Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 143 - 121: The Gift for Gan Yanyu

"You know so much?"

Lin Tian didn’t expect Gao Zhenyang to be unexpectedly knowledgeable about romance?

"I gave her a watch before."

Lin Tian said.

It was on the first day Gan Yanyu returned to school, Lin Tian celebrated her return to normal school life by giving her the watch in person in the courtyard downstairs that morning.

Because of that watch, Lin Tian even got a hug.

Tsk~

That feeling, Lin Tian can still recall it now.

The feeling of Gan Yanyu’s soft body pressing against him, her whole head buried into his chest, and the lovely smell of her shampoo mixed with her unique subtle body scent...

Heavenly.

So much so that Lin Tian considered asking Gan Yanyu for the link to buy the same shampoo.

That way, whenever he washed his hair, he could be reminded of the feeling of hugging Gan Yanyu.

"A watch... Who gives a girl a watch?"

Gao Zhenyang was surprised by Lin Tian’s idea,

"Shouldn’t you give something meaningful? Are you giving her a watch to remind her to keep track of time and not slack off on work and studies? You aren’t her boss..."

"So what should I give?"

Lin Tian thought for a moment and, following Gao Zhenyang’s line of thought, he should give something that would make Gan Yanyu feel his presence.

"It can’t be a life-sized pillow, right?"

Lin Tian pictured the scene of Gan Yanyu taking that to the stage.

In front of all the judges and the audience, the elegant well-known cellist Miss Gan Yanyu, holding a pillow with Lin Tian’s picture on it.

Placing it beside her during the performance.

It was quite thrilling to think about.

If Gan Yanyu gave him that, he would definitely have no problem.

"Are you serious?"

Gao Zhenyang looked at Lin Tian incredulously.

Do high schoolers nowadays play so wild?

Or is it that the thought processes of genius musicians are just abnormal?

"Not really."

"That gift is still too ahead of its time."

Gao Zhenyang, wiping his sweat,

"Open up your mind, give something portable, if possible, the best would be custom-made, handmade, or self-made..."

"Custom-make a cello?" Lin Tian asked.

"The competition is about to begin, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to switch equipment suddenly?"

"How about a dress?"

"If you’re confident about your sense of aesthetic, that’s also possible, but think carefully if the girl would like it."

"Then a diamond ring?"

"...What exactly are you trying to do?!"

"..."

In the vast piano classroom.

A university teacher and a recently popular newcomer in the music circle.

Sitting beside the piano, seriously discussing how to buy gifts for a girl.

Occasionally stroking their chins, holding their foreheads, frowning, nodding...

Students passing by the corridor, seeing the scene inside the classroom, would think they were discussing some academic topic related to classical music and were having intense discussions.

"Anyway..."

Gao Zhenyang said, "Teacher Lin Tian, since your art exam preparations are almost done, I think you can take this matter a bit more seriously."

"Okay."

...

...

Leaving the Music Academy, walking on the road, Lin Tian pondered the recent problem.

As the competition drew near, the help Lin Tian could offer to Gan Yanyu was already very limited.

At most, he could help her with her rehearsal, offer some compliments, provide some emotional value, and help her find confidence.

After all, Lin Tian couldn’t join her on stage; at this stage, he truly felt powerless.

If a gift could help Gan Yanyu find focus, then it would be very worthwhile.

After some thought, Lin Tian decided to consult one of his few friends.

Lin Tian sent a message to Xu Yong.

It had been a while since he went to school, and he didn’t know how this guy was doing in school.

As Lin Tian briefly described to Xu Yong how a gift should help a girl find confidence, aiming for a "seeing the object and thinking of the person" effect—

[What a burden]

Xu Yong said,

[You, sitting in the audience with a remote control, her on the stage playing the cello with her legs clamped showing a struggling expression, and the audience has to guess what’s wrong with her...]

[I guarantee it’ll be effective.]

[....]

Lin Tian added Xu Yong’s WeChat into the blacklist. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

I don’t plan to let it out in the next few days.

In front of Xu Yong, the life-sized pillow that Lin Tian just thought of seemed pure like a child.

Damn!

The worst part is, Lin Tian actually felt that Xu Yong wasn’t just bluffing, but really found the idea feasible!

Moreover, he could even predict Xu Yong’s next option.

Soon it would be a custom-made life-sized mold of Lin Tian.

"...."

After much consideration, Lin Tian found that there was only one person left to ask.

This sort of thing is indeed better to ask a girl.

[...]

[A gift that makes you think of me whenever you see it.]

Su Ran sent a voice message, her tone filled with intriguing subtlety,

[Yo yo yo, getting all romantic now, huh~ Playing out a scene from a drama series, right?]

[No, it’s mainly because Yanyu will feel confident on stage when I’m there beside her.]

Rather than calling it a token of affection... it’s more like a health pack, the kind that fills you with power when you see it.

There’s actually another very efficient method.

It would be for Lin Tian to lend money to Gan Yanyu.

Lend her tens of thousands at one go, then say quarter-finals during Dragon Violin Cup on interest, semi-finals interest-free, champions by installment.

Just glance at the bill during the contest, its health-boosting effect surpasses all other gifts!

[Still pretending~ Your absence means no confidence, doesn’t that just show how important you are?]

[People’s physical constitution can’t all be lumped together.....]

[Alright alright, say whatever you want.]

Su Ran thought for a moment and said,

[Actually, what girls value more is a feeling, it’s not about something they need to physically see or touch.]

[For example, you could give her a lipstick to wear during the competition, she’d feel like you’re battling side by side.]

[Lipstick, huh?]That’s a direction Lin Tian had never considered.

Indeed, no pretty girl would dislike lipstick.

Even someone like Gan Yanyu who doesn’t like makeup put on her own lipstick at the last concert.

[How do I buy it?]

[There are many, Armani, Chanel, Dior... just search it up, choose a foolproof shade and you’ll be fine.]

[Isn’t this stuff expensive?]

[Yes, for someone like Gan, of course, you can’t buy cheap lipstick.]

Su Ran said,

[Or you could gift perfume, smelling it can also make her feel like you are right beside her, but it’s definitely not cheap either.]

[So what should I actually give?]

Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless.

After going around in circles, the item was still undecided, but the price kept rising.

Moreover, there was no guarantee it would work.

[Actually, the most important thing is the feeling...]

[Enough with the feeling!]

.....

That evening.

When Lin Tian returned home, he called Gan Yanyu over.

"What’s the matter, why so secretive....."

Gan Yanyu was asked to sit on a chair, she looked up curiously at Lin Tian in front of her,

"I haven’t finished practicing my violin tonight..."

"Shush."

Lin Tian motioned for Gan Yanyu to quiet down.

Then he reached out, passed around Gan Yanyu’s neck, and lifted her long hair.

Then, he fastened something on.

By the time the girl reacted—

A silver pendant engraved with [Rainy Day] hung in front of her chest.

"This is...."

Gan Yanyu’s eyes widened suddenly.

She touched the pendant on her chest and said blankly.

"It’s for you."

Lin Tian spoke seriously, "Remember to wear it properly on the day of the competition."

"Ah..."

A blush crept across the young girl’s pretty face, her gaze suddenly becoming vacant, her whole expression froze as if she was too nervous to know what to do.

"How... how did you think to give this?"

"Actually, I’ve been thinking all day about what to give you that would make you feel like I’m beside you during the competition. I considered the feel, the scent..."

"All that doesn’t matter....."

Gan Yanyu whispered quietly, "The important thing is that Lin Tian, you gave it... As long as it’s from you, it will have that effect."
