Venus touched her face, "I don't want to meet them with this face. I'm afraid they won't recognize me."
"I'll go with you tomorrow. Just use your face, and no one will find out." He had never been to see
Venus’s parents since he married her. At first he didn't care about it, but then he didn't get the chance.
Now it was time to see them.
"Well."
In the next day, the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that it might rain at any moment. Venus woke up
very early and wore a very plain dress and a pair of white flat shoes.
Looking at the uncovered face in the mirror, Venus was actually a little afraid. After wearing the mask
for a long time, it seemed that she could hide all the emotions behind the mask.
Kerry knocked on the door, "Let's go."
Venus put on her sunglasses and a big hat, hiding her whole face in the shadows. That made her feel
at ease and then she went downstairs.
Henry was driving them to the cemetery.
"We will go to the flower shop first to get the flowers. Everything else has been prepared in the boot of
the car." Kerry said.
"Hmm." Venus replied quietly, and then turned to look out the window in a very low mood.
Kerry didn't know what to say and tried to hold her hand, but Venus silently dodged.
In such a day, she might remind of Mr Mu. Kerry decided not to make her angry yet.
The car parked in front of the flower shop and Kerry went out of the car to pick up the flowers. When he
came back, he was holding a large bouquet of carnations and a large bouquet of daisies.
He put the flowers on the passenger seat, and then Henry continued to drive towards the cemetery.
More than an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
When Kerry took a wooden box from the boot, Henry was going to reach for it, but Kerry rejected, "You
just wait here."
Venus walked forward step by step with carnations in her arms. The summer breeze was blowing her
long hair, which was a poignant and sad scene.
When Venus arrived at her parents' tombstone, she kneeled down and placed the carnations on her
father's stone, saying quietly, "Dad, I'm here to see you."
Kerry knelt beside her and took the incense burner, incenses, white wax, and a small bottle of wine out
of the wooden box.
He seriously lit the white wax, and then lit and inserted three incenses into the incense burner. And
finally he twisted the lid and poured some wine on the ground, saying calmly, "I don't know if you will
recognize me as your son-in-law, but I want to say today, Dad, in the days to come, I will take good
care of Venus. She will be protected from the pain of calamity and disease, please rest assured." After
saying that, he kowtowed.
Venus quietly watched this, feeling touched and also sad.
In fact, Kerry had no idea that one day he would do this. He was so aggrogant before but now so
humble, in order to get Venus’s love.
After kowtowing, Kerry came back to Venus's mother's grave, and put down a bunch of daisies. He lit
incenses, and took out several kinds of exquisite snacks from the wooden box.
"Mom, please allow me to call you like that. I don't know what you like to eat, but Venus likes sweets,
so I think you like that as well. I am sorry for all the wrong things I have done before, but from now on I
will love Venus as much as you do and never let her suffer the slightest bit of grievance. I hope you
could bless her safe and smooth in heaven." After saying that, he also kowtowed. And Venus, who was
in a heavy mood, actually felt much better at this time.
Kerry turned to look at Venus for a moment, got up and said to her, "You must have a lot of whispered
words with your parents. I won't bother you. I'll wait for you on the side of the road."
Venus nodded.
The wind grew stronger, rolling clouds in from the east. Kerry stood on the side of the road and lit a
cigarette, looking at the thin figure kneeling in the distance.
He couldn't hear what she was saying, but he saw her shoulders begin to shake violently, and her tears
hit the ground ......
Taking a puff of smoke, his heart began to tighten.
If he knew that one day he would love this woman so much, he must have been good to her before.
Unfortunately, it is no use crying over spilt milk. He had to bear all the consequences himself of what he
had done. So no matter how badly Venus treated him now, he would all accept without any complaint.
The sound of wind with the woman's cry reached his ears, and Kerry felt his heart was about to break.
Dark clouds filled the sky in an instant, and the dust on the ground was swirled by the wind and was
dancing in the air. In the next second, large drops of rain fell. Kerry saw Venus still kneeling and crying.
When he was about to walk over, he heard Henry running over with an umbrella in his hand, "Master".
Kerry took the umbrella and ran towards Venus. Only half a minute, it was pouring .
Venus was sobbing in her own world, seemingly not feeling the rain.
Kerry did not disturb her, but held the umbrella over her head, while half of his body was drenched in
the rain.
The rain quickly doused the white wax, and Venus finally regained her consciousness from the grief.
"Mom, I'll bring the baby to see you and dad next time. You'll love him." Venus said in a completely
mute voice, "Bye, mommy."
When she wiped the tears and tried to get up, she lost her consciousness of legs, because she had
been kneeling for too long. But fortunately Kerry quickly came to pull her, or she would have fallen to
the ground.
"Take the umbrella. I'll carry you out." Kerry said quietly.
But Venus refused, "No, you just hold me."
She didn't want her parents to feel that she had forgiven this man.
Kerry felt her stubborn, so he just circled her body into his arms and clasped one hand around her
waist, "Walk slowly. If it's hard, just say it."
Venus’s legs were like over-electrified, numb and sore. She had stamped hard on the ground before
she regained a little bit consciousness and then she slowly walked out with the support of Kerry.
They walked very slowly. The heavy rain with the wind continued striking Kerry, but he even moved the
umbrella a few more to Venus.
He had just promised that he would prevent her from the disease, so he couldn't break his promise.
Henry was sitting in the car and watching the direction of the road anxiously. A while later, he saw two
shadows appeared in the rain. It seemed they were even tinged with a bit of cold by verdant pines and
cypresses and eerie tombstones surrounded.
There were no more umbrellas in the car. So although Henry saw that Kerry was drenched by the rain,
he had no way.
