“Kerry. You are a big boss. It only costs a hundred per night for a room. And you think it’s a waste of
money?”
“Sure. I worked very hard to make the money, and I don’t want to waste a penny of it.” Kerry said flatly.
Venus shot him a sideways glance. She shrugged her shoulders and said: “Fine. I will get another room
if you really like this one.”
Kerry smiled slyly when he saw Venus walking outside.
Venus went to the front desk and wanted to book another room. But the owner said smilingly: “I’m
sorry. We are out of rooms.”
Venus widened her eyes and pointed at all the empty rooms around her and said: “Hey, they are all
empty!”
“I’m sorry. But Mr Ye just bought all the rooms.”
Venus couldn’t believe her ears.
“What a jerk! Didn’t he say he doesn’t want to waste a penny of his money?” She thought.
She went back to the room angrily, and saw Kerry was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed in
front of his chest. He looked so proud of himself.
Venus gave him a hostile glare. She then took her stuff and went back to her first room. Since it was
unavoidable to live together with him, why wouldn’t she pick a room that has a better view. When she
was at that room, she could at least see the lotus flowers from the window.
Kerry smiled and packed his stuff as well, and followed her back to the room.
For the following days, Kerry would take Kevin to see the doctor in the morning, and deal with his
business on a laptop in the afternoon. And when he went to sleep, he would sleep on one side of the
bed, and Venus on the other.
One night when Kerry was seized by sexual desire, he rolled himself on top of Venus, and when he
was about to make love to her, Venus smiled coldly and said: “I’m having my period.”
Kerry froze. Veins bulged on his forehead. Desire filled his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I just remembered.”
Kerry looked at her face. She looked so pleased. She obviously did it on purpose.
Kerry managed to bring his desires under control, which was obviously not easy. He bite on her chest
hard, and went for a cold shower.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon the floor. Everything looked sliver in the brilliant
moonlight.
She felt lucky to have this period, because it could stop Kerry from touching her. The only problem was
that the pain was unbearable.
Kerry walked out of his shower and held her in his arms.
“Don’t move.” Kerry said to her. He then put his hand on her belly. The warmth on his hand gradually
eased her pain, and she felt so comfortable.
......
Kevin could finally feel his hand after a few day’s treatment, which was a nightmare to him. He couldn’t
move the hand, but when his hand touches the water, he could tell whether it was hot or cold.
He was so surprised by this change.
“Doctor Hua is so amazing. It’s only a short period of time!” Venus jumped up and down in happiness.
Kevin’s gaze followed her. He said gently: “I’m forever in your debt. My hand would never be cured
without your help.”
Venus waved her hand. “You also helped me many times. Besides, I didn’t do anything. It is you who
took all the pain.”
Out of the corner of his eye, Kevin saw Kerry was walking towards them. He then moved his position
slightly to block Venus’s view, to prevent her from seeing Kerry, and said to Venus: “Doctor Han isn’t
here. Can you help me to warm my shoulder with a hot towel?”
Venus had nothing to do at that moment. She said: “Sure. Just wait a minute.”
Kevin could no longer wait. He was in love with Venus. When he saw Kerry and Venus being together,
he felt his heart was pierced. And at night, he felt his heart was dripping blood. The pain was too great
to bear. But he knew he couldn’t tell Venus his feelings directly, because Venus only took him as her
friend. He would scare her away.
That was why, he decided to start from Kerry.
“Big brother. I’m sorry. But I have to get Venus.”
He only wore a vest under his shirt. And when Venus came back with a hot towel, he exposed his
muscular shoulder, and all the scars on his shoulder were also exposed, both new ones and old ones.
Venus had never seen these scars before. She was slightly shocked and she asked: “Are these scars
from the treatment?”
Kevin nodded and said yes.
“They look painful.” Venus placed the hot towel on his shoulder gently. “Is it hot?”
“The temperature is just perfect.” Kevin said.
Kevin could see that Kerry was looking at them in a shadow a few meters away. Venus had her back
towards him so she didn’t notice him at all.
“Tell me if the towel is cold. I’ll get a new one.” Venus was very caring.
She only took Kevin as a good friend of hers, and she never thought about her relationship with Kerry
in that way. But that was not how Kerry thought about them.
Kevin glanced at Kerry, and asked Venus on purpose: “Venus, what happened between you and my big
brother? You don’t seem to be happy.”
“Have I ever been happy when I am with him?” Venus sighed. “Forget about it. I don’t want to talk about
him. When will Doctor Hua leave?”
“Tomorrow.”
Venus touched the towel and found it was still hot. “So soon? Have Doctor Han learned his skills? Like
acupuncture, cupping, and other things like that?”
“I think he has.” Kevin was not sure. But Doctor Han was indeed learning from Doctor Hua earnestly.
Kerry walked out of the shadow. His face has set into grim lines.
