Lin Tian froze upon hearing this.

See a doctor?

What kind of illness requires a year off school and special treatment abroad?

A terrible suspicion began to form in Lin Tian's mind.

Gan Yan Yu, this young girl of only 18 years old...

...didn't have much time left.

If that were the case, many things would suddenly make sense.

Why would she want to leave this world before fulfilling Grandpa Gan's dying wish?

Why did her words always hint that she could no longer continue playing?

Why, when they first met, did she deliberately lean into him to avoid causing him trouble?

If it were a girl with a terminal illness...

...it would seem to make sense.

Otherwise, if she simply wanted to commit suicide after suffering some major blow, without even fulfilling her grandfather's wish...

At least, Lin Tian felt, Gan Yan Yu wasn't that kind of person.

She was definitely more than just a pretty face. The brilliance in her eyes when she spoke of music... Lin Tian absolutely refused to believe that.

"Hello? Lin Tian, did you hear me?!"

"Hello? Hello??"

On the other end of the line, Xu Yong's voice repeatedly called out.

"Mhm, I heard you."

"Actually, when you brought her here today, I felt something was off about her aura. Lin Tian, I'm going to say something blunt, not out of jealousy or anything, just speaking as a brother."

Xu Yong's tone suddenly became very serious.

"Go on."

"This girl, you'd better stay away from her. I really think there's something wrong, and if something happens, you'll be in big trouble."

"I understand."

Lin Tian hung up the phone and let out a soft sigh.

Xu Yong's words were indeed for his own good.

How could he not understand that?

Once Gan Yan Yu committed suicide, the police would investigate.

They'd find out that this girl had basically been with him for the past two days, eating together, shopping together...

At that point, Lin Tian would definitely be in serious trouble.

Not to mention whether Gan Yan Yu's family would come looking for him, the gossip within the school alone would be enough to drown Lin Tian.

Don't underestimate the terrifying public opinion atmosphere of a high school campus.

Moreover, this had already been determined to be an extremely unprofitable deal, one that could be considered a complete loss.

Someone who didn't have much time left, what kind of "partner" could they be? Let alone embark on a venture together...

Lin Tian understood all the logic.

But it was impossible for him to give up now.

He couldn't bear to watch someone he had interacted with die like that.

If, from the very beginning, he hadn't rushed to the rooftop after drinking that cup of coffee, perhaps so many things wouldn't have happened.

Caffeine really is a menace!

Since he had already become involved in this story, Lin Tian was determined to see it through to the end himself.

Lin Tian put down his phone and returned to the dessert shop.

On the table, the strawberry pudding cup was only about a third full.

Gan Yan Yu's head was resting on the table.

Carefully, she used the spoon in her hand to chip away small pieces.

Then she put them in her mouth, a look of satisfied enjoyment on her face.

She's acting like a child.

Lin Tian used to do that when he was little too.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford to eat anymore, but rather that savoring the last bit of delicious food bit by bit was a rather pleasant process.

It's just that as he grew up, he sometimes realized how silly he looked.

He was quite envious of Gan Yan Yu's uninhibited way of living.

"Gan Yan Yu."

Lin Tian called out, and the girl quickly looked up.

She stared blankly at Lin Tian.

"Let's go get a foot wash!"

Lin Tian said heartily.

From now on, forget about producers, forget about system tasks.

Everything is cast aside!

In the final moments of his life, Lin Tian wanted to give Gan Yan Yu the happiest time.

To make sure she hadn't come into this world in vain.

Golden Impression.

This was a lavishly decorated foot massage parlor located in a bustling downtown area.

Lin Tian had visited this very place yesterday.

"Welcome~"

As they entered, two attractive hostesses at the door bowed to them.

The moment they stepped into the lobby, they quickly drew the attention of others.

A man and a woman, both high school students.

Here for a foot wash??

These high schoolers really know how to live!

The receptionist at the counter also did a double-take when she saw Lin Tian.

She had served Lin Tian the previous night. Because 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, she was even more surprised.

He was satisfied after one foot wash.

So he brought his girlfriend the next day for one too?!

In all her years working here, this was the first time she'd encountered something like this.

And this young lady was quite lovely, looking like a well-bred daughter from a wealthy family.

Are today's high schoolers just too awesome?!

"Hello!"

Lin Tian placed the 399 coupon on the counter.

"Can this be used?"

"Yes, but it can only be used on packages priced at 600 yuan or more."

"600 or more..."

Lin Tian glanced at Gan Yan Yu beside him and thought for a moment.

"Then arrange that one for us!"

Ten minutes later.

When Technician Number Seven, dressed in her high school student uniform, pushed open the door and saw Lin Tian, along with the girl beside him.

Her face instantly turned green.

"I can't take this order!!"

Just as the technician was about to turn and leave to shout, Lin Tian quickly stopped her.

"Don't rush, I'm not the one getting the wash, my friend is."

Lin Tian smiled and pointed to Gan Yan Yu.

The technician glared, her face filled with indignation!

She thought back to what happened yesterday and was furious. Dressed in a student outfit, she had been inexplicably humiliated by someone younger than her.

After going back, she hadn't slept well.

At three in the morning, she jolted upright in bed.

Seriously, was he sick?!

Today, seeing Lin Tian return, and even bringing a female high school student with him.

The technician was at her breaking point!

What was this?

A live demonstration??

As if saying to the female masseuse: "Your imitation of a high school girl yesterday wasn't good. I've brought you a real one today, so watch and learn properly."

The most hellish scenario imaginable unfolded.

A 24-year-old female masseuse, who was cosplaying as a high school girl at the foot massage parlor, was now about to give a real high school girl a foot wash.

EZ.

Take on a disciple.

Switch to manual operation.

Content Bureau.

Find the gap yourself.

Despite her inner turmoil, she had no choice. She had been scolded by her supervisor yesterday for her sudden departure, so she definitely couldn't go on strike today.

The masseuse turned to Gan Yan Yu beside her and said:

"Ma'am, please follow me this way, let's go wash up first."

"Okay," Gan Yan Yu replied softly.

It was her first time in a place like this, so the young girl was quite nervous.

She didn't know why this older sister looked so distressed, but since Lin Tian was here, she figured nothing bad would happen, right?
