“No, no, no, wait for a moment…” Venus said.
“I can’t wait.” Kerry said.
In a moment there came a gasp…
“Kerry, can you be gentle? Do you want to eat me?” Venus gasped in protest.
“Yes, I want to eat you.” Kerry said.
“Ha, ha, ha. No, don’t touch…” Venus said.
The temperature in the room was so high that they sweated even without the quilt on. Combined with
strenuous exercise, both of them were sweating like they were plucked out of water.
“Kerry, that’s enough of that.” Venus said drawlingly.
“No, I can never have enough of that with you.” Kerry said.
Venus raised her hand and slapped him hard on his back. “Pingan is coming in later.” Venus said.
“No, John is with him.” Kerry said.
“Oh my god,” Venus said with her head in her hands, “I’m ashamed to see them tomorrow.”
Kerry bit her on the lip and said, “It’s okay. They will understand.”
That night, Kerry had sex with Venus for many times. He didn’t leave her alone, even if she begged for
mercy hoarsely. He wanted to get back what she owed him in all this time.
As Kerry anticipated, while them two were enjoying themselves upstairs, John and Henry complained
incessantly.
Because after Pingan had played with them for a while, he wanted to go upstairs to find Venus. Henry
daren’t let Pingan go upstairs to spoil Kerry’s mood to enjoy, so he held Pingan in his arms and said,
“Pingan, shall I play with you?”
“No, I want my mother to play with me.” Pingan pouted and said.
“Pingan, I’ll take you to dinner. Mrs Qin made your favorite tofu soup today.” John said.
As soon as Pingan heard about the food, he quieted down. Reluctantly, he nodded. Then Henry carried
him to the dining room for dinner.
“Gee? Where is Kerry and Venus?” Mrs Qin asked.
John gave an inscrutable smile and said, “Don’t trouble yourself about them. Let’s eat first.”
Mrs Qin didn’t know the implication of John ‘s words and said, “This will not do.”
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” John said.
“Oh, I see.” Mrs Qin smiled and said, “I’ll save some food in case they get hungry at midnight.”
“They can drink water when they’re hungry. Anyway, they are bathed in tenderness.” Henry said.
John gave Henry a tap with his chopsticks and said, “Boy, how dare say that?”
“I’m just kidding.” Henry said.
Adults understood what happened, but Pingan didn’t. After dinner, Pingan still wanted to find Venus. No
matter what fine words John and Henry said, Pingan said the same, “I want my mother.”
Then Mrs Qin said to Pingan, “Pingan, do you want a sibling to play with you?”
Pingan opened his eyes wide and said, “What is a sibling?”
“A sibling is like your good friends, like Erduo, Xiaomei and Taotao. A sibling will also play with you and
accompany you all the time.” Mrs Qin said.
“Really?” Pingan said interestedly.
Seeing some success, they three nodded and said, “Yes, and you can teach him how to disassemble
tanks and load cars. It’s all up to you.”
After hearing that, Pingan was happy. He clapped his hands and said, “Yes, I want a sibling.”
“Then you just go to sleep by yourself tonight and leave Mom and Dad alone, and you’ll soon have a
sibling.”
Pingan nodded heavily and said, “OK.”
John and Henry felt a sense of relief.
The reason is just a casual one they used to coax Pingan, but Pingan took it seriously. The next day, as
Kerry and Venus went downstairs looking sleepy, Pingan ran over to them. He walked around Kerry
and Venus and then his face fell.
“What are you looking for?” Kerry asked confusedly.
Pingan looked up with clenched fists, saying, “Where is my sibling?”
Kerry, who had just woken up in the morning, was still confused in mind. Venus, not to mention, had no
idea what it meant.
“What do you mean?” Kerry said.
“I want a sibling to play with me.” Pingan said. After seeing Kerry and Venus still don’t know what he
meant, Pingan was angry and said, “You are liars.”
Oh, what’s going on?
Kerry looked up at John and said, “What’s wrong with Pingan?”
John minced his words and said embarrassedly, “Well, sir Kerry, here is the thing. Pingan wanted to go
upstairs last night and we couldn’t stop him, so we coaxes him to say…”
“Ah, I see.” Venus’s head was suddenly clear. She interrupted John red-faced. She also turned her
head to stare at Kerry, as if saying, look, it’s all you fault.
Also embarrassed, John left quickly.
Kerry came to his sense and burst into laughing.
Then Kerry thought John was right. Pingan is too lonely. He should have a sibling to play with him.
Crouching down to look Pingan’s angry eyes, Kerry said gently, “Don’t be angry. John didn’t lie to you.
You will have a sibling, but mom and dad need time to do that. The sibling will as handsome and cute
as you.”
After hearing that, Pingan’s anger subsided a bit. “Really?” Pingan said.
“How can I lie to you?” Kerry said sincerely.
“OK.” Pingan said. Then Pingan was relieved and ran aside to play.
When Kerry stood up, he saw Venus’s angry eyes. “Who tell you I am going to give birth to another
child? I have enough to worry about Pingan. I don’t want to have another baby.” Venus said.
Kerry threw his arms around Venus’s shoulders and said, “I don’t say now. We’ll talk about it when you
want to have another baby. If you don’t want to have another one, that’s ok. We’ve already had Pingan.
I just said that to comfort Pingan.”
“That will do.” Venus said. Then she walked to the dining room.
If John hadn’t mentioned about having another baby, Kerry wouldn’t have thought of it. In fact, he
wanted to have another baby. From the time when Venus was pregnant, to when Pingan was born and
even when he was more than half a year old, Kerry failed to fulfill his duty as a husband and a father.
It’s the greatest regret of his life.
If he could have another child, he could make up for the regret. That’s, of course, based on the will of
Venus. He is not so selfish as to force Venus to give birth to another child.
He knows how hard it’s for a woman to be pregnant and have children.
The New Year was around the corner. In order to create a festive atmosphere, red lanterns have long
been hung in the streets.
Venus’s weight loss plan has been a success. As she stood on the weighing scale, she saw she is less
than 50 kg. As she was able to put on her old size s dress in the wardrobe, she happily snuggled into
the arms of Kerry and allowed him to spin her around.
Because of the combination of exercise and diet, her muscles are well developed and she looks much
better than before.
