Lin Tian froze when he heard that.
Medical treatment?
What kind of illness required her to suspend school for a year and go abroad specifically for treatment?
A terrifying suspicion vaguely arose in Lin Tian's heart.
Gan Yan Yu, this girl who was only eighteen years old.
She did not have much time left.
If that was the case, then many things seemed explainable.
Why did she want to leave this world before fulfilling Grandpa Gan's final wish?
Why did her words always imply that she might not be able to keep playing music?
Why, when they first met, had she taken the initiative to lean against him just so she would not cause him trouble?
If it were a girl suffering from a terminal illness.
Then it seemed to make sense.
Otherwise, if she merely wanted to kill herself after suffering some major blow, even abandoning her grandfather's final wish.
At the very least, Lin Tian did not think Gan Yan Yu was that kind of person.
She was definitely not just a pretty vase. Whenever she spoke of music, the brilliant galaxy in her eyes made Lin Tian refuse to believe that.
"Hey? Lin Tian, did you hear me?!"
"Hello? Hello??"
Xu Yong's voice kept calling out from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, I heard you."
"Actually, when you brought her over today, I already felt that something was off about her aura. Lin Tian, I'm going to say something unpleasant here. It's not jealousy or anything—I'm purely speaking as your brother."
Xu Yong's tone suddenly turned very serious.
"Go ahead."
"You'd better stay away from that girl. Something really feels wrong with her. If anything happens, you'll be in serious trouble."
"I know."
Lin Tian hung up and let out a soft sigh.
What Xu Yong said truly was for his own good.
How could he not understand that?
Once Gan Yan Yu killed herself, the police would investigate.
They would find that over the past two days, the girl had basically been with him the entire time. They had eaten together and gone shopping together.
When that happened, Lin Tian would definitely be in deep trouble.
Leaving aside whether Gan Yan Yu's family would come knocking, the rumors at school alone would be enough to drown Lin Tian.
Never underestimate the terrifying atmosphere of public opinion in a high school.
Besides, this was already clearly an extremely unprofitable deal—one where he would lose everything.
What kind of partner could someone with little time left be? Let alone going out and building a career together.
Lin Tian understood all the logic.
But asking him to give up now was impossible.
He could not watch someone whose life had intersected with his die like that.
If he had not rushed to the rooftop after drinking that cup of coffee in the first place, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Let's just blame caffeine for ruining lives!
Since he had already become involved in this story, Lin Tian would personally bring it to an end.
Lin Tian put away his phone and returned to the dessert shop.
Only a third of the strawberry pudding cup remained on the table.
Gan Yan Yu had her head resting on the table.
Carefully chipping away tiny pieces with the spoon in her hand.
Then putting them into her mouth, her face showing satisfied enjoyment.
Why was she like a child?
Lin Tian had liked doing that when he was little too.
It was not that he had been too poor to afford food. Slowly savoring the last bits of something delicious was simply a rather pleasant experience.
It was just that after growing up, he would sometimes realize that he looked pretty stupid doing it.
He rather envied Gan Yan Yu's carefree way of living.
"Gan Yan Yu."
At Lin Tian's call, the girl swiftly raised her head.
She stared blankly at Lin Tian.
"Come on, let's get a foot massage!"
Lin Tian declared boldly.
From now on, forget being a producer, forget system missions.
Throw them all aside!
In her final moments, Lin Tian would give Gan Yan Yu the happiest time possible.
This trip to the human world would not have been in vain.
Golden Impression.
It was a lavishly decorated foot spa located in a bustling downtown area.
This was the same place Lin Tian had come to yesterday.
"Welcome~"
As they entered, two rather attractive hostesses bowed to them at the door.
The moment they entered the lobby, they quickly drew everyone else's attention.
A boy and a girl, two high school students.
Here for a foot massage??
High school students these days really knew how to live!
The receptionist was also stunned when she saw Lin Tian.
She had served Lin Tian last night. Since the young man was indeed very handsome, he had left a deep impression on her, and she recognized him immediately.
Seeing him with a girl beside him today shocked her even more.
He had gotten a foot massage once and enjoyed it.
So he had brought his girlfriend along the very next day to get one too?!
After working in this industry for so many years, it was the first time she had encountered something like this.
And this little girl was quite lovely, looking like the well-bred daughter of a wealthy family.
Were high school students these days not a little too outrageous?!
"Hello!"
Lin Tian placed the 399-yuan coupon on the counter.
"Can I use this?"
"Yes, but it can only be used on packages above 600 yuan."
"Above 600, huh."
Lin Tian glanced at Gan Yan Yu beside him and thought for a moment.
"Then arrange that one for me!"
Ten minutes later.
When the Number Seven female technician, dressed in a high school uniform, pushed open the door and saw Lin Tian and the girl beside him.
Her face instantly turned green.
"I can't take this job!!"
The female technician had just turned to run outside and shout when Lin Tian hurriedly stopped her.
"Don't panic. I'm not getting one. My friend is."
Lin Tian smiled and pointed at Gan Yan Yu beside him.
The female technician glared at him, her face twisted in grievance!
Just thinking about yesterday made her fury rise.
Dressed in a student uniform, she had inexplicably been humiliated by someone younger than herself.
After going back, she had not slept well at all.
At three in the morning, she had suddenly bolted upright in bed.
No, was there something wrong with him?!
Today, Lin Tian had actually come again—and even brought a female high school student.
The female technician was about to break down!
What was this?
On-site instruction??
It was as though he were telling her: the high school girl you played yesterday didn't look convincing, so I brought you a real one today. Watch carefully and learn.
The most hellish image had appeared.
A twenty-four-year-old female technician who cosplayed as a schoolgirl at a foot spa now had to wash the feet of an actual high school girl.
EZ.
Taking on an apprentice.
Switching to a real person.
Reference material round.
Find the gap yourself.
Though she was utterly devastated inside, she had no choice. Yesterday, she had been scolded by her supervisor for running off midway through the job. Today, she definitely could not go on strike again.
The female technician could only turn to Gan Yan Yu and say:
"Ma'am, come this way with me. Take a shower first."
"Okay." Gan Yan Yu replied softly.
Since it was her first time in a place like this, the girl was rather nervous.
Although she did not know why this older sister looked so distressed, with Lin Tian here, nothing should happen, right?
