Yukinoshita's Correction Method

After returning home and putting down her shopping bags, Dong Yunshan casually turned on the humidifier.

Yukino Yukinoshita went into the bedroom to change her clothes, and Dong Yunshan followed to help her.

"I feel..." Yui Yuigahama tilted her head in confusion Yui Yuigahama she watched the two enter the bedroom. "Little Yukino seems perfectly normal."

"I feel like the strange things about you are always so strange..." Komachi Hikigaya a complicated expression, "And the fact that I can understand things so quickly seems strange too."

Saki Kawasaki: "You actually know what she meant by that seemingly random thing she said?"

"When I was researching pregnancy-related topics online, I found that many pregnant women experience mood swings, being prone to crying and irritability. But today while shopping, Yukino's mood remained very stable, not much different from before her pregnancy—so Yui Yuigahama finds it strange." Komachi Hikigaya looked at Yui Yuigahama, "Is that so?"

Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously. "That's right!"

"You actually understand... Her habit of omitting words is probably something you've spoiled her with." Saki Kawasaki shook her head. "It's true that hormonal changes causing mood swings are common, but everyone's constitution is different. For example, Yukino's early pregnancy symptoms were very mild, which is also a reflection of her constitution."

"I see." Yui Yuigahama Yunshan's serious condition, if he were to become pregnant, would his emotions change drastically?"

Saki Kawasaki: "... Most likely."

Komachi Hikigaya patted Yui Yuigahama on the shoulder. "As expected of you, only you could ask such a question."

"Aren't you curious?" Yui Yuigahama -factly. "Yunshan's emotions have always been incredibly stable. Have you ever seen him get angry, upset, or even cry from sadness?"

Saki Kawasaki recalled for a moment, "It seems there really isn't one."

"He's hit people before," Komachi Hikigaya thought, "Do you remember that time at the family restaurant?"

"Oh! Yes, there was one time, not counting the judo match, just that one time." Yui Yuigahama remembered too, "But Yunshan's anger that time was just an act."

"Huh?" Saki Kawasaki had never heard of this before. "There's such a thing?"

"At the end of first year, before you joined the Service Club," Yui Yuigahama explained with exaggerated gestures, "... I was really shocked back then. I never imagined someone could actually kick another person so high."

Saki Kawasaki rarely showed such a surprised expression. "If I had known the Service Club was this interesting, I would have joined long ago."

"So..." Komachi Hikigaya murmured, "It seems like no one has ever seen Yunshan lose control of her emotions?"

Yui Yuigahama tilted her head. "Does the time we divorced and broke up before count?"

"Hmm... not really." Komachi Hikigaya hesitated for a moment, "At least it wasn't very obvious."

"Really..." Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but wonder, "How did they do that?"

Komachi Hikigaya's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were deep in thought.

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita came out of the bedroom, attracting everyone's attention.

With a cute blush on her face, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed everyone looking over and immediately asked, "What are you talking about?"

"More than the topic you used to change the subject," Saki Kawasaki blinked, "I'm curious about what you guys did."

Her face is blushing...

"Yukino's back is a little sore." Dong Yunshan helped Yukino Yukinoshita sit down. "I rubbed it for her."

First, I rubbed it, then kissed it from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.

Yui Yuigahama briefly summarized. "We were just talking about Yunshan's pregnancy~"

"So they were talking about..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression froze, and she turned her gaze to Dong Yunshan's stomach. "What were they talking about?"

Dong Yunshan: "How come I didn't know about this?"

"Who taught you to summarize it like that?" Saki Kawasaki- sensei would be furious if she heard that."

Komachi Hikigaya laughed and explained, "Yui Yuigahama is just curious. Your pregnancy is going on so badly, what would it be like if you actually got pregnant?"

Dong Yunshan: "... It's a question that Yui Yuigahama will ask."

Yui Yuigahama: "Huh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, and she suddenly chuckled softly.

She pursed her lips, trying to control herself, but ended up laughing out loud again.

"Let me guess..." Dong Yunshan lifted his shirt, revealing his clearly defined eight-pack abs, "What do you imagine in your mind what my abs will look like when my belly gets bigger and they're stretched out too?"

"And the breasts look engorged..." Yukino Yukinoshita laughed halfway through her sentence, holding onto Dong Yunshan's shoulders and burying her face in his neck, while pulling down his shirt with her other hand to cover his abs.

"Pfft!" Yui Yuigahama turned her head to the side. "I-I'm sorry... I couldn't help it..."

The images in her mind were too vivid; Komachi Hikigaya covered her face, her shoulders trembling.

Saki Kawasaki opened her mouth, trying to prevent the corners of her mouth from turning up, and looked up at the ceiling, blinking hard.

Dong Yunshan: "Laugh if you want to."

The girls couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

After listening to everyone talk about their university experiences, Dong Yunshan went into the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Others offered to help, but Dong Yunshan refused.

Rather than having someone help out, Dong Yunshan would prefer everyone to chat about interesting topics and make Yukino Yukinoshita smile happily.

Salt-baked mackerel provides DHA; ginger-braised pork is rich in easily absorbed heme iron, which can effectively prevent iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy, and ginger can relieve some mild stomach discomfort; teriyaki chicken thigh provides protein, and removing the skin during cooking reduces unnecessary oil intake; sesame-dressed spinach is refreshing and delicious, spinach is an excellent source of folic acid and iron, and sesame is rich in calcium, making it perfect for Yukino Yukinoshita right now.

There's also stewed potatoes with meat, cold tofu salad, clam miso soup, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), oden...

As the sumptuous meal was served, a similar look of nostalgia appeared on everyone's faces.

"I used to love eating out," Yui Yuigahama happily, taking several bites and nodding repeatedly. "Now, when I think of eating out, the first thing that comes to mind is coming to you guys."

"You're welcome anytime." Yukino Yukinoshita said with a cute little bit of pride. After all, she was the one who taught Dong Yunshan how to cook. "Come back whenever you want to eat."

Saki Kawasaki: "She used to resemble my mother, but now she really is..."

"Yes," Dong Yunshan remarked somewhat affectedly, "It's like just yesterday the kids were in college."

Then Yukino Yukinoshita patted him on the shoulder.

As they ate and chatted, they gradually realized something was amiss.

Faced with the sumptuous meal, Yukino Yukinoshita tried a little of each dish, but only a little.

"Little Yukino," Yui Yuigahama asked with concern, "Are you not having a good appetite?"

"A little bit." Yukino Yukinoshita and leaned closer to Dong Yunshan. "Almost."

Komachi Hikigaya looked puzzled. "What's almost... almost?"

"It's nothing, you guys eat." Dong Yunshan put down her chopsticks, got up, and left the table.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Dong Yunshan began... to stand upside down.

With her hands supporting her on the floor, Dong Yunshan bent her arms and lowered her body.

Then straighten your arms to support your body.

At the top of the handstand, they began to alternately raise their knees.

Within just two or three minutes, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Returning to the table, Dong Yunshan opened her arms.

Yukino Yukinoshita closer, took a deep breath, and bit his shoulder again, nodding contentedly. "Mmm~ much better."

"That's good~ You guys eat, I'll be right back." After saying that, Dong Yunshan went to the bedroom to get two pieces of clothing and went into the bathroom.

Hearing the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom and seeing Yukino Yukinoshita eating at a completely different speed than before, the girls' confusion became even more apparent.

"This..." Yui Yuigahama looked at the bathroom, then at Yukino Yukinoshita, "Huh?"

"The smell of sweat?" Komachi Hikigaya. "Does smelling it improve your appetite?"

Saki Kawasaki added, "Does it need to be concentrated enough to be effective?"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed. "That's reasonable."

"That's right." Yui Yuigahama nodded repeatedly. "I've checked, and this situation is completely reasonable. There are even more unimaginable needs."

"That's not what I meant. There's actually scientific evidence for it." Yukino Yukinoshita took a couple more bites before explaining in detail, "The vomiting center and the olfactory center in the brain are adjacent to each other. When a strong but familiar and non-threatening odor appears, it can temporarily occupy the olfactory processing channel and suppress the odor signals that make me feel nauseous and lose my appetite."

"Your sense of smell has been rebooted?" Komachi Hikigaya suddenly realized. "Because the Yunshan often exercise at home, you remember their scent after they sweat, which becomes a unique safety signal that can distract your brain."

"There's also the pheromone factor," Yukino Yukinoshita added, blushing. "When you smell your partner's scent, your brain releases trace amounts of oxytocin, creating a sense of security and lowering stress hormones."

"Then why did he go to take a shower?" Saki Kawasaki pressed. "Wouldn't it have been better to just keep smelling it?"

"No," Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, "It won't be fresh in a little while."

"Huh... fresh?" Yui Yuigahama's big eyes were full of confusion. "The smell of sweat is fresher? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a fresh idea."

"The smell changes when sweat cools down," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "The effect won't be as good then."

"So if he has a poor appetite, you need to make him exercise and sweat, then smell his body," Komachi Hikigaya summarized simply. "But it must be fresh sweat, and he has to wash himself off immediately afterward."

"Yes, it has to be his scent." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "So the bath products have to be unscented."

Saki Kawasaki: "It actually makes perfect sense..."

"At first, I thought such a strange request was strange, so it wasn't strange at all." Yui Yuigahama looked confused. "But after hearing your explanation, it seems reasonable and not so strange, so it feels strange again."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked even more confused than Yui Yuigahama.

"You probably didn't understand..." Saki Kawasaki sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "Don't worry, I didn't understand either."

"Yui Yuigahama saw online that many pregnant women have strange ideas during pregnancy, and it seems you're the same as before you got pregnant, without any strange needs, so it's a bit odd," Komachi Hikigaya explained. "Then, seeing your strange behavior just now, it doesn't seem strange that you have strange needs anymore. And then..."

"I see." Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly understood. "It's not that pregnant women all have strange needs, but rather that strange needs are more discussed online, so they're more likely to be seen. Besides, many seemingly strange needs have their own reasonable internal logic, and once you understand it, they're not strange at all."

Saki Kawasaki wholeheartedly agreed, "Just like the strange questions Yui Yuigahama asked, once you understand the underlying logic like Komachi did, they become reasonable questions."

"Was my question really that strange?" Yui Yuigahama innocently. "It was all perfectly reasonable."

Saki Kawasaki: "Before Komachi's explanation, it was in a superposition of strange and reasonable states."

Yui Yuigahama: "..."

"What are you talking about?" Dong Yunshan dried her hair and returned to the dining table.

"We were talking about what just happened," Yukino Yukinoshita asked softly. "Do you feel I have any strange needs?"

"Strange demands? No, I don't think so..." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "Does it count if I think my right arm is too thick?"

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, "This is indeed a bit strange."

Saki Kawasaki glanced at it; due to the recent workout, Dong Yunshan's arms were more swollen than usual. "Not surprising, right? They are indeed a bit too thick... but it's understandable."

Yui Yuigahama: "This is definitely the kind of arm that can twist your thigh."

Yukino Yukinoshita's face suddenly flushed.

Yui Yuigahama keenly noticed Dong Yunshan's choice of words. "Only complaining about his right arm being too thick?"

"Before, when we slept, he was always on my right, and I rested my head on his left arm." Yukino Yukinoshita brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. "But sleeping on my left side is better during pregnancy, and I like to sleep facing him..."

"So I slept on her left, and she could only rest her head on my right arm," Dong Yunshan gestured, "But my right arm is a bit thicker..."

"It seems Komachi Hikigaya murmured. "The experience is definitely different."

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "Actually, it's not that different... but I feel inexplicably uncomfortable."

Saki Kawasaki's curiosity was piqued. "So how did you solve it in the end? There's no way to make your arms thinner in a short time, right?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's face flushed.

The method is actually very simple: if you feel uncomfortable, just do something that makes you feel comfortable.

"Well..." Dong Yunshan had barely uttered a word when he noticed his wife's embarrassed and warning gaze beside him. He smiled and gave his answer, "Taking a break from training for a while will be fine."

Chapter 934 No way to refute it

Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to eat her tamagoyaki.

That's right, the solution is that simple.

As for what Dong Yunshan did while lying on her left... that's just part of their daily life as a couple.

"I believe this solution is very effective," Saki Kawasaki said, glancing sideways, "If Yukino weren't so blushing."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

"By the way," Dong Yunshan placed a piece of chicken leg on Yukino Yukinoshita, "How's university life going?"
