CHAPTER 641: CHAPTER 410: FIRST EXPERIENCE OF COLLEGE LIFE_2

We have to wait for marriage before taking things further.

Lin Tian respected Gan Yanyu’s decision and stood up.

"Get some rest early, I’ll go on Bilibili and post an update, and that’ll be the end of today."

Although the livestream just now had already achieved all their expected goals,

the ending was a bit too abrupt, so Lin Tian thought it was necessary to post an update on Bilibili as a conclusion.

"Okay."

Gan Yanyu nodded softly, sounding as if she didn’t have much energy left.

Even though Lin Tian felt he hadn’t done much, Gan Yanyu’s voice sounded as if she was utterly exhausted.

This inevitably made Lin Tian a bit worried.

If this level already tires her out, won’t Gan just collapse like a weakling when things get real later?

"...."

These matters can only be thought about later.

Lin Tian escorted Gan Yanyu back to her apartment, and they wished each other goodnight.

Then, Lin Tian posted an update on Bilibili, summarizing the night’s livestream.

At the same time he was writing the post, Bilibili’s homepage was already flooded with clips from their livestream.

The live performance version of "Ode to Love" was spreading everywhere even before Lin Tian could upload it himself.

.....

Originally, it was expected to be a dull rehash.

But when netizens heard the brand new version of the duet, they were all amazed and excited.

The completely different sound, deeper and purer emotions, and more touching music allowed people to deeply feel the growth of the two.

While many netizens were filled with emotions, they couldn’t help but lament:

If only this was performed in the Dragon Violin Cup finals, it would have been perfect!

The championship would undoubtedly belong to them!

...

Time pushes people constantly forward.

No matter the regrets and dissatisfaction of the past, everyone can only be forced to move forward, without exception. In this regard, fate is always very fair.

Monday.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu set off for Baijing Music University early in the morning.

Since it wasn’t their first time there, they were familiar with the way.

They had enrolled as early as September, but due to the Dragon Violin Cup, they had applied for a leave of absence and hadn’t been able to formally attend school.

Now that everything had come to an end, it was time to attend some classes properly.

When Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu appeared in the university classroom, it instantly caused a commotion.

All the students in the entire teaching building crowded the door of their classroom.

Everyone craned their necks to look inside, and the window side was immediately packed with students.

"It’s really them...."

"Wow, it’s really them."

"They’re really attending classes."

"Can we go ask for autographs?"

....

Whispers kept coming.

Although Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were in different majors and classes, because most of their classes had staggered schedules, they would choose to sit in on each other’s classes when free.

For example, this class was a piano lesson, and Gan Yanyu accompanied Lin Tian.

While Lin Tian listened, Gan Yanyu quietly listened to music with her earphones, resting her head on the desk, watching Lin Tian’s profile.

The class was taught by Chen Huming, a contemporary young pianist from Tian Chao.

Having taught at Tianyin for over a decade, it was the first time his class had so many students.

In university classrooms, as long as it doesn’t disturb the classmates, anyone is theoretically allowed to sit in if there are available seats.

At this moment, the class was packed with auditing students, filling every corner of the classroom, even the windows by the corridor outside were filled with eager eyes.

Despite having experienced countless grand events as a pianist, Chen Huming had never seen such a situation before.

Even the most renowned old professors in the academy might not have a class attended by such a staggering number of students!

Chen Huming felt like he was giving a lecture in a solemn and serious pub rather than teaching a class.

But, he wasn’t unaware of the reason for this situation.

At the moment, the pair sitting by the right window of the third row.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Everyone was there for them.

It was also Chen Huming’s first time teaching a class with the two of them present.

So, under such pressure,

After finishing a series of theoretical lectures, accompanied by a performance,

after the performance, Chen Huming cautiously raised his head, looked at the window seat, and called out,

"Lin Tian."

Upon hearing the teacher call his name, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned but immediately stood up.

"What do you think... about the part I just played?"

You’re asking me??

Lin Tian was dumbfounded after being called out, thinking, are you the teacher or am I?

However, he earnestly shared his true thoughts,

"The rhythm in the second measure of the first section was fast, the emotional peak was stretched too high, leading to insufficient momentum later, but overall it’s considered excellent....?"

When Lin Tian said this,

"Swish, swish——"

The sound of writing quickly spread throughout the classroom.

Turning his head, he saw a large number of students taking notes.

On the podium, teacher Chen Huming’s eyes became even more passionate:

"Say more... say more, Mr. Lin Tian."

...

Lin Tian spent almost the entire day in that kind of atmosphere.

He and Gan Yanyu became the focal point of every class.

The younger teachers, like Chen Huming, almost directly bombarded Lin Tian with questions, as if doubting their own teaching competency, constantly glancing at Lin Tian after every segment, feeling relieved only when Lin Tian didn’t react, before proceeding.

Lin Tian felt almost like he wasn’t there to attend classes but rather like an education department official auditing the class.

The more senior professors didn’t treat Lin Tian as significantly, but Lin Tian nevertheless became the primary target in their classes.

Almost every class saw him being called upon to answer questions or directly asked to perform demonstrations on the podium.

Gan Yanyu found herself in similar circumstances. When Lin Tian attended classes with her, she received the same treatment.

However, perhaps due to Gan Yanyu’s naturally aloof demeanor, which discouraged proximity, she was clearly disturbed less than Lin Tian, with fewer requests for autographs and photos.

And so,

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu concluded their first day at university.

Although they didn’t quite feel like college students, they generally felt they had gained a lot.

"Only after attending theory classes did I realize, so much in the cello has a method to it!"

Walking towards the school gate, Gan Yanyu excitedly shared her insights with Lin Tian.

Someone like Gan Yanyu, a "wild card" who had never attended a day of music school, relying solely on talent and performance to charge forward, found it quite fascinating to absorb academic knowledge into her mind.

Lin Tian patiently listened to Gan Yanyu’s talk, occasionally smiling and nodding.

They strolled leisurely on campus, at this moment resembling an ordinary, loving college couple, enjoying their leisurely time after class.

The crimson sunset cast long shadows of students walking in pairs on the road leading to the school gate.

The evening breeze carried a coolness, the pace was slow, as if carefree and without worries.

Upon reaching the school gate, Lin Tian’s phone notification chimed, and he paused.

Opening his phone, it was a voice message from He Zhichen.

[Come back quickly, there’s news from the Keller Cup!]

In the WeChat message, He Zhichen said urgently,

[Exactly as Elder Gan predicted! The organizers are now selecting another violinist of Tian Chao nationality from the Dragon Violin Cup finals to join Nannali in the competition!]

[The list is about to be announced, hurry back!]
