Yukinoshita's Correction Method

But if it's even a little bigger or smaller, that poor piece of fabric will look cramped and inadequate.

No... even the most opportune moment can be dangerous.

The top is not completely covered, and the bottom is only partially covered.

This captivating design...

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced to the side and saw the expectation in Dong Yunshan's eyes.

"That's fantastic!" Dong Yunshan's eyes sparkled. "I love it!"

"What do you like?" Yukino Yukinoshita blushed. "This is what Komachi gave me to use at home—" She suddenly realized something was wrong and turned to stare at Komachi Hikigaya. "You just said... for use?"

"Really?" Komachi Hikigaya avoided her gaze. "Is... is that so?"

Saki Kawasaki: "That last sentence about Komachi getting a high score..."

Yukino Yukinoshita, and she hurriedly put the sweater away. "Thank you~"

Dong Yunshan added, "She means, she really likes it too."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her fiercely. "I don't need your translation."

Saki Kawasaki chuckled, "Looking at it this way, it seems only my gift is rather ordinary."

Yukino Yukinoshita opened the gift box and saw the scarf inside, adorned with an embroidered Panda Johnny: "This... you knitted this?"

"Hmm." Saki Kawasaki nodded. "There's another little one down there, it's Xixi's."

"This is anything but ordinary." Yukino Yukinoshita happily stroked the panda embroidery. "Thank you~"

Chapter 700 Special Gift

I originally wanted to let Xixi try it on, but considering that although Xixi is learning to use a spoon, she still grabs things directly with her hands most of the time, I decided to do it after the meal.

"So next..." Yui Yuigahama looked at Dong Yunshan, "Are you also going to secretly give your gift to Little Yukino later?"

"No need." Dong Yunshan took the gift out of her bag. "Rather than a birthday present... it's actually a job."

"Work?" Saki Kawasaki the folder-like gift box in Dong Yunshan's hand. "The boss's job?"

"She's already done the work of the proprietress," Dong Yunshan smiled, handing the gift box to Yukino Yukinoshita. "See if you like it."

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, opened the gift box, and took out a stack of papers. "This is... a contract?"

Komachi Hikigaya asked curiously, "What contract?"

"IP character licensing agreement... Disney?" Yukino Yukinoshita quickly scanned the document in disbelief. "This is... a collaboration agreement between Cloud Snow Tea and Disney's Panda Johnny?"

"Disney?" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed, quickly trying to control her voice to avoid startling Xixi. "Is it the Disney we went to before?"

"I thought it would be faster, but it turned out to be much more troublesome than I expected." Dong Yunshan nodded. "Fortunately, we managed to finish it this morning."

"So that's what you were busy with earlier," Saki Kawasaki said, suddenly realizing. "No wonder... that explains why you went out today."

"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath to compose herself, "When did you start preparing?"

"Actually, the first collaboration I thought of was with Panda Johnny," Dong Yunshan said, shrugging. "But Disney wasn't very interested, so I asked a few friends for help, and then we used Ginjo Latte to demonstrate the effect."

Saki Kawasaki recalled what Dong Yunshan had said before, "So, what details are you referring to...?"

"We'll decide on all the design schemes for the product, packaging, and promotional materials," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "In other words, Yukino, you can design the Panda Johnny merchandise you want yourself—hmm!"

Before Dong Yunshan could finish speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita threw herself into his arms and sealed his lips with hers.

"It's starting! It's starting!" Yui Yuigahama covered her face, her large eyes peeking out through her large fingers.

"It seems she likes it very much." Saki Kawasaki nodded gently.

"Designing merchandise based on my own ideas for my favorite character~" Komachi Hikigaya exclaimed dreamily. "Just thinking about it sounds amazing!"

Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's hair. "You'll have to work hard from now on~"

"It's not hard work at all..." Yukino Yukinoshita reluctantly left Dong Yunshan's embrace, "I will definitely design the best merchandise!"

"Wait, wait, wait..." Dong Yunshan hurriedly pressed down on Yukino Yukinoshita, "This time it's different from the Ginjo Latte. Considering that there will be complimentary merchandise, we have a maximum of four months for design. So you don't need to, and can't, be working day and night on the design."

"Okay~" Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly.

Saki Kawasaki looked left and right. "It seems like it's time to step aside."

Yui Yuigahama blushed slightly. "Shall we go further?"

Komachi Hikigaya reached for her phone. "Then I'll turn off the camera."

"Without Yukino Yukinoshita and stopped her, saying, 'We won't go any further.'"

Dong Yunshan: "At least not now."

"I don't need you to add anything." Yukino Yukinoshita angrily went to cover Dong Yunshan's mouth.

"Okay, okay~" Dong Yunshan reminded, "It's time to cut the cake."

Everyone received a piece of cake, Xixi, who wasn't ready to eat cream yet, also received a special fruit and vegetable cake.

"Oh, right." Saki Kawasaki wiped Xixi's mouth, "Didn't you go to the Yukinoshita Family during the New Year? How did your chat go?"

"It's pretty good." Dong Yunshan recalled, "Although they didn't agree to our marriage at the end of this year, they didn't object either. Overall, they approve of it."

"That's good... wait, what did you say?" Yui Yuigahama paused, "What did you say?"

Komachi Hikigaya looked over in astonishment. "Married...?"

"Yes," Dong Yunshan nodded, "I'll be of legal age this year."

"That's true..." Saki Kawasaki asked Yukino Yukinoshita, "My classmate is getting married?"

"This isn't just 'pretty good,' it's 'super good'!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed. "The marriage was arranged on their very first visit!"

"It's not that good." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head gently. "Their failure to agree to our wedding date is essentially a punishment for our engagement."

Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "Punishment refers to...?"

"Because we didn't get their consent beforehand, we need to perform well in the time that follows and try our best to gain their approval." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly, "Otherwise, our wedding will have to be postponed indefinitely."

The three girls looked at each other, hesitant to speak.

"Um... Little Yukino ..." Yui Yuigahama spoke first, "That seems quite normal."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up in confusion. "Hmm?"

"Normally, parents won't agree immediately either," Komachi Hikigaya nodded in agreement. "There needs to be a period of observation."

"But they've been investigating for a long time." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "They knew about Yunshan before and had met with it a few times."

"But that's as boyfriend, isn't it?" Yui Yuigahama carefully chose her words. "As fiancé, it will take some time to accept."

"Do you need it?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan with a somewhat blank expression.

She and Dong Yunshan quickly accepted each other's change in identity and then lived their lives no differently than before.

"You two are different," Saki Kawasaki said incisively. "You were already an old married couple before you started dating, so of course you don't feel anything about the change in your relationship. But your parents are different."

"The two of us..." Yukino Yukinoshita blinked, "Aren't we the same?"

"Thinking about it now, it really makes sense." Dong Yunshan belatedly realized, "Actually, it's quite normal that my parents-in-law didn't agree to the wedding date... If they had agreed, or even moved the wedding date forward, it would have been a bit strange."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "Am I overthinking it?"

Dong Yunshan shook her head. "Not really."

Chapter 701 Still Needs Correction

"After all, Sister Haruno thinks the same way," Dong Yunshan explained. "Based on your understanding of your mother-in-law, do you think she intends to punish or correct her?"

Yukino Yukinoshita on her chin, deep in thought, "I believe it exists, so why...?"

Dong Yunshan chuckled, "Do you remember what I said to my mother-in-law?"

Yukino Yukinoshita murmured, "Human thoughts are very complex."

"My mother-in-law does try to correct our thinking, but we can't ignore the fact that she made the same decisions as any other parent." Dong Yunshan gently held Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "So... could it be understood that she also has the same feelings as any other parent? It's just that because the family atmosphere has always been like this, everyone, including herself, has overlooked these feelings?"

Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes slightly, then slowly opened them. "However, we cannot ignore the fact that she wants to test us."

"Oh~" Saki Kawasaki nodded in satisfaction, "It's starting to feel like a high-class family now. Shouldn't the thrilling battles of wits and business warfare begin next...? It seems like it's already started?"

"It's not that exaggerated..." Yui Yuigahama softly, "They're just like any other parents."

Komachi Hikigaya looked at Dong Yunshan: "Is that what you mean?"

"That's right." Dong Yunshan chuckled. "A battle of wits and courage is essential, but there's no need to worry too much. After all, we're all family."

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly, suddenly realizing what Dong Yunshan was thinking, and placed her small hand on his waist. "You want to use this method... to correct Yukinoshita, right?"

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan's expression froze. "You found out so quickly?"

"Oh?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously, "What kind of... uh... idea have you come up with this time?"

Komachi Hikigaya chuckled, "We're practically an old married couple, so it's okay to just tell us how to play~"

"It seems to be related." Saki Kawasaki stared at the cute blush on Yukino Yukinoshita's face.

Yukino Yukinoshita caught the pumpkin chunks that Xixi had dropped and put them into Dong Yunshan's bowl. "My mother wants to correct him, and he wants to correct her too."

Yui Yuigahama taken aback. "Yunshan and your mother playing..."

Komachi Hikigaya held her down. "Actually, the idea is more appropriate."

Yui Yuigahama: "... Oh right."

"He wants to correct my family environment." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan. "Because he feels that there is too little emotional involvement in my family, or rather, everyone is intentionally avoiding the influence of emotions on decision-making. So he wants us to pay attention to the emotions between us—starting by analyzing the emotional factors in decision-making."

"I was hoping to subtly make you realize it..." Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "But it was discovered before it even started—was I too hasty?"

"Your idea is good, but it's not that easy." Yukino Yukinoshita touched Dong Yunshan's waist, her eyelids slightly lowered. "My family's situation didn't happen overnight, and it certainly can't be changed in a day or two. Most importantly, rational decisions are more beneficial to the family's development than emotional ones. As long as Mom wants the family to develop, she won't be driven by emotions."

And most importantly...

After realizing the feelings you had for each other, facing decisions that disregard those feelings will be even more painful.

"Look at me." Dong Yunshan cupped Yukino Yukinoshita's face in her hands, and gently rubbed it because it felt so nice.

The soft, adorable cheeks warmed Dong Yunshan's palms, and under his gentle kneading, they took on an even more adorable shape.

Noticing his subtle actions, Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him angrily.

Then, the rosy little face felt even better to pinch.

"We came together because of our feelings for each other, and the Cloud Snow Tea that Sister Haruno and I collaborated on has indeed been very helpful to the development of the Yukinoshita Family." Dong Yunshan gazed earnestly into Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes. "There's no contradiction, at least in my opinion."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes trembled. "Yunshan..."

"Yunshan wants to reform the Yukinoshita Family because she's with Little Yukino," Yui Yuigahama, suddenly realizing, "Isn't this still what Yunshan and Yukino are thinking?"

Komachi Hikigaya pointed out, "You can use this method."

Yui Yuigahama: "... Huh?"

"I vote in favor of Yunshan." Saki Kawasaki turned her gaze away from the agreement. "Just like the collaboration with Disney, your love for Panda Johnny allows you to dedicate yourself to designing merchandise, and the carefully designed merchandise can bring profits to Cloud Snow Tea."

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently, "I was overthinking it... Let go~"

Gently moving Dong Yunshan's hand away, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up and took the gifts from her parents and sister.

"If the gift carries more of a persuasive meaning, then...it means my thinking is correct." Yukino Yukinoshita a deep breath. "Conversely, it means your thinking is more correct."

"This..." Yui Yuigahama some concern.

Dong Yunshan, however, was full of confidence. "No problem!"

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him. "You don't actually think you can explain the meaning behind any gift, do you?"

Dong Yunshan silently avoided her gaze.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the others. "That's why I'm opening it now, so everyone can witness it together."

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama instinctively wanted to refuse, "Is there any left for us?"

"Aren't you used to it yet?" Saki Kawasaki sighed.

Komachi Hikigaya shrugged. "We've become part of their play again."

"Well... that's it." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly as she opened the first gift. "This is from Father."

The small gift box contained two cards. Yukino Yukinoshita and examined them carefully. "These are... equestrian club membership cards?"

"Two cards," Dong Yunshan asked knowingly, "Could one of them be mine?"
