My Mysterious Husband

“Well, take this prescription and go to the pharmacy to buy the medicine. Remember, go to the east, there’s a pharmacy there.”
Dr. Hua gave her a prescription, and Venus Mu took a look at it. She couldn’t understand any word.
It was said that medical school had its own words, and it’s true.
With the prescription, Venus asked along the way and finally found a pharmacy when she was almost out of the village. Getting
inside, she saw a middle-aged man with glasses was pounding something.
It was not a pharmacy, but just a room. In addition to a few racks of western medicine, against the wall was full of all kinds of
small wooden boxes, with labels on them, written angelica, astragalus, white atractylodis and so on.
It was exactly the same as TV series.
“What kind of medicine do you want to buy?” The middle-aged man raised his head and asked.
Venus gave him the prescription and said, “I’ll buy some.”
He took it and lifted his glasses to look at it and got up to take the medicine.
“This is Dr. Hua’s prescription, right?” The boss chatted with her as he took the medicine from the small wooden box.
“Right, it’s him.”
“It’s just that Dr. Hua has this kind of courage, others wouldn’t dare to prescribe these medicines.” His tone was full of admiration.
After weighing and packing, he handed it to Venus.
Back home, Kevin Ye was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard. His hair was wet as if he just came out of the water, and the
clothes on his back stuck to his back.
Venus hurried over and asked with concern, “How are you feeling? Is it painful?”
Kevin smiled, “It is a little, but it’s bearable.”
“This young man is good. I’ve seen many patients before, shouting so loud. It’s only you can endure this.” Dr. Hua took the
traditional Chinese medicine that Venus brought back, smelling it and went into the kitchen.
Venus pointed at Dr. Hua’s back and whispered, “I think he’s especially like the kind of sage, with a strange temper.”

Kevin agreed with her, “You’re right, but he’s really good, just after that, my right hand feels hot, much better than when it was
cold.”
“Really?” Venus surprised him by grabbing his arm.
“Ouch, it hurts.” Kevin grimaced, so Venus let go of his arm like she got an electric shock and asked, “What? What?”
Kevin took a deep breath and smiled, “Dr. Hua just used acupuncture, massage and cupping.”
“I’m sorry. Forgive me.”
Soon, the air was filled with the strong smell of Chinese herbs, and it was bitter to smell.
Dr. Hua held a palm-leaf fan and came out of the kitchen to sit across from the two, and said seriously, “The broken bone is not a
big deal. The broken tendon matters. As long as the tendon is renewed, but it will take at least half a year. I will stay here for few
days, so I can help you before my leaving.”
Then where can we find you?” Venus asked anxiously.
“What are you anxious about? At that time, I will give you the prescription. As for the acupuncture, massage and so on, you can
try to learn, so that you can help your boyfriend.”
As soon as Venus heard ‘boyfriend’, she hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, he is not my boyfriend, he is...he is my brother, my
brother.”
“Brother? But he looks so much younger than you.” Dr. Hua looked at her with a suspicious gaze.
Venus blushed, “I might look younger than my age.”
“Oh,” Dr. Hua seemed to see through something, so he didn’t force her, “Then you’d better find someone who knows a little bit
about medicine to come over. I’m not going to stay here for half a year.”
“Don’t worry, we have a family doctor and I’ll tell him to come tomorrow.”
...

There was inn in the village, so Venus, Kevin and the driver were staying temporarily. It’s not the peak tourist season at this time,
so there were many vacant rooms. In the evening, the wind suddenly gusted and heavy rain crackled down.
It was 4:00 p.m., when Kerry had finished his meeting. Then he had attended an important dinner party, and he was supposed to
go there today, but plans always changed.
“That’s the thing, we’re staying at an Airbnb in the village, and we’re expected to stay for four or five days.” Venus sat by the
window, pouring rain outside.
Kerry was standing on the balcony outside the banquet. Listening to her voice, his irritated mood of the day gradually calmed
down, “Then I’ll arrange my work, and go over there with Dr. Han tomorrow.”
Venus rolled her eyes. She wished he wouldn’t come.
Seeing that she didn’t say more, Kerry softened his tone, “I’ll hang up first then. I’m still busy.”
“Wait.” Venus shouted, “I came here only in a dress, so when you come, bring me some clothes, also toiletries.”
Kerry smiled, with an imperceptible hint of tenderness.
However, all his tenderness at the moment was swallowed by the heavy rain, which Venus didn’t notice.
