Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"I like this!" Yukinoshita Haruno picked up a piece of tempura and bit into it with a crunch. The translucent basil leaves exuded a unique fragrance. "Oh no! What if I can't eat it anymore?"

"I learned this from Yukino." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow, "If you want to eat it, you can eat it anytime."

"Really?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her sister, "If I want to eat..."

"Just do it yourself." Yukinoshita Yukino answered in a voice that was almost flat.

"It's different~" Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out her voice, "They taste the same, but other people's cooking is better than yours—right?"

"Some people think theirs tastes better than others." Yukino Yukinoshita peeled off the crisp, white fish flesh, savoring the mild, salty flavor of the oil mixed with the citric acid. "It's a matter of personal psychology."

Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head and looked at her sister: "So, which do you think is better, your cooking or that of Touno?"

"...That depends on whose cooking you can keep quiet while eating." Yukinoshita Yukino raised her eyes, caught a glimpse of the anticipation in Azuma Yunshan's eyes, and pursed her cherry lips, "They are all delicious."

Dong Yunshan asked in surprise: "Is it as delicious as the one you made?"

"No." Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly, "It tastes different from mine."

Dong Yunshan's smile showed a hint of relief: "It seems that I succeeded."

The correction of Yukinoshita Yukino has had a very good effect.

Just as every dish tastes different, so does success and victory.

Once she realizes this, Yukinoshita Yukino can be freed from excessive perfectionism.

"I was originally going to say that your cooking skills have only just begun to improve, and you're far from successful." Yukinoshita Yukino's lips curled up slightly, the delicious taste of the food lingering on her tongue, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes, "But now it seems that you have indeed succeeded."

The correction of eastern spruce has achieved very good results.

The taste of each dish is different. The key to improving your cooking skills is to improve your own abilities, not to replicate the taste of someone else's cooking.

Dong Yunshan’s ability to recognize that different kinds of delicious food are also a kind of success, which means that he has been liberated from superficial formalism.

Across the gradually expanding thick barrier, a hint of worry flashed in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes.

They are all content with the satisfaction of the moment.

But this satisfaction is only for this moment.

If no action is taken, in the near future, everything at this moment will become an illusion that they do not want to remember or forget.

If you don't make an effort now...

What would he do?

What is she going to do?

Many things have not happened yet, but clues have already appeared.

Although the previous test did not get the result that Yukinoshita Haruno wanted, it gave her a vague glimpse of a clue.

No wonder Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "I won't cooperate with your actions, because I know youth is fleeting. I won't stop you either, because I know how much Shinonome cherishes her youth."

This was exactly what Yukinoshita Haruno wanted.

It's not about asking Shizuka Hiratsuka to cooperate, but about expressing the desire for Shizuka Hiratsuka to cooperate, so that Shizuka Hiratsuka will take the initiative to ask not to interfere.

At that time, Yukinoshita Haruno's focus was on Hiratsuka Shizuka's attitude.

Only later did I pay attention to Dong Yunshan's attitude.

What he said about "depending on my mood" seemed to be more than just an excuse.

It really depends on your mood.

What a willful little mouse.

Yukinoshita Haruno tried to savor the flavor of the food.

Try to just savor the flavor of the food.

I really can't do it...

But, they are the same.

Because of the impending separation, they could not simply savor the taste of the food.

In Yukinoshita Haruno's opinion, this is a feeling that they only experience occasionally now, but it will be a feeling that they will soon become familiar with in the future.

"Oh right." Dong Yunshan swallowed the food in his mouth. "After school starts, let's go to that family restaurant again. After learning how to cook, I feel that the taste there is quite unique. Let's try to replicate it."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded gently: "Okay."

Volume 5 May Holiday: Chapter 151 New Class

Class F, 2nd year.

After confirming his class on the class bulletin board, Dong Yunshan also noticed two familiar names.

Hikigaya Komachi, Yui Hama.

What a coincidence... No.

Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka's name, Dong Yunshan felt that it might not be a coincidence.

If Yukinoshita Yukino hadn't been in the International Liberal Arts Class, she might have been assigned to Class F.

All students gathered in the auditorium. The principal spoke briefly, the teachers spoke briefly, a student representative spoke, textbooks were collected, class schedules were confirmed, and an emergency contact form was filled out.

It was almost noon when a large group of students came into the classroom.

Dong Yunshan sat in the back row by the window. He preferred the seat near the door so it would be more convenient for him to skip classes.

Perhaps Shizuka Hiratsuka also thought of this, so she arranged him by the window.

If it weren't for his outstanding height, Shizuka Hiratsuka might have kept him under her nose.

Hikigaya Komachi in the front row waved to Azuma Yunshan with a cute smile.

Yuigahama Yui nodded to him, and then began to look at the classmates carefully.

In comparison, Hikigaya Komachi's observations were much more covert.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, wearing a white coat, stood in front of the podium, briefly talked about some precautions, and then asked the students to introduce themselves.

Dong Yunshan moved his fingers, the gel pen flying up and down between his fingers, and thought about today's menu arrangements in his mind.

According to Yukinoshita Yukino, without her supervision, Azuma Yunshan has to learn to consciously supervise himself and not be as sloppy as before.

I should make use of the habits I developed at Yukinoshita Yukino's house, maintain my passion for cooking, and further improve my cooking skills.

In order to prevent Azuma Yunshan from being abandoned, Yukinoshita Yukino would check his cooking skills from time to time.

Although I have left Yukinoshita Yukino's house, I will work hard as if I had never left.

Thinking of this, Dong Yunshan couldn't help but recall the time when he left.

He left with Yukinoshita Haruno, and originally thought that even if she didn't do anything, she would say something vague.

The result is nothing.

Of course, Azuma Yunshan didn't think that he had corrected Yukinoshita Haruno.

The brief contact gave him some understanding of Yukinoshita Haruno.

She just hasn't taken action yet, but she will definitely take action.

As for what the action was... Dong Yunshan didn't care.

Not to mention that he had a spirit tempered by his previous life and a body that had been tempered a thousand times, he was not afraid of Yukinoshita Haruno's methods at all.

Even if Yukinoshita Haruno had thought of a way to deal with him, there was no point in him worrying about it in advance.

Keep your own rhythm, and deal with the enemy with our troops and the water with our earth.

"Yuigahama Yui, my hobbies are karaoke and cooking."

Wait a minute?

Dong Yunshan seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

Due to time limitations, each person's introduction was brief.

Soon it was East Spruce's turn.

"Dong Yunshan," Dong Yunshan pulled up a chair and stood up. His good posture due to his consistent exercise attracted a lot of attention. "I like..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at Azuma Yunshan, her fists clenched visibly.

"Fitness and cooking." Dong Yunshan smiled and ended his self-introduction.

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief. If Azuma Yunshan said something outrageous like "I enjoy watching other people's miserable lives," she would clench her fists...

Can't hit it.

Scold...

The inspection has been strict recently.

By the way, Shizuka Hiratsuka came up with a good idea.

Tell Yukinoshita Yukino to teach him a lesson.

After the self-introduction, the class committee members will be elected.

Because the classes have just been divided, the students are not familiar with each other yet, but someone still needs to handle the initial affairs, so temporary committee members must be elected first to ensure the daily operation of the class, such as calling the roll, conveying notices, organizing cleaning, etc., and formal elections will be held again after one to two weeks.

That's what they say, but after a week or two, unless the problem is too big to be ignored, or the temporary committee member voluntarily states that he is not competent, it will basically be like this from now on.

Hiratsuka Shizuka listed the positions that needed to be elected on the blackboard: "Everyone, please sign up actively. You can also suggest suitable candidates. Let's discuss it. If there is no one, I will appoint them."

Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi both looked at Azuma Yunshan. They remembered that Azuma Yunshan had mentioned before that he was the class monitor in junior high school.

Dong Yunshan waved his hand. He had already been a squad leader once and had no interest in being one again.

A boy raised his hand and nervously expressed his desire to be class monitor.

Seeing that no one else volunteered, Shizuka Hiratsuka wrote the boy's name on the blackboard.

The monitor started the conversation, and immediately another girl raised her hand, saying she wanted to be the vice monitor. Then came the health committee member, the library committee member, the study committee member, the sports committee member...

From time to time, a small group would quietly suggest someone and then shout out that person's name amid laughter to promote a nomination.

With everyone's tacit understanding, there was no multi-person competition.

When the lunch bell rang, the election of class committee members had been successfully completed.

After Shizuka Hiratsuka left, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately became relaxed.

Some people went straight to the school store, some people who had known each other for a long time moved tables and chairs to prepare for lunch, and some went to other classrooms to reconnect with their former classmates.

Dong Yunshan was about to go out with his schoolbag when a boy came over and asked, "Hello, do you want to eat together?"

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan paused and looked at the boy with a sunny smile in confusion.

"I've been interested in fitness lately, but I just haven't been able to stick with it." Noticing Dong Yunshan's confusion, the boy explained and offered his hand, "Hayama Hayato, just call me Hayama."

"Dong Yunshan." Dong Yunshan shook hands with him, his eyes slightly shifted, and he noticed that several people's eyes were focused on him.

One of the girls wearing glasses had a particularly passionate look.

This is the leader of a small group.

Dong Yunshan saw a girl with big wavy blonde hair, dressed in exquisite clothes, staring at him.

And it is a small group of quite high level.

Campus social hierarchy, or to put it more bluntly, campus caste system.

Dong Yunshan didn't care about this because he was not in school most of the time, but he did have some knowledge about it.

The so-called campus social hierarchy is roughly divided into three levels.

The bottom layer is generally composed of otaku culture enthusiasts, special interest groups, invisible people, transfer students, or students who have difficulties in life.

The middle level consists of the backbone of cultural clubs who have special skills and opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, top students who can tutor others and participate in small talk, funny characters who liven up the atmosphere, and convenient and useful errand runners.

The top layer is composed of the aces of the sports teams, such as the main players of the baseball team and the forwards of the football team, core members of the student union who have both leadership and popularity and certain privileges, as well as... the one in front of Dong Yunshan.

People with outstanding looks like Hayato Hayama and Big Wave can easily occupy the top social level on campus if they are good at dressing up and managing social media.
