"People who achieve great things, huh." At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Right in the midst of youth. At this point in time, facing someone you like and knowing how to "suppress your emotions," enduring loneliness, That’s incredibly, incredibly difficult. Especially since this is a girl. "But, Mr. He, I want to make a bet with you." Gao Zhenyang suddenly gave a mysterious smile and said. "I think that although Mr. Lin Tian sometimes has big emotional swings, he is the one who is more rational in the relationship, while Gan Yanyu, the reason she can stay calm now is just because she hasn’t correctly understood their feelings yet." "If one day in the future a big event happens that could affect the trajectory of their lives, Gan Yanyu will definitely be the one who acts impulsively." He Zhichen squinted his eyes, showing a hint of disdain. In He Zhichen’s memory, Such an image... doesn’t line up with Gan Yanyu at all. "The image you described clearly fits Mr. Lin Tian more." In contrast, Lin Tian, Lin Tian is the one who would make bold choices at critical moments and then miraculously turn things around. "That’s because the situations they’ve gone through haven’t been intense enough. What you call a ’crisis’ is still something Mr. Lin Tian can solve with calm thinking." "I’m their manager. Do you think you know better than me?" He Zhichen challenged. Gao Zhenyang chuckled, "It’s the intuition of us musicians." "No, I have to calculate this!" After thinking for a while, He Zhichen still couldn’t accept it. So, he quickly assumed the precision of a mathematician, opened his tablet, "I have all the competition data of Mr. Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, as well as all the major decisions they’ve made..." Known for his meticulousness, He Zhichen wasn’t going to let this go today! He didn’t believe that Gao Zhenyang could know better than him! However, just as He Zhichen was halfway through scrolling, Gao Zhenyang’s hand stopped him. "Come on, I’m not even going to look at it." "Some things aren’t clear from data—you just need to say if you’re betting or not!" "You tricky devil, you’re provoking me, aren’t you." He Zhichen adjusted his glasses and laughed helplessly, "So what’s the wager?" "If you lose, you have to come with us to the Keller Cup in Vienna and act as a coach for Mr. Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu." Gao Zhenyang widened his eyes, protesting against He Zhichen’s slyness, "Go do unpaid work for you guys, and I don’t have to teach?" "Figure it out yourself then." He Zhichen smiled proudly. "Fine, then if you lose, you have to give me the spot as a witness at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s wedding." Upon hearing this, He Zhichen couldn’t hold back and stared at Gao Zhenyang in disbelief, "How did you know I’ve been eyeing that spot for a long time?! I was even planning to talk to Mr. Lin Tian about it!" "Don’t worry, just talk to him and say the spot goes to me." "Oh, you, I’ve looked forward to this for so long, and you just come and want to snatch it from me?" as the number one manager, He Zhichen had kept this in his heart for a long time. Being a longstanding "head of the family," he had always cared about this couple’s emotional progress. The moment he dreamed of most was attending Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s wedding as a witness. If that day ever came, He Zhichen could say he’d have a fulfilled life! He had already been planning in his mind when to find a chance to bring it up with Lin Tian. After all, Lin Tian had no family, no relatives, no colleagues, no superiors... He was obviously the top choice! This little happiness, long hidden in the serious facade of He Zhichen, was actually dug up by Gao Zhenyang! He Zhichen even suspected now if Gao Zhenyang did it on purpose just to trap him! All to set this situation and dig out his little treasure. "If it’s not a high-stakes bet, where’s the fun?" Gao Zhenyang laughed, "I’m gambling at the risk of being a free coach for a month." In for a penny, in for a pound, He Zhichen also placed his bet. He was convinced that his judgment, based on rigorous data, was definitely more reliable than Gao Zhenyang’s so-called "intuition"! "We’ll see then." Gao Zhenyang laughed. A nonsensical "bet" in the first chat between two old friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages. Perhaps, even they couldn’t imagine when this bet’s outcome would come to fruition. Lin Tian rang Gan Yanyu’s doorbell. After a while, the girl in white pajamas opened the door. Seeing the neatly dressed Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, somewhat surprised, "I’ve already gone out and come back." "Quickly get dressed, we’re starting the performance soon." "So rushed? Haven’t had breakfast yet?" At this moment, Lin Tian couldn’t afford to care about too much. He urgently wanted to verify the guess in his heart, to prove whether what he thought was wrong. "Then... where will we..." "Shouldn’t we collaborate?" Gan Yanyu’s face clearly showed a flash of disappointment. Clearly, it was agreed last night to do it in Gan Yanyu’s room. "Then wait for me a moment." Gan Yanyu closed the door. After another while, Lin Tian, who had already set up equipment at home, heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, when Gan Yanyu appeared again at Lin Tian’s house, she had already changed into an elegant long white dress. After washing her face, the girl now looked more refreshed. Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu took their places at their respective practice areas. No more unnecessary words. Lin Tian started playing the piano first. Soon, Gan Yanyu also began pulling the cello strings. The gentle melody played in the apartment on a morning. Great! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 Just at the beginning, Lin Tian quickly felt the change in Gan Yanyu’s tone. The effort they put in yesterday was not in vain! The girl’s cello was evidently more profound, more tender than yesterday, almost immediately making Lin Tian feel a sense of serenity. This was the sentiment from Gan Yanyu. Different from Lin Tian’s, more gentle and cautious emotions..... Seeing the joy on Lin Tian’s face. Gan Yanyu, while playing, also felt more confident. She played more boldly, immersing in the feelings searched for last night. Release them... all of it... In this way... they surely can perform the best stage! Surely... can win the championship in this final...!! Seeing Gan Yanyu’s joyful mood, as she turned to look at Lin Tian, wanting to emotion. Her expression, however, froze at this moment. ——The Lin Tian in front of her, at this moment, had tightly knitted brows. On his face, a subtly complex expression. "Indeed... what he said wasn’t wrong... still somewhat lacking." Lin Tian let go of the piano keys, muttering. Meanwhile, Gan Yanyu put down the bow, urgently asked. Looking at Gan Yanyu’s urgent yet pure face. Lin Tian hesitated to speak. Ultimately couldn’t say that sentence. ——Because our love is too repressed. No matter how meticulously they refine ’Ode to Love’. They can only perfect the surface. They... will never be able to perform ’Ode to Love’ perfectly at the final’s stage. "Perhaps, I’ve been too demanding..." "Maybe choosing another piece would be better." Lin Tian thought for a while; now he seemed to have let go a bit. Just as Gao Zhenyang said. He and Gan Yanyu were not wrong; their love could withstand time’s test too. Just, at the wrong time, wrong place, encountered the wrong ’Ode to Love’. Right from the start, Gan Yanyu didn’t want to play this piece; it was my insistence..... This moment, Gan Yanyu stared at Lin Tian, quite aggrievedly said, "I only want this piece!!"
