New York 2006

Chapter 64 Taylor witnesses the past
After Taylor came to New York, Luo Ji took her to the places where he used to live and walked around.Then the two had a good time for two days. After that, the two visited many landmarks in New York, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Empire State Building, Central Park, etc. The two also took many photos.

Afterwards, the two went to see an opera on Broadway and listened to several classical music performances.Sure enough, Tianqi's routines are very useful. Luo Ji composed two songs from classical music melodies.

One is "Secrets" from the Republican era. The prelude of this song draws on Bach's Cello Suite No. [-] in G major.Like Viva La Vida, it is another perfect combination of classical music and modern pop.

Another song is "Memories" by Magic Red. The accompaniment of this song is the classic classical music Canon in D major.

These two songs, like "We are Young", both come from Melody Apocalypse.Now he has six songs. Luo Ji plans to save only one for the next album and put the other five songs into his debut album.Strive to achieve what Jeff Busker calls an amazing one.

Luo Ji and Taylor also watched the movie "Alpha Dog" that was being released in the past two days.

There was nothing interesting about the movie in January. The main thing that attracted Luo Ji to this movie was the title.For some reason, when Luo Ji saw this movie title, he felt that this movie should be high-end.

But after reading it, it’s okay.It also stars Justin Timberlake, who Luo Ji hates, but the actor Amanda Seyfried is really beautiful.

Luo Ji and Taylor had a lot of fun the past two days, and they just started working today. At the end of the day's recording session, Luo Ji drove Taylor home.Grandma Queenie prepared a sumptuous dinner for her today and invited her to her house for dinner.Luo Ji was talking to Taylor while driving.

"The two of us are not in good recording condition today."

"Haha, maybe we have been having too much fun recently, this breakup song needs sad emotions."

After passing an intersection, there was a red light.Luo Ji parked the car and waited. She looked at Taylor. This 16-year-old girl was indeed not very beautiful. People said that men are visual creatures. Luo Ji also felt that he was like this, but it didn't work on her.

She has the unique charm of an artist, always able to poeticize every little thing in life and make his heart stir, something that no one else has ever given him.

"The green light is here, go now."

Taylor reminded him loudly, and Luo Ji came to his senses. The car behind him was already honking its horn frantically, so Luo Ji immediately started the car.When the car started moving, Luo Ji took a glance and found Taylor smiling happily. She thought Luo Ji had just stared at her.Girls all seem to be like this, secretly chuckling when others look at them.

"We have arrived."

Driving to the parking lot of my home community.The weather was fine just now, but as soon as the two got out of the car, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.Taylor was very surprised and stretched out his right hand to let the snow fall into his palm.

"Look at the snowflakes in my palm, they are really beautiful."

"Let me see."

When Luo Ji was about to take a look, the snowflakes had already melted.I don't know what she thought, but Taylor, who was happy just now, became a little disappointed, and she sighed.

"This brief, crystal moment."

In the past two days, Luo Ji gradually got to know Taylor a little bit. She was the kind of girl who was particularly full of emotions and had the delicate heart of an artist.She is often happy because of the small good things in life, but also frustrated because of the emotional fluctuations.

"You should be happy just thinking about the feast Queenie cooked for you."

"Haha, okay, let's go upstairs quickly, she must be waiting impatiently."

Luo Ji knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was neither his grandmother Queenie nor his brother Chucky.It was her mother, Sami, who went back to Chicago with Karl after attending the company party that day. Unexpectedly, she came home again today.

When Sami saw Luo Ji, he glared at him first. Then when he saw Taylor, he immediately smiled and greeted him, holding Taylor's hand to greet him.

"You must be Taylor. I heard Feili talking about you. You guys have been recording songs all day today. You must be exhausted. Come in and have a rest. Food will be ready soon."

Taylor was a little embarrassed by Sami's enthusiasm. She didn't know who Sami was, so she cast a look at Luo Ji asking for help.Luo Ji introduced her: "She is my mother, Sammy."

Taylor, who was still natural, suddenly became a little nervous and stammered: "Hello, Sammy."

Mother Sammy warmly welcomed her: "Come on, take off your coat first. Hum, isn't this Fili's black down jacket?"

"Tyler didn't bring any heavy clothing when he came from Wyoming."

The three of them walked inside. Their mother, Sami, smiled and said, "Your red scarf matches this dress very well. Taylor, you are so tall."

"1.8 meters."

"As tall as our filet."

Taylor put the down jacket and red scarf on the hanger. Luo Ji saw that she was a little embarrassed by Sami's enthusiasm. She was in a hurry, her walking posture was not right, and she was very nervous. "Mom, stop talking, you should go cook first."

"Queenie and Fiona are doing it. I can't help. Let me and Taylor have a good chat. You go to the kitchen and meet Fiona."

Having said this, Luo Ji had no choice but to give Taylor a look that told her to take care of herself.Luo Ji came to the kitchen, where his grandmother Queenie and aunt Fiona were busy.

When Luo Ji was visiting New York with Taylor two days ago, he received a call from the white-glove lawyer and Fiona. Through the phone call, he learned that Fiona's matter had been resolved.The prosecutor reached an out-of-court settlement with Fiona directly before going to court, and hurriedly closed the case with a fine of [-] meters.

This is hard to imagine in other countries, but prosecutors in the United States have too much power. They have the right to reach out-of-court settlements with criminals, and they also have the right to appeal or not. The elite system in the United States has given this group of elites great rights. .

Luo Ji first said hello to his grandmother Queenie, then turned to Fiona and asked, "How is Frank? Who is taking care of him now?"

"Frank is basically mobile now and Sammy looked after him for a while and is now in the care of his wife Sheila. He's recovering well."

"What happened to Sammy today? Why did he treat me with a nose that is not my nose and eyes that are not my eyes, and why was he glaring at me?"

Fiona giggled and said, "Sammy heard that you brought your girlfriend back but didn't notify her. She was very angry at that time. Knowing that I was coming to New York, she drove back with me."

Luo Ji looked at his grandmother Queenie, and she hid guiltily.She must have called Sammy to tell him.Luo Ji whispered, "Tyler and I haven't reached that point yet, how can you tell Sammy that she is my girlfriend."

Grandma Queenie became confident: "You are so good-looking and outstanding. No girl can catch up with you. I just told Sammy that I have never seen you pay so much attention to any girl. Who knew she would be like this?" Came directly to New York.”

"Okay, okay, you guys get busy, I'll go out and take a look."

Luo Ji came out of the kitchen and saw that Sami and Taylor were getting along well. She was holding a photo album to show to Taylor. Luo Ji also moved over. The photo album turned out to be photos of his childhood. Sami pointed at a photo. said.

"This is a photo of Fili when he was in elementary school. This is the violin competition he participated in in elementary school and won No. 1. You can see how happy he is smiling."

Taylor took the photo album and looked at it carefully. In the photo, Luo Ji was wearing a formal suit with a tie on his chest. He was holding a violin in his left hand and a trophy in his right hand, with a blush on his cheeks.Taylor reached out and touched the photo gently, her eyes softening.

While flipping through the photo album, Taylor asked about the scene when the photo was taken.Sammy explained from the sidelines.

"This was taken when we went to the beach to play. This was taken when I just gave birth to Philly. This was taken when Philly was one month old..."

The photos in the album record Luo Ji's growth from a baby to 16 years old now.The photo album records all the changes in Luo Ji over the past 16 years.

Taylor read them all, reluctantly returned the photo album to Sami, and then looked at Luo Ji with soft eyes.

"This is your old life. It feels really good."

"Most of the photos record beautiful moments."

Sammy had a smile on his face and joked: "Feli was very cute when he was a child. He was very popular in school at the time, but he became disabled when he grew up."

Luo Ji immediately protested: "What's wrong with me? I'm so handsome, what do you think, Taylor?"

"I feel like I've become disabled, and I'm not as cute as before." After Taylor finished speaking, he lowered his head and snickered.

"You don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"I choose the harder path."

"What way?"

Luo Jisheng is helpless: "I can obviously rely on my face to make a living, but I choose to rely on my talent. This may be the tragedy of a man."

"Hahaha."
