Yukinoshita's Correction Method

The bedroom door suddenly opened, and the sounds from the sofa abruptly ceased.

Haruno Yukinoshita, wearing her younger sister's nightgown, walked out of the bedroom and into the bathroom.

Then...

Yukino Yukinoshita covered Dong Yunshan's ears with her small hands.

After a long while, Haruno Yukinoshita came out of the bathroom and walked towards the bedroom.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Dong Yunshan could clearly sense Yukino's accelerated heartbeat Yukino Yukinoshita.

immediately...

Haruno Yukinoshita about to go back to her bedroom.

One step, two steps, three steps --

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and the two people on the sofa seemed to catch their breath for a moment.

It seemed like only a moment, yet it felt terrifyingly long.

Haruno Yukinoshita finally began to move again and entered the bedroom.

Dong Yunshan had barely twitched her finger when she heard Yukino Yukinoshita's faint voice. "Don't move."

There was no sound of the bedroom door closing.

Haruno Yukinoshita's footsteps sounded again, this time not going to the bathroom, but heading straight for the living room!

Yukino Yukinoshita curled up in Dong Yunshan's arms.

It's fine.

It's so dark in the living room, Haruno Yukinoshita probably can't see anything...

A light suddenly flashed; it was the phone's flash.

Yukino Yukinoshita's breath hitched, then she noticed the light was shining towards the kitchen.

I see...

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

Haruno Yukinoshita thirsty and wanted to drink some water.

However, Dong Yunshan was sleeping in the living room, so she couldn't just turn on the light directly.

So he went back to his bedroom and picked up his phone for light.

Everything went as Yukino Yukinoshita predicted. Haruno Yukinoshita used her phone's flashlight to enter the kitchen and drank a glass of water.

Next, I should go back to my bedroom and continue sleeping... Wait!

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly realized something important.

If it's just getting up to go to the bathroom, Haruno Yukinoshita might be a little dazed.

But the Haruno Yukinoshita remembered to use her phone for light to avoid disturbing Dong Yunshan when she turned on the light means that she is currently very lucid.

But she, being sober, would surely notice...

Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't in bed.

The light suddenly shifted, outlining the overly bulky silhouette of the blanket on the sofa.

Haruno Yukinoshita's voice was tinged with laughter. "Yunshan, your stamina is really good."

Yukino Yukinoshita peeked her flushed face out from under the covers. "You're so free!"

Dong Yunshan raised her hand to shield Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes from the glare. "Sister, you're still awake?"

"Yeah~" Haruno Yukinoshita casually turned on the soft ambient light in the living room, turned off her phone flashlight, sat sideways on the coffee table, her rounded legs rubbing together under her nightgown, and stared intently at the two people on the sofa with a smile. "I heard some very interesting noises earlier, which made it impossible for me to sleep peacefully."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her fiercely. "You think you can sleep peacefully sitting here?"

"I only heard the sounds before, and I felt a little unsatisfied." Haruno Yukinoshita leaned forward slightly. "After seeing it with my own eyes, I can go to sleep completely satisfied."

Yukino Yukinoshita's snowy cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and indignation. "You...!"

"Don't worry about me. Didn't you all not worry about me before?" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes crinkled with a smile. "Let's continue."

Dong Yunshan sighed, "Sister, you don't really want to just stand here and watch, do you?"

"Hmm... that's true, it really doesn't look right." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes darted around, and she clenched her little fists. "Go for it! Go for it!"

Just watching isn't enough; you should at least lend a hand.

Dong Yunshan: "..." Yukino Yukinoshita in his arms was trembling, her anger almost solidifying into tangible black mist.

Based on Dong Yunshan's understanding of Yukino Yukinoshita, she has never been good at handling unexpected situations. If she were to be precisely provoked at such a moment, she would definitely take some kind of extreme action.

Just like before.

So Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's back, trying to soothe her agitation in this way.

but...

"Since you want to see," Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, pressing her hand against Dong Yunshan's chest to prop herself up, "Then take a good look."

As Yukino Yukinoshita got up, the blanket slipped off, no longer able to cover their bodies.

Haruno Yukinoshita instantly turned her head to the side, a blush spreading from her face to her ears. "Yukino, you really are..."

"Why aren't you watching again?" Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed, a hint of triumph in her voice. "You're too scared?"

"I just... um?" Haruno Yukinoshita sensed something was wrong and turned her gaze back.

Dong Yunshan lay on the sofa, with Yukino Yukinoshita sitting on him.

Intimacy is intimacy.

But it wasn't as intimate as Haruno Yukinoshita had imagined.

Both Dong Yunshan's pajamas and Yukino Yukinoshita's pajamas were worn properly.

It's just a little messy.

Haruno Yukinoshita: "... What's so interesting about this?"

"You talk as if you'd dare look at something so beautiful." Yukino Yukinoshita smoothed her slightly disheveled hair. "Your actions just now have already given you away; all you do is talk a big game."

"It's not too late for you to start now." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed dangerously as she picked up her phone, which she had put down earlier. "Let's see who's all talk and no action."

Yukino Yukinoshita froze instantly.

"Stop for a moment," Dong Yunshan called out, "It is indeed a bit late, you should get some rest."

"Hmph~" Haruno Yukinoshita, and turned off the ambient light in the living room. "This is boring~ I'm going to sleep."

Dong Yunshan gently patted Yukino Yukinoshita's leg. "Okay, don't be angry anymore."

"I'm not angry." Yukino Yukinoshita brushed Dong Yunshan's hand away.

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Really?"

"Really." Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Dong Yunshan's wrist and pressed it above his head. "I'm not angry!"

"Yukino...?"

"Don't move." Yukino Yukinoshita and bent over. "I'm not angry..."

The warm blankets grew even warmer, Yukino Yukinoshita, biting Dong Yunshan's shoulder, mumbled, "No~"

"I feel it's great that the three of us live together." Haruno Yukinoshita enjoyed a hearty breakfast, smiling as she looked at Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita across from her. "How about we do it this way from now on?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her, annoyed. "Isn't it just that you want someone to make you breakfast every morning when you wake up?"

"I can add a lot of fun for you guys too," Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "Go for it! Go for it!"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "Eat quickly, and then let's leave."

"Yunshan ~" Haruno Yukinoshita, looking aggrieved, "Your fiancée is kicking me out."

"I'll tell her sister later," Dong Yunshan said, taking the plate from Yukino Yukinoshita. "Let her sister teach her a lesson."

Haruno Yukinoshita her eyes at him. "Thank you."

"No need for thanks." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Since you have a car, why don't you take us to school in the morning?"

"Go to school?" Haruno Yukinoshita glanced at the date. "Oh~ today is the graduation ceremony."

Dong Yunshan nodded. "The second semester is over."

--

The school's graduation ceremony was held in the gymnasium, and all students participated.

The principal began with a speech, summarizing the past semester and expressing his expectations for the students' holiday and the new semester.

The core aspects of holiday arrangements and safety education include clearly defining the start and end dates of the winter break and emphasizing key safety precautions during the break, especially traffic safety and home safety.

After the awards ceremony, everyone sang the school song together, and then each class returned to their classrooms in an orderly manner.

Back in the classroom, homeroom teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka gave a brief summary of the class's performance this semester and offered suggestions for the holidays.

After receiving their report cards for the semester, students began organizing their personal belongings, emptying their shoe lockers and lockers, and doing a group cleaning before heading home.

The entire process was completed before noon.

After lunch, everyone went to the community center to prepare for the Christmas activities.

"So..." Dong Yunshan asked Iroha Isshiki, who was standing next to her, while preparing the props needed for the event, "Did they... break up?"

Although both students from Seaside Comprehensive High School and Sobu High School were preparing for the event, they presented a distinctly separate situation.

Everyone's busy with their own things.

"I guess so~" Iroha Isshiki hummed softly. "Didn't we say before that we were going to adjust the event content? Yui Yuigahama -senpai, Saki Kawasaki- senpai, and Komachi- senpai have all participated in the class's musical preparation, so I was thinking of having elementary school students perform the musical. This way, we can effectively reduce the budget and also get more elementary school students involved."

"This would both enhance elementary school students' participation and lower the barrier to music appreciation." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "A very good suggestion."

"But Yu Shu disagreed, saying they wanted to optimize the experience, ensure quality, highlight the theme... and there were also execution risks and stuff." Iroha Isshiki in annoyance. "I didn't understand, and I couldn't refute them, so I suggested that we each do our own thing."

"Simply put, he wants to highlight the contributions of high school students, not just have them handle logistics and coordination." Dong Yunshan was well aware of this situation. "But he probably wouldn't agree to separate them, would he?"

"If it were before, I wouldn't have agreed either, since we don't have enough manpower. But now..." Iroha Isshiki chuckled, "We have the manpower and the budget. We've handled all the communication and coordination with the nursing home, kindergarten, and elementary school. If they don't agree, then we shouldn't do it. Anyway, I'm only in first grade, it's perfectly normal for me to mess up an event."

"The hard work of handling various tasks in the early stages turned into the confidence to lead the activities later on." Yukino Yukinoshita somewhat surprised, "She also learned to utilize the advantages of her position."

"Perfect risk isolation and responsibility separation, plus game theory," Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow, "Maybe you're really suited for the Student Council position."

"What kind of talk is that!" Iroha Isshiki wrinkled her nose in displeasure. "Wasn't it suitable before?"

"It used to be a different kind of suitability," Dong Yunshan explained, "The kind that could do a very good job of putting on a good show."

"Right now, I'm the type who can handle both superficial matters and specific tasks well," Yukino Yukinoshita confessed. "I originally thought that this kind of growth would take quite a long time to complete—so, have you decided what kind of musical you'll be performing?"

"Komachi -senpai helped write a fantastic script," Iroha Isshiki chuckled. "It's an adaptation of 'The Little Match Girl'."

"Has the lead role been decided?" Dong Yunshan felt that the little girl's role in this story was very important, and the casting needed to be done carefully.

"It's that child you know." Iroha Isshiki blinked. "Rumi Tsurumi."

Chapter 656 Lighting the Match

The event didn't start until the afternoon, but everyone arrived early to prepare, filling the community center's kitchen with the aroma of baking.

Everyone performed their duties and the process proceeded in an orderly manner.

Yukino Yukinoshita undoubtedly the main force, never idle for a moment in front of the kitchen counter. "Husband?"

"Okay," Dong Yunshan replied, handing over the whipped cream.

"We also need pink..." Yukino Yukinoshita spread cream on the cake, suddenly sensing that something was off. She looked up and met the gazes of the others. "What's wrong?"

Yui Yuigahama, who had been staring at her, snapped out of her daze, "N-nothing!"

"Oh, right," Yukino Yukinoshita remembered, "Yui Yuigahama, have you bagged all the baked cookies?"

"All set up! Transit point!" Yui Yuigahama, showing off her hard-earned success, stretched her slightly stiff shoulders. "Want me to help bake a cake?"

"No!" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately became alert. "Absolutely do not touch those cakes, absolutely not!"

Yui Yuigahama, looking aggrieved, "That hurts so much..."
