Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 166 - 135 Gan Yanyu Didn’t Lose

"Oh... okay."

Lin Tian was a bit stunned, but then he gathered and kept the letter.

Upon seeing Lin Tian accept the letter, Gan Yanyu’s eyes curved, finally revealing a smile.

"By the way, I have something I want to say to you too."

Lin Tian remembered, and subsequently, took Gan Yanyu into the house.

After Gan Yanyu sat down on the couch, Lin Tian stood in front of her.

"It’s about the competition the day before yesterday."

"I feel that I am also responsible for this loss. We should bear it together, but making you endure it alone was my mistake!"

Lin Tian spoke earnestly.

His senses were still rather dull.

No matter what.

After losing the competition, Gan Yanyu must have felt terrible, and as her partner, Lin Tian should share the burden with her.

The failure was not just Gan Yanyu’s to bear, but both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s.

Yet, Lin Tian had acted like a spectator, watching everything unfold.

He didn’t even know what Yanyu was thinking.

In fact, Lin Tian should have guessed earlier.

Someone like Gan Yanyu, who has something on her mind, would definitely tell him.

And when she didn’t speak, chose to solve the problem by escaping.

This matter in itself should not be underestimated.

As partners, they should be more attentive to each other’s emotions!

It couldn’t be the case where Gan Yanyu only needed to play the cello well, and as the one working backstage, he had more to consider—such a mindset disparity, right?

"..."

Gan Yanyu’s pupils slightly dilated, staring blankly at Lin Tian.

"You don’t need to apologize for such things."

"Then what were you referring to when you said I ’escaped’ just now?"

Lin Tian furrowed his brows. "Do I seem like someone who would abandon their partner and flee?"

"No..."

Gan Yanyu hastily waved her hand.

She didn’t know how to explain this.

Speaking of "partners"... it’s hard to say.

Saying such things would be too harsh.

It’s not the time to mention "Bai Xi" either... that would seem too deliberate.

"Just take it as if I’m talking nonsense..."

"Eh? How can it be nonsense?"

You should know, Lin Tian is most sensitive to the term "escape."

He himself has personally experienced it twice!

It’s like PTSD— as soon as someone mentions to Lin Tian that someone is planning to flee, he’s definitely going to react.

"But it’s you, don’t you dare flee!"

Lin Tian pointed at Gan Yanyu, speaking earnestly.

Having experienced people leaving one after another, Lin Tian, who had gone through it himself, now finds it hard to trust anyone.

Perhaps, having lost the competition and with a broken spirit, Gan Yanyu might just disappear tomorrow after waking up, leaving only a letter filled with regrets, just like a situation in a music video...

It really seemed like something Gan Yanyu would do.

For some reason.

Even though it felt like he and Gan Yanyu were so close.

This girl always gave Lin Tian a feeling of being within reach yet out of touch, as if he had never really grasped her...

"I won’t run," said Gan Yanyu.

"Then don’t talk nonsense anymore."

Lin Tian said.

That ended the topic!

"It was just a Star Cup, losing is losing, cheer up!"

"Okay!"

...

As the two opened up to each other, Lin Tian finally felt much better, and the learning times ahead became much easier.

At noon, Lin Tian received a message.

He Zhichen wanted to invite them for an afternoon tea.

This new agent seemed to have important matters to discuss with them.

Lin Tian agreed, and Gan Yanyu just happened to go home to change her clothes.

After Gan Yanyu left...

Lin Tian immediately took out the envelope that had been in his pocket.

Placed it on the table and stared intently at it!

The letter written by Gan Yanyu...

What on earth could it be that he couldn’t open it now??

Since taking it from Lin Tian and putting it in his pocket, he had been pondering this question, but hesitated to look at it because Gan Yanyu was beside him.

How could he not be curious!

And to say "Gan Yanyu’s secret."

Why not call it "Gan Yanyu’s Victoria’s Secret"?

Lin Tian wouldn’t pretend anymore; tonight, he would tear it open and observe.

Something that can only be spoken after achieving a dream...

Such a secret must be significant.

Lin Tian couldn’t think of what else Gan Yanyu was hiding from him.

He always thought Gan Yanyu was quite innocent.

Seemingly, her mind occupied only with music and food every day.

Such a person actually cannot hide things well, because once she shows interest in other matters... it definitely indicates a problem.

Like yesterday, when Gan Yanyu was troubled, she really couldn’t hide it at all, and Lin Tian could easily notice it.

In fact, why by writing a letter.

Usually, only words difficult to voice are conveyed through writing.

Moreover, why can’t it be spoken now...

No, what kind of words, why can’t she say them face to face after achieving her dreams?

At that time, wouldn’t it be the same if she handed the letter to him in person?

Why bother writing a letter to keep him in suspense...

Lin Tian couldn’t figure it out no matter what.

Looking at the letter on the table, his burning eyes wishing they could see through it.

He felt a strong impulse to tear it open now... or just buy a new pink sealing wax and seal it back up; Gan Yanyu might not even notice.

Lin Tian picked up the letter... and finally, put it down again.

Remembering how Gan Yanyu looked up and pleaded with him just now.

Forget it...

Lin Tian returned to the bedroom, pulled open the drawer of the bedside table, and stuffed the letter inside.

To prevent himself from coming back and tearing it open.

From today, forget its existence.

...

...

Starbucks.

The calm afternoon, the relaxed atmosphere.

After Lin Tian sipped a mouthful of coffee through a straw that was so bitter he almost spat it out, but swallowed it fearing that he’d be called unsophisticated.

He Zhichen moved the tablet to the front of the two of them.

On it, was a list.

Professors from various Music Academies, experts from provincial Music Associations, performers from renowned orchestras...

"What is this?"

"The composition of the jury for this Star Cup."

He Zhichen said,

"The jury for this Star Cup consists of a total of 12 members."

"Among these 12, there is a former orchestra conductor, an art advisor of the organizing company, a chief editor of local music media, two well-known composers from Qingjiang, two famous music critics, two specially invited international judges, and three professors from the Music Academy."

"Why mention this now?" Lin Tian didn’t quite understand.

The competition was lost; analyzing the composition of the jury now seemed a bit late.

And knowing these identities, what could be done about it?

"Teacher Lin Tian, let me finish."

He Zhichen seriously stated,

"Since this year, due to the prevailing political correctness in the music industry aligning with the International Music Association, this trend has gradually extended to local competitions. Many industry practitioners have started to follow the aesthetic judgment of the International Music Association, which is quite obvious in the official media."

"So?"

"So, let’s take another look at the composition of this jury."

He Zhichen placed his finger on the list,

"With the specially invited international judges at the forefront, along with music critics and music media editors...they are all supporters of the International Music Association’s assessment standards, making up about 41.67% of the twelve-member jury!"

"This 41.67% of the jury, having a pessimistic outlook on classical music, obviously favored Bai Xi’s pop music!"

With this, He Zhichen put away the tablet and spoke earnestly,

"So, Teacher Gan Yanyu, this time, it wasn’t a loss in capability! Even it could be said, looking at the scoring data, Teacher Gan Yanyu didn’t lose in her performance!"
