My Dongguan Love Story

I was riding my bike, just wanting to get away as quickly as possible. This was the outskirts of the city, and there weren't many cars on the road, but several vehicles were following me closely. No matter which direction I turned, they kept chasing me and wouldn't shake me off. I immediately sensed something was wrong. I instinctively looked back and was instantly shocked.

A bread truck was hurtling straight toward me, less than a meter away, about to crash into me. I frantically twisted the accelerator, and the truck lurched forward, narrowly avoiding a collision.

If I had been just a few seconds slower, I would definitely have been hit squarely.

Looking in the rearview mirror, I saw several vans still relentlessly following me, and I was now completely certain that I was being watched. I wasn't afraid at all if it were a one-on-one confrontation, but Xiao Li was on the back of the motorcycle, and it would be difficult to deal with them with her on board.

If you stop the car, they will likely hit you hard, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In this situation, fighting them head-on would be too disadvantageous. My mind raced, and I immediately turned the car around and sped off along a mountain path. This road led straight up the mountain, and there were several farmhouses and guesthouses at the foot of the mountain.

The narrow, winding road is perfect for restricting the passage of bread trucks, and if all else fails, I can ride my bike deep into the mountains. Although I can't travel fast in the mountains, those big trucks definitely can't keep up.

As I was riding my bike forward, a loud bang suddenly exploded.

boom!

A gunshot rang out suddenly, and my left-side rearview mirror was shattered by the bullet. Fragments flew everywhere and cut my arm.

I was startled and dared not hesitate for a moment. I immediately drove off the main road and plunged into the depths of the mountains and forests.

The mountain roads were full of potholes and covered with grass and branches, making the motorcycle bump and jolt along. The whole ride was a constant up-and-down motion, and the rider was constantly swaying with the motorcycle.

Xiao Li in the back seat was already so scared that she clung to me tightly. As the car bumped and jolted along the way, she was afraid of falling off, so she held on even tighter.

"Dazhuang, are we going to get into trouble...?" Xiaoli's voice trembled, completely terrified. Whether it was the near-miss with the bread truck or the sudden gunshot, these were scenes she had never experienced before, and she was already scared out of her wits.

In addition, riding through rugged mountain forests, with the constant risk of falling, made her even more fearful and uneasy.

Her soft body pressed tightly against my back, and warmth washed over me, but I had no time to care about that at the moment, as all my attention was focused on controlling the car.

The mountain road was bumpy and difficult to travel, and the vehicle swayed violently. If you were distracted for even a moment, it would easily overturn. You could not be careless at all.

When the group of people on the highway saw me riding my bike into the mountains and the van couldn't get in, they got really angry. They all got off their bikes and chased after me, cursing and shooting at us as they ran.

Several gunshots rang out in succession, one of the bullets shattering the motorcycle's taillight. Fortunately, it didn't hit the tire, so the rider narrowly escaped death.

I pedaled my bike as fast as I could up the mountain, not daring to look back. After a while, the gunfire behind me gradually subsided. I knew in my heart that I had finally shaken them off for the time being, and that the group was probably still struggling to catch up on foot.

Before I could even catch my breath, a torrential downpour began, with large raindrops pelting the two of us.

Before long, our clothes were soaked through and clung to our bodies. Rain blurred our vision, making it difficult to open our eyes, and the mountain path was muddy and slippery. We dared not stop for even a moment, fearing that those people would catch up again soon, so we could only grit our teeth and continue on our way.

We rode up the mountain in the pouring rain. The mountain road was muddy and slippery, and the bike suddenly skidded, causing us to fall heavily to the ground, forcing us to stop.

The moment the car tipped over, I reacted extremely quickly and jumped away immediately. However, Xiao Li in the back seat did not have time to dodge and fell down with the car. Her entire leg was pinned down by the heavy car body.

"ah--"

Xiao Li cried out in pain. The series of falls, plus the car running over her leg, made her brows furrow and cold sweat instantly appear on her forehead.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly stepped forward and forcefully moved the motorcycle away.

As the pressure subsided, the pain in her legs lessened slightly. Looking at me with a pained and aggrieved expression, she said, "Dazhuang, my legs hurt so much."

I crouched down to examine the injury closely. Fortunately, it wasn't too serious. I then asked softly, "Can you still walk on your own?"

She gently shook her head, her voice trembling with tears, "I can't walk, my legs hurt too much, please help me."

I nodded in response and reached out to carefully help her to her feet.

I couldn't worry about whether the motorcycle was damaged or not right now. The rain was so heavy, and the mountain road was muddy and slippery. I had already fallen once, and I really didn't dare to ride forward again. Besides, this road was difficult to travel, and the people chasing behind me would definitely not be able to keep up either. There was a wooden house ahead, which would be a good place to take shelter from the rain and rest for a while.

I helped Xiaoli walk slowly over, and then I saw that the house was very simple, looking similar to a simple pavilion, except that it had a wall and a door.

But at times like this, there's no time to be picky; having a place to shelter from the wind and rain is already a blessing.

I helped Xiaoli into the house. The room wasn't large, only about three or four meters square. I helped her sit down slowly, and only then did I notice that her clothes were soaked through by the rain, clinging tightly to her body, revealing her graceful figure, which was particularly eye-catching.

Xiao Li noticed my gaze, her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she hesitated before whispering, "Da Zhuang, I'm soaked through, it's so cold."

Seeing this, I sighed helplessly: "For now, we can only bear with it and think of a solution when the rain stops. The rain outside is just too heavy."

Xiao Li sighed helplessly. Before long, the chill grew stronger and stronger, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Dazhuang, I can't stand it anymore, it's too cold."

Seeing this, I frowned and said, "Your clothes are all soaked and sticking to your body. If you keep wearing them, you'll only get colder. Why don't you take off your wet clothes and warm up a bit?"

After saying that, I immediately turned my back to her and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't peek."

Xiaoli watched my retreating figure, her cheeks burning, feeling both shy and embarrassed. Although she had long harbored feelings for me, being alone with me in this desolate place made her feel awkward, and she hesitated to take off her clothes.

She persevered for a while, but the cold became unbearable. The wet clothes were cold and uncomfortable against her skin, so she had to take off her outer pants first, and then her soaked top, leaving her only in her underwear. Although her bra was also soaked, she was too embarrassed to take it all off.

Even so, it was much better than before; her body wasn't shivering as much from the cold. Plus, she was a little tipsy from the alcohol she'd been drinking, so her head was spinning and her consciousness was somewhat hazy.

She watched my retreating figure and said softly, "Dazhuang, if you're cold too, take off your wet clothes. I won't turn around to look at you."

My wet clothes were sticking to my skin, making me feel stuffy and cold, which was really uncomfortable. I was afraid of catching a cold and getting a fever here, which would be a real problem. This was a desolate place, with no village or shop in sight, and my cell phone had almost no signal, so I had nowhere to ask for help.

Then I thought to myself, I'm a grown man, so I didn't have to worry about anything. I simply took off all my wet clothes, inside and out. Although I felt a little cold right after taking them off, I immediately felt much more refreshed and comfortable.

Just then, Xiaoli suddenly screamed in fright, "Ah! There's a mouse!"

Upon hearing the shout, I instinctively turned my head sharply, and before I knew it, my gaze met her graceful figure.
