Kerry’ s eyes searched the crowd but Venus was not among them. He asked many people but none of
them saw her. It is a big mall and there are many stores. There was no way Kerry could check the
stores one by one. And also, Venus was probably not staying at the same place, which made it more
difficult to find her.
Kerry walked around the fifth floor, and he ran into a parent who was helping him to look for Venus. But
that parent didn’t find her either. The parent didn’t understand why was Kerry so worried. She asked:
“Mr Ye, doesn’t your wife have a phone?”
“No, she doesn’t.” Kerry said. His face crumbled. “Her brain had an injury some time earlier, and she is
still recovering.”
The parent knew what he meant. She comforted him by saying: “Don’t worry. Maybe you can check the
security footage.”
Kerry patted his forehead and said: “Of course! Why didn’t I think of it? Thank you. I’ll go right now.”
Kerry was about to go checking the footage, but suddenly, his phone rang. It was Henry.
“Sir, we found Venus.” Henry said.
“Where she is?”
“She is in a tea milk store on the seventh floor.”
Kerry sighed with relief. He said: “I’ll be right there.”
“Is she found?” The parent asked.
Kerry’s expression softened. He said: “Yes. She is on the seventh floor.”
“I see. There are many restaurants on the seventh floor. She is must hungry.”
“Thank you so much for your help. Please tell the other parents that we have found her. And do
remember to come to my home tomorrow. I owe all of you a great debt of gratitude.”
“I’ll let them know.”
Kerry nodded at her and rushed upstairs with Pingan in his arms.
He was on the seventh floor. Delicious smells were wafting through the air. And then, he heard Henry
shouting at him: “Sir, this way!”
Kerry squeezed his way through the crowd, and he found Venus was sipping a cup of milk tea. She
smiled brightly when she saw him. Obviously she had no idea how much trouble she just caused.
But Kerry was not angry at all. All his negative feelings vanished the moment he saw her. Kerry walked
into the store and took a seat opposite her. Venus passed him the milk tea and asked him to taste it.
“It’s so very good.” She said.
Kerry took a sip. The tea is warm and soft. And he felt his nerves were calmed in an instant. He said:
“Yes, it’s very good.” And Venus smiled brilliantly and took back her milk tea.
Pingan’s curiosity was aroused. He also wanted to take a sip. Venus agreed, but Kerry said: “No. He is
too little and this is bad for his health.”
“Oh.” Venus said, and resumed drinking the tea.
“You can not act alone. You understand? I was so worried about you. I thought you were lost.” Kerry
said and grabbed Venus’s hand tightly.
Venus looked at him. She felt Kerry’s hand was shaking. And she nodded seriously.
Turned out, Venus felt rather bored when Kerry was talking with the parents. Suddenly, she noticed a
girl was drinking a cup of milk tea, and she also wanted one. So she walked to the girl and pointed at
her milk tea. The girl told her that she can buy it on the seventh floor. So she went upstairs directly. At
that time, Henry and his people were playing with Pingan, so they didn’t notice Venus was missing.
Kerry and Venus had dinner on the seventh floor. On the way back home, Kerry said to Henry
seriously: “Your wages will be docked! If this happens again, all of you will be fired!”
Henry’s head drooped. He felt rather guilty and he said: “Yes, sir. I won’t let it happen again.”
They were at home. Kerry told John the Butler that they would have guests tomorrow, and he asked
him to do some preparations.
Pingan felt exhausted. He went to bed and fell asleep very fast. Kerry was very glad that Pingan was
asleep. He picked him up and put him in the cradle, and covered him in a quilt.
Venus came out from the shower. Her hair was plastered to her head. Kerry took out a hair dryer and
said to her: “Come. Sit here.”
Her hair was short. So it only took a minute to dry her hair. Venus went to bed and said to him: “Let’s
sleep.”
How could Kerry possibly fall asleep. He got onto bed and kissed Venus hungrily. Venus didn’t resist.
She kissed back. And Kerry’ s desire was aroused. They hadn’t had sex for a long time because of
Venus’s injury and Pingan’s existence. So Kerry had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“Tell me you also want it.” Kerry said. He was breathing heavily.
Venus had no idea what he was talking about.
Kerry kissed on her lips again and said: “Say you want it.”
“I want it.” Venus obeyed. Her voice was shaking. And now Kerry’ s desire was burning. He could no
longer hold it.
“I don’t feel good.” Venus frowned.
“What’s the problem?”
“I don’t know. I just...”
“Okay, I’ll make you feel good.” Kerry said. Then they kissed hungrily and made love to each other
passionately. After a long time, both of them were exhausted, and Kerry held Venus in his arms and fell
asleep.
......
The weather was ideal. They could not ask for a more perfect day for a party. Pingan’s friends arrived
with their parents. And every guest exclaimed when they saw how grand Kerry’ s house is. John knew
there would be many small guests, so he bought lots of snacks for the children.
Pingan was very excited. He took out his toys and shared them with his friends. His smile was brilliant.
He had never been this happy before. Kerry now realized that this is the kind of life Pingan wants.
Pingan needs to be with his friends. Pingan needs to hang out with a group of children at his age. He
realized he was overprotective, and he had underestimated Pingan’s adaptability.
It was ten o’clock. Kerry thought Venus should be awake. So he went upstairs to check on her.
Venus was awake. But she was still in bed. Kerry said: “It’s time to get up. It’s ten o’clock.”
Kerry then reached his hand out to touch her face. But Venus moved away from him all of a sudden as
if she was frightened. She looked at Kerry with horror, as if she had never seen him before.
Kerry was also frightened. He said nervously: “Venus, what’s the matter?”
Venus covered herself in the quilt in an instant and moved further away from Kerry. She said coldly:
“Who are you?”
Kerry’s mind went blank. “What do you mean? I’m your husband. Venus, don’t you remember me?”
Venus looked at him suspiciously. “Nonsense. I’m only eighteen. I don’t have a husband.”
“What?” Kerry shouted. “You are twenty-five this year. Have you lost your memories?”
“How is that possible?” Venus said in disbelief. “I remember I had my 18th birthday yesterday.”
“Seriously. Venus. Please stop doing this. You are twenty-five years old. You are married to me. And
we also have a son. His name is Pingan. Remember?”
Venus’s face darkened. She swallowed nervously and said: “I have a son?”
“Yes. You do.”
Venus pinched her arm very hard to see whether she was dreaming. Then she said: “This is not a
dream! What happened? Did I just travel through time? I don’t want to be twenty-five!”
Kerry seemed calm and peaceful. But he felt his world was just rocked.
“She really lost her memories?” He thought to himself.
