Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 73 - 71: Big Trouble Brewing

Are you not falling behind on your schoolwork?

For Lin Tian, who has been busy with music during this time, it’s indeed not an easy task.

At least, Lin Tian surely can’t be as lazy as before.

However, considering that if he could keep it up, next month, he would have an entire month off to prepare for the art college entrance exams...

"Okay."

Lin Tian agreed.

"Alright."

Zhang Juan nodded her head, and then ordered Lin Tian to sit down.

She said earnestly and with feeling:

"Lin Tian, although the teacher doesn’t know why you suddenly want to pursue a music career, I understand your dreams and hope you can understand the teacher, too."

"You are one of the students that the school pays close attention to. If your grades drop, as the class headteacher, the academic affairs office will come asking me questions, so I hope you can understand the teacher’s difficulty..."

"Okay, Mrs. Zhang."

Lin Tian expressed his full understanding.

To be honest, with his experience in high school across two lifetimes, Mrs. Zhang is certainly an outstanding class headteacher.

What Lin Tian could do was assure Mrs. Zhang:

"I won’t let you down."

...

...

Leaving the teacher’s office.

The noon sun spilled over the playground, and the students who had left school for lunch break were mostly gone, leaving the area deserted.

Lin Tian walked across the playground with Xu Yong.

Thinking back to what just happened in the office, Xu Yong spoke up:

"So, Zhonghua Music College is your choice?"

"Yeah."

"With Gan Yanyu?"

"Right."

"Did she invite you?"

"Are you kidding?"

Lin Tian was puzzled about how Xu Yong had guessed so accurately.

"Because when I asked you the other day what university you wanted to apply to, you looked confused."

Xu Yong, with his hands clasped behind his neck, had a laid-back manner,

"Now you’re all of a sudden so determined. Aside from a woman, I can’t think of anything that can bring such a big change to a man..."

"Even though what you’re saying is a bit exaggerated, it’s true in my case."

Lin Tian laughed without disputing it.

He admitted to himself that Gan Yanyu indeed changed him in some ways.

But as expected of Xu Yong, whose mind is always on women.

Even when he’s serious, he can still say something so shocking.

"Plus, haven’t you noticed? You’ve changed quite a bit recently."

"What change?"

"You’ve become more refined."

"In front of you, everyone’s refinement has room to decrease, right?"

"I’m mostly just blabbering, but Lin Tian, you used to be really harsh."

Xu Yong suddenly fell into reminiscence and said,

"Have you forgotten about that girl in our first year of high school who got pregnant and gave birth in the dormitory toilet, and the baby nearly fell into the plumbing? We’d joke about it in private, but when you met her on the street, you asked her where her drop-resistant baby had gone..."

"..."

This kind of blunt confrontation does seem to be something I’m rather fond of doing.

"Now it’s different, Tian, you seem to be getting more serious. You don’t blabber as much anymore, and you haven’t been busting my chops for a while..."

"If you want to be measured, I can oblige you."

"No need for that..."

Xu Yong hurriedly coughed twice in feigned discomfort.

Although he himself is the blabbering king, when it comes to direct confrontation, he definitely can’t last two rounds in front of Lin Tian.

Even if Lin Tian had already given him a head start of two household registration books.

It’s just that, seeing Lin Tian now has his own pursuits, next month, he’ll be preparing for the art exam and then moving in a completely different direction from himself.

Xu Yong suddenly felt a bit sentimental that it’s probably going to be difficult to sit down and have a good chat like this again.

"I just feel that you’ve become gentler recently..."

"Your talk is getting more and more disgusting."

"Actually, I’ve seen this situation before."

Xu Yong said very seriously, "A guy who’s usually not that proper suddenly becomes gentle and such..."

"Chances are, he’s in love."

"..."

At this point, Lin Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Xu Yong also stopped.

You look at me, I look at you.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Xu Yong asked in confusion:

"Have you never thought about it?"

"I, I’ve never thought about it."

"But what you two are doing now, doesn’t it look very much like a couple?"

"We’re partners, right?"

"Don’t you have feelings for her?"

"..."

Lin Tian fell silent.

The 18-year-old Lin Tian, right in the midst of his most vigorous teenage years... ah well, a man is forever young at heart.

How could he have possibly not thought about it?

Especially, the other day, when Gan Yanyu suddenly fell ill, something rather ambiguous happened between them...

To be honest,

Lin Tian rather enjoyed it.

Nobody would refuse to be treated with large gestures of affection.

But, as for love and such, he hadn’t thought about that.

Not just himself.

Lin Tian felt, Gan Yanyu probably wouldn’t go in that direction either.

After all, she had repeatedly emphasized that they must not do anything over the line, and she has always been quite restrained in front of him... although this might also have to do with her personality.

But most importantly,

the two of them had so many things to do, creations, music, competitions...

It seemed like every single thing was more important than these nonsensical thoughts.

Both of them were working their tails off, striving for a common goal.

If one of them started thinking about love and affection.

It would certainly be a betrayal for the other.

"I think, if you didn’t like her, you wouldn’t do so much for her, right?"

Although Xu Yong didn’t know the whole story or Lin Tian’s thoughts,

based on the fragmented information he had gathered recently, Lin Tian seemed to be quite dedicated to this girl.

"You’re thinking too much."

Lin Tian walked ahead, turned around to his brother whose head was full of girls,

raised his index finger and said word by word:

"Love is only a very small part of life."

"There are many things in this world that are far more important than romance."

...

Despite some hiccups, the afternoon math exam came to an end.

Luckily, math was always Lin Tian’s forte. Even if he had slacked on practicing recently, as long as his brain wasn’t fried, he could still do well in the heat of the moment.

After school, Lin Tian carried his backpack home.

But when he arrived at his front door, he saw a familiar figure.

Gan Yanyu, dressed in casual clothes, was squatting at the entrance of his home.

If it were anyone else, Lin Tian might wonder if they were pulling some scam.

"What... are you doing?"

Lin Tian was stunned.

"Lin Tian, you’re finally back!"

Gan Yanyu hastily stood up from the ground.

But seemingly because she had been squatting for too long and her legs had become numb, when she abruptly stood up, her legs suddenly gave way.

"Ow!"

The girl stumbled forward a few steps.

Fortunately, Lin Tian quickly caught her to prevent her from falling.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Tian was amused by the comical scene.

"Something big happened!"

Gan Yanyu’s face showed an extremely panicked expression; she fumbled to take out her phone,

"Did you you you see the video we posted yesterday?"

"Not yet... what’s wrong?"

Lin Tian always liked to wait a while before checking comments. Gan Yanyu knew this too.

Now, seeing Gan Yanyu in such a state, Lin Tian also suddenly became anxious.

Could it be they were criticized?

Until the girl finally opened the comment section and showed it to Lin Tian,

Gan Yanyu’s eyes widened, biting her index finger:

"The whole internet is now saying that we’re boyfriend and girlfriend!!!"
