Gan Yanyu was awakened by a fragrant aroma.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the sofa.
The recorder was still playing soft music, only the volu was turned down very low.
Outside the gap in the curtains was a pitch-black sky.
She had slept from noon all the way until night...
A great sense of emptiness and loneliness instantly sprouted in her heart.
Gan Yanyu smoothened her sowhat disheveled hair and swept the fringe from her eyes as she put on her slippers.
Following the scent to its source, after seeing the busy figure in the kitchen...
The imnse loneliness from having slept until night was, at this mont, imdiately emptied.
Lin Tian was wearing a purple apron, busy with the pot.
Gan Yanyu tied her hair into a neat high ponytail and entered the kitchen.
"What are you making?"
"Tofu and carp soup."
"Where’d you buy it?"
"At the market. I also picked up so spices; your kitchen is lacking stuff."
Lin Tian said.
As a half-enthusiast in cooking, Lin Tian’s own ho was fully stocked with seasonings like pepper, five-spice powder, chili sauce, and various spices in abundance.
In comparison, Gan Yanyu’s place had even run out of chicken bouillon...
He couldn’t imagine what sort of bland dishes Gan Yanyu had been eating before she began coming over for als.
"How long have you been up?"
"About two hours."
"..."
Gan Yanyu ducked her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She had slept straight through until it was dark.
While Lin Tian not only woke up earlier but also made a trip out to buy groceries and started cooking.
Herself... it was as if she was being provided for by Lin Tian...
"Do you want to eat pudding? I’ll make you so."
Gan Yanyu said.
At this mont, she couldn’t think of anything else to do for Lin Tian.
"We’re about to eat dinner, why would you have dessert now."
Lin Tian made as if he wanted to flick Gan Yanyu on the head, but stopped himself.
Thinking back to the day’s events, he beca infuriated.
This girl, too reckless!
Couldn’t hold up, but wouldn’t say anything.
Just had to stubbornly play through seven pieces, right?
Before the performance, even joked about it "being more like sothing that would happen at a concert."
Alright, now practices are like this, what will happen at the concert?
Lin Tian cursed inwardly.
But still patiently asked:
"How do you feel now?"
"I’m fine."
Gan Yanyu said,
"Really, it’s not that serious. It’s just how my illness is. I told you, no need for the hospital, just take the dicine, sleep, and it’s all good."
Yeah, right.
You sounded so nonchalant, pale-faced and clinging to my sleeve in the car, making it seem like a scene out of a Korean drama!
Go ahead and jump around.
One day when you really close your eyes and can’t open them again, your body all stiff lying next to still gripping my sleeve without letting go, and murmuring with your dying breath about not wanting to stay in the hospital but wanting to go ho... trapping for life, then you’ll be happy!
Estimating that the fish soup was about ready, Lin Tian lifted the lid.
Looking at the white tofu soaking in the rolling clear broth and the enticingly shaped carp, Lin Tian’s appetite surged, quickly taking the pot off the stove and ladling out the fish soup.
"Fish soup’s coming right up."
Lin Tian brought the soup to the dining table.
Gan Yanyu wasn’t idle either, having served rice for both herself and Lin Tian and grabbed two bowls from the kitchen for the soup.
From this morning when they left ho until now, neither of them had eaten anything, and were truly starving.
So, without any further ado, they began to eat ravenously.
Gan Yanyu picked up her bowl, and gently sipped a mouthful of fish soup.
Hot!
But, oh so delicious.
Gan Yanyu had always enjoyed the dishes Lin Tian cooked, and today she had been hungry for the entire day.
At the mont she drank the fish soup,
the girl imdiately cupped her cheeks, showing an expression of supre bliss. As if she had never tasted such delicious fish soup in her life!
"..."
Here we go again.
Lin Tian noticed.
Eating like an ani character from Neon!
If at this mont, Gan Yanyu were to put down her bowl and add a line like "Oh Yushi!", it would be the killer mont, the episode all the otakus love to watch.
"By the way, Tian."
Gan Yanyu put down her chopsticks, took out her phone,
"The concert ti has been set, the 9th at 7 p.m."
The girl showed Lin Tian the chat history with the organizer.
"The 9th....."
Lin Tian calculated, today was Saturday, so it would be the Wednesday after next.
"On a weekday?"
"Yes, the concert is called ’Resonance of the Soul Concert’, hosted jointly by the Qingzhou City Music Association and ’Brightness’ event planning company. It’s very professional, and in previous years, it’s always been held on weekdays."
Gan Yanyu explained seriously to Lin Tian.
"That’s also good, fewer audiences at a weekday performance."
Lin Tian stroked his chin in thought, figuring that for Gan Yanyu, having fewer audience mbers probably would an much less pressure.
And so, here cos the problem.
Gan Yanyu’s condition was so severe that she would experience excessive stress even when performing in a classroom of over a hundred people.
So how did she perform back in the UK??
Forget dostic competitions for the mont, where Sir Gan was always present, ensuring Gan Yanyu’s ntal state wouldn’t be too bad. Plus, the girl’s depression only worsened after she went to the UK.
While in the UK, Gan Yanyu took part in nurous local competitions.
According to the girl herself, she won quite a few awards...
How co there were no problems when she perford in the UK, but after returning ho, ntored personally by Lin Tian, things didn’t work out?
Could it possibly be my fault?
"...."
Lin Tian didn’t hide his thoughts, and directly asked Gan Yanyu this question.
The girl fell into unexpected silence.
A pair of beautiful eyes flashed a faint glint of sorrow.
Then she said,
"It’s been too long since I last perford, it’s normal to feel rusty after being away from the stage for so long. We’ll have rehearsals, just getting a sense of being on stage should make it fine, no worries..."
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes at Gan Yanyu.
But the girl did not et his gaze, she lifted her bowl, covering half of her face, making it impossible for Lin Tian to see any change in her expression as she "gulp, gulp" drank the soup...
However, Gan Yanyu soon displayed a pained expression and quickly put down the bowl, fanning her tongue with her little hand,
"Hot..."
...This silly girl.
Although Lin Tian had his doubts about Gan Yanyu’s explanation,
Seeing Gan Yanyu’s attitude that she had no intention of dwelling further on the topic, Lin Tian knew that even if he kept asking, it would be futile.
He opened his phone and asked,
"You need to go and sign the contract with the organizer in a couple of days, right?"
This was sothing Lin Tian had seen in the chat history Gan Yanyu had shown him.
As an upcoming perforr, Gan Yanyu needed to personally visit the organizer’s office before the deadline to sign the contract.
This deadline was generally one to two weeks before the official start of the concert.
"Just in ti, at Qingtian Music Hall, there’s a symphony concert on Wednesday."
Lin Tian showed Gan Yanyu the information he had found on his phone,
"Let’s consider it a chance to familiarize ourselves with the venue and to alleviate so anxiety, let’s go watch it together."
