Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "More efficient."

"That's it, especially when compared to Cloud Snow Tea." Dong Yunshan smiled helplessly, "Sister Haruno does such a good job with Cloud Snow Tea, but with Cloud Flash Delivery... without me, there would really be a lot of problems."

Yukino Yukinoshita muttered softly, "That's why I said..."

"Don't worry about it." Dong Yunshan repeated what Yukino Yukinoshita had said. "I should ignore your feelings and focus on my work, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly.

"For a moment, I did have that thought," Dong Yunshan gently took her hand, "But the next moment, I dismissed it."

"Because of a sudden, inexplicable emotional outburst, I put down important work..." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head and gently bumped his chest. "Don't do things like that. I don't want to become a spoiled, tantrum-throwing child."

"Of course you weren't being willful or throwing a tantrum." Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's soft, long hair. "You just wanted me to come back sooner, you didn't cry or beg me not to leave."

Yukino Yukinoshita wrinkled her nose. "No way."

"So... I'm able to think rationally and face the problems head-on," Dong Yunshan murmured. "Should I really go?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at her. "You just said that if you don't go, a lot of the work might not be able to proceed smoothly."

"That's the crux of the problem." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "In a normal company, even if one or two people are missing, work should still continue as normal."

"But you're different." Yukino Yukinoshita gripped Dong Yunshan's hand slightly tighter. "There are many things that only you can do well, and you're the most efficient person to do them."

"Then what?"

"And then..." Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned. "And then?"

"Right after I left the house, I was thinking, is it because I'm here that efficiency is high, or because I'm not here that efficiency is low?"

"Huh?" A look of realization flashed across Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.

Having Dong Yunshan Dong Yunshan things more efficient, and not having them makes things less efficient. It sounds like the same thing, but in reality, they are completely different.

There's a standard issue here.

Let's assume the efficiency of a normal company is 10.

So, with Dong Yunshan, the efficiency of Cloud Flash Delivery becomes 15, while without Dong Yunshan, the Cloud Flash Delivery is 10. This is because Dong Yunshan has excellent individual capabilities.

However, if the delivery efficiency of Dong Yunshan is 10 when there is Cloud Flash Delivery, and 5 when there is no Dong Yunshan Cloud Flash Delivery, then there is a big problem.

"You mean..." Yukino Yukinoshita pondered along with Dong Yunshan's train of thought, "A normal company starts from scratch, and as it develops, the individual abilities of its members also grow, thus forming a positive cycle. But because of you, this cycle has not been able to proceed normally."

"With the development of Cloud Flash Delivery, many people's abilities have fallen behind." Dong Yunshan sighed. "Although I am training new people, they have the same work style as me. They are unwilling to entrust others with things they can do well themselves. Lacking opportunities for practice, their growth naturally cannot be achieved."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "So you don't need to improve your work efficiency, in fact, you should refrain from improving it."

"Let those who are meant to make mistakes make the mistakes they are meant to make. If you want growth, you must have a growth process and pay the corresponding price." Dong Yunshan smiled easily. "The efficiency may be a little lower now, but if we don't do this, the efficiency will be even lower in the future."

"So... you came back?"

"If you threw a tantrum and cried, begging me to stay, I would definitely stay without thinking. If you hid your emotions and didn't tell me anything, I wouldn't be able to rationally face this issue either." Dong Yunshan gazed into Yukino Yukinoshita's beautiful icy blue eyes. "But you didn't hide anything from me, and you didn't get angry with me, so I was able to make the right choice after careful consideration."

Yukino Yukinoshita trembled slightly, her heart pounding faster and faster. "You mean..."

"Your emotions, your restraint, everything about you..." Dong Yunshan cupped Yukino Yukinoshita's face in her hands, "All of which allow me to rationally and consciously indulge in them."

A tender kiss speaks of a deep love that is difficult to express in words; what words cannot fully convey is transformed into a gentle invasion and intertwined breaths.

"You seem to..." Yukino Yukinoshita, slightly out of breath, "To love me even more now."

"It's not just a little," Dong Yunshan whispered, "there's so much more~"

Chapter 771 Making Choco

A week after Dong Yunshan repaired the electric heater in the activity room, the staff finally came to make repairs.

However, there was no need for repairs at the moment. The staff simply went through the motions of checking and said they would report it again if any problems arose next time.

Several articles for the magazine have been initially completed, and Dong Yunshan is currently communicating with Iroha Isshiki about the final version.

"Time is of the essence this time, so I'll just fix it for you right away." Dong Yunshan's fingers flew up and down. "Take a close look at the parts I've modified."

"Uh..." Iroha Isshiki stared at the screen, "I did read what you wrote before carefully, but it just feels weird when I write it myself."

"That's normal," Dong Yunshan nodded, "Because you're just imitating my form without grasping the essence."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled into a beautiful smile.

"Let's start with the simplest things." Dong Yunshan shook the mouse. "At first glance, just look at the main title, the main image, and the introduction. Can they instantly grab the reader's attention and clearly state the theme? Don't pile up fancy words and make things complicated."

"It needs to be understandable~" Iroha Isshiki nodded vigorously, "I understand."

"The second step is to read only the subheadings, information boxes, and image captions to see if you can understand the article's logical structure and core information." Dong Yunshan noted on the manuscript, "You see, the description of the flower sea is a bit wordy. Since there are already pictures, we should make use of them and use the pictures to guide the reading pace."

"Hmm~ Indeed." Iroha Isshiki murmured, "After all, it's a color page, so we should make the most of the images."

"Finally, we should read through the entire text to check if the writing flows smoothly and if the information is accurate," Dong Yunshan pointed out the key point. "The transition here is too abrupt."

Iroha Isshiki muttered under her breath, "There's not enough space, we still have to introduce all sorts of information..."

"Right, the key is the information delivery." Dong Yunshan turned her head. "The most important thing about this kind of article is the information it contains, so how you convey that information is crucial. You must constantly remind yourself that you're not recommending a place to the reader, but rather taking a friend there. Shifting your mindset is more effective than many techniques."

Iroha Isshiki looked somewhat bewildered. "Bring a friend?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Dong Yunshan looked at Yui Yuigahama, "Yui Yuigahama, I heard you went to the Flower Art Museum with Yumiko and Hina Ebina over the weekend? How was it?"

"It's absolutely fantastic!" Yui Yuigahama showed off the photos she had taken on her phone. "They say it's a fusion of nature and art, and the works are all inspired by the beauty of plant shapes. It's super easy to understand!"

Yui Yuigahama excitedly explained, "Not only can you watch, but you can also experience various activities, such as flower arranging, flower wreath making, and many different craft classes. There's also a light show in the evening! It's a pity you don't have time on the weekend. You must go and see it when you have time. It's very convenient to take the train from the west exit of Inage Station."

"Weekends are really busy." Dong Yunshan flipped through the pictures. "Is there anything to eat?"

"There's a shopping mall right next door, with food and drinks, and you can even watch movies," Yui Yuigahama gestured. "It's huge, you can shop there for ages in the comfort of the air."

"Thank you so much." Dong Yunshan handed the phone back to Yui Yuigahama, then turned to Iroha Isshiki, "Got it?"

"It feels better than the long, drawn-out essay I racked my brains to come up with..." Iroha Isshiki sighed. "A friend recommended it, and it definitely sounds more appealing than an advertisement."

Dong Yunshan pointed to the last sponsorship support section. "[Little Snowflake - Making Beauty Traceable] This is the effect we want to achieve... Hmm, that's about it, let's send it over there."

"Thank you for your hard work, senior!" With Yukino Yukinoshita's reminder, Iroha Isshiki checked the manuscript one last time and sent it over.

"It's finally over~" Iroha Isshiki picked up the drink made by Saki Kawasaki and took a big gulp. "I'm saved~"

"We also need to submit a copy to the teacher, and there may be some revisions required." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "It won't be truly over until the printing is complete."

"Well, this is a partial victory." Iroha Isshiki raised her glass high, "Hooray!"

"Don't worry too much." Dong Yunshan mentally reviewed the manuscript. "Just get some rest these next couple of days."

"Take a break..." Iroha Isshiki's eyes darted around.

Saki Kawasaki glanced at her. "What are you researching now?"

"N-nothing..." Iroha Isshiki fiddled with her cup. "I just suddenly have some free time, and I can't seem to stay still."

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama, puzzled. "The Student Council's annual settlement...?"

"That's all I need to do," Iroha Isshiki gestured as if stamping a document. "As for the rest... I can't help with that."

Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "Aren't there club activities too?"

"Well..." Iroha Isshiki turned her head away embarrassedly, "It's too cold to participate in soccer activities right now."

Dong Yunshan: "..."

They're skipping club activities just because of the weather?

Catching Iroha Isshiki's face, Dong Yunshan instantly understood.

It's not just the weather...

The events of last Christmas haven't even faded yet.

Iroha Isshiki in the Soccer Club... was somewhat awkward.

Saki Kawasaki asked curiously, "So what are you thinking about?"

Iroha Isshiki opened her mouth. "It's... that."

"That?" Yui Yuigahama blinked, then suddenly realized, "That!"

"Oh~" Komachi Hikigaya nodded. "Oh, that's what it is."

Dong Yunshan: "Which one?"

Saki Kawasaki glanced at him. "Now you know how we feel listening to you two talking in hushed tones?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "Valentine’s Day?"

Saki Kawasaki was taken aback. "Oh, it's Valentine’s Day."

Dong Yunshan: "... So you didn't know?"

"Valentine’s Day is coming soon." Iroha Isshiki blinked her eyes. "Senior, do you like sweets?"

Dong Yunshan answered truthfully, "I like it not sweet."

Iroha Isshiki sighed, "I don't like it..."

"He likes most foods," Yukino Yukinoshita corrected, "Including sweets, but he prefers sweets that aren't sweet."

Yui Yuigahama looked puzzled. "Not sweet... is it still a dessert?"

"Sweet but not cloying, just right." Dong Yunshan further explained, "The goal is to use sweetness to enhance and elevate the flavor of the ingredients themselves; too much is as bad as too little."

Iroha Isshiki pressed on, "Then... what about the Choco?"

"Choco... um?" Dong Yunshan realized, "You didn't mean to ask about me, did you?"

"Hehe..." Iroha Isshiki chuckled sheepishly.

"You want to give Hayato Hayama Choco?" Yui Yuigahama realized, "But I heard he doesn't accept Choco."

"Huh?" Iroha Isshiki asked, puzzled. "Why?"

Yui Yuigahama: "I don't know either..."

"Just think about it," Dong Yunshan reminded him. "If your friend gave him Choco, what would you think?"

Iroha Isshiki soft "Ah," and said, "Because it would cause conflict among the girls, I won't accept it..."

Komachi Hikigaya: "It seems like it's not just a conflict between girls."

"In that case..." Iroha Isshiki nodded, "Then we'll have to deliver it secretly."

Dong Yunshan: "... I thought you were going to give up."

Iroha Isshiki cast an inquisitive glance at me. "So all boys have the same tastes as you, senpai? I'm thinking about how sweet I should make it."

"Flowers come in a hundred colors, and people are different from one another." Dong Yunshan smiled. "However... when a boy receives Choco, the taste of the Choco no longer matters."

Yui Yuigahama the way Hobe and the Tobe were chatting today, it seemed like they were only thinking about whether they could receive it, not about their tastes."

"Discussion..." Dong Yunshan twitched the corner of her mouth.

The topic of discussion with Tobe Kakeru and the others had already moved beyond that; they quickly steered the conversation towards Choco, casually expressing their desire to receive Choco.

Dong Yunshan felt embarrassed for others after hearing this.

Were my own little schemes this obvious even back in high school?

It seems that's true.

My habit of feeling embarrassed for others has finally been cured.

I started to feel embarrassed for myself.

"Then I'm relieved!" Iroha Isshiki stood up. "I'll go back and study it..."

She had just gotten up when she heard a knock on the door.

Dong Yunshan responded, "Please come in."

"Hello, hello~" Hina Ebina opened the door. "Excuse me for a moment?"

"Hina Ebina?" Yui Yuigahama gently beckoned, "Come in and let's talk~"

"Excuse me." Hina Ebina walked into the activity room, followed by a reluctant Yumiko Miura.

Yukino Yukinoshita to the chase. "May I ask what brings you two here?"

Hina Ebina looked at Yumiko Miura beside her, but Yumiko Miura avoided Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze and turned to Iroha Isshiki: "What are you doing here?"
