"What are you up to?"
Watching Lin Tian with a "plan successful" expression.
Gan Yanyu imdiately felt a bit uneasy.
She knew very well the audacious thing Lin Tian did at the last concert.
He hadn’t slept for two whole days, and he almost collapsed on stage!
In Gan Yanyu’s eyes, Lin Tian was just that kind of incredible person.
She knew it from the mont they first t.
"You’re not going to do sothing masochistic again, right? After all, you like that kind of....."
"What do you an by ’like’? In your eyes, do I always have to be the masochist?"
Lin Tian voiced his discontent.
The girl’s eyes suddenly widened,
"Then, do you want those holding the placards to start fighting? You should wear more clothes, it’ll hurt....."
"Thinking not about telling not to fight but to wear more clothes?!"
Lin Tian couldn’t help but tease.
He felt that in the future, Gan Yanyu would be the type who, while saying you should take care of your health and stay healthy.....
would also insist on making you a potent herbal tonic soup, forcing you to continue late into the night.
".....Don’t worry, I won’t do that kind of reckless stuff anymore."
"Besides, if I told you my plan in advance, it wouldn’t have the sa effect."
"So, you just need to focus on preparing, and do your best in the competition!"
Lin Tian extended his index finger, emphasising each word,
"Last week now, give it your all."
...
...
Friday night.
Countdown to the last two days of the Star Cup finals.
Lin Tian had arranged to have dinner with Xu Yong.
The two had their al at a restaurant near the school.
Lin Tian had not been to school for more than half a month, and he was a bit unaccustod to not having anyone to bicker with.
With the pressure of senior year, Xu Yong also started missing the days when Lin Tian was around. So, seizing this rare mont of free ti, he called Lin Tian out.
They had a simple al, curry rice.
It was affordable, with unlimited rice refills, a perennial favorite among commuting students.
Lin Tian hadn’t had it for a while and missed it too.
"Our great musician, Teacher Lin Tian, how is your arts exam preparation going?"
Xu Yong, who had just bought green tea from the neighboring convenience store, placed it on Lin Tian’s table and sat down across from him, asking.
"Not bad."
Ever since having his breakthrough during the performance with Gan Yanyu.
Lin Tian’s practice had increasingly beco smoother, and passing the arts exam was definitely not a problem.
But as for Zhonghua Music College’s own entrance exam, it was hard to say. After all, Lin Tian had only been practicing for a month, and prestigious schools need to maintain their reputation, so he couldn’t jump to conclusions just yet.
"Ah! The school is so boring without you!"
Xu Yong stuck his chopsticks into his plate, making a "thud thud thud" noise,
"You have no idea, that guy Su Ran is so annoying, lately stirring trouble for no reason, always likes to chat with , and doesn’t talk about anything else but you!"
"Talking about ?"
"Yeah, he’s been asking about your freshman and sophomore years, your interests and hobbies, your glorious history, and all that stuff?"
"Damn, does she have a crush on you or what!"
"Don’t worry."
Lin Tian patted Xu Yong’s arm, saying fervently,
"She could be anything, but she certainly couldn’t possibly fancy ."
He could see what kind of person Su Ran was.
On the surface, a model student; but secretly either teasing fools and otakus on Douyin, or conniving over so wild sche that no one else would think of.
"You didn’t spill any beans about , right?"
Just to be sure, Lin Tian asked.
"Of course, I wouldn’t tell anyone about you being a dead mom’s autistic orphan."
"Thanks for the good wishes." Lin Tian said.
"....."
Xu Yong once again regretted letting Lin Tian get the last laugh!
He only wanted to give Lin Tian a hard ti but always missed the mark.
You curse him about his dead mom, and he wishes even more that the person was dead.
Damn!
"But, it’s not like I can’t reveal anything haha——like my 23 cm....."
"I think, Su Ran is just interested in your and Gan Yanyu’s situation."
Xu Yong interrupted Lin Tian’s casting spell, not giving him a chance to show off,
"Su Ran is really sothing else, I don’t know where she dug up the information again, she excitedly told before, she discovered that you two are ’Moonlight and Cat’....."
"She found out?"
Lin Tian was taken aback for a mont, then he rembered that Su Ran had beco internet-famous for a video where she imitated Miss Cat.
It must have been then when she found out.
After all, if soone who doesn’t know Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu in real life, just watches their performances online, they wouldn’t be able to tell.
But for soone who knows them, watching a couple of videos would make it very easy to guess they are Moonlight and Cat.
However, the good thing is, Lin Tian doesn’t have many acquaintances in real life.
So having Su Ran guess right is already pushing it; it would be very unlikely to have another person do the sa.
"Don’t worry, she said she won’t tell anyone, but more than that, I’m more curious about one thing—"
Xu Yong said this with a lower voice,
"You... What exactly is going on between you and Gan Yanyu?"
"....."
Before Lin Tian could react, Xu Yong kept pressing,
"Look, you two now have over two million followers on Douyin, and then you also went to take the art exam for her, now that neither of you goes to school, you must be seeing each other every day—Tian, it shouldn’t be hard for you to make a move, right?"
Extrely rarely.
When Xu Yong talks about Gan Yanyu, he didn’t brag at all.
If it had been before, he would definitely have said: It’s been over half a month since you haven’t gone to school; going by three tis a day, Gan Yanyu must have drained you more than fifty tis by now, right? Let have a look, are you nothing but water now...
This ans, this ti Xu Yong is genuinely concerned about Lin Tian’s relationship progress.
"Our relationship is complicated, but actually, it’s also very pure....."
Talking about this topic, Lin Tian quickly returned to his "a man remains a boy until death" nature, becoming sowhat gentle, and his words carried a hint of artistic flair.
"What’s complicated about it? To an outsider like , you two eat together, go to school together, make Douyin videos together, go to college together.....dammit, when exactly will you two be together?"
"You might not believe it if I tell you." Lin Tian held his forehead,
"Don’t look at how we eat together, go to school together, make Douyin videos together, go to college together... but we, really haven’t had any romantic monts; perhaps there were one or two occasions with slightly over-the-line actions, but, any topics that could lead to wild thoughts haven’t been touched upon at all..."
"This... This is so exaggerated?!"
Xu Yong was genuinely shocked.
Normal n and won, as long as they’re straight, male/female by physical sex, and identify as male/female, spending so much intense ti together...
would hardly have no sparks at all!
Not to ntion slightly flirtatious chats, at the very least, topics about feelings should have co up!
"Don’t tell ghost stories—tell that up till now, you don’t even know if Gan Yanyu has talked about boyfriends..."
"It’s true."
"Dammit, then what the hell do you guys talk about every day!"
"Music, and... what to eat next."
"...Aweso."
After holding back for a while, that was all Xu Yong could say.
He truly felt like his values were being ground into the dirt.
If he used to dismiss Su Ran’s claims of "purity" with contempt.
This ti, he was thoroughly convinced!
"After all, we’re partners."
Seeing Xu Yong’s anxious expression, Lin Tian relaxed and smiled.
Who says he and Gan Yanyu don’t talk about "deep topics."
They do, and they talk about it often—
Dreams!
Nothing attracts people more than this topic!
In fact, there is sothing else.
The deepest conversation they’ve ever had was probably discussing how to establish the healthiest and most environntally-friendly "partnership" relationship, ensuring their creative path is unaffected.
"Then what are you going to do? You always say that you like her, right?"
Xu Yong was almost out of energy, "At least, you need to say sothing, express your feelings, and test her feelings, right?"
"That’s true."
Lin Tian knew that fantasizing every day in his heart was not enough.
In his mind, the sweet love life between him and Gan Yanyu had filled enough material to write a novel on its own.
Always fantasizing, never speaking out, that’s not right.
Sooner or later, he still had to say it... even though the goal might not be to end up together.
In fact, he also liked the relationship that always revolved around "dreams"...
"When do you plan to say it?"
Xu Yong didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
"The Yingqin Cup," Lin Tian paused before saying,
"I will talk to her clearly during the Yingqin Cup."
He just hoped that with Gan Yanyu’s personality, she wouldn’t be overwheld after hearing it.
