Kunming, Green Lake.

Luo Yun, as always, came to her café on time at 12 noon every day.

Before the official opening of the door, it is necessary to sweep, mop, scrub, and prepare materials.

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

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

Everything was ready, and at half past 12, the café officially opened its doors.

Today is not the weekend, so there are not many customers in the café, so Luo Yun just sat in the bar and stared blankly at the peach tree planted at the door outside.

The peach blossoms are blooming, and they are 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 his side face clearly, but there was a familiar feeling.

The moment the man was about to walk through the door, he seemed to sense something, turned his head to look inside the café, and suddenly stopped.

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

Yu Dongqing!

"Are you alright?" Yu Dongqing asked softly.

"It's okay, you."

"It's fine."

The two suddenly fell silent, and just looked at each other.

Yu Dongqing looked at the strange and familiar woman in front of her, and didn't know where to start with a thousand words.

"Do you drink coffee, sir? Please sit here. "There was a waiter next to him who did his duty faithfully.

Luo Yun woke up from a certain panic, and immediately returned to her usual generosity and decency, and looked at Yu Dongqing with a smile: "I only have coffee here, if I don't have tea, why don't I make you a cup of coffee?" ”

"Feel free."

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

It's been almost ten years, right?

I didn't expect to meet in this form.

Luo Yun brewed a cup of pour-over coffee, put it on Yu Dongqing's table, and sat opposite him.

"This is my specialty latte, how about you try it?"

Yu Dongqing stirred lightly, took a sip of the coffee cup, and praised it: "Well, it really tastes good, there is a very special fragrance in it, hazelnut latte?" I see the sign at your door says. ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Yun looked at him with a smile on his face, "You lie, in fact, this is just an ordinary latte. You still won't drink coffee. ”

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed when he heard it.

To be honest, whether it is Luo Yun or Mingmei, they are more interested in coffee, but he just doesn't have a cold, and he can't tell what mocha, latte, or cappuccino is.

But this little joke made the sense of alienation between the two disappear a lot after a long absence.

"How did you come here?"

"I'm here to hold a concert in Kunming, and I'm bored after eating today, but 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 with a little girl.

The little girl is the same age as her son, with two pigtails very cute, and the man is the same age as herself, thin with a pair of glasses, like a teacher or a 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 a teacher of Yunda." After speaking, he pointed to the little girl: "This is my daughter, whose nickname is Yaya." ”

Daughter?!

Yu Dongqing looked at Luo Yun in surprise.

Luo Yun didn't seem to see it, and introduced Yu Dongqing to her husband, but when she opened her mouth, she heard Gu Yaozhou smile heartily: "Luo Yun, no need to introduce, I know, Mr. Yu Dongqing, the lead singer of the famous Qingmangshu Band!" Welcome, to our café. ”

"When we were in Yanjing, we met." Luo Yun added.

The two men shook hands and greeted each other, but Yu Dongqing's eyes were aimed at the cute little girl, who was looking at Yu Dongqing curiously.

Finally, Yu Dongqing couldn't help it, and asked Luo Yun again: "Is she your biological daughter?" ”

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

I see!

Yu Dongqing suddenly understood, and sighed softly.

At this time, the little girl looked at Yu Dongqing, her eyes were very curious, and she suddenly gestured with her hand, and Luo Yun hurriedly followed suit.

Deaf-mute?!

"She's greeting you and saying hello to your uncle." Luo Yun said in a low voice.

"Yaya, hello." Yu Dongqing hurriedly bent down and greeted with a smile.

Luo Yun gestured twice, and the little girl smiled sweetly.

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

Looking at the little girl who was pulled away by her father, playing by the bar, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but ask 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 talked to my husband about adopting one. Originally, the staff of the orphanage let us 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, sitting alone on the side, looking at us with envy. “

"Later, I asked the staff, and I found out that it was congenital deafness, and her parents abandoned her shortly after giving birth to her, and later she was picked up and sent to an orphanage, I listened to it and was very sympathetic and decided to adopt her, and my husband was also very supportive of me."

"Actually. Yaya is a very smart child and very well-behaved, and my husband and I like it very much. Luo Yun finally said.

"You and your husband are kind people." Yu Dongqing admired from the bottom of her heart.

Suddenly he thought of something: "You can implant a cochlear implant for Yaya, it is possible to restore hearing!" ”

"I've discussed this with my husband, and he has been contacting the hospital doctor recently to prepare for the operation." Luo Yun replied.

"Come to Yanjing, after all, the level of doctors in Yanjing's hospitals is higher, so it is safer and more reliable." Yu Dongqing suggested.

"This. I discussed with my husband and I would come if necessary. ”

"When you come to Yanjing, you must contact me! I'm going to find the best doctor for Yaya! ”

Luo Yun looked at him and nodded slightly.

Looking at the woman in front of him who had been with him day and night, Yu Dongqing's originally calm heart suddenly made waves again.

"Luo Yun, can we go out for a walk?"

Luo Yun hesitated, but still stood up and walked to his husband again, whispered a few words, kissed his daughter's little face, and then walked out of the coffee house.

Yu Dongqing said hello and walked out.

Not far from the outside is the green lake, with green trees and blue sky, and the spring breeze is rippling.

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

In the end, it was Luo Yun who broke the silence: "How is Tongtong now?" ”

"Tongtong went to the high school attached to the music academy in junior high school and high school, and after graduation, she went to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, and now she is a pianist in the Boston Wind Ensemble.

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

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

Looking at this quiet and beautiful girl, Luo Yun suddenly remembered that Yu Tongtong jumped up and down like a little monkey when she was a child, especially the time when she took her to Happy Valley to play alone, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

"Tongtong has become a big girl."

"yes. We're old. Yu Dongqing said and glanced at Luo Yun again.

It's still so beautiful, but there are already wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

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

"Luo Yun, you don't say goodbye, I have been to Kunming to look for you but I haven't found you." Yu Dongqing said.

Luo Yun smiled silently.

She believed that he would come to him.

"Luo Yun, you didn't have to do this at all! What about not being able to have children? Don't we already have Tongtong? If you still like children, we can also adopt one and call you Mom, just like Yaya! ”

Yu Dongqing suddenly became excited.

"How stupid are you?!"

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

Luo Yun stopped and looked at him.

"Actually, isn't that good? Mingmei loves you very much, right? Aren't you living a very happy life? Isn't it nice to hear on the Internet that you have a cute child again?! ”

"But."

Yu Dongqing wanted to explain further, but was stopped by Luo Yun: "There is nothing but, it has nothing to do with right and wrong, it has passed, you can also see, my life is very good, my husband loves me very much, you and I are living very well, isn't this the best ending?!" ”

Oh, yes

For Mingmei, for his current family, Yu Dongqing really has nothing to be faulted with.

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

"Alright, Holly, it's time for me to go back, the store is starting to get busy." Luo Yun said softly.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Luo Yun turned around and walked in the direction of the coffee shop, walking faster and faster, seeing that his back disappeared, Yu Dongqing shouted.

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

Luo Yun's footsteps stopped, but he didn't look back.

On March 24th, the last concert of the Qingmangzu Band kicked off at Kunming Tuodong Stadium, and in the cheers of 40,000 fans, Yu Dongqing sang one song after another, sharing his efforts.

"Love Song 1980", "Love Song 1990", "Youth Brocade". also sang a Cantonese song "The Love of My Life".

If you are stupid and wait for a certain day

Finally, I can wait until the love of my life

Who minds if you and I are in this relationship

Every time I run into an accident

The future is not clear

He was willing to be loved by my heart

Yu Dongqing was singing on stage, and he suddenly remembered that Luo Yun once said that although she didn't like to listen to Cantonese songs very much, she only liked this one.

The love of my life.

After singing this song, Yu Dongqing wiped the sweat on his face, looked at the black crowd with a guitar, and said: "Today, I want to sing the last song, I hope you like it." ”

The prelude sounded.

Yu Dongqing sorted out the headset and looked at the crowd of black pressure below, trying to find something.

But they couldn't see anything.

She's somewhere in the venue, right?

Probably not.

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

I used to really think that life was like this

A calm heart refuses to have another wave

The love thread that has been cut a thousand times can't be broken

It surrounds me with a thousand turns

Someone asked me what the hell is good about you

I can't forget it after all these years

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

Those who haven't seen you won't understand

Li Zongsheng's "Ghost Lost Heart".

Stendhal once wrote in his "The Red and the Black":

"There is a grave in every man's heart for burying those he loves."

Yes.
