...]

Lin Tian hadn’t finished reading the rest of the content.

Gan Yanyu had already stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"To get a drink."

Gan Yanyu opened the fridge and took out a can of beer.

...Is that considered water?

"Pop!"

The girl opened the can, leaning her slender body against the cold, tiled wall.

Alone, she tilted her head back and started drinking.

"I think it’s the jury’s problem, Bai Xi’s performance, no matter how you look at it, wasn’t as good as yours."

Lin Tian, sitting on the sofa, analyzed seriously.

"Hmm."

"Gao Zhenyang’s judgment is definitely not wrong, he also thought your performance was better than Bai Xi’s, this first runner-up doesn’t make any sense!"

"Hmm."

"Ah, what’s done is done, being the first runner-up is also great, I think, the jury panel of the Yingqin Cup will surely be more professional than the Star Cup’s..."

"Lin Tian."

"Ah?"

Gan Yanyu looked into Lin Tian’s eyes and smiled gently,

"Do I look like someone who can’t take a hit?"

"...You do."

"Actually, I had anticipated this result. Being able to perform your piece well on stage without any mishaps, I’m really satisfied."

Gan Yanyu said,

"After all, Teacher Bai Xi is indeed very impressive, currently, among all the young cellists in Qingjiang, there probably isn’t anyone who can match her. If she played classical music composed by you, Lin Tian, she would definitely perform it brilliantly too..."

"No, Mr. Gan..." Lin Tian did not know how Gan Yanyu had brought up this topic.

"Alright, the college entrance exam for the arts is in a week, let’s work hard together."

After speaking, Gan Yanyu opened the door to Lin Tian’s house.

"Bam!"

And closed it.

It seems she really was affected...

Lin Tian sighed.

Indeed, Gan Yanyu had really worked hard for this competition, and to end up with such a result in the end.

Even with the best mentality and the most optimistic attitude, it would be very hard to accept...

The most important thing was, this first runner-up, was truly unexpected.

How could Gan Yanyu not win...

Neither Gao Zhenyang nor himself had anticipated this.

Recalling the words Gan Yanyu had said in his ear at the restaurant.

She probably had a premonition at that time.

Lin Tian had initially thought that once the Yingqin Cup was over, he would plan to confess.

With Gan Yanyu’s current state, it really wasn’t a good time to bring it up.

For now, just let Gan Yanyu take a break.

Suddenly bearing such a blow, it was indeed hard to accept.

Just need a little time to recover.

...

Evening.

Gan Yanyu came over for dinner and brought along her revision materials.

After the Star Cup had ended, they were now seriously preparing for the college entrance exam for the arts.

Even someone as professionally capable as Gan Yanyu couldn’t go completely unprepared, just like Lin Tian, who had good academic scores, would definitely flip through the books the night before a mock exam.

After dinner, Lin Tian received a call from Gao Zhenyang.

"Sorry, Teacher Lin Tian, I was too busy today and only just remembered to make this call!"

"The result of the Star Cup, it really was unexpected, to get only first runner-up, it’s quite regrettable! Sigh, you and Teacher Gan Yanyu cheer up a bit, keep up the good work, the end of the month’s Yingqin Cup is the real deal..."

Lin Tian replied with "Hmm" throughout the conversation.

Afterwards, he hung up the call.

Turning around, Gan Yanyu was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the music theory textbook she had bought earlier.

Her expression was serious, as if she was in her own world, seemingly not even noticing Lin Tian’s phone call.

Lin Tian then opened Weibo.

As the results of the Star Cup were released, various Qingjiang Province music media outlets began to forward the news, followed by comments from netizens.

[Ah! As expected, Sister Bai Xi won the championship! I knew it, her "Golden Dance" was really sensational!]

[Actually, I think Gan Yanyu’s "Cello Concerto in E minor" was better... How could this happen.]

[Feels like there’s still a gap compared to Bai Xi, but after all, being 18 and getting the first runner-up is amazing!]

Most comments revolved around Gan Yanyu and Bai Xi.

These comments were relatively friendly.

There were also some less friendly ones:

[What a mess! With fans hyping up so fiercely, and yet only came in second?]

[Honestly, Gan Yanyu’s fans are the most extreme I’ve seen online, hyped up so much, how comfortable it must be now!]

[...]

"Lin Tian."

Gan Yanyu’s sudden call.

Pulled Lin Tian’s attention back,

"Ah?"

"Do you want to play a duet?"

"Now?"

Lin Tian glanced at the papers on the table, which he had prepared to write later,

"We don’t really have a problem with instrumental music, let’s strengthen our knowledge of music theory first."

"Oh."

"Also, playing a duet doesn’t seem to help much with our arts exams, does it?"

"Okay."

Gan Yanyu nodded and didn’t say anything more.

After looking at the book for a while, Gan Yanyu stood up,

"I’m going home to rest."

"So early?"

"I’m too tired today."

"Alright."

"Hmm."

Gan Yanyu got up and left.

"....."

Watching the closing door, Lin Tian had a confused look in his eyes.

Was this... being affected or not affected?

If it was a blow... it didn’t seem like this should be the reaction.

It doesn’t look like it at all, does it?

.....

After leaving Lin Tian’s home,

Gan Yanyu didn’t go home but went alone to the first floor, took out the keys, and opened the door of the cafe.

Turning on the light, she looked at the white carpet on the floor.

Spread her arms.... and lay down.

Then.....

Started to roll frantically.

"....."

"Damn it, damn it, stupid Yanyu!!"

"How could this be! How could this be!!"

"Yanyu, you are so useless!!!"

Gan Yanyu, holding her head, rolled back and forth on the carpet.

Her crystal clear eyes were filled with resentment and grievance.

All that filled her mind was that day at the competition.

Bai Xi had stood before her, with eyes that seemed capable of ensnaring souls, asking Lin Tian if he could listen to her solo...

Completely ignoring her presence.

Back then, Lin Tian said he was "not interested."

But now,

She lost, she truly lost.

She lost to Bai Xi.

Lin Tian...

Would he go to Bai Xi?

After all, Bai Xi was really pretty, and she played the cello so well, capable of handling any style, classical music must also be something she could play well...

No matter how you think about it, Lin Tian had every reason to agree to Bai Xi’s request, to listen to her performance!

Listening to it... there was a chance he could be taken away.

She and Lin Tian were just partners, not a couple.

It’s always shown like this on TV, only the husband will always stay by your side, but a partner... won’t!

Gan Yanyu, clutching her head, curled up like a squirrel, and continued to roll...

"Ding Dong—"

Just then,

The doorbell of the cafe suddenly rang.

Gan Yanyu quickly sat up.

Perhaps out of a guilty conscience, she thought it was Lin Tian.

But this was the front door.

So late... who would come to the cafe...

Could it be Bai Xi?

Gan Yanyu stood up and walked over.

Approaching slowly, the silhouette outside the glass door gradually became clear.

It was a blond figure.

"..."

"Hmph, Gan Yanyu, I heard you lost at the Star Cup! Ha! So useless, in this world, other than me, Nannali, there’s actually someone else who can defeat you..."

As soon as the door was opened, Nannali kept nagging non-stop.

Gan Yanyu, with a stern little face, was about to close the door again.

"....Stop, stop, stop!"

Nannali quickly stretched out her hand, blocking the door gap.

The blond girl stared at Gan Yanyu, clenched her teeth, and said loudly:

"Gan Yanyu, I came to tell you, no matter how miserably you lost at the Star Cup, don’t get discouraged! Get some good rest, eat on time, and come to the Yingqin Cup with high spirits! The competition for the champion and runner-up of the Yingqin Cup can only be between us two!!"
