My Dongguan Love Story

I looked at the woman in front of me and felt that she looked strangely familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

Her gaze happened to meet mine, and she paused slightly, then quietly moved her body to the side.

"What are you standing there for? Get in now!" Coach Wu urged me, and I snapped out of my daze and quickly bent down to get into the car.

The training car wasn't very spacious to begin with, and there were already two people sitting in the back seat. Plus, I'm rather muscular, so as soon as I sat down, my leg accidentally touched hers. A soft touch made me feel uneasy, and I quickly moved my body towards the car door to avoid it.

I glanced at her discreetly and realized she was looking at me too. I racked my brain and suddenly remembered that she was the woman who had been intimately embracing Lin Ping in the Donghu Garden residential area.

I was taking a walk downstairs with Lin Huimin when I happened to witness this scene and even glanced at it a couple more times. When she noticed us, she hurriedly turned and ran away. I thought it would be difficult to see her again, but I never expected to run into her again at the driving practice area.

The long-haired girl sitting next to her asked softly, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"

Now I know her name.

Before long, Sister Li spoke, feigning calmness: "It's nothing, Cailing, it's just too hot."

Judging from her slightly flustered tone, I knew she had recognized me long ago. I didn't care at all; I didn't take it to heart.

After they all finished their rounds, it was finally my turn.

The driver's seat in the training vehicle was a bit cramped, and with my long legs, I couldn't stretch them out properly.

Master Wu glanced at me and asked, "Is this your first time handling a car today?"

I nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Okay, depress the clutch, shift into gear, and start driving slowly."

I followed the instructor's instructions and steadily started the car. It was my first time driving, so it wasn't too difficult, and the ride went fairly smoothly, except that the wheels would occasionally touch the edge line. When it came time to practice reversing into a parking space, although I could successfully reverse into the space, I still kept touching the line.

"Alright, let's change players."

As soon as Coach Wu finished speaking, the others took turns getting into the car and practicing for another round.

The weather was scorching hot that day, and there was no air conditioning in the car. After the second lap, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and got out of the car to cool off and wait.

I sat down to the side, smoking and resting. After a while, Sister Li walked over to me hesitantly, and after a moment of silence, she said softly, "Thank you for that night."

Completely confused, I turned to her in bewilderment: "Thank me for what?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "That day, I was pulled over by Lin Ping without really understanding what was going on, and he almost took advantage of me. Luckily, you suddenly appeared, and I managed to escape. Otherwise, something really bad would have happened that night."

I was stunned when I heard this. It turned out that she and Lin Ping hadn't even started dating yet. She had just met him and he had lured her to a secluded place. She was just too naive.

She glanced at me shyly, then thanked me sincerely again: "Anyway, thank you so much."

I smiled faintly: "It's nothing, just a small favor. My name is Dazhuang, you can just call me Dazhuang. It's fate that we're learning to drive together. I see you're learning to drive pretty fast, so you'll have to teach me more when you have time."

After I finished speaking, I immediately extended my hand.

Liu Xiaoli paused for a moment before gently shaking my hand and saying softly, "My name is Liu Xiaoli, you can just call me Xiaoli."

I nodded and subconsciously looked her over. She looked to be in her early twenties and dressed simply and plainly.

Even dressed so plainly, it couldn't hide her delicate and pretty face, or the two large breasts on her chest.

We chatted for a short while before it was her turn to practice driving. She waved to me and got into the car.

After practicing for several rounds, it was almost 6 p.m. when Master Wu told us that if we wanted to continue practicing, we could take turns practicing, and if we didn't want to practice, we could leave first.

Without an instructor by my side, I have no problem driving on the road, but I always cross the line when reversing into a parking space, and I can't seem to get the hang of it no matter how much I practice.

Xiao Li, who was standing nearby, kindly came over and taught me the trick. I practiced according to her method for a while, and finally I was able to back the car into the parking space steadily without crossing the line anymore.

I couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Li, your driving skills are so good, why aren't you taking the test yet? Why are you practicing with us?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, "Don't even mention it. I usually have a good feel for driving when I practice, but I get nervous during the actual test and I always fail."

After the driving lesson, I thanked her for her helpful guidance and specially bought two bottles of water to hand over: "Thank you so much for your help today."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing, just a small favor." Then she added, "Cailing and I are about to take a taxi home."

I nodded, smoking a cigarette as I waited with the two of them by the roadside, planning to leave after they got into the car.

After waiting for a long time, I neither saw any motorcycle taxis nor could I hail a regular taxi, and the sky gradually darkened.

Looking at the darkening sky, I considered my options for a moment before asking, "Where are you planning to go?"

He secretly considered that if it was on his way, he might as well give them a ride. It was really not safe for two girls to be out at night.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xiaoli said, "Let's go back to the Polytechnic University."

I was taken aback when I heard that; I hadn't expected them to still be students. Although it was only a junior college, it was still quite good by today's standards, and the diplomas carried considerable weight.

As it got darker, I was worried about the two girls' safety on the road, so I offered, "My motorcycle is parked right next to me. I'll give you a ride home."

Liu Xiaoli immediately felt embarrassed and quickly declined, saying, "I'm so sorry, I've taken up too much of your time."

"It's alright, please wait a moment."

After saying that, I quickly walked to the bike shed, rode my motorcycle over, and parked it in front of the two of them. Looking at the not-so-spacious back seat, the two hesitated for a moment. First, Liu Xiaoli sat down, and then Cailing followed suit.

The car itself wasn't big, and it felt especially cramped with the three of us squeezed together. Liu Xiaoli tried her best to avoid me, but the bumpy ride meant her thighs would still brush against me from time to time. During emergency braking, she couldn't control herself and would lean against me gently. By the end of the journey, her whole face was flushed with embarrassment.

We soon arrived at the entrance of the university. She quickly got out of the car and thanked me repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much today, Dazhuang. I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day."

I smiled and nodded in agreement, watched them walk into the school gate, then twisted the throttle and rode away.

The two walked side by side along the campus path, and Cailing couldn't help but tease, "Xiaoli, are you falling for Dazhuang?"

Liu Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned her head to retort, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Still being stubborn, your face was all red the whole way, who couldn't tell?" Cai Ling teased with a smile.

The two returned to their dormitory amidst laughter and chatter. Lin Huiqing, who was reading in her room, heard the noise and looked up curiously, asking, "What were you talking about the way here? I could hear you from far away."

Cailing immediately laughed and joked, "What else can we talk about? Our Xiaoli has fallen for someone."
