Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't notice. But Yuigahama-san, I believe you." Azuma Yunshan put his index and middle fingers together and tapped his temple twice. "I want you to think carefully. Was Sagami-san always cold towards you, or did she become even colder after you explained you were looking for a lost doll?"

Yuigahama Yui was originally worried that she would betray Azuma Yunshan's trust, but after hearing the question, she immediately felt relieved.

For others, the distinction between being apathetic and suddenly becoming apathetic may not be so easy.

But for Yuigahama Yui, who is used to reading people's faces, the two are extremely easy to distinguish.

So she quickly gave an answer.

"Sagami was in a bad mood..." Yuigahama Yui recalled the scene at that time, "After I told her that my doll was lost, she became even colder..."

"Or rather," Dong Yunshan added, "it showed obvious hostility towards you."

Yuigahama Yui nodded slightly.

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, pursed her cherry lips into a thin line, and her eyes were shaken like never before.

As if to hide, or perhaps to think better, Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes.

Her tender little hands were clenched into fists, her curved eyelashes trembling slightly. It took a while for Yukinoshita Yukino to open her eyes again, "I..."

She bit her lower lip lightly, complex ripples in her ice-blue eyes, and her pleasant voice was like a clear stream, "I give up."

"Eh——!" Yuigahama Yui widened her eyes in astonishment, "What's going on? Why did it suddenly..."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed very confident before.

"I made a wrong judgment about your situation based on my own experience." Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief. "Being cold towards you to begin with and becoming even colder after knowing you were the owner are two different situations."

Yuigahama Yui was confused, "Is it different?"

"Her coldness towards you is directed at you. After she knew you were the owner, she became even colder, which means her cold attitude is directed at you. As for why she is so cold and even hostile towards you..." Dong Yunshan repeated what she had said to Hiratsuka Shizuka before, "I have a friend who was constantly targeted by a boss. It wasn't until he was forced to resign that he realized the boss disliked him just because he had a few more words with a female colleague the boss liked."

"Sagami thought I... no, she thought the doll's owner was too close to the person she liked. That's why she showed hostility towards me when I asked her if she had seen my doll." Yuigahama Yui followed Azuma Yunshan's train of thought and quickly discovered the problem. "But why would she think that?"

Yukinoshita Yukino pointed out the key point, "Dolls can't talk. Of course, it was the person who took the doll who told her."

"Sato?" Yuigahama Yui was puzzled. "But how did Sato know who Sagami liked? And why did she tell her?"

"Sato didn't know who Sagami liked. He just wanted to take the doll Sagami found." Dong Yunshan imagined the scene in his mind. "[This is my girlfriend's doll, can you let me keep it?] That's what Sato said at the time. Then, Sagami knew that the person she liked already had a girlfriend."

"So Sagami..." Yuigahama Yui exclaimed, then immediately covered her mouth to lower her voice, "Sagami likes Satou?! But Satou and I are not familiar with each other."

"Kaori, who works in the same craft club as Sato, is very familiar with Sato. Or rather, they've been dating for a while." Dong Yunshan recalled the obvious hostility in Sato's eyes when he spoke to Kaori. "She has a doll similar to yours. Your doll's string broke, and Kaori's doll is likely in the same situation. It might have been lost even earlier than yours."

"Wait... my mind is a little confused." Yuigahama Yui covered her head, "Let me think..."

Yuigahama Yui's doll is lost, and while looking for it, she encounters Sagami Minami.

Upon hearing that she was the owner, Sagami Minami's attitude suddenly turned cold and she told her that the doll was picked up by Sato.

Yuigahama Yui saw her doll in Sato's bag, but Sato said she had never seen it.

The matter is still the same, but there are three more prerequisites.

That is, Sagami Minami likes Sato, Sato and Kaori are dating, and Kaori's doll may also be lost.

So, while Yuigahama Yui was looking for her doll, Sato was also looking for Kaori's doll.

The two dolls are very similar. Sato saw Sagami Minami picked up Yuigahama Yui's doll and thought it was Kaori's, so he took the doll away on the grounds that "this is my girlfriend's doll."

Sagami Minami, who likes Sato, heard that Yuigahama Yui was looking for a doll, and thought that Yuigahama Yui was the girlfriend Sato was talking about, so her attitude suddenly became cold and she showed obvious hostility.

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui noticed something suspicious. "I can understand Sato identifying the wrong doll... but Sagami said [she saw Sato pick up the doll], not [Sato saw her pick up the doll]."

"That's a bit of a misrepresentation. Before I asked you, you only said Sagami seemed upset, without elaborating on the change in her attitude." Dong Yunshan elaborated. "Sagami, who harbored hostility towards you, certainly wouldn't describe the entire process of [the doll she found being taken by Sato] in detail. She'd simply tell you the end result."

"Then why didn't Sato return it to me?" Yuigahama Yui asked, "He didn't return it to Kaori either, and deliberately let me see it..."

Dong Yunshan blinked, "In love, there's a situation called the [Cold War]."

Yuigahama Yui murmured, "Cold war?"

"In a friendly and intimate relationship, a cold war refers to a state of cold violence and confrontation caused by mutual disregard or one-sided indifference." Yukinoshita Yukino gave a reference answer, "It's a form of psychological violence."

"I know this, although I'm not very professional..." Yuigahama Yui blushed, "Sato and Kaori are in a cold war, so...Sato wants to use the doll he found to get Kaori to talk to him?"

"But it wasn't Kaori who took the initiative to find him, but you." Azuma Yunshan guided Yuigahama Yui to think, "If you were Sato, what would you think?"

"Kaori didn't want to talk to me, but she couldn't bear to part with her doll, so she asked her best friend to come and help get it back..." Yuigahama Yui suddenly realized, "That's why he deliberately let me see it, and then said he didn't see it. In fact, he was using me to convey his attitude to Kaori, so that Kaori could go to him and get it back herself!"

Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but think of Yukinoshita Yukino's previous judgment.

"She's not in a bad mood, she's just jealous of you."

“If he didn’t want to return it, he would have hidden it instead of letting you see it.”

"It's just a silly little boy's trick to attract attention."

These judgments are indeed correct.

"As long as you point out the absurdity of this behavior and its evil nature, he will honestly hand over the doll."

The solution given by Yukinoshita Yukino is also correct.

There is just some deviation.

In fact, as long as Yuigahama Yui follows Yukinoshita Yukino's method and changes her habit of reading people's faces, and bravely expresses her own ideas and makes things clear to Sato at the beginning, there will be no subsequent troubles.

Even now, if she learns to express her ideas bravely, this problem can be easily solved.

Yukinoshita Yukino's method is correct.

But Eastern Spruce has a better approach.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azuma Yunshan.

"Please come in." Dong Yunshan responded.

The door of the activity room was opened. Sato saw the people in the room were stunned for a moment, and looked at Dong Yunshan awkwardly, "I... need help with something, so I came over... come and take a look."

"If you're referring to the cold war between you and your girlfriend," Dong Yunshan put his index and middle fingers together and tapped his temple twice, "I just thought of a good idea."

PS: Thanks to [Koutenruchi Yukikaze-chan] and [-Ayatsuji Ci-] for the reward!

I didn't expect to get 1 rewards so quickly...

The little newbie was flattered and trembling with fear.

Code, code, code! Save the draft!

Volume 1: First Meeting in High School: Chapter 13: The Whole Story

"I'm so sorry!" Sato bowed deeply. "I didn't mean to involve others, but it ended up causing you so much trouble..."

"No, no!" Yuigahama Yui hurriedly waved her hands and glanced in the direction of Yukinoshita Yukino, "There are also my own reasons for this. I think too much. If I could... By the way, I don't know when you and Kaori started dating..."

Yuigahama Yui looked a little lonely.

Her best friend had a boyfriend, but she knew nothing about it.

Sato looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with some uneasiness.

"Why are you looking at me?" Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "I don't know anything."

Sato had never thought that he would discuss relationship issues in front of his teacher, "It's been a while. Kaori wanted to tell you, but...her doll was lost."

Yuigahama Yui immediately understood Kaori's thoughts.

It was like she lost her doll and didn't want Kaori to know.

Kaori lost her doll and didn't want Yuigahama Yui to know.

After discovering that the doll was lost, Kaori, who originally wanted to share the joy of love with Yuigahama Yui, began to avoid Yuigahama Yui.

"Our cold war was also because of the doll," Sato sighed. "We went on a date that day, and I prepared many surprises. But when we met, she discovered that her doll was missing and insisted on going back to find it. 'It's just a doll, isn't it?' — I said something so rude."

Kaori was very angry and told Sato, "That is the testimony of my friendship with Yui."

"I was furious at the time, so I asked her, 'Which is more important to you, a lover or a friend?'" Sato lowered his head. "She said nothing and left alone. After I calmed down, I felt that an apology wasn't enough, so I decided to find her lost doll."

When people are emotionally excited, their rationality will inevitably be temporarily offline.

After calming down a little, Sato realized his impulsiveness.

As a lover, he should face various problems in life with Kaori.

Instead of giving her another question that will be wrong no matter how you answer it when she encounters a problem.

Sato wants to find the doll and communicate with Kaori again.

Solve the problems that Kaori encounters and the problems he causes together.

But the doll was never found.

As time went by, Sato finally realized it.

Maybe it would be better to communicate with Kaori first and then look for the doll with her.

Just at this moment, he saw Sagami Minami picked up the doll.

He originally wanted to take the doll to find Kaori.

But after finding the doll, a new question came to mind.

He hadn't communicated with Kaori because he wanted to find the doll first.

Then why didn't Kaori talk to him?

With such doubts, Sato put the doll in his schoolbag where others could see it, hoping that Kaori would take the initiative to communicate with him.

But what she waited for was Yuigahama Yui.

So even though he knew that Yuigahama Yui had seen the doll, he still insisted that he had not seen the doll.

I just want Kaori to come by herself.

At the same time, in order to prevent Kaori from taking it away secretly, he no longer put the doll in his schoolbag where it could be seen by others, but put it away.

Just wait for Kaori to take the initiative to communicate with him.

As a result, I had to wait for two days.

Until Dong Yunshan came to the handicraft club.

"If you need help with anything, you can come to the service club and find me."

Sato's worry is why Kaori is unwilling to talk to him even though she knows the doll is with him.

The answer is...Kaori doesn't know.

"Which is more important, friends or lovers? This question is like asking who is better, a father or a mother. It's childish and boring." Sato took out a doll from the compartment of his schoolbag and handed it to Yuigahama Yui, "I'm too immature..."

Yuigahama Yui looked at the doll in his hand.

That was a testimony to her friendship with Kaori.

It was the beginning of her and Kaori avoiding each other again.

It was also the fuse of the cold war between Kaori and Sato.

"After that..." Yuigahama Yui took the doll, "What are you going to do next?"

"Of course I'll keep looking." Sato sighed, "I don't want Kaori to forgive my gaffe with a simple apology."

Dong Yunshan suddenly asked, "What are you looking for?"

"A doll," Sato replied, "Kaori's."

"That's not right." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you looking for an opportunity to communicate with Kaori?"

Sato looked at the doll in his hand, "You mean..."

"You wanted to find her lost doll and apologize to her, but after trying for a long time, you only found Yuigahama's doll." Azuma Yunshan spread out his hands. "You don't know Yuigahama well, so you can only ask her to pass it on to you."

Sato was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible?"
