CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 420: EXPEDITION CEREMONY

Seeing Xu Yong’s serious face, Lin Tian paused and then laughed.

This kid can actually speak like a normal person sometimes.

But—something about going through fire and water.

What help can this guy really offer?

"No need to go through fire and water."

Lin Tian said with a smile as he patted Xu Yong’s shoulder,

"You can start by covering the bill for this meal."

Hearing this, Xu Yong’s face changed instantly:

"Damn, weren’t you treating this meal?"

"You can treat as well."

"Damn..."

Xu Yong was suddenly at a loss. Although he didn’t know what level this restaurant was, based on its central location in Baijing City and the fact that it has more than a dozen floors, it was definitely not something a teenager like him could afford.

"You were just talking about braving fire and water, but you can’t even settle a bill?" Lin Tian said seriously.

The atmosphere instantly became cheerful. Su Ran also laughed along.

"Don’t mess with me, man."

Xu Yong said with a mournful face,

"How could I afford it? How about this, let me save up a bit more money, and when you come to Chuandu, you choose the restaurant, and I’ll pawn my pants to treat you to a big meal!"

"Alright, alright... I’m just joking with you."

Seeing Xu Yong so earnestly make a promise, Lin Tian didn’t tease him any further, as the guy had taken it seriously for once, and it wouldn’t be nice to continue teasing him.

Next, as most of the dishes were served, they began to eat with their chopsticks.

They chatted while eating, reminiscing from high school all the way to the college entrance exams.

Humorously enough, Gan Yanyu was not in the same class as the other three.

But in the end, after graduation, they remained the few friends left from high school.

Thinking back to that last month of intense revision for the college entrance exam, it’s really worth remembering.

During that sprinting time, apart from academics, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu also learned many other things.

Fortunately, all four of them achieved the results they desired in the end.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu made it to Tianyin, Xu Yong got into Chuandu University to study the animation major he always liked.

Su Ran is now at a top media university in Shanghai, which is quite fitting for the girl who was already a small internet celebrity with over a million Douyin followers during high school.

Looking back now, that time was the smoothest period for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

From that time, they always believed that as long as they put their heart into it, there was no reason they couldn’t succeed, almost preparing with a winning spirit.

If only music were that simple.

As they chatted, Su Ran suddenly asked:

"So when are you going to Vienna?"

"At the beginning of next year."

Lin Tian replied.

In fact, it’s just under a month away.

"This is your first time going abroad, right? It’s so nice, I haven’t been abroad yet..." Su Ran said enviously.

"Gan isn’t."

Lin Tian said. After all, Gan Yanyu dared to venture into the European music scene at the age of 16.

How Gan Yanyu lived in Europe during those two years remains a mystery to this day.

Because from Lin Tian’s understanding of Gan Yanyu afterwards, she didn’t seem like someone who could take care of herself in life, it’s hard to imagine her living in the UK alone.

Even now, Lin Tian feels that his relationship with Gan Yanyu has reached a point where there’s not much room for improvement, yet he still doesn’t understand!

Moreover, Lin Tian thinks that even if he married Gan Yanyu, there would still be many similar mysteries waiting for him to explore.

Gan Yanyu is a book that Lin Tian could spend a lifetime reading.

"Oh right, Gan went abroad for two years."

Su Ran slapped her forehead as she remembered.

"And Lin Tian isn’t either, Lin Tian has been to Japan!" Xu Yong chimed in with a tease.

"Oh right!" Su Ran widened her eyes,

"How strange... I feel like I have no impression of such things..."

"After all, that trip to Japan was my first time leaving Qingzhou."

Lin Tian took a sip of tea and said.

"So you can go to Vienna early next month? That’s so nice....."

Su Ran seemed to daydream about something wonderful, and wore a lovestruck smile, "Just got together and can immediately go on a honeymoon....."

"Are they going on a honeymoon? Su Ran, do you have nothing in your head besides romance?" Xu Yong attacked once again.

"Bah, what does it have to do with you? I’ve never daydreamed about you!"

"Ha, I think you can’t find someone yourself, so you can only imagine other couples as mental sustenance...."

Seeing the two of them about to start arguing right in front of him, reminiscent of their high school days, Lin Tian interrupted:

"Actually, it’s not that straightforward. We still need to win a competition before going to Vienna."

"There’s a competition?"

Su Ran asked in confusion, "Haven’t you already earned the right to participate?"

"It’s with Mr. Tuoba—one of our seniors."

Gan Yanyu explained,

"He said we have to beat him to qualify for the competition."

"What kind of reasoning is that?" Su Ran expressed her confusion.

Xu Yong, on the side, contemplated and said,

"Oh, so this is the reason you’ve been worried recently."

"Hmm?"

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were taken aback simultaneously.

Lin Tian didn’t recall telling Xu Yong that he was worrying about anything.

"Isn’t it obvious?"

Xu Yong shrugged,

"Suddenly calling your two high school classmates over for a gathering, and reminiscing for such a long time... You must be under a lot of pressure lately, right?"

"....."

Lin Tian laughed.

This guy is sharper than I thought.
