My wife is in my arms

Chapter 968 Date
Just as Han Hui and Jiang Yiren were discussing the free release of Liu Fei's "Gentle Breeze and Drizzle".

In a small town called Bruce, far away overseas, it was just past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the sun, like the yolk of a soft-boiled egg, was shining on the sky above the town.

Unlike staying at home all day in the country.

Liu Fei, wearing a sun hat, walked slowly down the street without any cover, carrying a bag containing some vegetables she had bought from the supermarket.

I've been abroad for three or four days now.

Unlike her previous visits abroad, this time she was in a state of mind that she couldn't quite explain.

She lived not far from here; it only took about ten minutes to walk there. As she passed a sculpture, Liu Fei saw people feeding pigeons.

Last year, whenever she came over, she would buy some to feed the animals, but this year she really hasn't shown any interest.

Back home, she, who rarely cooks in China, took the initiative to go into the kitchen. She bought some vegetables and fruits, first washing the fruits and arranging them in a fruit bowl, then putting them in the refrigerator before starting to get busy.

Just like in China, it's summer here now, but it's not as hot as in China. The outdoor temperature has been hovering around 31 or 32 degrees Celsius.

Her cooking method is quite simple; she only uses a little oil and not much salt. After preparing two vegetarian dishes, she scalded a few lettuce leaves with boiling water and started eating.

Because the time I stay here each year is not fixed and the stay is not very long, I don't have any housekeepers except for a Filipino maid who comes to clean every week.

Even Liu Fei herself didn't know how long she would stay here. After eating and washing the dishes, she took her pajamas and went into the bathroom. In China, she is the queen of pop, Liu Fei, but here... not many people could recognize her.

However, one thing surprised her quite a bit.

That is Zhang You's cover of his wife's "She," which seems to be very popular with foreign fans. During her few days here, she met several people who listened to this song, and some young people who play street dance also use "Please Cha Cha," which Zhang You created to complete the theme song "Dance Music," as accompaniment.

That's why it felt both familiar and strange to her.

Familiarity felt like something pressing down on her… Thinking of this, Liu Fei, who was taking a shower, suddenly had a flicker in her eyes, which were as clear as a gentle breeze and a bright moon. Strangeness, on the other hand, felt like the distance between China and foreign countries.

After taking a shower, Liu Fei washed her underwear by hand, and threw her pants and coat into the laundry room. Then she mopped the floor before sitting on the sofa and picking up the lyrics from the coffee table to read.

This is what she wrote down over the past two days based on her vague memories.

She only remembered a few lines of that song, and hadn't even asked for the song title.

Liu Fei picked up her pen and started writing as she recalled the events, but she gave up after only a few words.

She wasn't sure what others were going through, but she certainly couldn't write down the complete lyrics of a song she'd only heard once. After sitting on the sofa for a while, Liu Fei picked up the guitar she'd brought from China and gently plucked the strings. But after just two plucks, she put it down. Just like the lyrics, she hadn't memorized the melody either.

That afternoon, the only thing she could clearly remember was that after Zhang You finished singing a Cantonese song with his guitar, she inexplicably leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Subsequently.

The two had sex in her karaoke room, and... more than once.

Compared to the fast pace of city life in China, where even staying at home allows you to feel the city's rhythm, everything here seems to slow down.

Old-fashioned cars drove slowly through the small town, bicycles with shopping baskets strolled leisurely through the streets, and even the sunset seemed to drag on. Tonight, the song "Gentle Breeze and Drizzle" that Zhang You sold her should be released online—a kind of compensation to her fans! Zhang You's image flashed through Liu Fei's mind again, and her gaze at the television was somewhat lost.

She believed that Zhang You must have seen her pain and...

But after he and she tidied up the room, he leaned back on the sofa without saying a word. Liu Fei had no idea what he was thinking at that moment.

I wonder if she had any other thoughts after learning about her departure!

Liu Fei wanted to understand some of these things, but she also knew that some questions were not worth exploring the answers to.

Because certain facts cannot be changed, especially people's reactions after seeing her... already explain the situation.

As the last rays of sunlight faded away, the living room grew somewhat dark. Liu Fei got up and turned on the light. She glanced at the time; it was only seven o'clock.

After staying at home for a while, Liu Fei went back to her room to change her clothes and headed towards one of the few cinemas in the town that offered entertainment. Back in China, although her agent and Han Hui were a bit of a gossip, time never seemed so hard to pass. But being alone in this small town in a foreign country did feel a bit lonely.

Since there was no cola or popcorn, she bought a bottle of mineral water.

She entered the cinema around 7:30 and returned around 9:30 after watching an art film. She was quite looking forward to watching "Ta Ya," starring Zhang You, a film that was heavily criticized by moviegoers in China.

Even her agent said, "It's not vegetarian, but it's not really meaty either." However, she didn't have a strong desire to watch it at the time, so she didn't watch it. But tonight, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to watch it.

It’s a pity that I can’t see it.

back home.

Liu Fei took another shower before turning around and going back to her room to lean against the headboard.

The revenue sharing from her concert has been finalized. Because the brand sponsors generated a lot of income, she earned a considerable sum from this concert.

After scrolling through foreign short videos for a while and finding nothing interesting, Liu Fei opened the weather forecast, intending to see if tomorrow's weather was suitable for a long trip. However, when she saw the calendar, her expression subtly shifted, and the emotions deep in her eyes gradually intensified in an instant.

Fortunately, as she gently shook her head, her gaze gradually returned to normal.

He reached out and turned off the room lights.

As the room plunged into darkness, faint voices could be heard.

"impossible"

The voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

Time passed slowly. Liu Fei, lying in bed, turned over once, then over again, until she had tossed and turned several times. She reached out and turned on the light, then picked up her phone to check the date.

This time she looked at it for a very long time, as if she could see something unusual in the date.
