Chapter 175: I Like You, Hope You Feel the Same Too
The moment the piano and cello joined the jam session, the three trainees performing felt their hearts skip a beat!
Under the intense pressure of the cello, which was being mercilessly wrapped up by the rapid piano,
Immediately,
A colossal wave of pressure smacked the trainee’s senses!
The music soared to astronomical levels!
The redhead girl urgently cranked up her violin’s tempo.
Both boys desperately clung to their respective instruments as well.
Yet, no matter how hard they tried to hold onto the melody,
It continued its relentless advance,
Like being dragged on a wild adventure by two ferocious beasts, totally out of control, charging ahead with unstoppable force!
Facing them, Zhang Dong swung his bow wildly, his lips curling in smug satisfaction.
Youngsters,
Still enjoying playing with Moonlight and Cat?
Before truly joining in, everyone thought it’s a fantastic thing, as if playing with Moonlight and Cat means sharing musical bliss.
But when you’re in it, you find out,
It’s hell.
Just like what Zhang Dong went through once.
Lin Tian, what are you doing?
In the middle of the tango,
Gan Yan Yu drew the cello strings, gradually feeling suspicious.
Why is he playing so… violently?
The piano sped up, radiating a higher-than-usual aura.
Almost like it wants to overpower Gan Yan Yu’s cello.
Maybe, she thought, it’s just today’s excitement?
Since nothing else seemed plausible.
Or could it be the duet just now added more immersion to the performance?
Well then, maybe she’d enjoy it a bit more too.
Gan Yan Yu closed her eyes
Seeing this, Lin Tian immediately sobered up.
He knew exactly what closing her eyes meant.
This—this was domain expansion!
Sure enough, as the chorus hit,
The cello roared like a blue whale diving and rising suddenly under the sea!
Causing the ocean to churn!
Lin Tian, like a powerful fleet navigating the high seas, gripped the wheel tightly right now.
When the blue whale’s roar happened, he stretched his fist towards it!
For a moment,
The cello lifted the emotions, the piano rose too, and the cello ascended even higher!
Instruments clashing, sparks flew as if in a heated battle.
Similarly, all the trainees on the musical sea were almost blown away!
They were like tiny fishing boats drifting on the surface, each time the clash of the duo caused waves, threatening to swallow them whole.
”What these two are doing today. . .”
He Zhi Chen watched in shock.
This is just MV shooting,
Not a competition—oh for crying out loud, what are they playing at?!
You play like that, what about the others?!
Zhang Dong remembered the fear of being dominated and bit his lip hard.
His mind flashed back to the determination made just now.
Moonlight Brother trusted him.
After he had messed up, Moonlight Brother forgave him and let him join in.
He mustn’t fall flat here!
Quickly, Zhang Dong gave it his all, drawing the violin and struggling to keep the music from collapsing.
The trainees all turned red-faced, veins bulging.
The redhead girl looked particularly miserable, tearful, almost crying through her frantic violin playing.
The other trainees watching were dumbfounded.
Back in Lin Tian and Gan Yan Yu’s bubble,
No other performers, no directors or photographers nearby,
Only Lin Tian staring at Gan Yan Yu.
The girl was fully immersed now, eyes shut, oblivious to Lin Tian’s gaze.
While the soft music played.
Lin Tian stared at the side profile of the girl, his heart filled with questions.
He’s been pondering this for a while,
Does Gan Yan Yu… like him?
What kind of feelings does she have for him?
If asked why he likes her, it’s simple.
First, it would be because she was pretty and played the cello with such dedication.
She also had a couple of cute plushies that were always ready to play.
Pretty hard not to fall for it.
Second, probably because of that earnestness in her. Unlike Lin Tian, who takes things lightly, in Gan Yan Yu’s eyes, everything deserves respect.
Including him.
She really took it seriously when it came to “partners.”
And every little promise he made meant something to her.
This made it confusing for him.
Because such seriousness, he thinks, any other girl would feel secure.
Except Gan Yan Yu.
A girl who’s unpredictable and uncertain.
Even if they’ve slept over at Lin Tian’s place one night, hung out and had meals together,
It’s entirely possible she’d just leave the next day.
Just like Lin Tian feels.
He’s never been able to catch her, never felt like he had her bound to him.
In fact, he isn’t even sure how significant he is to her compared to classical music.
So, what if I do this?
Lin Tian decided to switch gears,
And suddenly, infused the music with a gentle but deep devotion,
That’s Lin Tian’s specialty.
He can’t entirely act it out, but he’s got more life experiences and emotional baggage than Gan Yan Yu.
He could infuse his emotions into the music.
These are notes that represent his “liking.”
They’re strong but filled with tenderness.
Will she be unaffected by that
”…”
The girl’s brow furrowed slightly.
She has a reaction!
Ripples of anticipation surged through Lin Tian.
She’s thinking!
He’s taking a risk,
A gamble that Ms. Gan Yan Yu isn’t the dominant type.
He believes she doesn’t see him merely as a partner.
She must like me, the girlfriend type of like!
Even just a tiny bit!
At worst, some affection should be okay, just not as platonic friends.
As long as Ms. Gan Yan Yu holds some feeling for him,
His music could sweep her off her feet!
Press her down beneath him!
Because this—the vulnerable, emotional side of a young woman.
No matter how strong, when confronted with the raw truth of feelings unconnected to music, she would give in.
Right?
Lin Tian stared intently at Gan Yan Yu’s face.
I know you’re just slow, maybe can’t recognize your feelings, but surely I’m more than just a friend, right?
”Wrong!”
He Zhi Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief,
”Gan Yan Yu’s performance is getting overshadowed by Lin Tian’s accompaniment?!”
