Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry - Chapter 582

c582 The last stop in Kunming (finale)

Kunming, Green Lake.

Luo Yun, as always, comes to her cafe on time at 12 noon every day.

Before officially opening the door, the floor must be swept, mopped, scrubbed, and materials prepared.

The coffee shop is not big, and Luo Yun only employs four employees, so she does a lot of things herself.

This cafe has been open for almost 10 years, and she has become accustomed to this ordinary life.

All preparations were done, and at 12:30, the cafe officially opened its doors to welcome customers.

Today is not a weekend, so there are not many customers in the cafe. Luo Yun is sitting at the bar, staring blankly at a peach tree planted outside the door.

The peach blossoms are in bloom, especially enchanting.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man passing by the door caught Luo Yun’s attention. The man was wearing a mask and couldn’t see clearly from the side, but he had a familiar feeling.

The moment the man was about to walk through the door, he seemed to feel something and turned his head to look inside the cafe, suddenly stopping.

After being stunned for a few seconds, as if confirming something, he strode in again. When he approached the bar, he looked at Luo Yun and slowly took off his mask.

Yu Dongqing!

“Are you okay?” Yu Dongqing asked gently.

“I am OK, you.”

“That’s fine.”

The two suddenly fell into silence, staring at each other.

Yu Dongqing looked at the strange yet familiar woman in front of her, and she had so many words to say that she didn’t know where to start.

“Sir, would you like some coffee? Please sit over here.” There is a waiter next to him who faithfully performs his duties.

Luo Yun woke up from some panic and immediately returned to her usual generous and decent manner. She smiled at Yu Dongqing and said, “I only have coffee here. There is no tea. How about I make you a cup of coffee?”

“Whatever.”

Yu Dongqing found a seat and sat down, watching Luo Yun busy at the bar.

It’s been almost ten years, right?

I didn’t expect to meet in this form.

Luo Yun made a cup of hand-brewed coffee, placed it on Yu Dongqing’s table, and sat across from him.

“This is my store’s specialty latte. How do you like it?”

Yu Dongqing stirred it gently, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, praising: “Well, it really tastes good. There is a very special fragrance in it, hazelnut latte? I saw it written on the sign at your door.”

Unexpectedly, Luo Yun still had a smile on her face and looked at him, “You’re lying. In fact, this is just an ordinary latte. You still don’t know how to drink coffee.”

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

To be honest, both Luo Yun and Mingliang are more interested in coffee, but he just doesn’t catch a cold and can’t tell the difference between mocha, latte and cappuccino.

But this little joke made the unfamiliar feeling between the two disappear a lot.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m here to hold a concert in Kunming. I was bored and walking around after dinner today. I didn’t expect to meet you.” Yu Dongqing explained.

He was about to ask about Luo Yun’s situation over the years, when he suddenly saw a man walking in pulling a little girl.

The little girl is about the same age as her son. She is very cute with two pigtails. The man is about the same age as her. He looks thin and wears glasses. He looks like a teacher or scholar.

Seeing the man pulling the little girl towards this side, Luo Yun immediately stood up and explained to each other with a smile.

“This is my husband, Gu Yaozhou, he is Teacher Yun Da.” After speaking, he pointed to the little girl: “This is my daughter, her nickname is Yaya.”

daughter? !

Yu Dongqing looked at Luo Yun in surprise.

Luo Yun didn’t seem to notice, and introduced Yu Dongqing to her husband, but when she opened her mouth, she heard Gu Yaozhou smile heartily: “Luo Yun, no introduction is needed, I know Mr. Yu Dongqing, the famous lead singer of Qingmanglu Band! Welcome to our cafe.”

“We knew each other when we were in Yanjing.” Luo Yun added.

The two men shook hands and exchanged greetings, but Yu Dongqing’s eyes were fixed on the cute little girl, who was looking at Yu Dongqing curiously.

Finally, Yu Dongqing couldn’t bear it anymore and asked Luo Yun: “Is she your biological daughter?”

“Oh, no, my husband and I brought it from the orphanage.” Luo Yun explained.

I see!

Yu Dongqing understood immediately and sighed softly.

At this time, the little girl looked at Yu Dongqing with curious eyes, and suddenly started making gestures with her hands, and Luo Yun quickly followed suit.

Deaf-mute? !

“She is greeting you and saying hello to uncle.” Luo Yun whispered.

“Hello Yaya.” Yu Dongqing hurriedly bent down and greeted with a smile.

Luo Yun made two more gestures, and the little girl smiled sweetly.

Gu Yaozhou, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to take his daughter away. He could see that his wife and Yu Dongqing were definitely not ordinary friends.

Seeing the little girl who was taken away by her father playing at the bar, Yu Dongqing couldn’t help but asked in a low voice: “Luo Yun, why did you adopt a deaf-mute girl?”

“You know, I can’t have children, but I like children, so I discussed adopting one with my husband. Originally, the staff at the orphanage asked us to adopt a healthy child, but that day my husband and I went to the orphanage and saw a little girl holding A dirty rag doll was sitting alone, looking at us enviously.”

“Later I asked the staff and found out that she was born deaf. Her parents abandoned her shortly after she was born. She was later picked up and sent to an orphanage. I felt very sympathetic after hearing this and decided to adopt her. My husband also supported her very much. I.”

“Actually, Yaya is a very smart child and very well-behaved. My husband and I like her very much.” Luo Yun finally said.

“You and your husband are both kind people.” Yu Dongqing admired from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly something occurred to him: “You can implant a cochlear implant into Yaya and possibly restore her hearing!”

“I have discussed this with my husband. He has been contacting the hospital doctors recently to prepare for the operation.” Luo Yun replied.

“Come to Yanjing. After all, the doctors in Yanjing’s hospitals should be of higher quality. This way they are safer and more reliable.” Yu Dongqing suggested.

“This. I will discuss it with my husband and I will come if necessary.”

“Be sure to contact me when you come to Yanjing! I will try to find the best doctor for Yaya!”

Luo Yun looked at him and nodded lightly.

Looking at the woman he had been with day and night in front of him, Yu Dongqing’s originally calm heart suddenly stirred up waves again.

“Luo Yun, can we go for a walk?”

Luo Yun hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and walked to her husband again, whispered a few words, kissed her daughter’s little face, and then walked out of the coffee shop.

Yu Dongqing said hello and walked out.

Not far outside is Green Lake, with green trees, blue sky, and rippling spring breeze.

The two walked side by side in silence, neither of them spoke.

Finally, Luo Yun broke the silence: “How is Tongtong now?”

“Tongtong attended the High School Affiliated to the Conservatory of Music in junior high and high school. After graduation, she went to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, USA. Now she is a pianist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra after graduation. I have a video of her playing. Take a look. ”

Yu Dongqing said as he took out his mobile phone and opened a video.

I saw a girl with shawl hair and a black evening dress sitting in front of the piano stand in the center of the stage, playing music seriously.

Looking at this quiet and beautiful girl, Luo Yun suddenly remembered Yu Tongtong jumping up and down like a little monkey when she was a child, especially when she took her to Happy Valley alone, and she couldn’t help but smile.

“Tongtong has become a big girl.”

“Yes. We are already old.” Yu Dongqing said and looked at Luo Yun again.

She is still so beautiful, but there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Luo Yun also looked at Yu Dongqing. His back was still straight, but there were a few strands of white hair on his temples.

“Luo Yun, you left without saying goodbye. I came to Kunming to look for you but couldn’t find you.” Yu Dongqing said.

Luo Yun smiled and said nothing.

She believed that he would come to him.

“Luo Yun, you didn’t have to do this at all! So what if you can’t have children? Don’t we already have Tongtong? If you still like children, at worst we can adopt one and call you mother, just like Yaya!”

Yu Dongqing suddenly became excited.

“Are you so stupid?!”

Yu Dongqing finally said this sentence after holding it back for almost ten years today.

Luo Yun stopped and looked at him.

“Actually, isn’t this good? Meili loves you very much, right? Aren’t you living a very happy life? I heard online that you have a lovely child again, isn’t this good?!”

“But.”

Yu Dongqing wanted to explain further, but was stopped by Luo Yun: “There is nothing wrong. It doesn’t matter whether right or wrong has passed. You can also see that my life is quite good. My husband also loves me very much. You and I are living a good life.” Great, isn’t this the best ending?!”

yes

Regarding Meili and his current family, Yu Dongqing really has nothing to fault.

Yu Dongqing wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, so in the end he had to sigh deeply.

“Okay, Dongqing, I should go back, the store is getting busy.” Luo Yun said softly.

“okay, bye.”

“goodbye.”

Luo Yun turned around and walked towards the coffee shop, walking faster and faster. When she saw her figure disappearing, Yu Dongqing shouted.

“Luo Yun, will you go to my concert the night after tomorrow?”

Luo Yun’s steps stopped for a moment, but she didn’t look back.

On March 24, the last concert of the Qingmanglu Band kicked off at Kunming Tuodong Stadium. Amid the cheers of 40,000 fans, Yu Dongqing sang one song after another, showing her outstanding performance.

“Love Song 1980”, “Love Song 1990”, “Young Jinshi”. He also sang a Cantonese song “Love in My Life”.

If you wait desperately for a certain day

Finally, I can wait for the love of my life

Who cares about this relationship between you and me?

Every time something unexpected happens

Not sure about the future

How could I ever wish for the love in my heart?

Yu Dongqing was singing on the stage, and he suddenly remembered that Luo Yun once said that although she didn’t really like listening to Cantonese songs, she only liked this one.

The love of my life.

After singing this song, Yu Dongqing wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the dark crowd with his guitar, and said: “Today, I will sing the last song. I hope everyone likes it.”

The prelude sounded.

Yu Dongqing adjusted the headset and looked at the dark crowd below, trying hard to find something.

But nothing can be seen.

Is she somewhere in the venue?

Maybe not.

At this time, after the prelude, Yu Dongqing sang:

I once really thought that life was like this

A calm heart refuses any more waves

The love thread that has been cut off a thousand times cannot be broken

It will surround me with all its twists and turns

Someone asked me where are you from?

I still can’t forget it after so many years

No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can’t compare to your smile

People who have never met you won’t understand

Li Zongsheng’s “The Ghostly Mind”.

Stendhal once wrote this sentence in his “Red and Black”:

“There is a grave deep in everyone’s heart, where they bury their loved ones.”

Yes.
