Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction. "After checking and confirming everything is correct... um..."
As she spoke, she stood up, but as soon as she stood, her brows furrowed.
Because I've been thinking and maintaining one position for a long time, when I suddenly start moving, my body immediately feels like it's rusted.
Dong Yunshan noticed her unusual behavior. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Yukino Yukinoshita tried to move around a bit, "I'm just a little stiff."
"Moving around like this won't help." Dong Yunshan dragged a chair away from the desk. "Sit down, I'll teach you a few moves."
Yukino Yukinoshita sat down on the chair and looked at Dong Yunshan standing in front of her.
"The first movement," Dong Yunshan raised his hands, "Is to place your hands behind your head, and then try to point one elbow toward the ceiling while simultaneously rotating your chest toward the ceiling—like this."
"First published on 705u. com - Book Club"
Yukino Yukinoshita imitated Dong Yunshan's demonstration, and immediately heard faint sounds from within her body, feeling as if half of her body had opened up. "Hmm~~~"
"Hold for five seconds to relax, then switch sides, repeat three times on each side," Dong Yunshan explained in detail. "The ribcage gets compressed from sitting for long periods, as do the latissimus dorsi muscles. Extending your arms forward also puts your shoulders in an internal rotation position—this movement is quite helpful."
Yukino Yukinoshita completed the action amidst Dong Yunshan's countdown, and immediately felt much lighter.
"Then put your ankle on the knee of your other leg..." Dong Yunshan looked away and sat down next to Yukino Yukinoshita. "Place your elbows on your legs and reach down. This will stretch your back."
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, straightened her skirt, and tried to replicate his movement. "Hoo~"
Because of the body's flexibility, this movement is easier.
"Then glide along the wall." Dong Yunshan came to the wall. "Lean against the wall, try to put your hands against the wall, forearms pressed against the wall, keep the backs of your hands against the wall, and then glide your hands upwards—it's normal that your forearms don't touch the wall at the top, just keep the backs of your hands against the wall."
"This doesn't look too difficult..." Yukino Yukinoshita tried it, then immediately frowned. "Hmm...?"
It's a very simple movement, but when you actually do it, it feels like you're struggling against your own body.
And once it was completed, the effects were immediate.
It felt like I had broken free of the ropes binding me, and I felt much lighter.
Yukino Yukinoshita tried moving around a bit, and her initial stiffness had completely disappeared. "The effect is surprisingly good?"
"I'll feel even better after another shower." Dong Yunshan sat down at the computer. "I'll check it, and if there are no problems, I'll send it to the teacher directly."
"Mmm." Yukino Yukinoshita responded, entered the bedroom, took her clothes from Dong Yunshan's wardrobe, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out, Dong Yunshan had already sent the manuscript to Shizuka Hiratsuka's email address.
Dong Yunshan shut down the computer and went into the bathroom.
When I came out, Yukino Yukinoshita was tilting her head and drying her hair.
Yukino Yukinoshita originally intended to dry her hair while Dong Yunshan was taking a bath.
This way, you can use the sink to wash up right after taking a Dong Yunshan.
I didn't expect the Dong Yunshan to wash so quickly.
"Let me help you." Dong Yunshan took the hairdryer and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita's wet hair. "How can I help?"
"... Put your fingers in." It's too slow to blow- Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want to occupy the sink for too long, so she obediently stood up straight. "Lift up the roots, then blow-dry from top to bottom, until it's about 80% dry."
"I understand, is that right?"
Yukino Yukinoshita squinted her eyes like a kitten. "Yes, just blow it layer by layer like that."
The damp hair gradually became fluffy, strands brushing against Dong Yunshan's palm.
It's itchy.
When the air is about 80% dry, and the remaining moisture has naturally dried, it's time to rest.
Yukino Yukinoshita rested her head on Dong Yunshan's arm and closed her eyes.
The wedding planning, which lasted for nearly a week, has now come to an end.
Volume 6: Chapter 284 Amidst the Busyness
"You've been getting less and less attentive lately." Haruno Yukinoshita stirred her Frappuccino with a straw, gazing out the window at the shop where renovations were nearing completion. "If it weren't for the phone calls, I would have thought this was my own business."
A white T-shirt paired with light blue jeans—a simple combination—exudes a unique charm on Haruno Yukinoshita.
"You've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, haven't you?" Dong Yunshan said, sipping her iced Americano, her brow slightly furrowed. "I remember there were exam weeks in college too."
"Oh?" Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "Is an exam really that important to you?"
"Of course not." Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together.
If it's just an exam, it's quite easy to handle.
However, the Service Club held a reading group, and under Yukino Yukinoshita's supervision, everyone was studying hard, and Dong Yunshan also had to take it seriously.
Taking exams seriously isn't a difficult thing; the key is...
"The typhoon is hitting the Tsugaru Strait," Dong Yunshan sighed softly. "It'll be a bit troublesome to handle."
"Oh~" Haruno Yukinoshita recalled the dinner they had during Golden Week. "A transportation company? Do you need any help?"
"That's it, nothing much to help with." Dong Yunshan gathered his thoughts. "We had already received information from the Japan Meteorological Agency, so we were prepared in advance. The temporary emergency cold storage in Hachinohe, Aomori, came in handy. The route from Tomakomai Port to Niigata Port, as well as the emergency air transport channel, ensured the transportation of goods. Costs increased, but customer relationships were preserved, and there was also insurance compensation..."
Crisis can also be an opportunity. Compared to other logistics companies that developed around the same time, Cloud Flash Delivery, with Dong Yunshan's advance planning, demonstrated a crisis management capability far exceeding that of other companies, resulting in a significant increase in subsequent orders.
Dong Yunshan, who also had exams to take, became busy as well.
"That sounds really tough." Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "I thought you were just giving me something to do so I wouldn't bother you and Yukino —looks like I was wrong."
"Instead of thinking about that, why not think of something else?" Dong Yunshan tapped the documents on the table lightly, "Like a shop name."
"Isn't brand management part of your job?" Haruno Yukinoshita tilted her head. "You're not going to assign that kind of work to me, are you?"
"While I probably won't take your ideas into consideration, it's better to think about things related to your career than to let your imagination run wild." Dong Yunshan opened the file. "Take a look at this."
"Cloud Snow Tea?" Haruno Yukinoshita glanced at the document, then looked up at Dong Yunshan. "Is this the name you designed for the shop?"
"How?"
"It feels..." Haruno Yukinoshita said frankly, "Not as amazing as I expected."
"If it's expected, it can't possibly be amazing..."
"Who told you to be so confident? I thought you'd come up with a name that would make me exclaim 'Wow!'" Haruno Yukinoshita put down the documents. "But we agreed that you'd be in charge of this, so I'll do as you say."
"Using the words directly in the trademark can increase and strengthen the memorability of the brand name." Dong Yunshan turned to another page, "Using matcha color as the background color highlights the tea element, and the design of the corresponding transparent cups and paper bags should also follow suit."
"Following up means..." Haruno Yukinoshita's cheeks puffed out slightly, "Does that mean I'm responsible for all of this?"
"I've already had the design done." Dong Yunshan tapped the file lightly. "Of course, it'll be faster for you to handle the subsequent factory production."
"Such a simple design..."
"Simple yet sophisticated." Dong Yunshan further explained, "The minimalist design differentiates it from the lively cartoon style of other brands, creating a sense of high-end milk tea experience."
Haruno Yukinoshita simply summarized. "Looks more expensive?"
"The font design retains a certain roundness, softening the industrial-style sharp edges, echoing the brand's commitment to freshly made tea drinks."
Haruno Yukinoshita realized. "It seems reasonably expensive?"
"Rounded corners on square logos avoid a harsh look, enhance a sense of sophistication and modernity, and make them suitable for different scenarios."
Haruno Yukinoshita nodded. "To make it look expensive to others."
"... You understand very well." Dong Yunshan nodded in satisfaction. "The subsequent related design..."
"You do it," Haruno Yukinoshita scoffed. "I haven't fully grasped it yet, don't try to dump all the work on me."
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly as she pointed her finger at the trademark. "Which 'snow' is this?"
"Snow falling."
"Anything else?"
"Look it up in the dictionary yourself." Dong Yunshan waved her phone. "I'm going to the transportation company; I still have some work to take care of."
"Bye-bye~" Haruno Yukinoshita waved goodbye, her smile adorable.
So, which [snow] is it?
"The 'cloud' of Shinonome, the 'snow' of Yukinoshita." Yukinoshita's mother flipped through the documents. "It looks like a collaboration between the two companies."
"Oh, it's about family..." Haruno Yukinoshita said with a bored expression. "I thought it had a more interesting meaning."
"Interesting?" Yukinoshita's mother flipped through more of the content, including a section on mascot designs. "This doesn't have any interesting meaning at all."
"I know that collaborations between families must be approached with caution..."
"I already said, that's what it looks like." Yukinoshita's mother picked up a design drawing. "Actually..."
Haruno Yukinoshita looked up and saw a simple line drawing of a cat, a cute black and white cat. "A mascot? He said it's not suitable to launch a mascot directly at the beginning, so we don't need to put too much effort into it now. We just designed a few as options. After the opening, launching a mascot can be used to generate buzz and promote the brand."
"That's what he said..." Yukinoshita's mother's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. "Do you know anything about this kind of cat?"
"I prefer dogs." Haruno Yukinoshita shook her head. "As for cats, Yukino knows them better."
"I didn't know there were so many ways to say it. They all sound so vivid and elegant." Haruno Yukinoshita asked, puzzled, "So what's wrong?"
"This is just a black-backed, white-bellied bird," a cold glint flashed Yukinoshita the mother's eyes, "Also known as... [Dark Cloud Covering Snow]."
Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."
You've started again.
Volume 6: Chapter 285 Wedding Consensus
The end of the exams does not mean the end of the first semester.
The exams are in early July, and summer vacation doesn't start until the end of July.
The good news is that the rainy season ended along with the exams.
The bad news is, the weather is really getting hot.
"Hello~~~" Because of the hot weather, Komachi Hikigaya's originally energetic greeting became weak and listless.
One word is missing.
The skirt was shortened a little, and the original navy blue stockings were gradually replaced by invisible stockings.
Yui Yuigahama had just sat down in the activity room when she pulled at her chest to fan herself, exclaiming, "It's so hot!"
"Thank you~" Komachi Hikigaya took the drink, pressed it to her cheek, and let out a relaxed sound, "I'm alive again..."
Dong Yunshan, who usually exercises regularly, has been doing very little these past few days, instead sitting at her desk researching various materials to prepare for what's to come.
After taking a big gulp of her ice-cold drink, Yui Yuigahama's voice lightened a bit. She turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Little Yukino, aren't you hot?"
Despite the weather, Yukino Yukinoshita was still wearing over-the-knee socks, and her hair was still loose as always.
"A calm mind brings coolness." Yukino Yukinoshita brushed her long hair aside. "It's just that the humidity has been so high lately that it's all stuck together."
"Me too... Oh, right!" Yui Yuigahama took a comb out of her bag and walked behind Yukino Yukinoshita, "In that case..."
Yukino Yukinoshita, confused, asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't move around." Yui Yuigahama carefully combed Yukino Yukinoshita's hair, then took a hair tie from her pocket and tied her hair into a bun. "Long hair in the summer makes the heat get trapped inside. Isn't this much cooler? It doesn't feel sticky anymore?"
"I was talking about the book..." Yukino Yukinoshita held up the paperback book in her hand, "Because of the humidity, the pages feel like they're all stuck together."
"Ah... I thought it was hair." Yui Yuigahama scratched her head sheepishly. "Sorry, I'll fix it for you right away... Ning."
"It's alright, it does feel cooler this way." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "Although I don't know what it looks like now."
Yui Yuigahama took a small, square, pink mirror out of her schoolbag. "Here you go!"
"Thank you." Yukino Yukinoshita took the mirror, looked at herself in it, and fiddled with her hair, which was tied into a bun. "It's... it's very cool."
"That's right~" Yui Yuigahama happily hugged Yukino Yukinoshita.
Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's starting to get hot."
"Saki, Saki, give it a try too!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed eagerly.
"Forget it," Saki Kawasaki shook her head in refusal. "My hair is too long; it'll be even more uncomfortable to put it up."
"Oh yeah..." Yui Yuigahama looked at Saki Kawasaki's hair, which was almost as long as her height. "Speaking of which, Saki's hair is really long. It must have been growing for a long time, right?"
"At first I was just too lazy to take care of it... and when I came to my senses, it was already this long." Saki Kawasaki smoothed her hair. "Now I'm in that stage where it's too much trouble not to cut it, but it's a pity to cut it."
