Yukinoshita's Correction Method

I've had migraines before, but this is the first time I've had this kind of neuralgia.

As I was writing, I suddenly felt a pain, a physical pain that made me twitch... I forgot everything I was thinking about.

Volume 3: Spring Break Ending: Chapter 94: Leaving the Kitchen

"Very close." Dong Yunshan coaxed, "Brother~Brother~"

Baby Xi: “Hey.”

Dong Yunshan vaguely sensed something was wrong: "Brother?"

Baby Xi: “Hey.”

Dong Yunshan: “…”

"Good news." Yukinoshita Yukino's lips curled up, "Although she hasn't learned to call people yet, she already knows how to respond."

Dong Yunshan was helpless: "Did I teach it wrong?"

"We should teach her simpler words," Yukinoshita Yukino approached, "Da Da~"

Dong Yunxi waved her little hands, "Da Da!"

"Really?" Yuigahama Yui heard it clearly, "Xukino is really amazing. She learns it in no time."

"No, no, no, Xixi usually shouts 'da da'." Dong Yunshan discovered the blind spot, "I can do it with you, Xixi, ah~"

Dong Yunxi opened her mouth in cooperation: "Ah!"

"See." Dong Yunshan spread his hands. "What did I say?"

"......" Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him, "Then change to something else."

That being said, what is there that Dong Yunxi can learn quickly?

Of course it cannot be complicated, and the speech cannot be too difficult.

Preferably monosyllabic.

Then there is only one answer.

Yukinoshita Yukino passed her fingers to Dongyun Xi's palm, letting her hold them, and guided her softly: "Xixi, meow~"

Dong Yunshan: “???”

Dong Yunxi grabbed Yukinoshita Yukino's fingers and opened her mouth like her, but she couldn't control her tongue yet. She opened her mouth and said, "Hey!"

Yukinoshita Yukino gently shook her little hand: "Meow~"

Dong Yunxi: “Hey!”

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was soft: "Meow meow~"

Dong Yunxi's voice was unclear: "Mmmm~"

Everyone was stunned.

Yukinoshita Yukino only felt her heart tremble, and the fingers that were held by Dong Yunxi suddenly became extremely heavy.

She turned her head somewhat bewilderedly and looked at Dong Yunshan: "Dong Yun, I..."

"You..." Dong Yunshan realized a serious problem, "You took advantage of me."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "???"

"That..." Hikigaya Komachi reminded quietly, "That doesn't seem to be the point."

"Yes," Dong Yunshan realized belatedly, "You took advantage of the three...four of us."

"You're the only one so boring." Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to glare at him, but being watched by Baby Xi, she could only smile without a smile and pinched Dong Yunshan. "Mom is the simplest pronunciation. It's the natural result of a baby opening their mouth and exhaling. It just so happens that the meow meow I taught her is similar to mom's speech, so Xixi said it that way. She wanted to make the sound of meow meow, but she made a mistake and that's why it turned out like this."

"Is this true?" Dong Yunshan approached Dong Yunxi, "Xixi, mmm~"

Dong Yunxi: “Yeah.”

Dong Yunshan: “???”

Yuigahama Yui suppressed her laughter, her face flushed red: "Touyun, you definitely didn't take advantage of me."

"No, it was us." Hikigaya Komachi's face was full of smiles, "He didn't take advantage of the four of us."

Dong Yunshan noticed the cute smile on Xibaobao's face: "Why do I feel like you did this on purpose?"

"Xixi did it on purpose." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes curved, "She has now developed the ability to read facial expressions. When she agrees, everyone is very happy, so she keeps agreeing."

Dong Yunshan glanced at everyone.

Yuigahama Yui avoided his gaze: "I, I held it back."

Hikigaya Komachi made a "yeah" gesture: "I couldn't help it!"

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up baby Xi and glanced at Dong Yunshan. "It's almost time. Go make the milk powder."

Dong Yunshan: "...Okay."

After feeding, Yukinoshita Yukino grabbed baby Xi's legs and did some exercises to relieve her gas.

Dong Yunshan, who had just finished washing the bottle, picked up baby Xi and coaxed her to sleep.

The baby who had been twisting and turning just now soon calmed down, yawned, moved his little mouth, and fell asleep.

Dong Yunshan put Xixi down, stuffed a pillow into her hand, took the blanket folded by Yukinoshita Yukino, and walked around baby Xi, simulating the feeling of hugging her so that she could sleep more soundly.

Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi watched the two people cooperate skillfully without any communication, and they didn't dare to breathe for fear of waking up Dong Yunxi.

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her hand to tie her hair into a ponytail and looked at the two of them: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Yuigahama Yui glanced at Baby Xi worriedly and lowered her voice: "Won't it wake her up?"

"She's asleep and it's not that easy to wake her up." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Azuma Yunshan, "Someone has already tried it."

Dong Yunshun nodded proudly.

"We just came to see Xixi," Yuigahama Yui was relieved, "As for lunch, it's not a big deal."

"It's no trouble." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head. "Even if you don't come, you still have to eat lunch."

Um...you seem to have come with us too—Yuigahama Yui wanted to remind Yukinoshita Yukino, but when the words came to her lips, she felt it was unnecessary.

"I can help~" Hikigaya Komachi raised her hand, "I'm often in charge of cooking at home."

"I, I don't do much at home..." Yuigahama Yui said excitedly, "But I can help!"

Dong Yunshan: "I..."

"You can eat the fitness meal by yourself." Yukinoshita Yukino pointed to the side, "Wash Xixi's bib and clothes. That, and that toy need to be disinfected. She has been drooling a lot these past two days, so they must be cleaned in time..."

Dong Yunshan: "...I'm busy with my own things."

Yuigahama Yui blinked her big eyes. There seemed to be a huge difference between the Toushi Yunshan at home and the Toushi Yunshan at school.

How should I put it...he seems to be very obedient.

The three of them went into the kitchen to work, leaving Dong Yunshan busy outside.

But not long after, Yuigahama Yui came out of the kitchen.

"Dongyun..." Yuigahama Yui said aggrievedly, "Let me help you."

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan glanced towards the kitchen. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know either..." Yuigahama Yui muttered softly, "They all know how to cook, but I can't, so I thought about helping them wash and cut vegetables...but in the end they let me out."

Dong Yunshan guessed: "Maybe there are too many people in the kitchen, it's a bit crowded."

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice came from the kitchen: "She wants to wash the meat with dish soap."

Dong Yunshan: “…”

Yuigahama Yui asked weakly: "Is it not possible?"

"Well, it's not impossible." Dong Yunshan sighed, "But do you want to eat meat that tastes like dish soap?"

"Hmm..." Yuigahama Yui thought for a moment, "It sounds interesting."

Dong Yunshan: "...Don't go into the kitchen."

Volume 3: End of Spring Break: Chapter 95: What a Correction

"Even you say so..." Yuigahama Yui's cheeks puffed up slightly and she looked towards the kitchen.

I don’t know if he was worried about choking or disturbing Dong Yunxi, or if he was worried that Yuigahama Yui would come into the kitchen again on a whim.

Yukinoshita Yukino closed the kitchen door.

"Come to think of it," Yuigahama Yui also just noticed, "Your house doesn't have an open kitchen, right? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"I chose this on purpose." Dong Yunshan pointed to the fitness equipment on the balcony. "Normally, I do my daily training in the living room. If I could see the kitchen at a glance..."

"I understand!" Yuigahama Yui nodded in agreement. "Sometimes I also deliberately put cakes in the very back of the refrigerator... although I end up finding them and eating them anyway."

"It took a bit of energy to get out there," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "It's good to be able to move more."

"Hehe~" Yuigahama Yui listened carefully and found that she could only faintly hear the voices of people talking in the kitchen, but she couldn't make out the specific content. "Come to think of it, I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan raised his eyes. "What?"

"That's the second order." Yuigahama Yui reminded, "Don't you still owe Yukino one order?"

"Ah... this." Dong Yunshan then remembered that he hadn't thought about this for a while. "I originally thought about asking her to help take care of Xixi to complete the second order."

"I thought about it..." Yuigahama Yui noticed Azuma Yunshan's choice of words, "but later on, I didn't mean to do it, right?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"This is between her and me. There's no need to drag Xixi into this," Dong Yunshan recounted his thoughts at the time, pausing before adding, "Besides, taking care of a child is hard work. I enjoy watching other people's miserable lives, but only when the misery has nothing to do with me can I laugh without burden."

"What I mean is..." Yuigahama Yui waved her hand, "If you didn't ask Yukino to do it, then why would she help take care of Xixi?"

-

"Because of correction." Yukinoshita Yukino handled the ingredients skillfully.

She originally wanted Hikigaya Komachi and Yuigahama Yui to go out together. She didn't like anyone disturbing her while she was cooking.

But it was as if Hikigaya Komachi could see through her needs. Once she told him what dish she wanted, he would prepare the ingredients to the desired shape. He would put the seasoning back in its place after using it, and would deal with any spills immediately...

So I didn't let Hikigaya Komachi go out with me.

When Hikigaya Komachi asked the reason for taking care of Touno Shio, Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the kitchen door and could vaguely hear the conversation between Touno Shio and Yuigahama Yui outside, but could not hear the specific content.

The situation outside should be the same.

"He originally wanted to ask me for help, but probably didn't want to involve Xixi, so he gave up." Yukinoshita Yukino added the ingredients to the pot and stir-fried them. "Instead, in return for helping him choose a few books, he planned to give me a commission that I could easily complete, and then give me the victory - but that would affect my correction of him."

"Correction?"

"You should have noticed." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Hikigaya Komachi, "His problem."

"I always feel like... Shinonome is very mature." Hikigaya Komachi stuck out her tongue. "He's holding himself to the standards of an adult, or rather, the standards of an excellent adult. It's even become a habit. He's doing a great job and can definitely be called a reliable adult—but he's still a high school student, so this must be very difficult."

Hikigaya Komachi looked up and thought, "I can sense that he wants to enjoy high school life, but he's been pretending to be an adult for too long. I can tell he's trying hard to liven up the atmosphere, but it also feels like he's completely out of touch, watching from the sidelines... What's that called?"

"Dissociative disorder," Yukino Yukinoshita answered. "Its occurrence may be related to abnormalities in the brain's neural network, disorders in the memory system, and an imbalance in neurotransmitters. It manifests as a breakdown of memory, self-awareness, identity, and cognitive function."

To be more specific:

Inexplicable short-term memory loss, where you can't recall what you were doing or watching in the last second;

You will suddenly ask yourself who you are and what you are doing;

It feels like being in water, with a membrane separating you from everything around you, and the sounds become very far away;

When I'm sad and in pain, I suddenly calm down and ask myself who I'm performing for...

"I've heard of this," Hikigaya Komachi nodded vigorously. "I remember that the inability to feel pain is a symptom of dissociation. Dissociation can minimize psychological and physical pain. When unable to feel pain, the patient may even resort to self-harm to achieve self-perception... I don't think Shinonome's condition is that serious."

"If it's not corrected..." Yukinoshita Yukino thought of the thick stack of medical records in Hiratsuka Shizuka's office, "it's very dangerous."

"so......"

"So I used duels to arouse his competitive spirit and used commands to guide him to understand himself." Yukinoshita Yukino finished cooking a dish and brought the topic back. "It's already showing some results. You saw how he performed in the activity room earlier."
