My wife is in my arms

Chapter 494 You came... Five
The moon outside the window wasn't very bright, and it was half-hidden by clouds, making the night somewhat hazy.

On city roads.

Vehicles continue to come and go, each heading towards its own life trajectory. Each one may seem insignificant in the vast sea of ​​people, but in reality, this seemingly insignificant little figure is incredibly important in their own lives.

His parents could only sleep peacefully when they heard him open the door.

His wife watched TV while waiting for him to come home. Their child was already fast asleep, but because he had bought a new pair of running shoes with the money he had worked so hard to earn, the child was looking forward to tomorrow so he could wear those shoes in front of his classmates.

That's life.

Everyone has their own direction in life and different paths in life, but they all live in a circle that is fixed by a compass. All their hard work is for the sake of making their own little circle of family happy.

The lights came on, then went back off after a while.

In a residential building in the city, Chen Ziming, dressed in pajamas, had been awakened by a phone call from Zhang You not long ago and had not been able to sleep since.

now.

She leaned against the headboard, holding her phone and watching two songs that Zhang You had sent her.

After helping Zhongxia get into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, even though she didn't urge Zhang You, she was always looking forward to him giving her the songs as soon as possible. However, she also knew that good songs usually require hearing something in a specific situation or encountering something to inspire creative inspiration. Only in this way can the songs created be heard by others.

So she didn't mention it, only hoping that he wouldn't forget about it.

however.

The song came so quickly...like a tornado.

It hadn't been long before Zhang You gave her the songs, and moreover, he gave her two of them. This undoubtedly made Chen Ziming a little worried, since she had heard some rumors about him.

It's not about domestic violence, which is nothing new, but something else entirely. It's that this guy likes to export things and then re-import them back into the domestic market.

To put it simply, this guy likes to exaggerate the merits of low-quality songs and then sell them at high prices, even though these songs are actually songs that his wife, Jiang Yiren, doesn't approve of.

Chen Ziming was worried that this guy would play the same trick on her.

then.

Zhang Yougang sent her the song, and she immediately got out of bed to watch it, abandoning her sleep.

The first song was called "Lingering Fragrance." After reading the entire lyrics, Chen Ziming's expression changed.

She had read Zhang You's "Question" and the lyrics of "When Love Has Become the Past". To be honest, the lyrics of this song are not as simple as the other two. The seemingly simple lyrics often contain highly condensed emotional experiences and life insights.

"Lingering Fragrance" is more like a modern poem.

"Quickly brush off the dust, lest it tarnish your eyes. Perhaps you've already forgotten me in your laughter and conversation, while I've weathered many storms and my face is etched with the marks of time. Longing needs time to heal..."

These sentences seem like a tribute to past relationships.

The lyrics that follow evoke a sense of heartache and reluctance when revisited many years later, but more than that, a sense of relief. It's as if the feelings one held onto in the past have, under the influence of time, transformed into petals that once fell into the palm of one's hand, ultimately becoming a lingering fragrance that can only remain in the heart.

Wait until you finish reading.

Chen Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully... this song doesn't really look like a song that was exported and then re-imported domestically.

I watched another song.

Upon seeing the song title, Chen Ziming sighed inwardly.

It must be admitted that Zhang You's talent in songwriting is truly unique. Even when he comes up with a song title, before he's even looked at the lyrics, it evokes a sense of melancholy. "Time, Please Slow Down"

Such a song title directly expresses the感慨 about time and the appreciation for life, as well as the helplessness and reluctance to let time slip away quietly.

Chen Ziming's feelings weren't due to the fact that these two songs were written by Zhang You, but rather because the song titles themselves, without needing further explanation, directly pointed to the core message the lyricist wanted to convey.

Chen Ziming looked at it very carefully.

As she read, she muttered the words aloud.

"Those who suffer from insomnia, are you alright? What are you going through? Who cares about you? Are you as lost and confused as I am, still struggling in the darkness..."

Looking at it bit by bit, the beginning seemed pretty ordinary, until the song title appeared in the lyrics. Chen Ziming subconsciously started singing a cappella, saying, "I said, time, please slow down, some memories linger in my heart, let me wave goodbye to the years one last time..."

After watching all of them, Chen Ziming clicked on "Lingering Fragrance" and watched it again. Then... she switched between the two songs, and as time went by, she still hadn't made a choice.

She liked both "Lingering Fragrance" and "Time, Slow Down".

Perhaps she has been developing in the music industry for several years and her family has invested so much resources but still failed to make her famous, but that does not prevent her from having a keen insight into the quality of songs.

Like many readers, I may not be able to write a good book or even a good essay, but that doesn't mean I don't know what books are good or bad.

Unlike the average reader.

Chen Ziming is also a music teacher at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Therefore, she is even better at judging whether a song is good or bad than most singers.

After swaying back and forth for a while, Chen Ziming's eyes flickered. To be honest, if Zhang You only gave her one song, she would sing it, but giving her two songs to choose from... how was she supposed to choose?

She liked both songs very much.

However, Chen Ziming was too shy to take it all for herself, but if she had to give up a song... she couldn't bear to.

If she hadn't seen it, that would have been fine. But now that she has, what if the song she chose doesn't become a hit, and Zhang You sells another one, which becomes a hit with another singer? She'll regret it to the core.

After pondering for a while, Chen Ziming quietly pursed his lips and then made a phone call.

soon.

The call was connected.

Her mother's voice came from the other end, saying, "Zimo, why are you calling me so late at night instead of sleeping! I've told you before not to call me at night unless it's something really important. My old-fashioned phone is super loud, and with you calling like this, how can I possibly sleep?"

Something's up.

After her mother finished complaining, Chen Ziming quickly said, "Mom, Zhang You sent me two songs. He asked me to choose one, and I really like both of them. What should I do?!"

When in doubt, always ask your mother first.

This is Chen Ziming's consistent policy, and Chen Ziming believes that with her mother's involvement, Zhang You will definitely be embarrassed to refuse, and even if he asks for money... he certainly won't charge such a high amount.

Even if Zhang Hao is willing to take it, his mother will definitely try to negotiate the price with him.

Anyway.

Chen Ziming wanted the song, but didn't want to pay... 3.5 million.
