Chapter 97: Chapter 89: Review of the Concert
Gan Yanyu, who had been on a leave of absence for over a year, was about to return to school, and it was no small matter.
In fact, the most impressive thing about Gan Yanyu was that during her year in the UK, she actually came back once.
She had taken her academic proficiency test.
So now, resuming her studies, she could enter her senior year with no additional burden.
Letting someone who hasn’t been to school for over a year suddenly return and directly enter the most intense period of their senior year, the pressure is truly a bit great.
First and foremost, the most important thing is psychological construction.
To be honest...
Lin Tian didn’t know where exactly Gan Yanyu had "recovered."
Although her weight... after unremitting efforts, had reached that of a normal person’s.
Her figure had also become fabulous.
But is there not a possibility.
Wasn’t it that Gan Yanyu hadn’t been able to return to school because of her physical health, to begin with?
It was purely a mental issue.
Judging from her performance at the concert a few days ago... it’s hard to say that Gan Yanyu is now a normal person!
However, Lin Tian, deeply influenced by her, didn’t have the right to comment on it.
"..."
After bringing Gan Yanyu to the inner room, Lin Tian went to the water dispenser and poured her a glass of water.
"Thank you."
Gan Yanyu held up her cup of water, sitting politely on the sofa, sipping the water with super small movements like a well-behaved hamster.
Lin Tian was used to Gan Yanyu’s courtesy.
After all, no matter how many times Gan Yanyu visited his home, she always behaved as if it was her first time being a guest.
Lin Tian had no solution for this.
Perhaps, only by making her the mistress of this house could the situation be changed.
"Have the media reports come out yet?"
Lin Tian sat down at another corner of the sofa and asked.
This "Resonance of Souls" concert, to put it bluntly, wasn’t even a competition, and good feedback wouldn’t result in any award.
But the reason Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu had put in so much effort was that several professional music media from Qingzhou had been present on the scene.
The importance of these professional media reviews and their influence in the entire Qingzhou music scene were far greater than the concert itself!
"Some have been released, but ’NQ’ will only be out on Sunday. Their weekly report is usually published on Sunday," Gan Yanyu said.
NQ refers to the previously mentioned NobleQuest.
As the locally recognized most authoritative music media, with the highest circulation of serialized physical magazines in the music magazine market across the province, its reviews were critically important.
"Still waiting until Sunday, huh..."
Lin Tian felt a bit disappointed; the most torturous part was the wait after the performance.
It was like having just finished an exam, needing to wait a few days to find out the score.
But until the results are out, even if you feel very good about yourself, you dare not start popping champagne.
Especially after witnessing a certain professional contestant, who laughed uncontrollably underestimating his opponent during the draw, the memory was still fresh in Lin Tian’s mind.
Actually, this performance made Lin Tian quite nervous.
After all, truth be told, the first two pieces, "Ode to Love" and "Kangkang Dance," did not reach their normal level of performance.
The third piece...
It was just too crazy.
Lin Tian now thinks back and still feels that at that moment, he was assimilated by Gan Yanyu to a certain degree.
If he had to dissect it, then he admits, knowing that there was no way, no matter what, to alleviate Gan Yanyu’s pain.
So, he chose the most extreme method.
In an almost masochistic way, he achieved a unity of mind and soul with the girl through the performance.
Before, "No. 40 Symphony," no matter how many times the two of them played it, they always felt it was just tracing the outline with a brush. Lin Tian could not converse with the soul through music like Gan Yanyu. He could not keep up with Gan Yanyu’s frequency, and Gan Yanyu also didn’t understand Lin Tian’s inner thoughts.
But at that moment...
Under the extreme pressure, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, indeed truly, achieved a hundred percent resonance.
Their excitement and swelling emotions, tension, and anger, perfectly... resonated with the "No. 40 Symphony."
Hence, that performance was born... the most ultimate performance!
Regarding this performance,
to say it was purely a stroke of unbelievable luck is not at all an exaggeration.
Because, in the beginning, Lin Tian really hadn’t thought that much; he essentially went in with the mentality of "taking a gamble."
Unexpectedly, the gamble paid off.
He made a silent resolve...
Such risky maneuvers, having been through this once, couldn’t possibly be done again.
First of all, it’s impossible that their resonance would perfectly match the theme of the music every time.
Furthermore, even if Lin Tian really did such a crazy thing, it might not have the desired effect – he could end up exhausted and collapsing on the way to the concert...
More importantly,
If he did it again, Lin Tian would be killed by his neighbors.
"..."
Of course, what’s more important than the most important,
There was no guarantee that Gan Yanyu wouldn’t be the first to fall...
Thinking of this,
Lin Tian snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head abruptly,
"Mr. Gan, after the concert that day, did your asthma act up?"
"It was okay, just felt a bit stuffy in the chest after I got home."
Gan Yanyu covered her chest, as if recalling the sensations from that day,
"I sat quietly for a while, took my medicine, and then it was fine..."
"How did you manage that?"
Lin Tian was somewhat astonished.
Based on what he knew of Gan Yanyu’s condition, the guy had played the concert with his condition full on, and it would have been quite possible for him to just collapse afterwards.
At that time, seeing Gan Yanyu in good shape surprised Lin Tian, and he didn’t expect that she would also be okay after getting home?
"What was different about your performing state at that concert compared to usual?" Lin Tian asked.
He had a hunch.
Perhaps, this could be the key to helping Gan Yanyu completely overcome the nightmares brought by her illness!
The girl tilted her head, staring at the ceiling.
She fell into deep thought.
"The difference... Maybe more sleep?"
"What were you thinking during that time?"
"You."
"Eh?"
Lin Tian was taken aback.
At this point, Gan Yanyu played with her fingers, looking both aggrieved and angry.
"I wanted to stand up from the stage and smash your head with the bow! Stupid pig Lin Tian!"
Gan Yanyu’s eyes were filled with reproach,
"How could I think about anything else when you made me worry so much?"
At the time, Gan Yanyu even thought that Lin Tian had done this purposely just to worry her.
But, observing what happened afterwards.
Gan Yanyu realized.
Lin Tian was just a pure fool!
"...I’m sorry!"
Lin Tian pressed his hands together and sincerely bowed his head.
"It’s... it’s okay... You’re not hurt or anything."
Seeing Lin Tian apologizing so earnestly made Gan Yanyu feel embarrassed,
"Next time, don’t do such dangerous things, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise I’ll pull your hair out!"
Gan Yanyu tried to look fierce, with widened eyes, attempting to make Lin Tian aware that if she really got angry, the consequences would be dire!
"I generally don’t pull hair."
Lin Tian said with an embarrassed expression, then continued,
"So, the reason you didn’t have an attack was because you were only worried about me at the time and didn’t think about anything else?"
Well, this is a disaster!
It’s not like before every performance, I have to do some kind of self-harm, right?
That would make me the king of masochists!
