Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 718 - 448: A Small Reward During Training_2

"Little Gan."

At this moment, Mr. Lin Tian seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly looked seriously at Gan Yanyu,

"In terms of performance, you understand. What kind of performance do you think would make a group of people, who've suppressed classical music for 20 years, willing to award the Keller Cup to classical music?"

These words weren't meant to find fault.

Rather, Mr. Lin suddenly wanted to hear Gan Yanyu's thoughts.

"About this..."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yanyu immediately sat up from the ground, her little face suddenly turning very serious,

"I think we must prove to everyone that classical music is irreplaceable!"

"Then what kind of performance could prove to them that classical music is irreplaceable?"

"A performance with profound emotions."

Gan Yanyu said without hesitation,

"Only classical music can display such deep emotions... irreplaceable, no other genre can match classical music in emotional depth."

"Then how do we perform it?"

"I don't know."

Gan Yanyu shook her head,

"I don't know what kind of 'profound emotion' could touch the hearts of those seniors on the jury."

Indeed,

If Little Gan knew, they wouldn't be sitting here idly.

"However..."

At this point, Gan Yanyu lifted her head,

"Although I don't know how to perform it, I know what elements are indispensable."

"What?"

"A classical piece that is emotionally moving, and the profound emotion from the performer themselves..."

"Then..."

"Now, we already have a piece that's moving enough."

Gan Yanyu looked at the score of the "Requiem" on the table—it wasn't an exaggeration to call it a masterpiece.

Then, the young girl looked at Mr. Lin.

The meaning was clear.

Both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu still lacked the profound emotion that could resonate with everyone.

For a performer to touch the audience, they must first fall into the emotion "earlier" than the audience.

Ultimately, it's still about emotion.

.......

As they sat in thought for a moment, their thoughts grew increasingly muddled.

Lin Tian suddenly stood up, took out his phone, and waved it in front of Gan Yanyu.

"Want some pudding...?"

Hardly had Lin's words been spoken when Gan Yanyu quickly darted to his shoulder like a kitten, her jewel-blue eyes wide open,

"Really?!"

"Weren't we not supposed to eat during seclusion?"

"Today's an exception," Mr. Lin said, "We've been training for several days; it's time to reward ourselves."

"Great!!"

Gan Yanyu happily raised her hands, then threw her arms around Mr. Lin's neck, her small seed-shaped face rubbing against his neck,

"You're so good, Mr. Lin Tian, Mr. Lin, you're really good...!!"

"Alright, alright."

Mr. Lin's ears turned bright red from Yanyu's hair rubbing against them, and he then searched for a highly-rated nearby dessert shop on his phone and placed an order.

.....

Half an hour later, the delivery arrived.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu sat cross-legged on the living room floor. Mr. Lin took the rabbit cage off the small round table and placed it on the ground, then put the delivery bag on the table.

Because Gan Yanyu cleaned diligently on weekdays, Rabbit's cage was almost odorless.

As the pudding bottles were taken out from the delivery packaging, the young girl, with her hands folded, was almost glowing with excitement.

Lin Tian picked up a pudding bottle and held it under the living room light, discovering it was made of glass, explaining why it was so much more expensive than those from normal dessert shops.

"I'll start eating now!"

Gan Yanyu grabbed a cup of pudding, tore open the small plastic spoon, unwrapped the seal on the bottle cap, and gently placed a small piece of the shiny pudding into her mouth.

Very fast, very fast indeed!

The expression on Gan Yanyu's little face, within 0.1 seconds of the spoon touching her tongue, was instantly overwhelmed with bliss. She cradled her cheeks, closed her eyes, and made an exceptionally sweet sound:

"Mm~ Delicious!!"

"If it's delicious, eat more, we can order more if it's not enough."

Mr. Lin smiled. He himself did not particularly enjoy sweets, but he simply loved seeing Yanyu's blissful expression whenever she ate sweets. It was sweeter than if he had eaten it himself.

This was the first time since they had been in seclusion that Mr. Lin saw Gan Yanyu smiling so happily.

Amidst the pressure and annoyance, Gan Yanyu's smile was like a breeze sweeping away all the mundane dust of the world.

"Look, doesn't Rabbit want to eat too!"

Gan Yanyu suddenly exclaimed, covering her mouth with surprise, pointing at the cage.

Mr. Lin looked over, and sure enough, Rabbit, who was originally lying like a corpse in the cage, had stood upright, with its short front legs on the cage, its big round eyes watching the pudding in Yanyu's hands.

"I've noticed; it seems curious about everything unfamiliar!" Gan Yanyu said.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

Gan Yanyu said, "From the first day in my room, it kept staring at me and the sofa's stuffed toys. When it came to your house, maybe you didn't notice, but it was actually very interested in your piano....."

"Do rabbits really have the ability to think about these things?" Mr. Lin wondered.

He thought that such small animals, with their simple brains, should only ever think of two things every day—

"Ah~ Want to eat!"

"Ah~ Want to poop!"

These two desires.

"Mm~! Rabbit is very smart; you just never paid close attention to it, Mr. Lin." Gan Yanyu shook her head.

Her reproach left Mr. Lin unable to retort; he indeed hadn't paid much attention to the little rabbit.

"So, with it being so smart, does it know its life will be short?"

"It knows."

Gan Yanyu said,

"It knows."

The girl looked at the rabbit's eyes and understood from the first day she met it.

"If it knows it's destined for a short life, then what is the point of exploring so much?"

Mr. Lin asked.

In fact,

Many obviously 'smarter' animals, like dogs, pigs, cows... when they realize they're about to die, their demeanor significantly changes.

Yet unbelievably, a rabbit that clearly perceives its impending death still maintains such enthusiasm for life, tirelessly moving around in its cage every day.

Like now.....

Rabbit clung to the cage, its gaze skipping back and forth between Gan Yanyu and her pudding, its hind legs pacing as if it wanted to try some too.

Gan Yanyu opened a new spoon, scooped a small piece of pudding, and brought it to Rabbit's little mouth....

"Can rabbits eat this?"

"Doesn't matter, it's going to die anyway, why not enjoy the moment?"

Gan Yanyu said with a smile.

Pudding reached Rabbit's mouth; the little rabbit's mouth kept nibbling, the soft little treat seemed to leave an unknown impression on Rabbit.

"Finished!"

After gulping down four cups of pudding, Gan Yanyu raised her hands, letting out a satisfied sound.

"The next time we have pudding will be when we win the championship."

"Mm!"

Gan Yanyu nodded vigorously,

"Then let's wait until after we win!"

...

...

In the morning, Lin Tian was woken by a call from Gan Yanyu.

Upon entering Gan Yanyu's room, he saw Rabbit lying motionless in the cage.

Most likely, it was dead.

This Haki Rabbit didn't go to heaven nor to Rabbit Star, it just died, and its death was quite painful, already dead beyond dead, without reincarnation.

"....."

Although he had long anticipated this outcome, Mr. Lin's feelings were undeniably complex.

He turned his head to look at Gan Yanyu.

The young girl stared at the cage without saying a word.

When she turned her head, her expression seemed to carry a slight sense of relief and release:

"Tomorrow's the competition."

"Let's do our best."
