Chapter 291: Little Gan Has Been Dying to Dance! (4k)
“Huh?”
Lin Tian was taken aback.
In an instant, his memory flashed back to the scene in the recording studio several days ago.
So that’s what she meant back then!
Lin Tian recalled Gan Yan Yu’s hesitant demeanor at the time.
He originally thought she had something against the piece!
Seeing that Gan Yan Yu wasn’t happy, he almost had objections against Strauss for having such a smooth-sailing life.
It’s because you, you scoundrel, have had a great time your whole life, leaving our Little Gan Classmate unable to dig out any deep and bitter emotions from your tune! You’re fully responsible!
And recalling Zhang Dong’s live stream earlier, Lin Tian finally understood that when Gan Yan Yu was moving her fingers in the air, she wasn’t mimicking a cello but actually just getting into the dance pose.
“I found this waltz so good; skipping it would be such a shame. It would help our performance too,” Little Gan whispered.
“Then why didn’t you say so directly?” Lin Tian was stunned.
What’s the problem with saying it straight?
It’s just a dance, nothing big.
We’re longtime partners, should we still be hesitant?
“I thought you might have had your own reasons,” said Gan Yan Yu.
Even if it’s a waltz, what’s there left to think about?
Lin Tian was speechless at Gan Yan Yu’s half-hearted excuse.
But, it is after all Gan Yan Yu.
That’s quite normal for her.
She’s that kind of person who feels awkward to voice her concerns directly, opting for more subtle ways.
“Did you already have a plan?” Lin Tian asked.
Given how she seemed to want to dance the first time she saw the sheet music, she must have come up with some good ideas.
Her question sent Gan Yan Yu into a flurry.
“Let’s discuss it face-to-face!”
After twenty whole minutes.
Finally, in the café, Lin Tian waited for little Gan.
The young woman wore an elegant white dress with a cutout chest and light makeup. Clearly, she had prepared meticulously.
Isn’t this just a chat about ideas? Why the full gear?
Lin Tian admired Gan Yan Yu’s sense of action.
“Come on, Lin Tian!”
Gan Yan Yu seemed energized, urging Lin Tian as soon as she arrived.
“Oh, oh,”
Before Lin Tian could react,
Gan Yan Yu grabbed his hand and pulled him forward.
Lin Tian stared blankly at their clasped hands, too dazed to register it.
Gan Yan Yu took out her phone,
“This part, I’ve already figured out,”
She played “Voices of Spring” on her phone and slid to the climax part.
With vibrant notes ringing,
Gan Yan Yu held Lin Tian’s hand, moving her feet along the rhythm.
Forward, right,
“Now, just like this… here, we turn,”
Gan Yan Yu looked at her steps intently, saying softly.
Now, there’s no point asking why a ‘duet dance,’ right?
Lin Tian followed her lead hesitantly.
Back and forth amidst the music.
This ought to be called Gan Yan Yu’s “original dance.”
There was no challenge.
Just simple movements, mainly following the beat of the music.
To Lin Tian’s surprise,
Gan Yan Yu’s creativity was legit, not just talk.
She really made it all coherent. Following her led easily got Lin Tian immersed in the music.
As the piano echoes filled the café,
Suddenly changing tone, Guan Yan Yu let go of Lin Tian and went for several spins before returning.
???
Not even a single spin?
Lin Tian felt he did nothing while Guan Yan Yu had done everything.
Then what’s the purpose of being my partner?
“How do you feel?”
Gan Yan Yu seemed to have been waiting eagerly for Lin Tian’s evaluation as she handed over her long-gestated gift.
Clearly, she had put a lot of thought into this.
“I’m not a dancer, so I can’t handle high-difficulty moves.”
“Just the feeling I gathered while listening to this piece, I visualized it in my head…. When we were in the studio the other day, I had already planned this out,”
Lin Tian never expected that this ‘urge to dance’ was directed towards Gan Yan Yu.
“Not bad,” he remarked honestly.
Sure, the dance moves were simple, similar to “One Step Away.” But it fit the music perfectly.
Despite not knowing much about dance, Gan Yan Yu utilized her immense musical imagination to craft the steps. Here, visuals weren’t essential.
It was the feeling.
“Let’s sh**t it like this.”
Lin Tian freed his hand and took out his phone.
Opening the video camera, he propped it up.
“Eh, are you sure about this? This is pretty rough, right?”
Seeing Lin Tian take action, Gan Yan Yu panicked,
“Do you need to get Mr. He Zhicheng to review it, or even hire a professional dance instructor?”
“No.”
With confidence, Lin Tian set the camera rolling.
No need for grand productions or professional setups.
Ultimately, Lin Tian merely wanted to capture the “Voices of Spring Walthz” feeling visually.
A heartfelt effort would suffice, even without fancy production details.
“Alright.”
This time, Lin Tian took the initiative to extend his hand.
“Okay.”
Gan Yan Yu placed her hand in Lin Tian’s palm.
Just earlier, she had quickly and decisively grabbed Lin Tian.
But now, as Lin Tian took her hand again, a blush rose to her cheeks.
Isn’t this simply holding hands?
Strange, isn’t it?
Perhaps, it’s the power of “feeling.”
The gentle notes of the piano echoed again.
Together, they swayed on the wooden floor of the café, starting to glide.
Lin Tian held Gan Yan Yu with one hand while the other rested on her lower back.
Her waist remained so slender and soft.
Almost fragile…
Holding onto this huge figurine, Lin Tian found himself smiling involuntarily at the rhythm of the music.
The café filled with only beautiful music and footsteps.
Their gazes met repeatedly then glanced away, seemingly shy of each other’s silence.
“While dancing,” Lin Tian spoke up,
“Gan laoshi?”
“Yes?”
With such gentleness in her tone from the dancing state,
“Didn’t you say you needed to go home and discuss with your parents a few days ago?”
“Yes, I did,”
“So, what happened?”
“They agreed; I’ll visit them on New Year’s Eve to spend the day with them,”
“Alright.”
Lin Tian nodded.
Somehow, a slight disappointment lingered in his heart.
Naturally,
But for Gan Yan Yu, this certainly was the best choice.
Rather than endlessly pondering the matter, this way she could spend New Year’s Eve with her family and address necessary conversations.
For Gan Yan Yu,
If family wasn’t her biggest worry besides the Cole Cup,
Then clearly, it was.
Lin Tian reached out his palm, placing it atop Gan Yan Yu’s head.
The girl spun under his hand for several rounds.
Her white dress swirled through the air,
Then she stopped.
Gan Yan Yu looked at Lin Tian, smiling coyly and grabbed his hand again.
“To be honest, things didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped,”
“We were planning to stay in Qingzhou for a day, then move to Shanghai for a day, and eventually bring me back,”
“I considered it for a while. Although I could spend time with them, traveling out of town is a bit much for me.”
“Why don’t you just reject them?”
“These two troublemakers, no matter what, I wouldn’t trust them, Lin Tian insisted.”
Who knows if they will bring her back after dragging her away?
This is pretty much like human trafficking, right?
“I told them this, but they shrugged it off. It seems they haven’t given up hope,”
“So doesn’t that mean you’re still a goner?”
“Doesn’t that mean I won’t go?”
Guan Yan Yu tilted her head, looking at Lin Tian.
“That is not what I mean.”
“But, they are still my family.”
“Aaah.”
Lin Tian stayed quiet.
“Well.”
Seeming to understand Lin Tian’s thoughts,
Gan Yan Yu pondered carefully and stated,
“I’ll go talk to them and resolve this issue very soon,”
“You’re going back?”
Lin Tian was surprised.
Gan laoshi, addicted to negotiations?
How did I miss this sudden boldness in Gan Yan Yu?
Courage must be required for this, he thought.
“Gosh, it’s not easy,”
“Because one side is you, Lin Tian, and the other is”
Sighing, Gan Yan Yu’s gaze revealed profound sorrow.
“Alright,”
Lin Tian nodded, supporting her decision.
Since this could resolve her inner turmoil, he couldn’t argue.
Moments passed as the waltz’s melody surged once more.
On impulse, they widened their steps.
They glided on the ground as if on a giant ice rink.
Both of their bodies were light and airy,
sailing and soaring.
The feeling of spring, the feeling of freedom.
Then suddenly, Lin Tian felt,
Maybe, dancing wasn’t that bad.
With the music concluding,
their movements gently came to a halt.
“Complete,”
Lin Tian let go of her and moved to save the video.
Since it’s going to be a short video, why not make it snazier?
The previous footage was ample.
Right then,
“Gan Yan Yu shouted to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian turned around,
and Gan Yan Yu covered her abdomen, squatting down.
The young lady clenched her teeth, tightly furrowed brows revealing intense pain,
“My heart… it hurts,”
“What happened?!”
Lin Tian immediately set aside his phone and rushed over.
“Cough… cough—”
Gan Yan Yu covered her mouth and coughed violently.
“Should I call a doctor? What happened?”
At Lin Tian’s approach, Gan Yan Yu stretched out her hand from her mouth revealing a jelly.
“… Uh?”
“For you,”
Gan Yan Yu squatted on the ground, slowly unwrapping the jelly and extended it to Lin Tian’s mouth.
“Ah—”
Dumbfounded, Lin Tian opened his mouth and ate the candy.
Mango-flavored.
“You really overdo it with your jokes!!”
Lin Tian swallowed the jelly and exclaimed.
However, Gan Yan Yu unwrapped another, shoving it into his mouth once more.
“Didn’t you ask me to practice acting with you?”
Looking innocently at Lin Tian,
“My scene was supposed to show a girlfriend with a heart condition dramatically falling ill after their passionate moment.”
“Would someone really start with that kind of scene?”
Despite using the words “girlfriend” and “boyfriend” to soften the blow, trying to escape responsibility and get Lin Tian to drop it,
Lin Tian still hit her forehead.
“Don’t you think something like this could be romantic?”
Gan Yan Yu clasped her hands together, dreamily thinking,
“If one day I d*e, then at least having the most important person complete the perfect show at the greatest stage, I believe d*ath isn’t such a tragic end.”
“Blaa Blaa Bla”
Lin Tian wondered what was going on in Gan Yan Yu’s brain, her statements seemed cursed.
“It’s not that spot. It’s your stomach, not your heart,” Lin Tian pointed out.
“Oh, is it?” Gan Yan Yu was surprised.
“It is,” Lin Tian snapped.
“We are making a milk ad, practicing these stunts? Would you perform the scene of vomiting after drinking milk?”
“That’s kind of a challenge,”
“Be careful, you might get sued by the client!”
Lin Tian finally pointed at Gan Yan Yu,
“In summary, your acting is a failure! Get better at it!”
“And stop acting like that!”
Back at home, Lin Tian opened his computer and edited the dance footage.
Turned off the original audio and inserted the background music.
The vibe instantly improved.
Lin Tian hadn’t submitted any content in a while.
He hit the submit button.
