Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Qinghe, I'm going to get out of the car to buy a few drinks and put them in the car. Wait for me a moment."

"oh!"

Ding Yang got off the bus, went to the convenience store, and bought six bottles of Red Bull and three bottles of mineral water.

"Brother, how long do we have to wait?"

"It shouldn't take long. My mom went by motorcycle; it should only take a few minutes."

Just then, Ding Yang's phone rang; it was Wang Chan calling.

"Hey, lawyer!"

"Xiaoyang, where are we?"

"We've only just set off; we haven't even reached the county town yet. We probably won't arrive until tomorrow."

"Xiaoyang, I've transferred the 50 yuan. Just have your grandfather check it out."

Thank you.

"Hehe, then come over and thank me!"

"Damn it, I'm driving, and my sister's in the car too. Don't talk nonsense, you're such a damn slut!"

"Alright then, come to my place when you get to Shenzhen."

"OK!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yang lit a cigarette.

Suddenly, he turned his head and kissed Qinghe passionately.

"Brother, we're on the street, someone's watching us."

"Hehe, I love kissing you, my lips are so sweet."

Qinghe blushed.

"Ugh, stop being so lecherous, okay?"

"I'm not actually a womanizer, I just like you. I can laugh in my dreams right now."

"Why?"

"You don't understand."

"Why don't you understand? Just because I'm a virgin?"

"Hehe, am I being cheesy, bro?"

"A little, but that's normal. After all, this is a woman's most precious thing, and not every guy gets to experience it."

"When I was in school, several of my classmates were messing around outside, hanging out with shady characters, and staying out all night."

"Those blond guys are obviously not good people. They take them to cheap hotels all the time. If they get married in the future, their husbands will definitely look down on them."

"Sigh, these days, I gave my virginity to a blond guy, my love to my ex, and reality to my husband."

"Of course, if they don't respect themselves, they'll regret it later."

"Brother, will you make me regret this?"

Why do you ask that?

"I hope you will continue to treat me well, and don't let me regret becoming your woman."

"Yes, don't worry, I'll be good to you."

"Pop!"

They kissed again.

The two waited for more than half an hour before Wenxiu arrived at Dingyang's car on a motorcycle with a box strapped to the back.

Wenxiu got off the motorcycle and gave the driver 15 yuan.

"Mom, why did you take so long?"

"It's been five or six kilometers, we talked for a while, it wasn't that long."

Ding Yang put the suitcase into the trunk.

"Mom, you sit in the back. Qinghe can sit in the front; she gets carsick."

"oh!"

We set off again, heading towards the county town.

We didn't get on the highway until noon.

"Xiaoyang, if you're having a hard time, Mom will drive."

"Mom, you can drive too?"

"Don't underestimate your mother, okay? She learned to drive eight years ago."

"Knowing how to drive doesn't matter. You have an American driver's license, but this is China, so it's like you don't have a license at all."

"Why don't you skip going to the US and apply for a driver's license at the DMV? It seems like in your case, you only need to pass the written test (theory test)."

"Xiaoyang, you don't want me to go to America?"

"Of course, haven't we been separated for so many years? Isn't that enough?"

"Xiaoyang, Mom will listen to you, but there are still some things that haven't been taken care of over there, so I still need to go. Once they're all taken care of, I'll go back to China and won't go again."

We drove south, stopping almost constantly except for rest stops and refueling at service areas.

We arrived at the Huadu Service Area in Guangzhou around 6 p.m.

Ding Yang was a little tired and almost dozed off.

"Mom, let's get off the bus and get something to eat. I'm a little tired."

"OK!"

Upon arriving at the service area, Ding Yang took Qing He's hand.

"Qinghe, we originally planned to stay overnight on the road, but we've already arrived in Guangzhou and aren't far from Shenzhen, so we won't stay overnight on the road tonight."

"Brother, even if we get to Shenzhen, we can stay in a hotel tonight."

"Qinghe, Tan Yan's mother is hospitalized with a broken bone. Now that I'm in Shenzhen, I want to go see her."

"I want to stay with you. Can you go see her tomorrow?"

"Brother, my back is killing me from sitting in the car for so long. Let's not go any further. How about we stay in Guangzhou for the night and go back to Shenzhen tomorrow?"

Ding Yang thought to himself, "This girl only got 'two whacks,' and she's already so agitated? Does she really want more tonight?"

Ding Yang nodded.

"OK!"

Take a break at the service area.

"Mom, I'm a little tired. I'm not going anywhere. I'll rest in Guangzhou tonight and go back tomorrow morning."

"Mom will listen to you."

"Let's get in the car. I'm getting off the highway. Let's find a nice hotel and have a meal first."

"Um!"

After exiting the highway, Ding Yang drove for about three kilometers and arrived at the Guangzhou Jiulonghu Princess Hotel.

"Mom, let's stay here tonight."

"I'll listen to you."

Upon arriving at the front desk, Ding Yang requested two executive double rooms.

Ding Yang didn't swipe his card; he paid in cash. If he had swiped his card, Tan Yan would have received a text message notification.

"Mom, let's put our luggage in the room first, then go to the restaurant for dinner. I just asked, and this hotel has both Chinese and Western restaurants."

"OK!"

The three of them carried their luggage upstairs.

"Mom, Qinghe and I will share a room, and you can have your own room. Here, take this room key."

Wenxiu wanted to laugh.

Open the door,

"Mom, why don't you rest for a bit?"

"No need, let's go eat. I'm hungry. I'll wait for you two by the elevator."

"good!"

Ding Yang and Qing He went to another room.

Close the door.

Qinghe hugged Dingyang tightly.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"I like holding you."

"Hehe, even virgins go crazy."

"Ugh, I'm not anymore. You've ruined me. I'm your woman now, so you have to treat me better."

"Pop!"

"Qinghe, wash your face. Let's go eat. I'm a little hungry. Don't keep my mom waiting by the elevator."

"I need to use the restroom."

Five minutes later, the three of them went downstairs and arrived at the Chinese restaurant.

The restaurant didn't have many customers.

Ding Yang ordered food,

"Braised abalone in oyster sauce, honey-glazed char siu, braised beef brisket with chu hou sauce, oyster omelet, pan-fried lotus root cake, and baby bok choy in broth."

"alright!"

"Three more cups of mango pomelo sago."

"Please wait a moment!"

Wenxiu asked, "How long have you two been together?"

Qinghe blushed.

"Mom, we've only been together for about two months."

The dishes arrived shortly afterward.

"Mom, try the braised beef brisket with chu hou sauce, it tastes good."

"Um!"

It took almost an hour to finish the meal.

"Mom, would you like to go for a walk outside?"

"No need, it's so hot, why bother with a walk? Go back to your room and rest. You've been driving all day, get some rest."

"OK!"

The three went upstairs.

"Xiaoyang, come sit in my room for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"oh!"

"Qinghe, go back to your room and rest for a bit. I'll talk to Mom for a bit and then come over."

"OK."

Ding Yang entered Wenxiu's room and closed the door.

"Mom, what's wrong?"
