"People who achieve great things, huh."
Gao Zhenyang sighed.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen,
Right in the midst of youth.
At this point in ti, facing soone you like and knowing how to "suppress your emotions," enduring loneliness,
That’s incredibly, incredibly difficult.
Especially since this is a girl.
"But, Mr. He, I want to make a bet with you."
Gao Zhenyang suddenly gave a mysterious smile and said.
"A bet?"
"I think that although Mr. Lin Tian sotis has big emotional swings, he is the one who is more rational in the relationship, while Gan Yanyu, the reason she can stay calm now is just because she hasn’t correctly understood their feelings yet."
Gao Zhenyang said,
"If one day in the future a big event happens that could affect the trajectory of their lives, Gan Yanyu will definitely be the one who acts impulsively."
"Are you that sure?"
He Zhichen squinted his eyes, showing a hint of disdain.
In He Zhichen’s mory,
Such an image... doesn’t line up with Gan Yanyu at all.
"The image you described clearly fits Mr. Lin Tian more."
In contrast, Lin Tian,
Lin Tian is the one who would make bold choices at critical monts and then miraculously turn things around.
"That’s because the situations they’ve gone through haven’t been intense enough. What you call a ’crisis’ is still sothing Mr. Lin Tian can solve with calm thinking."
"I’m their manager. Do you think you know better than ?"
He Zhichen challenged.
"It’s a feeling."
Gao Zhenyang chuckled,
"It’s the intuition of us musicians."
"..."
"No, I have to calculate this!"
After thinking for a while, He Zhichen still couldn’t accept it.
So, he quickly assud the precision of a mathematician, opened his tablet,
"I have all the competition data of Mr. Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, as well as all the major decisions they’ve made..."
Known for his ticulousness, He Zhichen wasn’t going to let this go today!
He didn’t believe that Gao Zhenyang could know better than him!
However, just as He Zhichen was halfway through scrolling, Gao Zhenyang’s hand stopped him.
"Co on, I’m not even going to look at it."
Gao Zhenyang mocked,
"So things aren’t clear from data—you just need to say if you’re betting or not!"
"You tricky devil, you’re provoking , aren’t you."
He Zhichen adjusted his glasses and laughed helplessly,
"Fine, I’ll bet!"
"So what’s the wager?"
"If you lose, you have to co with us to the Keller Cup in Vienna and act as a coach for Mr. Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu."
Gao Zhenyang widened his eyes, protesting against He Zhichen’s slyness, "Go do unpaid work for you guys, and I don’t have to teach?"
"Figure it out yourself then."
He Zhichen smiled proudly.
"Fine, then if you lose, you have to give the spot as a witness at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s wedding."
"??"
Upon hearing this, He Zhichen couldn’t hold back and stared at Gao Zhenyang in disbelief,
"How did you know I’ve been eyeing that spot for a long ti?! I was even planning to talk to Mr. Lin Tian about it!"
"Don’t worry, just talk to him and say the spot goes to ."
"Oh, you, I’ve looked forward to this for so long, and you just co and want to snatch it from ?"
All along,
as the number one manager, He Zhichen had kept this in his heart for a long ti.
Being a longstanding "head of the family," he had always cared about this couple’s emotional progress.
The mont he dread of most was attending Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s wedding as a witness.
If that day ever ca, He Zhichen could say he’d have a fulfilled life!
He had already been planning in his mind when to find a chance to bring it up with Lin Tian.
After all, Lin Tian had no family, no relatives, no colleagues, no superiors...
He was obviously the top choice!
This little happiness, long hidden in the serious facade of He Zhichen,
was actually dug up by Gao Zhenyang!
He Zhichen even suspected now if Gao Zhenyang did it on purpose just to trap him!
All to set this situation and dig out his little treasure.
"If it’s not a high-stakes bet, where’s the fun?"
Gao Zhenyang laughed,
"I’m gambling at the risk of being a free coach for a month."
"Alright—bet it is!"
In for a penny, in for a pound, He Zhichen also placed his bet.
He was convinced that his judgnt, based on rigorous data, was definitely more reliable than Gao Zhenyang’s so-called "intuition"!
"We’ll see then." Gao Zhenyang laughed.
A nonsensical "bet" in the first chat between two old friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages.
Perhaps, even they couldn’t imagine when this bet’s outco would co to fruition.
...
...
"Ding-dong—"
Lin Tian rang Gan Yanyu’s doorbell.
After a while, the girl in white pajamas opened the door.
Seeing the neatly dressed Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, sowhat surprised,
"Are you going out?"
"I’ve already gone out and co back."
"Ah...?"
"Quickly get dressed, we’re starting the performance soon."
"So rushed? Haven’t had breakfast yet?"
"Let’s do it first!"
At this mont, Lin Tian couldn’t afford to care about too much.
He urgently wanted to verify the guess in his heart, to prove whether what he thought was wrong.
"Then... where will we..."
"Co to my room."
Lin Tian said,
"Shouldn’t we collaborate?"
"Alright."
Gan Yanyu’s face clearly showed a flash of disappointnt.
Clearly, it was agreed last night to do it in Gan Yanyu’s room.
"Then wait for a mont."
After speaking,
Gan Yanyu closed the door.
After another while, Lin Tian, who had already set up equipnt at ho, heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, when Gan Yanyu appeared again at Lin Tian’s house, she had already changed into an elegant long white dress.
After washing her face, the girl now looked more refreshed.
"Let’s begin."
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu took their places at their respective practice areas.
No more unnecessary words.
3, 2, 1.....
The countdown ended.
Lin Tian started playing the piano first.
Soon, Gan Yanyu also began pulling the cello strings.
The gentle lody played in the apartnt on a morning.
"..."
Great!
Just at the beginning, Lin Tian quickly felt the change in Gan Yanyu’s tone.
The effort they put in yesterday was not in vain!
The girl’s cello was evidently more profound, more tender than yesterday, almost imdiately making Lin Tian feel a sense of serenity.
This was the sentint from Gan Yanyu.
Different from Lin Tian’s, more gentle and cautious emotions.....
Seeing the joy on Lin Tian’s face.
Gan Yanyu, while playing, also felt more confident.
She played more boldly, imrsing in the feelings searched for last night.
Just like that,
Release them... all of it...
Gan Yanyu thought.
In this way... they surely can perform the best stage!
Surely... can win the championship in this final...!!
"..."
Seeing Gan Yanyu’s joyful mood, as she turned to look at Lin Tian, wanting to share this emotion.
Her expression, however, froze at this mont.
——The Lin Tian in front of her, at this mont, had tightly knitted brows.
On his face, a subtly complex expression.
"Indeed... what he said wasn’t wrong... still sowhat lacking."
Lin Tian let go of the piano keys, muttering.
"Lacking what?"
"Why lacking?"
anwhile, Gan Yanyu put down the bow, urgently asked.
"..."
Looking at Gan Yanyu’s urgent yet pure face.
Lin Tian hesitated to speak.
Ultimately couldn’t say that sentence.
——Because our love is too repressed.
No matter how ticulously they refine ’Ode to Love’.
They can only perfect the surface.
They... will never be able to perform ’Ode to Love’ perfectly at the final’s stage.
"Perhaps, I’ve been too demanding..."
Lin Tian sighed,
"Maybe choosing another piece would be better."
Lin Tian thought for a while; now he seed to have let go a bit.
Just as Gao Zhenyang said.
He and Gan Yanyu were not wrong; their love could withstand ti’s test too.
Just, at the wrong ti, wrong place, encountered the wrong ’Ode to Love’.
Right from the start,
Gan Yanyu didn’t want to play this piece; it was my insistence.....
"No!"
This mont, Gan Yanyu stared at Lin Tian, quite aggrievedly said,
"I only want this piece!!"
