Who is my wife? Faced with Lina's question, I could only smile lightly. Who is my wife, in the 21st century, I don't have a choice. But back in the early 90s, I didn't have a choice. Life is like this, at first you think you have endless choices, you feel that life has infinite possibilities. But as time goes on, you will feel more and more tired and less willing to make choices and just follow the ready-made path that God has given you. As you walk, you will understand that you basically have no choice.

Is this a form of maturity?

"I don't know." I said, "I don't know if there is any other woman who can be my wife besides the girl named Bao Lina." ”

I say this sincerely, in fact, can I have a second choice other than Lina, who becomes my only choice?

When Bao Lina heard this, she hugged me and said, "I love you, Zhou Xu." But I'm so worried about you, I'm always afraid of something, but when I think about it, I can't tell what I'm afraid of. ”

"What else is there to worry about. We have such a small company and a lot of real estate, wow, if we travel to the Ming Dynasty, we can be considered a big family. I said triumphantly.

"Crossing? Are you talking about time travel? I thought you were going to write science fiction. ”

"No, if I want to write science fiction, I will only write such an article, which is "A Man from the Future". ”

Bao Lina smiled happily, this time she was not disgusted with me mentioning the future.

She said, "Okay, great poet, great talent, great entrepreneur, you are from the future, I am from the bottom of the Atlantic, we are just a good match, right?"

"Oops," she suddenly called, "I almost forgot, Cai Xiaohong called, and I forgot to tell you." ”

I asked, "Cai Xiaohong?" Who do you say she called?"

Bao Lina grinned, "Do you really want her to call you?"

I said, "Whereever, if you are a woman from a good family, you won't call me, a pervert." ”

Bao Lina pulled down her face and said, "What do you mean, I'm not a woman from a good family, am I?" ”

I hurriedly said, "How dare you, you are clear and jade, and you will not be stained by my mud." ”

Bao Lina said: "To be serious, Cai Xiaohong is really famous this time, and it is impossible for you to have a crooked brain." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, she called and said she was getting married, just at the end of next month. Let's go and have a wedding drink!"

"Ah, that's fast."

"What's so fast?"

"I mean, time is so fast, in the blink of an eye, Cai Xiaohong has reached the age of marriage. It's not easy for her and Guo Ming, four years of long-distance love. I said, and suddenly remembered that in that small community hospital, I accompanied Bao Lina, and when I saw Guo Ming at that time, I had an indescribable feeling. Later, I learned that Guo Ming was madly in love with Cai Xiaohong, and there was a faint feeling of destinedness.

"We've been running for four years." Bao Lina said with a smile.

I kissed her on the cheek and said, "Well, ever since I hit me and threw you off the bike, I knew you'd fall into my hands sooner or later." ”

"Hmph, you're so affectionate, didn't you have a hot fight with Li Yun at that time? I still remember that you came to see me with Li Yun and brought a bottle of Longyou chili pepper. ”

"Are you still jealous?"

"I don't like to be jealous, I like to eat spicy things, so I like to eat that bottle of Longyou chili sauce. It's just—" Speaking of which, Bao Lina sighed, "I can't eat the chili sauce that Li Yun gave me anymore." ”

My face suddenly didn't look good, and I didn't want to remember Li Yun anymore, especially after passing by that pond.

"What's the matter, aren't you a little sad?" Bao Lina looked me in the eye and said.

I said, "Not really, right?" I just remembered that we ran Wenxin Book House together. ”

Bao Lina was silent for a while and said, "Play me a guitar tune." ”

I said, "I'll just play that romance of love." ”

"You've played it 100,000 times, don't listen to it, change it." Lina said coquettishly.

At this time, we were sitting on the sofa in the Bao Mansion, and the light in the room was particularly gentle. Outside the window, the street lamp has been lit, and the yellow halo of the street lamp shrouds the sycamore branches outside the window, which is as soft as a fairy tale.

I looked at the slightly withered sycamore leaves that had fallen to the window, thinking that these green leaves might be the last green leaves of the year, and that it would not be long before they would change color, wither, and disappear from this world.

I suddenly said, "I'll play you a song called "Green Sleeves." ”

"Green Sleeves? Is it the English folk song?"

"Yes, Zhou Xu played it to me once that day, and he said that this song is good, but it is too sad, and he rarely plays it, and it seems that every time he plays it, he will feel more sad in his heart. He said that this song would make people get stuck in it and not be able to pull it out. I have heard that this piece was written by King Henry VIII of England, and I dedicate it to you, my dear queen. ”

With that, I kissed Lina again.

"It's a pity that I don't wear green clothes, I don't have green sleeves." Lina said softly, but there was a joy and longing in her tone.

I picked up my guitar and tried to play the "Green Sleeves", which I said looked simple, just a few melodies, but the technical requirements were quite high.

I tried to warm up by playing a chord first, and found that my fingers were quite flexible, and it seems that the apprenticeship in the past few months has not been in vain.

Bao Lina stroked my fingers and said, "Your fingers are the most beautiful part of your body, they are so long and thin, like a girl's fingers." ”

I pretended to be unhappy and said, "You can't talk nonsense, have you seen my whole body?"

Bao Lina was so ashamed that she slapped me hard.

In the quiet Bao Mansion, facing the plane tree outside the window, I played the green sleeves, although some of the notes are still a little jerky, but I don't care, Lina doesn't care, the melody still unforgettable into our ears, as if we can understand how lonely and disappointed the person who wrote this song back then.

This kind of sadness is not heartbreaking, but it is endless, and it makes people fall into a depression that is difficult to escape. Zhou Xu is right, you can't play or listen to such a tune too much, you will fall into it.

Suddenly, I felt that as the tune went down, the lights seemed to get darker and darker.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole world had darkened. Then, all the light disappeared as if it had been taken away by an invisible hand.

What's wrong, what's wrong with me?

I asked myself, and then the familiar pain struck my head again, and darkness was in front of me. I only heard a cry from Bao Lina, close at hand, but it seemed to be far away in the sky.
