My wife is in my arms

Chapter 384 New Chapter

I originally thought that as his friend, he would send me a text message after receiving it, but until today, Xia Zhiqiu has not received his New Year text message.

in fact.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't care much either.

It’s just… I clearly agreed to treat her as a friend.

Since they were friends, she wished him a happy new year, so she should at least send him one! ?
Even though it was the beginning of spring a few days ago, the night tonight still seemed a little cold. However, the room had floor heating, so Xia Zhiqiu didn't feel cold.

The fireworks rising from downstairs in the community bloomed not far from the glass window, reflecting Xia Zhiqiu's eyes like autumn water. She saw the fireworks and heard the sounds coming from downstairs.

This time of year in previous years.

She would also buy some fireworks and set them off with the kids downstairs. Every time this happened, her father Xia Jianguo would laugh and say that she seemed like she hadn't grown up. But this year, she seemed to have forgotten the need to buy fireworks, and also forgot to go downstairs to welcome the New Year together. These past few days, she had been living... as if she hadn't even noticed the New Year coming and going.

Sit for a while.

Subconsciously, Xia Zhiqiu picked up the phone in his hand and opened the screen to take a look.

Compared to yesterday, there were fewer New Year's greetings text messages today, but yesterday Zhongxia also sent her a New Year's greetings text message.

She is obviously a very introverted girl, but when she sent New Year's greetings text messages, she seemed to be letting herself go, and even wished her, a former music teacher, to find a boyfriend this year.

After flipping through it casually, Xia Zhiqiu still didn't see his text message.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't know whether he was worried about the New Year's greeting text message that he didn't receive, or worried that... he would forget about him.

Unlike other women, Xia Zhiqiu doesn't like bags and cosmetics, and doesn't care much about whether her clothes are branded or not. Besides listening to music, she especially likes to read romance novels.

She likes the occasional acquaintance between the hero and heroine in the story.

I like the hug on the railing of the misty bridge after the misunderstanding is resolved. Although the author arranged many parts very deliberately, isn’t life like this?

What you think is accidental is actually a destined arrangement in the dark.

But Xia Zhiqiu never thought of bringing the plot of romance novels into reality.

Because of this, when Zhang You pretended to be Li Zongsheng and appeared in her store, she was unaware and did not realize that she would fall in love with him little by little without realizing it.

On ordinary days.

A man who looks like the husband of singer Jiang Yiren.

That's all.

But later... a certain feeling gradually grew in her heart silently, became clearer as time went by, and finally turned into reality.

She likes him.

However..., autumn has not yet arrived, but the winter snow has already fallen.

Everything had to come to an end before it could even begin.

The door was pushed open. Xia Zhiqiu, who was looking at his phone, turned around and saw that it was his sister-in-law again. Xia Zhiqiu pretended to be impatient and said, "What are you doing again!?"

"What do you think!?"

Jiang Qiu, who had also finished taking a shower, looked at his sister-in-law with a distressed look on his face.

Ever since she sent Zhongxia to her sister-in-law's shop that day, and after her sister-in-law came back, her mood has been depressed. Although she deliberately pretended to be indifferent, she could not see through Jiang Qiu's eyes.

She has been in the Xia family for more than one or two years, and she has seen her sister-in-law more than once or twice when she was living with her current husband. Over the years, it has been five or six years.

So she knew exactly what her sister-in-law looked like. But after returning that day, she would often become absent-minded at certain moments, with a touch of sadness in her eyes. In just a few days, her face, which had become somewhat thinner after she learned that the man was the husband of the singing queen Jiang Yiren, became even thinner. Her once round face now had a pointed chin.

"I'm fine"

Xia Zhiqiu said with a smile.

“It’s hard to believe you’re like this.”

Jiang Qiu sat down opposite her sister-in-law, and looked out the window with her. "I know you're not looking at the night view, but thinking about someone, Zhiqiu. I don't want to say anything too harsh, but you have to face the reality. It was impossible for you two before, and it's even more impossible now. Liking someone and being together are two different things. I don't need to explain this to you, you should understand."

"I know"

Xia Zhiqiu took a deep breath, smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you! I'm fine."

"..."

Jiang Qiu sighed.

She really didn't want to see her sister-in-law like this. As for blaming that person... Jiang Qiu understood that this matter really could not be blamed on that person.

But... now it seems that it is not surprising.

Why would she go to her sister-in-law's shop for no reason?! She's not broke, she could just go to a dedicated recording place instead. Why did she have to come and harm her sister-in-law...?

Don’t you know that women who have never been in a relationship can’t meet handsome and talented men? ?

"Sister-in-law, have you ever truly loved someone?!"

suddenly.

Xia Zhiqiu asked this question.

"..."

Jiang Qiu was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "Don't try to trick me. Who else could I like besides your brother?!"

Xia Zhiqiu looked at her sister-in-law, and finally under her gaze, Jiang Qiu's expression became slightly unnatural, and he subconsciously turned his head away.

Many things are very simple to say. One is the principal's son, and the other has nothing. It is very clear how to choose between the two.

Love is beautiful, but it is not the only thing in life. Having a stable and long-term future is what matters.

Seeing that his sister-in-law didn't want to talk, Xia Zhiqiu didn't ask any more questions. The aunt and sister-in-law fell silent because of this question. After a while, Jiang Qiu said, "Your song "Expectation" has been listened to over 1,500 times. Didn't an entertainment company call you a few days ago to invite you to join? What do you think?!"

"He said if I didn't want to make a lot of money, I could set up my own small studio."

Xia Zhiqiu replied.

"It's fine this way. If I want to sing, I can sing. If I don't want to sing, I can continue to run the musical instrument shop. If I really want to enter the entertainment industry, my family will definitely be worried."

Jiang Qiu nodded.

At this time.

A figure stood at the door of the open room and knocked. Xia Zhiqiu and Jiang Qiu turned around at the same time and saw Xia Jianguo, wearing glasses, walking in with a teacup in hand.

He looked at his daughter, thought for a moment, and finally said softly, "Zhiqiu, your sister-in-law told me about you. Don't blame your sister-in-law. I asked her to tell you. Dad has seen your situation during this period. There are some things I didn't want to say, but you...ah!"

Xia Jianguo sighed and said, "Dad doesn't want to say anything else. I just want to tell you one thing. Regret is the norm in life, and people should not only accept regrets but also learn to let go. If you can't get it, it means it doesn't belong to you. Instead of being hard on yourself, why not just let it go and go eat something! I'll ask your mom to heat up the chicken soup. You can have a few bites and then put down your chopsticks. No matter how sad you are, you can't treat yourself like this. You have to take care of yourself first and then think about other things. As for Zhang You, let him move on!"
