I am assuming that you and your girlfriend have had sexual intercourse, or at the very least have touched the penis with her genitals. It is not very likely, if you have both never been with anyone that they could be anything serious. I do suggest that you get them checked out by a doctor if they don’t go away in a few weeks. And I would wear a latex or polyurethane condom when you are with your girlfriend just in case there is something contagious in those bumps.
I am guessing that the bumps may be an allergic reaction to something in your clothes or bedding. It is not uncommon for skin to develop bumps when it is exposed to something that it is not accustomed to. Sometimes the detergents that are used to wash underwear and clothes can cause a rash or small red bumps. Since they don’t itch or hurt, they could just be a reaction to something you have touched. Since they appeared after you came back from China, there may have been something you came in contact with there.
The only way to know for sure though, is to see a doctor and get checked out. It is possible that the bumps will go away on their own unless you are still exposed to the irritant. When cleaning, be sure to use just water in case there is something in the soap that is irritating you.
