long..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyelids drooped slightly... It had indeed been quite a long time.

Dong Yunshan glanced at the shopping bag in her hand. "I'm just accompanying you to choose, but you're helping me choose, and you've chosen so well—how about I arrange dinner?"

Does it really have to be calculated so precisely?

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "It's a bit early for dinner now."

"If we start preparing now, the time will be just right." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly. "Perfect... you can also test the results of my recent culinary studies."

Volume 6: Chapter 246 is about to end

Back at Dong Yunshan's house, Yukino Yukinoshita casually put down her shopping bags and changed into slippers.

Dong Yunshan carried the heavier ingredients and headed straight for the kitchen.

Yukino Yukinoshita followed, but was stopped by Dong Yunshan.

"Today is the day I show you what I've accomplished." Dong Yunshan tied on her apron. "You've been walking all day. Go take a shower and get some rest. I'll call you when you're done."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "I'll borrow the shirt."

"Um."
