Bonus Chapter 1: About Marriage
I. My name is Su Fannan.
My surname is Su, and my given name is Su Fannan.
I don't know why everyone else takes their father's surname, but I take my mother's surname.
My mom said it was because my dad might not be my dad at any time, and I cried in fear.
I asked, "Is my dad my dad?"
Dad said he was.
I told my mom that you might not be my dad at any time.
I heard my dad sigh and say to me, "It's true, but he really is my dad now."
I'm worried that I'll change my dad. I've already gained a lot of popularity because of my dad's status as a postdoctoral fellow, and I can't change to a dad who isn't a postdoctoral fellow.
Therefore, I strongly demanded that my mother not allow me to change my father.
My mother asked me why.
I told my mom in front of my dad that I liked him, and sure enough, my dad was very happy when I said that. He even bought me cheese sticks as a reward.
But I secretly told my mother the truth that night.
My mother kept laughing, and I didn't understand why she was laughing, even though it was a very serious matter.
I wasn't at ease until my mother finally promised me that even if I changed my father, I would get a postdoctoral fellow.
Unfortunately, Mom told Dad about it, and I almost didn't eat any snacks for a week.
Why do I say "almost"? Because my mom gave me some snacks, hehe.
Second, my parents are not my parents.
The children in the kindergarten all say that their parents have a red marriage certificate, because it is because of that red marriage certificate that they can become their parents.
They asked me if we had any at home.
I honestly told them that I had never seen that red booklet.
They enthusiastically told me they would bring it over for me to see tomorrow.
I saw that book, which had their parents' photos and names on it. I was curious if their parents' marriage certificate was like that too, so I decided to go home and look for it.
I have to do it secretly because my parents once said that I can't touch things randomly at home.
I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find that red booklet.
I cried. It turns out that my parents aren't my parents. Am I an orphan?
Aunt Hong rushed over to comfort me, but it was no use because she couldn't understand what I was saying when I was crying. I was so sad.
I was a little tired from crying when Mom and Dad finally came home.
They came back together and rushed over to ask me what was wrong.
I said I knew everything.
My dad was worried and asked me what I knew.
My mom actually looked at me with disgust and said I was pretending to be profound. That's so mean!
As expected, my parents aren't my parents at all, otherwise they would know what I'm talking about!
Third, it turns out that my parents are my parents.
My patient father finally got the information I knew. I wasn't planning to tell him, but he was so dense that he couldn't figure out what I was talking about even after trying for a long time.
My mother had already gone to her study to work. I can forgive her because my father said that our family relies on my mother to earn money and that she is our sugar daddy.
After my father found out, he told me that he and my mother never had a marriage certificate—a "red booklet".
I don't understand. The kindergarten kids all say that the red marriage certificate is proof of their parents' relationship.
Dad said no, the reason he and Mom didn't get a marriage certificate was because they didn't want to be tied down by marriage.
I don't understand, but I know that my mom and dad are my mom and dad. Hehe, my dad is a postdoctoral fellow, so he definitely knows more than those kids in kindergarten!
Fourth, I like my mom a little more than my dad.
I don't know why, but those adults always like to ask me whether I like my dad or my mom more.
I like them both, so why compare them?!
I was completely pestered.
I said I love my mom.
My dad was very sad, and I hugged him and told him that I had lied to them.
My mom has very good hearing. She asked me if I didn't like her.
I said I love my mom too, and I love both my dad and mom!
My dad doesn't bother me, but my mom insists on getting to the bottom of things.
I was forced to admit that I like my mother a little more than my father.
This time, Dad wasn't sad at all when he heard it. I asked him if he thought I was lying to Mom.
Dad said no, because he also liked Mom a little more than himself.
Why were you so sad just now? I asked.
Dad said he wasn't upset because of what I said, but because Mom said that if I said I liked Dad, she would ignore him.
Okay, I hate my dad now.
Actually, I do like my mom a little more than my dad, because my dad always says that my mom is my sugar daddy and I have to rely on her money to live, so I can't help but like her.
I once let it slip, and my dad looked at my mom with a mournful expression and said it was all her genes that made me love money so much at such a young age.
The mother was very happy, saying that the child was teachable.
I didn't understand what this meant, but I knew that my mother's happiness meant I would have more pocket money.
V. Why I am called Subannan.
The school asked us to explain the meaning of our names.
Let's go home and ask our parents.
I didn't really want to ask, because my name sounds very girly, but I'm a boy.
But it was an assignment given by the school, so I had no choice but to complete it.
I asked my mother.
My mom said that my name is Su Fannan because it's my favorite tomato and egg noodles that my dad makes. My dad fell completely in love with my mom at that amusement park in the south of the city.
When I told the kindergarten about it, they all laughed at me, saying my name was too hasty.
I felt ashamed and lowered my head.
That day, I made a decision: I would no longer be called Su Fannan.
I want to be called Su Shuaishuai.
This name highlights my characteristics and also makes me sound like a boy.
I emphasized to my parents and Aunt Hong that my name is now Su Shuaishuai, not Su Fannan.
My mom was the first to burst out laughing. She laughed at how awful the name I had chosen was. I got angry because I thought it sounded good!
My father suppressed a laugh and asked me why I chose this name.
I told them what happened at school.
Mom suddenly became serious and told Dad that she had to go and solve something.
I don't know what she was trying to resolve, but she just left. I know my mom is always so busy, and I understand her.
My father stayed behind, and he comforted me. My mother explained that it was proof of my parents' love, and that my name also had another meaning.
I asked what it meant.
My father said that "Fan" means reincarnation, and "Nan" means the warmth of the south. He hopes that I will live in a warm environment and be safe and healthy throughout my life.
I understand and accept it, so I don't plan to change my name.
For some reason, no one laughed at my name the next day, and I was even planning to use this explanation to refute them!
