"Okay, let’s do it one more time."
Seeing Gan Yanyu’s enthusiasm, Lin Tian could only agree to the girl’s request.
"Actually, I feel that we’ve practiced enough to a very good level. Since the rehearsal is tomorrow morning, practicing again tonight won’t make much of a difference. Resting is the most important thing."
Lin Tian said patiently.
Moreover,
Lin Tian felt something was slightly off with Gan Yanyu today.
Like... her soul had left her body, she seemed to be out of sorts.
But after touching her forehead, she didn’t have a fever.
Considering Gan Yanyu occasionally exhibits strange symptoms, it wasn’t a new occurrence.
In any case, it’s better to let her go back to rest early.
"Mhm."
After drinking some beer, Gan Yanyu seemed to find some of her mojo back and quickly picked up the bow again.
There are actually people who use beer to perk themselves up...
Lin Tian can’t relate; he just wants to sleep after drinking.
For the last time!
This time, Lin Tian played the pieces in the order they would be performed at the concert.
Starting with "Ode to Love", he went through all three pieces.
"...."
Soon, Lin Tian began playing the piano.
Gan Yanyu, who just a moment ago seemed spaced out, quickly got into the zone as soon as the piano sounded.
Her bow, as if reacting subconsciously, struck the strings!
"♫~"
The room was again filled with harmonious music.
"..."
After the time it took for three pieces to play.
The last practice session came to a satisfying close.
The moment Lin Tian’s hands stopped, he felt an immense sense of relief.
This practice session was even better than the ensemble earlier!
"Our performance now, even if Mr. Gao Zhenyang were to listen, he wouldn’t be able to find fault!"
Lin Tian also said this to encourage Gan Yanyu, with full confidence.
At this point, Lin Tian felt quite sentimental.
From the initial stumbling and frequent mistakes to now being able to perform such a perfect ensemble, achieving such an amazing rapport...
It really wasn’t easy!
All of this couldn’t be separated from Gan Yanyu, the lead musician, who was able to bring the piece to such a standard.
If there was anything to worry about...
It would be Gan Yanyu’s condition.
After all, her illness was unpredictable.
As good as she played during rehearsal, when actually on stage and facing so many spectators, whether she could finish smoothly...
It was in the hands of fate.
Lin Tian could make an effort in everything, but Gan Yanyu’s illness often left him feeling helpless.
He could only hope that tomorrow morning’s dress rehearsal would give Gan Yanyu more confidence.
"Let’s call it a day, and get up early tomorrow to avoid any problems. We’ll take a rideshare, and since we’ll have earned some money, let’s not skimp where we shouldn’t... Also, I guess I should pick up the suit in the afternoon, I’ll wear casual clothes for the rehearsal..."
"Mr. Gan?"
Lin Tian started speaking again and discovered that Gan Yanyu had curiously become "unselectable" again.
It wasn’t until he reached out and placed a hand on Gan Yanyu’s head.
That the girl suddenly shuddered.
"Ah... ah? Okay!"
"Okay what, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard, I wear that to the dress rehearsal in a rideshare tomorrow..."
"...."
Lin Tian ruffled the girl’s hair thoroughly.
Her hair turned into a messy disarray.
She held her forehead, shrinking her neck in aggrievement, and looked at Lin Tian warily.
"Anyway, get up early tomorrow."
"And—"
"Okay! Okay! Rest!"
Lin Tian spelled it out, loudly and clearly to Gan Yanyu.
He was worried she might still be in the same state tomorrow.
"Understood!"
Gan Yanyu immediately straightened up like a new recruit responding to an officer’s command.
Her little blushed face was full of earnestness.
"Go on then."
Gan Yanyu picked up her cello, stood up, and with one hand, held the unfinished beer can in her mouth.
As she reached the door, the girl biting the beer can turned back,
"Lin... Lin Tian."
"What’s up?"
"Can I take a can of beer with me?"
"..."
The little glutton really loves her drink!
Still biting the unfinished one, she wanted another one.
Lin Tian sighed,
"Take it."
"Great~"
Gan Yanyu walked with a spring in her step to Lin Tian’s refrigerator, opened it.
From the right drawer, she took out a can of beer.
Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but want to laugh.
This kid, she knew too well where the beer was stored in his fridge, as if it was her own home.
"Let’s go."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight~"
"Bang!"
The door closed.
The living room became quiet again.
Lin Tian lay on the couch, yawning heavily.
After a whole day of classes and immediate piano practice upon returning, he was really a bit tired.
So, today Lin Tian didn’t even watch the video of the decaying rat.
He finished the alcohol on the desk and then shut down the computer.
For tomorrow’s dress rehearsal, he had already asked for leave from the class teacher in advance, using sick leave as an excuse.
Fortunately for a student with his academic record, Teacher Zhang Juan was always very accommodating, and Lin Tian easily got the leave approved.
After taking a shower, Lin Tian went to bed first.
...
...
In the deep of the night.
Lin Tian was awoken by an urge to urinate.
He got up to use the bathroom.
It was 2:13 AM.
That was the consequence of going to bed early.
Having drunk a large can of beer, his body hadn’t even metabolized it yet.
It was quite normal to have a bursting bladder in the middle of the night.
Passing through the living room, with the faint light from the bathroom, Lin Tian saw the beer cans in the trash can again.
Suddenly, he remembered,
Tonight, Gan Yanyu had stayed up practicing the violin on the spur of alcohol...
This silly girl,
Before leaving, she also took a bottle of beer with her...
"..."
Suddenly,
Lin Tian’s brow slightly furrowed.
He drank to help him sleep.
Gan Yanyu drank for energy.
Then,
When she took a bottle of beer with her on her way home, it was for...
Lin Tian dressed and left the house.
...
Since the weekend, Lin Tian had already noticed something was off with Gan Yanyu.
Her reactions were slow, and she spoke sluggishly.
Occasionally, she would yawn for an extended period.
Considering Gan Yanyu’s recent abnormal pace of study.
Lin Tian had a vague idea in his mind.
Simply put, it was a lack of sleep.
However, because Gan Yanyu always performed so well during their duets, Lin Tian didn’t take it too seriously.
Moreover, just before Lin Tian left, he had seriously instructed Gan Yanyu to rest well.
He thought... even if this girl pushed herself, she ought to rest well the night before the dress rehearsal, after his lecture.
But...
Lin Tian climbed six floors in one go.
He arrived at the "603" door.
Just as he was about to knock on the door,
The neighbor’s "602" door opened at that moment.
An elderly lady came out, glanced at Lin Tian, and walked over.
"Are you a friend of the young lady here?"
The old lady squinted at Lin Tian and asked.
Lin Tian didn’t know what was going on and could only nod.
"Yes."
"Ah, you need to talk to your friend. Though her apartment is soundproofed and doesn’t disturb anyone, I’m worried about her when she keeps up like this every night..."
"What happened?"
Lin Tian had an ominous premonition.
"Since last week, I don’t know what’s gotten into this girl... She’s been playing the cello every night until several hours past midnight. Tonight, she started again, and nobody answers when I knock on her door..."
The elderly lady, looking worried, leaned on her arm, and said,
"I mean, it’s one thing to do this at night, but she’s also playing during the day. I’m really concerned about this girl; if she can take it... if she’s been possessed by something unclean..."
"..."
"Bang bang bang!"
Lin Tian started banging on the door fiercely.
"Gan Yanyu! Open the door!"
Lin Tian didn’t know if Gan Yanyu was possessed by a ghost.
All he knew was that he needed to become a fierce spirit now and teach Gan Yanyu a lesson!
"Bang bang bang!"
"Gan Yanyu, open the door!!"
Lin Tian banged on the door once more.
"..."
"Click—"
The sound of the lock opening.
The door slowly cracked open.
"Ah... ah?"
A disheveled, pajama-clad girl cautiously poked her head out.
Lin Tian noticed that behind her, the floor was littered with beer cans.
