"I'm currently working for a foreign company. I come back today to run some errands." His gaze was calm. "I feel good at school. Every time I come here, I feel like even time slow down a lot."
"I feel the same way," Venus echoed. Suddenly, she remembered the car accident he had suffered and asked with concern, “I heard you hurt your arm in a traffic accident. How is your injury?”
He shook his arm and smiled, “It's fine. At the time I thought I was going to lose this arm, but then my parents found an herbalist. My arm was treated for a year before it recovered."
"You must have suffered a lot."
"Yeah, but It's worth it." he smiled.
They talked more about the old time. Then Venus's phone rang. It was from Kerry.
"What’s up?" Venus's tone was cold.
"Are you done? I'm at the gate of the school now."
"I got it, be right out." Venus hung up the phone and smiled at him, "I should go."
"I'll walk you." He was a little sad. After all, Venus was the girl he used to like.
Venus refused, "Thank you. But you don’t have to."
"Well, let me see what your boyfriend looks like." He joked, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes.
He had known that a girl as beautiful and excellent as Venus would have many suitors.
Venus didn't refuse him, so he walked her to the school gate.
From a distance, she could see Kerry standing by the car with a cigarette between his fingers.
Kerry saw her and a man laughing and walking over, and froze for a moment, then he threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, striding over.
When the man saw Kerry, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
"What took you so long?" Kerry took a glance at the man and then looked at Venus.
"I ran into an old friend," Venus said coldly and didn't want to introduce him to her old friend.
"Goodbye." She said to the man.
"Bye. I hope I can see you again." said he. Before leaving her he threw upon her face a wistful glance.
Kerry saw through him and purposely grabbed her around the waist.
"Get your hands off my waist." Venus lowered her voice, unhappy.
"Tell me, what are you going back to him for?" Kerry asked calmly.
Venus took a glance at him. “He is not angry? It is too strange.” She thought.
She told him briefly about her schoolmate who had just injured his arm in a car accident.
"You want Kevin to go to this herbalist?" Kerry understood what she was trying to do and was in a better mood.
"Yeah, go try it. Maybe it works." said Venus.
Kerry thought about it and nodded.
At the dinner table, Kerry told Kevin about this. Kevin was going to refuse. He had been looking for a lot of herbalists over the years, and had taken a lot of Chinese medicine, but none of them had much effect.
But once he heard that it was Venus's idea, he was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to find the herbalist then."
Venus saw that he agreed, and even gave his phone number to Kerry, urging him, "You should call Mr. hua's son right now. If he's free, we'd better go find him immediately."
Kerry took the phone and dialed it. When it was connected, Kerry got up and walked out.
"Why do you so care about my arm all of a sudden?" Kevin looked at Venus, puzzled.
