My wife is in my arms

Chapter 96 Melancholy

The sky did not clear up for several days after the heavy rain.

The chilly wind made the already withered banyan tree leaves look even more desolate, just like the scene after every late autumn.

The fallen leaves were picked up by the wind and dragged on the ground twice, making a "squeak...squeak" sound similar to the sound of fingertips scratching across a blackboard when reading, and then soon after were thrown into the distance.

now.

This was the scene that caught Xia Zhiqiu's eyes.

Howling wind.

Fallen leaves and pedestrians walking on the streets are the same as usual. If there is any difference, it is that after the heavy rain in the past two days, many people have changed from autumn clothes to down jackets.

She quietly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the piano in the middle of the store. Li Zongsheng had not been here in the past two days. It seemed that their only interaction ended in the musical instrument store she opened.

If he didn't come, she wouldn't be able to get any information about him. She didn't even have the contact information she sent a message to ask for. After receiving several payments, she only saw the payment name "Forever Eighteen", a humorous name that seemed to possess eternal youth. There was no phone number or anything like that added to the name.

But Li Zongsheng did not come.

There has been a person who frequently appears in the store these two days. She is the woman who appeared with Director Han that day. The day before yesterday, the two chatted for a while, and Xia Zhiqiu knew her name.

Chen Xue.

It's a very common name, but Xia Zhiqiu knows that even such an ordinary name cannot hide the person's extraordinaryness. After all, everyone has a social circle. The fact that Chen Xue knows Director Han and the two of them can go shopping together is enough to prove that the two of them are not strangers, or even very familiar with each other.

The first time she came, the woman bought a guzheng and also asked her for some information about Li Zongsheng. In response, Xia Zhiqiu only said that he was just a customer in the store and would occasionally come to record songs. She didn't know much else about him.

Come here for the second time.

The woman named Chen Xue bought a guitar. Xia Zhiqiu could see that she had no need to buy a guitar. She might have just thought it would be inappropriate to leave without buying one since she was already here, so she bought it.

This is the third time she has come here today. This time, Chen Xue is wearing an inner lining that looks like ink painting, and a plush coat of the same style on the outside.

Such trendy outfit made Xia Zhiqiu notice that there was a tattoo similar to leaf patterns just below her neckline. After noticing this detail, Xia Zhiqiu lost his initial enthusiasm. Not long ago, when Chen Xue spoke to her again, her attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as the previous two meetings.

There's nothing wrong with tattoos.

But there's nothing good about it.

If it were any other time, she might have shown the attitude that a boss should have, but it was obvious that they were targeting Li Zongsheng.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't know why she was looking for Li Zongsheng.

Anyway...it shouldn't be a good thing, especially for a woman who gets a tattoo in that place.

The howling sound of the wind outside the store gradually grew louder, and one could see the hair of many pedestrians outside being blown high up. Some of the thinner people were even forced to take a step back before moving forward.

The change of seasons, while natural, also brings with it unexpected discomfort.

Last month, we could still wear short sleeves at noon, and before we could feel the chill of late autumn too deeply, winter came.

Pulling out her phone and checking it, it was already three in the afternoon. Chen Xue turned around and asked, "Teacher Li Zongsheng's time of coming here is not fixed!?" Seeing Xia Zhiqiu nodded, Chen Xue did not ask any more questions. She just pointed at the store casually and said, "How much money did you invest in this store? Haha, if you don't want to tell me, forget it, but I think... You also have a recording studio here! It must cost several million."

"almost"

Xia Zhiqiu gave an ambiguous answer, then she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think he will come over for a while."

"Why? Doesn't he compose music?" Chen Xue seemed to realize that her words were a bit redundant and nodded with a smile. "Okay! That's true. Music composers only come out to compose music when they get a job. Otherwise, they like to stay in their comfort zone. What does Li Zongsheng like... Does he like watching movies? Sorry, I forgot you're not very familiar with him."

"It shouldn't be that difficult to find him! Just ask Director Han. I'm sure she's worked with Li Zongsheng before, so she should have her contact information."

Xia Zhiqiu gave his own suggestions.

"Han Wei doesn't have Li Zongsheng's phone number. The copyright of the song 'Streets Where the Wind Lives' is in the hands of Jiang Yiren's husband. It's quite strange, but I want to get Jiang Yiren's husband's number. I called him yesterday specifically to get Li Zongsheng's contact information from him."

Chen Xue said.

“That should be fine.”

Thinking of the relationship between Jiang Yiren’s husband and Li Zongsheng, Xia Zhiqiu replied.

"something wrong"

Chen Xue looked at Xia Zhiqiu and said, "It's a serious problem. Jiang Yiren's husband asked me to see a neurosurgeon."

"..."

Xia Zhiqiu didn't know what to say. As expected, Jiang Yiren's husband was just as the rumors said. He not only liked gambling but also had a very bad temper. The other person just wanted to get his brother's contact information through him, but he actually called the other person a lunatic.

They are brothers...why is there such a big gap between them?

After thinking about it, Xia Zhiqiu soon knew the answer.

The adoptive parents of Mr. Li Zongsheng, who was given away, were both musicians, so Mr. Li Zongsheng was not only influenced by music, but also received a good education. This is why even though he looks very similar to Jiang Yiren's husband, there is still a huge difference in their personality.

One is a domestic violence man.

The other one is as gentle as jade.

"Isn't it funny? I think it's quite funny too. If he doesn't give it to me, then he doesn't give it to me, and he even curses me... When Han Wei gave me Jiang Yiren's husband's phone number, he reminded me that he was difficult to deal with. I thought he was joking, but it turns out he's not difficult to deal with, but mentally ill. Even so, he didn't allow me to hang up the phone and made me continue to listen to him scolding me. I really don't know how Jiang Yiren endured it!?"

Chen Xue sighed.

"..."

Xia Zhiqiu didn't know how to answer.

In the past, she might have stood on the same front and criticized Jiang Yiren's husband, but because of her relationship with Li Zongsheng, no matter how problematic Jiang Yiren's husband's personality was or how hot his temper was, she couldn't say anything. After all, Li Zongsheng was able to give the copyright of the song to his brother, which undoubtedly proved that Li Zongsheng still valued the relationship between him and his brother.

Knowing that his brother is a gambler, he still helps him without hesitation... Mr. Li Zongsheng's character is really beyond reproach.

That gambler has really good luck.

Have a wife like Jiang Yiren.

And there is a younger brother like Mr. Li Zongsheng, who feels like he has been kissed on the cheek by God, but it is just me...

immediately.

Xia Zhiqiu's originally calm eyes suddenly blinked, and then like the stars in the night sky, they became bright in that instant.
