Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her, "That's assuming it can be matched well."
"No, no, no," Dong Yunshan corrected with a smile, "It's on the premise of matching you."
"Shut up~" Yukino Yukinoshita muttered under her breath, "Don't say these things outside."
Dong Yunshan: "Then let's go home."
Yukino Yukinoshita said angrily, "Don't you want to think about what you just said?"
Chapter 855 Back Lace
"Shopping has its pleasures, and going home has its pleasures." Dong Yunshan took the shopping bag from Yukino Yukinoshita. "Enjoying shopping doesn't stop me from looking forward to going home. Hmm... or rather, shopping adds a lot of pleasure to going home."
Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "What are you thinking about now?"
"No," Dong Yunshan said with a smile, "Weren't we going to buy socks? I'm thinking about what to buy."
"Didn't we just decide on everything?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes showed a hint of wariness. "What kind of wicked idea have you come up with this time?"
"How can you call it a bad idea..." Dong Yunshan glanced at the shopping map and set off with Yukino Yukinoshita. "We're going to buy things anyway, so looking around and buying a little more is just a convenient thing."
Upon entering the hosiery specialty store, Dong Yunshan waved to the approaching sales assistant. "We're just browsing. We'll come find you if we need anything."
"Okay." The sales assistant considerately maintained a distance. "Happy shopping!"
Based on her previous experience buying thermal tights together, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly selected the appropriate sizes of garter stockings, fishnet stockings, and slouch stockings.
Then I saw Dong Yunshan staring intently at the other types of socks on the mannequin.
Boat socks, ankle socks, mid-calf socks, knee-high socks, over-the-knee socks, pantyhose...
Dong Yunshan looked at each one in turn, then looked back at them one by one, her expression quite serious.
Yukino Yukinoshita placed her small hand on his waist. "Is it hard to choose?"
"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan nodded, "You can't tell it's better unless you see it on your leg."
"Shut up~" Yukino Yukinoshita and gently pinched his waist. "Do you want me to wear them all again?"
"That's a good idea."
"I wasn't trying to give you any ideas," Yukino Yukinoshita sternly. "We've already bought three pairs, now we can only choose one more."
"Huh? It's a limited edition?" Dong Yunshan's eyes darted around. "Want to add one more?"
"Hmm... alright." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "Then I'll add another one for you."
Dong Yunshan was carefully selecting items when suddenly her ears twitched as she heard a familiar voice.
"Huh, Yumiko," Yui Yuigahama said with curiosity, "Why did you suddenly decide to choose these kinds of pantyhose? Don't you usually wear calf socks?"
"Could it be..." Hina Ebina guessed, "That she wants to change her style?"
"I just suddenly remembered, so I came to take a look." Yumiko Miura's voice lacked its usual assertiveness, and was more shy. "I saw your wedding photos and suddenly realized that lace is very beautiful, so I wanted to try it on."
"Mmm, it's so dreamy~" Yui Yuigahama wholeheartedly agreed, "It's a pity I can't wear that in everyday life."
"So that's why you're using lace stockings as a substitute?" Hina Ebina suddenly realized, "That's definitely a good idea."
"But after actually seeing it here..." Yumiko Miura twisted the ends of her hair in frustration, "It seems a little too mature."
"There's also the sweet and cute type... but that doesn't seem quite right." Yui Yuigahama said, then immediately rejected her own idea.
Yumiko Miura's style of dress is that of a cute older sister type.
Lace stockings with bows seem more suitable for Iroha Isshiki.
Hina Ebina suggested, "How about we ask the staff for recommendations?"
"The sales staff will strongly recommend buying it," Yumiko Miura, brushing her hair aside, "Regardless of whether the style suits me."
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama took out her phone. "I can ask Yunshan and Yukino for help. They might have some recommendations."
"Yukino?" Hina Ebina asked, puzzled. "Does she even know this?"
"Yukino knows a lot of things, and I ask her about anything I don't understand," Yui Yuigahama explained. "And when we were choosing our wedding dress, Yukino even did some research on lace."
"I can understand asking Yukino ..." Yumiko Miura said with a complicated expression, "But you still have to ask Yunshan?"
"Yunshan has a lot of friends~" Yui Yuigahama smiled, "Maybe one of them is good at this?"
"How could there be such a friend..." Hina Ebina muttered, then shook her head, "But if it's Yunshan, maybe there really is."
"...Let's not." Yumiko Miura hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "They just got married and should be enjoying their honeymoon at home. It's better not to disturb them."
Hina Ebina chuckled lightly, "Yumiko is still so considerate."
"This isn't exactly considerate, is it?" Yumiko Miura turned her head to the side. "You need to come to the store to shop, otherwise I can't help you choose—I can't exactly have them come over now... can I?"
She paused, staring blankly at Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita who were walking towards her.
After blinking twice, Yumiko Miura realized she hadn't misread anything.
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama noticed her unusual expression and turned her head in the direction of her gaze. "Little Yukino!"
Yukino Yukinoshita Yui Yuigahama, a hint of helplessness on her face. "What a coincidence..."
Hina Ebina smiled and waved hello.
Yumiko Miura blushed. "You... when did you get here?"
"We've been here for a while now." Dong Yunshan pointed in the direction where the two of them had been. "We were over there before."
"Well..." Yumiko Miura's gaze darted around, feeling that Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita should have heard what she just said.
Although I didn't say anything bad, it was still a little awkward to suddenly have the person I was just talking about appear in front of me.
"Oh, right, we were just talking about that," Yui Yuigahama, pulling Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "Could you help Yumiko choose socks?"
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan Dong Yunshan shrugged.
He has some expertise in fashion, but that expertise is specifically for Yukino Yukinoshita.
Yukino Yukinoshita instantly understood Dong Yunshan's meaning and then asked Yumiko Miura, "What kind of effect do you want?"
"Ah? Ah..." Yumiko Miura looked at the exquisite lace stockings beside her.
"Yumiko thinks the lace is really pretty," Hina Ebina said, speaking up for her friend, "But I'm a little embarrassed."
"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked around, then pointed in one direction, "Let's try a design with lace on the back."
"Lace on the back?" Yumiko Miura looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a uniquely designed pair of black stockings.
Chapter 856 That's amazing!
From the front, they look like normal pantyhose.
But on the back, there is a vertical stripe running from top to bottom, woven into delicate lace.
"Early stockings were made by knitting a flat, elastic piece of fabric on a flat knitting machine. To transform these two flat pieces of fabric into a cylindrical stocking that covered the three-dimensional legs, they had to be sewn together along the back. With technological advancements, circular knitting machines were developed, eliminating this seam," Yukino Yukinoshita explained briefly. "Later, these decorative vertical lines were created to present a retro aesthetic."
Hina Ebina looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in surprise.
Although Yui Yuigahama had mentioned before that Yukino Yukinoshita had delved into the knowledge of lace, Hina Ebina really didn't expect it to go to this extent.
Yui Yuigahama revealed a slightly proud expression.
She knew Yukino Yukinoshita's personality very well; Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to understand something, she would definitely get to the bottom of it.
"This one is really good..." Yumiko Miura was still somewhat conflicted, "But there's still a little..."
"There's no need to worry about that," Dong Yunshan reminded her. "The front shows normal pantyhose."
Yumiko Miura: "But there's still lace on the back..."
"You can't see it anyway~" Dong Yunshan shrugged. "Why care about what others can't see?"
"Huh?" Yumiko Miura paused for a moment, then put the specific scene into mind.
I met a friend while wearing pantyhose with lace stripes on the back.
When chatting face-to-face, your friends won't notice the lace design on the stockings.
When the chat ended and it was time to say goodbye, her friend noticed the lace on her back, but she had already said goodbye and couldn't see her friend's gaze at all, so there was no need for her to feel embarrassed about it.
"Hmm..." Yumiko Miura nodded, "Then let's choose this one, one for each of us."
"I've been really into lace designs lately..." Yui Yuigahama carefully selected, "Which one should we choose? Should we all choose the same one, or different ones?"
Hina Ebina looked down at her wide-leg pants. "Should I wear them too?"
Yumiko Miura: "Yes."
"Okay..." Hina Ebina reluctantly accepted, then became curious, "By the way, are you here to choose socks too?"
"He's already picked out three pairs, but he still wants more, so let's look around some more." Yukino Yukinoshita noticed Dong Yunshan's gaze and pointed to a pair of white lace pantyhose he was looking at. "He wants this one?"
Dong Yunshan's gaze lingered between the pantyhose and Yukino Yukinoshita's legs. "They match your pale skin quite well."
"Let me take a look." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the denier and material, then placed her hand behind the lace fabric to check the see-through effect and examine the workmanship details...
Yukino Yukinoshita expressionless, Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura, standing to the side, were already blushing.
Yumiko Miura really wanted to try lace, but she only dared to choose designs with lace on the back, while Yukino Yukinoshita was choosing pantyhose that were entirely made of lace.
They're not even in the same league.
Just thinking about it made Yumiko Miura blush.
Yui Yuigahama blushed because she was thinking about the possible uses for these white lace pantyhose.
She knew Yukino Yukinoshita's style of dress; she usually wore black over-the-knee socks and pantyhose, and rarely wore such daring lace.
That means it's very likely something you wear at home.
How exactly to use it... the more I think about it, the redder my face gets.
"Boyfriend... no, he's husband now." A glint flashed in Hina Ebina's glasses. "Her husband helps her choose clothes, and she wears them for him... Marriage is amazing."
It's perfectly natural to do such intimate things.
Upon hearing Hina Ebina's remark, Yumiko Miura also realized what was going on.
Oh right... Lace stockings are daring, but it's fine to wear them for your husband to see.
Even being a little bolder is fine.
"Is this what marriage feels like...?" Yui Yuigahama. "I didn't really feel it before, since they'd been living like an old married couple for ages. But now... marriage is amazing."
"Well... that's only natural. After marriage, we should naturally be closer." Yumiko Miura gathered her thoughts and chose what she wanted.
Having obtained the correct size, Yukino Yukinoshita turned to remind Dong Yunshan, "Next, I'll be helping you choose."
"Yes, there's another limit...wait, right?" Dong Yunshan's expression froze. "You want me to choose?"
"We just agreed," Yukino Yukinoshita, a cute smile curving her lips, "I'll add one more thing for you—and you agreed to that too."
"Then..." Dong Yunshan put his arm around Yukino Yukinoshita's slender waist, "I need you to help me choose."
Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "Can't you choose for yourself?"
I want to wear what you like.
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "Alright then..."
"Let's go to the other side." Dong Yunshan waved goodbye to the girls, "Yukino needs to pick out a special one for me--
"Hurry up!" Yukino Yukinoshita pushed Dong Yunshan's back.
Not only should Yukino Yukinoshita wear it, but should Dong Yunshan also wear it?
The three girls looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Yumiko Miura murmured absentmindedly, "Marriage... it's really amazing."
After choosing their socks, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita visited the family restaurant in the mall for the first time in a long time. After having lunch, they went to their familiar cat cafe.
Led by the shop assistant, Yukino Yukinoshita entered the room where the cats lived, put down her things, sat on the sofa, and watched the playful cats. A faint smile appeared on her face.
Dong Yunshan picked up the cat treat and waved it, and several cats immediately gathered around.
As she fed them one after another, Dong Yunshan suddenly thought of something, "Sister?"
"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita stroked the cat's head and responded, "What's wrong?"
