Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"That would be a safer approach..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly, "But you don't seem to think so."

"My thoughts are the same as when we first learned of her plans," Dong Yunshan whispered. "I don't want our marriage to be part of her plan."

"So you want to act before the wedding, to thwart her plans before the wedding, to remove her plans from our marriage." Yukino Yukinoshita gently poked his cheek. "There are safer ways, but you insist on pursuing perfection... Your perfectionism shows itself when it comes to me."

"This is the result of your corrections~" Dong Yunshan's eyes softened. "Many times, completion is more important than perfection. But when it comes to you, I'm always a little greedier; I want both completion and perfection."

"But what if..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly, "What if Mom has to postpone our wedding because the plan fails?"

"Huh? If we're talking about 'what if,' shouldn't we be saying 'what if my plan fails?'"

"Because when it comes to things involving me, you're always a little greedier," Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled. "So greedy that you won't act rashly without absolute certainty."

"You have so much confidence in me~" Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita. "I wanted to act ahead of time so I could get a response from my mother-in-law. After I've removed as many other factors as possible from our marriage, I want to know her attitude towards it."

"If it's a heartfelt blessing, then all is well," Yukino Yukinoshita murmured softly. "But if she still wants to bring those factors back..."

"Then it's time for me to change my attitude." Dong Yunshan's eyes narrowed slightly, then she smiled. "Actually, I'm quite confident in myself. I'm pretty sure about the final outcome."

"If... Mom really wants to postpone it..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly, "We can hold the wedding ourselves."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan cupped Yukino Yukinoshita's warm cheeks. "Is this the start of your rebellious phase?"

"No way!" Yukino Yukinoshita playfully slapped him. "Think about it, Mom has already agreed to our marriage, right?"

Dong Yunshan nodded. "Yes."

"It was my mother who suggested moving the wedding date forward."

"... Yes." Dong Yunshan had originally planned to hold the wedding a long time from now.

Yukino Yukinoshita continued, "You and I both agreed to Mother's suggestion to move the marriage forward, right?"

"Yes!" The Dong Yunshan was very certain.

Yukino Yukinoshita gently coaxed, "Then, if Mother postpones the wedding again, she'll be breaking her word."

Dong Yunshan vaguely sensed Yukino Yukinoshita's train of thought, "Yes..."

Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously, "If we postpone the wedding according to Mom's wishes, then we're going back on our word."

"Yes..." Dong Yunshan hesitated, "..."

"Just because Mom doesn't keep her word doesn't mean we should break ours too." Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled up. "Mom's mistakes are not an excuse for us to make mistakes. We should do the right thing, which means keeping our word."

"Hmm...?" Dong Yunshan gathered her thoughts, "It seems... that's how it is."

"Most importantly," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her, "If what Mom said before doesn't count, then what she says later might also not count. Since her decision to move the wedding date forward doesn't count, then her decision to postpone the wedding date shouldn't count either."

"Hmm... that makes sense."

"So she moved up the wedding date so we could get married sooner, and if we postpone it, we should get married on time," Yukino Yukinoshita concluded. "So no matter what she says, we still have to do the same thing."

"Although I feel that this argument won't work in front of my mother-in-law..." Dong Yunshan lowered her head and gently rubbed her nose against Yukino Yukinoshita's, "You've successfully convinced me, so this argument is absolutely correct to me."

"It was right all along..." Yukino Yukinoshita hummed softly and gave him a light peck on the lips.

The next moment, the fleeting kiss lingered even longer.

Chapter 817 It's Not Sudden

"Yukinoshita's Correction Method?" Haruno Yukinoshita took the folder from Dong Yunshan, puffed out her cheeks slightly, and complained unhappily, "You specifically asked me out alone, I thought you had some bold ideas about my sister~"

"Yukino's angry, you'll have to appease her yourself." Dong Yunshan picked up his Americano and took a sip. "As for whether my idea is bold or not... we'll see after we finish reading."

"It's not like you can just sit idly by if she's unhappy." Haruno Yukinoshita flipped open the folder. "I wish you could actually be a little bolder... Are you serious?"

Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly looked up and stared into Dong Yunshan's eyes.

The smile that had always been on his face vanished completely, replaced by an unusual, almost cold, serious expression.

Dong Yunshan, with a straw in her mouth, said in a slightly muffled voice, "See, you're really bold, and now you're unhappy again."

With a soft click of her tongue, Haruno Yukinoshita flipped through the documents haphazardly. After confirming that her guess was basically correct, she raised her hand and pressed it to her temple, as if she was enduring a headache.

The three women, mother and daughters, were thinking in almost identical ways... Dong Yunshan drank her coffee, not disturbing Haruno Yukinoshita's thoughts.

"No wonder you wanted to ask me out alone." Haruno Yukinoshita put the folder aside. "You didn't discuss this plan with Yukino, did you?"

"The Service Club is helping organize the ball right now. I need to go help out after we finish talking." Dong Yunshan put down her coffee. "This is the result of our previous discussion. I'll handle the overall planning, and she'll guarantee the completion of the smaller goals."

"This way, we can prevent Mom from figuring out your thoughts through Yukino's actions." Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze returned to the folder beside her. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I wasn't sure before," Dong Yunshan leaned back in his chair, "But what I experienced the other day has made me certain... I really hate these things."

Haruno Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "Do you really understand what this means?"

"It means... I haven't forgotten my original aspirations," Dong Yunshan whispered, "Lion Sister."

Animal Chess.

Each side has eight pieces: Elephant, Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Wolf, Dog, Cat, and Mouse, with their combat strength decreasing in that order. However, the Mouse can kill the Elephant.

The two sides fight each other, and the winner is the one who enters the opponent's lair; one cannot enter one's own lair.

Back when they first met, Dong Yunshan had talked to Haruno Yukinoshita about the Animal Chess.

At that time, he had not yet officially started dating Yukino Yukinoshita and was working hard to correct Yukino Yukinoshita's awkward personality.

Initially, Dong Yunshan wanted to correct Yukino Yukinoshita by defeating her in the Service Club competition.

However, after learning about Haruno Yukinoshita's existence, he realized that such a method of correction was simply not feasible.

Yukino Yukinoshita has lost to Haruno Yukinoshita too many times. Defeating her won't correct her problems; on the contrary, it might worsen them.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita is too outstanding. If he loses to her, he cannot prove himself right, nor can he correct her.

So... if Dong Yunshan defeats the older sister that Yukino Yukinoshita cannot defeat, she can get Yukino Yukinoshita to cooperate with her correction without defeating Yukino Yukinoshita.

At that time, Dong Yunshan compared Yukino Yukinoshita to a cat, himself to a mouse, and Haruno Yukinoshita an elephant.

Later, after learning more about Yuki-mama, I realized that Yuki-mama was the real elephant of the Yukinoshita Family.

Under the Haruno Yukinoshita naturally transformed into a lion.

It was around that time that Haruno Yukinoshita asked Dong Yunshan a question: ["Junior... what exactly do you want to do?"]

"Correct Yukinoshita." Dong Yunshan softly repeated her original answer. "That was my thought back then, and that's what I'm doing now."

"What a persistent little mouse..." Haruno Yukinoshita rested her chin on her hand, gazing at her junior schoolmate in front of her. "You're almost getting married, and you still haven't forgotten what happened before?"

"It's precisely because I'm getting married," Dong Yunshan patted the folder, "That I need to take care of all the old things."

"Is this also part of correcting Yukinoshita?" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "So, the [Yukinoshita] you mentioned back then included me too."

"So, how does this correction method feel..." Dong Yunshan stared into Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes, "Sister, how do you feel about it?"

"If you ask me whether I think it will succeed, I can't answer that." Haruno Yukinoshita picked up the folder, a cute smile playing on her lips. "But... I think it's quite interesting."

-

"I talked to Sister Haruno today." Dong Yunshan sat down next to Yukino Yukinoshita, who was reviewing the project plan. "After the ball, we can officially begin operations."

"With my sister...?" Yukino Yukinoshita casually saved the file. "Is the subsequent plan related to my sister? Then it should be--"

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then reached out and wrapped her arms around Dong Yunshan's neck, kissing his lips.

"Hmm?" Caught off guard, Dong Yunshan skillfully embraced her, responding to her warm embrace and breathing in her warm breath.

"Phew~" Yukino Yukinoshita exhaled softly, "So close..."

"Almost..." Dong Yunshan blinked. "You guessed my plan?"

"Hmm, I feel like if I keep thinking about it, I'll guess it." Yukino Yukinoshita gently rubbed Dong Yunshan's lips with her soft fingertips. "So I need to interrupt for a moment."

"Just interrupting me doesn't seem enough..." Dong Yunshan tightened her arms. "Let me help you."

"You—" Yukino Yukinoshita's words were cut off before she could finish, followed by even more unrestrained exploration.

"I haven't finished checking it yet..." Yukino Yukinoshita protested between kisses, "I haven't finished checking the plan."

"You just saved it." Dong Yunshan helped Yukino Yukinoshita adjust the position of her skirt. "I saw it."

"That was just for saving—um~" Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, gently patted him, and her furrowed brows finally relaxed after a while. "Suddenly..."

"Sudden?" Dong Yunshan grabbed her wrist and pressed it against her soft belly. "Your kiss just now seemed even more sudden~"

"It wasn't sudden at all." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her angrily, "When I kissed you, I saw your lips pout—you were already prepared."

"That makes sense..." Dong Yunshan released her wrist, then grabbed her skirt instead. "Then I'll take a look too."

"Don't look!" Yukino Yukinoshita pressed down hard on her skirt. "Disgusting~"

Chapter 818 I Need You

Even though they're both at home, the living room and the bedroom feel completely different.

To be precise, even within the living room, the feeling can be completely different depending on where you are.

The Kotatsu was the perfect height, but it was so hot inside that I would break into a sweat very quickly.

On the Kotatsu... because the Kotatsu has limited space, some limbs are always suspended in the air, creating a unique sense of danger.

The height of the dining table is just right in another way. Although it doesn't have Kotatsu heating function, the tabletop is large enough to support the body well, giving one a strange illusion of enjoying the food.

Sofas are a more versatile type.

On the one hand, it has enough space to be used as a bed that's just the right size for a cramped space.

On the other hand, it also has a chair-like structure, which, if used flexibly, can result in many different designs...

"Ouch!" Yukino Yukinoshita, having regained some strength, lowered her head and bit Dong Yunshan's shoulder.

"You've recovered?" Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up, and his arms around her immediately became restless.

"No!" Yukino Yukinoshita immediately agreed, then added softly, "Not yet..."

"I know~" Dong Yunshan pulled the edge of the blanket closer to wrap Yukino Yukinoshita in her arms, and patted her back gently. "Actually, after telling Sister Haruno, the action plan was basically already in place, so it's okay if you guessed it."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Dong Yunshan's ear. "Then why did you interrupt my train of thought like that? And... and for so long?"

"Isn't this just going along with you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her pink cheeks slightly. "I don't want this kind of cooperation!"

Dong Yunshan blinked. "Really?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, her little face turning red. "... I won't tell you."

Dong Yunshan sighed softly, "Then I'll have to find the answer myself."

"Don't move..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice softened, "I already said it hasn't happened yet..."

"Then tell me."

"...Terrible~" Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, leaned close to Dong Yunshan's ear and whispered, "I...need you..."

Dong Yunshan waited for a while. "What about the follow-up coordination?"

"No~" Yukino Yukinoshita gently kissed his earlobe, her voice tinged with a cute playfulness, "It's just you."

Dong Yunshan's breath hitched. "Then I'll have to cooperate fully."

Yukino Yukinoshita twisted slightly. "If... it were a little slower..."

"I can't guarantee that, after all, you're so cute, one wrong move and..." Dong Yunshan thought of a good idea, "... you can use your favorite pose..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her angrily. "Hmm?"

"Method," Dong Yunshan changed her mind, "Control the rhythm in your preferred way."

"I just can't do anything with you..." Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed the edge of the blanket, wrapped it around herself, and sat up, adjusting herself slightly. "Hmm~"

Dong Yunshan tugged at the blanket. "Do you want to stay wrapped up like this?"

"Yes~" Yukino Yukinoshita looked down at Dong Yunshan with a self-righteous snort, "After all, I'm so cute, if you're not careful and get too obsessed... I'll... um... lose control of the rhythm."

"Alright then." Dong Yunshan stopped trying to pull the blanket away and instead began to explore it.

"Stop fooling around..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly, her long, cascading hair swaying gently. "I'm... organizing my thoughts..."

"At a time like this?"

"Only when it's like this can you be a little... um... a little... obedient." Yukino Yukinoshita adjusted her breathing, trying to control her voice, "You just said the plan was already in place, and it's okay even if I guessed it... which means, my sister is the key to the plan—"
