My Dongguan Love Story

This completely panicked me.

I was half asleep just now, and I thought those images were all just a dream. Little did I know that they were all real things that actually happened. I actually had a relationship with Lin Tao without even realizing it, and for a moment I didn't know what to do.

Seeing my flustered state, Lin Tao quickly pulled the thin blanket over herself, her cheeks still flushed, and she remained silent with her eyes downcast. Having gone through all this, she too was filled with mixed feelings and was equally at a loss.

Seeing her downcast and sad expression, I felt a pang of guilt. Meeting her gaze, I turned my head away in embarrassment. I tried to get up but realized my clothes were disheveled, so I gave up. Instead, I turned my back to her, pulled the blanket over myself, and lay quietly, afraid to move.

After a long stalemate, I suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound beside me, and I immediately turned my head to look.

I saw Lin Tao turn her body to the side with her back to me, her shoulders trembling slightly, clearly hiding to the side and secretly wiping away tears.

Hearing her suppressed sobs, I felt incredibly guilty. I quickly and gently moved to her side, touched her back softly, and asked in a low voice, "Peach, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing my voice, Lin Tao immediately forced back her tears, unwilling to show her vulnerability in front of me. She simply shook her head gently and whispered, "I'm fine."

I knew in my heart that she was just being strong-willed and deliberately lying to cover up her emotions.

How could this really be nothing? She has always valued herself, and now she has lost the thing she cherishes most in a muddle. It's no wonder she feels wronged and upset.

Although we had only just started dating, I was never sure about the relationship and never imagined she would give herself to me so easily. I imagine she must be filled with regret and remorse right now.

No wonder she's crying so hard right now.

The more she pretended to be strong and tried not to cry, the more guilty I felt, and for a moment I didn't know how to comfort her.

Just then, Lin Tao suddenly turned around, and our eyes met, so close that our noses almost touched.

She stared intently at me, and asked in an exceptionally serious tone, "Dazhuang, will you take responsibility for me?"

Hearing this, I felt a little guilty, but seeing her reddened eyes and aggrieved look, my heart softened instantly, and I could only nod solemnly and reply, "I will."

Actually, I didn't have any other choice. Things had come to this point, and I couldn't just take advantage of her and then turn around and say I only wanted to have some fun and wouldn't take responsibility. If I did that, given Lin Tao's personality, she would probably just throw me out the window.

Besides, I could never do something so irresponsible.

But when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I was troubled again. Although I was willing to take on this responsibility, I had too many worries around me, and my thoughts were in a mess, leaving me completely at a loss.

After hearing my reply, Lin Tao's tense expression finally relaxed. She reached out and hugged me tightly, gently resting her head against my chest, and softly murmured my name: "Dazhuang~".

I responded softly.

With a hint of grievance, she whispered, "I'm a very traditional person. I've never been in a relationship before. I was planning to have a proper relationship and give my virginity to my husband on our wedding day. But I was so confused today that I ended up like this with you."

Hearing Lin Tao's heartfelt words, I was instantly speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment. Fortunately, she didn't wait for my reply and began to mutter to herself.

"But there's nothing we can do now. What's done is done, and dwelling on it won't change anything. Fortunately, you're willing to take responsibility for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up, staring directly into my eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone, "Dazhuang, since that's the case, let's get married, okay?"

These words startled me so much that my heart skipped a beat, and I froze, my eyes widening instantly.

Seeing me standing there in shock, Lin Tao's gentle expression instantly turned cold, and she questioned me sternly, "What do you mean by this? You just said you were willing to take responsibility. Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

Her tone was icy, sending a chill down my spine. Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, I couldn't bring myself to refuse, so I could only gently persuade her, "Peach, it's too early to talk about marriage now. We haven't known each other long enough. Why don't we spend some time getting to know each other and working things out first? What do you think?"

Seeing that I didn't refuse, Lin Tao's expression softened slightly, and she nodded gently: "Okay, let's get to know each other a bit more, and then we'll get married at the end of the year."

After saying that, she tilted her head slightly, gently kissed me on the cheek, a faint blush rising on her face, and whispered, "Dazhuang, thank you."

A pang of guilt shot through me, and I asked, puzzled, "Thank me for what?"

Lin Tao nodded earnestly and slowly spoke her mind: "I've seen too many entanglements in relationships. Many men take advantage of women and then run away, refusing to take any responsibility. You're different. You're brave and willing to take responsibility. I, Lin Tao, haven't misjudged you."

After hearing Lin Tao's words, my guilt deepened even more.

Everyone says that if you don't love someone, you shouldn't hurt them. I didn't want to wrong her at all, but who would have thought that I would be out of my mind after drinking and cause this mess? It's really a headache.

As I was lost in thought, Lin Tao suddenly turned slightly to the side and leaned in to gently kiss me. Faced with her tender and proactive intimacy, I could no longer contain my emotions and immediately leaned down to return her kiss.

As we lingered, the lingering effects of the alcohol surged within me, and a growing heat rose within me. I couldn't resist wanting to take things further, but Lin Tao gently stopped me with her hand.

Her cheeks flushed, and she gently shook her head, whispering, "Don't do that, I'm still in a little pain."

That simple sentence instantly calmed the heat in my heart and made me calm down and clear-headed. I knew that this was her first time experiencing something like this, and she must be feeling unwell. I absolutely couldn't act rashly and make her feel even worse.

Seeing that I lay down obediently, Lin Tao gently wrapped her arms around me from behind, pressing her small face against my back and softly comforting me.

"Let it rest a bit longer, I'll feel better once I feel better."

Looking up at the ceiling, she recalled the scene she had witnessed at the hotel, a shy smile spreading across her face. She said softly, "Now I finally understand why that woman was in so much pain and kept refusing. So that's what happened. I was so confused back then and made a huge misunderstanding."

Having personally experienced these events, Lin Tao now fully understands what exactly happened back then.

As I listened to her rambling, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. She used to be so naive and innocent, but now, after experiencing all this, she's slowly come to understand matters of the heart between men and women.

The two held each other tightly, and drowsiness washed over them again. Before long, they fell into a deep sleep once more.

Around 7 p.m., Lin Tao woke up first, quietly looking at me sleeping soundly beside her, her heart filled with sweetness. The thought of marrying me at the end of the year filled her with anticipation, and she couldn't help but lean in slightly and gently kiss my lips.

This tender intimacy woke me up in no time. Feeling her deep affection, my heart fluttered, and I rolled over and pinned her down beneath me.
