DD Chapter 63

 

Yu Shanshan stepped into the classroom with a cold face, hands on hips, and a sinister tone, “Pangpang, what were you just doing?”

 

Dudu twisted his chubby hands, his little feet tapping on the ground, and he dared not look at his mom’s terrifying face at the moment.

 

Seeing this, Tiantian hurriedly stepped forward to protect Dudu, bravely facing Yu Shanshan, and said in a sweet voice, “Auntie, please don’t hit Dudu, okay? I gave him the snacks myself.” She knew Dudu’s mom didn’t allow him to eat snacks, and if he did, he would get spanked, which hurts a lot.

 

Facing this little girl who was deceived into giving him drinks made Yu Shanshan’s face too difficult to bear. She couldn’t help but bend down and rub the little girl’s cheek, reasoning with the little one, “Tiantian, Dudu is really too fat. He shouldn’t eat so many snacks, or he’ll get even fatter, and then he won’t look good.”

 

Tiantian turned her head to size up Dudu, lingering on his round belly for two seconds, then said with a guilty conscience, “Auntie, Dudu is not fat at all. He looks very good. And grandpa says children shouldn’t go hungry; they need to eat enough to grow tall.”

 

Yushan thought to herself, how could the chubby boy go hungry when he can eat two or three servings of food at a meal? How could he not grow tall?

 

It must be this unscrupulous chubby boy fooling the little girl into thinking he can’t eat enough, then using it as an excuse to eat her snacks!

 

But obviously, the little girl had already been brainwashed by the chubby boy. Now she was very protective of him, even saying lies like “Dudu is not fat” with a guilty look in her eyes when she said it.

 

If this chubby boy isn’t fat, then there aren’t many fat kids out there!

 

Seeing Auntie’s still grim face, Tiantian felt very worried for Dudu. So she mustered up her courage, went forward, and hugged Yushan’s leg, pleading pitifully, “Auntie, please, don’t hit Dudu, okay?” According to Dudu, his mom’s spankings hurt a lot, and she was really worried.

 

Seeing the pitiful and innocent look in the little girl’s eyes, Yu Shanshan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. She originally thought that her chubby son, like this, would live a lonely life, but she didn’t expect that at just three years old, he already had a little girl willing to stand up for him, or rather, stand up for his fatness. It seems he’s quite good at it.

 

It seems she couldn’t beat the chubby boy in front of the little girl today; it wouldn’t give her any face. So she put on a motherly smile and kindly reassured Tiantian, “Don’t worry, Tiantian, Auntie won’t hit Dudu. I promise you, okay?” She won’t hit him herself, but she has other people to do it.

 

Hearing Auntie’s assurance, Tiantian finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling and turning to Dudu happily, “Dudu, your mom won’t hit you anymore.”

 

But Jujube didn’t seem happy because of this sentence. He still looked despondent. According to his understanding of his mom, she wouldn’t let him off the hook.

 

His mom would change her face!

 

Sure enough, as soon as they got home, Yu Shanshan’s motherly face immediately turned into a wicked stepmother’s face, pointing at the wall and saying, “You, go over there and stand at attention!”

 

Dudu stood there very consciously, heels together, toes slightly apart, hands hanging down, fingertips touching the seams of his pants, back straight, eyes fixed ahead, not daring to move.

 

Yushan walked around him twice, somewhat satisfied with his military posture, saying, “From now on, you are not allowed to move until I tell you to. If I say move, then you can move. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being tough on you.”

 

Dudu blinked pitifully.

 

Er Bao watched for a while and finally understood that Dudu was being punished. Seeing Dudu’s pitiful look, Er Bao quickly walked over, circling Dudu and occasionally bumping him with his head, then whining twice.

 

Yushan waved to Er Bao, “Er Bao, come here, don’t comfort him. He did something wrong and needs to be punished.”

 

Er Bao whimpered again.

 

Yushan sighed, shaking her head firmly, “No, you can’t plead for him!”

 

Er Bao stopped whimpering, stood upright, and with his hind legs supporting his body, he leaned forward with his front legs together, as if begging Yu Shanshan for mercy.

 

Yushan thought their dog had become quite clever; it even learned to plead for mercy, but she couldn’t help but wonder who taught it. It wasn’t difficult to guess; besides Dudu, no one else would rely on a dog to plead for them.

 

Though tempted to give in by Er Bao’s pleading, Yushan knew she couldn’t indulge the child at critical moments. She shook her head at Er Bao, “No, don’t plead for him.”

 

Er Bao had no choice but to whimper sadly, then slowly lowered his front paws, licked Dudu’s face, and rubbed his chubby cheeks with his own face, as if saying: “I can’t save you now, you have to behave.”

 

After rubbing, Er Bao didn’t leave; he just lay down beside Dudu’s feet, silently accompanying him.

 

When Yuan Long came back, he saw Dudu standing at attention in the corner, which raised his eyebrows, “What’s going on here? Did he make a mistake?”

 

Yu Shanshan checked the time; Dudu had been standing there for half an hour, so she finally spoke up, “Alright, that chubby boy over there, come here.”

 

Dudu, sweating profusely from standing still, instantly relaxed and walked to the sofa, dejectedly.

 

Yu Shanshan said to him, “Tell your dad what you did to make Mom angry.”

 

Dudu pouted, looking pitifully at his dad, and mumbled, “Dad, I secretly ate snacks.”

 

Yushan added, “He’s been cheating his classmate out of snacks every day. His classmate’s entire bag of snacks ends up in his belly. This kid, to eat snacks, told me to pick him up ten minutes later every day, claiming he wanted to play with classmates longer before coming home. Little did I know he wanted an extra half hour to eat snacks! I even thought he was doing well with his diet these days and took him out for dinner as a reward. It’s all for nothing!”

 

“And he’s really cunning. He even asked me for a small mirror. After eating snacks, he checks himself in the mirror to make sure I don’t catch him. Can you believe it? If I hadn’t come ten minutes early today, he would still be fooling me now.”

 

Yuan Long clenched his fist, suppressing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

 

This boy was quite clever.

 

Yu Shanshan punched him. It was time to discipline, not laugh! They agreed on being strict parents, didn’t they?

 

Yuan Long remembered the ‘strict father, kind mother” education method Yu Shanshan secretly discussed with him, so he decided to satisfy his little wife. He suppressed his smile, cleared his throat, and looked sternly at Dudu, “Do you know you did wrong?”

 

Dudu quickly agreed, “Dad, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

 

“Will you sneak snacks again in the future?”

 

Dudu shook his head immediately.

 

“So, since you made a mistake today, are you willing to accept Dad’s punishment?”

 

Dudu nodded dejectedly.

 

Yuan Long said, “Alright, after dinner, Dad will punish you. For now, let’s eat dinner.”

 

Yu Shanshan whispered to him as he walked by, “Are you tired from training today?”

 

Yuan Long paused, puzzled, “Why do you ask?”

 

Yu Shanshan wondered, “Then why wait until after dinner to punish him? Is it more effective after dinner?”

 

Yuan Long pondered for a moment before shaking his head and chuckling, “What are you thinking? When did I say I would punish him? ”

 

“Not punish?” Yu Shanshan protested, “I promised the little girl not to punish the chubby boy.”

 

Yuan Long didn’t understand the connection between the two.

 

Seeing his confusion, Yu Shanshan stomped her foot, “Hey, being a person means keeping your word! I promised the little girl not to punish the chubby boy, but I didn’t promise not to punish him. You can punish him.”

 

“Well, let’s skip the punishment for today. I’ll punish him later, okay?”

 

“Fine.”

 

After the family finished dinner, Yuan Long changed into sportswear and put Dudu in his little sports suit, then took both of them downstairs to the playground. The playground had a large track and field area, as well as basketball hoops and ping-pong tables, for the residents” daily exercise and entertainment. Many people would come down to walk or run after dinner.

 

Yuan Long took Dudu to a corner of the playground, did some stretching exercises, and said to Dudu, “Come on, follow Dad.”

 

Dudu, being obedient now, tried to ‘reduce his sentence,” so he followed his dad’s movements very obediently.

 

After stretching, Yuan Long announced to Dudu,

 

“Alright, let’s begin.”

 

Dudu’s heart trembled at the words. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, gathered all his strength, and then solemnly walked to Yuan Long, turned his back to him, and protruded his chubby buttocks, tremblingly saying, “Dad, go ahead and hit me.”

 

Yuan Long: “…Hit you?”

 

Dudu, sadly covering his buttocks, looked back at him pitifully, pinching his index finger and thumb together, making a final plea, “Dad, can you hit me a little lighter? There are so many uncles, aunties, grandpas, and grandmas here. If you hit too hard, I’ll lose face. I still have to hang out here.”

 

Yuan Long: …

 

Yu Shanshan was already laughing hysterically, “Hahaha…” This silly son of hers, she could see he thought his dad was going to spank him in front of so many people?

 

Yuan Long couldn’t help but smile wryly; this mother and son had such unique thinking; he simply couldn’t keep up.

 

“Dad doesn’t want to hit you. Dad’s punishment for you is to run with me downstairs every day, three laps around the playground, before you can come home. If it’s raining, I’ll bring you down to box. Can you do it?”

 

So it wasn’t about spanking in front of the whole neighborhood, just running?

 

Finally preserving his dignity, Dudu’s eyes lit up instantly, surprised by the sudden joy, which made him very excited. He shouted in a voice that could be heard all over the playground, “Yes!”

 

Yuan Long waved his hand, “Okay, let’s go.”

 

The little guy immediately assumed a professional running posture and ran along the track with extra enthusiasm. With his short arms and legs, plus chubby cheeks, he looked particularly conspicuous among the adults running, attracting the attention of everyone exercising on the playground.

 

“Whose little guy is this, running so early?”

 

“Wow, the little guy runs so professionally.”

 

“Wow, he can still run after one lap. His stamina is impressive…”

 

Yushan nudged Yuan Long’s arm, pouting, “Is this your idea of punishment?”

 

Yuan Long ruffled her hair, “Children naturally love snacks, and it’s not realistic to not let him eat any. The more you forbid him, the more he’ll want to eat. Let him eat a little bit appropriately in the future, mainly yogurt and fruits. I’ll bring him down for a run at night to burn more calories, so I’m not afraid he’ll gain weight.”

 

Yushan thought about it and agreed. As long as he didn’t gain weight and exercised, maybe he’d grow taller in the future.

 

So, starting from that night, Dudu began his long journey of exercise. The residents in the neighborhood also got to know Dudu, and a few grandpas who loved kids would come down to the playground every night to run with Dudu, chatting and laughing with him.

 

Gradually, many parents also brought their children down for exercise, letting them follow Dudu’s lead. Children always liked to play with other children, so instead of running with the adults, they started running behind Dudu, turning the neighborhood into a scene of a children’s jogging club.

 

Surprisingly, running was quite effective for Dudu. After about ten days, Dudu visibly slimmed down, especially his double chin had reduced significantly, making his neck appear longer.

 

Yushan would accompany the father and son downstairs for a run every day, but she preferred exercising during the day, so she didn’t feel like running at night. She would sit on a bench, urging Dudu while browsing through social media, feeling relaxed.

 

However, this evening, she stumbled upon a big news story: “Kyoto Entertainment Vice President Wang Kun caught cheating with mistress!”

 

The accompanying picture showed a man and a woman passionately kissing at the entrance of a hotel, with the man’s hands inappropriately touching the woman’s body. The photo was obviously taken secretly but was clear enough to recognize Wang Kun’s face, while the woman’s face was partly hidden.

 

Wang Kun had always been portrayed as a good man and father, often displaying affection with his wife, causing many to envy their relationship. He was practically hailed as the epitome of a perfect couple in the entertainment industry. But now, this man, praised by all women, had cheated!

 

One can imagine the storm this caused online, with countless fans angrily cursing him on his Weibo, while also feeling sorry for his wife, famous actress Xu Weiran, sympathizing with her.

 

Of course, the mistress in the photo didn’t escape scrutiny either, as countless netizens tried to uncover her true identity. But so far, she hadn’t been exposed.

 

While others didn’t know who the mistress in the photo was, Yushan knew exactly, because even if she turned into ashes, she would recognize her. Wasn’t the woman in the photo one of her arch-enemies — Yu Ziqi?

 

Tsk tsk, this woman was really miserable, not only being the other woman, but also being caught on camera. Now countless netizens were trying to uncover her identity. If she were exposed, she’d be doomed.

 

Unable to help it, Yushan couldn’t help but laugh at the misfortune of her enemy.

 

Indeed, watching an enemy suffer was her greatest joy.

 

When Yuan Long came over with Dudu, he saw her laughing happily while holding her phone, and curiously asked, “Why are you so happy?”

 

Yushan laughed again, kissed her chubby son on the cheek, and said, “My chubby baby understands Mommy the best, better than Daddy.”

 

Yuan Long was surprised, “Is it true…? Which enemy met misfortune?”

 

Yushan handed him the news, and after reading it, he remained silent, without commenting.

 

“Now she’s really getting her just deserts, being the other woman. ” Yushan said a sentence and then laughed for a while, but then she just brushed it off. Anyway, this woman was worse than an ordinary person to her. It was enough to enjoy seeing her in trouble; she didn’t have that much energy to focus on her.

 

“But what she never expected was that Yu Ziqi would suddenly come knocking on her door at this juncture.
