When I woke up, I lost my memory

Midsummer.

It had just rained heavily the day before, and the ground was still wet in the early morning, but when the sun gradually rose and the tables and chairs were placed, the dew had faded away, leaving behind a glistening greenery.

The person next to him was reporting the progress with a walkie-talkie, while Grete stood on the terrace, looking at the busy people below, appreciating the banquet venue with satisfaction.

There are two parts, indoor and outdoor. There is a children's playground outside. The awning blocks the sun and will not cause harm.

A large part of the room is a social place for adults, and she sent out many invitations.The female family members who seldom appear on weekdays will also come with their children.

After all, it was the future duke's second birthday party.

It would be perfect if the person who gave birth to him disappeared from the world, what a pity.

When the sun goes down in the afternoon, the party begins.

Cars drove through the garden one after another, and nearly fifty guests were invited, each of whom was carefully selected by Grete, who was her best friend or trusted person for many years.

She went to the door to greet her, and Que Yun stood beside her.

The young man used to look a bit timid even looking at her, but last time it was different.Not to mention that this time, he was able to make a perfect smile.

Naturally, Gretel did not show weakness. She introduced Que Yun to everyone with a lukewarm attitude. Those who were familiar with her could vaguely see her opinion of Que Yun, and naturally she was not very enthusiastic about Que Yun.

I was almost like a clown, I was afraid it would become a joke after dinner, but Que Yun didn't care.

He appeared here to make Ryan happy, but only this time.After all, he has promised Ryan, and he can't be a father who doesn't keep his promise.

Time passed by minute by minute.

From noon to night, night falls.

Gerrit got countless fireflies from nowhere and released them all together.Looking down from above, the lights are strung together like a flowing sea of ​​lights.

Que Yun was about to play on stage, but when he saw the fluttering fluorescent lights, he couldn't help frowning.

Ryan and his friends, big and small, were very surprised, laughing and applauding. Although he had a good time watching it, he still had to tell him how much harm it would do to forcefully change the ecological environment of animals.

Que Yun straightened his collar, then subconsciously looked for Wu Yunyi's figure.Even on his son's birthday, he disappeared without a trace.

On the side, Xue Shijia who wanted to come up with him stood up.

Que Yun looked up, Xue Shijia looked at him and said, "Sorry."

Que Yun thought he was going to the bathroom temporarily, so he nodded: "Go quickly."

With a complex expression on his face, Xue Shijia passed through the crowd and disappeared into everyone's eyes.

Nangong Nian standing against the wall was invited by Que Yun. Grete seemed to know her father, but she didn't pay much attention to Nangong Nian.

The grand piano had already appeared on the lawn, and the invited orchestra was on the other side. Knowing that it was time to get off work, they all packed up their things.

They were all young people, Que Yun walked over with the piano and chatted with them a few words.

Time is up.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Que Yun looked at his watch and walked to the grand piano.He sat down on the piano bench he brought and put the cello down.

"Daddy?" Ryan saw Que Yun take out the piano and ran over.

I didn't tell him about the performance, so he must be happy.Seeing Ryan's appearance, Que Yun knew it was a good idea.

but……

In front of the piano, it was empty.

Que Yun sat silently in front of the crowd, and Gerrit stood in the crowd, hearing broken voices.

It's not really a joke.

After all, as long as Que Yun wanted to, he could play other songs.However, before that, people heard that Shijia, who is now very popular, would play a duet with Que Yun, but Xue Shijia did not appear.

Margaret wanted to humiliate Que Yun in front of everyone.

She wanted Que Yun to completely let go of his thoughts of challenging and going against her, and wanted him to know that she was the one who could control Que Yun's fate.

Que Yun really didn't expect such an outburst.

He had imagined before that he would be ridiculed in public by someone, he would hear others say bad things behind his back, he would be hit by the awning, and maybe even put something in the wine glass in his hand...

But he never thought that Gretel recruited Xue Shijia.

It turned out that the "sorry" that Xue Shijia said just now meant this.

Emotionally hurt, far more than anything else.

With some distance between Ryan and Que Yun, he also felt a little puzzled.

"Ah, play a birthday song first." A man's voice came.

Que Yun laughed from the bottom of his heart, took a deep breath, and picked up the bow.

That can only rely on him to play solo, so what, he can do it.

However, the hand holding the bow could not fall.His arm seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't pull out the first syllable smoothly no matter what.

The soles of his feet were nailed to the ground, as if he was stuck in the mud, his whole body was numb, and his mind and body had lost all strength.

Yes, he is not reconciled.

It's Ryan's birthday, and he's making a fool of himself as a father—

In just 15 seconds, it seems as long as a century.

until a note sounded.

The tall figure sat on the piano bench like a ghost.

Ryan's face was full of surprises, and he called softly: "Dad!"

Que Yun heard it, his body shook for a moment, and he looked back.

Wu Yunyi sat on the piano bench and looked up at him.His pale eyes were dimly lit, but he seemed to know what to do.

In the soft dim light, Que Yun blinked and turned around.Focusing on the piano, he mobilized his arms.

The cheerful tone, the cello and the piano sounded together, as if to arouse emotions in my mind that I hadn't even noticed.

Que Yun forgot how he felt during practice, and played wantonly, the melody seemed to vent from his whole body.And Wu Yunyi seemed to know how he wanted to play, and the sound of the piano accompanied him impeccably.

These two seem to have played together countless times.

If the melting glaciers flow through the creek into the vast and boundless sea, if the layers of clouds are blown by the wind and gallop in the blue sky, if you walk barefoot on the grass, you will feel as if you are floating physically and mentally.

The flying notes blend perfectly in this beautiful night.

Many listeners were in tears, forgetting why they were here.

Near the end of the movement, the cello sound stopped and the piano played a short solo. Que Yun couldn't help but choked up a little. Then he put down the bow and plucked it with his fingers.

The tense and joyful atmosphere still lingers when the last note stops.

Ryan was the first to applaud, and then rushed towards the two, first running to the side of Que Yun.

"Happy birthday, my little Douding." Que Yun smiled.

Sweat stained a few strands of hair, God knows how nervous he is.

"Thank you, I love you the most, Daddy." He kissed Que Yun's face.

Amid the applause, he ran towards Wu Yunyi again, and threw himself on him.

Wu Yunyi's body was stiff, he met Que Yun's gaze, raised his hand to stroke Ryan's hair: "Happy birthday, Ryan."

"Thank you, Dad." Ryan kissed Wu Yunyi's face, still a little nervous, and whispered: "I love you too."

Que Yun smiled until his eyes curled up. He made eye contact with Wu Yunyi, and Wu Yunyi suddenly raised his arm again.

"—"

The birthday song plays.

Que Yun turned around abruptly, and successfully picked up the first note.

The piano suddenly changed, and the simple tune became a complex structure.After all, Que Yun was a professional, so he began to show off his cello skills.

The children shouted cheerfully, and the adults smiled unconsciously.

The people were immersed in the duet, and Gerrit was clutching a handkerchief, and her figure was submerged in the crowd.
