Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"I don't know..."

"Why don't we go ask them?"

Who will go?

"Rock, paper, rock" to decide.

"Okay, best two out of three?"

It takes quite a bit of courage for elementary school students to strike up a conversation with high school students.

As the elementary school students' discussion grew louder, Rumi Tsurumi suddenly spoke up, "I'll go."

The other students exchanged glances, and a few responded weakly, "Ah, um..." "Okay then..." "Thank you."

Rumi Tsurumi walked straight over, tilted her small face up, and asked Dong Yunshan, "What are we going to do?"

"I'm here to help." Dong Yunshan stepped slightly to the side and raised her hand to introduce, "This is the Student Council of Sobu High School, in charge of this event."

Rumi Tsurumi turned to look at her. "Hello."

"Hello~" Iroha Isshiki smile. "Today's activity is making Christmas decorations. I took a lot of Christmas-themed photos beforehand, so you can refer to them. If there's anything you'd like to make, feel free to tell us, and we'll help you prepare the materials you need."

Seeing Rumi Tsurumi nod slightly, Iroha Isshiki then looked at Yu Shu: "President Yu Shu, could you please arrange for someone to record what needs to be purchased and help with the procurement?"

"Okay..." Yu Shu answered subconsciously, then suddenly stopped, staring at Iroha Isshiki with a complicated look in his eyes, and responded in a voice that sounded like a sigh, "Okay."

Iroha Isshiki showed the children photos taken at Disneyland, which immediately captured their attention. They were all eager to try and replicate the various decorations from the dreamland.

They recorded the needs of the elementary school students, purchased the necessary materials and tools, left a few people to look after the children, and the rest began a meeting to discuss the situation.

Although we found suitable activities for the elementary school students today, we can't just focus on decorations. We still need to combine the specific activities with appropriate tasks for the students to participate in.

"I won't participate." Dong Yunshan did not follow Iroha Isshiki to the conference room.

"Huh?" Iroha Isshiki looked surprised. "Aren't you in the meeting?"

"You don't need me anymore, right? I trust you can handle it." Dong Yunshan pointed to the busy elementary school students. "I'll help take care of them."

"I thought you had other things to do and needed to leave." Iroha Isshiki wrinkled her nose. "And after that... you didn't come to meetings anymore?"

"We'll talk about the rest later. At least this time, I feel you can face it alone." Dong Yunshan realized Iroha Isshiki's worries. "Don't worry, the requests will continue until the event ends."

"Thank you, senpai~" Iroha Isshiki smiled happily, "Then I'll go in."

Watching Iroha Isshiki enter the meeting room, Dong Yunshan turned to the elementary school students. "The materials and tools are all here. Everyone has many things they want to make, but we have limited time today, so making just one will be considered a success—does everyone have confidence?"

"Yes--!" the elementary school students answered in unison, showing their respect.

To avoid leaving anyone behind, Dong Yunshan deliberately didn't mention the group assignments.

Even so, the elementary school students still divided into groups and got busy on their own.

High school students who were not attending the meeting moved between groups, instructing them on safety and helping them solve problems they encountered.

After observing for a moment, Dong Yunshan approached Tsurumi Rumi, who was alone Rumi Tsurumi, "Do you need any help?"

Rumi Tsurumi folding paper without pause, and Linglongxsq852 replied in a cool voice, "I can do it myself."

"That's great." Dong Yunshan sat down next to her. "Then I can pretend to help you and then do nothing."

Rumi Tsurumi paused in her actions, looked up and glared at him. "... Terrible."

Her expression bore a striking resemblance to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Dong Yunshan casually picked up a piece of colored paper and skillfully folded it. "How are things getting along with your classmates?"

"Not only are you slacking off here," Rumi Tsurumi sighed helplessly, "But you're also interfering with me..."

"I've got nothing better to do," Dong Yunshan smiled. "Besides, I'm also quite curious whether the previous actions actually provided any real help."

Rumi Tsurumi's voice was calm. "Would you feel more at ease if I told you yes?"

"I'm not worried if you say no." Dong Yunshan pressed the paper into a crease and then unfolded it. "As long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems. There's only one problem, but many solutions. If one doesn't work, try the next one."

8. "... After that incident, the relationships in the class improved for a while, but only for a short time." Rumi Tsurumi cut the folded paper along the pre-drawn lines. "However, the teacher noticed the situation in the class and spoke with each student one by one..."

9. "Is it effective?"

3. "After all, nobody wants to be called in by the teacher, so nobody dares to make it too obvious." Rumi Tsurumi's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "I didn't mind either."

9 Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Why don't you care?"

6. "Thinking about the camping trip before, I feel a bit bored."

4. "Eh?"

4. "The terrifying crisis was just a story made up by a few high school students. The embarrassing situation was just the idle nonsense of elementary school students." Rumi Tsurumi put down her scissors and cut the folded paper open. "The fact that it looks torn... is only because you only saw part of it."

6. When the shredded paper is unfolded, it reveals a beautiful snowflake pattern.

If Lin only focuses on the pile of pieces, the situation is obviously very bad.

But if you can take everything in at a glance, you'll find that everything is fine.

The key is to know what you want and understand what you are doing.

"That's a really good cut..." Dong Yunshan tilted her head. "That's very profound."

"It's very simple." Rumi Tsurumi gave him a disgruntled look. "Besides... you understood it too."

"Doing simple work well is also impressive," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Just because a profound principle isn't something you can't understand doesn't mean you can't understand it."

Rumi Tsurumi puffed out her cheeks slightly and picked up a piece of shikishi (a type of colored paper) to continue making her work.

"After hearing what you said, I wanted to say something," Dong Yunshan blinked, "But as soon as I opened my mouth, I remembered that I never wanted to hear these things when I was a child, so I was too embarrassed to say anything."

Rumi Tsurumi turned her head and looked over. "What is it?"

"Uh... that's all." Dong Yunshan's eyes were filled with melancholy. "You're still young now. When you grow up, you probably won't even remember any of this. Instead of wasting your time and energy on these things, you should study hard and strive for a better future for yourself—that's pretty much the kind of correct but useless advice."

Rumi Tsurumi wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to agree, but I can't argue with it—that's how adults are."

"Yes, because adults have grown up. Things that were serious when we were young become less important when we grow up," Dong Yunshan murmured. "But in reality, whether it's a small thing when we were young or a big thing when we are young, the emotions they evoke are the same, and they might even be stronger when we were young."

Rumi Tsurumi muttered softly, "What you said is truly profound."

Dong Yunshan smiled sheepishly, "Sorry~"

"Where's your girlfriend?" Rumi Tsurumi looked around. "Why isn't she with you?"

"We're both busy with different things, and we're not together every day..." Dong Yunshan paused, "We are together every day, but not every moment."

"What do you do when you're together?"

"Uh..." Dong Yunshan avoided the girl's innocent gaze, "Eating together, chatting together, watching movies, working out, handling work... and things like that."

"Can't one person do it too?" Rumi Tsurumi, puzzled. "What's the difference between two people?"

"Well... how should I put it?" Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "It's not limited to romantic relationships, friendships, or teacher-student relationships. They're all similar. The presence of another person allows you to experience the same things from another perspective."

"Another angle?"

"Like when I went to kindergarten, there were crayon drawings by the children on the walls. When I saw those drawings, I felt the children's innocence and purity." Dong Yunshan paused, "You understand what I mean?"

"Yes." Rumi Tsurumi nodded gently. "This is your angle."

"Then a friend of mine's younger sister happened to be in that kindergarten, and she pointed out the drawing she had made to me." Dong Yunshan's lips curled up. "Then I saw a different side of my friend in the same drawing, saw the deep affection between her and her sister, and saw the care the sister had put into the drawing."

"With a relationship with your sister, you can see more things from a different perspective." Rumi Tsurumi's eyelids lowered slightly. "Is this what it feels like to have friends?"

"It's not that you need connections to see them. If I observe carefully, I can see them too. If I'm not interested, even if my sister points them out, I probably won't look closely." Dong Yunshan shook her head. "The key isn't whether you have friends, but yourself."

"Myself..." Rumi Tsurumi puffed out slightly, "It's too profound."

Dong Yunshan: "... Study hard."

Rumi Tsurumi glared at him, then lowered her head and continued cutting paper.

A moment later, a neatly folded paper crane was handed to her.

"Hmm?" Rumi Tsurumi looked up in confusion at Dong Yunshan, who was holding a paper crane.

Dong Yunshan: "This is for you."

"Thank you." Rumi Tsurumi took the paper crane and thanked him softly.

"Hmm... it's not completely finished yet," Dong Yunshan reminded him. "We still need to blow a breath to make the paper crane's belly puff up."

"Blow air?"

"There's a small opening here," Dong Yunshan pointed out to her, "Blow out a puff."

Rumi Tsurumi parted her lips slightly, gently blew in the direction Dong Yunshan was pointing, and the paper crane's belly swelled up.

"Hmm." Dong Yunshan nodded in satisfaction. "That's it, the paper crane we made together is finished."

Rumi Tsurumi, pinching the paper crane's tail, said, "I just blew on it..."

"Even a single breath counts as part of our collaboration," Dong Yunshan said with a gentle smile. "This is an important start; next time, you can try blowing two breaths."

"In that case..." Rumi Tsurumi's eyes flickered slightly, "It'll be harder to hide."

"Then pinch your stomach a little," Dong Yunshan reminded him, "To squeeze out the gas."

Rumi Tsurumi stared at Dong Yunshan: "You just said this was an important beginning."

"But you can end it anytime if you feel uncomfortable." Dong Yunshan blinked. "Ending it is also important."

Rumi Tsurumi hesitated for a moment, then carefully flattened the belly of the origami crane.

Dong Yunshan suggested, "Let's try blowing it again."

Rumi Tsurumi's pink cheeks puffed out slightly as she blew up the belly of the origami crane once again.

Dong Yunshan nodded gently. "Now you have a new beginning."

Rumi Tsurumi said thoughtfully, "I understand."

Dong Yunshan's smile held encouragement and expectation, "What do you understand?"

Rumi Tsurumi: "You adults just love to seize every opportunity to discipline children."

Dong Yunshan: "... Indeed."

"Orchestral performances, orchestras, jazz concerts, choirs, dance, drama, gospel music, musicals, reading plays..." Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita were busy in the kitchen, making dinner and chatting. "I thought today's meeting would go smoothly, so I didn't attend. But when it came to discussing the specific activities, a bunch of people came up with a bunch of ideas, and in the end, we still couldn't decide on anything."

"Although I'm aware of the importance of saying no..." Yukino Yukinoshita put the chopped vegetables into a plate and handed it to Dong Yunshan, "It's not easy for Iroha to refuse all of these offers that I need to decline."

"After all, there are more students at the Seaside Comprehensive High School, and we'll need their assistance with the follow-up work." Dong Yunshan pointed out the key point. "While playing the good cop/bad cop is effective, using it too often can also provoke a lot of resistance."

Yukino Yukinoshita and asked, "So, you want to attend tomorrow's meeting and see if you can come up with any solutions?"

"I was thinking of discussing the branch store with you tomorrow..." Dong Yunshan met Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze, "How's it going?"

"All the formalities have been completed. As for the supply chain, with Cloud Flash Delivery, there's not much to worry about. The renovations are also fine, but we'll have to wait and see how it goes after the opening." Yukino Yukinoshita flipped the grilled fish. "As for the team, Kana has trained them very well, and the previous trial operation stress test has been completed. The opening event is Christmas cup sleeves, the ones I showed you before."

"It's so cute!" Dong Yunshan recalled that Christmas outfit, the little cloud holding snowflakes, "Aren't you really considering using Little Cloud Snow as the mascot for Cloud Snow Tea?"

"You mentioned this before," Yukino Yukinoshita, her cheeks puffing out slightly. "We'll wait for market feedback before making a decision."

Dong Yunshan murmured, "Market feedback..."

"It's real," Yukino Yukinoshita added.

"Okay, okay~" Dong Yunshan readily agreed, "But I really feel there's no need to wait, it will definitely be popular."

"There's too much personal bias involved..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, which were involuntarily curving upwards. "Besides, this is a Christmas limited edition. If it's really going to be used as a mascot, it will need to be modified accordingly."

"Then my personal preference is a little less." Dong Yunshan coughed twice. "The design for Little Cloud Snow doesn't have the feeling I'm looking for, that feeling of Little Cloud Snow."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... What kind of feeling do you want?"

"You're the designer, and you're asking me? If I could design it myself, would I need you?" Dong Yunshan retorted defiantly. "Do you think you can't draw it just because I can't tell you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes were icy. "Otherwise what?"

"Eh~" Dong Yunshan sighed affectedly, "Never mind, let's go back to the first version."

"My feelings have shifted to the other side." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly and reached out to touch his waist.

After playing around and having some fun, dinner was finally ready.

Yukino Yukinoshita and methodically, and then began to supervise Dong Yunshan as he ate slowly and deliberately.

"Oh, right." Dong Yunshan swallowed the food in her mouth, "Among those elementary school students who came, some Rumi."
