My Dongguan Love Story

Lin Huiqing blinked her big, bright eyes and readily agreed, "Of course, no problem! Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll definitely persuade my sister to stop throwing a tantrum at you."

She thought to herself, her brother-in-law has always had a good temper, and he always thoughtfully massages her and her sister to relieve their fatigue. She doesn't want to lose such a reliable and considerate brother-in-law.

After saying that, she quickly walked to Lin Huimin's side, affectionately took her sister's arm and gently shook it, softly advising, "Sister, I've heard everything from your husband. You're still angry with him. Don't be stubborn anymore."

Lin Huimin's anger hadn't subsided at all. She gave her sister a cold glance and said, "What do you know? This matter won't be so easily forgotten."

Seeing her sister's pale face and her pondering for a long time, Lin Huiqing's gaze inadvertently fell on the collapsed bed in the room. She immediately spoke up, "Sister, look how good your husband is! He massaged you so hard that the bed collapsed. Where can you find such a wonderful brother-in-law?"

Lin Huimin followed her sister's gaze to the collapsed bed, and rolled her eyes helplessly: "This bed wasn't collapsed by a massage, it was clearly..."

She hesitated to say it, but then felt too embarrassed to continue.

Lin Huiqing, her face full of curiosity, tilted her head and asked, "It wasn't damaged during the massage? Then how did the bed suddenly collapse?"

Looking at her younger sister's innocent and bewildered eyes, Lin Huimin felt too embarrassed to tell her the real reason. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and could only shake her head helplessly to change the subject: "Don't worry about that. It's already dark. Hurry up and go into the kitchen to cook."

Lin Huiqing playfully stuck out her tongue and obediently replied, "Okay!"

As I turned to follow my sister into the kitchen, she deliberately turned back and gave me a secret smile, her eyes full of smug satisfaction at having helped me succeed.

Looking at her adorable appearance, I couldn't help but smile. In any case, the fact that Lin Huimin was willing to invite me to dinner and not bring up the past meant that she was probably mostly over her anger and had implicitly forgiven me.

I went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette to calm myself down a bit, thinking I'd go in and help with the cooking. But as soon as I entered the kitchen, the two sisters laughed and chased me out, so I had no choice but to stay obediently in the living room and wait.

More than half an hour later, all the food was ready, and I quickly went over to help bring the dishes to the table one by one.

Lin Huimin was already sitting quietly at the dining table, her expression indifferent. Lin Huiqing glanced at me, and seeing me still standing there dumbfounded, she immediately strode over, reached out and pushed me to the seat next to Lin Huimin, pressing me down to sit: "Brother-in-law, sit down quickly, next to my sister!"

After saying that, she picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and started eating first.

I glanced at Lin Huimin beside me. Although she was pouting slightly, looking a little awkward, her expression was gentle, completely unlike her previous angry and cold demeanor.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly picked up a piece of tender chicken and put it in her bowl.

She glanced at me briefly, then lowered her head and silently ate.

The family ate their meal quietly for a while. After finishing, Lin Huiqing took the initiative to clear the dishes and urged us to go and rest first.

I was just thinking of making a good impression and doing more work to appease Lin Huimin, so I immediately offered, "I'm free, not busy at all. I'll wash the dishes."

Hearing this, Lin Huiqing playfully gestured towards the bedroom and teased with a smile, "Brother-in-law, the bed in the room has collapsed, and you still say you're busy with nothing?"

I froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered this. A worry crept into my mind: the bed had completely collapsed; how was I going to sleep tonight?

I gave an awkward laugh, went into the room and glanced at the bed. The entire bed frame was crooked and completely collapsed; it couldn't be repaired at all. Besides, the bed was already old, and it wobbled around when I slept on it; it wasn't sturdy at all. I might as well just replace it with a new one.

Lin Huimin leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. After listening, she rolled her eyes and whispered reproachfully, "It's all your fault. You were pushing too hard and broke the bed."

I jokingly teased her, "What's the point if you don't put in some effort? Don't you know that all too well?"

Lin Huimin immediately recalled the scene from earlier, her face turning bright red. She quickly changed the subject with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense! Now that the bed has collapsed, how are we going to sleep tonight? It's so late, and we can't buy a new bed."

The bed was very simple, just a plain wooden frame with a thin mattress.

I scratched my head and thought for a moment, then started to dismantle the collapsed bed frame, laid the wooden planks flat on the ground one by one, and then put the thin mattress on top. I turned to her and said, "Let's make do with this for tonight, I'll go buy a new bed tomorrow."

Lin Huimin quickly shook her head, looking worried: "Sleeping directly on the ground is not a good idea. The ground is cold at night, and it's easy to catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, I took a step forward and hugged her, whispering teasingly in her ear, "With me holding you, how could I let you catch a cold? I'll make sure you stay warm tonight."

Lin Huimin's body stiffened abruptly, her ears instantly turning bright red. She gently pushed me away, but the force was too weak to have any effect. Seeing me lean down to kiss her, she panicked instantly, glancing hastily at the open door, and whispered, both shy and anxious, "Don't be silly! The door's still open, Huiqing's still outside!"

"Okay, I'll go turn it off right away."

I walked quickly over, gently closed the door, turned around, and hugged Lin Huimin tightly from behind. My warm breath brushed against her ear, and I whispered softly, "Huimin..."

The warm breath brushed against her ear, stirring her emotions and making her feel weak all over. Forcing herself to remain calm, she softly asked, "Dazhuang, do you remember what I told you when we first got together?"

I was so immersed in tenderness that I was completely dizzy, and her question caught me off guard. I quickly calmed myself down and tried to recall what had happened.

I remember the first time I came to her house, when our relationship was blossoming, she did say something to me, but I can't recall it right now.

Meeting her probing and disappointed gaze, I suddenly remembered.

She asked me earnestly, "I just want to find a reliable and dependable boyfriend. Can you do that?"

At that time, I was so excited that I impulsively agreed without thinking.

Now she's suddenly bringing up old grievances, clearly showing she still minds that I was seeing multiple men at the same time.

Thinking of this, I unconsciously loosened my grip on her, feeling both guilty and flustered.

Lin Huimin noticed my low spirits and didn't press me any further. What's done is done, there's no point in blaming me now.

She had considered breaking up with me completely, but once you've truly fallen in love, it's not something you can just let go of. Even if she was reluctant, she couldn't get over it in her heart. She simply couldn't accept that I was still seeing other women, and she felt conflicted and distressed.

After a long silence, she sighed softly, her tone filled with helplessness yet earnestness: "Dazhuang, I truly love you, and that's why I want to have you completely. I won't force you, nor will I make things difficult for you. I'll give you time; you need to sort out all those entanglements outside, okay?"

I immediately understood what she was thinking, but my mind was in complete chaos, and I had no idea what to do.

She simply wanted me to cut off all other feelings and devote myself entirely to her.

But I just can't do it. I've always been soft-hearted, and no matter who it is, I can't bring myself to say goodbye.

Ultimately, it was my own greed that led me to lose control of myself, and I deserve to end up in this situation.

Lin Huimin noticed my hesitation and panic, and didn't say another harsh word. She suddenly turned around, gently kissed me, looked steadily into my eyes, and said softly, "Dazhuang, I won't put pressure on you. I'll wait for you patiently."

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned down and kissed me deeply, her slender hands gently roaming over my body.

Feeling that gentle yet tender kiss, I felt both guilty and heartbroken, and immediately responded to her with all my might.

At that moment, all the turmoil and panic in my heart vanished. I knew clearly that I had let her down. Even though she was full of grievances, she still chose to forgive me and give me time, which completely softened my heart, leaving me with only guilt and deep affection.

The bedroom was quiet, with only the two of them breathing rapidly and intertwined.
