Chapter 238: Performance Commission at a Livehouse (Third Update of the Night) (Please Cast Your Votes)
“Hey, Lin Tian, why are you dressed so lightly?”
Halfway through her sentence, Gan Yan Yu suddenly noticed Lin Tian’s sports coat.
She quickly took off her own jacket and said,
“Wear this, it’s freezing today.”
“No need, no need,” Lin Tian pressed Gan Yan Yu’s woolen coat back onto her, saying, “I’m quite cozy already.”
“You’re dressed so lightly, are you crazy?”
“Really.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Gan Yan Yu grabbed Lin Tian’s hand abruptly.
The cold, smooth touch instantly enveloped Lin Tian’s palm.
“. . .”
Gan Yan Yu was taken aback.
“See? I knew it,” Lin Tian said with a teasing smirk, looking at Gan Yan Yu.
“How can your hands be so warm?”
Gan Yan Yu’s cheeks turned rosy with delight.
“Of course they are,” Lin Tian replied, pointing out that she was just too cold, “It’s your hands that are icy.”
Then Lin Tian grabbed Gan Yan Yu’s tiny hand in return and rubbed them together to warm them up.
The young woman watched Lin Tian’s actions with wide, stunned eyes as he let go,
“Is it warmer?”
“Nope,” Gan Yan Yu whispered.
“Can you help warm me up again?” she asked sweetly.
“Sure thing,” Lin Tian wrapped his large hands around hers once more, blowing warm air onto them.
“. . .”
“Are they always this open about it?”
Wei Xiao Xiao pointed at the couple towards He Zhi Chen in mild uncertainty.
“Aren’t they heading to bed next?”
“Shh—”
He changed his usual serious expression, “Actually, they’re very proper most of the time. Sometimes they just can’t resist . . .”
“Cant resist?”
“They both have feelings for each other,” He said.
“I thought they were in the flirting stage. Are they already clear about it?”
Wei Xiao Xiao was amazed.
“It’s pretty impressive, right? They’re both deciding to get married after winning the championship.”
When He Zhi Chen spoke those words, his gaze softened,
“I truly hope they succeed.”
“. . .”
Wei Xiao Xiao looked again at the two warming each other up, feeling somewhat dazed.
Maybe she realized why something felt off about these two classical musicians.
In the entertainment industry,
She suspected she’d never see love like this.
This was Lin Tian’s first time traveling in first class.
The journey on the plane wasn’t boring, He Zhi Chen was busy arranging their schedule for the next few days, while Gan Yan Yu dosed off.
Lin Tian pulled out his phone and watched the pre-cached “Hardcore Rude Guys” video series by Dead Hamster.
In his previous life, it was one of his favorite shows, but unfortunately, Genghis Khan updated too slowly. Each time Lin Tian finished watching, he had to wait earnestly for the next update. Sometimes he’d watch old episodes repeatedly.
After coming to this world, one day, he suddenly recalled the series and went searching for it.
What an entirely different historical background, a completely new story!
He couldn’t even dream of it.
This was probably the biggest surprise for Lin Tian coming to a parallel world.
Only a pity, there is no Peach Blossom Flower Kanon here.
If this world had dozens of works that he never saw before in his original world, Lin Tian couldn’t imagine how happy he would be.
“Teacher Lin Tian,” Wei Xiao Xiao from the row ahead turned her head around,
“Are you guys going to Tokyo to participate in the ‘Sakubou International Piano Competition’?”
“Yep, that’s right.”
“Such an early arrival?”
“Just treating it like a trip, as the Boss said,” he explained.
“Have you thought about where to go?”
“Traveling?”
Upon hearing that, Lin Tian wore a puzzled expression. He didn’t understand why this star manager was prying into his private affairs.
“Loads of ideas, but haven’t decided yet.”
After he finished speaking, Lin Tian looked extremely serious and stern,
“For example, if me and my co-star were planning to go shopping, we’d definitely think twice before bringing along a third person.”
“What? I didn’t say I was going with you!”
Wei Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes immediately.
d*mn the smitten feelings.
Next, there was some regret in her heart.
Oh, such a pure-hearted hunk is already thinking about marriage.
Indeed, good men are taken care of behind closed doors.
“I just wanted to ask if you’re planning to visit the livehouse in Tokyo Ikebukuro when you’re here for the first time? It’s very famous and also a unique experience.”
“What’s a livehouse?”
“Do you really not know what a livehouse is?”
Wei Xiao Xiao was baffled.
“On the English side, I understand what it means.”
“It’s like an underground music venue, a place to release emotions? Many popular small orchestras perform there, showcasing high audience interaction. That’s basically the gist of it,” Wei Xiao Xiao patiently explained to Lin Tian.
“Sounds interesting.”
Lin Tian had understood.
A bar that feels more like a club with amplified excitement.
Though both still serve as venues for music.
Livehouses feel more wild, closer to nightclubs compared to the elegant and quiet concert halls.
Should I take our cello teacher, Teacher Gan, to such a place?
Lin Tian thought about it for a moment and thought it sounded like fun.
It’s like a cultural break.
Letting this ancient musician experience some pop culture.
Plus, he wanted to see if he could bump into a band of idol girls who often appear in manga.
“Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out,” Lin Tian said.
“But actually, if you want to explore, there’s something I’d like to ask.”
Wei Xiao Xiao continued,
“There’s a livehouse owner in Tokyo who once helped me. I promised to perform there when I came to Tokyo.”
“Perform a show?”
Though Lin Tian was unfamiliar with Wei Xiao Xiao, him performing in a livehouse felt odd.
Seemed a bit too big-time.
He imagined that fans in Tokyo might easily recognize her and cause commotion online.
That would be quite troublesome.
“Yes, she invited me for tomorrow, but honestly, I don’t want to go. And I’ve got something important planned for tomorrow anyway.”
Actually, the latter part could be skipped.
Lin Tian noticed Wei Xiao Xiao definitely didn’t want to go.
“So?”
“If you’re interested, could you do me a favor and perform there instead? As a thank-you, whatever else I can help you with later is yours!” Wei Xiao Xiao said sincerely.
“. . .”
“Hmm, I need to think about it.”
Lin Tian hesitated, feeling he ought to consult Gan Yan Yu first.
Now, if a pop singer like Wei Xiao Xiao performed in a livehouse, it would seem odd because her persona as a star and the hot bar atmosphere just wouldn’t fit well together.
So, taking a classical musician to such a place
Was a bit ridiculous, isn’t it?
