The driver pretended not to see anything and raised the baffle in the car.
The documentary showed extraordinary scenery of African grassland, but Kevin Ye didn’t felt like
watching it. He preferred to enjoy the peaceful moment when staying with Venus Mu.
Warm but also a little thrilling.
But just this thrill made him addicted.
Holding her little warm hand, Kevin felt that he owned the whole world. If the road didn’t have an end,
he did wish the car could drive forever.
After almost an hour, Kevin found that her finger moved a little, and he knew that she was going to
wake up. So he let go of her hand, and put the earphones in his ears again. Now on the car TV, a
leopard was preying at night, and its eyes were glittering faint blue light.
Venus opened her eyes slowly and found that she was leaning on Kevin’s shoulder, and she
immediately woke up. Her first response was to touch her mouth and luckily she was not drooling.
But how could she lean on his shoulder? She remembered she was leaning on the window.
Venus rubbed her face and said awkwardly, “Well... How could I...”
Before she finished saying, Kevin got off his earphones calmly and said, “Your head kept hitting the
window. I’m afraid you might get hurt, so I make you lean on my shoulder.”
“Well, I’ve got it. Thanks anyway.” Venus said embarrassingly.
Kevin then put on his earphones again and said faintly, “Come on. You don’t need to be so polite.”
Venus smiled and she thought that the temperature in the car was a little high, so she opened the
window and let the cool wind in to wake her up.
When they were about to arrive at the countryside, large amounts of rice grew in the farmland, and one
or two buffaloes sometimes walked into their eyesight.
After they got into the countryside, the car kept driving for a while, and then stopped in front of a house
with black bricks and white wall.
Venus got off the car and looked at the house number, and then she said to Kevin, “That’s it. I’ll go and
ask.”
The door was black and made of wood, half closed, and there came voice inside the door.
Venus knocked on the door and shouted, “Is anyone here?”
Before long an old man walked outside and saw Venus and Kevin. He asked with puzzle, “Who are you
looking for?”
Venus said politely with smile, “Hello,sir. I’m looking for Doctor Hua to ask him for medical advice.”
“Oh...just come in then.” The old man was very kind, and he said as walking, “Hua, come outside.
Someone wants to see you.”
“Come on. I just have some days to rest, why there’s always people looking for me?” With loud voice
came out, an old man with great vigor walked outside. He frowned and looked unpleasant.”
”Sorry to disturb you, Doctor Hua.” Kevin took a bow with courtesy.
The old man became less furious after seeing that Kevin was so polite. He stared at them and asked,
“Who is the patient then?”
“It’s me.” Kevin said.
The old man glanced through him upside down and swung his sleeves, “Come in.”
……
Doctor Hua examined bones for Kevin. Then he frowned and kept silent for a long time.
Kevin was used to seeing this expression. He sighed in his heart but still smile faintly, “That’s fine. I
know that I won’t be cured.”
“Bullshit!” Doctor Hua shouted, with sharp light from his eyes, “Who told you that. They can’t cure you,
but I have a method.”
Kevin’s heart suddenly became tensed, and asked surprisingly, “Really? My hand could be cured?”
”Of course. But...” Doctor Hua raised his eyebrows and smiled with deep meaning, “You may have
some miseries.”
“That will be fine. I can bear all the miseries as long as you can cure my hand.” This was the secret
deeply buried in his heart, now he had a little hope, so he would do everything.”
Doctor Hua nodded and smiled a little cunningly, “Well, I’ll give you some basic treatments. Come with
me.”
Kevin followed the old man and entered the cabin with door curtains. Venus walked out of the main hall
and jumped happily in the courtyard.
Fantastic!
It was out of expectation that they could gain so much after visiting Doctor Hua.
At this moment, Venus’s phone rang, and it was Kerry.
“Are you there?” He asked directly.
“Yap, we’ve found Doctor Hua.” Venus’s voice was full of excitement. She said before Kerry asked,
“And Doctor Hua says that he could cure Kevin. Now Kevin is receiving treatment inside the room.”
“Really?” Kerry was also excited, “That’s great.”
Speaking then, Venus heard a faint voice in the other side of the phone, “Boss Ye, it’s time to walk in.
The leaders are all here.”
Kerry said “I’ll be there.” And then spoke to Venus, “Inform me instantly if anything happened to Kevin.
I’ll be there after finishing my work.”
“OK.”Venus agreed and then hanged up the phone.
Not after a while, Venus heard groan inside the house, and that was Kevin’s voice. Venus felt worried
about Kevin, maybe that was what Doctor Hua said “Have some miseries.”
Kevin always left gentle impression on her, and it seemed that nothing could block him. It must be so
miserable for him to groan.
With the continuous groan coming out, Venus clenched her hands tightly, and she became more
concerned.
Venus couldn’t bear that eventually. She ran outside the door and took deep breath beside the car.
The driver was smoking leaning on the car. He was a little astonished when she came outside, but he
didn’t say anything.
Time was flipping away. Venus sat on the stone bench at the door for a long time, and she finally heard
some one calling her name.
“Well, lady. Come here.”
Venus turned back and saw Doctor Hua was waving at her. She immediately stood
up and patted away the dirt on her butt and then ran forwards, “Doctor Hua, is there
anything that I can do?”
