My Girlfriend Is a Cello Player-Chapter 75: Let's Go Shopping for Clothes Together
Chapter 75: Let's Go Shopping for Clothes Together
Lin Tian's words struck a chord with Gan Yanyu. She had felt all along that yesterday's recording hadn't gone well, even though she didn't feel physically unwell after playing. The truth was, her emotions had been disrupted by Lin Tian's interaction at that moment. While the final video turned out fairly accurate, Gan Yanyu felt a void in her heart because she hadn't fully conveyed the emotion of the piece.
In that case, she decided to save this piece for the closing performance of the concert. When the time came, in front of numerous music media with refined tastes, she would meticulously re-perform the piece.
"Speaking of which," Gan Yanyu suddenly remembered something and carefully sized up Lin Tian. "Do you have any proper clothes for performing on stage?"
"Can I wear this?" Lin Tian glanced at his plain white T-shirt and gray shorts, feeling a bit self-conscious.
"Of course not. What do you think the concert hall is?"
"Don't you think this look screams ultimate relaxation?"
"That kind of relaxation shouldn't be on stage."
"You're mistaken," Lin Tian said seriously. "There are people who perform concerts naked and still get a standing ovation."
"Really? Who?" Gan Yanyu tilted her head, deep in thought. She couldn't recall anyone performing naked.
The girl blinked. "Was it your friend who died in a helicopter crash?"
"..." Lin Tian didn't expect Gan Yanyu to remember that. He realized he should tone down his abstract humor; not only did Gan Yanyu fail to understand his jokes, but she might genuinely think he was an idiot.
"So, what should I wear then?"
"It's simple." A sly smile crept onto Gan Yanyu's beautiful face. "On Wednesday, I'll accompany you to buy some."
Wednesday, after two grueling days of mock exams and with the year-end rankings about to be released the next day, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu had agreed to attend a concert together that evening—a wise choice. Once the results were out, Lin Tian might not be in such a good mood. Since Qingtian Hall was near the city center, they arranged to meet near the school.
After the last class ended, basking in the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Tian and Xu Yong walked out of the school gate as usual.
"Bro, if you're quitting your part-time job, make sure you clear things up with Manager Wang. He keeps asking me when you'll come again."
Xu Yong was chatting with Lin Tian when suddenly, "Lin Tian!" a crisp voice called out.
Both turned around to see Gan Yanyu waving enthusiastically from a short distance away. She was dazzling, standing out instantly even amidst the bustling crowd of students. Perhaps to avoid drawing attention while waiting for Lin Tian due to being overdressed, Gan Yanyu had deliberately worn her school uniform today, styling a refreshing single ponytail. Standing under the pear blossom tree in the distance, she waved with a smile.
Though technically still on sick leave, she chose to wear her school uniform anyway. How could this not be considered cosplay? But Gan Yanyu didn't realize her effort had no effect—almost as soon as she spoke, she quickly drew everyone's attention. Many craned their necks to sneak peeks, whispering curiously among themselves about how there could be such a beautiful girl at No. 7 High School.
"You, you, you..." Seeing Gan Yanyu, Xu Yong immediately expressed his frustration. "Haven't you had enough fun at home? Now you're showing off at the school gate?"
"No, I just happened to have plans with her today."
"..." Before Lin Tian could finish explaining, Gan Yanyu had already jogged over to him.
Upon seeing Xu Yong beside Lin Tian, the girl immediately raised her finger, pointing curiously at Xu Yong. "I remember you, Xu something's classmate."
"My name is Xu Yong." Xu Yong's expression turned awkward.
"Oh, right." Seemingly to ease the atmosphere, Gan Yanyu rubbed her hands and asked, "Did you enjoy the mung bean cakes last time?"
Lin Tian quickly pulled Gan Yanyu aside. In a low voice, he said, "Don't you remember? He didn't eat them last time. You wouldn't let him eat when he wanted to."
"Oh, that's right." Gan Yanyu suddenly recalled, covering her mouth nervously, whispering into Lin Tian's ear, "What should we do? This is so awkward."
"It's fine. Brother Yong isn't used to girls giving him food anyway."
"Oh, that's good."
"..."
"Haha, looks like you two have more to talk about." Xu Yong scratched his head, giving a hearty smile to the two. "I won't be the third wheel here. Have fun."
Then he turned and walked forward. After a few steps, he sprinted away. "Waaaah..." His voice faded into the crowd, with only a glimpse of him wiping his eyes with his sleeve.
"..."
"What's wrong with him?" Gan Yanyu asked with concern.
"Maybe... you spoke too loudly."
"Huh? Did he hear that? Oh no, this is embarrassing."
"Never mind that." Lin Tian steered the conversation back. He looked at Gan Yanyu, whose high ponytail swayed today. Then Lin Tian stepped back twice, stroking his chin, examining the girl from head to toe.
Gan Yanyu stared blankly at Lin Tian. Then she grabbed the hem of her shirt, glancing back, revealing her slender figure faintly.
"Wait, wait..." Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gan Yanyu's hand. Eyes wide, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"You always make me do this whenever you look at me like that." Gan Yanyu seemed innocent. It had become a muscle memory. Though she didn't understand the meaning behind it, Gan Yanyu interpreted it as the captain inspecting the team members' work status. She had to present a full-on energetic state at this moment, only then would the captain be satisfied.
"..." Lin Tian really did want to see, but this was the school gate, crowded with people. What if someone saw them?
"How much do you weigh now?"
"52.3 kilograms." At this point, Gan Yanyu raised her head with a hint of confidence. In less than three weeks, she gained 4 kilos. Lin Tian felt he truly had a knack for nurturing. If he ever stopped being a producer, becoming a shepherd wouldn't be bad either—just fattening sheep every day and preparing to slaughter them during the New Year.
"At this rate, can I return to school next week?"
"After our concert ends, probably." Lin Tian nodded in agreement.
"Alright." Gan Yanyu clasped her hands behind her back, humming softly, tiptoeing on one foot, swaying her body left and right, looking very content.
"So, where are we going now?" Lin Tian asked.
At this point, Gan Yanyu suddenly turned serious again. She raised her index finger, batting her big eyes, and said, "To the suit shop."
