Yukinoshita's Correction Method

In the process of gradually conquering the intermediate path, he also unexpectedly encountered Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya asked curiously, "Didn't the teacher go to the advanced path?"

"I got tired of skiing on the advanced slope, so I'm taking a break on the intermediate slope." Shizuka Hiratsuka gracefully glided along on her snowboard. "And I heard you can see Japanese Serow on the intermediate slope, they look like horned wild boars. I'm going to take a couple of pictures."

Yui Yuigahama: "... I'll send it to you later."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "...?"

When skiing, the initial focus is on preventing falls, and only later does the focus gradually shift to the enjoyment of skiing.

When we finished skiing and returned to the villa, the excitement faded, our concentration waned, and exhaustion rushed in, making us not want to move a single finger.

"Hot spring~~~" Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately rushed into the bathroom.

"Not yet," Yukino Yukinoshita interjected, "Going now would be too much of a strain on your body; you might feel dizzy and have heart palpitations. Change your clothes first, rest for a while, replenish your electrolytes and water, and then go to the hot spring."

Everyone went back to their rooms to change clothes. What used to be a simple process became exceptionally difficult after skiing.

However, it felt refreshing and comfortable after changing clothes.

Dong Yunshan took out sports drinks and distributed them to everyone, then drank one for himself before starting to prepare the food for dinner.

Komachi Hikigaya wanted to help, but she really didn't want to move, so she slumped on the sofa and sighed, "Yunshan, don't you get tired at all?"

"This intensity is alright." Dong Yunshan smiled easily. "When I work out by myself, I still prepare food to replenish my energy when I reach exhaustion."

"When you're working out by yourself?" Saki Kawasaki turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita.

She's really good at grasping the essentials.

"His own cooking is terrible." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan with annoyance. "He's learned so many dishes, yet he still manages to make them like that."

"I'm tired from practice, so I'm too lazy to do anything else." Dong Yunshan blinked. "Anyone else want to show off their skills tonight? I'll prepare the ingredients."

"Me! Me! Me!" Yui Yuigahama her hand, but then let it fall limp again due to exhaustion. "I want to continue with the tamagoyaki challenge."

Saki Kawasaki hesitated for a moment. "I'd like to try cream soup."

"You've improved so quickly!" Komachi Hikigaya exclaimed. "I'll help you out."

Shizuka Hiratsuka raised his hand. "I'll have another bowl."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

The warm hot springs and sumptuous meals relieved my fatigue and made me feel even more relaxed.

Komachi Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama lay sprawled on the bed, fiddling with their phones as they replied to messages from family and friends, sharing their first skiing experience.

As they chatted, Komachi Hikigaya suddenly remembered something important.

"Yui Yuigahama?"

"Hmm?" Yui Yuigahama her head to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"I feel..." Komachi Hikigaya recalled Saki Kawasaki's expression today, "We should explain to Saki Kawasaki that she seems to have completely misunderstood."

"Explain what... Ah!" Yui Yuigahama now she remembered. "Right, right, I have to explain this to Saki Kawasaki... How should I explain it?"

That's the crux of the problem.

That scene... it's really hard to explain.

"Uh..." Komachi Hikigaya sat up. "So... our relationship isn't actually that good?"

"It's not like we've had a fight." Yui Yuigahama sat up. "Besides, we're not that close, so wouldn't it be even stranger to do that kind of thing?"

"Don't talk about that kind of thing~ It's like we've done something shameful." Komachi Hikigaya threw a pillow at Yui Yuigahama. "We just... um... it's really hard to explain."

"How about we just explain it clearly?" Yui Yuigahama caught the pillow, shook it around, and said, "Explain the whole story clearly."

"What do you mean by 'clearly explaining'..." Komachi Hikigaya gathered her thoughts, "You saw Yukino sitting on Yunshan, so when you went back to the room, you sat on me—wasn't that even more unclear?"

"Don't skip the crucial steps!" Yui Yuigahama threw the pillow back at her. "And what about the process of your follow-up questions?"

"That's hard to explain." Komachi Hikigaya caught the pillow and hugged it to her chest. "How are you going to explain that Yukino let you into their bedroom to watch them being intimate?"

"Given Little Yukino's personality, she certainly doesn't seem like the type to do something like this..." Yui Yuigahama murmured, "But she drank too much last night."

"But she drank sweet wine, which has a very low alcohol content," Komachi Hikigaya reminded her. "Besides, Yukino was in great condition before we went into the room; she didn't seem drunk at all. We even helped each other clean the table and kitchen."

"Well..." Yui Yuigahama looked up at the sky, deep in thought, "Then we can only think of a way to take Saki Kawasaki with us to watch them get intimate."

"...Good idea." Komachi Hikigaya sighed softly, "It would be best if they invited us to their room."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously, "This is the best way to achieve the desired effect."

Komachi Hikigaya stared at her. "But do you think it's possible?"

"Ah..." Yui Yuigahama's expression froze. "That's true..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yui Yuigahama received a message on her phone.

Yui Yuigahama slowly raised her head. "That's quite possible."

In Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita's bedroom, everyone gathered together.

Yui Yuigahama and Komachi Hikigaya were a little excited, while Saki Kawasaki was more bewildered.

Shizuka Hiratsuka retorted indignantly, "I've already tried so hard to ignore it, how can you invite onlookers to watch?"

"It's about learning massage techniques to relieve fatigue," Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly. "Not just observing."

Back in the bedroom, as usual after exercising, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita began mixing essential oils to prepare for a massage.

Thinking that others might not be aware of the techniques and benefits of massage, Yukino Yukinoshita specifically called everyone over to take a look.

"A massage..." Yui Yuigahama seemed a little disappointed.

"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya looked at what Dong Yunshan was holding. "What is this...?"

"Essential oils." Dong Yunshan shook the bottle in her hand. "It's freshly blended. It's a 1:1 mixture of arnica infused oil (which has anti-inflammatory, blood-activating, and muscle-sore-relieving properties) and light, moisturizing sweet almond oil as the base. Wintergreen is analgesic and anti-inflammatory, lemongrass relieves soreness, helichrysum promotes blood circulation, and lavender relaxes and soothes—if there are any allergens, there are other options."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yui Yuigahama involuntarily. "What was it again?"

"A blend of essential oils specifically formulated for full recovery after strenuous exercise can enhance the effects of a massage," Yukino Yukinoshita succinctly summarized. "As for the specific massage technique—you lie down."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan pointed to himself in confusion, "Me?"

Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "What else?"

Yukino Yukinoshita knows how comfortable Dong Yunshan's massage is.

If Dong Yunshan were to give her a massage, she definitely wouldn't be able to control her voice.

Chapter 717 Associative Activation

"Or... would you lie down?" Dong Yunshan's fingers moved rhythmically. "I'll massage you first."

"Your muscles are more defined, so they can see them more clearly." Yukino Yukinoshita patted him, gesturing for him to lie down quickly. "Besides, they don't have your strength, so I need to demonstrate what to do when you're not strong enough."

"Alright then." Dong Yunshan untied her yukata.

"Ah!" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed, raising her hand to cover her face, her big eyes peeking out through her large fingers.

Saki Kawasaki: "You should know you're not covering anything up, right?"

"She's just doing it for show." Komachi Hikigaya looked at Yukino Yukinoshita. "Can we take pictures?"

"Wait a minute," Dong Yunshan said, "Shouldn't you be asking me that question?"

Is that okay?

"Well..." Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, then received a glare from her. "No."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked Yukino up and down confidently. "Yukino eating really well."

"...?" Yukino Yukinoshita raised a small question mark above her head, raised her hand and patted Dong Yunshan, "Lie down."

Dong Yunshan lay face down on the bed, hugging the pillow with both arms.

As you raise your arms, the latissimus dorsi muscles, which extend from your armpits to your waist, spread out to the sides like wings, revealing clear fan-shaped lines.

A distinct groove and undulation are formed between the upper edge of the latissimus dorsi, the lower part of the trapezius, and the scapula, clearly showing the division between large and small muscle groups.

"Hmm..." Komachi Hikigaya nodded, "It's definitely obvious at a glance—eh?"

"First published on 705u. com - Book Club"

Before she could finish reading, Yukino Yukinoshita had already covered Dong Yunshan's back with a thin blanket.

Shizuka Hiratsuka clicked her tongue. "Still possessive of her food."

"This is the key to the massage." Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly, "To avoid getting cold during the massage, even in a warm room, you must keep warm and cover the areas other than the ones being massaged."

"Hmm." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded. "This reason for guarding the food is quite valid."

"... The first thing to restore is the crucial flexibility of the ankle, which can be done by standing on tiptoe and circling around, so I won't demonstrate." Yukino Yukinoshita warmed the essential oil in her palms, "Start directly on the back of the calf to relieve tension in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles."

"A question!" Yui Yuigahama raised her hand. "What was... what was it again?"

"Here and here." Yukino Yukinoshita pointed to the corresponding spot on Dong Yunshan's leg. "You can simply think of it as the calf—there are three specific methods."

With your hands open at the base of your thumbs, starting from your ankles, push upwards towards your groin area as if squeezing a towel.

Then, overlap your thumbs and massage in circular motions from bottom to top along the midline and sides of your calves.

"If you find any particularly sore spots during this process, you need to focus on those—like here." Yukino Yukinoshita applied slight pressure with her hand. "If you feel the pressure isn't enough..."

Yukino Yukinoshita leaned forward slightly, using her elbow to brace herself in the corresponding spot. "You can do it this way."

"Mmm~" Dong Yunshan made a sound of enjoyment.

"It might be quite sore at first, but once you get the massage through, it will feel incredibly comfortable." Yukino Yukinoshita playfully slapped him. "Finally, use your thumb and four fingers together to gently pluck the calf muscle fibers horizontally, like plucking guitar strings, to help separate the adhesions—the same process applies to the other side."

Yukino Yukinoshita repeats this on her other leg to help everyone reinforce their memory.

Then the thighs.

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly, then straightened her face and explained seriously, "You can use the heel of your hand or your elbow. Control the pressure and press in a large circle on the back pocket of your pants."

Raising her hand to touch the outer side of Dong Yunshan's buttocks, Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her, "You might feel some particularly hard nodules here; those are trigger points, don't worry. Press down as before, breathe slowly and deeply, gradually increasing the pressure with each exhale, hold for thirty seconds, then release."

That also needs to be done according to...

Yui Yuigahama felt her face burning just watching Yukino Yukinoshita make a move.

Turning her head, she met Komachi Hikigaya's gaze, and her face turned even redder.

She seemed quite shy... Saki Kawasaki observed this and began to make a preliminary guess about the extent of their interaction.

"The upper body shouldn't be neglected either." Yukino Yukinoshita pulled the blanket off the back of the Dong Yunshan and covered her legs with it. "When skiing, you need to maintain a forward-leaning posture, which puts the back muscles in a static contraction, making them prone to strain."

Yukino Yukinoshita placed her knees on either side of Dong Yunshan's body, rubbing her warm hands together to caress Dong Yunshan's entire back. "Warm up like this first, then massage the muscle groups on both sides of the spine. Never press directly on the spine itself."

He just sat down... and got on...

Even the older Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't hide the astonishment on her face at this moment.

Is this something she should be able to see?

This young man... 85210.

"Hmm~" Dong Yunshan narrowed her eyes, "Ah~"

"Quiet down." Yukino Yukinoshita, unable to bear it any longer, slapped him.

Dong Yunshan said matter-of-factly, "It feels so good, I just couldn't resist."

"Come on," Yukino Yukinoshita, touching his waist. "You don't call me this... weirdly at home."

Although Dong Yunshan corrected Yukino Yukinoshita's formalism, some harmless remnants still remain.

Komachi Hikigaya strongly suspected that Dong Yunshan didn't feel comfortable Yukino Yukinoshita, but rather felt like she was being sat on... but she didn't say it aloud.

"Turn over," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded him, getting up. "The massage in the supine position follows a similar process. The muscles on the front of the thighs are the most fatigued muscles in skiing, so they need to be massaged in detail. Also, the hip flexors and iliopsoas muscles, and don't neglect the shoulders, neck, and arms..."

Yukino Yukinoshita explained and demonstrated at the same time, "... That's about it, is there anything else?"

"Yes," Shizuka Hiratsuka said succinctly, "I don't remember."

Yui Yuigahama: "Me too..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

"I've got it." Saki Kawasaki went through it in her mind. "There are only a few techniques. Just use different techniques for different muscle groups and massage as many as possible."

"Mmm~" Komachi Hikigaya nodded in agreement. "Komachi remembered it too."
