"So brave!"
This was the honest thought of the many onlookers in the crowd at that very moment.
Why were the rumors about Lin Tian still just rumors after so long?
It was because no one had asked!
Information about entertainment in high school spreads incredibly fast.
Lin Tian's video went viral last night, and within a single day, it had been shared throughout the female circles of the entire grade!
Now that someone had finally asked, everyone became excited.
However, upon hearing the question, Lin Tian merely smiled.
"Who cares about that kind of relationship?"
With that, Lin Tian walked away without looking back.
He didn't stop until he was completely out of the school gates and had walked dozens of meters further.
Lin Tian found a wall to lean on and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"That was terrifying."
He hadn't expected to encounter this kind of Japanese-style school drama himself.
This kind of question was clearly a death trap.
If he said no, Lin Tian would likely never have a peaceful day at school again.
If he said yes...
It would quickly lead to the classic trope in light novels where someone pretends to be a girlfriend to solve his problems.
Reading and replying haphazardly would probably only make the rumors spread more wildly.
No matter how he answered, once it got out, it would be a significant hassle.
So, when someone asked if he had a girlfriend, he said it wasn't important.
After all, whether he did or not, they could guess.
If all else failed, he could use his statement to imply that he didn't have a girlfriend, but he did have a female "partner" to brush it off.
However, what Lin Tian didn't know was that asking teenage high school girls to guess gossip about a handsome guy...
Would only make the rumors more outrageous.
The bewildered girls stood there, stunned.
"A girlfriend relationship? He doesn't care?"
"Does that mean he has a girlfriend, but Senior Lin Tian looks down on her?"
"Or maybe the senior is flirting with many girls at the same time, but none of them have officially become his girlfriend!"
"..."
The girls' gossiping instincts kicked into high gear, and they began to discuss animatedly.
The girl who had asked the question earlier, however, suddenly said sternly:
"Senior Lin Tian doesn't seem like the type to play with girls' feelings!"
"Didn't you see Senior Lin Tian's dismissive smile just now?! I think what the senior meant is that his relationship with his partner has already surpassed the word 'girlfriend'!"
"It's a true, pure, what's the word... yes! A soulmate! Perhaps it was because of that girl that Senior Lin Tian delivered last night's performance today!"
This statement quickly garnered the agreement of many girls.
"That makes sense! No matter how you think about it, Senior Lin Tian couldn't possibly not have a partner!"
"I was too shallow. Someone as amazing as the senior must be different from ordinary people!"
"I really want to know, what kind of girl is it that always stays by his side?"
Lin Tian pushed open his apartment door and returned home.
He habitually tossed his keys onto the shoe rack, changed into his slippers, and walked into the living room.
Suddenly, something felt strange.
Lin Tian looked around in confusion.
The house he had lived in for three years suddenly felt both unfamiliar and familiar for the first time.
Wait, Why was it so clean?
Lin Tian finally realized.
The house looked as if it had been renovated. The floor was spotless, and the tables, doors, and windows all gleamed, as tidy as if it had just been decorated.
Even the nooks and crannies that Lin Tian never bothered to clean were now unbelievably clean.
What is this all about?
Suddenly, Lin Tian noticed a note on the dining table.
He opened it to find a message:
[Ding! Mr. Lin Tian~ Please sign for your new home! (ˊωˋ)*]
So cute.
But, is this Gan Yan Yu's style?
Lin Tian realized.
This must be what Gan Yan Yu did when she cleaned up for him before leaving last night.
At that time, Gan Yan Yu had taken all of his belongings and left with the conviction that she wouldn't return and was prepared to die.
He could imagine it.
The girl spent the entire afternoon cleaning the house inside and out.
Then she stood in the center of the living room, hands on her hips with pride, and wrote this note for him with a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Tian gave a wry smile.
He couldn't imagine.
If Gan Yan Yu had died last night, and Lin Tian had returned home to find this note, what would he have felt?
That idiot.
She wasn't afraid at all that he'd be unable to sleep for three days after reading the note.
Even Kaori Miyazono knew to approach Kosei Arima as "Friend A" so as not to affect him after she was gone, only wishing that Kosei Arima wouldn't miss her after her death.
You, on the other hand, immediately grabbed Kosei Arima by the collar and confessed, then after getting together, you had 24-hour high-intensity sweet dates, followed by "I'm going to have your babies," and "When we get married, we must go to the Maldives," which are top-tier death flags.
It's as if you're afraid Kosei Arima will be able to live on after you're gone.
Lin Tian sat on the sofa and brought up the system interface.
The system had already notified him that he had rewards to claim earlier this morning, but he had kept putting it off until now.
[Name: Gan Yan Yu]
[Occupation: Cellist]
[Current Stress Tolerance: C↑]
[Sanity Points: 86↑]
[Health Status: Very Poor]
[All indicators have met the qualification standards, Producer Supplies can be claimed!]
Lin Tian chose [Open Supplies].
[Obtained: Massage Skill (Master Level)
Passive Skill: Copyright Registration (All works by the producer and partner will be automatically copyrighted, including previously released works.)]
Why is there also a Massage Skill?
Is he really supposed to give her foot massages?
Lin Tian rubbed his chin, his gaze returning to Gan Yan Yu's status bar.
The efforts from last night had been quite effective.
Her sanity points had basically returned to normal levels, and her stress tolerance had also significantly increased.
However, her health status remained worrying.
Her mental health seemed to be fine, but her physical health couldn't be ignored.
After all, at 166 cm tall and weighing just over 40 kilograms, it was truly a bit much.
Especially when wearing a slip dress, her collarbones and joints were particularly prominent.
Many girls might like such a slender figure, but for Gan Yan Yu, if she could regain her health, she would surely be even more beautiful than she was now.
If she wants to chase her dreams, this kind of body won't do!
Gan Yan Yu's rehabilitation plan must be carefully formulated during tomorrow's practice.
The next day, Saturday.
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong ding dong ding dong!"
In the morning, Lin Tian's doorbell rang incessantly.
Woken up, Lin Tian sat up in bed, rubbing his sleepy, hazy eyes and looking at his phone displaying "7:34," cursing under his breath.
On a weekend, how could anyone be up so early?
Lin Tian yawned and walked towards the door.
However, the young man's sleepiness vanished the moment he opened the door.
Gan Yan Yu, wearing an elegant green dress and a side ponytail, stood at the door with her cello.
She looked full of energy and vitality.
"Lin Tian, please take care of me during practice today."
