My Dongguan Love Story

Lin Huimin had just reached the door when she bumped into Shufen, who had come out after hearing the commotion. She gave Shufen a cold glance, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Shufen watched her walk away, feeling puzzled. She turned around and went back inside to see Lin Guilian covering her face, her brows furrowed in pain, looking very uncomfortable. Shufen immediately understood what had happened. Without asking any further questions, she quietly closed the door and left.

After going downstairs, Lin Huimin became increasingly angry. First, Tang Yan came to her door and made things difficult for her in every way. Then, she was constantly harassed by the Zhao family mother and daughter. Now, she was being deliberately provoked by Lin Guilian for no reason.

All she wanted was to find someone who truly cared for her and have a peaceful, sweet relationship, so why did she have to encounter so many messy and troublesome things?

Overwhelmed with grievances and confusion, she couldn't help but begin to doubt whether choosing to be with Dazhuang was the right thing to do.

Dazhuang was naturally popular with girls and was never short of female companions. Although she was fairly attentive to him, with so many women around him, how much of his true feelings could he possibly have for her?

He couldn't even spend time with her properly, and she often wouldn't see him for days at a time. This relationship made her feel more and more miserable.

Standing at the hospital entrance, watching the people come and go, Lin Huimin felt confused and disoriented. After much thought, she decided to call Wu Jingru for advice; Wu Jingru was always there to help her with relationship problems.

The call connected quickly, and Wu Jingru asked in a lighthearted tone, "Hello, darling, what's up?"

Lin Huimin composed herself and told her all the upsetting things that had been bothering her lately.

Wu Jingru was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn't expected that Lin Huimin would first have a conflict with Tang Yan, then confront the Zhao family mother and daughter, and today she had even argued with Lin Guilian. While admiring Lin Huimin's fiery temper and resilience, she also felt she had completely seen through Da Zhuang's philandering ways.

Although she herself is not particular about details when it comes to relationships, she would never string together several people at the same time. Da Zhuang, on the other hand, is dating several people at once, which is really outrageous.

After Lin Huimin finished speaking, seeing that there was no response for a long time, she sighed and asked, "Jingru, what should I do now?"

Wu Jingru coughed lightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "What else can you do? Either continue dating him, or just break up. But you gave him your virginity, can you really just let go like that?"

Lin Huimin said helplessly in a low voice, "I can't force myself to live like this just because of this. Besides, I'm not even sure if he really likes me. If he really cared about me, he wouldn't have let me go through so much trouble."

After hearing her words, Wu Jingru felt helpless. The terrible things Lin Huimin had encountered these past few days were simply too outrageous; such a plot was rarely seen, let alone experienced firsthand, even on television.

After thinking for a while, she suggested, "How about this, you text Dazhuang to break up with him and test him to see if he'll try to win you back. If he doesn't care and agrees right away, it's clear he doesn't care about you, so you should break it off as soon as possible; if he's eager to win you back, it means he still cares about you, and you can continue to see how things go."

Lin Huimin was stunned upon hearing this, and hesitated before saying, "Take the initiative to break up? What if he readily agrees? Wouldn't that completely bury my first love?"

Wu Jingru chuckled helplessly, "What else can we do? He won't even say a word to try and keep us together. What's the point of continuing this relationship? Are you going to go and fight with those other women for him?"

Lin Huimin listened to her words and remained stunned for a long time. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but recall the first time she met Dazhuang, and the heart-fluttering joy when they were close. All the scenes flashed before her eyes, and her heart was filled with reluctance.

But Wu Jingru's words hit the nail on the head regarding reality.

Yes! If Dazhuang isn't even willing to offer her a word of persuasion, what's the point of her clinging on so desperately?

Moreover, with so many women around him, if he continues to waste time, he'll only suffer more mistreatment and conflicts in the future.

Love is inherently selfish; she simply couldn't bring herself to generously share her lover with others.

Moreover, what she wanted was never just to make do with life, but to have Dazhuang completely and exclusively hers.

These past few days, she has endured the difficulties posed by Tang Yan and the Zhao family mother and daughters without backing down, and she has never willingly competed with others for a man.

She was just holding onto a strong desire, thinking that as long as she could drive all these people away, she could finally have Dazhuang completely and be with him peacefully.

Lin Huimin stood at the bustling entrance of the hospital, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She struggled with the decision for a long time, feeling both afraid and reluctant, but the harsh realities of life weighed on her, forcing her to stop deceiving herself.

She gripped her phone tightly, her fingertips hovering above the screen, hesitant to press send.

This was her first love, the first person she ever gave her heart to, the first person she ever gave herself to.

She really couldn't bear to part with him.

But when she thought about the recent farces, Tang Yan's relentless pressure, the difficulties caused by the Zhao family mother and daughter, and Lin Guilian's provocations, her resolve crumbled little by little.

If Dazhuang truly cared for her, how could he let her face these women and endure these humiliations alone time and time again?

"Dazhuang, let's break up."

After typing those words, her eyes instantly reddened, and her heart ached terribly.

She didn't really want to break up; she just wanted to take a gamble.

She was gambling on whether he would try to keep her, and on whether she still held any weight in his heart.

She typed the message and placed it on the screen, staring at the text for a long time, her emotions churning. Her finger hovered above the send button, hesitant to press it.

She moved to a bench in the hospital corridor and sat down, staring blankly into the distance. Not long after, she saw an elderly couple, both over eighty years old, supporting each other, slowly walking up the steps and into the hospital for their appointment.

The simple scene of them keeping each other company warmed her heart.

This is the true meaning of "to have one heart that loves you, and to stay together until old age."

This is the kind of love she wants.

It's not about arguing, fighting, and constantly worrying about someone stealing your boyfriend; it's not about living in endless entanglements.

With this in mind, Lin Huimin finally made up her mind.

She gripped her phone tightly, mustered all her courage, and pressed the send button.

With a whoosh, the message was successfully sent.

In an instant, she tensed up to the extreme, her heart pounding wildly.

Countless thoughts rushed into my mind.

What will Dazhuang's reaction be when he sees this?

How will he respond?

Will she gently coax herself and beg herself not to leave?

Or will they call directly, anxiously trying to persuade me to stay?

Lin Huimin felt a mix of anticipation, trepidation, and unease as she quietly awaited Dazhuang's reply.

Half an hour passed, but her phone remained silent, without a single message. She picked up her phone again and again, worried that something was wrong with it or that it had run out of battery and missed a message, but everything seemed normal. She still hadn't received a text message from him, nor had she heard a call.

A sense of panic gradually welled up in Lin Huimin's heart. She couldn't help but wonder if Dazhuang really didn't care at all and had just tacitly agreed to the breakup.

The moment the thought popped into her head, her heart started racing, and she was so nervous that her heart was practically in her throat.

She had spoken so casually before, even saying that if Dazhuang didn't try to keep her, she would just let it go. But when faced with this situation, she felt incredibly reluctant to let go.

Dazhuang is handsome and dashing, and he was her first love. She had given him her most precious things, so how could she easily let go of him?

But Dazhuang didn't reply to her messages for a long time, and Lin Huimin was full of doubts. She could only keep reassuring herself that Dazhuang must be too busy to check his phone, that must be it.

Lin Huimin waited and waited, but there was still no news. She even almost couldn't resist the urge to call Dazhuang herself. But just as her hand was about to press the dial button, she calmed down and dismissed the idea.

No, even if I actually get through, I won't know what to say. I can't just directly question him about why he wouldn't try to keep me.

For a moment, Lin Huimin was in a state of confusion, feeling completely lost and at a loss.
