My Dongguan Love Story

When Li Jie heard me ask him why he wasn't eating, he was immediately filled with anger and indignation: "You two are always so lovey-dovey in front of me, I'm sick of it, I'm so angry, I have no appetite to eat."

He had already cursed the two of them in his heart, his anger seething inside but he dared not voice it. He only glanced at Lin Guilian shyly, then turned to Dazhuang and said softly, "Dazhuang, how about we order this beautiful lady a pig's trotter rice too?"

When I heard Li Jie's words, I realized that Lin Guilian probably hadn't had lunch yet. So I called the owner over and ordered another dish.

When Lin Guilian saw that I was about to order, she quickly stopped me, saying, "No need to order, I can't eat much."

She glanced at me, a little shyly, and said gently, "I'll just share a bowl with you."

In the past, she would never have gone to such lengths to ingratiate herself with him. But now, consumed by resentment, she had lost her usual composure and rationality, her only thought being to win over Dazhuang. Only with a formal title could she have the confidence to compete with Tang Yan openly and face her head-on in the future.

I was taken aback by Lin Guilian's words: "Eat the same bowl with me?"

It's not that I dislike Lin Guilian, I'm just not used to it. Besides, one bowl isn't enough for me, how can I share it with others? So I said to her, "It's okay, just order some, one bowl isn't enough for me anyway."

"Oh." Lin Guilian nodded, picked up the bowl on the table, picked up a piece of lean meat and handed it to me, a smile on her face: "Come on, Dazhuang, have some meat."

When I saw her raise her hand to feed me, a hint of embarrassment flashed across my face. I'd never been served like this by a woman before, and I felt incredibly awkward and embarrassed. I was about to refuse, but the meat was already at my lips, so I had no choice but to open my mouth slightly and accept it.

Seeing our affectionate behavior, Li Jie assumed we were showing off our love and was instantly stunned, his mouth agape. He froze on the spot. It took him a while to recover, and he quickly lowered his head to eat, muttering to himself: "How old are we? Still needing a pretty girl to feed us? That's so cloying."

After eating several bites of the meat Lin Guilian offered me, I couldn't take it anymore. Seeing her offering me more meat, I felt a little embarrassed and turned to her, saying softly, "Um, Guilian, I'd better eat it myself!"

Hearing my words, Lin Guilian laughed and stuck out her tongue, saying shyly, "No, I'm going to feed you. If you don't open your mouth to eat, I'll use my mouth to pick up the meat and put it in your mouth."

Hearing Lin Guilian's words, I trembled violently. Feeding me meat with her mouth? That's far too intimate and bold…

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced around and noticed everyone casting gossipy and teasing glances my way. My face instantly burned with embarrassment, and I wanted to disappear into thin air. Knowing that continuing this awkward silence would only make things worse, I sighed inwardly.

Fine, I just obediently opened my mouth.

This meal left me feeling incredibly uneasy and anxious. Even though the braised pork knuckle rice smelled delicious, I couldn't taste a thing. My eyes kept darting around, constantly aware of the gossipy gazes around me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

The bowl of rice was quickly emptied, and Lin Guilian deftly brought over a new bowl, gently feeding me a mouthful. A shy blush played on her lips as she gazed at me tenderly and said:

"Dazhuang, I'm actually very virtuous and kind. If I were your girlfriend, I would cook for you every day and feed you. When you get old and can't walk anymore, I'll push you around in a wheelchair for a walk."

A gentle afternoon breeze caressed Lin Guilian's hair. Her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, and she looked up at me shyly, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Looking at her gentle and shy appearance at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little moved. If I hadn't seen her fierce and shrewish side in person, I might have really believed in her tenderness.

But recalling how she had kicked Tang Yan hard in the stomach this morning, she couldn't help but be astonished by the ruthlessness and decisiveness of her actions. It was a stark contrast to her gentle and tender demeanor before her.

I sighed and couldn't help but say:

"Sigh! I'll be lucky if they don't end up hitting me."

When Lin Guilian heard me say that I was afraid she would beat me when I got old, she wasn't angry at all. She just smiled and covered her mouth, saying, "No, how could I beat you? But if you're with Tang Yan, with Tang Yan's fiery temper, she might beat you when she's old."

Sigh! Tang Yan doesn't seem reliable either. This morning, she forcefully dragged Lin Guilian off the motorcycle, displaying the same fierce and domineering spirit as before. With a personality like that, I'd be content if she didn't take good care of me in the future, let alone lose her temper with me.

It seems I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Otherwise, when I get old, the two of them will beat me up from both sides. My old bones can't withstand that kind of suffering.

I pondered for a moment and analyzed, "Tang Yan does have a bad temper, but you're strong. That kick you gave Tang Yan was even stronger than mine."

When Lin Guilian heard me say that, she looked a little embarrassed and stammered for a while before finding an excuse:

"I was completely stunned when she pulled me out of the car. It was just a reaction in the heat of the moment; I'm usually quite gentle."

As she spoke, she gently twirled the ends of her hair by her ear with her fingertips, her eyebrows curving into a smile, displaying the demeanor of a soft and coquettish young woman.

I rolled my eyes inwardly. "I don't believe you! You little devil!"

Anyway, I've made up my mind not to get too close to Lin Guilian. I'm genuinely afraid of her and Tang Yan together. Forget about them beating me up when they're old; I'm even afraid that if things continue like this, they'll team up and beat me up. If two women gang up on me, how could I possibly withstand it?

Besides, Lin Guilian knew I was seeing several men at the same time, yet she still insisted on getting involved. I feel her values ​​aren't quite right. Plus, I'm currently in a mess with my love life, so I definitely can't afford to get involved with her.

After we finished eating, I told her, "You should go back to your rented room first."

When I told Lin Guilian to leave, she pouted and shook her head, saying, "I'm not leaving. I'll wait for you to get off work."

When I heard that she was waiting for me to get off work, my face immediately darkened.

I need to go to Secretary Su's to fix a lightbulb tonight, and then I have a date with Lin Huimin. She's waiting for me to get off work, so how am I supposed to go? Am I supposed to take her with me on my date with Lin Huimin?

Seeing Lin Guilian's determined not to leave, I tried to reason with her and appeal to her emotions: "Listen to me, go back first. It's so sunny here, you'll get a tan, that won't be good."

Seeing that Lin Guilian remained unmoved, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say something ambiguous: "I like fair and tender skin."

Upon hearing my words, Lin Guilian's previously firm expression relaxed somewhat.

She thought about it and realized it was indeed too hot here, even though there were sunshades. The ultraviolet rays were everywhere, and after spending the whole morning there, she was covered in sweat, and her skin was slightly red from the sun.

It gets even sunnier and hotter, especially around noon and in the afternoon.

She was also afraid that if she got a tan, she wouldn't be able to compare with Tang Yan anymore. So she could only nod in agreement.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw she agreed to go back. Before I could even recover, I heard her say:

"Then kiss me, just one kiss and I'll go back."

"Huh?" I stared at her, then at Li Jie, who was staring at me dumbfounded. And there were the workers around us who had finished eating but weren't leaving, sitting there gossiping. Then I leaned towards her and said:

"This isn't a good idea, there are too many people."

Before I could finish speaking, Lin Guilian suddenly lowered her head and gave me a deep kiss on the lips. Then she stood up, her face flushed, and gave me a shy look: "I'm going back now."

After saying that, it skipped away happily like a little rabbit.

Watching her leave, Li Jie turned to me and gave me a thumbs up: "Dazhuang, I'm really impressed. Your skills at picking up girls are amazing."
