Yukinoshita's Correction Method

The unfinished words were abruptly cut short by Yukino Yukinoshita's kiss. Dong Yunshan closed his eyes, savoring the tenderness in her disordered breathing.

Nestled against the chest of the Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita experienced the difference between a sofa and a bed.

The bed is a bit more spacious.

The two can hug each other, or they can lie on opposite sides.

However, the sofa has a limited width.

There's more than enough room for one person to lie down, and for two people, it's just the right amount of cramped.

There was no option to lie apart; we could only hug each other tightly like this.

There's nothing we can do about it...

If we don't hold each other, we'll fall.

Yukino Yukinoshita gently wriggled, finding the most comfortable position in Dong Yunshan's arms.

Dong Yunshan put one arm around her body and raised the other hand to tidy her messy hair.

Strands of hair brushed against his fingertips, and with his effort, they fell smoothly to one side.

Yukino Yukinoshita's blushing cheeks and snow-white neck were revealed.

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita noticed his movement, tilted her head slightly, and her soft, sweet voice had an irresistible charm, "Want... to take a bite?"

"Hmm." Dong Yunshan's Adam's apple bobbed, her gaze intense.

"I just can't do anything with you..." Yukino Yukinoshita held onto his shoulders and moved up a bit in his arms so that he could easily touch her elegant neck.

The Dong Yunshan lowered its head...

I heard the phone ring.

Dong Yunshan was stunned for a moment. He had just switched his phone to Do Not Disturb mode, so why was it still...?

My gaze shifted and fell on the phone on the coffee table.

Dong Yunshan moved her arm around Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's yours."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita's dreamy eyes turned to the coffee table, her delicate white fingertips poking Dong Yunshan's chest. "Bring it to me."

Dong Yunshan reached for the phone, glanced at the screen, and then showed it to Yukino Yukinoshita: "It's my sister."

"It's about time she called." Yukino Yukinoshita started to say, then guessed something. "The Kyoto Branch officially opened today, so she probably wants to talk to me about the results... Let's talk about the results first."

Noticing the subtle pause in her voice, Dong Yunshan shook her phone. "Then...?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. "Accept it."

Dong Yunshan answered the phone and held it to her ear.

"Little Yukino ~ You're my older sister~" Haruno Yukinoshita's voice was cheerful. "I heard business is really good at the Tokyo Branch. Did you have a proper celebration?"

"Isn't everything going well on your end too?" Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was languid, though she tried to maintain her usual cool and clear tone, it couldn't help but carry an adorable softness. "Taking advantage of Kyoto Station, we've partnered with surrounding temples to launch cultural and creative products. Although sales aren't as high as the Tokyo Branch, the price per cup plus the gifts should make the overall sales revenue about the same, right?"

"Huh?" Haruno Yukinoshita exclaimed in surprise, "You sound like you're in a good mood. You're not usually this gentle when you talk to your older sister—were you perhaps in Yunshan's arms?"

"... None of your business." Yukino Yukinoshita adjusted her voice, trying to regain its coldness, but it had little effect. She quickly switched back to the main topic, attempting to take control of the conversation, "What do you want?"

"My sister's all alone in a hotel in Kyoto right now. Even though the branch is a great success, there's no one to share the joy with," Haruno Yukinoshita sighed pitifully. "I thought about how my cute little sister was doing so well, and I wanted to congratulate her, but I got rejected instead, sob sob..."

"...Thank you." Hearing her sister's half-hearted fake crying, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed weakly. "Congratulations on your branch's good start."

Haruno Yukinoshita said meaningfully, "You're right, it is indeed a good... [begin]."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"The location of the Tokyo Branch in the Shibuya Radiant Plaza has worked very well, hasn't it? As the first core project of the large-scale redevelopment plan in Shibuya [Shibuya Radiance Plan], it's bound to receive a lot of policy benefits." Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "It's just a pity we entered the game too late. If we had entered earlier, the results would have been even better."

Yukino Yukinoshita had certainly considered this as well; moving in in April, when the Radiance Building officially opened, would offer more advantages. "There's no point in talking about this now."

"Tomorrow there will be a ' Kyoto Strategy for Promoting the Vitality of Central Urban Commercial Clusters.' Its core objective is to revitalize and upgrade traditional city centers by promoting the clustering of commercial facilities, thereby revitalizing their development and driving the overall transformation of the city," Haruno Yukinoshita explained. "It hasn't been officially announced yet, so now is a good time to get involved."

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "And then? [Linglong]"

"Kyoto will create diverse creative spaces to nurture creative projects and expand the influence of successful projects," Haruno Yukinoshita said with great familiarity. "We will also strategically intervene in major cultural and creative projects, guiding them to settle in specific areas to create a clustering effect, and providing leading creative enterprises with a series of supporting policies, including financial policies."

Dong Yunshan heard it clearly and couldn't help but sigh.

That's an amazing trick.

With this policy in place, the Kyoto Branch's development prospects will only get better and better.

The Tokyo Branch might gain a short-term advantage, but in the long run... the Kyoto Branch has greater potential.

Although Kyoto is a bit far from Chiba, it doesn't mean that the Yukinoshita Family's resources are unreachable.

Knowing this strategy in advance allows you to plan ahead and reap the benefits.

Yukino Yukinoshita cuts straight to the heart of the matter. "Cloud Snow Tea is not yet a leading creative company."

"Yes, not yet." Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "You should know the many difficulties involved when you're actually in charge of operating a branch. Even if you do everything you can, you still can't be sure if you'll get the desired result."

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the truth.

In fact, her worries never dissipated until the final result was presented to her.

"This is just a branch, based on existing successful experience," Haruno Yukinoshita reminded him. "But when he opened the first store, he was very confident."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her icy blue eyes toward Dong Yunshan, who was standing right in front of her.

"When he was in the Service Club, his abilities were only used to solve the problems of high school students." Haruno Yukinoshita paused, giving her sister enough time to think, "But when he started his own business, he was able to create a sensation in Chiba, and even his branches in other cities were a great success."

so...

If we want to better utilize Dong Yunshan's abilities, we should let him enter the workforce.

Kyoto will launch a corresponding strategy next year, which will be an excellent opportunity.

If Cloud Snow Tea can become a truly leading creative enterprise in the early stages of its strategy implementation, it will reap many benefits and accelerate its development.

If Cloud Snow Tea wants to become a leading startup, Dong Yunshan needs to further unleash its potential.

To unleash his potential, which he could not realize in the Service Club.

"Oh right, I remember Yunshan is really healthy," Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly changed the subject, "But your stamina seems to have always been a weakness..."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips into a thin line.

My sister seemed to have changed the subject, but it was actually still the same topic.

Yukino Yukinoshita was unable to meet the environmental requirements that the potential of the Dong Yunshan was demanding.

The potential of the Dong Yunshan is not fully realized in school.

If Yukino Yukinoshita truly wants Dong Yunshan to have a better future, she can't keep Dong Yunshan by her side forever.

Instead, we should... send the Dong Yunshan to my sister's side.

Yukino Yukinoshita instantly understood her sister's meaning; she knew that Dong Yunshan had heard and understood.

Under her gaze, Dong Yunshan made no move, offered no indication.

Just looking at her.

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly and took the phone from Dong Yunshan's hand.

The older sister's metaphor was excellent; it didn't say it directly, yet it made it very clear.

The older sister's metaphor was inappropriate because Yukino Yukinoshita disliked it.

"You're right, my stamina is indeed a weakness." Yukino Yukinoshita adjusted her posture little by little. "But... it's enough."

Dong Yunshan's breath hitched; she hadn't expected her to do this while she was on the phone with her sister...

Chapter 653 You Are More Important

Although the current situation is the same as before, the significance is completely different.

The phone rang when they were halfway through their conversation.

But now, halfway through the phone call, the two of them suddenly started talking.

The former is a passive accident, while the latter is an active declaration.

If it were the usual Yukino Yukinoshita, she definitely wouldn't do something like this.

However, before the afterglow of the wonderful experience had faded, Yukino Yukinoshita's strength had recovered somewhat.

I was thinking of cuddling and chatting for a while, and then...

As a result Haruno Yukinoshita Yukino Yukinoshita original plan.

If it's just a disturbance, Yukino Yukinoshita can wait until after she finishes making the call.

But Haruno Yukinoshita said those things and used those metaphors.

Regarding physical strength, regarding the future, regarding what she believes to be right...

Every word seemed to negate their current embrace, mocking Dong Yunshan's various plans for the future, and reminding Yukino Yukinoshita her past failures.

Unforgivable.

"Yukino --Hmm?!" Dong Yunshan had just opened his mouth when it was covered by Yukino Yukinoshita's warm little hand.

"Shh--!" Yukino Yukinoshita whispered in his ear, "Don't make a sound."

Looking up to meet Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze, Dong Yunshan saw the resolute gentleness in her eyes.

"Sister..." Although Dong Yunshan had quieted down, Yukino Yukinoshita showed no sign of letting go. She covered his mouth with one hand and continued the previous call with her phone in the other. "Are you listening?"

"I've been listening the whole time..." Haruno Yukinoshita vaguely sensed something amiss in the other voice, and a smile crept onto her lips. "You thought... you were the only one listening?"

Do you think what I'm saying is just for you to hear?

Haruno Yukinoshita's words were never meant for Yukino Yukinoshita.

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita are inseparable, and today, on such an important day as the opening of the Tokyo Branch, they are naturally no exception.

Dong Yunshan's call just now further confirmed this for her.

Yukino Yukinoshita n't the only one listening.

"Just listen..." Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly. "You just said that Yunshan is in particularly good physical condition, while I am relatively weak. Do you know that when doing certain things, being physically weak can be a good thing—especially when two people are together?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "What did you say?"

"I mean... exercise." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes sparkled with laughter. "Because I'm not very strong, Yunshan often exercises with me. With his help, my strength has gradually improved... and I can exercise for longer and longer."

Haruno Yukinoshita thought her sister was going to say something, but it was just this. "This is a good thing for you, but only for you."

"It's the same for him." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was calm and unhurried. "Because he has been training so consistently, it's difficult for him to make further breakthroughs. Because I am physically weak, I have made great progress as soon as I started training. Seeing my progress has rekindled his initial enthusiasm."

The voice on the other end of the phone gave Haruno Yukinoshita a vague premonition that things were spiraling out of control. "So?"

"So..." Yukino Yukinoshita finally stopped covering Dong Yunshan's mouth, "I've been thinking about whether I should take a break from school for a while and spend more time exercising."

Haruno Yukinoshita's voice instantly turned cold and hard, even carrying a hint of reprimand. "You know that's not what I meant."

"I know~" Yukino Yukinoshita gently rubbed Dong Yunshan's lips, and slowly asked, "So what do you think I mean?"

"I thought you had grown." Haruno Yukinoshita twirled the sake in her glass, examining the clear liquid she hadn't yet tasted. "It seems I was wrong."

"So you... completely misunderstand..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes revealed complex emotions. "Your correctness cannot define my correctness, and whether I have grown... has nothing to do with your thoughts."

Dong Yunshan gazed at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was so close to her.

His icy blue eyes were misty with moisture, both dreamy and resolute.

Her thin, cherry-red lips were pressed together tightly, stubborn yet aggrieved.

He took the phone from Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, turned on speakerphone, and placed it aside.

Dong Yunshan gently embraced Yukino Yukinoshita and patted her back lightly.

"Whether it's you, Mom, or anyone else, what you see and want... is all about his abilities." Yukino Yukinoshita gently bumped her head against his chest, then hugged him affectionately. "But you never thought about what he wanted."

"So this is what he wants? This is what you're giving him?" Haruno Yukinoshita slammed her glass down on the table with a loud thud. "You should have a longer-term plan, for your future!"

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a short gasp. "You... you scared him~"

Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."
