Dudu's Diary Chapter 10

Sleeping and eating at home made it possible for Shanshan to quickly gained back, and had a tendency to surpa.s.s, the weight she had previously lost. Wu Jing was originally staring to see her lose weight, but since she's currently disabled, she could no longer bear to torture her and turned a blind eye to her food and drink instead.

Yu Shanshan thinks that maybe this is her actual life now and she's not fated to be thin in this lifetime.

Since there's no chance, she might as well just let it be.

In this way, after a week, Yu Shanshan succeeded in gaining 1kg more than she had before losing weight.

Good, it's even worse now.

This blind date's only result is definitely death.

This morning, Aunt w.a.n.g came to personally supervise Yu Shanshan's blind date. Yu Shanshan wore a white tshirt and black trousers. Aunt w.a.n.g immediately patted her thigh. "Oh, you don't know how to do this, at least wear a skirt and put on makeup or something, so you'll look good."

Yu Shanshan pinched her own flesh and pointed to her leg. "Auntie w.a.n.g, there will be no less meat if I wear a dress and apply make-up, it's all in vain. Besides, I have broken legs and using crutches. I'll go this way."

Aunt w.a.n.g pretended to hit her. "Why are you so unmotivated? Wearing skirt and makeup is also a sign of attention and courtesy. Go, go, don't be too slow."

Under Aunt w.a.n.g's strict watch, Yu Shanshan had no choice but to change into a dress and put on make-up, only then was she allowed to go out.

Just then, there's a little trouble before they're about to head out. Aunt w.a.n.g hesitated to go with Dudu and whispered, "Shanshan, you won't take Dudu with you right?"

Yu Shanshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Aunt w.a.n.g, you didn't tell anyone that I have children, have you?"

Aunt w.a.n.g said, "I did, I told you I didn't hide this, but isnt it too inappropriate to take the child with you at your first date?"

Yu Shanshan disagreed: "I think this is more appropriate, Aunt w.a.n.g. Since the other party knows that I have children and has agreed to meet me, it means that he has accepted Dudu's existence. If he would mind seeing my child for the first time, that means this person is not suitable for me, so there's no need to further date me. Don't you think, Aunt w.a.n.g?"

Aunt w.a.n.g thought it's reasonable. If the young man couldn't accept the Dudu, then he doesn't need to get along with her. "All right then, take him with you."

Yu Shanshan celebrated in her heart. 

Dudu is very excited because his mother's going to take him out to play. Since his mother's leg was injured, he had not gone out to play for a long time.

But when he got off the bus and saw his mother took him into the cafe, he was a little confused. He pulled up her skirt, looked up and asked, "Mom, aren't we going out to play?"

Yu Shanshan rubbed his round head. "Eating is also fun. I'll give you some ice cream later."

Originally Dudu was a little disappointed when he heard that he's not going out to play, but when he heard the ice cream, the disappointment immediately disappeared. His short legs tumbled up quickly and was extremely happy. "Then, Mom, let's go in quickly."

The mother and the child entered the cafe and the waiter immediately came forward to inquire. Before Yu Shanshan could carefully pick out who her date is, a male voice came over, "Miss Yu, here."

Yu Shanshan turned to look and saw a man in a short-sleeved gray shirt standing up in his seat and waving at them.

There is no doubt that this is her blind date.

Yu Shanshan walked over with a crutch stick in one hand and Dudu in the other. It was only when she got closer that she could see the man's appearance clearly. Surprisingly, unlike what she had guessed before, this man's face is pretty and not so ugly that he couldn't find a girlfriend. So why does he need a blind date?

The man held out his hand and stiffly said, "h.e.l.lo, Miss Yu. My name is Yi Feng."

"h.e.l.lo, my name is Yu Shanshan." Yu Shanshan released Dudu, shook hands with the man, then introduced Dudu next, "This is my son, Dudu."

Yi Feng looked at Dudu, smiled and bent down to reach out his hand. "h.e.l.lo, Dudu."

Seeing that he wanted to shake hands with him so solemnly, Dudu's small expression, which was still full of doubts, immediately turned to a positive color. He solemnly stretched out his fleshy claws to shake the other's hand. "h.e.l.lo, I'm Dudu, please treat me kindly"

Yi Feng was amused by the little guy's adult-like expression and looked at Yu Shanshan with a smile. "Dudu is so cute," Yi Feng said. "

"Oh, it's all right, he's very naughty." Yu Shanshan replied modestly. But in fact, his praise is very useful in her heart.

Whether the man was lobbying or not, he did a good job of saving face. She had thought that he would change his expression the moment he saw the two of them.

However, this person feels very simple, honest and shy, and he's a little nervous to talk to her. It's really rare for a man of this age to be like this.

Just thinking about it, Yi Feng put the menu in front of the mother and son, "Feel free to order what you want, make yourself at home."

Yu Shanshan would not be polite to him. She immediately ordered a cappuccino, ice cream and a snack for Dudu.

Dudu was still wondering who this uncle was and why he wanted to eat with them, but when he saw the delicious food, he immediately put the doubts behind him and ate heartily.

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

And here I was, wondering how I can make up a story if you will suddenly ask me. Bah, I think too much.

Probably because Dudu was present, Yi Feng was too embarra.s.sed to say anything, just watching Dudu eat, Yu Shanshan didn't want him to say anything either. But this is a blind date and some words are still needed to be made clear, for example, they are not suitable.

So, seeing that Dudu had eaten almost everything, Yu Shanshan pinched his meaty chin, pointed to the fish tank not far from the door and said, "Dudu, look! Fish!"

Dudu's eyes immediately lit up and hurriedly leaned over his small body and said, "Mom, I want to see the fish."

"Go ahead." Yu Shanshan grabbed him under his armpits and lifted him to the aisle to let him go and play.

When the little guy left, Yi Feng seemed relieved and finally spoke to her formally. "Miss Yu, I heard that you used to dance before?"

It seemed that he had racked his brains to think of such a topic. Yu Shanshan was not good enough to lose face and nodded, "But now I don't jump like I used to, as you can see, I'm too fat to jump."

He didn't expect that she would take the initiative to speak about her figure. Yi Feng, who had planned to speak carefully and never mentioned the words about her body, was a little confused for an instant and thought for a long time before adding, "It's a pity, but you can still lose weight."

Yu Shanshan: "......"

Bruh, do you know you've just offended me? Telling a woman that she should lose weight will get you beaten to death, don't you know that?

Seeing that Yu Shanshan's expression was not so good, Yi Feng realized too late that his answer might not be quite right, and hurriedly opened his mouth to remedy it: "But in fact, if a girl is fatter, she will not easily get sick."

Yu Shanshan: Bruh, I finally understand why you need to rely on blind dates. The problem lies in your EQ.

"Pffftt----" Ji Xian, who happened to be sitting at the table behind Shanshan, finally couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and his shoulders shook with laughter. "This brother's EQ moves me. Doesn't he know that the last thing a woman wants to hear is that she's fat and strong?"

Yuen Long did not smile. His eyes were fixed on the coffee cup in front of him.

Ji Xian smiled and said, "I feel like I have a special bond with this mother and son. I didn't expect to meet them again here. The woman who is currently on a blind date behind is the mother of that lovely child. Do you still remember the last time we met in the hospital?"

Yuen Long pursed his lips and gently touched the rim of the cup with his fingers.

Ji Xian continued to say: "But it's a little strange, why would you still go on blind dates when you have a child already? Is the husband dead? Or is she divorced? "

Yuen Long's fingers, that were tapping on the rim of the cup, stopped.

There was no response to his three questions. Ji Xian finally sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Yuen Long raised his eyes and landed on the opposite table. He only saw half of a man's face, but his voice could be heard.

The conversation over there has come to an end.

Yi Feng asked Yu Shanshan for contact information, and his face is still a little red. "Miss Yu, let's add each other on WeChat so we can get in touch again."

Yu Shanshan raised her eyebrows in surprise. Why did this guy start mentioning WeChat? He still wants to keep in touch? Does he really have a crush on her?

"Mr. Feng, it isnt difficult for you to like fat people?"

Embarra.s.sed, Yi Feng shook his head honestly and faltered out, "No, I ... I just ..."

"Well, I know Mr. Feng." Yu Shanshan interrupted him. "I know you're giving me face, but I know we are not suitable, and you don't have to force yourself. Let's just let it go."

Without waiting to see each other's expression, Yu Shanshan picked up her crutch and stood up to leave.

Who would've thought, that at the very moment she turned her head, the person she didn't want to see most, suddenly appeared in front of her.

It's still the same resolute face in her memories, those eagle-like sharp eyes that are deep enough to suck people in. At the moment, those very eyes are staring at her steadily, the deep darkness almost made her unable to breathe.

Yu Shanshan's heart almost stopped.

"Miss Yu---" Yi Feng stood up as if he wanted to say something more. But before he had the chance to say it, Yu Shanshan suddenly looked like her b.u.t.t was burned. She slipped away and walked quickly toward the door on her crutches. Pa.s.sing by Dudu, who was watching the fish not far away, she grabbed him and disappeared outside.

Yi Feng was dumbfounded. It's his first time to see someone could actually walk that fast on crutches.

Is Miss Yu that unwilling to stay with him?

Thinking this way, Yi Feng bowed his head in frustration and observed a moment of silence for the failure of his thirteenth blind date. Even Miss Yu despises him? Is he such a failure?

*****

On the other hand, Yuen Long stared at the two figures, one big and the other small, until they disappeared. Yet, he still did not withdraw his eyes.

Ji Xian swayed in front of him and asked strangely, "Yuen Long, do you really know that mother and son? I find that every time you see them there's something especially wrong with you. What's the matter with you? "

Yuen Long did not hear what Ji Xian was saying now. What kept coming back to his mind was the chubby figure of the little boy.

His heart is beating faster and faster, and an incredible yet subtle idea came to his mind uncontrollably. although he knew that he was probably crazy to think so, he still asked Ji Xian, "How old do you think that little boy is?"

Ji Xian was stupefied, and then replied: "About three or four years old. Why?"

Three or four?

With a shortness of breath, Yuen Long suddenly stood up and left in a hurry, leaving behind the words "I'll go first. I have something to do." making Ji Xian completely bewildered.

在心里比了个耶 I gave up on this. I don't understand what this means exactly

初次见面请多指教 "Chūcì jiànmiàn qǐng duō zhǐjiào" This expression doesn't have a translation AFAIK. It's used for strangers meeting for the first time. It's kinda close to "Please kindly take care of me"

This is 兄弟 "Xiōngdì" which means "Brother" but I took a small liberty because Yi Feng's being annoying.

I'm pleased at myself that I was able to update a chapter a day lately. I'm on the mend now but work is still stressful so this productivity is a miracle. Either that or I'm a workaholic. I'm still in denial. What I'm sure is that I'm excited on how this novel will progress. 

BUT I will releasing the next three chapters at the same time so please give me a few days for them. Thanks!
