Chapter 211: Su Ran’s Confession Tutorial (Extra Update) (Please Vote for Me)
G minor 5th Hungarian Dance.
A work composed by the renowned Romantic composer Johannes Brahms in the 19th century.
This German musician gained fame throughout his life for his profound musical achievements and an extensive collection of works.
Among them, his most proud works would be the Hungarian Dance series. These are a series of 21 piano pieces he composed based on Hungarian folk tunes.
And the “5th” is one of its most famous compositions.
To be honest,
After surviving through the Star Cup, preliminaries, and semi-finals rounds,
Lin Tian wished that he and Teacher Gan could end this Parrot Zither Cup journey in a relaxed and calm manner.
He didn’t want to consider how significant this competition was.
He didn’t want to think about what consequences might arise if they lost.
Just enjoy the stage, enjoy the game.
It had nothing to do with the fact that even if he lost, he would still like to confess but feared that Teacher Gan would be too upset to hear him out.
It was simply because, honestly, Lin Tian just wanted Gan Yanyu to lay off the pressure in the finals.
The G minor 5th Hungarian Dance is filled with Hungarian music characteristics, such as fast tempo, unique melody, and rich emotional expression.
Moreover, it integrates elements from Hungarian folk dances, such as syncopated rhythms, strong beats, and catchy tunes.
Rich in emotion, passionate, vibrant.
That’s exactly how this piece can be described.
They don’t need to overthink it; both of them can easily get through this composition.
Then, everything else would be up to fate.
Lin Tian had it all figured out.
During the performance of the composition,
When her emotions were at their peak, she was most stirred up and not yet cooled down,
Confessing at this moment would definitely seal his win!
Lin Tian was mentally prepping himself for this grand scene.
“Lin Tian.”
Gan Yanyu’s call snapped him back to reality.
The teenage girl tilted her head, revealing a puzzled expression,
“Why Hungarian?”
“Good question,” Lin Tian thought for a moment, “I’ve recently been reading some Hungarian books and materials, which gave me inspiration.”
“I see.”
Gan Yanyu suddenly understood, “Can improving musical composition skills come from reading these books?”
“Who knows,”
“Indeed, after all, nobody can replace your talents, Lin Tian,”
Gan Yanyu said with a straight face.
The overly serious tone made Lin Tian feel a bit uncomfortable.
“In any case, let’s practice!”
The Parrot Zither Cup final is nearing its countdown phase.
These few days, Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian have been high-intensity practicing G minor 5th Hungarian Dance every day.
But Lin Tian noticed,
Teacher Gan’s anger didn’t seem to subside.
Well, to be fair, it wasn’t really anger,
Because Teacher Gan was acting normal—no problems with any exchanges or activities.
But unlike before, it seemed she no longer spontaneously sat next to Lin Tian, engaging in physical contact.
Maybe he cared deeply about these touches before, so now he was more sensitive or something.
This worried Lin Tian, but there was no polite way to ask about it.
He couldn’t just say, “Why aren’t you rubbing against me with your arm anymore?”
It was madness.
But with the finals approaching, Lin Tian also couldn’t dwell on this matter.
Teacher Gan only needed to master the piece; Lin Tian had plenty to worry about.
Taking advantage of the weekend,
Lin Tian gathered Xu Yong and Su Ran together at once.
Inviting Xu Yong was reasonable enough.
Bringing Su Ran along was for multiple female perspectives.
In school, there were barely two people he could talk to anyway.
“Next week, after we win the match, I’ll confess my feelings to Gan Yanyu.”
At the dinner table,
Lin Tian cut to the chase right away.
Those words instantly had Su Ran almost spray out her milk tea.
Xu Yong remained calm, putting down his steak kn*fe and fork, crossing his arms,
“Fast forward to the Emperor Wei Wen,”
“Wait, Lin Tian,”
Su Ran wiped off the milk tea from her mouth and immediately looked up.
She had a key question:
“What if I lose the match, what then?”
“Don’t think about losing, let’s discuss the confession itself,” Lin Tian responded.
“So you’re saying you’re sure to win?”
Su Ran pouted slightly,
“Oh, oh, oh, do share, when did you decide to go for it? You two just debuted, has something embarrassed happened that you can’t take anymore?”
“That’s none of your business. Come on, Tian Ge has big things going on and called us here to strategize!”
Xu Yong sternly corrected.
“Alright,” Su Ran closed her lips, feeling somewhat ashamed.
Xu Yong waved his hands excitedly, “Follow me, you just have to grab her, trust me, she won’t stand a chance.”
“Help!”
Su Ran covered her head, wondering why she’d been dragged into this with someone like this.
“Su Ran,”
Lin Tian started speaking,
“Aren’t you chatting a lot with Gan Yanyu?”
“Huh?”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “We talked for a while a bit ago, but lately, not much.”
“What did you chat about?”
“Mmm, some girls’ topics,”
“Do you think she likes me?”
Lin Tian stared directly into Su Ran’s eyes, asking bluntly.
“Loves you! Loves you so much!”
“?”
Lin Tian froze.
Su Ran cupped her cheeks and coquettishly replied,
“Loves you so much, wants to be Lin Tian’s partner forever,”
“Not that kind of love!”
Lin Tian complained.
Sure enough, as expected,
No matter where you read it,
The bond between Gan Yanyu and himself always remained intertwined with “music.”
If there was no music, Lin Tian wouldn’t even know what relationship he and Gan Yanyu had.
“Anyway no,”
Su Ran curved her brows, speaking provocatively,
“In fact, it’s easy to understand that little Gan. If you know this, I know this, it’s clear now—faking any other hope is pointless, she currently doesn’t have any romantic feelings towards you.”
“You’re lying to me!”
“But I can teach you.”
“Master.”
Lin Tian grabbed Su Ran’s hand, speaking seriously,
“I believe in you. Just speak even more straightforward,”
“I feel Xu Yong might actually have a point.”
“Huh? You mean—”
“No, no,”
Su Ran supported her chin and smiled,
“Before your official match starts, you can do something very radical that you’ve never done before, stir up her hormones, make her realize that apart from being partners, you’re a ‘man’ and she’s a ‘woman’!”
