My Dongguan Love Story

Gazing at her partially concealed figure, I looked away somewhat embarrassed. Lin Tao usually dressed simply, and I had never noticed before how well-endowed she was.

I couldn't look her in the eye, so I lowered my head and walked to her side, reaching out to check her breathing. Seeing that her breathing was even, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Turning my head, I saw the faucet was still spraying water, and I roughly understood what was going on.

It seems that she was startled by the sudden spray of water while washing her hands, and in her haste to back away, she slipped and fell, which caused her to faint.

I gently nudged her shoulder and whispered, "Lin Tao, Lin Tao, wake up."

Seeing that she still didn't wake up, I increased the pressure on my hands and gradually raised my voice.

After a moment, Lin Tao's eyelids suddenly twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. The blinding sunlight shone in, and she quickly closed them again. Through her blurry vision, she saw the person squatting beside her, and startled, instinctively waving her hand to the side.

Lin Tao suddenly reached out and attacked. I didn't have time to think and quickly ducked. But she swept her foot and kicked my leg. The ground was slippery, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

The moment I landed, a wave of wet, cold water hit me. Looking down, I saw that my shirt and pants were soaked through, clinging tightly to my body, making me feel stuffy, uncomfortable, and extremely unwell.

I looked at her helplessly and asked, "Lin Tao, what are you doing?"

Lin Tao was now fully awake, and her vision had returned to normal. Her gaze fell on me, and fragmented memories slowly returned, gradually bringing back what had just happened.

She recalled what had just happened: first, while washing her hands, the faucet suddenly sprayed water, startling her. In her haste to back away, she slipped on the wet floor, lost her footing, and fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness. Then, she heard the voices calling her name repeatedly; it must be Dazhuang.

Realizing she had been out of her mind, she instinctively tripped Dazhuang, causing him to fall to the ground as well. Lin Tao's cheeks flushed instantly, filled with embarrassment and remorse. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Dazhuang, let me help you up."

After she finished speaking, she pushed herself up to stand up. Just as she took a step forward to help me, she suddenly felt a sticky, cold, and uncomfortable sensation all over her body. She subconsciously looked down and then froze. Her clothes were completely soaked, clinging tightly to her body.

Lin Tao's cheeks flushed instantly. She hurriedly hugged herself and turned her back to me. Her voice was both shy and anxious as she said in a flustered tone, "Dazhuang, could you go out for a moment?"

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Seeing her flustered and embarrassed appearance, I finally realized her predicament and quickly responded. I pushed myself up from the slippery floor, walked quickly out of the bathroom, and gently closed the toilet door behind me.

I stood outside, watching my soaked clothes dripping water, and smiled bitterly to myself. I had been tripped by Lin Tao for no reason and ended up in a sorry state.

I took off my shirt and hung it in the air conditioner vent. My pants were cold and sticky, making me feel terribly uncomfortable, but out of consideration for my appearance, I didn't dare take them off completely.

The air conditioner fanned up, sending out gusts of cold air. Even with the windows wide open, the entire room remained bitterly cold.

The air conditioner's airflow occasionally swept across my legs, and the cool breeze from the window kept blowing in, making my legs shiver. I looked around and caught sight of the blankets on the bed, and an idea immediately came to me.

Oh, right, you can take off your clothes and hang them out to dry in the ventilator, then hide under the covers!

I looked up at the closed bathroom door, hesitated for a moment, gritted my teeth, and made up my mind.

I quickly pulled off my pants and underwear, hung them near the air conditioner vent, and then crawled into bed. The warmth enveloped my body, instantly dispelling the damp, cold, and sticky discomfort, and I felt much more comfortable.

Meanwhile, Lin Tao, inside the bathroom, stared helplessly at her wet clothes clinging to her body. She glanced at the closed door, then looked around, her face filled with embarrassment and frustration.

The bathroom in this small hotel was windowless, with no windows at all, making it impossible to take off her wet clothes and hang them to dry. There were also no spare clothes in the bathroom, leaving her in a dilemma and completely at a loss.

She hesitated for a long time, a chill gradually creeping over her. Suspicious, she tiptoed to the door, quietly opening it a crack, and a biting gust of cold wind immediately rushed in.

She looked up at the air conditioner and saw Dazhuang wrapped in the blanket, looking quite content. She was both amused and exasperated.

"Dazhuang, why are you still keeping the air conditioning on? It's freezing." Lin Tao frowned slightly, her tone tinged with reproach. She was already feeling uncomfortable from the damp clothes clinging to her body, and the fact that the other person had turned on the air conditioning made her feel even colder.

Hearing the sound, I turned to look through the crack in the door and saw Lin Tao peeking out, her face showing some displeasure. I quickly pointed towards the air conditioner and explained, "My clothes are completely soaked, so I can only hang them here to dry."

Lin Tao was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked towards the air vent. Sure enough, she saw several pieces of clothing hanging there, swaying gently in the cold wind. Seeing this, she understood that this was indeed done to dry the wet clothes.

But when her gaze fell on the blue boxer shorts, her cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She thought to herself: Why is he hanging his underwear out like that? Does that mean he's naked under the covers right now?

Lin Tao's ears burned, and she quickly closed the bathroom door, too embarrassed to leave. But after only a few minutes, a biting chill began to creep in, and she trembled uncontrollably. She was secretly worried; if this continued, she was sure she would catch a cold.

She looked around and suddenly noticed a white bath towel on the side, and an idea immediately came to her mind.

Yes, why not take off your wet clothes, wrap them in a bath towel, and then hang them in the air conditioner vent? They should be dry in about an hour.

But the thought of Dazhuang being outside made her hesitate, her cheeks burning red.

A cold wind blew in gusts, making her legs shiver. She steeled herself; if she endured it any longer, she'd definitely catch a cold. She couldn't care less about anything else.

She slowly took off her wet clothes, and after hesitating for a moment, she even took off her undergarments. Stepping through the water stains, she picked up a bath towel and wrapped herself in it.

The bath towel wasn't wide, but it covered her body completely, preventing any accidental exposure. She was still cold, but much more comfortable than before. She took a deep breath, opened the door a crack, and said, "Dazhuang, close your eyes first, I'm going to hang up some clothes."

Hearing the sound, I looked up at the bathroom door and saw her standing behind the crack in the door, her face flushed. I immediately nodded and replied, "Okay."

I closed my eyes, thought for a moment, then pulled the blanket over my head to avoid her suspecting that I was secretly watching.

Seeing that I was completely buried under the covers, Lin Tao finally felt a little relieved. She gripped the bath towel tightly in her left hand, afraid it would slip, and carried her wet clothes in her right hand, tiptoing carefully toward the air conditioner vent. As she walked, she kept turning her head to look at me, always wary that I would lift the covers.

But she was so focused on being wary of me that she didn't notice where she was stepping. She stepped into a puddle and suddenly slipped. She lost her balance instantly and fell backward, crying out in surprise, "Ahhh!"

Upon hearing the scream, I instinctively threw off the covers and looked over.
