"Ah, this doesn’t sound quite right."
Gan Yanyu said hesitantly.
"Why?"
Lin Tian rembered, Mr. Wan Qi used to call her that too.
He thought it sounded pretty intimate, and was also easy to say.
"Only my elders use that nickna for ..."
Alright.
Since Yanyu doesn’t like it, Lin Tian didn’t insist.
"Then should I call you Gan?"
"That sounds awful."
"Yuzi?"
"I’m younger than you."
"Gan Yanyu?"
"Who’s that?"
"Lao Yu?"
"What does that an...?"
"In our family, if we’re close to soone, we usually add ’Lao’ to their na to show affection," Lin Tian explained seriously.
"Then should I call you ’Lao Tian’?" Gan Yanyu tilted her head.
"Let’s forget that..."
Lin Tian, after all, hadn’t paid tribute to the legendary durability king and didn’t qualify to be called "Lao".
He couldn’t call her this, couldn’t call her that, Lin Tian really couldn’t think of what else to call her.
"Actually, calling you ’Yanyu’ isn’t too bad..." Gan Yanyu said quietly, toying with her hair.
"Alright, Yanyu," Lin Tian imdiately called out.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she heard Lin Tian’s call, the girl’s face instantly turned red, and she imdiately regretted it,
"Usually, you should still call Gan Yanyu or Mr. Gan!"
Actually, many of Gan Yanyu’s elders and her previously close friends used to call her that.
But she didn’t know why, when this nickna was called out by Lin Tian,
She felt extrely embarrassed.
It wasn’t that she disliked it, it just felt... strange.
"’Usually’—so when should I call you ’Yanyu’?" Lin Tian asked.
"Maybe during creative monts..." Gan Yanyu said softly.
"Okay, Yanyu."
"I said that’s only for when we’re being creative."
Gan Yanyu turned her face away.
"No problem, Yanyu."
"...."
Gan Yanyu covered her face, curling up like a frightened little rabbit.
Lin Tian laughed.
See.
I told you, she’s as funny as a personbot.
However, before Lin Tian could feel too smug, the next second, Gan Yanyu’s hands covering her face slowly opened a slit.
Her beautiful eyes staring straight at him,
"What should I call you?"
"Just call Lin Tian."
Lin Tian always felt his na was quite bland, simple and rough, and easy to say, with nothing fancy about it...
"Tian."
Suddenly, Gan Yanyu whispered softly.
Though her voice wasn’t loud, it carried a hint of warmth, clearly reaching Lin Tian’s ears.
Lin Tian’s eyes instantly widened, and he perked up.
".... Is it too weird?" Gan Yanyu asked.
Lin Tian shook his head.
Gan Yanyu placed her hands behind her back, her petite face pondering one mont, realizing another... as if reminiscing sothing, then suddenly, her body leaned towards Lin Tian:
"Tian...?"
"..."
"Wait wait wait...."
Lin Tian quickly gestured with his hands, "You should still call Lin Tian!"
The damage was indeed too high!
Lin Tian admitted, hearing his own single na from Gan Yanyu’s mouth indeed brought an indescribable thrill.
But truly being called that several tis, Lin Tian was finding it hard to handle.
It always involuntarily conjured up thoughts of a dainty wife clinging to his arm and being affectionate...
Sure enough, it was still too early for that title!
"Alright."
Seeing Lin Tian resist, Gan Yanyu also stopped with pursed lips.
...
However, after their recent heart-to-heart, everyone felt much more at ease.
Indeed, since they are partners, they should speak openly.
Lin Tian didn’t forget to logically ask:
"So, Teacher Yanyu, is staying for a drink now considered ’crossing the line’?"
"Although I really want to drink... it’s too late now, so other ti."
"Sure."
Just now at the door, after being pushed against the wall for a mont, and with half an hour passed, it was too late to insist on staying.
Anyway, his goal of having a good chat with Gan Yanyu was achieved, whether he stayed or not didn’t matter anymore.
"How about tomorrow night?"
Perhaps feeling that "so other ti" sounded a bit insincere, Gan Yanyu quickly set a definite ti,
"I’m making dinner for you tomorrow night anyway, we can have a drink together too."
"Okay."
"Mmm, then I’m leaving."
"Bye."
"Bye—"
Gan Yanyu turned around and grabbed the door handle.
This ti, she glanced back at Lin Tian before opening the door.
Ensuring she wouldn’t be pushed against the wall again, the girl carefully took a step forward and left, closing the door behind her.
...
...
When the first rays of morning sunlight entered Lin Tian’s room and fell on the young man’s sheets.
"Beep beep—"
"Beep beep—"
A series of vibration sounds, like a pair of hands hastening death, shook Lin Tian’s neck...
Dazed, Lin Tian reached for his phone beside the pillow.
He thought it was a call, but instead, he saw incessant Douyin notifications.
He clicked.
Sitting up from what seed like his deathbed!
Lin Tian’s eyes widened as he looked at his phone.
The Kangkang dance track...
Went viral?!
410,000 likes, 6.24 million views.
The barrage of comnts, moving like waves over the video.
[I don’t know how many tis I’ve listened to this!]
[Mom, it’s so addictive!]
[This is the first ti I’ve loved an instruntal this much]
[Aren’t they high school students? How can they be this cool!]
[Hahaha, so fun! It looks like they’re really enjoying themselves!]
[...]
Following the comnts, Lin Tian watched the video again.
Probably too imrsed last night, he hadn’t noticed anything off when he checked the video.
Now watching it again, Lin Tian nearly lost it!
In the video, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu from last night, clearly already hyped up, played passionately in their damp clothes.
Lin Tian’s fingers flew over the piano keys, his whole body shaking with the music.
Just like Tom Cat, bouncing with each key he hit!
It mirrored playing a dance ga, moving up, down, left, right, then "pop!" hitting the spacebar.
The normally reserved Gan Yanyu wasn’t faring any better. While pulling on the cello strings, her little head swayed back and forth, and though the cara did not capture her face, you could clearly see her hair bouncing.
Even through the screen, you could feel the joyful atmosphere in the video!
[Buddy, you’re always a step behind ! @XXX]
[Kangkang dance track, even the na is funny, definitely not ordinary!]
[This is original music, my goodness, what kind of amazing Douyin artists are these?]
[Feels like they’re really having fun! For the first ti, I genuinely feel the happiness from music...]
[Ah, if only I could play an instrunt, I’d love to give it a try!]
[...]
Lin Tian opened the app’s backstage, only to find his inbox had exploded.
Among them, a ssage from an account nad [Unive Official] stood out.
[Hello, we’re a music copyright company, we’d like to buy your music rights for 200,000 yuan. Can we talk?]
