Dudu's Diary - Chapter 13: Dad Is Back 3

Yuan Long bought a remote-controlled plane with Dudu in a toy store on the first floor. It's the latest model. Dudu liked it so much that it still felt unbelievable to him until his Dad finally paid and they walked out of the mall.

"Dad, is this plane really mine?"

"En" Yuan Long responded patiently, "It's really yours."

"Dad, it's really mine. Will I have a plane in the future?"

"Yes, you will have a plane."

The little guy, who had never bought such a high-end toy, confirmed it over and over again. Yuan Long responded back again and again without the slightest impatience. This finally convinced Dudu that the super cool remote control plane is indeed his.
From now on, he's also a boy with very powerful toys.

The surprise is like a tornado, blowing the little guy away.

"Dad, I love you so much ~ I love you the most!" The little guy happily kissed his father's face several times, wanting to kiss his father's face rotten. Without the slightest feeling of guilt, he pulled his mother off his "Favorite Person" throne.

The corners of Yuan Long's mouth hooked up, and his heart softened for this living treasure of a child.

He never knew his heart could be so soft.

At this time, Dudu finally thought of his old mother left at home alone. He held his precious plane and saying, "Dad, let's go back quickly and show my plane to Mom. Mom will envy me very much, hee hee ~"

Yuan Long's eyes deepened and he nodded. He could not distinguish his emotions clearly and said, "Good."

The house is on the third floor. Yuan Long didn't take the elevator. He climbed the stairs while carrying Dudu, so Dudu was surprised. He gave an unbelievable "Woww, Dad aren't you tired of climbing the stairs with Dudu?"

Yuan Long's breath returned to him easily as he responded, "I'm not tired."

Stars almost appeared in the little guy's eyes. At this moment, the image of his father in his mind is incomparably gigantic.

His mother always stopped every after two steps to gasped for breath, saying that he was so fat and that told him to lose weight. Although he doesn't admit it every time, he knows in his heart that he is indeed fat, but his father is not tired climbing the stairs while carrying Dudu. Is his father Superman?

It didn't take a minute to climb to the third floor. Yuan Long was about to ask which door was theirs but Dudu suddenly stopped and said, "Dad, wait a minute."

"What's the matter?"

Dudu's eyes suddenly became worried. He looked at one of the doors and gnawed at his little fat fingers. He seemed to want to say something but didn't know whether to say it or not. Unexpectedly, he also looks so funny while being hesitant.

Yuan Long rubbed his little meaty back, "What's the matter? Is there something you want to say to Dad? It doesn't matter. Just say it."

"That ...... that ......" Dudu's two fat hands twisted together, he leaned to the whisper to Yuan Long and begged, "Dad, can you promise me that once you see Mom, you don't abandon her, OK? Don't abandon Mom. "

Yuan Long was stunned. Unexpectedly, this little fellow struggled with this for a long time. He asked curiously, "Why does Dudu think so?"

Dudu sheepishly "Hmmm---" for a long time, thought about it and decided to change his statement: "Dad, although Mom is not pretty, looks like a big eater, and likes to rob my toys, but...but...but Mom's a little ballet princess, the number of her pursuers can circle the earth twice."

Dudu originally wanted to find some words to boast about his mother's merits to his father, but he couldn't think of any. He suddenly remembered what his mother had said to him. Although he didn't believe it, he could only use it in an emergency. He hopes his father could believe it.

Yuan Long remained silent for three seconds, then turned his head. After a while, he turned around with a smile, cleared his throat and asked Dudu, "Did your mother say that to you?"

Dudu opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked like "Dad, how did you know?"

Yuan Long really didn't want to tell Dudu that he had heard the same person brag the same thing a few years ago. He just didn't expect that it's still the same one where the pursuers not only circled the earth once, but now it has grown to two laps.

Gently patting the little fellow on the head, Yuan Long promised, "OK, Dad will promise you."

Since his father promised that he would not abandon his mother, Dudu was completely relieved, he shook his short legs from his father's arms, ran to his own door to knock, and shouted loudly, "Mom, Mom, open the door, Dudu is back!"

Yu Shanshan was so angry that she crossed her arms and wouldn't open the door and said, "You bad fat man still know how to come home? How long have you been out? You are a heartless, heartless, bad fat man!"

Dad is still by his side, but his mother already slandered him like this. Dudu was afraid that his father might believe he's a bad fat man. So he stamped his foot eagerly and clarified himself, "Mom, I am not a heartless bad fat man, I am a good fat man!"

Yu Shanshan: "It's strange that you're so fat! Will a fat man abandon his mother? Didn't your conscience hurt when your mother is sick and you abandon your mother to go out to play and didn't even come back after playing for so long?"

Dudu reflected on himself and felt that he was really wrong. He shouldn't have abandoned his mother because of a plane. After all, Mom is now a cripple.

So Dudu bravely admitted his mistake and coaxed his mother: "Mom, I'll give you all my toys to play with. Please forgive me."

Since Yu Shanshan finally ranted out the discomfort that she had been mercilessly abandoned by the little fat man, she then opened the door feeling refreshed. "Well, I will forgive you--"

Before she could finished speaking, she was choked when she saw the incredible figure at the door, and she's dumbfounded.

Dudu thought his mother was just as excited as he was and jumped up happily, "Mom, this is my surprise for you! Dad is back from saving the world. Are you happy, Mom?"

A tingle in Yu Shanshan subconsciously "snapped" that she subconsciously slammed the door, shutting out a father and son, one large and one small, while she herself whirled around the living room like a headless fly, even though she was now semi-disabled.

Dudu looked at the door closed again with an open mouth. He looked up at his father blankly, and wanted to cry.

The first time I took my father home, he just had to see my mother being crazy. My father must be planning to abandon my mother now.

Dudu turned gray and hugged his father's thigh pitifully. "Daddy....."

Yuan Long leaned over and picked up the child and looked at the closed door. He simply reached out and knocked on the door, "Yu Shanshan, open the door." he said coldly.

Five plain words stopped the headless fly Yu Shanshan from her rotating around aimlessly, her brain quickly woke up, knowing that not opening the door is useless, since it will eventually open sooner or later.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Shanshan went to open the door with a generous expression of death, but after walking two steps, she stopped to look at her clothes.

At home, she was wore a loose-fitting gown and pajamas, which were as wide as a bucket, and incomparably uglier on her body.

Yu Shanshan instantly turned and ran to the room, found her thinnest clothes from the wardrobe, put them on quickly, and ran to the bathroom to comb her hair to make sure she could face people now. She took a deep breath, opened the door like nothing, and gave way to the two people outside.

Yu Shanshan also did not know what expression and attitude she should face Yuan Long with, so she just pretend to look up at the sky. She doesn't even know what to say to him now and if she could, she wished he hadn't seen her.

Fortunately, Dudu was more reliable than his mother, and he looked like a hospitable little housekeeper. He immediately took his father to the sofa and sat down. He went to the refrigerator and brought a bottle of water to his father and put it in front of him. "Dad, please drink water," he said in a decent manner.

After thinking, he added, "Don't mention it, just feel at home."

This is what he learned when he was watching TV, and that's what he would say when he had a guest at home.

Yuan Long smiled and unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, giving the little fellow the honor.

Seeing that his father drank the water, Dudu did not have to run to the refrigerator, tiptoed to open the upper door then took out the fruit snacks inside. Finally he did not forget to take out a lovely one from the freezer below. Holding them together in his arms he ran back, and put it on the coffee table in front of Yuan Long.

"Dad, you eat fruits and popsicles."

Seeing that he wanted to bring all the delicious food to himself, Yuan Long smiled and rubbed his little head. "Dad is not hungry. Dudu can eat them himself."

Dudu happily took a banana, peeled it and took a bite. It wasn't until he swallowed it that he remembered his old mother, who was still standing alone at the door, and hurriedly waved to her, "Mom, come here!"

Yu Shanshan had to move with small steps back to the sofa. But she didn't dare to get too close so she only sat on the farthest end.

Dudu did not find anything wrong, he happily showed his remote control plane to his mother, "Mom, look, Dad bought me a plane."

"Oh." Yu Shanshan was not in the mood to discuss toys with the fat man at the moment, and the remaining light in the corner of her eye kept peeking at the movement in Yuan Long, guessing when he will ask her about Dudu or discuss what to do after Dudu.

He is a responsible man and didn't know that Dudu exist. Shanshan is sure he'll ask him for Dudu's custody now. But it was impossible for her to give it to him. Dudu was hers, and she wouldn't give it to anyone.

However, Yuan Long has been playing with Dudu, not even giving her a look, let alone talking.

Yu Shanshan: "........"

Father and son played directly to noon. Soon, Dudu touched his belly and asked Yu Shanshan: "Mom, I'm hungry, let's order dinner."

".....Oh." Yu Shanshan took out her cell phone, opened the takeout app and handed it over. "Take your pick, little fat man."

Dudu often picked out takeout, so he readily accepted the good advice. He took up the phone very seriously. Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly handed the phone to Yuan Long, "Dad, please choose. Mom and I will treat you to dinner."

Yuan Long glanced at his mobile phone screen and then turned to Yu Shanshan. He looked at her for the first time since entering the door, "You've been eating takeout?"

Yu Shanshan had never thought there was anything wrong with taking out food, but when Yuan Long asked, she felt strangely guilty. It seems ...... it seems that it is not very healthy to eat takeout all the time. He must think she's an incompetent mother.

But can he know about this for sure? Of course not.

So Yu Shanshan pointed to her leg and said innocently, "My leg is broken, it's not convenient to cook, so I order takeout for the time being."

It sounds like she definitely didn't often order takeout even back when her leg wasn't broken.

Monique: Lmao Yuan Long realizing that Shanshan's bragging had "improved" had me in stitches. I'm excited if we'll be able to see their backstory soon and how Dudu came into the picture ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
