Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
"Speaking of which," Saki Kawasaki looked up, "How are your statements of purpose and activity reports coming along? I've tried writing a few drafts, but I'm still not quite satisfied."
"Well..." Komachi Hikigaya smiled sheepishly, "I haven't started yet. After making the decision, I relaxed a little, and before I knew it, my vacation was over."
"I feel the same way!" Yui Yuigahama nodded in deep agreement. "So what are the statement of purpose and activity report?"
"The statement of purpose is a letter of self-recommendation written to universities, which generally includes the applicant's motivation and future plans." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "The activity report is a resume for the three years of high school, and its core is to showcase personal qualities beyond academic performance."
"Ah..." Yui Yuigahama tilted her head, "Huh?"
"Your statement of purpose should clearly explain why you chose this university and this major, and why the university should choose you," Dong Yunshan rephrased. "Your activity report should describe what you did during your three years of high school and what you learned from it."
Yui Yuigahama: "Oh!"
"Writing a statement of purpose and a report on your activities will clearly explain what kind of person you were in the past and what kind of person you want to become in the future," Yukino Yukinoshita added. "Komachi and Saki Kawasaki also need to prepare portfolios."
"I... I used to run the official account for Cloud Snow Tea), and it did pretty well." Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, "I want to work in public relations in the future, so I'm coming to school to learn related knowledge."
"You understand correctly." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "But that's not enough—brother?"
"Ahem." Dong Yunshan coughed lightly, stretched his facial muscles, and revealed a student-like smile, displaying a warm and enthusiastic spirit. His voice carried just the right amount of excitement and enthusiasm. "The reason I aspire to study at Chiba University's Faculty of Letters is because my experience managing the official social media account of a famous local tea shop during high school made me deeply realize that understanding human and social behavior patterns is key to effective regional communication. This realization inspired a strong desire to elevate practical experience into systemic theory, and ultimately, I resolved to become a public domain expert capable of revitalizing local organizations. A key reason I chose your university is its philosophy as a university rooted in the region. All my thoughts and origins stem from Chiba, and I hope to bring this understanding and passion from our shared roots into my university research, and use the results of my research to bring new vitality to this land."
"Wow..." Yui Yuigahama stared in disbelief. "What Yunshan said is the same thing I said, right? I guess so..."
"It's the same idea," Komachi Hikigaya succinctly, "But it's phrased much more politely."
Saki Kawasaki: "My writing was definitely no good."
"What he said wasn't very good either; it was too abstract and lacked concrete career planning and a deep understanding of the school." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "But as a first draft of his oral presentation, it was perfectly acceptable, and you all understood the specific meaning."
"Understood." Saki Kawasaki nodded. "After you finish writing it according to your own situation, ask your husband to help polish it."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Alright then."
Dong Yunshan chuckled, "It would be my honor."
"No, no." Komachi Hikigaya shook her head. "How can we rely entirely on Yunshan?"
Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze to that direction.
"After Yunshan finishes polishing..." Komachi Hikigaya smiled sweetly, "I'll need to trouble his wife to review it."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
"No, no." Yui Yuigahama shook her head as well.
Yukino Yukinoshita some surprise.
"Finally, you need to polish it a bit more yourself," Yui Yuigahama added. "It needs to have its own unique style; you can't just copy the whole thing."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
"Indeed," Dong Yunshan reminded him, "There will be an interview later, so you'll need to be able to explain yourself clearly."
"I'll finish the first draft before summer vacation, and I'll check it then." Yukino Yukinoshita roughly estimated the time. "Also, the midterm exams are very important, so we absolutely can't be careless."
"Okay, Yukino- chan~" Saki Kawasaki turned to look at Dong Yunshan, "Dad, would you like to say a few more words?"
"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "Eat well and sleep well."
--
Early in the morning, Yukino Yukinoshita woke up from her sleep, got up, put on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom, smelling the aroma of breakfast.
She went into the kitchen, kissed Dong Yunshan, slapped away his restless hand, washed up, changed into her school uniform, and after having breakfast with Yukino Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan, went to school together.
After the morning classes ended, we had lunch together in the activity room, rested for a while, and then continued with classes in the afternoon.
After school, we returned to the activity room and worked together to come up with statements of purpose and activity reports to prepare for the midterm exams.
On the way home, I bought groceries at the supermarket to take home, and after dinner, I continued studying for two hours.
Under the guidance and assistance of Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita began her daily training with Dong Yunshan.
After exercising and working up a sweat, we went to the bathroom to shower and relax in the bathtub.
Then wash it again.
Wash it a little longer.
I dried my hair, tidied up the room a bit, and prepared lunchboxes for tomorrow morning.
Dong Yunshan replied to the various emails she received, checked the status of Cloud Flash Delivery, and sent the follow-up plan via email.
Yukino Yukinoshita chatted with her older sister for a while, sharing her current progress, listening to her sister's experience, making notes and annotations, and discussing the situation of Cloud Snow Tea, briefly offering some of her own thoughts for her sister's reference.
Finally, Dong Yunshan sat on the sofa with Yukino Yukinoshita in his arms. Yukino Yukinoshita hugged a panda plushie and searched for videos of cute cats on the computer. After watching them, she returned to her bedroom to rest, completely satisfied.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, so I've replaced my old quilt with a thinner one, and my old pajamas and nightgowns... with the faint fragrance of Yukino Yukinoshita's hair.
Resting her head on Dong Yunshan's shoulder, Yukino Yukinoshita slowly closed her eyes... Wait a minute.
Opening her eyes again, Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly and kissed Dong Yunshan on the cheek.
Okay, now I can sleep peacefully.
Yukino Yukinoshita gently shifted her position, adjusting herself to the most comfortable one.
It seems like it's still a little short.
Yukino Yukinoshita opened her eyes again, meeting Dong Yunshan's gentle gaze and an even gentler kiss.
"Mmm~" A soft, enchanting murmur escaped her lips Yukino Yukinoshita felt that she could sleep a little longer before going to sleep.
Chapter 894 Three-way Meeting
"I plan to apply through the AO Admissions, aiming for the Faculty of Law, Politics and Economics at Chiba University," Dong Yunshan answered succinctly. "I've already completed the first drafts of my statement of purpose and activity report, and I plan to attend Chiba University's open day during the summer break. Based on my interactions with professors, I'll make further revisions."
"Chiba University ..." The new homeroom teacher, Yuzuki, adjusted her round-framed glasses and flipped through the documents in her hand. "Hmm, having a goal from the beginning is a good thing—so... what are Shinonome Family ' thoughts?"
The three parties will meet in person.
This is a routine activity organized by the school at the end of the semester, with the participation of teachers, students, and guardians, to discuss various aspects such as students' learning progress, exam results, future prospects, life at school and at home, and club activities.
"It's fine for him to decide." Dong Yunyan sat to the side, arms crossed. "I haven't interfered with his decisions since junior high."
"I see..." Professor Yuzuki coughed lightly. "Well, the deviation score for the Faculty of Law, Politics and Economics is usually around 68, so the competitors are generally very strong. But with your grades, as long as you maintain your performance, you'll definitely be fine—is there anything else you'd like me to answer?"
"I have none left." Dong Yunshan turned to look at Dong Yunyan.
"I have a question." Dong Yunyan leaned forward slightly, pulled his sunglasses down a little, rolled his eyes upward, and looked at Yuzuki- sensei. "Teacher, you seem very nervous. Did this kid do something?"
Ms. Yuzuki hurriedly waved her hands, "N-no... no..."
Unlike the long-haired Shizuka Hiratsuka, the short-haired Yuzuki -sensei is petite and looks more like a student who hasn't entered high school yet than a working high school teacher.
In this three-way conversation, the teacher's image was closer to that of a student.
"I've been preparing for the AO Selection all semester, I haven't taken a single day off, and I haven't done anything else," Dong Yunshan reminded him. "Shouldn't you look for the reasons within yourself?"
"Hmm?" Dong Yunyan glanced at his black shirt. "Is there a problem?"
Dong Yunshan: "At least take off your sunglasses."
"Oh." Dong Yunyan took off his sunglasses, revealing fierce eyes.
Ms. Yuzuki flinched. "Um... it's okay, but it's better to wear them..."
Dong Yunyan: "..."
"Actually, I was a little worried at first, after all, what happened at the farewell ceremony." Yuzuki-sensei composed herself. "Although the method was inappropriate, I don't think it was wrong. It was a manifestation of the teacher-student relationship between Shinonome Hiratsuka Yuzuki -senpai. During the time I was his homeroom teacher, he never behaved badly and even helped me with a lot of work."
At this point, Professor Yuzuki paused, then added, "By the way, I can help you contact Professor Tachibana. His research field is economics, so you can get in touch with him beforehand."
"Thank you, teacher." Dong Yunshan saved the professor's contact information.
"Oh, right, Shinonome- kun." As the three-way meeting was about to end, Yuzuki- sensei remembered another important matter, "Next semester we need to work hard for university, and we should also prepare well for the clubs."
"Ah..." Dong Yunshan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Mm."
-
"Is the Service Club... coming to an end?" Yui Yuigahama heavy heart, her expression downcast.
She was in a good mood because the three-way talks went very smoothly.
Then the homeroom teacher brought up club matters...
"That's how it is in third grade." Komachi Hikigaya patted Yui Yuigahama's head. "I quit the Film Research Club during midterms."
"Yui Yuigahama means is that the Film Research Club still has new members to keep working hard, but the Service Club ..." Saki Kawasaki pointed out the key point, "After everyone leaves, it's really over."
"Now that you mention it..." Komachi Hikigaya realized, "The Service Club hasn't had any new members joining at all."
"The Service Club's motto is 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' Without the corresponding awareness, joining rashly will only harm yourself and others." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. "This club was originally a place for Teacher Hiratsuka to help students with troubles. Now that Teacher Hiratsuka has resigned, it's naturally time for this club to end."
"Is it really over...?" Yui Yuigahama softly, then, realizing the awkward atmosphere, she immediately perked up. "No, it's more like a sublimation! We can continue running the Service Club in college!"
"That's right!" Komachi Hikigaya laughed. "This time, I'm really going to join."
"The Service Club won't end," Dong Yunshan chuckled, "But will usher in a new beginning."
"That's right!" The door to the activity room opened, Iroha Isshiki walked in triumphantly. "I'm all ready."
Yui Yuigahama looked over in confusion. "Ready...?"
"Ta-da!" Iroha Isshiki took out a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.
The first thing that catches the eye is [Service Club President: Iroha Isshiki].
Below are the names of other people.
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked. "You're going to take over the Service Club?"
"That's right, how can such a problem that can help me solve end like this?" Iroha Isshiki. "After you retire, I will continue to run the Service Club."
"Is this really okay?" Yui Yuigahama asked with concern. "You're the Student Council, the manager of the Soccer Club, and now..."
"I've handed over the position of Soccer Club manager to someone else." Iroha Isshiki glanced to the side. "Well... it should have been handed over to someone else a long time ago."
"There's also the issue of membership," Saki Kawasaki cautioned. "Insufficient members will lead to the club's disbandment."
"As the Student Council, I do have this much power," Iroha Isshiki said with Iroha Isshiki snort, hands on her hips. "You can all relax and enjoy your activities in the activity room. After you leave, I will continue to maintain the Service Club, and even if no new members join, I will hand it over to the next Student Council Service Club."
Yui Yuigahama hugged Iroha Isshiki with emotion. "Iroha..."
"I doubt any Student Council could refuse a club that can help solve problems, and an activity room where I can slack off, right?" Iroha Isshiki smiled mischievously, "Hehe~"
Yui Yuigahama: "... Iroha?"
--
Summer temperatures rise and humidity is high, so even with air conditioning on, people often feel lethargic.
Sitting on the soft sofa, you can easily fall asleep without even realizing it.
Even when sitting on the warm floor, one should change locations every now and then.
Seeing Dong Yunshan begin his daily workout, Yukino Yukinoshita also changed into sportswear and exercised with him.
I sweated a lot after just a little activity.
Take a shower after exercising...
Wash for a while longer.
Then...
Wash it again.
Waaaaaah~ Dong Yunshan is using a hairdryer to Yukino Yukinoshita's hair.
"At this time last year..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the Dong Yunshan in the mirror, "We should have been in the mountains."
"Supervising elementary school students' camping trips." Dong Yunshan gently blew on Yukino Yukinoshita's long hair, making it smooth and fluffy. "Rumi is in junior high school now, and I heard from her teachers that she's made a few friends through crafts."
"Sharing common interests is much easier than direct communication." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "You were interested in these things in middle school too?"
"Yes, I said I'd help, so I can't just give up halfway." Dong Yunshan put down the hairdryer. "Besides, it's not a particularly troublesome thing; I can just ask my friend from junior high to keep an eye out for it."
"You still had friends in junior high?"
"Teachers, school security guards, and the like," Dong Yunshan kissed Yukino Yukinoshita on the head. "Everyone has a very good impression of those Rumi."
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "She is very serious about what she does."
