CHAPTER 291: CHAPTER 243: THE SUPER CUTE GIRL IN THE LIVEHOUSE (4K)_2

"Let’s just forget about this drink, shall I mix you another one? It’s not really good for a high school student to drink this!"

The blue-haired woman said with a smile, her fondness for Lin Tian clearly growing.

"Do you have the authority to do that?" Lin Tian was surprised that a bartender could just change the drink on a whim, as the drinks here weren’t cheap.

"I’m the owner of this place," said the blue-haired woman.

"....."

So the person Wei Xiaoxiao was talking about was her.

Is the owner personally mixing drinks a kind of unique hobby?

But regarding Wei Xiaoxiao’s previous request,

Lin Tian felt that sitting here, having a drink, listening to music, and relaxing was rather nice.

He hadn’t planned on helping Wei Xiaoxiao when he came over tonight.

"What’s the name of this band?"

Lin Tian changed the subject and then took another sip of his drink.

Since she’s the owner, she should know a lot.

"Cosmic Flying Pig, a local Tokyo band that’s been really popular lately. They’re the first special guest at the livehouse tonight."

"What about after them?"

"After that, there’s just one underground idol. It’s Tuesday today, not many people, so it’s not easy to invite guests. We’re just making do for today~"

The blue-haired woman’s personality was quite forthright. Even when talking to a stranger like Lin Tian, she spoke her mind freely.

Of course, it’s also possible she just thought of Lin Tian as a child, so it didn’t matter what she said.

"I actually have a friend from the Mainland who just arrived in Tokyo yesterday. She said she could come over and perform—being from the Mainland, you should recognize her name."

At this point, the blue-haired woman nudged Lin Tian’s shoulder with a touch of pride in her voice,

"Wei Xiaoxiao."

"..."

"Surprised, aren’t you?"

The blue-haired woman wore a signature smile that seemed to tease children, displaying a sense of smug satisfaction and pleasure,

"She’s a super superstar. Young people from the Mainland should all recognize her, right?"

"Indeed."

Lin Tian nodded with a slight embarrassment.

Truth be told, he had only met her yesterday.

"It’s a pity, she had something come up tonight and couldn’t make it. She said she’d be free in a few days."

The blue-haired woman leaned against the bar and sighed,

"But she said she recommended two professional musicians from the Mainland who are very famous over there. She didn’t tell me their names, just said ’if they’re having fun, they might perform,’ but I’ve been looking all night and didn’t see anyone who looks particularly like a musician..."

"....."

Lin Tian silently took advantage of a blind spot to move the cello case Gan Yanyu had left behind to a corner.

"Who do you think looks more like those two musicians?"

The blue-haired woman lowered her voice to Lin Tian, casting her gaze into the distance,

"I want to find them, offer them a finely brewed beer, cozy up to them, and maybe those masters will agree to perform... It’s just a shame there are too many people here, it’s hard to find!"

"Yeah, it’s really hard to find."

Lin Tian agreed too.

"Do you think that person looks like it? I’ve been watching him for a long time—" The blue-haired woman pointed with her finger.

Lin Tian looked in the direction she pointed.

Not far away, a big man with a full beard, who looked to be around 200 pounds, was sitting on a beer crate. His suit made quite a contrast with his size.

"Ha?" Lin Tian squinted doubtfully.

"This beard, this liberated aura, doesn’t it give off a musician vibe? Isn’t it?!"

The blue-haired woman said excitedly, as though she had found the one...

No, does a musician necessarily have to be scruffy and artistic?

Lin Tian was embarrassed,

"I think those two musicians aren’t that ugly."

"That’s true."

The blue-haired woman stroked her chin,

"Being professional musicians from the same company as Wei Xiaoxiao, they shouldn’t look this bad."

"What about that person?"

The blue-haired woman pointed to another person.

This time it was a man standing by the stage, jumping along with the music. The man looked to be just over thirty, nothing special to say about his looks, but on his head was a very smooth piece of land—a bald spot.

No, how is this any better than the last one?

That surely must be a programmer, right?

"Think about it, musicians are very impressive people. Ordinary people can’t become musicians. They are either very old with white hair and a weathered look, exuding a master’s demeanor, or they might be young, but dressed in a way that sets them apart from the ordinary. In any case, they don’t look like average people."

The blue-haired woman articulated her theory earnestly, throwing playful glances at Lin Tian from time to time.

She had a look that said: Kid, listen well, learn well...

Lin Tian couldn’t exactly say she was wrong...

After all, many people have this stereotype of classical musicians.

"..."

"Yanyu, you danced so amazingly! Minasan, can we give a round of applause for this beautiful girl!"

Following the end of the explosive music performance, Kana picked up the microphone and said with a smile.

A cheer erupted from the crowd at once.

After everyone quieted down.

Kana paused, seemingly reluctant to let the girl leave the stage, then turned and spoke to Gan Yanyu:

"You just... dancing... the street performance vibe... was awesome!"

"I noticed you brought... a cello... can you play it?"

As Kana spoke, she mimicked the motion of playing a cello.

The audience laughed heartily.

But when Lin Tian, who was mid-sip, heard this, his glass froze in mid-air.

He had a sinking feeling.

"....."

Gan Yanyu tried to digest Kana’s Chinese, and after a brief stun.

She smiled and nodded her head:

"Yes, I can."

"Can we play together?" asked Kana.

"Of, of course....."

Like hell, of course!

Lin Tian, witnessing this from below the stage, felt a chill in his heart.

Mr. Gan had absolutely no clue about her own skills!

When invited, you just agreed?!

Did you even consider how dangerous this could be... for them!

Are you trying to ruin their performance?!

Lin Tian numbed himself, his premonitions proving to be correct.

This band did the same, allowing Gan Yanyu to join with a cello.

Even if it was just impromptu accompaniment...

Their courage was too much!

Don’t just casually invite an unknown high school girl to join the ensemble!

"Can the lad over there help bring the cello up on stage, please?"

From afar, Kana called out to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian remained unmoved, and Kana, thinking he didn’t understand Japanese, spoke again in Chinese,

"Hello....."

Gan Yanyu saw the change in Lin Tian’s expression, took the initiative to walk down the stage, and approached him,

"Lin Tian?"

"Mr. Gan."

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu’s somewhat excited expression and asked her amusedly,

"Why did you just agree to them?"

"The atmosphere was so good... I accidentally just..."

Gan Yanyu murmured softly.

Clearly, she knew what she was doing; it wasn’t a complete lack of judgment.

"What good atmosphere?"

"The music sounded great... I also felt like playing."

Is this the music temperament of a cellist?

Dancing and then feeling like playing a tune.

"But you can’t ruin their performance, their band has no grudge against us."

Lin Tian said.

Just then.

A system interface popped up.

[Producer task issued—]

[...]

Seeing the interface, Lin Tian sighed and then, looking up, he smiled,

"Since you want to play, let’s play together."

"Okay~"

Gan Yanyu immediately brightened up, her smile blooming like a flower.

Seeing her change expressions so quickly.

Lin Tian now began to suspect, was this guy deliberately agreeing to lure him out...

Lin Tian turned around, picked up the cello that had been placed in the corner,

Then he turned and approached the bar, speaking to the blue-haired woman who was wiping glasses,

"Could we give a performance?"
