My wife is in my arms

Chapter 348: Trivial Matters Before the Lunar New Year
After two heavy snowfalls some time ago, it seemed as if all the coldness of this winter had been drained away.

The wind continued to blow.

It wasn't that cold, but the fallen banyan leaves on the street were still curled up. This winter had the bleakness of autumn, except that the afternoon sun shone through the polished glass into the musical instrument shop, forming spots of light of varying sizes.

The wind chimes hanging outside the store with red ropes swayed and made crisp sounds.

Xia Zhiqiu, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, had half of his body covered in light, and a strand of thin hair created a subtle light and shadow on his forehead under the rendering of the light.

It was such an afternoon.

It looks ordinary, as if nothing has changed.

In fact, from Xia Zhiqiu's thin face, it can be seen that many established things have quietly changed.

Her song "Expectation" was just like the result after its release, it was directly drowned in the ocean of songs released by many famous singers. Xia Zhiqiu did not feel disappointed with such a result, as if after she knew something, all her "Expectations" had become meaningless.

So empty that it seems like it shouldn't exist.

The pen in her hand was still touching the A4 sheet on the cash register. The paper covered with words had many traces of erasures and became extremely messy, just like her thoughts that were difficult to sort out.

Liking someone is a personal thing.

But love... should be a matter between two people.

What a pity... The clear light floated slowly, with dust floating in the air. In the past, she liked such days, guarding her own shop alone. Although it was a bit different from her original career, it felt good to occasionally play a song with the musical instruments in her shop in her spare time.

Occasionally, when Xia Zhiqiu was not writing lyrics, she would look up and stare blankly. Compared to "Expectation", which was written in one go as if to express her own feelings, this song "He is Not Him" ​​made her feel more difficult and painful to write.

Many, many years ago, when she was a young girl, she also had unrealistic fantasies.

She fantasizes about what her future partner will look like. At the same time, she also fantasizes about how he, who belongs to her alone, will appear in her world.

Because of this fantasy.

She expected her love to develop like the plot in some romance novels, that he would appear at a time she had never imagined.

Just like the sun shower that suddenly fell when the sun was clearly shining, beyond everyone's expectations, it suddenly appeared in her life in a form that seemed reasonable but brought a little surprise.

So she resisted her parents' introduction and waited slowly with this beautiful fantasy, waiting for her own other half to paint all kinds of brilliant colors in her blank emotional world.

Afterwards... on their wedding night, she would give her whole self to him with anticipation and trepidation, and then the two of them would walk hand in hand into the rest of their lives.

perhaps.

Many years later, when I think back to how we met and got to know each other, I still feel a happy smile.

The accidental appearance of Li Zongsheng seemed to make her longing for love concrete.

Because she thought he looked like the domestic violence husband of her idol Jiang Yiren when they first met, she refused to do business with him.

Not much time had passed since they first met, so Xia Zhiqiu could still vividly remember every detail of that moment and the scene of her polishing the piano.

The two gradually became familiar with each other, and when he came over, they could chat like friends. It seemed that as the number of their meetings increased, she was attracted to his talent little by little, until he silently entered her heart.

When she realized this, she knew what it felt like to like someone.

My heart races when I see him, but when I can't see him, I wonder what he's doing! I also want to share interesting things with him, but there are many things I haven't had time to do yet...

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Zhiqiu continued to write "He is Not Him" ​​with his head down.

Even though it has been crossed out many times, you can still tell what was written.

"The wind remembers you coming, the snow remembers you leaving. If tomorrow is a sunny day, I used to look forward to your appearance. Later, I finally realized that you are not the one for me. Your appearance was just a mistake. You don't need to apologize, you don't need to stay, just walk towards your future and the sea of ​​flowers that belongs to you..."

After another pause, Xia Zhiqiu looked at the words he had written: "Just walk towards your future and the sea of ​​flowers that belongs to you." Suddenly, sadness welled up in his heart.

She also knew that it was nothing, after all, it hadn't even started yet.

She understood the reason, but she just couldn't help it, because this was the first time in so many years that she liked a man, even if such liking was meaningless.

But if you like someone, you like him, and you can’t lie to him.

Her sister-in-law said, "As long as you don't express your love, it's not true love. As time goes by, such love will quickly be buried by other feelings until it is forgotten."

Xia Zhiqiu didn't think so.

In her opinion, true love for someone will not change over time.

There was a sound of a glass door being pushed open, and Xia Zhiqiu subconsciously turned around to look.

Her eyes lit up, then dimmed. When she looked up again, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she asked, "Should I call you Mr. Zhang You, or Mr. Li Zongsheng?"

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled twice, then as if he had noticed something, he looked at Xia Zhiqiu carefully before asking, "Have you lost weight? You look a lot thinner!"

"Even you can see it, which proves that the effect is very obvious."

Xia Zhiqiu replied, then continued to ask, "What should I call you!?"

"Li Zongsheng, Zhang Youzhen is my brother"

Zhang You laughed.

"No way!"

Xia Zhiqiu exaggerated, "It's already like this, and you still want to continue lying to me? You're not going to say that the person who appeared on the Hundred Flowers Awards stage wasn't you! And I saw the entertainment reports, and you're also the music director of Tianyu Entertainment Company."

"It's free today, I'll tell you the truth"

Zhang You laughed.

"..."

Even though she already knew that Li Zongsheng and Zhang You were the same person, Xia Zhiqiu...even she couldn't understand her own thoughts, she actually nodded with a sense of luck and said, "Okay!"

"I was indeed the guest performer, but I wasn't the music director. My brother took my place."

After Zhang You finished speaking, he looked at Xia Zhiqiu and said seriously, "It's better not to lose weight. You should know that fat is actually a good way to protect yourself. At critical moments, fat can save your life. This is scientifically proven."

talking.

Zhang You noticed an extra piece of paper on the cash register. He immediately realized that Xia Zhiqiu was writing lyrics again. He took a look and casually asked, "When will your song "Expectation" be released? I'll promote it for you."

“No need, it’s already been sent.”

Xia Zhiqiu said with a smile.

Zhang You turned to look at Xia Zhiqiu, his eyes full of doubt, but then he continued to read the lyrics, saying, "Don't be embarrassed, we are friends, it won't be a big deal to help promote it."

Watch and watch.

Zhang You suddenly frowned.
