Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Not only is this a famous tourist spot in the city, but there are also many cafes nearby.

Here, you can encounter a coffee shop every 50 meters walking. People are here leisurely. The air seems to be filled with the smell of coffee. The atmosphere is deep but light, and it is a pleasure to waste time.

A cafe called Grapefruit Cafe opened half a year ago. The store is not big, but it is full of Chinese flavor. The overall color is bamboo green, which makes people feel like they are in a bamboo forest, giving them a calm and cozy feeling.

Gu Yaozhou likes coming here very much.

He is a professor at the School of Liberal Arts of Yunnan University. He is widowed in his early 40s and has no children. He is alone in Kunming, so he has a lot of spare time.

The coffee here is basically hand-brewed. Although it is more expensive, it is genuine and tastes delicious. His favorite drink is hazelnut latte.

The latte is silky smooth, blended with a subtle milky aroma, and slowly falls towards the throat, making it almost difficult to catch. The taste is soft and soft, without any impact, and the moisturizing effect is silent. It always reminds people of the current season.

And of course the pretty boss lady.

Gu Yaozhou would not presume to inquire about someone's age. It looked like he was no more than 35 years old. He had long hair like a waterfall and was very capable in doing things. He always had a light smile on his face, which was peaceful and distant.

The landlady seems to be single and has never seen a man or child come to her.

This made him curious.

After class this morning, he walked out of the school gate without having anything to do, and unknowingly came here again. The cafe was very clean, and a Cantonese song was playing on the speaker:

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.

Gu Yaozhou heard it.

This Cantonese song is sung by a singer named Yu Dongqing.

He doesn't understand Cantonese, so he can't understand the lyrics, but the melody is melodious and affectionate.

This cafe often plays songs sung by this singer, especially this song "The Love in My Life". Gu Yaozhou has listened to it here many times.

The proprietress is sitting alone at the bar listening to music in a daze. Today she is wearing a plain white modified cheongsam, which makes her look even more charming.

Seeing that there were not many people in the cafe, Gu Yaozhou held a coffee cup and mustered up the courage to stand at the bar and strike up a conversation: "Madam boss, do you like to listen to Cantonese songs?"

Seeing someone talking, the landlady came back to her senses, nodded, and then suddenly shook her head.

What's the meaning?

Gu Yaozhou's mind turned quickly and he understood immediately.

"I understand, you like to listen to songs sung by the singer named Yu Dongqing, not Cantonese songs." Gu Yaozhou smiled.

Um?

The landlady looked at him.

This thin, gentle man wearing glasses often frequents coffee shops. He seems to be a professor at Yunda University.

This is relatively close to Yunda University, so teachers and students often come here, but this man comes a little frequently.

Of course, as a woman in her thirties, she was no longer a little girl who didn't understand anything. She could still see some of this man's carefully hidden thoughts.

But, nothing.

There were no excessive words or actions from the other party, and everything was fine for everyone.

Now that she heard the man talking about this, the lady boss smiled and said, "I prefer to listen to his songs."

"I like listening to it too." Gu Yaozhou felt like he had found a topic:

"But compared to the Cantonese he sings, I prefer the folk songs he sings. I don't know much about composing the music, but I teach Chinese, and his lyrics are very well written. Different from ordinary folk songs, his lyrics are full of poetry and humanity. The spirit, like "Story of Time", "Love Song 1990" and "Pearl of the Orient", is sometimes more like a poet."

"Poet?" the landlady smiled.

The smile is beautiful.

She held her chin with her hands, seeming to be caught up in some kind of memory: "He is not like those so-called poets who lament spring and autumn. He is a very ordinary and ordinary man, with a bit of fun and a very kind person."

Such a great singer is actually an ordinary man?

Gu Yaozhou didn't believe it.

A kinder man?

This comment about the boss lady surprised her even more.

The tone of his voice seemed to be talking about an old friend.

It’s rare to hear such comments about men these days.

"Do you know him very well?" Gu Yaozhou asked in a tentative tone.

This time, the landlady didn't answer, still immersed in memories.

The landlady spoke very little, and there was a faint hint of repulsion in her words.

But Gu Yaozhou still wanted to continue chatting.

He suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, there is a big news about Yu Dongqing reported on the Internet today."

"Um?"

The landlady looked at him.

Of course he is not a star-chasing man, but he accidentally saw this news while browsing his phone today and remembered it, but he didn't expect to use it.

"It is said on the Internet that Yu Dongqing is married to his sister-in-law. They are getting married today. Someone posted a video of their wedding on Douyin."

The landlady was shocked, and quickly opened her mobile phone to find such videos. There were many, and she clicked on one at random.

The video was taken in front of the hotel.

In the picture, guests are stepping on balloons to express their blessings, and Yu Dongqing, who is wearing a black suit, is walking towards the door holding Meili in a wedding dress.

The groom is handsome and handsome

The bride is bright and moving

The landlady looked at it with a faint smile on her face.

"Do you think they are a good match?" the landlady suddenly asked.

Gu Yaozhou hesitated for a moment and then said: "Some people on the Internet said that the age difference between the two of them is too big, and Yu Dongqing is an old cow eating young grass."

"Also, saying that marrying your own sister-in-law is morally flawed."

"Then you, what do you think?" The landlady looked at him.

"I don't think it's a big deal, as long as the two of them really love each other, and from the video, they look like a perfect match."

The landlady smiled again.

"Yes. They are indeed a perfect match. They are really a couple." The proprietress looked at the video again: "I wish them a long life together and love each other for a lifetime."

"Haha, boss lady, you are indeed a fan of Yu Dongqing, and a big fan at that." Gu Yaozhou said.

"I'm not." Unexpectedly, the landlady shook her head. "He never regards himself as a star, so naturally I will not be his fan."

"But I heard that he has quite a lot of fans."

"If he is willing, he will have more fans." The proprietress said, and suddenly came back to her senses: "I'm sorry, why are I talking to you about this? How does the coffee taste? Please give me more opinions."

"It tastes good." Gu Yaozhou quickly replied: "Especially the hazelnut latte, I like it very much."

"Thanks."

Seeing the other party like this, Gu Yaozhou plucked up the courage and said, "My name is Gu Yaozhou, and I am a teacher at Yunda University. What is your surname?"

The landlady smiled and pointed to the business license hanging on the wall.

Only then did Gu Yaozhou notice this.

Operator’s name: Luo Yun.
