My wife is in my arms

Chapter 257 Mystery Two
afternoon.

Around 2:30, the winter sun brought a slightly intoxicating warmth. A piece of paper was spread on the cash register, and a beautiful figure was sitting on a chair. Occasionally, she would hold her chin and think for a moment.

Occasionally, she would pick up a ballpoint pen and write something on a piece of white paper.

It has been a long time since Li Zongsheng last came here.

As time goes by, some emotions not only do not disappear, but slowly accumulate together, like longing that takes root deep in the mind and gradually sprouts with the passage of time.

It feels like a layer of transparent clinker film. If you don't touch it easily, it may take a long time to break through. But if all the feelings do not disappear before the clinker film is corroded by time, one day it will penetrate this film, and then I hope to meet the person I want to meet according to that feeling.

Having a crush is a very polite thing.

Because don't disturb.

But all secret crushes, as long as they are not like the boys and girls in their prime, who stop at a certain time when they are about to part and take back the letter of love that they expressed directly, will eventually turn into a liking that they want to disturb, and then look forward to it gradually evolving into a love that can run to each other.

The musical instrument shop was as quiet as usual.

Xia Zhiqiu had heard this sentence before, but she had forgotten where she read it from, but she still remembered the sentence very clearly.

“When today is no different from yesterday, it means you are still stuck at the same point in time as the day before yesterday. The only difference is that you are dragged by the power of time through yesterday, today, and tomorrow.”

Originally, Xia Zhiqiu didn't feel too deeply about this sentence, but after waiting in anticipation for this period of time, she seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence... As long as Li Zongsheng doesn't show up, yesterday, today, and perhaps tomorrow, time seems empty to her.

It is because of this realization.

As a former music teacher, she was bored today, so she found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the two song titles "Expectation" that could represent her mood.

After that lyrics.

"I always like to look out the window alone. The wind stirs the fallen leaves, sways the city, and shakes the knot in my heart. At the crossroads ahead, yellow flowers bloom in this winter. I look forward to his arrival, like floating clouds wandering in the sky. Time passes bit by bit. When will he come? Will it be like the snow that never falls in summer..."

The written words are as gentle as the tip of the pen touching the paper.

There was a slight pause.

He reached out to pick up the water cup next to the cashier and took a sip of water. Then he picked up the black ballpoint pen again and continued writing, "I don't want my expectations to keep wandering in the unknown time. I hope you will slowly wave to me and tell me that my expectations will not be in vain..."

Just finished writing this sentence.

Xia Zhiqiu noticed that the light shining on her through the glass window had dimmed a little. She subconsciously raised her head, and then her expression froze for a moment. All her expectations became reality at this moment.

Subconsciously.

She covered the lyrics she had written with her hands, like a girl whose little thoughts were exposed, with a blush and embarrassment on her fair face.

"let me see"

Zhang You directly pulled out the paper that Xia Zhiqiu was covering.

"no"

When Xia Zhiqiu quickly stood up to grab it, Zhang You stretched out his hand to block him.

As he watched, Zhang You's expression showed shock. As one of the few singers who once stood at the top of the music scene, Zhang You had a strong ability to judge the quality of lyrics.

Although the lyrics of Xia Zhiqiu's song "Expectation" are simple, the transitions between paragraphs and the rhymes between the lines reveal the potential of Cheng Xiang, the queen of hits on earth.

Just like her song "Waiting for Your Return", the lyrics do seem simple, but each paragraph connects perfectly, which is exactly the necessary feature of a hit single.

Perhaps, such a song will not become a hit, but its popularity and spread are slightly inferior to even a hit.

Last time, when Xia Zhiqiu and Zhongxia sang the song together, Zhang You felt that this woman was very talented in writing lyrics, but he didn't think too deeply about it. But now when he saw this song "Expectation", Zhang You found that Xia Zhiqiu was special in writing lyrics. She could grasp the rhyme and turning points.

This is an insight that many lyricists lack.

In addition to being able to write lyrics, this woman is also proficient in many musical instruments.

After returning the lyrics of "Expectation" to Xia Zhiqiu, Zhang You said seriously, "I think you can really release a single. You have more potential to become a hit than your student Zhongxia."

"..."

Xia Zhiqiu secretly observed Li Zongsheng's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and it seemed that he hadn't discovered who the person she was looking forward to in the poem "Expectation" was. Xia Zhiqiu's heart, which had been in her throat, slowly calmed down.

"Really, believe me, it would be a shame if you didn't release any songs"

Zhang You spoke again.

After seeing Xia Zhiqiu's talent in writing lyrics today, Zhang You began to look forward to Zhongxia. If her vocal range was really well-trained by her music teacher Xia Zhiqiu, Zhang You felt that it didn't matter if she was a little ugly or darker.

Originally, Zhang You signed Zhongxia out of sympathy and pity, but now... he hopes that Zhongxia can become another pension insurance after his daughter Xiaozi Shan.

"Can I?!"

Xia Zhiqiu asked uncertainly.

"Can"

Zhang You looked at the musical instrument shop and said, "You have nothing to do in the shop anyway. Why not upload the song you recorded today and last time to a music website to test the waters? If... your family has money anyway, then don't sign with an agency. Although they may provide you with a lot of resources, in return, you may be fully booked. Just open a studio with only a few dozen people."

"My dad is just the principal."

Xia Zhiqiu said unhappily.

When she met Li Zongsheng for the first time, this guy revealed in his words that her father, the principal, embezzled students' food expenses. Now that he mentioned it again, it proved that this guy was certain of his original idea.

"All right!"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Afterwards, he ignored Xia Zhiqiu, took the musical instruments he needed and went straight to the second floor. Since the song "When Love Becomes a Thing of the Past" had already been given to Zhang Yi, Zhang You naturally had to compose the music and send it to her.

This woman... putting aside the adulterer issue, she's really a good person.

Because of this, Zhang You became even more curious about how charming her adulterer was! To the point where Zhang Yi was willing to divorce a good man like Yuan Hong and be with him.

"Li Zongsheng"

Xia Zhiqiu shouted.

Zhang You stopped and stood at the corner between the first and second floors, looking over with confusion. Xia Zhiqiu's dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth. She smiled and said, "I'm releasing a single, you have to promote it for me."

"Is it free today!?"

Zhang You asked with a smile.

"waived"

The dimples on Xia Zhiqiu's lips deepened a little.

Outside the musical instrument shop, the sunlight is permeated with the years, and the yellowed leaves fallen from the old locust tree are thrown into the distance in the winter wind.

The streets with constant traffic of pedestrians and vehicles are like old photos corroded by time, with distinct shadows, where the light cannot reach, just like love that moves in the heart but cannot fall with the wind.

Like and love are both good words.
But the time and place of appearance often determine what happens later.

This winter is as bleak as usual.
