Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"The direction is a bit vague." Dong Yunshan murmured, "But I feel that no matter what it is, with Yui's personality, she will happily accept it."

"That's why," Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her temple as if she had a headache, "so it's hard to tell what gift would really make her happy."

"Now that I mention it, I'd like to see her pretend to be happy even after receiving a gift she absolutely dislikes." Dong Yunshan rubbed his chin with ill intent. "[Wow, this hydraulic press is really practical, I love it]—something like that."

Yukinoshita Yukino touched Azuma Yunshan's waist and warned her unhappily, "At least for now, put aside your thoughts of gloating."

"But the hydraulic press is really practical and durable," Dong Yunshan argued. "Everything else at home is gone, but the hydraulic press is still here."

Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes slightly, and her hand that was touching Azuma Yunshan's waist was ready to move.

Dong Yunshan looked away: "But let's start with the clothes."

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted softly, turned around and walked towards the clothing store.

There were so many styles of clothes that it was dizzying. Yukinoshita Yukino just paused for a moment and a clerk came up to greet her.

Higashi Yunshan walked over skillfully, stopped the clerk and asked questions so that Yukinoshita Yukino could choose freely by herself.

I looked at several pieces over and over again, but I still couldn't find one that I was particularly satisfied with.

Yukinoshita Yukino found Azuma Yunshan and walked into the next store with him.

This shop has a sweeter style.

Yukinoshita Yukino went to choose, and Azuma Yunshan skillfully locked onto the shopping guide closest to her and went up to her.

"Hello, this..." Dong Yunshan pointed in a random direction, and his arm suddenly stiffened.

He was pointing at a black lace bra.

The shopping guide looked at Dong Yunshan seriously, waiting for his next words.

"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan turned his arm and tried to point in another direction, but the whole area was filled with intimate apparel, all vying for beauty. "If it's a gift, which style would be more suitable?"

"Huh?" The salesperson was visibly stunned. "Who is this for?"

"Classmates."

"Well... if this is your first gift, I don't recommend giving underwear." The salesperson smiled awkwardly. "You might... uh... have an allergic reaction. After all, it's underwear."

"That makes sense." Dong Yunshan coughed twice, "Then I'll just take a look..."

Salesperson: “Huh?”

Dong Yunshan: "Let me take a closer look..."

Salesperson: “Hmm?”

"Okay," Dong Yunshan felt that the other party was about to call for help, "Actually, I want to wear it secretly by myself. Is there anything suitable for me?"

Salesperson: “Huh?”

Dong Yunshan sniffed: "Don't look at me like this, actually, deep down, I am a fragile and sensitive person..."

"What are you doing?" Yukinoshita Yukino's voice sounded, and her tender white hands touched Azuma Yunshan's waist.

"Just a little joke." Dong Yunshan turned around and asked, "Have you finished choosing?"

"No suitable one." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, then looked at the clerk, "I'm sorry, he's a bit naughty."

"Ah... I understand." The saleswoman said with an expression that said "I understand." "My boyfriend often acts like this and embarrasses me."

Dong Yunshan: “Huh?”

The salesperson stared at Dong Yunshan warily: "Isn't it? Then you..."

"He's embarrassing me." Yukinoshita Yukino gently pinched Azuma Yunshan, "Please don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he pulled Dong Yunshan out of the store.

"Stop running around." Yukinoshita Yukino put her hands on her hips and glared at Azuma Yunshan with a stern face, "I don't want you to be arrested as a suspicious person."

"Next time I can change the way I say it..." Dong Yunshan came up with a good idea, "For example, I plan to give it to my girlfriend."

"You're out with another female friend to choose underwear for your girlfriend?" Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him, then sighed softly, "Just use the trick you're familiar with."

"Which move?"

"Pretend..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked away, looking at the ground beside her, "Pretend to be... a couple with me."

"I'm familiar with this trick." Dong Yunshan paused, "But can you do it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes turned cold, and she grabbed Azuma Yunshan's arm and hugged him: "I can't do it?"

"Generally speaking... this only happens when you're just starting out," Dong Yunshan reminded me. "When I act, I don't even need physical contact. I just need to introduce myself and share some details about my life, and then people will believe me."

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted softly: "That time in the cafe before..."

"It's a borrowed shot, that's how movies are shot."

"Then..." Yukinoshita Yukino took Azuma Yunshan's arm, "Like this?"

Dong Yunshan nodded: "This is much more natural."

Volume 6: Chapter 242 Happy Breakup

Yukinoshita Yukino took Azuma Yunshan's arm and took two steps.

It feels no different from usual.

But the effect is still very good.

When the salesperson wanted to get closer, Dong Yunshan would just lower her head and whisper a few words to her, and the salesperson would politely stop.

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the clothes she liked, gently pulled them up and down and left and right to check the elasticity. After carefully examining the seams, she checked the threads.

It took Azuma Yunshan a while to realize what Yukinoshita Yukino was doing, and she warned him, "If you keep searching like this, I think you'll probably find nothing."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up in confusion: "Hmm?"

"Let's not even talk about whether Yui cares about the durability of her clothes. Many clothes aren't designed with durability in mind." Dong Yunshan paused, then added, "Merchants might actually put more thought into making clothes less durable."

"To increase sales by damaging the customer's clothes as quickly as possible..." Yukinoshita Yukino put the clothes back with a look of disgust, "But apart from the material and weaving, there's no other basis for judgment - after all, I don't know her preferences at all."

"It's a good idea to cater to someone's interests, but if they're experts in that area, it can backfire," Dong Yunshan said, giving an example. "I have a friend who works out with me, and his girlfriend gave him a fat-shaking machine. It's incredibly effective; he starts shaking just by looking at it."

"I remember that the actual calorie burn was about the same as just sitting quietly watching TV." Yukinoshita Yukino quickly understood what Azuma Yunshan meant. "Challenging an opponent's area of ​​expertise is indeed not a good option... so targeting their weaknesses is more likely to lead to victory."

"Although I understand what you mean." Dong Yunshan said helplessly, "But are you sure you are considering gift-giving?"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him, then turned her gaze to the kitchen supplies store nearby, took Azuma Yunshan's arm and walked over.

Although the statement was a bit scary, Yukinoshita Yukino did find Yuigahama Yui's weakness.

Although she is quite passionate about cooking, Yuigahama Yui doesn't really know much about it, so she's certainly not proficient in it.

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up a black apron and tied it around her body, then twirled it lightly in front of Azuma Yunshan: "How is it?"

The black apron was decorated with cute cat paw prints on the chest, and the hem rose lightly as she spun. The bow tied at her back waist swayed gently like a naughty cat's tail.

"It suits you very well." Azuma Yunshan couldn't help but recall the scene of Yukinoshita Yukino busy in the kitchen when he woke up that day, "But if I give it to Yui, I think I should change it to a dog paw print."

"I think so too." Yukinoshita Yukino checked her shoulders, bow, and hem in the mirror. "I'm wearing this for you to see."

Dong Yunshan: “Hmm?”

"If I can choose an apron that suits me, then I should be able to choose one that suits Yui as well." Yukinoshita Yukino took off her apron and folded it. "Now that my ability to choose has been confirmed, the next step is to choose Yui's."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up an apron with dog paw prints on it, carefully checked the number of pockets and the material, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then I bought both.

"What about you?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azuma Yunshan, "Do you have any ideas?"

Dong Yunshan remembered that Yuigahama Yui was still researching weight loss a while ago: "How about a fat-shaking machine?"

“…She’ll take it seriously.”

"The hydraulics..."

Yukinoshita Yukino took his arm and said, "Let's go shopping again."

Dong Yunshan took the shopping bag from Yukinoshita and said, "I really feel..."

Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes slightly: "You don't feel anything."

Dong Yunshan had to rethink.

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any particularly good choice.

Dong Yunshan doesn't know much about clothes.

Kitchen supplies, Yukinoshita Yukino has already bought one.

Dong Yunshan is not interested in craft ornaments that have no practical value and only take up space.

Pet supplies?

It's hard to grasp the size of clothing, the dog food is too complicated, and we don't know Sabre's preferences for snacks. As for toys... Yuigahama Yui probably has a lot of them at home, such as collars and leashes. If Yuigahama Yui needs them, they should have been replaced when she attended the exhibition yesterday.

Azuma Yunshan somewhat understood the dilemma that Yukinoshita Yukino had just felt.

They found a restaurant for lunch at noon, and Dong Yunshan suggested, "You twisted your ankle yesterday. It's not serious, but it's better for you to rest more. You can go back this afternoon and I'll go shopping by myself."

"I know my body's condition better than you do." Yukinoshita Yukino pushed the untouched part of her body toward Higashiyama. "It's not serious to begin with. There's no need to worry about this level of exercise. I'm more worried about you buying a hydraulic press than my foot."

Dong Yunshan took her portion and continued eating: "I just said that casually..."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of Azuma Yunshan's mouth: "Eat slowly."

Dong Yunshan's expression was stunned.

Yukinoshita Yukino moved the glass of drink and said, "Behind your right."

Dong Yunshan looked at the reflection in the glass and saw several girls who looked like high school students. "They look a little familiar."

"I've seen it several times." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were cold, "He's been observing us."

"How did you...oh~" Dong Yunshan thought of the answer, "Did they react just now?"

"When I pushed the plate towards you, they seemed very excited." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, "So I tested it again and it's basically confirmed."

"Someone who knows us?" Dong Yunshan observed covertly with the help of the reflection in the cup. "I don't have much impression. Is he from the same school?"

"They're probably not in the same grade." Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly, "They're probably collecting materials and then going back to school to make up rumors and spread them."

Dong Yunshan frowned slightly and put down his chopsticks.

"Sit down." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him. "It's useless even if you go to remind them."

"As long as we keep a close eye on them, we'll be able to find a way out." Dong Yunshan was eager to act. "If there are rumors, we can trouble them and they'll help us dispel them. If we persist, it's only a matter of time before we find the culprit."

"Refuting a rumor is much more difficult than creating one, and refuting it will only exacerbate its spread..." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes flickered slightly, "I've thought of another way."

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow: "What method?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Let's break up."

Volume 6: Chapter 243: Real Breakup

Dong Yunshan immediately understood: "Hedge?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's lips parted slightly, then pursed together: "...Well, I didn't expect you to know this."

"I'm very familiar with this..." Dong Yunshan tapped his temple with two fingers together, a little too hard. "It's a common tactic in public relations."

Hedging rumors can also be called information interference tactics.

Its core logic is to dilute the spread of the original rumor by creating a large number of contradictory, exaggerated or absurd derivative rumors, and even make people doubt the rumor itself.

That is to fight poison with poison.

The specific operation method is to target the original rumor A and create multiple rumors B, C, and D with logical contradictions and exaggerated details. Through the contradictions between the rumors, people will think that all information is unreliable, and thus give up paying attention to and spreading the original rumor.

The correct way to dispel rumors should be to provide a direct and verifiable evidence to the core of the rumor, trace the source of the rumor and hold the perpetrators accountable through legal means, and jointly speak out with authoritative organizations and professionals.

But none of this applies to an environment like a campus.

In contrast, hedging rumors are more feasible.

[No, I heard they broke up.]
