My Dongguan Love Story

I looked at her rosy lips and swallowed hard. I said expectantly:

"Sister-in-law, where should I look for it?"

He wondered to himself, who was his sister-in-law talking about when she said she was looking for a woman? Could it be her?

My sister-in-law noticed that I was staring intently at her, so she gently punched me with her small hand and pouted, saying:

Why are you looking at me like that?

"Uh." I suddenly realized what was happening after my sister-in-law punched me twice, and I looked away from her somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing my embarrassed expression, my sister-in-law smiled and covered her mouth with her small, white hand, saying:

"Dazhuang, you're still just as easily teased as you were when you were a kid."

"Huh?" I was taken aback. "Then what did my sister-in-law mean by 'finding women'?"

"Your sister-in-law was just teasing you, and you actually took it seriously? Where am I supposed to find you a woman?"

Hearing my cousin's wife's words, I gave an awkward smile. Only then did I remember that my cousin's wife was charming and mischievous, and she used to like teasing me when we were still in the village.

We hadn't seen each other for three years, and the first thing he did when we met was teasing me.

At that moment, I realized that what she said about taking me to find women was definitely nonsense. She was just teasing me.

So I quickly composed myself and shook my head seriously:

"No, no. How could I take it seriously? I was just playing along because my sister-in-law was teasing me."

My cousin's wife, upon hearing my words, smiled and looked at my slightly flushed face, then changed her tune again:

"I'm not kidding you, it's true. I have a close friend who told me about you, and she's quite satisfied. If you don't want to find another woman, I'll just turn you down."

My sister-in-law's words stirred my heart again.

What am I doing in Dongguan? I said I came here to make money, but isn't my real purpose to get married?

It would be even better if I could find a wife first and then make money.

Besides, my sister-in-law is so beautiful, her best friend must be pretty too. Thinking of this, I looked at her anxiously.

"I think you mustn't refuse her, sister-in-law."

Seeing my eager look, my cousin-in-law chuckled and covered her mouth:

"Really?"

"I really want to." I nodded earnestly.

"Ha ha."

My sister-in-law covered her mouth and laughed, laughing so hard she bent over. It took her a while to calm down.

At first, I didn't understand what she meant, but after seeing her reaction, I realized after a while. It turns out my sister-in-law was teasing me again. Was she making fun of me?

Does that best friend still count? She's not lying to me, is she?

Thinking of this, I looked at her with concern:

"Sister-in-law, is that best friend of yours real?"

"Guess?" My sister-in-law smiled and glanced at me. "Dazhuang, it's been years, and you're still as honest and simple as ever."

After my cousin-in-law finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back, turned around, took two steps forward, and waved at me when she saw me still standing there in a daze.

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

"Okay, sister-in-law, where are we going?" I quickly picked up my luggage and walked towards her.

"Where to?" My cousin-in-law turned her head and smiled at me, her eyes darting around. "I'm taking you to find a woman."

After saying that, she turned and walked ahead, and I quickly followed beside her. I was both doubtful and expectant about her promise to take me to find a woman.

My doubt stemmed from her playful personality, while my anticipation arose from the expression on her face during her last sentence—it seemed genuine, almost real. Or rather, I desperately hoped it was true.

Ugh, what is it? This is driving me crazy.

Since I don't know if it's true or not, I decided to keep quiet and just follow my sister-in-law for now.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the roadside, where a large number of motorcycles were parked.

The nearest motorcycle taxi driver waved to us:

"Handsome guy/beautiful girl, wanna take a ride?"

"Sit down. How much does it cost to go to Shenghe?" his cousin-in-law asked him.

"Twenty, beautiful girl."

"So much?" I was secretly surprised. Twenty yuan per trip, and if you make a dozen or so trips a day, wouldn't you earn two or three hundred yuan? It seems that motorcycle taxis are quite profitable.

My cousin's wife frowned when she heard what she said:

"Are you trying to rip me off? Five dollars, take it or leave it."

The taxi driver smiled and said that five dollars wouldn't get you that far, but when he saw his cousin-in-law turn to leave, he quickly waved to her: "Come on, come on, I'm giving you a ride at a loss, get in the car."

I listened to them negotiating the price and was astonished. Twenty yuan down to five yuan? That's outrageous!

"Dazhuang, please have a seat."

When my cousin-in-law called me, I immediately sat down.

After I sat down, she got on the bus and sat behind me.

As soon as she sat down, a delicate fragrance wafted to my nose.

"Master, let's go."

After her sister-in-law was seated, she spoke to the driver.

"Okay, hold on tight."

The driver started riding his bike forward. I was sitting quite close to him, and our bodies brushed against each other from time to time. A smell of sweat wafted towards me.

My cousin's wife was sitting a little distance away from me, so there was no physical contact. But just as we turned the corner, the motorcycle taxi driver braked suddenly, and the inertia caused us all to lurch forward.

I was pressed against the motorcycle taxi driver, and my cousin's wife was sitting very close to me, bumping into me every now and then.

This was the first time I had ever been so close to a woman. Every pore on my body opened up in shock, and my blood started to boil.

My sister-in-law felt I was about to be touched, so she quickly moved back.

At this moment, the motorcycle taxi driver cursed at the car in front of him:

"Damn it, can't you even drive?"

After finishing his rant, he turned the car to the left, crossed the road, and continued driving forward.

A moment later, there was another sudden stop, and my sister-in-law suddenly pressed down on me again. I even felt two circles of pressure on my back.

Seeing my stiff and nervous expression, my sister-in-law smiled. Then I felt a strand of hair fall on my shoulder. I turned my head in confusion and our eyes met.

He was so close, he almost kissed her lips.

Seeing my nervous expression, my sister-in-law grinned and said:

"Dazhuang, what's the big deal? Why are you sitting like you're being punished, not moving at all?"

"Uh, no, no."

I shook my head shyly.

Brothers who have never been in contact with women should know that the first time you get close to a woman, you're bound to be very shy.

Seeing me stammering, my sister-in-law laughed, covered her face and mouth, and pulled her head back.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her leave. I was really afraid of embarrassing myself in front of her.

Not long after, I felt a small hand pat my leg.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, I saw her head lean over to my side again, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she looked at me. Her breath, warm and fragrant, gently wafted towards me.

From this distance, I only need to lean forward slightly to kiss her rosy lips.

But I'm an old virgin, how could I possibly have that ability?

The more she acted like that, the more embarrassed I became. The more embarrassed I became, the more she teased me.

It made my heart race.

Seeing her smile grow even brighter, I suddenly felt a pang of resentment.

What's going on? Isn't it always men who bully women? How come I'm the one being bullied by a woman?

It feels like I'm the one being taken advantage of?

My face flushed red, and my eyes darted around. No, I can't let myself get away with this; I have to get the better deal.

But how can we get the better deal?

I was actually a little hesitant to peek over my shoulder and kiss my sister-in-law.

Although she has severed ties with her cousin and has no familial relationship with me, legally speaking, we are both eligible to marry.

But after all, we had spent so many years together, and I considered her my sister-in-law in my heart, so I was still very resistant to being intimate with her.

But being teased like this is too embarrassing; I have to get back at him.

What should we do?

Got it!

As I looked at my cousin's sister-in-law's smiling eyes, I suddenly slid backward.

Suddenly, a feeling of pressure came from my back, soft and sticky.

"you!"

My cousin's wife was so startled that she quickly backed away to avoid my sudden attack.

"hey-hey."

Seeing her humiliated, I smiled smugly.

After my antics, my cousin-in-law didn't dare tease me anymore. After all, she was just playful, not promiscuous. She wouldn't let herself get hurt for no reason.

After entering the urban village, we made several turns and finally arrived at the apartment building rented by my sister-in-law.

I got off the motorcycle and glanced at the building in front of me. It was a five-story residential building. The iron gate at the entrance was rusty and peeling.

"Let's go."

My cousin's wife opened the door and turned to call me in.

Following my cousin-in-law into the building, I saw that the stairwell was full of clutter, so I carefully went around to the stairs and followed my cousin-in-law up.

After reaching the third floor, my cousin's wife opened the door.

This is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. The rooms are simply decorated, and the furniture is old. The living room only has three stools and a table. However, the environment is relatively clean, and there is no trash on the floor.

I glanced at the doors to both rooms, then found a chair and sat down:

"Sister-in-law, do you share an apartment with others?"

I was thinking that it might be inconvenient if my sister-in-law shared an apartment with someone else. Maybe we should find a hotel for now.

"Yes, my best friend."

As my cousin-in-law spoke, she raised an eyebrow at me, her eyes giving me a somewhat ambiguous look.

Her appearance startled me.

Could it be true that my sister-in-law was telling me earlier that she would take me to find a woman, to find her best friend?

I swallowed hard, and asked uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, was what you said at the train station true?"

"Of course, would my sister-in-law lie to you?"

My cousin's wife sat down next to me with a smile, turned her head towards me, and whispered:

"My best friend is quite pretty, but she just broke up with her boyfriend a few days ago and is heartbroken right now. If you take advantage of her vulnerability, you can definitely win her over."

"Huh? Will this work?"

I was taken aback by her words. It wasn't that I minded that she had had boyfriends before; it was mainly that I had never been in a relationship and didn't know how to pursue girls.

Besides, she just broke up with her boyfriend, and she might still be thinking about him.

Seeing my confusion, and knowing I didn't know how to pursue women, my sister-in-law rolled her eyes, leaned towards me, and whispered:

"I told my best friend about you. She really likes your type, tall and strong. She was heartbroken last night and drank all night. She's passed out in her room right now. Go over there and sleep with her. Once it's too late, she'll be yours when she wakes up."

Sister-in-law, what kind of indecent words are those?

Should I just go in and take care of the person?

If I had that kind of guts, why didn't I take advantage of you when you were teasing me like that?

I looked up at the half-open door and shook my head vigorously:

"No, I can't."

I really can't do this.

My cousin's wife saw me shake my head and patted my shoulder:

A man should never say he can't do it.

"People are driven to extremes by circumstances. If you go in now, you'll not only benefit, but you'll also get a wife for free."

"I wasn't forced into it, I had a C-section." I quickly shook my head.

"What C-section? What are you talking about? I'm saying people are forced into certain situations."

My cousin's wife was speechless for a moment after hearing what I said, but then she suddenly realized what I meant and glared at me:

"When did you start making dirty jokes?"

"Hurry up, the door's still open, go quickly. I know Tang Yan's personality, she definitely won't hold it against you when she wakes up."

After speaking, my sister-in-law walked towards the slightly ajar door and quietly opened it a crack. Inside, there was a long-haired woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed, covered by a blanket, her fair and delicate shoulders exposed.
