Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Hmm... that..." Yui Yuigahama also took a sip, and it really didn't taste good. "It should... be able to be improved."

"The existing one might be a little lacking." Saki Kawasaki frowned after tasting it. "If you replace the grapes with green grapes and remove the mint, it will be somewhat improved."

"To a certain extent...?" Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "I think I'll think about it some more."

"Didn't you ask Yunshan what he thought?" Komachi Hikigaya curiously. "What did he say?"

"I wanted to surprise him when everything was almost ready." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "But now it seems... that idea isn't very feasible."

Although it's a little hard to give up like this, but...

"It's all settled." Dong Yunshan opened the door to the activity room. "Iroha Isshiki has been successfully elected as the new Student Council."

The Student Council elections, which were significantly delayed compared to previous years, have finally officially begun.

According to the vote count, Iroha Isshiki successfully passed the vote of confidence.

It was from this time that the new Student Council began to operate.

However, most students didn't care about this.

The Student Council at Sobu High School is so insignificant.

The Student Council was quite busy on the first day of work, and Dong Yunshan went to help out, only returning now.

"Senior Xun had a lot of personal belongings to take with her, so I helped her move them." Dong Yunshan closed the door behind her, noticing the expressions on everyone's faces in the activity room. "Hmm? What's wrong...? Not very happy?"

"N-no~" Yui Yuigahama blinked, "Iroha really became the Student Council! I have to congratulate her!"

Dong Yunshan turned her suspicious gaze to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I was planning to develop a kale beverage with a health theme," Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head slightly, "But now it seems I was being too naive."

"Kale..." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow, "The kind used for landscaping?"

"...Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita avoided his gaze.

That does sound rather unbelievable.

Even Dong Yunshan, with her open-minded approach, felt this idea was...

"It really is true." Dong Yunshan said in disbelief, "How did you come up with this?"

"I remembered what you said about Vitamin C, so I was thinking that if we used more nutritious vegetables, maybe we could achieve the same effect." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan with a mixture of surprise and trepidation. "And then I realized that other beverage brands don't have related products, so..."

She hoped that Dong Yunshan would support her.

But I don't want Dong Yunshan to support her personal ideas just to encourage her.

"Is this the one?" Dong Yunshan walked closer, picked up the drink, and took a big gulp. "Hmm~ the sourness of lemon, the coolness of mint, the astringency of kale, the tea aroma is completely suppressed, the bitterness of kale plus the fiber, it's a bit like drinking sand... Saliva secretion, increased gastric motility, taste bud numbness... I guess I shouldn't have used mint?"

"That's what I was thinking too," Saki Kawasaki nodded. "How about using perfume lemon instead?"

"Hmm, it ensures the scent is right, but it's not too cold." Dong Yunshan was puzzled. "So... with such a great idea, why are you unhappy?"

"This idea..." Yukino Yukinoshita stared into his eyes, not wanting to see even a hint of reluctance, yet not wanting to miss even a fleeting moment of it, "Is still immature. No matter how much the flavor is improved, it can never compare to the original drink."

"But it's healthier than any other drink available," Dong Yunshan recalled. "I remember it had a lot of vitamins and minerals, and oh yes, dietary fiber."

"Compared to health, green juice is healthier," Yukino Yukinoshita cautioned. "As a vegetable supplement, green juice initially used kale, but later switched to barley grass, which is the young shoots of barley. With green juice preceding it, kale, as an outdated ingredient, is unlikely to regain its popularity..."

"Green juice..." Dong Yunshan really remembered it.

Simply put, it involves drying and grinding the leaves of barley seedlings into a fine powder, then mixing it with water to make a drink. This is suitable for busy people who don't have time to eat a lot of vegetables, as it provides a convenient and quick way to supplement the vegetable nutrients that are often lacking in their daily diet.

"If that's the case, bottled tea and the tea sold in stores are the same," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Cloud Snow Tea has still created a sensation."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean... the difference between freshly made and the taste?"

"For health-conscious individuals, freshly made, high-quality ingredients offer greater peace of mind. Plus, the controllability of sugar and sweetness... well, of course, there's also the element of ritual, the personalized feel, and the instant gratification," Dong Yunshan emphasized. "This fruit and vegetable tea isn't entirely opposed to barley juice; it's more like a buffer between unpalatable but healthy barley juice and delicious but unhealthy beverages. The slightly less appealing taste actually gives a stronger sense of health. This satisfaction with health can offset some of the less desirable flavors."

Yukino Yukinoshita stared into Dong Yunshan's eyes, her gaze devoid of any reluctance or perfunctoriness. In fact... Dong Yunshan seemed even more convinced than she was that the kale drink would be a success. "Yunshan, are you really willing to support my idea?"

"Perhaps I said too much before." Dong Yunshan raised his hand and gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate nose. "Now, you're the one in charge of the Tokyo Branch."

"Well..." Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, "I hope to make preparations in advance using Cloud Flash Delivery's cold chain transportation."

"No problem." Dong Yunshan took out his phone. "I can also help contact the relevant suppliers and try to sign long-term contracts at the current prices."

Are they aiming straight for a long-term contract...? Yukino Yukinoshita truly realized Dong Yunshan's confidence. "Saki Kawasaki, please further refine the flavor. Let me know if you have any needs."

"No problem," Saki Kawasaki pressed, "I'd like to try other combinations."

"The more the better, but don't rush, one kind is enough for now." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Komachi Hikigaya. "Komachi, could you help design the pattern on the cup? It should highlight the nutritional elements of the fruits and vegetables as much as possible."

Komachi Hikigaya immediately replied, "No problem, leave it to Komachi."

"Yui Yuigahama." Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze shifted, "The official account needs some pre-event hype to pique everyone's curiosity."

"Understood!" Yui Yuigahama vigorously. "Hint, but say nothing."

"And the rest..." Yukino Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes gleamed, "Leave it to me."

Chapter 619 Even Separated, They Still Show Off

"Senior Yunshan ~" The cute girl pushed open the door to the activity room, her short, flaxen hair swaying. She lightly pressed the cuff of her overly long cardigan against the corner of her eye, which was devoid of tears, and walked in pitifully. "Oh no, oh no, oh no~"

In the activity room, everyone was busy with their own things, but upon hearing this, they all looked at Dong Yunshan.

"If it concerns me," Dong Yunshan pointed to his face, "I'm already smiling."

Everyone had witnessed Dong Yunshan's gloating nature and nodded in agreement.

That's what word-of-mouth is.

"Well, anyway..." Yui Yuigahama, "Let's sit down first."

"Ah, thank you, Yui Yuigahama- senpai." Iroha Isshiki lowered her sleeves and sat down casually.

"So," Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, "Is there a problem?"

"Is that so?" Iroha Isshiki said dejectedly, "Last week, our Student Council started its first task."

"Wow, so fast!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed. "It's started already?"

"Yeah, it's super troublesome..." Iroha Isshiki muttered, "Because Christmas is coming soon."

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Christmas -themed event?"

"Hmm." Iroha Isshiki made a face. "We need to team up with the nearby high schools to hold Christmas events for the neighborhood, targeting both older people and children."

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment, "Seaside Comprehensive High School?"

"Huh?" Iroha Isshiki looked over in surprise. "How did Yukino- senpai know?"

"It needs to be jointly run with Sobu High School, not too far away, of a high standard, and also a college entrance exam-oriented high school," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "There are very few schools that meet these criteria, and the most likely school to cooperate with the well-established Sobu High School is the newly established Seaside Comprehensive High School, formed by merging three schools—they want to increase their visibility and attract students before the college entrance exams."

"Seaside Comprehensive High School ..." Saki Kawasaki recalled for a moment, "Taishi Kawasaki also considered it. It's said to have a larger campus, more luxurious facilities, and more beautiful school buildings. There are even elevators in the buildings, and attendance is taken directly using ID cards—but I still feel that Sobu High School is more reliable."

"Mmm." Komachi Hikigaya nodded. "My brother thinks so too."

"That's why they want to cooperate with us..." Yui Yuigahama realized, "The alliance was proposed by them?"

"Yeah, I'm already so busy myself, how could I possibly propose something like this?" Iroha Isshiki, abandoning all pretense of maintaining her cute image, complained angrily, "Usually, when I hear a suggestion like this, I'd just refuse first, right? Besides, I already have events planned for Christmas ~"

Komachi Hikigaya: "You're refusing without even considering it..."

Yui Yuigahama: "And it's for personal reasons..."

"But..." Iroha Isshiki slumped her shoulders weakly, "Teacher Hiratsuka wants us to participate."

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "It's her again."

"Then we started planning this event, but, how should I put it~" Iroha Isshiki carefully and dejectedly chose her words, "It seems like we can't get everyone together... I was going to ask Senpai Jun, but she's preparing for her entrance exams, and bothering her at a time like this..."

So we had no choice but to seek help from the Service Club.

The problem is that everyone in the Service Club is also very busy right now.

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "I don't have the time right now..."

"Ah..." Iroha Isshiki showed a pitiful expression.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked to her side. "Brother Shan?"

"Leave it to me." Dong Yunshan stood up. "Since you've already made your effort, I'll lend a hand too."

"Ah!" Iroha Isshiki's eyes instantly lit up. "Great! There's a meeting today. Let's go together!"

"Yukino..." Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a long time before finally asking Yukino Yukinoshita, "Between you two... um, I mean... well..."

Yui Yuigahama looked towards Komachi Hikigaya for help.

Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "Like they can't wait to split up?"

"To be precise, it's about finding a suitable reason to separate for a while." Yukino Yukinoshita casually saved the file. "We've both noticed this issue."

"I thought it was just my imagination..." Yui Yuigahama, her eyes filled with confusion. "But why? Didn't you two get along really well?"

"I... am too dependent on him, and he spoils me too much." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "This won't be good for either of us, so it would be better to separate for a while."

Komachi Hikigaya blinked. "Another breakup?"

"They're just handling different things." Yukino Yukinoshita paused. "There haven't been any requests before, so I have no reason to ask him to do anything else, and he has no reason to do anything else either."

"Oh~" Komachi Hikigaya nodded. "I understand."

Yui Yuigahama nodded in agreement, "I'm confused."

"Yunshan has successful experience, so he naturally feels it's his responsibility to help Yukino," Komachi Hikigaya analyzed meticulously. "But Yukino's previous idea about Kale made him realize that excessive help would stifle Yukino's creativity."

At this point, Yui Yuigahama also realized, "But if we just stop helping, it feels like we're unwilling to help or we're tired, so Iroha's request is a very good reason."

"I'm not content to just be helped; I also want to help him." Yukino Yukinoshita confronts her own feelings. "I appreciate the efficient and comfortable help he provides, so I want to give him the same kind of help... For that, I need to put in my own effort."

"But simply pushing Yunshan away would give him the illusion that he's not needed," Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized. "So having him help complete the request maintains your need for him while allowing you to better realize your own potential."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently.

"You two seem relieved. Could it be that you both understand each other's thoughts?" Yui Yuigahama muttered softly. "If you understand each other to this extent, why go through all this trouble to avoid even the slightest misunderstanding?"

"I don't want any misunderstanding between us, not even for a second, even if it could be cleared up immediately." Komachi Hikigaya chuckled. "That's what love is, isn't it? A single glance is enough to communicate."

"In short..." Saki Kawasaki looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, "You two showed off your love by separating?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked away. "... Hmm."

Chapter 620 Extreme Path Identity

The meeting was held at the Sobu Community Center, which is the local multi-purpose facility.

The first floor houses a library and a small auditorium, while the second floor contains a multi-functional hall for holding meetings and lectures.

The third floor is the main auditorium, where Christmas activities are held.

"Ah..." As they approached the community center, Iroha Isshiki pointed to a convenience store nearby. "Senior Yunshan, wait for me a minute, I need to buy something."

"What is it?"

"Drinks and snacks," said Iroha Isshiki. "The other side has prepared, we can't fall behind!"

Tea and fruit are quite necessary during meetings. Dong Yunshan nodded in understanding. "You can buy the snacks you want. As for drinks, just tell me the number of people, and I'll order them directly from Cloud Snow Tea and have them delivered."

"But Cloud Snow Tea is too expensive, and the Student Council's budget..."

"It's free," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "It just needs to cover the promotional expenses for Cloud Snow Tea."

Is it still possible to do this?

"That's how it was at previous Cultural Festival."

"So..." Iroha Isshiki lowered her voice, "Is Senior Yunshan's family really that rich?"

Dong Yunshan: "Hmm?"

"Everyone's saying your family is very rich, but you're just very low-key." Iroha Isshiki said as if afraid of being overheard, "Because you're dating Yukino- senpai, your family was worried that Yukinoshita Family would object, so they opened Cloud Snow Tea to support you. All those people queuing up every day are hired by your family."

"Actually..." Dong Yunshan said mysteriously, "My true identity is a powerful and wealthy young master. I've been keeping a low profile these past few years because things have been so tense. The customers in the shop aren't hired; they're coerced into coming here for money laundering."

"You're lying even though you don't want to explain~" Iroha Isshiki didn't believe her after hearing just the beginning. "I'm going to buy snacks."

The snacks eaten at the meeting were also carefully chosen.

The basic requirements are that it is odorless, does not get your hands dirty, and is easy to use.

Furthermore, it boosts brainpower, is low in sugar and healthy, easy to prepare, convenient to clean, and quiet and aesthetically pleasing.
