Dudu's Diary - Chapter 22: Marriage Proposal.

No matter how restless those people are, Yu Shanshan is not in the mood to think about them for the time being. She feels like she’s stepping on clouds, feeling dizzy.

She had just been princess-carried!!

A Princess Carry!!

Although she pestered him for a princess hug many times back then, and every time she was held like a princess, she would go dizzy with happiness, but this time she was not dizzy with happiness, but with an unlovable life.


She’s a fat person weighing more than a hundred kilograms, who had just been carried by a man like a princess. She wants to know what that picture looked like. It must be a scene showing a handsome guy carrying a wild animal.

Think of a big handsome man with a big fat woman in his arms, the picture......

She must’ve been too heavy. After all, she’s a little more than twice as fat as before. He used to hold one of her, but now he's holding two!

The Achilles' heel of a woman's life is that she can't be weighed down by a man, even in her heart. A woman who weighs less than 60kg can dare hug a man casually in pettish manner, but if she’s more than a 100kg, she doesn't have the courage to open her mouth. Take Yu Shanshan's figure, even if a man is crying and begging to hold her, she will resolutely refuse then run far away, or else things will be miserable.

However, such a tragic thing happened.

Yu Shanshan wept in her heart, and her heart had already turned into a river of tears. If she could, she really wanted to start all over again. She would never be in a daze and would definitely be the first to rush into the car and not give him a chance to hold her.

Unfortunately, life doesn't start all over again.

It happened that at this time, the little fat man came to make things worse. With admiration on his face, he told his father, "Dad, you must’ve been so bored, you even picked up Mom!"

Usually when he fights with his mother, he can't even lift one leg of his mother, and his mother can press him over with one leg at a time, making him flutter under her thighs like a little tortoise. Dudu didn't expect that his father could pick up his mother like he did. His father's strength is too great.

The little fat man's admiring eyes on his father made Shanshan's heart stop again.

Is it really so incredible for him to be able to pick her up? Is she truly that fat?

Life lay helplessly in the back seat, she wanted to be quiet.

The little fat man was still chattering to his father in the front seat. He seemed to have found a new hope and asked, "Dad, can you beat Mom? Mother is so strong! "

Yuan Long looked at Yu Shanshan, who had no love in her eyes from the rearview mirror. His mouth turned up a subtle smile and he replied, "Dad can't beat Mom."

"Ah ..." The little fellow couldn't believe it. "Dad, are you too strong to beat Mom?"

Yu Shanshan: Fatty what do you mean, you have a strong desire that your father could beat me? Are you afraid that the skin is not itchy?

"Uh-huh" Yuan Long said in a low voice, "Dad can't beat Mom, and Dad is also afraid of Mom."

Yu Shanshan's heart was frantically shouting: You are talking nonsense. You can crush me to death with one hand. You used to pick me up with one arm to frighten me back when you were angry with me!

The little fat man had no idea that his father was just fooling him. He thought that his father could not beat his mother, and immediately he felt that his last hope was gone. After that, my father is so bored that he is afraid of his mother, and the boss of the family is still his mother. His father will not be able to help him even if he was beaten by his mother. If his father helps him, maybe his father will be beaten to death by his mother.

Dudu's mind had already made up a picture of him and his Dad being beaten by Mom, crying bitterly. Suddenly he was sad and felt that he and his father were really pitiful.

Dudu took a sniff. Although he was very sad in his heart, he still strongly comforted his father: "Then Dad, we both should behave ourselves, be obedient, listen to my Mom, do not make my Mom angry, so that we will not be beaten by Mom."

Yuan Long's shoulders shook, and there was a smile in his voice. "OK, let's be good together."

Yu Shanshan: That's enough, that's enough! Stop slandering me, I am a gentle lady!

The car arrived at its destination while father and son admitted that they’re afraid of their wife/mother. Yuan Long parked the car in the parking space, got out of the driver's seat and opened the door of the rear parking space. The first thing he did was to pick up Yu Shanshan, who was about to climb out of the car, and gently put her down on the ground.

Yu Shanshan: ...... Why did you hug me first? I can get down by myself!

It's a pity that Yuan Long like didn't know of her inner grief. He naturally handed her her crutches, and then went to the other side to help his son down.

Yu Shanshan bit her lip and felt like crying again.

She vowed that she would never take his car again, and the chassis was too high to climb. Why do you have to buy a car with such a high chassis? How can you get down?

When the three of them returned home, it was already over 9 o'clock. At this time Dudu was already sleepy, and his little head was is already like a chicken pecking rice in Yuan Long’s arms

Yuen Long took him to the bathroom to take a bath. When he came out, the little guy had completely fallen asleep and even snored softly,  his belly rose and fell along with the snoring.

Yuan Long sent the little guy to sleep in the room. When he came out, only the two of them were left in the living room. There was no lively little guy and the atmosphere seemed very quiet.

This is the first time the two have been alone since they met again.

Yu Shanshan was a little nervous and pretended to watch TV very seriously. She thought that he would ignore her directly like before, but he walked right next to her and sat down.

Suddenly, the hairs on Yu Shanshan's body stood up and her heart began to beat faster and faster. She had no idea what was being said on TV.

"Yu Shanshan." Finally, Yuan Long called to her in a low voice, with an air of long-lost memories, "Let's talk."

The moment Yu Shanshan heard that, the mountain in her heart collapsed, and her heart ached with the feeling of "It’s finally here".

What should come will always come.

Yu Shanshan took a deep breath, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Only then did she bravely look straight at him. Like a fearless warrior, she poured out the words she had thought of and practiced countless times:

"I will not give you Dudu. Dudu was born in October. I worked hard to raise it. During that time, you did not fulfill any of your responsibilities as a father. So even if your current condition is way better than mine, I will not give Dudu to you, and you should not try to buy me off through money. Although I am very poor now, I will not be moved by money! You should die as soon as possible."

Yuan Long tightened his lips and pinched his his eyebrow with his thumb and index finger.

Seeing that he seemed to have a headache, Yu Shanshan reflected on whether what she said was too harsh. So she cleared her throat and relaxed the conditions. "Of course, Dudu has half of your blood. I'm not trying to isolate you completely from him. It's okay if you want to see Dudu in the future. I'm a very accommodating person."

"Yu Shanshan." Yuan Long stopped pinching his eyebrows and looked at her with calm eyes. "I didn't want to snatch Dudu. I never thought of robbing Dudu away from you. Dudu will not leave you. "

Yu Shanshan was suddenly speechless.

He doesn't want Dudu? You think about Dudu leaving her? So he just wants to be a cheap dad but doesn't want to be responsible?

I can't believe he's so irresponsible!

Luckily, the little fat man still likes his father so much, but the little guy can't imagine that his father actually didn't want to be responsible for him at all.

The little fat man would surely die of grief if he knew.

Yu Shanshan could not help feeling sad, feeling that she was a fool at all, thinking about how to negotiate with him and fight for Dudu, but she didn't expect that this person didn't even plan to take him away at all.

People don't want her Pangpang after all, only she wants her own little Pangpang.

Yu Shanshan's tears suddenly came down and she pointed angrily at Yuan Long. "Since you don't want Dudu, what are you still doing here? Dudu doesn't want your false concern, you go away, go away! Us mother and son are living very well, and we don't need you to disturb us!"

Seeing Yu Shanshan crying suddenly, Yuan Long was at a loss. Did he say anything wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?

All the worries and uncertainties originally hidden in his heart were reduced to nothingness under her tears, and he could no longer help but hold her in his arms, patting her and coaxing her like he did many years ago, "Don't cry, don't cry ~"

Falling into this familiar embrace again after many years, Yu Shanshan seemed like a flood that found an outlet. She shed her tears desperately, and beat him with one hand   "Get out of here, we don't want you at all, who do you think you are? Without you, I’m very good with Dudu, and there is no need for you to act hypocritically here!"

Yuan Long allowed her to beat him, only wiping her tears with his hands. After she finally calmed down, she began to explain: "I’m not being a hypocrite, it’s not that I don't want to Dudu. I want him. I want him very much. I have missed three years of his life. I don't want to miss any more. I want to see him grow up"

Yu Shanshan froze and suddenly burst into tears.

Yuan Long patted her on the back helplessly. "Why are you still as impatient as before? You really have to make your own conclusions first without letting the other person finish?"

Yu Shanshan shrunk her mouth and said angrily, "What on earth do you mean then? You did say  you didn't want to take Dudu. That's what you said!"

Yuan Long held her face, looked into her eyes seriously, and said, "I want Dudu, but I also want you. I want to take care of both of you. I want Dudu to live with Mom and Dad. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Yu Shanshan: "Hiccup ~"

The corners of Yuan Long’s mouth curved up as he continued patting her back until he was sure that she was no longer hiccuping. He then stood up, took two steps back Shanshan's dazed eyes, slowly took a box out of his trouser pocket, took out the ring in the box, and knelt down on one knee like a devout believer.

He asked, "Yu Shanshan, I want to marry you and take care of you and Dudu for the rest of my life. Will you let me?”

Yu Shanshan has been completely muddied.

Countless fireworks exploded in her mind, crackling and ringing, and her ears were buzzing, unable to tell whether she was hearing voices or not.

Seeing that Shanshan did not speak, Yuan Long rarely felt a little uneasy and still held the ring. "I’ve chosen it at the shopping mall after I sent Dudu to school today. I was in a hurry and didn't order the best for you. We will buy it later if you want something else."

Yuan Long paused and continued: "I've already made a marriage report as well. We can go and get the license when the political review is conducted after the approval. I'd like to take you and Dudu to the Imperial City to get the license. If you don't agree, we can also get the license here. "

This sentence is like a switch. Yu Shanshan suddenly shivered. The fireworks in her head were completely set off and returned to silence.

She looked at the man who was still kneeling in front of her with the ring in his hand and kept saying in her heart: "He proposed to me! He proposed to me! He proposed to me!

Yu Shanshan thought about countless scenes of how they would negotiate, but there was no such scene like this one.

She never thought that he would ask her to marry him and promise her a future.

She never thought that someone like her would one day be proposed by a handsome man on one knee. She had such a dream when she was a girl, but she never thought of it again, even now that she met him once more. She never dared to even think about it.

Who can tell her what to do now?

Seeing that she was still silent, Yuan Long sighed, "Baby, are you going to refuse me? You don't want Dudu to have a father, does this mean you want to find him a stepfather instead?”

"What stepfather?! No, I didn't!" Yu Shanshan stared at the diamond ring shining in the light, her heart still beating, but at least her brain was starting to function properly.

The question now is whether to take this ring or not.

But this multiple-choice question seems to have no difficulty in her. She never wanted to find Dudu a ‘stepfather’.

After sniffling and thinking for a while, Yu Shanshan asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you ... are you sure you want to marry me like this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "

Yuan Long's heart suddenly felt as if it had been hit hard by something, causing him to feel bored with pain.

She has always been a little princess who was as proud as a peacock, so confident and brilliant, she was always indomitable, confident and heroic toward her goals. However, at the moment, she unconsciously reveals such a strong inferiority complex. What made her become like this?

Yuan Long felt even more guilty. He blinked his eyes with difficulty. He looked at her and asked with a smile, "Why should they be laughing at me? Shouldnt they envy me instead? The son is very cute and the wife is also very cute.

The wife is also very cute ......

He said she was cute .......

Yu Shanshan admitted that although she knew this sentence was not true, she’s willing to deceive herself. She was so happy that she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

Seeing her smile, Yuan Long heaved a deep sigh of relief. finally, the big rock that made her uneasy fell to the ground. "Shanshan, I am kneeling now. My knee hurts. Do you still want the ring?"

"Who says no? Yes!" Yu Shanshan twisted his fingers awkwardly and finally reached out her left hand.

Yuan Long smiled and slowly and devoutly slipped the ring on her ring finger.

The ring was the circumference that he had observed for a long time by her fingers. Now it seems that he has made a very accurate observation and the ring is just the right size.

Looking at her ring finger finally wearing the ring he bought, Yuan Long could not help but gently kissed it.

From now on, whether she likes it or not, whether she withdraws or not, whether she regrets it or not, he will firmly bind her and prevent her from flying away again.

If she wanted to fly, he would do anything to break her wings.

Yu Shanshan couldn't help crying again, and indeed started sobbing.

Yuan Long took her into his arms again and gently wiped her tears. "Why are you crying again? You cry more than Dudu."

"Waaaaa ~ you big bad guy." Yu Shanshan cried so much her tears were all over his shirt. "You are a scumbag."

Yuan Long: ......

Yu Shanshan: "You leave after bullying others, so irresponsible, are you a scumbag?"

Yuan Long: "... I am."

Yu Shanshan: "You have not come to me for four years. You have not seen me at all for four years. If you knew that Dudu existed even when you saw me, would you say that you are a scumbag?"

Yuan Long: "... I am."

Yu Shanshan: "You didn't show up until now. You still ignored me and didn't talk to me. You only talked to Dudu. Are you a scumbag?"

Yuan Long: "No, I'm just afraid you won't----"

Before Yuan Long's words were finished, Yu Shanshan pointed to him and started crying again, "Are you still trying to justify it? You just didn't want to talk to me, you rascal! "

Yuan Long: "...... Okay, okay, okay, I’m a scumbag, I’m a bad guy, I’m wrong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ignored you."

Only then did Yu Shanshan stop crying, but the tears could not be controlled and were still rushing down her face.

Seeing that she could not stop crying, Yuan Long simply bowed her head, grabbed her lips, and used this method to completely stop her crying like before.

This method was as good as ever. Yu Shanshan stopped crying completely, opened her eyes wide, and her head crashed again.

I don't know how long it took, but when Yuan Long let her go, her brain was turned on and rebooted, but the first reaction was to push him away and step back two steps away, as if looking at a rascal, pointing at him trembling,. "who allowed you to be a hooligan?"

Yuan Long was somewhat puzzled: "Can’t I kiss my own wife?"

Yu Shanshan shook her head frantically. "Who is your wife? Do you have a certificate? Take it out and let me see it."

Yuan Long: "...... Where shall I sleep tonight?"

Yu Shanshan pointed to the sofa. "Of course you still sleep on the sofa, or do you want to drive without a license?"

Yuan Long: ......

It seems that we should go back early to get the license.

Monique: "I want Dudu, but I also want you" Yu Shanshan showed us how amazingly strong she is by making Yuan Long sleep in the goddamn sofa even after she heard him say those words. Ayiyiyiyi.

Anyway sorry I was late. I've been slow this month. I'm dying at my workplace. I hate my job. My only consolation was that my boss will be lonely man till the day he dies because nobody likes him. I only had a few hours of sleep last week due to stress-induced insomnia. The workload I recently have is enough to help out a department for two months. So imagine that. Apologies for the rant.

I also deadass made the God of Fortune as my lock screen because my idol Xiao Zhan had the same one for years and look where he is now. I am currently looking for a new job, trying to squeeze out whatever miracle the God of fortune can offer me.
