Chapter 55: Today I’m a College Student!
Early morning, bright sunshine, and a slight chill in the air.
Perfect weather for an adventure.
Downstairs in the dormitory building, Lin Tian was still glued to his phone when a clear, young voice rang out—
“Coming!”
Following that, a mass of raven-black hair swayed gently in the breeze, accompanied by a graceful silhouette. She was dressed in a loose white T-shirt featuring a dashing cartoon pattern.
Her lower body sported denim shorts, revealing legs as white and sleek as an endless highway. The journey began from the edge of her shorts and stretched all the way down to a pair of pristine white sneakers.
Gan Yan Yu, with her cello case in tow, waved her hand before the daydreaming Lin Tian.
“Lin Tian, what are you spacing out about?”
“Why are you dressed like this?” asked Lin Tian.
“These are clothes I bought in England—do they look weird?”
Gan Yan Yu nervously checked herself over.
“Not really unusual.”
It’s just that this is a side of Gan Yan Yu that Lin Tian hadn’t seen before. In his memory, she mostly wore school uniforms and various dresses.
She reminded him of a classic Hong Kong star from decades past, though her dresses were more in line with modern tastes.
Sophisticated and elegant long dresses that exuded grace.
Or playful sundresses with patterns that screamed summer.
Lin Tian found it difficult to decide if she looked better in school uniforms or dresses.
He’d only ever smelled the uniforms after all.
Seeing her in such a modern girl’s outfit—T-shirt and jeans—was quite rare.
This time, Lin Tian felt like he had stumbled upon a time traveler.
“…”
“Gan-teacher.”
“Hmm?”
“You should pinch the hem of your shirt.”
“Again? Pinch it harder?”
“Quickly!”
Gan Yan Yu grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled.
“Actually, grab, not pinch—squeeze more fabric into your palm!”
urged Lin Tian.
Gan Yan Yu pulled, pinching a handful of fabric.
“Now, pull the hem down.”
She tugged it down.
Instantly, the T-shirt hugged her body tightly, revealing the contours of some very impressive assets, while a bit of soft flesh peeked out from beneath the shirt.
Paired with her denim shorts, she looked absolutely flawless.
Amazing figure.
Lin Tian stared in awe.
Every time Gan Yan Yu wore something loose like this, he couldn’t help but admire the stark contrast, which made her appear even more alluring.
“…”
“Gan-teacher, have you gained weight again?”
Lin Tian noticed that Gan Yan Yu had improved considerably physically since the last time he saw her.
“I weigh 86 pounds now,” said Gan Yan Yu with a proud smile.
“Good, good, that’s not wasted food then.”
“Keep it up, aim to return to school next week!”
Watching Gan Yan Yu’s weight inch up from eighty pounds each day while her physique got better and better filled Lin Tian with immense satisfaction.
Like training a Pokémon!
That must be the joy of cultivation!
“Yeah.”
Gan Yan Yu nodded.
To get her health back on track, she had worked extremely hard during this period.
While Lin Tian attended class, Gan Yan Yu at home exercised and studied diligently too.
She ran, lifted weights, took vitamins every day, and learned about healthy living and diet online.
She couldn’t wait to return to school.
Back at school, she would have more time to spend with Lin Tian, delving into music together.
“Let’s go.”
They hopped on the subway to Starfield Music Academy.
Deciding he didn’t want to think about music, studies, or TikTok any longer, Lin Tian wanted to fully enjoy his rare downtime before his final few weekends as a senior.
At the academy gate,
As it was a public university, they easily entered campus.
On the weekend, there weren’t many people around.
But scattered college students meandered through the campus.
Standing amongst them, Lin Tian suddenly felt a sense of being out of place.
He had been to college himself in another life.
College students and high schoolers, despite their age difference not being large, often stood out noticeably in appearance and demeanor.
High schoolers, influenced by their schools and families, generally didn’t care much about their looks.
Once in college, many boys started paying attention to their appearance, growing out different hairstyles.
And most girls viewed makeup as a necessity.
That’s why so many high schoolers who seemed ordinary began transforming into “campus goddesses” once they hit college.
Thus, distinguishing between high school students and college students based on appearance was easy.
Of course, vocational high schools were different.
Many vocational high school girls had a strong awareness of their appearances, comparable to college students.
Walking through campus,
Amidst these college students,
For some reason, Gan Yan Yu always felt nervous.
She instinctively leaned closer to Lin Tian:
“Lin Tian, do you think we might be mistaken for high schoolers?”
“No one cares enough to notice.”
“It’s like we’re sneaking in like thieves.”
“Well, you’re the one creeping around suspiciously.”
“Plus, you look so much like a college student, carrying a cello, people will just assume you belong here.”
In truth, Lin Tian’s method of distinguishing between college and high school students didn’t apply to someone like…
Gan Yan Yu, whose beauty was naturally stunning!
No tricks involved, natural long straight black hair, no makeup—she still managed to look stunning.
Her natural allure matched that of any heavily made-up college student.
Sure, Lin Tian was handsome too, but his hairstyle—a classic M-shaped fringe—made him look like a heroic high schooler ready to save the world.
“Really?”
Gan Yan Yu suddenly stepped forward, swinging her arms left and right.
“Do I look like a college student?”
Despite not understanding her concern,
Lin Tian replied,
“Of course.”
“Great!”
A smile spread across her face.
Her steps became livelier.
She briskly moved forward, breathing deeply and taking in everything around her.
The music academy was indeed a place brimming with artistic vibes.
The campus scenery was beautiful.
Approaching the central plaza,
In the middle stood an artistic statue of a large musical note that looked quite cool.
This had to be one of the icons of Starfield Music Academy.
Every university has similar statues.
“Lin Tian, Lin Tian.”
Gan Yan Yu approached the statue and called Lin Tian over,
“Take a picture of me!”
“Alright.”
Lin Tian took out his phone and opened the camera, aiming it at Gan Yan Yu.
Just as the lens focused,
A group of book-carrying college students walked past, peering curiously over.
Gan Yan Yu’s face quickly showed embarrassment, but she hastily struck a pose when Lin Tian shouted “Cheese”.
“Click.”
The moment was captured.
In the photo, Gan Yan Yu’s face was blushing, looking visibly uncomfortable. But forced to smile because of the camera, her teeth gleamed brightly, making her smile even more radiant.
She stood there exactly like a real college student.
