Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 558

"Hmm? I just trimmed it for you a while ago, it's the same length as before." Dong Yunshan looked up, "Would you like it cut a little shorter?"

"Probably..." Yukino Yukinoshita gestured with her hand on her shoulder, then moved her hand up a little to below her ear, "How about this?"

"That's quite a leap." Dong Yunshan paused in her work. "Are you trying out short hair... or is it something easier?"

"Lingling likes to pull her hair..." Yukino Yukinoshita twirled the ends of her hair with her slender fingers, "And with hair this long, washing and conditioning takes a long time."

"If you want to cut your hair short, I'm all for it. My wife is so beautiful, she looks good with both long and short hair." Dong Yunshan combed through Yukino Yukinoshita's hair with his fingers. "If it's for taking care of the baby, then we can try tying her hair up, using the hairpin I made for you before. Then when she notices Lingling pulling her hair, I'll pick her up and take her away, and she'll gradually learn."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan in the mirror. "But every time you wash me, it takes you so long..."

Before having a baby, it wasn't a big deal, but after having a baby, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want Dong Yunshan to spend her precious rest time washing and caring for her hair.

"I really enjoy taking care of your hair." Dong Yunshan gently kissed her head. "Do you know why?"

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, "Because my hair is very long, I take a shower while I wash my hair, and you can do a lot of things while you're showering."

Dong Yunshan chuckled softly, "We're being serious now."

"Hmph~" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, "Now you know how to be serious?"

"Your long hair was beautiful even before I helped you with the treatment, which means you've put in a lot of effort to care for it. This long hair is proof of your past efforts and a testament to your careful nurturing." Dong Yunshan felt the wonderful sensation of the hair slipping through her palms. "Your willingness to entrust this long hair to me for washing and care shows your trust and reliance on me—I love the feeling of being entrusted with this by you."

"When I take care of my hair, I often feel annoyed and frustrated." Yukino Yukinoshita turned and gazed into his eyes. "It's normal for you to feel annoyed and frustrated... Don't try to suppress or ignore your feelings."

"Of course I feel annoyed and frustrated sometimes, but that feeling only lasts for a moment." Dong Yunshan blinked. "Because you're taking a shower while I'm washing my hair, and I can do so many things while I'm showering."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her, puffing out her cheeks. "You're being inappropriate again~"

"Seriously speaking..." Dong Yunshan tucked her soft hair behind her ear, tilted his head, and kissed her cheek. "I like you~"

"I like it even more~" Yukino Yukinoshita pouted her cherry lips, turned around, hugged his neck, and kissed his lips.

Chapter 946 First Birthday First-Birthday Selection")

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, gently spilling into the bedroom.

Dong Yunshan's ears twitched, and she quietly opened her eyes to look at the crib beside the bed.

Having just woken up, Dong Yunling gripped the crib railing and clumsily got up little by little, eventually standing up.

A ten-month-old baby can not only crawl very quickly, but also pull himself up to stand and move around while holding onto furniture.

Thankfully, the crib rails are high enough, otherwise she might have fallen out.

Keeping a close eye on her daughter, Dong Yunshan remained silent.

You must not make eye contact, and you must not respond verbally.

If the baby doesn't get a response, they might lie down and continue sleeping.

If they respond... it will take a long time to coax them.

"Ah... Ahh!" Lingling gripped the railing, making muffled sounds.

With no response, the noise grew louder and louder.

Dong Yunshan: "..." It seems she won't be going to continue sleeping.

Gently lifting Yukino Yukinoshita's head, he carefully withdrew his arm.

Dong Yunshan sat up, took her daughter out of the crib, and gently comforted her, "Lingling's awake?"

"Ahhh..." Lingling squirmed in Dong Yunshan's arms, her little hands reaching towards Yukino Yukinoshita, "Ah~"

The sound got a little louder.

Dong Yunshan gently patted his daughter. "Look, Daddy's here!"

"Ah~~~" Dong Yunling's voice grew a little louder.

Dong Yunshan originally wanted Yukino Yukinoshita to sleep a little longer, but Lingling clearly wanted to spend more time with her mother right now.

If this noise continues, Yukino Yukinoshita won't be able to sleep anymore.

Dong Yunshan could only take out her phone to record the scene of her precious daughter being held by her father and still trying to get her mother's attention, and then show it to Yukino Yukinoshita to cheer her up.

Dong Yunshan put Lingling on the bed and used her phone to film the baby's clumsy movements.

Lingling crawled towards Yukino Yukinoshita, and lay down next to her, her big eyes gazing intently at her mother.

With the warm baby nestled beside her, and the sounds from before causing Yukino Yukinoshita's eyelashes to flutter, she slowly opened her eyes, meeting the baby's focused gaze.

Yukino Yukinoshita, and when she saw Lingling's cute smiling face, she was stunned for a moment, then panicked a little, worried that the baby had crawled out of the crib.

That would be dangerous.

Turning her gaze to see Dong Yunshan awake, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately felt relieved and gently touched the baby's little hand with her fingertips. "Lingling, good morning--"

"Mommy~" Lingling responded with a smile.

"Hmm~ I'm your mom~" Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled.

The baby can already make "mother" sounds, and Yukino Yukinoshita is already used to it... Huh?

Yukino Yukinoshita froze, then asked incredulously, "Lingling, are you calling me?"

"Mom... Mom~" Lingling grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita's finger and called out happily.

"Yes, Mommy's here." Yukino Yukinoshita hugged her daughter tightly. "Lingling can call me Mommy now... That's amazing~"

She can no longer just say "mama," she can now call out "mama."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes reddened as she gently patted her daughter in her arms and pointed to Dong Yunshan: "Lingling, look at Daddy."

Lingling blinked her eyes and opened her little mouth, "Dad, Daddy~"

"...!!!" Dong Yunshan almost dropped her phone, her body swaying excitedly as she leaned closer to encourage her, "Lingling, say it again~"

Lingling: "Daddy~"

"Hey~ sweet baby~" Dong Yunshan took several deep breaths before finally calming down, and said in as steady a voice as possible to avoid startling the baby, "Call me Daddy~"

Lingling tilted her head. "Daddy?"

"Ahhhhhh~" Dong Yunshan cheered in the softest voice, then moved closer again, "Call me Daddy~"

Lingling was clearly a little unwilling, and whispered, "Daddy..."

Dong Yunshan gave her daughter a big kiss on the cheek. "Mua~"

"Waaaaaahhhhhh..." Lingling cried, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."

"Look at you..." Yukino Yukinoshita hugged her daughter and patted her gently, complaining irritably.

"I got a little too excited..." Dong Yunshan patted her face to calm herself down. "This feeling is completely different from before."

"It really is different." Yukino Yukinoshita felt the same way as him. She looked down at the baby in her arms, wanting to make her call out a few more times, but found that Lingling, who had been crying just now, had fallen asleep against her.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at Dong Yunshan: "Lingling hasn't had enough sleep yet, why did you bring her out?"

"That's not how she and I are," Dong Yunshan said, showing evidence. "Look."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Really..."

"So why?" Dong Yunshan asked, puzzled. "She hadn't slept enough and kept babbling to me, but then she came to you and immediately quieted down."

"She wanted to keep sleeping, but she didn't want to sleep alone," Yukino Yukinoshita said softly. "So I woke you up so you could carry her to my side."

Dong Yunshan was somewhat incredulous. "You've thought this far in just ten months?"

"She already understands cause and effect, and she thinks about many things, but it's not as complicated as you think," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "She first woke up, but wasn't quite rested, and was dissatisfied with her current sleeping environment. She didn't know what to do, but she knew that making a sound would get her help."

"Then I picked her up, but she was still not satisfied." Dong Yunshan followed Yukino Yukinoshita's train of thought, "Then she saw you and wanted to go to your side."

"After she came into my arms, she remembered about sleeping, so she fell asleep." Yukino Yukinoshita gently stroked Lingling. "She was thinking things through piecemeal, not like you think, with a whole plan."

"That's good." Dong Yunshan kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Thinking things out piecemeal is cute, but making a complete plan is clever."

"Hmm~~~" Lingling frowned, wriggled, and snuggled into her mother's arms, "Mommy..."

"Mom's here~" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan, "The baby's asleep, why are you disturbing her?"

"Then I'll bother you for a moment, Mom." Dong Yunshan kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's cheek. "Smart and lovely Mom~"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly. "Go wash up~"

"Mmm." Dong Yunshan got up and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing Xue's mother in the living room, he immediately shared happily, "Mother-in-law, Lingling can say 'Papa' and 'Mama' now!"

"You learn so fast~" Snow Mother nodded with a smile, her gaze towards Dong Yunshan slightly complicated.

"... Huh?" Dong Yunshan asked, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to disturb your happiness right now..." Snow's mother hesitated for a moment, "But after a while, hearing it again will give me a headache."

"Ah... that's true." Dong Yunshan suddenly realized, then her smile widened. "So I should be even happier now, before my headache starts!"

Snow Mother paused for a moment, then her admiration deepened. "... Yes."

--

"Yay~" Yui Yuigahama greeted cheerfully, "We're here!"

"Welcome, welcome." Dong Yunshan accepted the gift from Saki Kawasaki. "You always buy so much. It seems like telling you a few times won't make a difference."

"It's not just gifts," Iroha Isshiki handed over the shopping bag she was carrying, "There are also lots of snacks for everyone to enjoy together."

Komachi Hikigaya added, "And fruit too~"

"Okay..." Dong Yunshan took it all. "The timing is perfect; we just finished preparing."

"Over here, over here~" Haruno Yukinoshita waved, "Come and see what we're missing."

"You're here~" Iroha Isshiki walked over quickly, "Long time no see, Sister Haruno ~"

"I've been pretty busy lately." Haruno Yukinoshita ruffled Iroha Isshiki's hair. "Once you're old enough to drink, let's get together more often."

Shizuka Hiratsuka gave her a sideways glance. "Teach her something good."

"No problem." Iroha Isshiki nodded vigorously. "Next year I can drink! I'll get drunk with Sister Haruno then."

Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at her again. "Learn something good."

"Well, well~" Dong Yunjin patted Shizuka Hiratsuka's shoulder, "Everyone goes through this phase. The more you're told not to drink, the more you want to. You'll know how awful drinking is after you get drunk a few times."

"I'd wake up with a headache, vowing never to drink again," Snow's mother sighed. "Then, after a while, I'd get completely drunk again."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "... There always has to be a process."

"Uh... Lingling is so pretty~" Yui Yuigahama skillfully changed the subject, "She's already one year old in the blink of an eye."

"Grandma specially prepared this outfit for me," Dong Yunjin chuckled. "She asked me to help her figure it out a long time ago."

"After all, it was a surprise prepared in advance. I know Yukino's preferences, but I don't know much about Yunshan's." Yukino's mother pressed her fingers to her temples as if she had a headache. "Turns out you don't know much about it either."

"I don't know what kind of girl Yunshan likes..." Dong Yunjin poked her son, "But I know that what Yukino likes, Yunshan will definitely like too, right?"

Dong Yunshan nodded vigorously. "That's right."

Saki Kawasaki's eyes flickered, feeling that fate was truly wondrous.

Two mothers with such different styles of doing things have raised children who are together at such a young age.

The child is already one year old.

Komachi Hikigaya took out her phone to take pictures, capturing the beautiful golden screen behind Lingling, the colorful balloons, and the banner that read "Happy First Birthday."

Dressed in her Lingling, Lingling curiously observed everyone, blinking her big eyes repeatedly.

"Oh right, I haven't checked what's missing yet." Iroha Isshiki looked at the various items laid out on the red cloth. "Pen, book, abacus, wallet, ruler, rice spoon, microphone, stethoscope, comb, stamp, ball..."

Komachi Hikigaya asked, "Did you notice anything's missing?"

"I discovered..." Iroha Isshiki's expression froze for a moment, "I didn't know what to put in the first place."

"I think I did that when I was little..." Yui Yuigahama smiled sheepishly, "But I've completely forgotten about it now."

Saki Kawasaki wanted to say to Yuki's mother and Dong Yunjin, "These are the same things I prepared for my younger siblings..."

"I also feel that's about enough," Dong Yunjin said, shrugging. "But Grandma feels there's something else we can add."

"These were all prepared by us elders," Xue's mother explained. "Times have changed; it seems you young people have more innovative ideas."

"I remember the pen represents a writer, the abacus represents business and finance, the wallet represents wealth, the ruler represents craftsmanship, and the rice scoop represents a gourmet or chef..." Komachi Hikigaya murmured, "Hmm, it seems like they are all relatively traditional directions."

"I prepared this." Haruno Yukinoshita took out a Little Snowflake badge and placed it on the red cloth. "It represents my potential future work in new media platforms."
