Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Are you really not ready?

They're already engaged.

"I...I know it's never possible to be perfectly prepared." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "I've been using being unprepared as an excuse to avoid and postpone meeting your parents."

"Let me guess..." Dong Yunshan gently kissed her forehead, "You wouldn't be thinking of outdoing me in meeting my parents, would you?"

"Mmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly, "A little."

Although there were unexpected factors involved, Dong Yunshan did meet Yukino Yukinoshita's father after they confirmed their relationship.

While Yukino Yukinoshita had met Dong Yunshan's mother, it was before they officially started dating, when she was taking care of the baby...

After confirming their relationship, Yukino Yukinoshita had not yet met Dong Yunshan 'Dong Yunshan parents as Higashi Unsugi's girlfriend.

When Dong Yunshan met Xue's father, she behaved very well.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been observing the whole thing, naturally hoped that she could perform well as well.

However, it's clearly not that easy.

While chatting with Xue's father, Dong Yunshan talked about the industry's development and future plans.

At least we have common topics to discuss.

Yukino Yukinoshita had rehearsed the conversation in her mind many times, but she still couldn't decide what to talk about with Dong Yunshan's parents.

Dong Yunshan met Xuefu by chance, and both behaved so well.

Yukino Yukinoshita has prepared for so long; if she performs worse than if she met Dong Yunshan by chance...

Either they weren't prepared.

Either they weren't prepared properly.

Either way, it's terrible.

It takes some time to prepare... We've been preparing for so long to get to this point... We still need to prepare further... We've been preparing for even longer...

In this spiral, the original preparations become excuses for escapism.

"It seems..." Dong Yunshan leaned closer to her warm, jade-like earlobe, "It's time to correct you a bit."

Yukino Yukinoshita shrank her shoulders. "What... what are you being coy about?"

"Your understanding of winning and losing is flawed..." Savoring the fragrance of her hair, Dong Yunshan kissed her elegantly curved neck. "Tell me, who has won now?"

"Yes... I won." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice trembled slightly. "You couldn't hold back..."

"I lost," Dong Yunshan murmured.

He lay in the warm Kotatsu, holding his lovely fiancée in his arms.

Dong Yunshan grabbed the button on Yukino Yukinoshita's loungewear and pulled it open slightly. "Then I lost terribly..."

"I must have won, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita hugged Dong Yunshan's head, feeling the sharpness of his words, her thoughts as chaotic as her clothes.

Since she has already won, why is it Dong Yunshan who is recklessly savoring the taste of victory?

Yes, that's right.

Since we've already lost, there's no need to endure it any longer.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who won, had to continue to endure in order to maintain her victory.

"Hoo~" Dong Yunshan raised her head slightly to adjust her breathing, and the warm breath she exhaled lingered reluctantly on Yukino Yukinoshita's fair skin.

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly, her arms instinctively tightening around Dong Yunshan's head, pulling it back into her embrace.

"Mmm~" Before Dong Yunshan could catch his breath, he kissed Yukino again. In Yukino Yukinoshita's tight embrace, he dutifully took what he wanted.

"You lost this time..." Dong Yunshan raised her eyes, "You couldn't hold back."

"I lost~" Yukino Yukinoshita's watery eyes were half-closed as she slowly pressed down on Dong Yunshan. "Well... now it's your turn to be patient."

Kotatsu.

It's okay to wear two fewer layers.

Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed the hem of Dong Yunshan's coat and folded it up to reveal his well-defined muscles.

Fold it up near the neckline, and the loose sweatshirt forms a structure that resembles reins.

"Hold on, or you'll lose." Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her clothes and leaned down to remind her, "Don't go in—uh!"

Yukino Yukinoshita stiffened, then collapsed onto Dong Yunshan as if all her strength had been drained.

"... Terrible~" Her voice trailed off uncontrollably, Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly out of breath. "You... can't even endure it for a little while?"

"I just couldn't help it." Dong Yunshan reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, tenderly cupping her flushed cheeks. "If it were you, would you have been able to resist too?"

"What is it--um... I can't help it--uh! I'm going to--ooh~" Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, her icy blue eyes shimmering, glaring fiercely at Dong Yunshan.

Instead of bullying your own lips, bully the lips of the Dong Yunshan.

Thinking of this, Yukino Yukinoshita adjusted her angle and skillfully kissed Dong Yunshan.

Hold on... I can definitely hold on... No!

Adding a kiss makes it feel completely different.

Even the sound of kissing has become strange.

"You... you won..." Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit Dong Yunshan's earlobe, her breathy voice sounding like a sob, "My dear husband~"

Once you lose, you don't have to endure it anymore.

Thus, the already indistinct sound became an even more indistinct murmur and soft singing.

"Awoo~" Yukino Yukinoshita held onto Dong Yunshan's shoulder and lowered her head to bite him.

Dong Yunshan, relying on her superior stamina, won against her several times in a row before finally conceding defeat.

Yukino Yukinoshita just regained a little strength, couldn't wait to begin punishing him.

Or rather... to enjoy the hard-won victory.

After kissing the bite marks she had made twice, Yukino Yukinoshita turned to stare at Dong Yunshan: "Is this your method of correction?"

"Yeah." Dong Yunshan gave her a quick kiss. "Now, do you want to lose to me, or do you want to beat me?"

"I... I think..." Yukino Yukinoshita lips parted slightly, but she couldn't think of an answer for a long time. In the end, she could only purse her lips and glare at her angrily, "This is different..."

"We have similarities," Dong Yunshan gently stroked her soft hair. "Actually, I'm just like you, worried about whether I can outperform you."

Chapter 617 A New Approach

"How else do you want to beat me?" Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to bite him, but her body was too lazy to move; she could only twist slightly to indicate that she had already protested.

"The reason I was able to behave so well when I met my father-in-law was because..." Dong Yunshan's hand lingered on her warm legs, "... that you were there with me at that time."

"But I didn't touch you like that..." Yukino Yukinoshita squeezed his hand between her legs, looked up at him reproachfully, a cute blush spreading across her fair cheeks, "And I didn't touch you for this long either."

"This is just my memory... so it's bound to be a little off."

Sensing his restless desire, Yukino Yukinoshita and held it in her palm. "Most of the time, I just hold your hand like this."

"That's what I wanted to say." Dong Yunshan gently kissed the back of her hand. "When I'm nervous, you doing this gives me enough energy to handle things smoothly. So I was thinking, when you're nervous, can I do it just as well as you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita murmured softly, "I don't feel like I did a very good job..."

"I didn't feel like I performed that well either." Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita. "It seems we've both been overestimating each other's performances?"

"So... I don't need to worry too much." Yukino Yukinoshita squeezed his hand. "Then... shall we go after we finish dealing with the branch?"

"I thought you were going to say we should leave now."

"Not now~" Yukino Yukinoshita buried her face in his chest and explained in a muffled voice, "We don't have anything in common to talk about right now. But once the Tokyo Branch opens, we'll have something to talk about with them."

"Then after Christmas?"

"The 26th of next month...?" Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "That's the date."

We can't delay any longer.

"Alright~ Now that you've made up your mind, let's not worry about it anymore." Dong Yunshan chuckled, "Let's think about something else."

"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita out a long sigh, getting up while tidying her messy long hair. "I'll revise the proposal again."

"Uh... aren't you going to rest?"

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and glared at her. "Haven't you rested enough?"

"No."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "Wait until I've finished revising it..."

"Shall I go and make you some tea?"

"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, then blushed and reminded Dong Yunshan as she got up from the Kotatsu, "Clothes!"

Dong Yunshan: "No wonder it was so cold..."

She glared at him irritably, Yukino Yukinoshita straightened her disheveled clothes and focused on revising the new plan.

The main focus is on differentiated competition by using the Fruit C Coffee proposed by Dong Yunshan.

Vitamin C...

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling how she had paid special attention to the composition of various vitamins in dishes when teaching Dong Yunshan how to cook.

A quick glance at other tea and coffee brands reveals a fresh perspective.

If we use that...

"It doesn't taste good." Saki Kawasaki stared at what Yukino Yukinoshita had brought. "That's the most crucial problem."

"As expected..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, "What if we add other fruit juices?"

"Why can't we just use other fruit juices?" Saki Kawasaki asked, puzzled. "Why do we have to use this vegetable?"

"This vegetable is..." Yui Yuigahama examined it carefully for a while, "Celery?"

"It's kale," Yukino Yukinoshita corrected. "Some varieties of kale become more vibrant in low temperatures. Because they are inexpensive, easy to care for, and have long-lasting color, they are widely used in park landscaping and urban greening—you should have seen them in parks."

Yui Yuigahama tilted her head. "You mean those flowers that grow on the ground?"

"Those are kale leaves," Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. "As for why we have to use these... it's mainly for health reasons."

"For health..." Saki Kawasaki thought of her younger siblings, "So we should eat more vegetables?"

"It's marketed as a health product," Komachi Hikigaya blinked, "Let's promote this drink?"

"That's right, among vegetables, kale is also an outstanding one," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "It has a large amount of vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health; vitamin A, which is excellent for vision, the immune system, and skin health; and vitamin C, which helps with immune function and collagen synthesis. Kale's vitamin C content even exceeds that of many citrus fruits. In addition, it contains minerals such as calcium, manganese, potassium, and magnesium; it is rich in flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, which help the body fight oxidative stress; and dietary fiber, which helps promote digestive health."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Komachi Hikigaya exclaimed, her eyes wide. "I feel like eating this every day would be enough!"

"The problem is I can't eat it." Saki Kawasaki broke off a piece and handed it to him, "Try it."

"Ugh..." Komachi Hikigaya took a bite, her face instantly turning pale. "It's so hard to chew... It seems a bit spicy... It's so bitter!"

"Is it really that exaggerated... Gurgle!" Yui Yuigahama tried it herself and realized that Komachi Hikigaya wasn't exaggerating at all. "It smells like... freshly mowed lawn. I feel like a poor cow—moo~"

They've given the child so much food that he's hallucinating.

Yukino Yukinoshita also picked a piece and put it in her mouth, chewing expressionlessly. "So it wasn't that easy after all..."

"I can try to fix it." Saki Kawasaki immediately got to work. "Apple... or grape? Add both to cover the bitterness, then lemon for acidity to balance the flavor... and mint to mask the grassy taste, plus a tea base... your kale jasmine tea."

Despite having many additives, the drink still retains a bright emerald green color.

"This color..." Yui Yuigahama stared at it for a while. "Isn't this aoboshi juice? My dad drinks this sometimes."

"I know." Komachi Hikigaya hands. "[893 is awful! Give me another 6460 cup!] Right?"

"Mmm!" Yui Yuigahama repeatedly. "But this... shouldn't taste that bad, right?"

"It tastes awful." Yukino Yukinoshita took a sip and gave a fair assessment. "You can still taste the kale."

Chapter 618 You're in Charge

It wasn't that easy after all...

Yukino Yukinoshita slightly lost in thought.

I had originally planned to give Dong Yunshan a surprise, but now it seems that was perhaps a bit too idealistic.
