Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Adults who haven't grown up...?" Dong Yunshan's thoughts paused for a moment, then she chuckled softly, "Yes, that's the case."

Shizuka Hiratsuka is wrong.

Dong Yunshan really was an adult.

But Shizuka Hiratsuka is also right.

Dong Yunshan was the kind of adult who never grew up.

My friends are getting married, having children, buying cars and houses one by one.

Despite being constantly busy with work, Dong Yunshan still tackled one problem after another, just like she did in her student days.

The problem has simply shifted from the exam paper to the workplace.

Although I learned a lot about interpersonal relationships and social etiquette, it still felt pretty much the same as interacting with teachers and classmates at school.

At increasingly infrequent gatherings, when friends talk about marriage, children, and family conflicts, Dong Yunshan can only talk about her work troubles, which feels no different from telling jokes to classmates during breaks.

If others are considered to have grown into adults, then he is closer to resembling an adult.

He is not a real adult, which is why he has an overly high definition of what it means to be an adult, and then uses this definition to define himself.

"That kind of honesty is great too." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled with satisfaction. "It seems you've learned a lot from Yukino."

Dong Yunshan chuckled, "I've also learned a lot from the teacher."

"This must be one of the things teachers love to hear most," Shizuka Hiratsuka, extinguishing her cigarette. "The teacher is very happy to see this scene so closely."

"This is the result of the teacher's hard work, so of course we should see it up close."

"So what about you?" Shizuka Hiratsuka took another sip of her drink. "Why did you come out?"

Dong Yunshan lowered her eyelids slightly, thinking about how to say it.

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka followed his gaze to her cigarette case. "Want one?"

"Thank you, I've quit."

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka put her arms around his neck. "You actually smoked before?"

"I smoked in my past life."

"Did you die of a madman in your past life?" Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted and released him. "Speak up, it's been a while since you talked to your teacher. Sigh... You've forgotten your teacher now that you have a wife~"

"... Is that a possibility?" Dong Yunshan shook her head. "Actually... it's because of Sister Haruno's matter."

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned. "Could she have done something outrageous?"

"It could be considered..." Dong Yunshan carefully chose her words, "... recklessly testing the limits of danger?"

"Ha..." Shizuka Hiratsuka let out a long sigh that was neither a smile nor a laugh, "That's exactly what she would do. But it also means that some of the things you did touched her, making her feel a sense of crisis—right?"

"I guess so." Dong Yunshan nodded helplessly. "The current situation is that we don't want to stop like this, but continuing like this is too dangerous. So I was thinking... Teacher, would you like to get involved?"

"What kind of talk is that?" Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled brightly. "You've already called me teacher; educating students is a teacher's job."

Chapter 775 Discussing Marriage

The sounds of the oven and timer were incessant, and with each sound, cheers erupted in the home economics classroom, accompanied by a sweet, joyful aroma.

Yumiko Miura had already put on gloves and was ready. Hearing the sound, she carefully opened the oven, took out the Choco cake, and placed it in front of Yukino Yukinoshita.

As Yukino Yukinoshita carefully checked the results, Yumiko Miura looked restless, and Yui Yuigahama, who was accompanying her, held her breath in worry.

Finally, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "... Very good, the finished product is beautiful."

Yumiko Miura visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed.

"Yumiko is amazing!" Yui Yuigahama hugged Yumiko Miura.

Hina Ebina clapped her hands gently. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Hina Ebina, Yui Yuigahama..." Yumiko Miura smiled, "Yukino..."

"It looks good, but we can't be sure about the actual taste yet." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "Let's just say it's acceptable for now."

Dong Yunshan chuckled and put her arm around Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder, "Yukino means, you're welcome."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him angrily, but did not refute him.

Dong Yunshan blinked. "So, next..."

Yui Yuigahama put her hand on Yumiko Miura's shoulder. "Yumiko."

Yumiko Miura looked up, glanced at Yui Yuigahama, and then at Hina Ebina.

Hina Ebina returned an encouraging look.

Yumiko Miura took a deep breath, and without even taking off her oven mitts, carefully picked up the Choco cake and walked over.

"Hayabusa... Hayato Hayama..." Yumiko Miura didn't dare look directly at Hayama Hayato, only stealing glances occasionally, fidgeting nervously. "Could you... help me taste it?"

Hayama Hayato flashed his signature gentle smile, "Of course, if you don't mind."

"Um..." Yumiko Miura opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and nodded with a blush. "Um..."

Looking at the situation over there, Dong Yunshan suddenly heard a grinding sound, and turned her head to see Iroha Isshiki small bag.

"She's really something..." Noticing Dong Yunshan's gaze, Iroha Isshiki muttered softly, "I didn't expect her to be able to do this."

"Choco cake is a very basic cake, and she's taking it so seriously..." Dong Yunshan paused, "But you're not referring to the cake, are you?"

"She's usually so fierce and seems to have a terrible personality, but she's acting cute at times like this..." Iroha Isshiki muttered resentfully, "I really underestimated her."

Dong Yunshan: "... I think you're overestimating her a bit."

"Well~" Iroha Isshiki snorted lightly, "It's only interesting when a competitor has this level of strength. I acknowledge her."

Dong Yunshan: "So you're a bit..."

"Here, have a taste with your senior." Iroha Isshiki handed the beautifully packaged gift bag to Dong Yunshan, adjusted her expression, and walked towards Hayama Hayato.

The brightly colored bags were beautifully packaged, and there were also hand-drawn cards with different shaped snacks inside.

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita tried it together, and it was indeed quite delicious.

"Yunshan!" Saika Totsuka over the freshly baked cookies. "Give them a try."

"Mmm~" Dong Yunshan took a bite. "This is your first time making it, and it tastes great!"

"Yes, that's right." Saika Totsuka smiled happily. "I didn't expect to succeed on my first try... Thank you for inviting me, otherwise I wouldn't have known I could learn so quickly."

Dong Yunshan smiled and said, "I should thank you for coming."

Saika Totsuka to share cookies with the others, Dong Yunshan turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita beside her. "What's wrong?"

Yukino Yukinoshita hugged Dong Yunshan's arm a little tighter. "It's nothing."

Saki Kawasaki snapped photos, capturing her younger sister's adorable appearance.

Kyoka Kawasaki obediently cooperated, and catching a glimpse of the two out of the corner of her eye, she ran over and distributed the Choco she had made to Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan: "Here you go~"

Yukino Yukinoshita bent down to take it. "Thank you~"

A sweet taste filled her mouth, and Dong Yunshan gave a thumbs up. "Delicious!"

"I'm pretty good, aren't I?" Kyoka Kawasaki puffed out her chest proudly, praising her older sister like a teacher, "Sasa worked hard too!"

"Alright, alright..." Saki Kawasaki blushed and hugged her younger sister, looking up at the two of them. "We'll head back now."

"Mm." Yukino Yukinoshita waved goodbye, "Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye~" Kyoka Kawasaki waved her little hand and left with her older sister.

Everyone had prepared the desserts, so now it was time to eat, drink, and chat.

As dusk approached, Iroha Isshiki gave her final speech. Everyone packed up their things and left one after another, leaving only the Student Council members and the Service Club members to clean up the mess.

Many hands make light work, so it was quick to clean up.

Lacking the energy to hold a celebration banquet, everyone restored the home economics classroom to its original state and left.

"Is there anything good to eat today?" Haruno Yukinoshita asked with a smile, quickly walking over to Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita. "It's a real shame we didn't have time last time."

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly, easily discerning her sister's intentions.

Because her previous actions were successful, Haruno Yukinoshita is now swaggering around.

"Yukino's a little tired." Dong Yunshan gently shook Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "She probably won't be able to cook today."

"Eh~~~" Haruno Yukinoshita drawled, "That's a real shame. I made a point of not driving today, I wanted to have a good drink tonight."

So you're going to move into our house right away? Yukino Yukinoshita icy cold.

"But it's rare that you have time, sister," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "I'll cook, and we can all have a drink together."

"Oh?" Haruno Yukinoshita stared at Dong Yunshan suspiciously. "Want to... have a drink together?"

"Get in the car." Shizuka Hiratsuka's car stopped beside the three of them. "I'll take you back. I heard some people want a drink?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze shifted to Shizuka Hiratsuka, then, realizing something, she fixed her gaze on Dong Yunshan again. "So, they pulled this stunt."

"After all, Yukino and I are underage and can't drink." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "What, doesn't your older sister want to drink with the teacher?"

"... How could that be?" Haruno Yukinoshita laughed without a smile. "I was just saying today that I wanted to have a drink with Shizuka, perfect timing--"

Haruno Yukinoshita was only halfway through her sentence when she noticed another car approaching.

A familiar black sedan.

The car came to a smooth stop, the door opened, and Yukimura, dressed in a kimono, stepped out. Her beautiful black hair was neatly piled on her head, and her gait was both elegant and dignified.

"Mom..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her mother in surprise, wondering why her mother had suddenly come here.

"Mom?" Haruno Yukinoshita seemed surprised as well.

Noticing her sister's surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita was even more astonished.

Even your older sister doesn't know?

Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned slightly, opened the car door, and got out.

Snow Mother's eyes were gentle, and her attitude was amiable. "Shizuka, it's been a long time."

"It hasn't been that long..." Shizuka Hiratsuka was clearly getting agitated.

"I still haven't seen them enough. Thank you so much for taking care of these children." Yuki's mother looked at Yukino Yukinoshita. "I was planning to wait for you at the apartment to talk to you first, but it seems like no one has lived there for a long time."

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip and tightened her grip on Dong Yunshan's hand.

"My place is closer to the school," Dong Yunshan said frankly, meeting his mother-in-law's gaze. "It's more convenient for me to get to and from school."

"That's true, being closer means I can sleep a little longer." Xue's mother said earnestly, as if there was an underlying meaning in her words. "Although we can talk on the phone, I feel it's better to say it face-to-face."

Dong Yunshan smiled and asked, "What exactly is it about?"

"Remember the incident where Kurobe River fell into the water? Thanks to your help, he received a lot of support, so his original thoughts have changed somewhat." Yuki's mother paused, her tone softening, "So I'd like to arrange a time to meet with your parents to discuss your marriage properly."

Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly clenched her fist, a complex expression flashing across her face before being covered by a deliberate smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita stiffened, gripping Dong Yunshan tightly as she looked up at his profile.

A look of joy flashed across Dong Yunshan's face, but worry immediately returned. It lasted only a moment before she returned to normal.

This is indeed a delightful thing, but it's definitely not that simple.

Losing composure and revealing a weakness in front of Snow Mother... is a very dangerous thing.

So all three of them had their own reactions, but all tried their best to control themselves.

Apart from...

"Huh?!" Shizuka Hiratsuka stared blankly at Yuki's mother, frantically picking at her ear, then abruptly turned to glare at Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan, "Huh!?"

Dong Yunshan raised their clasped hands and shook them. "Now that things have come to this, are you still surprised, teacher?"

"Ha..." Shizuka Hiratsuka made a muffled sound, sniffed, turned and got into the car, "I have things to do, so I won't chat with you guys anymore..."

The car had barely driven away when a loud sound came back.

"Okay." Dong Yunshan took a deep breath and met Xue's mother's gaze. "I'll talk to them and see what time would be more suitable. Based on my understanding of them, I should be able to ask for leave and free up some time as soon as possible."

"There's no rush." Seemingly satisfied with Dong Yunshan's performance, Yuki nodded and smiled as she looked at Haruno Yukinoshita. "Haruno Yukinoshita, let's go back together."

Haruno Yukinoshita opened her mouth. "... Okay."
