My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1083 Wish One
The city sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun.

The evening breeze swept through the streets, and the large banyan trees on both sides of the road rustled. Autumn was gradually entering its middle, and the leaves were turning yellow. The outdoor temperature had dropped to around 20 degrees Celsius.

What followed was a series of rain showers and chilly weather.

Summer has passed and autumn has arrived; the four seasons have quietly completed their cycle. Plastic bags carelessly discarded by passersby after shopping are tossed far away by the evening breeze.

The traffic flowed back and forth in an endless stream.

It may seem that nothing has changed, but in reality, many things have changed.

Xia Zhi Qiu, wearing jeans and a light brown jacket, was putting the finishing touches on in the music instrument shop.

Because her songs "I'll Understand Eventually" and "Starlight" sold a lot, she used the money from those sales to open a small studio, hiring three or four people to help her with the work.

She occasionally gets commercial performance offers, and if she gets one, she goes; if she doesn't, she usually stays at the music store.

Because here... there are things she can't let go of.

This place is located in a corner of the city. There was a place here that had been... Xia Zhi Qiu remembered very clearly. He appeared here on this day last year. In addition, Zhong Xia, who had not yet made a name for himself in the music scene, also came from here.

The tall, slender girl is now a sophomore in college.

Some things happened a year ago, but they are still very clear in her mind. The music store hasn't changed much; the recording equipment upstairs is still the same one he used last year.

The layout downstairs is still the same as before. She originally wanted to make some changes so that it would have a fresh look and a different feel, but she decided against it. Since it had already changed, if she changed this place as well, Xia Zhi Qiu didn't know if she would still be like this, sitting on the cashier's chair in a daze with a cup of hot water when she had nothing to do.

New friends I made in the first half of the year.

It hasn't appeared since the beginning of spring; it may have moved to a different location.

Right.

Whether it's a person or a bird, no one wants to stay in one place for too long. They all hope to find a new place to see. If they feel comfortable, they will stay; if not, they will move to another place. But they will never return to the original place.

The black piano is still placed in the center of the first-floor lobby.

She sometimes thinks that if she ever needs money, she can sell the piano as "the piano used by a top musician to first play 'Windy Hill'", and she thinks she should get a good price for it.

Because he's very famous now.

Even though her screenplays made so much money when they were made into movies, Xia Zhi Qiu still preferred the image of him sitting in a chair playing the piano, because at that time, he felt very close to her.

So close... Xia Zhi Qiu felt that if he really was Li Zongsheng, she would bravely take a step forward, and maybe there would be a "what if" too. Unfortunately, life never has "what ifs".

Even if he didn't, he could easily reach it back then.

We can chat.

We can have tea together. There's no need to brew tea leaves; just a simple cup of plain water is enough to warm up the whole autumn.

Things are different now. Last year, he said he was going to Tianyu Entertainment to be the music director. Xia Zhi Qiu remembers it clearly. He said it was "on the way," but... it seems he is no longer the same person.

Because he didn't keep his word.

After that conversation, I never came back, as if I had forgotten about this place. But that seems quite normal; once a person leaves a place, they never come back.

in fact.

At the time, no one paid any attention. Just like many people say "goodbye," everyone thought it was just a simple farewell and that they would see each other again soon. So, no one took it to heart and didn't say goodbye properly. But it was such a simple farewell that they never saw each other again.

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed in through the clear glass windows. (In the past.)

Xia Zhi Qiu felt that his arrival was very random, but it just so happened that he appeared in a certain gap in her thoughts. Now it's different. He has a lot of work to do, things to do, and a family to maintain, so... that unintentional visit was like a farewell without any proper goodbye.

Feeling that she had almost finished tidying up, Xia Zhi Qiu walked to the piano shelf. She would perform maintenance on this piano whenever she had time, but for some reason, she didn't tune a certain key that was a little out of tune.

sit on the chair.

Xia Zhi Qiu stretched out her slender fingers and began to play.

soon.

A tranquil and natural melody drifted from the music store, each note carrying a light and floating quality. At a certain moment, Xia Zhi Qiu noticed an extra figure in the music store.

She turned her head to look, then smiled at the person who had come, continuing to play "Windy Hill." When she finished playing, Zhongxia, who had grown considerably taller, waved the cake she was carrying and said, "Happy birthday, teacher."

"Just a casual birthday celebration"

Xia Zhiqiu smiled.

Although she said that, Xia Zhi Qiu was actually quite happy. She stood up from her chair, locked the glass door of the music store, made a phone call home, and then took Zhong Xia to a private restaurant.

Through the piece her teacher had just played, Zhongxia, now a sophomore, knew that her teacher was thinking about her mentor again. However, as she matured over the course of her university life, she realized that... some things are harder to let go of because they have no outcome.

It's mainly because her mentor is too outstanding.

Not to mention that Teacher Xia and her teacher's wife like her master, there are many girls in her school who like her master and even put up posters of her master on the dormitory walls. If that were all, it would be fine, but when they ran into her, they actually dragged her to see them and insisted that she call them "little teacher's wife".

of course.

Zhongxia knew they were joking.

When their master actually stood in front of them, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. Their master had a cold face, which was very scary, and they were terrified.

Once all the dishes were served, Zhongxia placed the cake she had bought in the center of the table and lit the candles.

"Teacher, you can make a wish now."

Zhongxia spoke with a smile.

"it is good"

Xia Zhi Qiu didn't stand on ceremony.

When she last visited Zhongxia, she noticed that the girl who used to unconsciously lower her head when speaking had become more confident, and her occasionally hunched back had straightened. When she spoke to people, she no longer avoided eye contact.

He underwent a complete transformation.

Xia Zhi Qiu closed her eyes, silently made a wish, and then blew out the candle.

"Teacher, may I ask if your wish is related to my master?"

"Midsummer asked curiously."

"..."

Xia Zhi Qiu was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Zhong Xia, you're something else! You dare to joke about your teacher. Don't even mention him, he's living the dream now, your teacher's wife gave birth to two sons for him."
