Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Is this what it feels like to watch a movie together?
Sharing... the same feelings.
Although Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't need his hug.
But if he needs it...
Under Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze, Dong Yunshan realized that his arms were tightening around her.
The image of the female protagonist working hard in the movie awakened deep memories in Dong Yunshan.
That memory welled up from the depths of his heart, tearing at his skin, wrapping him layer upon layer, trying to drag him into that deathly silent night.
He wanted to break free, but he couldn't even find a target to fight against.
He tried to struggle, but he could never break free from the invisible bonds.
Only when the movie reached its happy ending did a faint light appear in the pitch-black deep sea.
That was warmth so close at hand.
Within easy reach.
He gently embraced the light.
Then warmth seeped into his chest, dispelling the invisible constraints.
When he came to his senses, he was already holding Yukino Yukinoshita in his arms.
This was an involuntary, unconscious action...
Once you realize it, you shouldn't continue.
But...
Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's wet eyes, the tear stains on her face, and hearing her weak, almost sobbing breaths.
Dong Yunshan really couldn't bear to let go.
Although he has matured to the point that he can regulate his own emotional fluctuations.
But Yukino Yukinoshita still needs a warm hug.
then...
Yukino Yukinoshita wrapped her arms around Dong Yunshan's body.
Dong Yunshan held Yukino Yukinoshita in her arms.
The heavy rain outside hadn't stopped, sending the cold air into the room.
In the midst of a noisy downpour, the two embraced tightly under a warm blanket.
It was so quiet that you could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
Yukino Yukinoshita heard Dong Yunshan's heartbeat quicken little by little, as if it wanted to break free from his body and jump into her arms.
But at a certain critical point, his heartbeat returned to its original rhythm.
She heard a sigh so faint it was almost inaudible.
"It's time to rest," Dong Yunshan whispered. "We have to get up early tomorrow."
This isn't something she's saying to herself... Yukino Yukinoshita thought of the movie she'd just watched.
When the female protagonist is extremely exhausted, she slaps her face vigorously to cheer herself up and face her work.
Dong Yunshan is pretending to be an adult again.
Adults shouldn't indulge in such warm embraces.
The more we need a hug, the less we should rely on it.
Take the initiative to leave the embrace and hide your dependence.
Force yourself to work hard and face reality bravely.
The Dong Yunshan is putting on a brave face... absolutely putting on a brave face.
Yukino Yukinoshita knows all of this.
But this time, let's not expose him.
so...
Yukino Yukinoshita gave a soft "hmm" and tightened her arms around Dong Yunshan a little.
It really will take a little longer... Dong Yunshan gently patted Yukino Yukinoshita's body.
Although Yukino Yukinoshita far more outstanding than the average high school student, she is still a high school student after all.
There will be times when I want to act cute and affectionate.
Even though I know this can't go on forever, I still want it to last even a second longer.
Yukino Yukinoshita being coquettish... she's definitely being coquettish.
so...
Dong Yunshan slightly straightened up, and with her other arm, she lifted Yukino Yukinoshita's legs, which were encased in black pantyhose, and with a little force, carried her to her feet and walked into the bedroom.
Yukino Yukinoshita skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck.
Dong Yunshan was indeed putting on a brave face; even in a hug, he wanted to demonstrate his strength.
But none of this could escape her notice.
Physical strength and mental strength are different.
The more Dong Yunshan displays his physical strength, the more he exposes his inner vulnerability.
The more someone tries to appear capable, the more they will expose their inability to do so.
For example... now.
Dong Yunshan stood by the bed, holding Yukino Yukinoshita in her arms.
The quilt was spread on the bed.
He can't put Yukino Yukinoshita Yukino Yukinoshita in the quilt unless he puts her down.
He put Yukino Yukinoshita; Yukino Yukinoshita was on the quilt.
What he couldn't do, Yukino Yukinoshita could do with ease.
Yukino Yukinoshita hooked her arm around Dong Yunshan's neck and reached out with her other hand to lift a corner of the blanket on the bed.
Dong Yunshan picked up Yukino Yukinoshita and snuggled into the slightly chilly bed.
Yukino Yukinoshita is definitely being coquettish.
Even while getting into bed, she didn't want the hug to end.
It's like a child holding onto candy, refusing to let go.
None of this could escape Dong Yunshan's eyes.
External coldness and internal warmth are not contradictory.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who perseveres through her own efforts, has moments of vulnerability.
For example... now.
Yukino Yukinoshita's slender body filled the embrace of the Dong Yunshan.
The cold bed was gradually warmed by the body heat of the two people embracing each other.
The heavy rain outside the window, along with the coldness inside, was kept out.
Their soft breaths mingled silently as Yukino Yukinoshita nestled in Dong Yunshan's arms, listening to his heartbeat.
Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and gently patted her back.
I know you're putting on a brave face, so... you don't need to.
I know you're being cute, so... you can be cute.
You don't need to express your thoughts.
I don't need to express my thoughts.
Because you are by my side.
Because I will be by your side.
Volume 6: Chapter 251 Come Back With Me
On a rainy night, even the blankets in the bedroom are cold.
But as long as you hold Yukino Yukinoshita in your arms, the warmth will seep into your whole body and dispel the damp chill of the rainy night.
The delicate Yukino Yukinoshita, leaning against his chest, provides Dong Yunshan with a continuous source of strength.
Even the unforgettable nightmares turned into light snowflakes, refracting fragmented glimmers of light to dispel the darkness.
The blanket... is so cold.
Yukino Yukinoshita's legs were slightly curled up, and the pantyhose covering her legs rubbed together gently, making a faint sound.
It's as cold as the blankets at home.
The difference is...
A warm body was separating us from the blanket.
Wrap her body in something gentler than a blanket.
Although she was the one helping the stubborn Dong Yunshan...
However, Yukino Yukinoshita does not deny that this kind of bed is indeed warmer than the one at home.
This feeling...
The gentle pats on her back gradually relaxed Yukino Yukinoshita's body.
She seemed to turn into a little baby, closing her eyes as Dong Yunshan gently patted her... No!
Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly opened her eyes.
Dong Yunshan was really trying to lull her to sleep like a baby.
"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up from in Dong Yunshan's arms, "I can do it myself."
Dong Yunshan paused in her light patting motion. "Hmm?"
"It's you who needs my help, not the other way around..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "I don't need you... like that."
If you keep treating me like a child, I won't help you anymore... Yukino Yukinoshita gently pushed Dong Yunshan's chest with both hands as a warning.
Dong Yunshan felt a slight pressure on her chest and saw the resistance in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes. "Then... goodnight."
The time for her to act cute is over, Yukino Yukinoshita is going back to her normal self... Realizing this, Dong Yunshan got out of bed and tucked Yukino Yukinoshita in.
Seeing Dong Yunshan take a blanket and leave the bedroom, Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but only managed to utter a single word...
"Good night."
Click.
The bedroom door is closed.
Yukino Yukinoshita wrapped herself tightly in her blanket.
The warmth of the Dong Yunshan still lingered in the blanket.
But Yukino Yukinoshita knew that this temperature would soon disappear.
And she alone was completely powerless to stop it.
I lay on the sofa, hugging the blanket and using the cushions as my pillow.
Dong Yunshan shrank back.
This blanket seems a bit colder.
The time for her to act cute ended way too quickly...
Dong Yunshan took off her clothes and put on the sleepiness she had brought with her when she grabbed the blanket.
