Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Dong Yunshan stood up. "I'll go get it."

"Okay~" Taking advantage of the moment Dong Yunshan got up, Yukino Yukinoshita also got up and ran into the bedroom, "Take your little blanket and put it on the sofa—ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Yunshan had already barged into the bedroom.

"Little blanket..." Yukino Yukinoshita struggled weakly in his arms.

"Just use a hairdryer to dry it later." Dong Yunshan showed no sign of stopping.

"...Terrible." Yukino Yukinoshita grumbled softly, reaching out to hug Dong Yunshan's neck.

Lowering his head, he kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's slightly upturned cherry lips, while Dong Yunshan's hands continued their work.

Pantyhose... it's really different.

Yukino Yukinoshita had already discovered this beforehand.

When she wears them alone, the waistband of the pants tightens around her legs, creating a subtle sense of constraint and providing a unique experience.

Now that Dong Yunshan is also wearing pantyhose, it's even more different.

When Dong Yunshan wasn't wearing it, Yukino Yukinoshita could easily drape her legs over Dong Yunshan's legs by using the friction between her skin and the fabric.

But now Dong Yunshan is also wearing pantyhose, so the friction between her skin and the fabric has become friction between the fabrics.

The pantyhose were made of a relatively smooth material, so when Yukino Yukinoshita's legs were draped over Dong Yunshan's legs, they would quickly slide down little by little due to Dong Yunshan's movements.

But it felt a little awkward not to rest it on Dong Yunshan's legs.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita had to use her own strength to maintain the most comfortable position of her legs resting on Dong Yunshan's legs.

Because of her exertion, it felt very different from usual.

So the Dong Yunshan became even more unrestrained...

Oops.

Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed the corner of the pillow, clenching it tightly in her hand to help her control her voice.

But the next moment, Dong Yunshan's hand slipped into hers, his fingers threading through hers, and they intertwined.

Leaning down further, Dong Yunshan kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's pursed cherry lips, releasing her tender, plaintive voice with a warm, penetrating touch...

Chapter 742 Special Value

The pantyhose rubbing against each other gave the familiar touch a special sensation.

Sasa sound lingered, a tingling sensation spread, blending with the accelerated heartbeat, unrestrained and exuberant.

Rising body temperature and sweat soaked through the smooth fabric, mingling together in a trembling embrace.

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was getting used to the feeling, the tights were removed by Dong Yunshan.

The feeling of getting used to it has disappeared, and the familiar feeling seems to have changed slightly.

How could this happen...?

Yukino Yukinoshita bit Dong Yunshan's shoulder in a reproachful manner, but she didn't have much strength. She just let her warm breath and her melodious voice linger on Dong Yunshan's skin.

"Ugh!" Awakening from a dazed, dreamlike memory, Yukino Yukinoshita bit Dong Yunshan's shoulder. "... Terrible."

I have the strength now.

"Awake?" Dong Yunshan grasped her slender waist, applying slight pressure. "Then I'll..."

"No!" Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly stopped her, glaring at her with a stern face. "You bullied me first thing in the morning, and then you put me on top of you..."

"I admit you bullied me," Dong Yunshan said innocently, "But this is mainly because of you."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "Hmm?"

"I initially intended to lie on my side..." Dong Yunshan blinked, "But in your half-awake state..."

"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly as the scene she had been thinking of as a dream gradually became clearer. "I thought I was dreaming... Anyway, you started it first, you admit that, right?"

"Mmm." Dong Yunshan nodded obediently.

"Then how do we continue..." Yukino Yukinoshita supported herself against Dong Yunshan's chest, biting her lower lip as she carefully sat up. "You have to listen to me."

Still a little groggy from just waking up, and with the influence of the Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita was a bit unsteady on her feet.

But in order to maintain her momentum, she not only did not lie down again, but instead stubbornly tried to straighten up.

The change in posture had a far greater impact than Yukino Yukinoshita had anticipated; her body went limp, and she uncontrollably leaned backward.

Dong Yunshan had anticipated this possibility, so she propped herself up with her legs to act as a backrest for Yukino Yukinoshita, supporting her body.

The feeling of having my legs propped up and the blanket supporting my body is somewhat similar to that of a sofa.

Yukino Yukinoshita leaned against it, her tense body slowly relaxing.

Her hazy, icy blue eyes glared at Dong Yunshan. Noticing his gaze, which seemed almost tangible, Yukino Yukinoshita raised her hand to her chest. "Don't look!"

The Dong Yunshan is already getting restless; if it gets too excited, it might start moving around uncontrollably.

"Alright then..." Dong Yunshan looked away.

His gaze was so intense that it felt like being burned wherever it landed.

Yukino Yukinoshita belatedly realized what was happening and used one hand to block another spot. "Not here either!"

Dong Yunshan drawled, "Eh~~~"

"Don't drag out the sound!" Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively reached out to pinch his waist, but her hand moved only a little distance before immediately pulling back.

That was close!

He almost saw it.

Yukino Yukinoshita had just breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed something was wrong again, "How come you've become even more... I blocked everything."

"Given the current situation..." Dong Yunshan's eyes were burning with determination, "I feel that if I put in some effort, I'll see results."

"...Terrible." Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed the blanket, bent down again, and covered them both with it, leaving only their heads sticking out. "No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to see... Huh? Why again..."

"We can't see it anymore," Dong Yunshan said, hugging Yukino Yukinoshita. "But we're closer now."

"No matter what I do, you'll only get happier..." Yukino Yukinoshita whispered in his ear, "Don't you like me a little too much?"

"I feel like I could like it even more!"

"Then you have to listen to me." Yukino Yukinoshita gently kissed his ear. "Now you can start trying to like me."

Their disordered breathing mingled, making the bed feel even warmer in the early morning.

"We should have left earlier." Yukino Yukinoshita changed her clothes, pinching Dong Yunshan's waist with her small hands. "She just doesn't know how to restrain herself."

My affection for you is unrestrained.

"You...!" Yukino Yukinoshita stomped her foot angrily, a blush rising to her face. She hurriedly put her legs together and glared at him reproachfully. "Wait until you come back."

"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can go another day."

"Hurry up and get out the door!" Yukino Yukinoshita pushed Dong Yunshan by the back and pushed him out the door.

"Okay~" Dong Yunshan turned around and hugged Yukino Yukinoshita, then closed the door behind him.

It takes six or seven hours to drive from Chiba to Kyoto. With rest stops, traffic jams, and toll booth queues, especially on weekends, it can take more than ten hours.

However, taking the Keiyo Line to Tokyo Station and then the Shinkansen to Kyoto, including transfer time, takes only about three hours.

Arriving at the Cloud Snow Tea branch near Kyoto Station, we queued for a while, bought three set meals, and then found a family-run restaurant to sit down.

"Tō-ji Temple Limited Edition..." Dong Yunshan fiddled with the folding water cup printed with a five-story pagoda pattern. "The lid has a blessing poem, and the bottom of the cup has a magnetic base, which matches this cup sleeve perfectly."

The washi cup sleeve is made of local Kyoto washi paper, which is thin and strong. The inner layer is covered with a waterproof membrane, which can both keep it warm and waterproof. It features simple silhouettes of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, and small cards with fortune slips that can be torn off the edges can be found. The back of the cards also has a simple tour route to Tō-ji Temple.

"Is it focused on practicality and portability?" Yukino Yukinoshita opened another gift box. "This is a food collaboration set. It contains three flavors of Uji matcha, along with a matcha brewing guide, a Hatsumode map, and Matcha Yuzu Warming Candy."

"Then comes the commemorative collection set." Dong Yunshan opened the third gift box. "Four badges, made with metal enamel, featuring designs... There's an explanation card, a five-story pagoda, Kyoto Dome, matcha leaves, silhouettes of the Twelve Heavenly Generals, a total of fifteen designs, and also washi paper amulets and bookmarks..."

"Different set meals target different customer groups." Yukino Yukinoshita sipped her Thousand-Eyed Matcha Boba, carefully appreciating its delicate flavor. "Practical tourists, food lovers who want to try new things, and collectors—each set meal is priced within an acceptable range, and the various patterns and leaves all use simple designs to increase their appeal..."

"The most important thing is these small maps." Dong Yunshan spread out the gift with the map to show it off. "It seems to indicate the tour route of Tō-ji Temple, but in fact it marks the location of Cloud Snow Tea, binding the visitor's journey with the shop and deepening the memory."

"She certainly maximized the value of the collaboration," Yukino Yukinoshita, staring at the gifts. "But for me, it's not very relevant."

Dong Yunshan nodded. "After all, Disneyland and the store are quite far apart, and the promotional gifts largely overlap with Disney merchandise."

"We should start with the design," Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "And mainly target collectors."

"For collectors..." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered, "How about blind boxes?"

"...Gulp." Yukino Yukinoshita glared resentfully at Dong Yunshan. "I hate blind box merchandise. Why do I have to pull for things when I can just buy them? But it is indeed a good idea."

"Speaking of blind boxes..." Dong Yunshan pondered.

This kind of thing has a lot of room for manipulation; if done correctly, it can even...

"You can't speculate on goods using the secondary market." Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have seen through Dong Yunshan's thoughts.

"Huh? Did I say it out loud?"

"I can guess without you saying it; this is basically a consensus to some extent." Yukino Yukinoshita's attitude was firm. "It doesn't matter what others do, but the official side absolutely cannot get involved."

"Okay, I promise you." Dong Yunshan nodded with a smile. "If we don't get involved in the hype, we can still get a lot of attention by cracking down on speculative trading."

"Hmm, then..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, looking out the window, "That car...?"

Dong Yunshan turned her head and saw a red sports car. "Teacher Hiratsuka's, and in the passenger seat is... Sister Haruno?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze sharpened slightly. "Why are they together?"

-

"You always make excuses when I ask for your help before~" Haruno Yukinoshita Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was driving, with a smile. "Why are you being so helpful lately?"

"Yunshan told me that Little Snowflake is almost ready to be on the shelves." Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. "I've been paying close attention to this."

Haruno Yukinoshita took out a lighter to light her cigarette and opened the car window a crack.

"Oh right, I came out this time to check if the contents of some previously released guidelines are true." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly. "I just didn't expect you to be so interested, Shizuka."

"Don't call me that— Yunshan said that if I handle things properly, I can live a wonderful life where I don't have to sit in an office, won't be lectured by my boss or seniors, and can spend my days driving around and cycling long distances, eating, drinking, and having fun." Shizuka Hiratsuka exhaled smoke, wisps of smoke drifting out of the car window and dissipating in the cold wind. "Although I feel that things in this world are probably not that simple, Yunshan is still reliable... right?"

"Yeah..." Haruno Yukinoshita looked out the window, "He's a little too reliable."

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just a little thought," Haruno Yukinoshita murmured. "A high school student who hasn't even graduated yet might even have the power to influence an election."

"You call this a minor sentimentality?" Shizuka Hiratsuka slowed the car down. "What do you mean?"

"Cloud Snow Tea sells very well, and we consume a lot of fruit every day," Haruno Yukinoshita said succinctly. "So it's not hard to understand why JA likes Cloud Snow Tea so much, is it?"

"JA's influence on elections is undeniable." Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned slightly, "But with only three branches of Cloud Snow Tea, how much can they possibly consume?"

"What if there are thirty or three hundred stores? Given the current popularity of Cloud Snow Tea, that potential is obvious."

"So..." Shizuka Hiratsuka tightened her grip on the steering wheel, "the Yukinoshita Family wants it?"

"Would anyone not want it?" Haruno Yukinoshita recalled the accounts. "Cloud Snow Tea is practically a cash cow."

"Then Yunshan is willing..." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head before she could finish her sentence.

Everyone wants it, so why would someone who already has it give it up?

"He reminded my mother through me that once Cloud Snow Tea expands its scale, it will indeed receive more support from JA," Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "But it's also possible that due to its large scale, it will be affected by JA agricultural product pricing."

"The conflict between the Construction Faction and the Agricultural and Forestry Faction..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's lips curled up. "Well, since your family owns a construction company, we have to consider this kind of thing. So it's best not to take away Cloud Snow Tea. It's better to hand it over to Yunshan and let Cloud Snow Tea break away from the interest group of the construction company."

"That's how I see it too," Haruno Yukinoshita murmured. "So when Yunshan brought up this situation, I was completely speechless."

Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression turned serious. "Doesn't she think so?"

"She's smiling happily." Haruno Yukinoshita sighed. "Those who aren't truly involved can easily personify JA. But while JA is the largest single interest group, it's actually a rather complex organization, with completely different demands and pressures at different levels and in different regions."

Shizuka Hiratsuka stubbed out her cigarette with some annoyance, waved her hand to disperse the last of the smoke, and closed the car window. "So?"

"At the town/village level, the biggest concern is farmers' income; they prefer stable orders and are easy to communicate with," Haruno Yukinoshita explained. "At the prefecture level, there is performance pressure, so they are very interested in collaborations that can bring widespread publicity. As for the Zen-Noh, they focus on general policy directions. By accurately differentiating and utilizing these different demands, and supplementing them with appropriate measures, Yunshan's concerns are simply not worth mentioning."

"You make it sound so easy." Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't refute it, yet was unwilling to admit it. "What can you do if JA really raises prices?"
