Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Yukino Yukinoshita dared not move.

Dong Yunshan rested his chin on her shoulder. "Are you still angry?"

"Just a little bit more~" Yukino Yukinoshita nuzzled his cheek and sighed softly, "Although I was prepared for things not to go particularly smoothly, I didn't expect her to go to a place like that on the very first day."

"A baby doll..." Dong Yunshan murmured, "I don't think so."

"Um?"

"Think about it, the Hina doll was made for the daughter after the mother was born," Dong Yunshan said softly. "But Sister Haruno was born before you, not for you, so she's not a doll."

"Then I..."

"The one who bears the responsibility of inheritance is Sister Haruno, not you, so you are not a Hina Doll."

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was dazed. "Isn't that so?"

"Her thinking is wrong. If you follow her line of thought, of course you'll also arrive at the wrong conclusion." Dong Yunshan tightened her arms around Yukino Yukinoshita slightly. "A doll is just a doll. Don't overthink it."

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "I was thinking too extremely. I tried to guess her thoughts in order to find a way to change her, but I ended up being led by her thoughts."

"That's the right line of thinking." Dong Yunshan gently rocked Yukino Yukinoshita while holding her. "If she sees herself as a doll, then it means she is indeed dissatisfied with the current situation, but at the same time powerless to change it."

"And the fact that she is powerless to change it means that she herself has the desire to change." Yukino Yukinoshita's face showed a hint of realization. "Her self-perception as a doll proves that she doesn't want to be a doll."

"So we're heading in the right direction." Dong Yunshan took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "Let's keep working hard together from now on."

"Mm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently and squeezed Dong Yunshan's hand back tightly.

"We have a collaboration with Cloud Snow Tea here," Haruno Yukinoshita explained. "The strawberries in the cheese strawberry dessert are made from strawberries sourced from here."

Stepping into the spacious and bright greenhouse, a sweet fragrance permeates the moist and warm air.

Before me stretched rows of waist-high green strawberries, their ruby-red berries hanging from the leaves, gleaming with an alluring luster.

"Wow!!!" Iroha Isshiki stared in disbelief. "Don't strawberries grow on the ground?"

"This is elevated cultivation," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "It's a cultivation method where strawberries are planted in special cultivation troughs or containers at a certain height off the ground, using a soilless cultivation substrate and equipped with an integrated fertigation irrigation system. Compared to the original planting method, elevated cultivation results in more uniform fruit, fewer diseases, more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and also saves space."

"It's also convenient for picking." Dong Yunshan handed out baskets to everyone. "You can harvest easily without bending over or stooping down. Come and experience it!"

Rows of green leaves and red berries are a sight to behold.

While searching for a suitable target, parting the leaves reveals clusters of enticing surprises.

Gently snap the fruit stem with your fingertips; the moment the fruit detaches from the plant, you perfectly embody the sense of accomplishment from the harvest.

You can eat as much as you want during the picking season. The moment you bite into the skin, the abundant juice bursts out, and the rich sweet and sour taste and fragrant aroma eagerly fill your mouth, showcasing unparalleled freshness and sweetness.

"Don't just focus on eating," Dong Yunshan reminded Iroha Isshiki, "Think carefully about how you should write it."

"Huh?" Iroha Isshiki blinked blankly. "Wasn't this assigned to you to write?"

"I've already given you two sample essays, and you still don't know how to write one?"

"So that was a model essay?" Iroha Isshiki wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. "I thought you, senpai..."

"Um?"

"N-nothing..." Iroha Isshiki blinked hard, looking pitiful. "I'm already so sorry to trouble you so much, how could I possibly ask you to write all the articles and send them to me? Even if you're a really, really good person, I can't..."

Dong Yunshan smirked, "It's not impossible for me to write it for you."

Iroha Isshiki's expression instantly brightened. "Really?"

"Really." Dong Yunshan nodded. "If you think finishing just this magazine is enough, then I can help you finish it. But is this magazine all you want...?"

This magazine was inspired by Iroha Isshiki's realization that, as the year-end settlement date approached, she, as the Student Council, couldn't do anything to help. It was a way for her to prove herself and help the Student Council.

Completion is the means to achieve a goal, not the goal itself.

The real purpose is to do what we can and shoulder the responsibilities of the Student Council.

"I know~" Iroha Isshiki stuck out her tongue, "I'll write it myself, but you'll have to help me correct it, okay?"

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "You've figured it out?"

"Hmm." Iroha Isshiki said seriously, "You should do what you can yourself."

Dong Yunshan nodded in satisfaction.

"Your help should be used when it's more useful." Iroha Isshiki's eyes gleamed with wisdom. "We can't let it go to waste."

Dong Yunshan: "... Alright then."

Figure it out little by little, it takes time.

After watching Iroha Isshiki go to interview the staff, Dong Yunshan turned back to continue picking strawberries.

"You're quite the talker~" With a bite of her pearly teeth, Haruno Yukinoshita lips pursed slightly, revealing a splash of bright red at the corner of her mouth. "Wouldn't it be more efficient for you to write this?"

"I'd be more efficient in my life journey if I died here now." Dong Yunshan picked a strawberry that looked good and plucked it. "The outcome is inevitable; the process is the experience."

"Oh~" Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze lingered on Dong Yunshan Sugi. "You do know how to talk."

"Most importantly, if she doesn't try to write it herself, all I can do to help her is write two articles." Dong Yunshan shook the strawberries in her hand. "Only after she puts in the effort can I help her more."

Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly. "But how much can you really help her? Can you help her for the rest of her life?"

"I'm in good health," Dong Yunshan replied matter-of-factly. "I can offer a lot of help to both family and friends."

What if she encounters a problem that you can't help with?

"Then let's bring her strawberry picking." Dong Yunshan picked another strawberry. "It'll be good for her to relax a bit."

"Half-baked help might only backfire." Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze was distant, seemingly piercing through Dong Yunshan's body to see another person. "It makes people think there's a chance of being rescued, but in the end, they're still trapped in the same place. The darkness that could have been endured became unbearable because of the brief moment of light..."

"A house caught fire. One person went to put it out, and the other didn't. In the end, the house still burned down." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "So, since the result is the same, what's the difference between the two people?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's smile remained unchanged, "What do you think?"

"If that were my house, I would want to be someone who puts out the fire, not a bystander." Dong Yunshan looked directly into Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes. "If that weren't my house, I would be the one who puts out the fire, not a bystander."

Haruno Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but after a long while, she finally spoke, "Even if the house will eventually burn down?"

"I can't choose the outcome of things, but I can choose my actions," Dong Yunshan whispered. "The fire is burning; I see it."

Haruno Yukinoshita's smile faded, "It's not burning."

"Then I'll go in and take a look too." Dong Yunshan turned back to continue picking strawberries. "Just in case? Even if there's no fire, it would be good to help clean up."

Haruno Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "This is trespassing..."

"Does visiting a friend's house count as trespassing?" Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Does visiting a relative's house count as trespassing?"

Haruno Yukinoshita stared at Dong Yunshan: "... Terrible."

Dong Yunshan: "Yukino should say that in a cuter way."

Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."

--

As the setting sun slowly sank towards the distant dark green mountains, it painted the sky with a gradient from warm orange to light pink.

The golden rapeseed fields stretch out in the foreground like an endless sea of flowers, with delicate blossoms swaying gently in the evening breeze, each petal bathed in the soft light of the setting sun.

The white-walled buildings and scattered houses in the distance appear exceptionally tranquil under the hazy mountain shadows.

The power lines and poles traced simple lines against the sky, and the whole world was immersed in the warmth of dusk, so gentle that it seemed as if time itself had slowed down.

"The rapeseed flowers are blooming so beautifully at this time of year..." Yui Yuigahama captured this beautiful scene with her camera, then looked away, taking in the beauty with her eyes. "It's truly magnificent..."

Iroha Isshiki looked to the other side.

The vast blue ocean serves as a backdrop, highlighting the bright and dazzling golden color in the foreground; the colors are pure and the contrast is striking.

A sea breeze swept across the flower field, creating ripples that mirrored the distant waves.

The rapeseed flowers undulate along the hills, like golden waves surging towards the sea. Strolling among them, one feels completely enveloped by the warmth of spring.

"Let's get another close-up!" Iroha Isshiki pointed to the side, "Would you like to be in the shot, Senpai?"

"No way~" Yui Yuigahama quickly refused, "I feel so shy--you do it."

"No, no, no..." Iroha Isshiki waved her hand, "This is my magazine, if I appear in the photos myself... people will talk."

"That makes sense~" Yui Yuigahama instantly understood.

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan pointed to himself, "Hmm?"

"Let's forget it, senpai." Iroha Isshiki tiptoed and patted Dong Yunshan's shoulder. "Although you're very handsome, this kind of flower field is more suitable for girls in magazines~"

Dong Yunshan could only accept reality. "... That's true."

"Yukino- senpai?" Iroha Isshiki looked over with hopeful eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita's indifferent gaze swept over. "Hmm?"

"N-nothing... it's nothing." Iroha Isshiki immediately suppressed her idea of having Yukino Yukinoshita in the shot. "I... I just wanted to ask, why didn't Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai come today?"

I think if it were Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai, she'd be happy to be in the picture... right?

That's not necessarily true.

Haruno Yukinoshita seems easy to talk to, but actually...

"She had something come up." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Dong Yunshan and added, "Probably."

In Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion, her older sister was most likely provoked by Dong Yunshan's words when they were picking strawberries yesterday.

Perhaps they disagree but can't refute it, so they simply choose not to appear.

It's also possible that she didn't want to be further provoked and wanted to avoid being persuaded by Dong Yunshan.

Regardless of the type, it indicates that the current corrective treatment has already shown some effectiveness.

"I see~" Iroha Isshiki sighed regretfully, "What about tomorrow?"

"I don't know either." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "We'll contact you later."

Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone and pointed it at Dong Yunshan: "Smile."

Dong Yunshan: "Huh?"

"I'll take the picture for you." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly, adjusting the camera angle. "Don't you want to be in my shot?"

"I really want to!" Dong Yunshan smiled brightly.

"You're laughing so silly..." Yukino Yukinoshita muttered softly, "Make your movements more natural."

"Little Yukino, can you adjust him a bit?" Yui Yuigahama up her phone. "I'll take the picture for you guys~"

Chapter 764 How could this be?

In a golden sea of flowers, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita hold hands and smile at Yui Yuigahama's camera.

Sensing the slight movement of Dong Yunshan's arm, Yukino Yukinoshita realized almost instantly that Dong Yunshan was about to do something naughty.

Turning around to warn him, he was met with a kiss from Dong Yunshan.

So the kiss that was supposed to land on her cheek landed on her slightly parted cherry lips.

Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened instantly, and what was originally a single shot immediately turned into a super burst of shots.

"No wonder you're an old married couple," Iroha Isshiki exclaimed in amazement. "Even your kisses are so perfectly in sync."

"This is such perfect teamwork..." Yui Yuigahama looked through the photos and couldn't help but smile.

Compared to their initial pose, this kiss felt much more natural.

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed and slapped Dong Yunshan twice in embarrassment and annoyance.

The movement paused on the third slap.

Her face turned even redder.

Iroha Isshiki was already familiar with the interview process. After telling everyone, she went to find the local flower field manager to learn some more professional and specific information.

Others took a few more photos during this time.

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the beautiful photo for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally pressed the send button to send the photo to her sister.

It seems that Haruno Yukinoshita was genuinely busy and didn't reply to the message immediately.
