My wife is in my arms

Chapter 119 You Didn’t Get Married
Last year, a few aunts squatted on the green belt in the middle of the road to plant an unknown plant. Suddenly, a delicate and small emerald-yellow flower bloomed yesterday. Looking at it again today... In just one night, a small patch of yellow flowers clustered together appeared on the entire green belt.

now.

Xia Zhiqiu sat on the chair at the cashier counter of the musical instrument store, his chin resting on his hands, quietly gazing at the small sea of ​​yellow flowers through the glass door.

Li Zongsheng still didn’t come today.

It had been several days since he came to the store to compose music.

Originally, Xia Zhiqiu thought that his good impression of Li Zongsheng would slowly fade away with time and distance, just like a photo that was not exposed to the air directly, which would eventually fade little by little, until one day it suddenly lost its original color.

And then that didn't happen.

That little bit of goodwill seemed to slowly accumulate as distance and space extended, small and quiet, happening without any warning.

She was curious about where Li Zongsheng lived... Sometimes when she went to sleep at night, she would subconsciously wonder what Li Zongsheng was doing at this time! ?
And...that's the crucial question.

The tranquil atmosphere of the musical instrument shop made her thoughts float in this environment, just like the not-so-bright light in the morning. Only occasionally her thoughts would be interrupted by the sound of the air conditioner in the store automatically stopping after reaching a certain temperature.

Whenever this happens.

She would then put down her right hand that was supporting her chin and use her left hand instead.

After the last heavy rain, the outdoor temperature in the city has never warmed up. Today she is wearing a black coat with a plush lining and a pair of solid jeans. It is definitely not okay to go out in such clothes, but unless necessary, on days like this, she usually stays in this musical instrument shop with little business until the afternoon and evening.

Occasionally there are customers, but that’s another story. After all, the musical instrument shop is not like other stores that need to open early and close at nine or ten in the evening.

Just like what Li Zongsheng said, it is indeed deserted, but Xia Zhiqiu does not make money from this store. Like Li Zongsheng, she posted a job of producing song soundtracks online. However, unlike Li Zongsheng, she is not always unable to get any work. Once she gets a job, it is all lucrative. Of course, Xia Zhiqiu also knows that Li Zongsheng's attainments in music are indeed much better than hers.

Whether it was the sad piece of pure music last time, or the piano piece called "Feather Swollen" that he played in her store, and the soundtrack for Director Han's TV series, putting aside the other songs he composed for the singer Jiang Yiren, these three songs alone are enough to make him famous in the music world.

If... she likes musical instruments and understands the production of many types of music, and Li Zongsheng is also a genius in this area, then if... they should have a lot of common topics. Every time he thought of this, Xia Zhiqiu immediately chose to interrupt such thoughts.

She is no longer a little girl and is no longer qualified to have such wild ideas, especially when she doesn't know whether Li Zongsheng is single or married.

Time passes silently.

Just like every night when I lie in bed and close my eyes, I open them and it’s already the next morning.

Life is not full of surprises, nor does it bring so many unexpected joys... At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu's soft arc of light suddenly flashed, and then her eyes blinked quickly several times.

A familiar car suddenly appeared in her sight as she was looking at the yellow flowers clustered together in the middle of the road. While she was stunned, it slowly stopped in front of the musical instrument shop.

immediately.

The car door opens.

A familiar figure appeared.

He was wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of gray casual pants. Unlike the thick and simple hairstyle he had when we met last time, he seemed to have a big slicked-back hairstyle. However, it seemed that he had neglected to take care of it, so his hair was hanging to one side, making him look very casual.

Subconsciously.

Xia Zhiqiu sat up from the chair, and when Li Zongsheng slowly walked over, she had already opened the glass door with a smile on her face.

"Oh," Zhang You said jokingly, "the service is really getting better and better. They even offered to open the door for us. It would have been more meaningful if they had said welcome."

"welcome"

Xia Zhiqiu immediately did as she was told. At the same time, she bent down slightly and extended her hand in an invitation. When Zhang You walked into the store, she chuckled and said, "You always come in the afternoon. I thought the afternoon was your active time!"

“I don’t have a stable job.”

Zhang You replied casually.

"What kind of music are you going to make today!?"

Xia Zhiqiu asked with a smile.

"Crime Soundtrack"

Zhang You replied.

"I noticed your business is really good, one deal after another..."

Before Xia Zhiqiu could finish, Zhang You laughed and joked to himself, "This proves that my service level is relatively high, so many bosses like to employ me."

"I think... your wife should be very happy that you have made so much money!?"

Xia Zhiqiu asked with a smile.

"Comrade Xia Zhiqiu, you have to understand one thing. If a man uses the money he earns to make a woman happy, then money loses its original meaning. The money I earn... for now should be considered as paying off debts."

At the end of his speech, Zhang You paused for a moment, then laughed at himself.

After asking that question, Xia Zhiqiu didn't look at Li Zongsheng again, but she kept observing his expression from the corner of her eye. After hearing Li Zongsheng's last sentence and that self-deprecating smile, she seemed to understand something and said, "Helping your brother pay off his debts, right? Don't deny it. I'm a die-hard fan of the singing queen Jiang Yiren. I've read many reports about her husband losing a lot of money gambling abroad. We should be friends now, right?!"

Seeing Li Zongsheng looking at him with some doubt, Xia Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment before saying with a smile, "I'm going to say something you may not like to hear. You can't save a gambler at all. Moreover, the more you help him, the deeper he may fall into the trap, and he will eventually drag down everyone who cares about him. So, Comrade Li Zongsheng, make a decisive move now."

“You have the potential to be a spiritual mentor.”

Zhang You suddenly replied with a smile, and began to look for the instruments needed for today's music. Zhang You didn't remember many music related to crime themes, but there was a suspense-specific BGM that he thought was quite suitable.

Whenever that song plays, anyone lying down at home will feel like there is someone under the bed.

The dense drum beats mainly give people a suffocating feeling of oppression. As the electronic sound spreads and mixes with the drum beats, the rhythm of the whole song is not only not released, but makes people more anxious.

When such a background appeared, the ogre appeared behind others without warning and slowly approached step by step.

"Li Zongsheng, let me ask you a question, are you married?!"

suddenly.

Xia Zhiqiu's voice appeared beside Zhang You. Zhang You, who was thinking about the dark music, was directly startled. He replied unhappily, "I am married and have a daughter."
