Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 165 - 134 Gan Yanyu’s Letter

Upon hearing this, Gan Yanyu, who had still been blocking the door, suddenly became dazed.

Her hand loosened, and Nannali pushed the door open.

"..."

Entering, Nannali looked around:

"So late, you’re practicing the violin alone? Where’s your partner, Lin Tian?"

"He..."

"You really are...."

Looking at Gan Yanyu’s listless face, Nannali couldn’t hold back her anger. Pointing at her nose, she shouted furiously,

"What do you think my attitude was when I came to Qingjiang?!"

"I followed my mom from the UK to Zhonghua for her job, I applied to a university in Zhonghua just to catch up with you... to come here, to defeat you in the cellist circles of Zhonghua!"

"I don’t just want to beat you at the Yingqin Cup, I want to defeat you at the Dragon Violin Cup too, I want to beat you over and over, and regain everything I’ve lost to you before!"

"This is the mindset I came here with, I’m begging you to also take it seriously, alright? Don’t let me see you lose once and then just sit here in a daze!!"

"....."

A series of shouts ended.

Gan Yanyu was stunned.

She gazed at Nannali for a long time, zoning out.

"I.... actually wasn’t that devastated...." the girl said.

"Eh?"

Nannali stopped in her tracks, her hands falling to her sides,

"Really?"

"Teacher Bai Xi is very strong... it was within expectations for her to win the championship..."

"Then you....."

"Bai Xi, she has always wanted to perform with Lin Tian."

Gan Yanyu spoke softly,

"What if Lin Tian also thinks that he can perform better with Bai Xi...."

"Hah??"

Nannali narrowed her eyes.

She tried to organize her thoughts and tentatively said,

"So, you’re worried that if you lose the competition, your good partner Lin Tian will go practice with Bai Xi?"

"...."

Gan Yanyu didn’t say anything, which was as good as an acknowledgment.

"So what if that’s the case?"

Nannali still couldn’t understand,

"If your musical partner feels that he is stronger with someone else, then it’s inevitable if he chooses to go, right?"

"No, I don’t want that."

Gan Yanyu lifted her eyes,

"I know I’m terrible. I have all sorts of weird issues. I’m not good enough for Lin Tian...."

From the moment she became Lin Tian’s partner.

Gan Yanyu had always been trying very hard, very hard, to keep up with Lin Tian’s pace.

From regular training, to shooting videos, to their daily routines...

It was always Lin Tian who was handling everything.

The only thing Gan Yanyu could do was to play the cello well, and not to hold Lin Tian back during performances.

Lin Tian’s music is so well-composed.

It would be the same with anyone performing it...

Then why must that person be "Gan Yanyu"?

If it really must be herself performing,

then she definitely needs to be the best, better than any other cellist...

If she couldn’t do that,

then it would only be right for Lin Tian to go and collaborate and learn from more talented performers, given his abilities. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

If you gamble, you should accept your losses; it should be like this.

"But I don’t want to give up; even if I lose, I still don’t want to see him practicing with someone else!"

Gan Yanyu said.

"....."

Nannali’s gaze was blank.

She fell into thought.

"Wait... hang on, I’m saying..."

Nannali spread her hands, paused for a moment, and then said,

"Is this actually about not wanting to give up the partnership or are you...."

"Jealous?"

Jealous——

As these words came out,

Gan Yanyu’s expression visibly froze.

Snapping back to reality, she immediately waved her hands,

"No, our relationship isn’t like that..."

"But what you are showing is jealousy!"

Nannali placed her hands on her hips, imitating Gan Yanyu’s tone,

"What, like.... oh, I don’t want to see Lin Tian practice with anyone else~ I just want him to duet with me. I can’t stand it when he talks to other girls in the competition... Isn’t this jealousy?!!"

"...."

Gan Yanyu was completely at a loss for words.

The girl’s brain began to enter into an unprecedented contemplation.

...

Is this... what jealousy feels like?

Is this... the feeling of being jealous?

The mere sight of Lin Tian talking to other girls on the sports field made her uncomfortable.

Yet, Lin Tian hadn’t actually done anything.

But she, just because she lost the competition, couldn’t help but imagine in her mind Lin Tian abandoning her to partner up with Bai Xi...

"Nannali’s like, there’s no other duo as awkward as you two! You only act like this around someone you fancy!"

Nannali, looking as if she was frustrated at someone for not meeting their potential, watched Gan Yanyu, whom she’d seen defeat many on the field, now twisting and turning over such a small matter.

Indeed.

Love only affects the speed at which a cellist moves their bow!

Even someone as skilled as Gan Yanyu couldn’t escape it.

"Someone I... fancy?"

Gan Yanyu nodded slightly,

"No, we’re not like that, and we shouldn’t be."

"Still denying it?!"

Nannali’s eyes widened.

She thought she had finally persuaded Gan Yanyu.

"No... No, I shouldn’t be like that, someone like me..."

Gan Yanyu hung her head down,

"But... Nannali, thank you!"

Having said that, Gan Yanyu suddenly hugged Nannali.

"At least, I know what to say now!"

Then, the girl let go, slung the cello on her back, and turned to leave.

"....."

Leaving Nannali standing there, completely short-circuited like a robot, stiffly lifting her head and scratching her nose.

Her little face was incredibly red.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Lying in bed, Lin Tian stared at the ceiling in a daze.

His mind kept replaying Gan Yanyu’s demeanor from today.

When she left... should I have stopped her?

It all seemed so off.

After all, losing the competition, no matter how much she claims it doesn’t bother her...

It’s hard to convince anyone.

If I leave her be in her current state, something is bound to go wrong.

She’s probably somewhere right now, secretly wiping away tears...

Lin Tian grew more regretful as he thought about it.

Damn!

I should have stopped her, not let her go!

If we don’t communicate today, it will be too late by tomorrow.

When that happens, we might end up with Gan Yanyu completely shutting down...

...

The next day.

"Thump thump thump!"

Lin Tian opened the door and saw Gan Yanyu.

"Mr. Gan, I have something I want to tell you!"

"So do I!"

Lin Tian was cut off halfway through his sentence by Gan Yanyu’s interjection.

Lin Tian was taken aback and looked at her in surprise.

Then, Gan Yanyu took out a letter from her embrace.

And handed it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian accepted the envelope and immediately felt its substantial weight.

The envelope was sealed with pink wax.

"This is..."

"It’s a letter for you."

Gan Yanyu held her arms behind her back, bowed her head, with her hair obscuring her slightly flushed cheeks, she looked at the floor, stood on tiptoes, and said,

"I’m sorry, I thought too much yesterday, I didn’t communicate well with you, and I shouldn’t have assumed you’d just run off..."

"..."

Although he wanted to retort, "run off" in what sense?

But,

In Lin Tian’s heart, there suddenly was a feeling that something that had been clogged for a long time had been cleared.

What the...

So, I didn’t have to do anything, and she adjusted all by herself in one night...

Lin Tian looked at the letter in his hand again.

What era is this, still writing traditional letters...

He was about to open it, but Gan Yanyu’s hand reached out to stop him.

"Inside here, lies my secret."

The girl lifted her eyes and with a beseeching and gentle gaze,

"Promise me... Tian, the day when we both have achieved our dreams, open it then, will you?"
