Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 488

Dong Yunshan said in a heavy tone, "I made the teacher cry..."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze from the proposal to Dong Yunshan. "I remember reminding you to try not to upset her... Did she figure it out herself?"

"I guess so..." Dong Yunshan paused, "But not really."

"To be honest," Saki Kawasaki said, "Given your current pace and the teacher's condition, it will be quite difficult to avoid upsetting her."

Yui Yuigahama asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'neither counts nor doesn't'?"

"At first I just asked for leave..." Dong Yunshan sighed helplessly, "She kept asking, and when I didn't tell her, she got angry and kept emphasizing that she had a particularly strong mental fortitude..."

Komachi Hikigaya let out a soft "Ah," and then...

"I tried to coax her, but I got kicked out." Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up. "Why don't you guys give it a try?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "My going would only have the opposite effect."

Komachi Hikigaya shrugged. "Komachi isn't good at comforting people... maybe she can take a couple of photos for the teacher?"

Yui Yuigahama and said, "I might cry with the teacher..."

"Don't look at me." Sensing everyone's gaze, Saki Kawasaki paused in her wiping of the cups. "I can't exactly treat her like a little sister, can I?"

"Given the teacher's mental age..." Dong Yunshan muttered, "It doesn't seem like a bad idea."

Saki Kawasaki: "... My younger sister is still in kindergarten."

Dong Yunshan: "Isn't that perfect?"

"If the teacher hears that, she'll cry again." Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him. "Besides, if the root of the problem isn't addressed, comforting her is just a temporary numbness."

Dong Yunshan nodded. "It's the same as her having some quiet time alone and smoking a cigarette."

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "The Service Club was only established with the teacher's help, and it solved so many requests, but in the end, it couldn't solve the teacher's troubles...?"

She gently bit her lower lip, Yukino Yukinoshita voice filled with a mixture of helplessness and resentment.

"Marriage is not something students can handle..." Komachi Hikigaya paused, "You two are exceptions."

"That's right!" Yui Yuigahama. "Yunshan, don't you have a lot of friends? Do you know any suitable teachers?"

"Leaving aside whether I have suitable friends..." Dong Yunshan waved his hand, "Although I've helped many people solve their problems, I've never done anything like this before."

"Huh?" Saki Kawasaki asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"I won't be a middleman, I won't be a guarantor, and I won't be a matchmaker for three generations." Dong Yunshan shook two fingers. "I already have two of those three qualities, and I absolutely cannot touch the last one."

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama asked humbly, "Little Yukino, what does this mean?"

"Not acting as a middleman means taking on the extremely risky role of mediator when two or more people or parties have a conflict; not acting as a guarantor means being obligated to fully compensate the debtor if they abscond or are unable to repay; not acting as a matchmaker means that while the couple may be happy together, they may not necessarily thank the matchmaker, but if things go wrong, they will often blame them." Yukino Yukinoshita patiently explained, "By avoiding all three, your family can live peacefully and smoothly for three generations, avoiding unwarranted disasters. This is a wise way to protect yourself, not teaching people to be cold-hearted and selfish, but reminding them that when you get involved in the significant interests of others, you often have to bear responsibilities far exceeding expectations."

"Middlemen and guarantors are a bit better off; conflicts will eventually be resolved, and debts will eventually be settled." Dong Yunshan pointed out the key issue. "But marriage is a lifelong commitment; even if you divorce, it's not completely over."

"That's really true..." Yui Yuigahama. "Then what should the teacher do...?"

"Just leave it alone," Saki Kawasaki said bluntly. "The teacher has attended weddings before, and she can handle this level of stimulation on her own."

"It seems like this is the only way..." Komachi Hikigaya sighed softly. "Actually, thinking about it carefully, with your qualifications, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to get married."

"Her family has probably introduced her to potential partners, but nothing has happened yet..." Dong Yunshan's eyes drooped slightly. "Maybe she herself isn't ready for marriage."

Saki Kawasaki: "But I've attended many weddings already."

"I wasn't ready for marriage, yet I witnessed so many beautiful moments at weddings. So I longed for marriage, but I kept putting it off. The longer I couldn't get married, the more beautiful fantasies I had about marriage, the more cautious I became, and the more..." Yui Yuigahama, "It's a complete cycle."

The room fell silent for a moment until a knock came at the door.

"Hello, the party's finally over! Feeling so relieved..." Iroha Isshiki walked into the activity room, her cheerful voice pausing. "Wow, the atmosphere's so heavy. Weren't club activities cancelled before exams? Did you get some troublesome requests again?"

"It wasn't a commission we received," Dong Yunshan explained briefly, "... that's roughly the situation."

"Wedding... wedding photos... wedding ceremony..." Realizing that their wedding was approaching, Iroha Isshiki Shizuka Hiratsuka instantly understood Hiratsuka-sensei's feelings. "I'm starting to understand how you feel, sir. Seeing your peers get married really gives you a strong urge to get married too."

"They're not the same age," Yui Yuigahama. "Yunshan is a year older than you, Yukino is two years older than you."

"Only two years older! I might not even have a boyfriend in two years..." Iroha Isshiki clutched her chest. "To enter into marriage with the one you love most during the best years of your life, to freeze and record the most beautiful moment, just thinking about it makes me envious!"

"You're making me a little envious... though I was already quite envious to begin with," Yui Yuigahama murmured. "Even if you don't get married, it's good to experience it."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow and turned to meet Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze.

A sense of unspoken understanding brought a beautiful smile to Yukino Yukinoshita's lips, "You thought of that too?"

"If it's just the teacher alone..." Dong Yunshan nodded, "It might backfire."

"Well then..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the other girls in the activity room, "Should we all ask for leave together?"

--

Dong Yunshan's folding fan danced between her fingers, spinning nimbly in a dazzling display.

Iroha Isshiki looked over with a smile, "Senior seems to be in a lot of trouble. Are you getting impatient?"

"Really?" Dong Yunshan's hands didn't stop moving. "The White Bridal Kimono itself is complicated, so it's normal for it to take a while. Unlike mine, which is simple. A set of black Montsuki Haori Hakama will do the trick -- if you have nothing to do, go in and help."

"I can't really help much if I go in. I'm not like Saki Kawasaki- senpai who can sew, nor am I like Komachi -senpai who can take photos." Iroha Isshiki hugged Yui Yuigahama beside her. "Yui Yuigahama- senpai is waiting outside too, why did you only ask me to go in and help?"

Dong Yunshan tapped Seiyu with her Iroha Isshiki fan. "Because she doesn't talk much."

"Aaaaaaah!!!" Iroha Isshiki pouted angrily, "I'm going to tell Yukino- senpai on this!"

"Actually, I originally wanted to go in and help..." Yui Yuigahama Isshiki's ruffled Iroha Isshiki, "But I was worried that I would only make things worse if I went in."

"How could that be?" Dong Yunshan waved her hand. "It's not the kitchen."

"I won't make a mess in the kitchen!" Yui Yuigahama snapped, "I just..."

She suddenly quieted down, sniffing softly. "I'm afraid I'll just burst into tears..."

Yukino Yukinoshita even needs to put on makeup.

If she gets me into tears too, that would be troublesome.

"It's normal to feel this way when you see a good friend getting married," Iroha Isshiki hugged Yui Yuigahama to comfort her. "Don't hold back, it's a blessing for happiness."

"Mmm~" Yui Yuigahama.

"Senpai too," Iroha Isshiki smile. "If you start crying later, I won't comfort you."

"It's not that bad." Dong Yunshan's voice was calm. "I saw Yukino's White Bridal Kimono when we experienced the wedding together before, so I was already mentally prepared."

"Be prepared..." Iroha Isshiki stared at the folding fan spinning in Dong Yunshan's hand. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I..." Dong Yunshan paused, staring blankly at Yukino Yukinoshita as she slowly approached, the folding fan in her hand flying out.

Dong Yunshan had no time to pay attention to the folding fan; her eyes were fixed on the stunning figure reflected in it.

She was draped in a White Bridal Kimono as snow, the pearly white fabric woven with copper coin patterns symbolizing wealth and stability, adorned with pure and beautiful cherry blossom patterns, and the piping was embroidered with continuous cloud patterns, as if floating clouds were flowing around her.

Unlike the traditional pure white jacket, beneath the white robe is a light purple long-sleeved kimono with fish-scale patterns symbolizing peace and good fortune, presenting a color that belongs to Yukino Yukinoshita.

A blue sash adorned with a water-bound knot symbolizing eternal love, Yukino Yukinoshita walks slowly forward, her small feet, encased in white tabi socks and wearing thick blue wooden clogs, peeking out from between the hem of her clothes.

Her long, black hair wasn't styled into a bun, but rather cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently with her steps.

Instead of the hidden corner, a white lily hairpin in full bloom was used, its pale yellow stamens trembling slightly, and purple tassels woven with silver threads, refracting a faint light as crystal clear as snowflakes.

Yukino Yukinoshita, holding a folding fan, stopped in front of Dong Yunshan, smiling as she looked at his dazed face, "This is the first time I've seen something slip from your hand."

"But this isn't the first time I've noticed..." Dong Yunshan took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, "All my mental preparations are instantly shattered by your beauty."

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed. "Didn't we already see it once? We just made a few minor changes."

"That's what I was thinking just now too." Dong Yunshan gazed into her beautiful, icy blue eyes. "But what I saw last time was a beauty I dared not touch."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at him. "And this time?"

"This time..." Dong Yunshan lowered her head and answered Yukino Yukinoshita's question with a gentle kiss.

They finally kissed...

Mizuno Miho felt like she was about to cry.

She had been looking forward to this scene the last time the two of them came.

We've been waiting for a year...

"Terrible~" Yukino Yukinoshita reluctantly stopped speaking, her ears turning a cute pink. "You've ruined my makeup..."

"It looks like it's on my lips." Dong Yunshan blinked. "I'll put it back on."

"Naughty." Yukino Yukinoshita gently patted him, took the cosmetics from Saki Kawasaki to touch up her makeup, and then picked up a tissue to wipe away the mark she had left on Dong Yunshan's lips.

Soft fingertips lingered on the lips of the Dong Yunshan...

Sensing her lingering affection, Dong Yunshan immediately suggested, "How about another kiss?"

"Behave yourself~" Yukino Yukinoshita wiped the paper a couple more times with force, "We still need to take pictures."

Dong Yunshan: "Then we'll wait until after filming."

A gentle breeze rustled the cherry trees, and pale pink cherry blossoms floated in the wind, drifting into the newlyweds' frame.

Seated upright, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita gaze at each other, their eyes reflecting each other with love.

--

"So beautiful..." Looking through the photos she had taken, Komachi Hikigaya couldn't help but exclaim, "No matter how many times I look at them, they still look so beautiful!"

"This effect is amazing!" Iroha Isshiki exclaimed, her eyes brimming with envy. "I definitely want to wear it too."

"If it were a standard White Bridal Kimono, it would be fine. But for someone like Yukino, who incorporates elements from both, it needs to be designed and made well in advance. Especially the snowflake hairpin and the flowing cloud embroidery, they are all handmade." Saki Kawasaki recalled the details of the White Bridal Kimono. "Especially the light purple undergarment, it's the finishing touch to the whole White Bridal Kimono. Yukino has naturally fair skin, and it's difficult for a traditional White Bridal Kimono to perfectly present this innate beauty like light purple—a genius change, which of you two came up with it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "Mom prepared several sets in advance, with different patterns and colors. I chose the pattern, Yunshan confirmed the color."

"No wonder... such a perfect White Bridal Kimono couldn't have been made in a short time. It seems Auntie started preparing quite early." Yui Yuigahama recalled the discussion at Yukino Yukinoshita's birthday party. "Following the previous line of thought, this White Bridal Kimono also reflects some of Auntie's ideas, right? For example... preparing different kimonos for you to encourage you to make a choice that suits you."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently. "... That's one way to understand it."

"It seems the previous corrections have been effective," Dong Yunshan said with a gentle smile. "It's a very good start."

Chapter 838 Regrets of Youth

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "It could also be a planned retreat, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

"That's perfect." Dong Yunshan's smile remained unchanged. "If things continue like this, I won't find a reason to correct it."

"Still undergoing correction..." Komachi Hikigaya, half weary and half relieved. "You're getting married soon, you won't still be undergoing correction after the baby is born, will you?"

"Very likely." Yui Yuigahama. "Then there will be more ways to correct it... cough, I mean, more methods."

"There's no need to change the way you address it," Saki Kawasaki reminded her. "We've already taken the wedding photos, so we can just say it's something we do as a couple...hmm, 'fun' seems more appropriate."

"So there's such a technique..." Iroha Isshiki looked like she'd just learned something. "First, establish a relatively normal relationship, then gradually deepen it, and later you can even use it as a little romantic gesture..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared angrily at the Dong Yunshan.

Dong Yunshan coughed lightly. "By the way, Saki Kawasaki, about what I told you before..."

"Could you change the subject any more abruptly?" Saki Kawasaki held up her freshly prepared drink. "I've already told the teacher, and she should be here soon."

Before long, the door to the activity room was flung open.

"Saki Kawasaki," Shizuka Hiratsuka walked in, "Are you sure...? What are you doing here?"

"The weather's not good," Dong Yunshan explained, "So today's shoot was postponed. Wedding photos naturally need to be taken in the best weather."

"...That's true." Shizuka Hiratsuka's lips moved, clearly regretting her loose tongue. "Saki Kawasaki, where's the drink?"

"Why do they always use me to change the subject..." Saki Kawasaki complained, pushing the pink drink toward Shizuka Hiratsuka, "White Peach Zero-Alcohol Sparkling Beer —please."

Shizuka Hiratsuka picked up the glass and examined it curiously. "It doesn't look like it... Are you sure it tastes like beer?"

Saki Kawasaki corrected. "White peach beer flavor."

"Hmm, it really does smell a bit like beer." Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her glass and sniffed it. "Are you sure there's no alcohol in it? This is at school."

Saki Kawasaki nodded. "Don't worry, it's been tested and is guaranteed to be zero alcohol."

"Then there's no point in drinking it..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice carried undisguised regret.

Saki Kawasaki sighed, "I'm afraid to drink with you around, but I'm not satisfied without you."

"I was just saying." Shizuka Hiratsuka took a big gulp. The first taste was the sweetness of white peach, followed by a slightly bitter aftertaste of hops or the aroma of malt. "Whew~ I'm starting to get the hang of it!"

After saying that, he took another big gulp.
