Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Really?
"Alright then." Dong Yunshan reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita lips parted slightly, then pressed them tightly together again. She took a kitchen paper to wipe the water off her hands, glared fiercely at Dong Yunshan, turned and left the kitchen, walking into the living room.
Dong Yunshan also took a piece of kitchen paper to wipe the marks on her fingertips, following behind Yukino Yukinoshita.
"This is it." Yukino Yukinoshita sat down on the sofa, opened her schoolbag, and took out Komachi Hikigaya's design sketches. "Komachi designed a few patterns, but considering that the cups currently in use cannot accurately represent the specific effect, I'm thinking of changing the cup design."
Dong Yunshan sat down next to Yukino Yukinoshita and flipped through Komachi Hikigaya's design drawings. "This cup... is it the same width from top to bottom?"
"There's a recessed section in the middle for easier grip," Yukino Yukinoshita gestured with her hand. "Overall, it's a bit shorter than the original design."
"In that case, the feel of the cup won't be as good as the original one."
"But compared to before..." Yukino Yukinoshita abruptly halfway through her sentence.
"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan turned her head and looked at her in confusion.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Dong Yunshan turned around to face Yukino Yukinoshita: "Confess honestly."
"I was thinking about how to say it..." Yukino Yukinoshita leaned back, "It's not that I wanted you to... interrogate me..."
Dong Yunshan grasped her slender waist. "It's precisely because you don't want to that I want to..."
"Cylindrical cups help with the presentation of image designs and minimize distortion." Feeling the warmth of Dong Yunshan's palm, Yukino Yukinoshita quickened her pace, "And... shorter cups are more stable and look better in photos."
"A short, stout cup can make your face look smaller." Dong Yunshan understood the implication. "There's a large overlap between people who want a smaller face and people who want to drink healthy beverages. I see, isn't that great?"
"But there's no time." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed down on Dong Yunshan's hand. "From design and prototyping to production and shipping, we might not be able to make it in time..."
Chapter 625 Apron Uniform
"Indeed." Dong Yunshan did a quick calculation. "If it's custom-made, the timeframe is indeed too tight, but..."
He paused, then didn't continue.
"But what?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan in confusion, then immediately realized something.
With a gentle push, Dong Yunshan slumped weakly onto the sofa.
"I really can't do anything with you..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, reached out and pulled Dong Yunshan's legs together, then skillfully sat on them. "It seems you won't confess unless I use some tricks—tell me, is there any way to shorten the production cycle of custom cups?"
Dong Yunshan's gaze was resolute. "I won't give in so easily!"
A warm kiss landed on his neck, and Dong Yunshan's voice involuntarily took a turn.
"Will you talk or not?" Yukino Yukinoshita leaned gently against Dong Yunshan's chest, her voice carrying a cute threat. "Don't force me to use even more drastic methods."
Dong Yunshan's gaze instantly hardened. "You're delusional. I will definitely hold out until the most powerful means... no, no means at all, make me submit."
"Is that so?" Yukino Yukinoshita, holding onto Dong Yunshan's shoulders, sat up straight. "Never mind then."
"Wait... I suddenly remembered something." Dong Yunshan hugged her. "I have a friend who owns a factory and happens to have this kind of business. I'll contact him later and we can shorten the time to a week."
"A week...?" Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment. "That should be enough."
Dong Yunshan tightened her grip. "I feel it's not enough..."
"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed his expectant look. "I still need to cook..."
"I want to eat now." Dong Yunshan's hand grabbed the drawstring of Yukino Yukinoshita's apron at the back of her waist.
They had just started to exert force when they suddenly stopped.
"Wife..."
"No way!" Yukino Yukinoshita's face flushed red. "Don't even think about it!"
"I haven't said anything yet..."
"I know even if you don't say it." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip slightly, then let go after a while. "... Terrible."
"Alright then," Dong Yunshan chuckled, "That's not bad either."
"What does 'this' mean..." Before the question could be finished, Yukino Yukinoshita already knew the answer.
The apron covering her body concealed the dishevelment of her school uniform.
The swaying hem of the pleated skirt concealed their intimate contact.
Yukino Yukinoshita tightly wrapped her slender arms around Dong Yunshan's neck, her long, smooth hair tied in a low ponytail swaying happily.
He still succeeded.
In the kitchen, Yukino Yukinoshita's rosy cheeks puffed out slightly, her large, watery blue eyes glaring at the unblinking Dong Yunshan: "Haven't you seen enough yet?"
"I'm working on it." Dong Yunshan's gaze grew increasingly audacious.
The combination of an apron and a school uniform is truly captivating.
But even without the school uniform, her charm remains undiminished.
Aprons are really... amazing.
The front was so well covered, but the back was completely unprotected.
Dong Yunshan couldn't help but reach out her hand...
Then he was captured by Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Cook," Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly. "The rice has been cooked for ages."
"I was just about to help," Dong Yunshan coughed lightly and obediently withdrew her hand.
Having prepared dinner, Yukino Yukinoshita finally took off her apron and put on loose-fitting loungewear.
After finishing their meal and tidying up briefly, the two of them settled into the warm kotatsu (heated Kotatsu).
"So..." Yukino Yukinoshita ate the orange segment that Dong Yunshan fed her, "Teacher Hiratsuka had Iroha participate in this event because she wanted to resolve the Student Council's current problems as soon as possible?"
"After all, this event doesn't offer much benefit to Sobu High School." Dong Yunshan sorted out his thoughts. "An event initiated by Seaside Comprehensive High School is essentially using Sobu High School to increase its visibility. It doesn't really help Sobu High School much. Whether it's done well or poorly, it's fine. It's perfect for Iroha to practice on."
"They're good at superficial things, Iroha is good at superficial interactions... Teacher Hiratsuka wants Iroha to step out of her comfort zone." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "To resolve this request, we need to get Iroha to change."
"Therefore, I cannot directly resolve the issues raised at the meeting." Dong Yunshan nodded. "She should be the one to change the current situation."
"The good news is that she's realized the problem; all we need to do is teach her the appropriate methods." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "What do you plan to do?"
"How about we let her pretend to be stupid?"
"Playing dumb?" Yukino Yukinoshita murmured, "Should we stop supporting her and start sabotaging her?"
"That's right." Dong Yunshan's lips curled up. "Playing the role of a junior student with a strong thirst for knowledge shouldn't be a problem for her, right?"

"There's a problem with the transit skirt!" Iroha Isshiki stared at Dong Yunshan. "I don't know anything about acting, what are you talking about, senpai?"
"That's exactly what I'm talking about." Dong Yunshan snapped his fingers. "That's the feeling I'm going for."
Iroha Isshiki tilted her head in confusion. "According to what you said yesterday... were you just trying to fool me?"
"No... yes."
Iroha Isshiki: "Huh?"
"I'm not kidding you, but you're in the right state of mind." Dong Yunshan said, carrying a shopping bag of snacks. "After yesterday's meeting, you summarized the meeting minutes, right?"
"... Hmm." Iroha Isshiki felt exhausted just thinking about it.
"How was the summary?"
"I feel... there's nothing to summarize." Iroha Isshiki sighed deeply. "I couldn't understand a word they were saying."
"If you don't understand, ask questions. That's what curiosity is all about," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "You should use your curiosity to ask questions whenever you don't understand."
"Huh?" Iroha Isshiki looked troubled. "But wouldn't that make me look stupid?"
"After all, you're a first-year student, so it's normal that you don't understand." Dong Yunshan's smile faded. "But as the Student Council, if you don't ask, the other Student Council members can't ask either."
"But..." Iroha Isshiki still hesitated.
"If you don't ask, they don't ask either, and in the end, no one speaks at the meeting, and afterwards you have to continue working like yesterday." The key point is the name of the Dong Yunshan store. "Do you... want things to continue like this, with others talking and you doing the work?"
"Of course not!" Iroha Isshiki said huffed. "I'm worried that the atmosphere will become a little awkward."
"What's embarrassing about asking if you don't understand?" Dong Yunshan sneered. "Pretending to know what you don't and getting stumped by someone's question, that's what's truly embarrassing."
Chapter 626 Unbearable
"Alright, let's begin the meeting. Please feel free to offer your guidance." Tamanawa opened her laptop to review the meeting minutes she had compiled yesterday, typing away on the keyboard. She rubbed her temples wearily. "Hmm... there's still a small part that hasn't been finalized, so let's continue yesterday's brainstorming session."
"This is a rare opportunity," a student from Seaside Comprehensive High School immediately suggested. "Why don't we make the event bigger?"
"Indeed!" A female student leaned forward in agreement. "Of course, the bigger the event, the better!"
"...Indeed." Tamanawa stared thoughtfully at the computer screen. "Based on the current results, it is a bit too small."
Tamanawa turned to look at Iroha Isshiki: "We're planning to expand the scale a bit, what do you think?"
"Hmm..." Iroha Isshiki smiled brightly, speechless.
Dong Yunshan heard the sigh of the vice president Kimaki Makito, and subtly nudged Iroha Isshiki.
"Ah, expanding the scale is a good thing." Iroha Isshiki paused for a moment, then her gaze shifted. "But how large is the current scale? It seems that only the date, location, purpose, and target audience were confirmed yesterday."
The event was held on Christmas Eve in the community center's auditorium, with the aim of promoting local interaction, and the participants were nearby kindergartens and nursing homes.
"The current scale is what we are all at now," Tamanawa replied matter-of-factly. "Expanding the scale means getting more people involved."
"I see..." Iroha Isshiki felt like the other person had said something, but also seemed to have said nothing at all, and looked to Dong Yunshan for help.
Dong Yunshan gave him a wink.
Following his gaze, Iroha Isshiki noticed the vice president's furrowed brows and immediately understood. "Kimaki, what are your thoughts?"
Kimaki Makito looked at Iroha Isshiki in surprise, then coughed lightly. "Given the current situation, expanding the scale further would be severely hampered by a lack of time and manpower, so I think we should prioritize ensuring the success of the current activities."
Dong Yunshan nodded in satisfaction. In this way...
"NO~NO~NO~ That kind of thinking won't do." Tamanawa shook her hands exaggeratedly. "When we're brainstorming, we don't reject each other's opinions. If we're limited by time and manpower and can't expand the scale of the activity, we should discuss how to overcome the difficulty, rather than immediately coming to a conclusion."
He flashed a cheerful, easygoing smile, "Let's all think together about how to make the plan feasible!"
The Kimaki Makito's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
Iroha Isshiki lowered her head helplessly.
Students from the Seaside Comprehensive High School actively participated in the discussion:
"How about involving local groups as well?"
"Indeed, it sounds like it would be very interesting."
"Find more high schools?"
"Indeed, it looks like it's going to be very lively."
"To bridge the generation gap, should we find two more universities?"
"Indeed~ It feels like it will look very mature~"
"But..." Iroha Isshiki asked thoughtfully, "If local clubs and universities participate, won't the event organizers change as well?"
"That makes sense. Then..." Tamanawa nodded, "How about we find a nearby elementary school? Hmm, this is exactly what they call 'game in education,' right?"
The girls from the Seaside Comprehensive High School immediately chimed in, "Indeed~ Winwin!"
Iroha Isshiki's smile froze.
"We'll handle the appointments and negotiations with the elementary school," Tamanawa nodded in satisfaction and began issuing instructions. "After that, we hope you, Sobu High School, will take over."
Under his gaze, Iroha Isshiki forced a smile, "... Okay."
The vice president Kimaki Makito, sighed again.
"Wait a minute," Dong Yunshan tapped the table lightly, "Do you have any experience working with elementary school students?"
Tamanawa paused for a moment, then smiled, "Experience in this area needs to be accumulated; there's a first time for everything..."
"We have them. Leave this to us." Dong Yunshan's voice was cold. "The problem is... how many elementary school students are needed? How many people can the auditorium hold? How many people from kindergartens and nursing homes are participating, and how many accompanying staff are needed?"
"Ah--this requires further investigation. Let's discuss it..."
"In other words, I don't know." Dong Yunshan interrupted mercilessly, "Then how can you be sure that anyone will participate?"
