My Mysterious Husband

Venus was asking about the hat, but he was talking about her.

She paid for the hat and walked away at a brisk pace.

“Hey, young lady, do you want to take the boat?” A boatman asked her when she walked towards the river. “It’s only a hundred per person. It will a shame if you come this place without taking the boat.”

Venus had never taken that kind of boat. She said to Kerry: “What do you think? It looks pretty fun.”

“You are the guest. It’s all up to you.” Kerry smiled.

“Good! Let’s go!” Venus said. The boatman reached his hand out to help Venus to get on, but Kerry jumped onto the boat quickly and reached his hand out as well. He was so fast, and the boatman drooped his arm awkwardly.

“Be careful.”

Venus took his hand and jumped onto the boat. The boat wobbled and Venus lost her balance and fell directly into Kerry’ s arms.

Venus found it rather awkward, but Kerry thought it was a lovely moment.

The boatman smiled and said: “Take a seat please. I’ll row the boat.”

Venus broke away from him and sat in the boat. The big brim of her hat covered her face so Kerry couldn’t see her expression.

The boat drifted along the river slowly. Venus rested her chin on her hands and her elbows on the edge of the boat. The scenery absorbed her, and that little incident occurred just now was completely out of her mind.

“It must be nice to live here. Even the time slows down. So peaceful and free.” Venus said.

“Not necessarily.” Kerry said.

Venus looked at him and asked: “Why?”

“This place was once peaceful and tranquil, but now, so many tourists come to this place every single day. They are here even before the locals wake up.” Kerry said and looked up at the bank, where a tour guide was telling a group of tourists about the history of this place through a loud speaker.
