Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Since the worst-case scenario is impossible, there's no need to worry about the rest." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment. "Actually, even if there are axemen, it's fine. I'll just use you as a hostage and fight my way out."

"Everyone says it's impossible..." Yukino Yukinoshita's pink cheeks puffed out slightly.

"We still need to be careful. Bring some gifts with you, and try to avoid any physical contact if possible." Dong Yunshan said seriously, "What does she like?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "No need to prepare a gift."

"I can't just eat it for free." Dong Yunshan suddenly had an idea, and her eyes lit up. "I'll give the cheese I made to Auntie."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly; she felt this suggestion was actually quite good.

Things made by hand are naturally suitable as gifts.

Infected by Dong Yunshan's relaxed attitude, Yukino Yukinoshita also lost her initial panic.

But... she looked at Dong Yunshan's profile.

Why isn't the Dong Yunshan panicking?

"Oh right, I also need to bring some clothes," Dong Yunshan murmured. "French cuisine has quite a few rules."

Oh right... Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly remembered.

Dong Yunshan runs a Odd Jobs Agency, and when we first met, he even had a formal suit on.

He should be very experienced in this kind of situation.

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little more at ease. "Let's go choose now."

"This won't do." Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her small fists, trying to stuff them into Dong Yunshan's buttoned-up suit. "Change to something else."

"Pretty much," Dong Yunshan said, stretching a bit. "It fits quite well."

"Raise your hand," Yukino Yukinoshita commanded. "Push harder."

Dong Yunshan did as instructed.

Yukino Yukinoshita poked his chest. "It gets bigger when you push."

Dong Yunshan changed her movements a couple more times. Although she wasn't exactly tense, the wrinkles that appeared when she moved weren't very attractive either. "It's not easy even without exerting much force."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, then changed into several more items, including seven or eight more, before nodding in satisfaction.

She had already chosen this color once before.

"As for ties..." Yukino Yukinoshita selected two, pressed them against Dong Yunshan's chest, and carefully compared them. "This one won't do... this one doesn't suit either..."

Her gaze swept over the other ties, Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Adding a tie is too formal," Dong Yunshan said, unbuttoning a button. "Would this be better?"

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, "This one will do."

He then prepared to pay.

Dong Yunshan stopped her. "I can do it myself."

"This is what I chose." Yukino Yukinoshita slapped his hand away. "If you want to buy it, choose it yourself."

Dong Yunshan was stunned, almost unable to grasp the logic behind it.

"In that case," Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered, "In the future..."

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Dong Yunshan, as if she could see the thoughts surfacing in his mind. "What about the future?"

"We'll talk about the future later," Dong Yunshan said, avoiding her gaze.

Shopping was over, and it was time for the appointment.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the dimly lit space faintly echoed with the sound of a piano.

"I'm Yukinoshita made a reservation."

Led by the waiter, the two went to a four-person table in the innermost corner.

Seasonal flowers adorn the pure white tablecloth, and candlelight flickers quietly in the center of the table.

In the dim light, the two beautiful women at the table appeared even more elegant.

Yukinoshita's mother, dressed in Yukinoshita, paused briefly on Dong Yunshan before turning to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Wearing a dress, Haruno Yukinoshita ignored the quiet and elegant atmosphere and waved, "Hello~"

Dong Yunshan pulled out a chair, and after Yukino Yukinoshita sat down, he sat down in the seat on the left.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the time. "You're here early."

Yukinoshita's mother unfolded her folding fan and chuckled softly, "Yes, I was so excited that I came early."

"I'm really looking forward to it too~" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes darted around.

"Good evening, Shinonome- kun." Yukinoshita's mother smiled gently. "Yukino has excellent taste."

Yukino's gaze sharpened slightly Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I also feel this outfit suits me very well." Dong Yunshan handed over the gift box. "This is cheese we made on our ranch."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yukinoshita's mother waved her folding fan, and a waiter put the gift away. "I've been wanting to meet you for a while now, so meeting you here is a dream come true."

Volume 5, May Holidays: Chapter 187 Table Manners

"I should have come to visit you sooner." Dong Yunshan unfolded and folded her napkin, placing it on her lap. "The Service Club really enjoys helping people fulfill their wishes."

"It's about helping people gain the ability to fulfill their wishes," Yukino Yukinoshita corrected. "Don't confuse the two."

"Yes, Minister," Dong Yunshan replied with a smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but glare at Dong Yunshan for his perfunctory attitude.

"Let's stop our chat here. You must be hungry by now, so let's start eating." Yukinoshita's mother closed her folding fan, looking at Dong Yunshan with some excitement. "Since it's a set meal, if you feel it's not enough, you can order more. After all, boys have big appetites."

"Ah, if you don't mind, we can order now." Yukinoshita's mother picked up the menu. "Would you like to see the menu?"

"Let's eat the set meal first." Dong Yunshan glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita beside her.

He might have to take care of Yukino's share when it Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I see..." Yukinoshita's mother lowered her eyebrows, looking at the menu in her hand with some disappointment.

They look so pitiful.

"Mom's so excited!" Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "Sorry, since we don't have any boys in our family, Mom isn't sure how much you guys can usually eat."

"I know about this kind of thing," Yukinoshita. "Boys this age usually have a big appetite."

Yukino Yukinoshita gently nudged Dong Yunshan: "Order some more, the portions here are very small."

In other words, Yukino Yukinoshita is able to finish her own portion.

Dong Yunshan nodded. "Then I'll take a look."

The mother's smile Yukinoshita elegant, but her eyes suddenly lit up with the joy of a young girl.

Dong Yunshan opened the menu, saw the pictures, frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to the waiter beside him.

Without a word, the moment their eyes met, the waiter silently approached, ready to listen.

Dong Yunshan tapped the picture on the menu. "Is it the same as the real thing?"

"Depending on the seasonal ingredients and the chef's condition, there will be some subtle differences."

Dong Yunshan pressed further, "And what about the portion size?"

"Basically the same, but the main course portion can be increased if needed. Bread can be refilled unlimitedly, and desserts can be stacked."

Dong Yunshan: "Then..."

"Don't be shy," Yukinoshita's mother said, as if she had guessed his thoughts. "Order more."

Dong Yunshan glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have suddenly thought of something and nodded vigorously.

This means you should definitely order more.

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow slightly: Are you sure?

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly and raised her hand to approach Dong Yunshan's waist. "I'm absolutely certain."

It's at the level of a Level 1 warning.

Dong Yunshan pointed to the menu, "Well... this, this, and this."

Three paths... The excitement in Yukinoshita's mother's eyes cooled slightly.

There weren't as many as she had expected, but at least three more dishes were ordered.

Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan with a meaningful expression.

She knew Dong Yunshan's appetite, but she didn't expect Dong Yunshan to only order three more dishes.

Sure enough, although she didn't seem nervous, Dong Yunshan was actually quite uneasy.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, about to ask Dong Yunshan to add more, when she noticed the position of Dong Yunshan's finger, paused for a moment, and then opened her small mouth in surprise.

Wait, could it be that...

"Give me one," Dong Yunshan added, "Besides these three."

"You mean..." the waiter asked, his eyes widening.

Dong Yunshan waved the menu in his hand. "Any other menu items?"

"... That's all." The waiter regained his composure. "Please wait a moment."

Yukinoshita's mother stared blankly at Dong Yunshan: "A book?"

"Try them first and see which one tastes best." Dong Yunshan said without changing his expression, "Please excuse my poor attempt."

"Pfft, hahahahaha!" Haruno Yukinoshita burst into laughter. "As expected of you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath.

Yukinoshita's mother raised her glass. "It's good to have an appetite."

Only Yukinoshita's mother, who was of drinking age, was present; she was drinking white wine.

Everyone else had oolong tea in their cups.

After the toasts, appetizers were served.

The huge plate was filled with scallops and sweet shrimp, arranged tightly together, complemented by the garnish sauce, creating a picture-perfect scene.

The kind with lots of white space.

The mother smiled gently at Yukinoshita and said, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

She showed no sign of starting anything, quietly watching Dong Yunshan.

Haruno Yukinoshita, standing beside her, also wore a smile but showed no intention of starting to eat.

There are three forks on the left side of the appetizer, three knives on the right side, and a spoon to the right of the knives.

There is also a fork and a spoon on top of the plate.

There's also a knife in the upper left corner.

So... which one should we use?

Yukino Yukinoshita, and she reached out for the knife and fork first.

"By the way, Yukino," Yukinoshita's mother suddenly spoke up, "How's school been lately?"

"Uh, well..." Yukino Yukinoshita stopped what she was doing, "I guess it's... normal."

"What about club activities?" Yukinoshita's mother looked at Dong Yunshan with a smile. "Shinonome, don't worry about it, just enjoy yourself."

Dong Yunshan smiled and extended her hand as well.

Almost at the same instant, his other hand touched his leg first.

6 Dong Yunshan glanced to the side, then picked up the outermost knife and fork.

7. Haruno Yukinoshita's cheeks puffed out slightly, revealing an expression of a failed prank.

"They don't seem to be the same age," Yukinoshita's mother smiled. "Do they know each other through family elders?"
