DD Chapter 50

 

Shanshan decided to act on her words. The next day, she went online to find an institution specialized in teaching children boxing and sent her energetic, strong-as-an-ox chubby boy to learn.

 

Yan Shao, in his leisure, accidentally glanced at her phone browsing page, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, “You want to send your chubby boy to learn boxing?”

 

Shanshan gave a casual “hmm” and continued searching.

 

Yan Shao glanced at the chubby meatball sitting not far away, secretly sneaking candies, chuckled, “Indeed, he needs to exercise.”

 

Shanshan caught the undertone of his words, knowing that he was hinting that her chubby son was too fat and needed to lose weight. Although she also thought so, when it came to her son’s dignity, she was absolutely determined to defend it. “You, a single man who doesn’t know if he’ll ever have children, what do you know? Chubby kids are cute, my chubby boy is cute, too. He’ll be tall and handsome in the future, just like his dad. I’m sending him to learn boxing because it’s good for his health, and my chubby boy has great strength, which makes him suitable for this.”

 

Yan Shao snorted, too lazy to refute her nonsense seriously, and said, ‘stop searching online. You can’t tell anything from the internet, and no formal institution will accept such a young child.”

“It’s okay, do we really have to wait until the little one is six? But she feels that their chubby’s energy and strength are no less than that of a six-year-old.”

 

Seeing Yu Shanshan in a dilemma, Yan Shao spoke up, “I know a martial arts gym specializing in boxing. I know the owner inside, I can arrange for him to take in your little chubby.”

 

Yu Shanshan’s eyes lit up, “What gym?”

 

Yan Shao smirked, “Beg me, beg me and I’ll tell you.”

 

Yu Shanshan: “You jerk! I won’t beg you.”

 

Yu Shanshan walked away without looking back, not wanting to see this jerk. She would find a boxing gym for her little chubby herself, she was sure she could find one.

 

But before she could search for one herself, Yuan Long sent her an address at noon, telling her it was a combat club where people could learn boxing. He had already talked to the owner and she could take Dudu there directly.

 

Su Yue’s eyes lit up, her man was reliable indeed, as for that jerk, she didn’t need to bother with him!

 

Yan Shao, seeing she really wouldn’t come to him for help, gritted his teeth in frustration.

 

It happened to be Yan Shao’s day off the next day. When Yan Shao was off, Yu Shanshan naturally had the day off too. She took Dudu to the club according to the address.

 

It was a large club, though called a club, it was actually a training institution. It was divided into several floors, the first floor specifically for teaching children boxing. As soon as she entered, she heard a group of children laughing and shouting, around seven or eight years old, wearing boxing gloves, punching sandbags and shouting.

 

Yu Shanshan explained her purpose to the receptionist, who immediately made a call, and soon a young man in his twenties came down. He was tall and strong, and after seeing her, he asked, “Are you Yu Shanshan?”

 

Yu Shanshan nodded, wondering why the owner was so young, so she asked, “And you are?”

 

The young man quickly changed his address, ‘sister-in-law, I’m Feng Wei, the owner here.”

 

Yu Shanshan was curious why he called her sister-in-law.

 

As if knowing her confusion, he explained proactively, “I used to be a soldier, trained by Yuan Long himself. But later I got injured and had to retire, otherwise I would still be fighting alongside Yuan Long.”

 

Yu Shanshan understood now, no wonder Yuan Long knew the owner here.

 

Feng Wei smiled and looked at Dudu, who was being led by Yu Shanshan. He was instantly charmed by the cute appearance of the little one, squatting down to his level and asking, “Are you Dudu?”

 

Dudu nodded, greeting him in a childish voice, “Hello, uncle.”

 

Feng Wei thought Yuan Long’s son was really cute, speaking with a childish tone. Although very cute, he was too young. Did they really want such a small child to learn combat sports? The youngest child here was six years old.

 

Feng Wei uncertainly asked Yu Shanshan, ‘sister-in-law, Dudu is so young, are you really sure you want him to learn combat sports? Shouldn’t you wait until he’s a bit older? Children this young might not have enough strength in their limbs and can easily get injured.”

 

Yu Shanshan tried to defend her chubby son, “My Dudu is very strong, and don’t judge him by his size, he’s very agile. You can test him and see. If he really can’t do it, then I’ll wait until he’s older.”

 

After thinking about it, Feng Wei took the mother and son to the top floor. This was a private training room where boxing matches were sometimes held.

 

Feng Wei found the smallest pair of boxing gloves and helped Dudu put them on, then he put on protective gear for him. After making sure everything was okay, he put on a pair of gloves himself and said to Dudu, “Dudu, later you’ll throw punches at uncle with all your strength, okay?”

 

Dudu had seen Yuan Long boxing at home before, so he knew how to throw punches. He nodded confidently, instructing, “Uncle, be careful.”

 

Feng Wei smiled, squatting down in front of him and raising his fist, “Okay, uncle will be careful, go ahead.”

 

Dudu immediately became serious, raising his fists and shouting, then he punched fiercely towards Feng Wei’s fist in front of him.

 

“Bang!” The sound of fists colliding echoed, Feng Wei’s arm recoiled slightly, almost knocked back by the force of the little guy’s punch.

 

This kid has such strength?

 

Feng Wei looked at the chubby figure in front of him in surprise, his eyes shining differently, and said with a smile, “Little guy, come again!”

 

It was Dudu’s first time wearing boxing gloves like this and the first time exchanging punches with someone else. He felt very curious and comfortable, he liked boxing like this!

 

Hearing Feng Wei say come again, he didn’t hesitate to use all his strength to punch, listening to the sound of fists colliding, his eyes lit up, his body filled with strength, punching one after another, faster and heavier with each punch.

 

What surprised Feng Wei even more was that although the little guy was small, under such powerful punches, he didn’t wobble like other children might, or even fall back by himself. He stood very steadily, even instinctively widened his legs, leaned forward, lowering his center of gravity to increase the stability of his lower body.

 

It seemed like he had a natural talent for attacking that ordinary people couldn’t reach.

 

Indeed, he was the son of the boss, like father like son!

 

After the little guy threw dozens of punches in a row, Feng Wei called a stop, took off his gloves, and lifted the little guy up, praising him, “Great job.”

 

Feeling embarrassed by the praise, Dudu shook his hand, remembering his dad saying he should be modest, and waved his hand, “Just okay.”

 

Feng Wei chuckled, carrying him off the stage, and walked to Yu Shanshan, saying, ‘sister-in-law, Dudu is very strong, and he has a natural talent in this aspect. Is the boss teaching him at home?”

 

Yu Shanshan shook her head.

 

Feng Wei felt even more convinced of the little guy’s talent, “He hasn’t practiced before, but he’s so good on his first try. Dudu is really suitable for learning boxing. I’ll take him as my student.”

 

Yu Shanshan felt relieved and quickly thanked him, ‘thank you then.”

 

It’s the first time the chubby one has made her proud like this, looks like she’ll have to treat him to a chicken leg when they get back.

 

At this moment, the door of the training room suddenly opened, and a male voice came in, “Feng Wei, what are you doing here?”

 

As soon as Yu Shanshan heard this voice, she felt a chill down her spine. She turned around in surprise and saw that it was Yan Shao who entered from the door.

 

How did this sarcastic guy end up here?

 

Yan Shao, seeing Yu Shanshan and Dudu here, also looked slightly surprised. He seemed to understand something in his heart, but still asked, “What are you doing here?”

 

Feng Wei asked in confusion, “Do you two know each other?”

 

Yan Shao tacitly agreed.

 

Feng Wei then lifted Dudu in his arms and explained, ‘sister-in-law brought the child here to learn boxing. I just tested the little guy, he’s really amazing. We’ve got the youngest student here now.”

 

Yan Shao raised an eyebrow and looked at Yu Shanshan inquisitively, ‘sister-in-law?”

 

Feng Wei explained, “Dudu’s dad is the boss I used to work for in the army.”

 

Yan Shao raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit surprised inside. He didn’t expect his partner to have such a relationship with Yuan Long, he didn’t even know.

 

Originally, he was planning to let Dudu come here to learn, but unexpectedly, Yu Shanshan didn’t rely on his connection and ended up here anyway. How coincidental.

 

Listening to all this, Yu Shanshan also felt a bit strange and asked Yan Shao, “What’s your relationship with him? Are you also a coach here?” Is this person multitasking or something?

 

Yan Shao raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong with that?”

 

Feng Wei patted Yan Shao’s shoulder and introduced to Yu Shanshan, ‘sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my partner and also one of the owners here.”

 

Yu Shanshan looked at Yan Shao in surprise, “You’re the owner here?”

 

Yan Shao sat down on a nearby chair, glancing at her, “Is there a problem? Can’t I be the owner here?”

 

Yu Shanshan pouted, thinking it’s really a small world. She just brought her chubby son to find a boxing gym, and coincidentally ended up on this guy’s turf? As a mother, she’s already miserable enough, being tortured by him every day. Now her son is entering his territory and is about to start being tortured as well?

 

Could it be that she and her son offended this sarcastic guy in their past lives, so they’re destined to suffer under his clutches in this life?

 

Yu Shanshan couldn’t help but look up at the sky, feeling like sighing.

 

Although she didn’t want her chubby son to live under the enemy’s camp, considering that probably only this place in the whole city would accept a three-year-old kid, Yu Shanshan eventually paid the tuition fee. The little guy became the youngest student here, starting his daily training without any hindrance.

 

Usually, children don’t like various interest classes and training courses, but Dudu unexpectedly liked it very much. He found boxing interesting, much more interesting than following his mom to lose weight, so he didn’t ask to go to the gym with Yu Shanshan anymore. Instead, he eagerly ran to the club every day, without getting bored for a single day.

 

Every day when Yu Shanshan sent him off, he waved goodbye to her in a decisive manner, without any reluctance. Sometimes he even urged her not to linger and leave quickly.

 

With a tone of seeing through everything, Yu Shanshan said to Yuan Long, “I think our chubby will definitely be the type to forget his mother once he has a wife in the future.”

 

Yuan Long didn’t understand how she figured that out from their Pangpang learning boxing, so he asked, “Why do you say that?”

 

“Look at him, he just found something he likes a little bit, and he’s already forgotten about his old mom, leaving her behind. Do you think if he meets a girl he likes in the future, he’ll remember his old mom who raised him through hardships? I think when he gets a wife, it’ll be the day I lose my son.”

 

Yuan Long thought about it and said seriously, “I think what you said makes sense. Our Pangpang will definitely be the type to forget his mother once he has a wife in the future.”

 

Yu Shanshan glared, “Hey! Aren’t you supposed to comfort me and say our Pangpang isn’t like that?”

 

Yuan Long chuckled lightly, “Alright, I was just teasing you. Why worry about that? He’s only three years old, it’s too early to think about finding a wife.”

 

Yu Shanshan shook her finger, “No no no, it’s not too early. Kids nowadays mature early, who knows, maybe they’ll start dating in elementary school.”

 

Yuan Long: …….Forget it, he could never keep up with her train of thought.

 

After some thought, Yuan Long decided not to discuss with her here whether Dudu would forget his mother once he got a wife, but instead said, “Even if Dudu grows up and finds a girl he likes, it’s okay. Wherever he goes, you have me, you’ll always be the most important in my heart.”

 

Yu Shanshan suddenly bit her finger, feeling a bit ecstatic by his words.

 

Yeah, with a husband who loves her, why bother about that brat? If he forgets his mother once he has a wife, it doesn’t matter, after all, raising a son is like raising someone else’s child, it’s a losing business and shouldn’t hold any hopes.

 

Thinking like this, it’s better to raise a daughter. Daughters are like the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, raising them doesn’t incur losses.

 

So she might as well have another daughter.

 

Yu Shanshan went from thinking about her son learning boxing to the necessity of having a daughter, then to the thought of needing a man to have a daughter, and then to the fact that her only man was far away in the army and never came home, and then she felt cold.

 

“It’s all your fault, I don’t even have a daughter now!” Yu Shanshan muttered towards Yuan Long on the other end of the screen.

 

Yuan Long was puzzled by what she said, “Where did the daughter come from?”

 

Yu Shanshan pursed her lips, suddenly feeling angry, glaring at him, “When are you coming back? It’s been almost a month, you clearly said you”d come back last time but you didn’t . Do you not want us, mother and son, anymore?”

 

Last weekend, Yuan Long originally planned to come back to see them, but unfortunately, he received an urgent task at the last minute and had to leave on a mission. By the time he returned after completing the task, the entire army was engaged in a joint military exercise. The higher-ups attached great importance to this exercise, and as one of the commanders, his responsibility was significant. He couldn’t slack off for a moment, let alone leave his post, so he didn’t have time to come back.

 

Yuan Long felt guilty towards the mother and son duo again and apologized to her, “I’m sorry, darling, it’s my fault. I promise you, as soon as this exercise is over, I’ll rush back to see you and Dudu. Can you forgive me one more time?”

 

Yu Shanshan felt gloomy, but she didn’t really blame him. She knew that as a soldier, he had significant responsibilities, and many times he couldn’t help it. Although she complained to him, she didn’t really blame him in her heart. She just missed him too much, so she expressed her longing through a little quarrel.

 

“Well, then, you”d better hurry back to see us, or else the chubby boy will forget who his dad is.”

 

Yuan Long promised, “Okay, I’ll come back soon.”

 

So Yu Shanshan counted the days until his return, but she didn’t expect the person she was waiting for didn’t come back, but someone else came instead.

 

One day, Yu Shanshan was just finishing her day’s training, planning to pick up her chubby son and go home, but she met someone downstairs whom she really didn’t want to see.

 

Yu Shanshan was about to pretend she hadn’t seen her and leave, but she was stopped by her.

 

“Yu Shanshan, stop right there! I came here specifically to find you.”

 

Named directly, Yu Shanshan had to stop her steps and pretended she had just noticed her, “Oh, it’s you. What are you doing here?”

 

Yuan Ran snorted and casually looked Yu Shanshan up and down, still wearing a disdainful look on her face. However, she was secretly shocked. Just now, she almost didn’t recognize her. If she hadn’t seen the previous Yu Shanshan, she wouldn’t have recognized the person in front of her as the chubby Yu Shanshan from two months ago. The current Yu Shanshan was about eighty percent similar to her appearance four years ago, but she looked nothing like she did two months ago.

 

When she didn’t speak despite staring at her, Yu Shanshan became impatient, “Do you have something to say or not? If not, I’ll leave.”

 

“Hey, don’t leave, I have something to tell you!” Yuan Ran shouted at her again.

 

But Yu Shanshan didn’t want to listen to her. Although she didn’t know why she was here, it definitely wasn’t for something good. She would be a fool to stand here and listen to her nonsense.

 

“I have to pick up Dudu and go home. I don’t have time to chat with you. Goodbye!” Yu Shanshan turned around and continued to walk away.

 

Yuan Ran exploded with anger, stomping her foot and shouting loudly, “Don’t you want to know about my brother and Mingyue sister’s situation?”
