Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Dong Yunshan has seen this kind of tactic many times, and he uses it himself frequently.
"We're just here to get some initial information and compare plans from different consulting firms," Dong Yunshan replied politely. "No need to trouble yourself."
"For such a major life event as a wedding, it's natural to compare options carefully before making a decision. Regardless of whether you ultimately choose our company's services, we will do our best to fulfill our responsibilities," Mizuno Miho gently advised. "It's the same principle as choosing clothes. Even if you like a dress, you need to try it on to see how it really looks. For something as important as a wedding, a simple consultation is ultimately no substitute for a real experience. Fortunately, our company currently has a joint project with wedding venues and official organizations, and customers who come for consultation can experience it for free—I can apply for it so you can try on a few different options."
The second marketing technique is the principle of consistency of commitment. Once people make a small commitment and accept the first step of the service, such as a free trial, a massage, or a free eye exam, they are more likely to maintain consistency in their behavior and accept more paid services in the future.
Mizuno Miho noticed that although the two newcomers had been arguing fiercely, they never directed their anger at her.
And after she spoke, the two men were very friendly.
Even if the man is still emotional, the woman can easily soothe him.
This customer is so great.
First of all, if any problems arise during the process, they will argue first, so Mizuno Miho waste her breath.
Secondly, even if they have any emotions, they will process them internally and they will not affect Mizuno Miho.
Finally, and most importantly, these two are absolutely capable of making it work.
If they succeed, Mizuno Miho's commission will also be earned.
Good things come in pairs, right?
"So that's how it is. This is indeed a good opportunity." Dong Yunshan nodded. "If there's any wear and tear during the fitting, will that be added to the wedding planning costs?"
"You two can rest assured about that. Professional staff will assist with the dressing process, and if any unexpected issues arise, our partner wedding dress company will help resolve them," Mizuno Miho patiently explained. "A portion of the project's budget and official funding is allocated to this area, so neither you nor we need to contribute any funds."
Dong Yunshan: "..."
What may seem like a free trial activity could very well be a hidden trap for payment.
For example, if the clothes are damaged after wearing them, and you don't want to pay for the damages, you'll have no choice but to have the wedding planned by this company.
So Dong Yunshan casually mentioned it.
Regardless of whether the staff answered yes or no, they acknowledged the existence of this fee, and he was able to refuse to try it on, citing concerns about damage.
However, the staff were quite experienced, and with the resources provided by all parties involved in the project, they easily broke through Dong Yunshan's usual tactics.
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita came here because of a project, and now they can't leave because of that project either.
1. Since there is no legitimate reason for refusing the experience activity, both individuals must participate in the activity if they wish to continue gathering material.
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan: Your trap failed, didn't it?
Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow: You have a way?
1. Yukino Yukinoshita raised her fair chin slightly, revealing a smug and proud expression. She hugged Dong Yunshan's arm, her icy blue eyes looking up slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Shall we try out the Shinto-style Ceremony?"
On June 1st, Dong Yunshan was even a little dazed, unable to tell whether she had come here to gather materials or to plan her wedding soon.
7. Who exactly is the person who is crossing their arms...?
1. "Okay." Dong Yunshan patted her head and answered softly.
Yukino Yukinoshita, and a blush rose on her fair cheeks.
Mizuno Miho: "..." Aren't you going to give me a kiss? Or should I look away?
Fifthly, you can't avoid it; there's also a commission involved.
"Please follow me, both of you." Mizuno Miho to lead the way. "A professional stylist will be happy to assist you."
Dong Yunshan's outfit is relatively simple: a white undergarment with a black haori and hakama, which is essentially a white undergarment with a black coat and trousers. The stylist then makes a few simple adjustments to complete the look.
It's not so easy for Yukino Yukinoshita.
Dong Yunshan had just changed her clothes when she heard a knock on the door.
After receiving permission, Mizuno Miho pushed open the locker room door. "Sir, your wife would like you to come in for a moment."
Dong Yunshan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
Entering the dressing room and passing the screen, Dong Yunshan saw Yukino Yukinoshita wearing a white petticoat in front of the mirror.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Yukino Yukinoshita gently raised her chin. "Aren't you worried? Let them talk to you properly."
I'm busy changing clothes, so there might be some details I miss. Please ask me a few more questions to ensure the research goes smoothly— Dong Yunshan mentally translated this, then turned to the costume designers dressed in simple kimonos. "Thank you all."
The stylist politely returned the greeting, and one of the elegant ladies introduced the work, "Traditional rupan (a type of traditional Chinese robe) has poor breathability, so we've replaced the traditional cotton rupan and silk long rupan with a one-piece breathable underskirt. Through a similar approach, we've reduced the original maximum of ten layers to three..."
Her body was wrapped in crimson silk, which complemented the faint blush on Yukino Yukinoshita's cheeks.
"The original heavy silk robe has been significantly improved. While maintaining its dignified appearance, it was provided by Kyoto Marubeni Store and has been reduced in weight by 40%. The robe is secured with snaps or zippers, eliminating the need for multiple layers of wrapping. The front is pre-sewn to maintain its shape." The aunt handed over two small packages. "The original taiko knot required folding, stuffing, and securing the obi (waistband). Now, only this lightweight obi with a hollow frame is needed."
Dong Yunshan weighed it in his hand, his eyes widening immediately. "This belt must weigh at least four kilograms."
"The Maru Obi weighs five kilograms," the aunt added. "With the strap, cotton stuffing, and other accessories, it weighs another kilogram."
"My concerns were valid, weren't they..." Dong Yunshan handed the two small packages back to the other person, then looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in the mirror. "With your stamina, you probably won't be able to walk more than a few steps."
"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him sideways, then smiled under the watchful eyes of the costume designers. "You're the one who's most thoughtful."
Volume 6: Chapter 273 You Wait for Me
Since they were supposed to be pretending to be newlyweds, Yukino Yukinoshita felt she needed to adjust her demeanor and not be as casual as usual.
but...
Through the mirror, Yukino Yukinoshita could clearly see Dong Yunshan looking around like a curious child, his attitude casual and natural, just like a newlywed husband.
Compared to her hard work and seriousness, Dong Yunshan's casualness and naturalness were almost excessive.
In addition, the outfits were different, so Dong Yunshan changed in just a few minutes, while it would take her at least half an hour to change even with the simplified clothes.
To be honest, Yukino Yukinoshita has been putting up with Dong Yunshan for a while now.
Dong Yunshan actually dared to provoke her.
"You've thought of everything so thoroughly..." After responding like this, Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes slightly and let out a soft hum, "I'll leave the rest of the details to you."
"Well..." Dong Yunshan noticed Yukino Yukinoshita's mood, "Let's discuss this further."
"You decide," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a hint of a smile. "After all, I haven't considered things as thoroughly as you have."
"Since you've put it that way..." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow, "Then let's wear a wedding dress."
The busy stylists paused upon hearing this.
Mizuno Miho waved her hand, signaling them to continue.
"Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I also feel this outfit doesn't suit you very well—Miss Mizuno, could you please help him choose a suitable wedding dress?"
"Pfft!" Mizuno Miho, who had been holding it in for a while, couldn't hold back any longer. "I'm sorry, I'll go find it right away... I mean... uh..."
How did I become part of your flirting?
Dong Yunshan coughed lightly. "I want the kind with a really long train, so long that I don't even need to sweep the floor after walking around it..."
Seeing Dong Yunshan's serious expression, Mizuno Miho couldn't help but recall a rather vivid image, and couldn't help but stammer, "Pfft! I-I'm sorry..."
Why are they flirting and teasing each other while chained together?
The older stylists had beaming smiles on their faces.
For a formal wedding, these pre-ceremony preparations are usually carried out separately.
They rarely saw newlyweds flirting during the preparation process.
No wonder Mizuno Miho gestured for them to continue; it turns out she knew about the way these two interacted during their previous conversation.
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan with annoyance; once this person starts making a fuss, it never ends.
"You two have such a good relationship," the costume designer remarked, before explaining, "During the actual procedure, a professional stylist will style your hair, using a combination of hair extensions and real hair, which will take over an hour."
"There's no need for all that trouble this time." Yukino Yukinoshita understood the unspoken meaning in the other person's words. "Just help me put my hair up."
"Okay." The stylist untied the hair that had been simply pinned up for easier dressing and readjusted it. "Afterwards, you'll need to wear a cotton hat and horn-covering cap, which will basically cover your hair."
"A cotton hat?" Dong Yunshan asked curiously. "Horned hiding place?"
"This is the cotton hat." The stylist handed over a large, hood-like headdress made of silk, with ruffled edges. The material was light and fluffy, completely covering the head and shoulders. "Wearing this will prevent the bride's hidden spiritual energy from being brought to the groom's family; it symbolizes warding off misfortune."
Then she handed over a white silk headscarf. "Legend has it that women have a horn of evil in their hearts, a symbol of jealousy and willfulness. Wearing this horn-covered headscarf signifies concealing one's sharp edges and integrating into one's husband's family."
"I see." Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in the mirror. "Shall we wear it?"
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked. "You've thought things through more thoroughly than I have."
"Since you've put it that way..." Dong Yunshan put down the cotton hat and the horned hairpin, "Then let's skip that. You might as well style your hair up nicely."
Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes shimmered. "There's spiritual energy in her hair."
"It's nothing," Dong Yunshan patted her chest. "I'm in good health."
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "I already know that kind of thing without you having to say it."
Yukino Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan's physical abilities.
The smiles on the dressers' faces held a deeper meaning.
It's so good to be young.
Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled slightly. "You don't want Kakugakure either?"
"If you don't have a demon horn, there's no need to wear it; if you do, there's no need to hide it." Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in the mirror. "Besides, I feel that even if you wear the Horned Demon Horn, it probably won't be able to hide your sharpness..."
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him with a stern face.
"I was wrong, let me correct you." A smile appeared on Dong Yunshan's face. "It's impossible to hide."
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "You wait..."
Dong Yunshan looked at the dresser. "Could you slow down a bit? Give me a little more time to escape."
"It's almost finished." The stylist's voice was full of undisguised joy. "Sir, please wait outside for a moment; you'll be even more surprised then."
Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly.
The performance has reached a sufficient level, enough to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent filming.
Dong Yunshan left the locker room, saying he would wait a moment, but in reality it took another half hour.
Hearing the door open amidst the soft music, Dong Yunshan looked up.
A girl dressed in White Bridal Kimono slowly approached, the dreamy light shining down, illuminating the delicate dark patterns on her pure white robe, like pure, flawless snow, like light, ethereal clouds, drawing closer little by little, finally stopping in front of him.
Beneath a semi-transparent veil, Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, "Help me lift it."
"Ah... um... okay." Dong Yunshan stiffly pinched a corner of the thin gauze and gently lifted it.
A young girl with light makeup came into view.
Her already fair skin appeared even more radiant, making the faint blush on her cheeks even more captivating. Her light pink cherry lips were pressed into a thin line, and under Dong Yunshan's gaze, they moved slightly, opening a tiny slit to exhale a warm breath.
With just a slight upward turn of her icy blue eyes, a mesmerizing light shimmered, reflecting Dong Yunshan's blank expression.
Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lower lip, then reached out and placed her hand on Dong Yunshan's waist—pinching it.
"I just said," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a playful smile, "I'll make you wait for me."
Finally regaining her senses, Dong Yunshan pressed down on Yukino Yukinoshita's small hand. "Your horn is showing."
"Because I didn't wear the Horned Cavern," Yukino Yukinoshita smugly chuckled. "It's too late to regret it now."
"No regrets." Dong Yunshan grasped her hand. "Not now, and never will."
Volume 6: Chapter 274 This Moment
Dong Yunshan understood the impermanence of life.
Those seemingly ordinary days, no different from any other, could very well be the last moments of your life.
No matter how desperate or hopeful, it will all turn into meaningless Void in that instant.
If my life were to end tomorrow...
Even in that endless Void, the beauty of this very moment will surely shine brightly.
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita held hands, feeling the warmth of each other's palms, imprinting each other's images in their eyes and engraving them in their hearts.
The most basic black and white colors, at this moment, radiate the most dreamlike brilliance, merging in each other's breath and flowing in silent gazes.
Yukino Yukinoshita wants to know the right direction.
Or rather, it's a direction that's even more correct than correct.
