“Did she go back home? No way. Her phone is still here.” Kerry thought.
After looking for her for a long time, Kerry felt thirty and exhausted. He drooped his head and dragged
his body back to the hotel.
The owner of the hotel was still watching TV. He saw Kerry coming back and he asked curiously: “You
have been running back and forth for many times. What are you doing?”
Kerry collapsed on a sofa at the door and said sulkily: “Looking for a person.”
The owner remembered a girl took a key from him an hour ago. He didn’t have many guests at that
time, so he thought Kerry was must looking for that girl.
He rested his elbows on the counter and said smilingly: “Did you quarrel with your girlfriend?”
Kerry shot him a glance and said: “She is my wife.”
The owner was surprised to hear that. Then why are there three of them? Who is that handsome young
man together with them? He thought to himself.
“Is your wife a tall, beautiful woman? who has delicate skin and who is wearing a ponytail?” He asked.
Kerry said coldly. “Yeah. That’s her.”
The owner said: “You know, I never have the guts to quarrel with my wife.” Then he said in a lecturing
manner: “When a woman is angry, all you need to do is to say something nice to comfort her. What did
you do to make her refuse to live together with you?”
Kerry was confused. Did she find herself another room?
“I know I was wrong. Which is her room?”
The owner smiled and shook his head. “That is my guest’s privacy. I can’t tell.”
Kerry was speechless. He took some money out of his pocket and placed it on the table. “Here is the
rent. Which is her room?”
The owner smiled slyly and put the money away. He pointed upwards and said: “It’s the room at the
end of the hall on second floor. She specially picked a room that is the farthest to yours.”
Kerry rushed to that room without saying another word.
When he was at the door, he stopped, because he didn’t know what to say. He had always been so
proud in front of her, and he found it very difficult to make an apology to her. But he knew it was
necessary to apologize, or he would never ease his mind.
Kerry froze for a few seconds, and then he finally knocked the door. But there was no response.
What happened? He thought.
He pushed the door and found the door was not locked at all. He got in easily, and found the woman he
had been looking for for two hours was sleeping tightly on bed.
Kerry’ s anger flared up. He couldn’t understand why would she go to sleep without even locking the
door? What if some bad people got in? Does she have any concern for safety?
Kerry shut the door and walked towards her. The moment his eyes fell on her face, his anger subsided.
Venus was sleeping on her back. Her brow furrowed. She got very dark shadows under her eyes.
Obviously she didn’t get enough sleep these days.
Kerry sat beside her, and stroked her face gently.
“Why you look so sad? What are you dreaming? Are you dreaming about me?” Kerry thought to
himself.
It was noon. Venus was in light sleep. So she woke up when she felt a hand on her face.
She opened her sleepy eyes, and saw Kerry in front of her.
She was completely awake now. She sat up and looked at him coldly. “What are you doing here?”
Kerry opened his mouth, but he still couldn’t say sorry to her. He only said: “Here is your phone.”
Venus took her phone and looked aside. “Now you should leave.”
Kerry walked towards the door. He suddenly stopped and turned back. “Are you going to live here?”
“Yes.”
Kerry looked at her face, which was devoid of emotions. He finally plucked up the courage and said: “I
was wrong about this. I shouldn’t have said that to you. I’ m sorry.”
Venus’s face didn’t change at all, but she was indeed shocked. She couldn’t believe her ears. Did he
just make an apology? She thought.
Kerry felt much relieved after saying sorry. He continued: “I treated you unfairly. I said so many nasty
things. It’s all my bad.”
Venus smiled coldly. “It’s okay. This is not the first time, and I am getting used to your unfair treatment.
“Venus......” Kerry felt very sorry. He remembered he used to trust whatever Xinyou told him, and if
Venus tried to defend herself, he would use violence to make her keep quiet.
Venus interrupted: “Just stop talking. You don’t need to apologize for what you did. They are all in the
past. Just like you said, I am only a toy to you. You can do whatever you feel like doing to me.” Venus
then opened the door, and asked him to leave.
Venus’s words hurt Kerry’ s feelings deeply. He shook his head and walked out helplessly.
But a few minutes later, he came back, with two bags, one of which was Venus’s, and the other one
was his, in which he put all his clothes.
“What are you doing?” Venus felt annoyed when she saw Kerry hanging his clothes in the wardrobe.
Kerry said flatly: “Didn’t you say you want to live in this room?”
“Yeah! But I didn’t say I want you to be here!” Venus said.
Kerry glanced at her and said: “Don’t you think it’s a waste of money to have two rooms?”
What? A waste of money? What a lame excuse! Venus thought.
