Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist

As soon as these words were spoken.

A noticeable trace of panic flashed across Gan Yanyu's face.

"No... no... just a bit..."

Gan Yanyu said softly.

"Your mind's in chaos."

Lin Tian said.

Obviously, this time Gan Yanyu's problem was quite evident and very real.

In fact, Gan Yanyu seldom took the initiative to confide in Lin Tian about worries regarding upcoming competitions.

Initially, Gan Yanyu would candidly express her nervousness and anxiety to Lin Tian, but as their ensemble became more and more proficient, it almost never happened.

Maybe because she didn't want her negative emotions to burden Lin Tian, or maybe Gan Yanyu just didn't want to express them.

In short, in terms of mindset regarding competitions, Lin Tian rarely heard Gan Yanyu proactively talking about her negative emotions to him.

But that doesn't mean,

Gan Yanyu doesn't say it, she doesn't have them.

In fact, Gan Yanyu has always been very strong-willed.

Her desire for victory doesn't get expressed in words, but she has always practiced it through her actions.

"There's no way around it."

Gan Yanyu sighed gently,

"I've been trying hard to adjust my mindset, but the voices in my head are really loud."

"What voices?"

"Like if we lose here, all our efforts would be in vain... dreams would be unfulfilled... sorry to Grandpa... those kinds of things."

Gan Yanyu spoke while earnestly gesturing with her hands.

The girl had an innocent look on her face, but the determination in her eyes was genuine.

"..."

"True."

With that said, Lin Tian finally understood the root of the problem.

The piece "Moonlight" itself is like a scene that needs a calm heart to appreciate.

What Gan Yanyu needs to do is shift her mindset.

To transform the usual narrative immersion into stepping out of the scene, from a bird's-eye view, presenting this beautiful scene.

For Gan Yanyu, such a transformation breaks her traditional way of playing, which might be difficult.

But it is by no means to the extent that it's impossible.

And right now, it's precisely the anxiety and worry inside Gan Yanyu that are influencing her, making her unable to detach from the scene.

That's why Lin Tian said she's—her mind's in chaos.

Even if Gan Yanyu seemed unaffected by this in life.

However, music doesn't lie.

Lin Tian could hear the anxiety in Gan Yanyu's playing.

"..."

Lin Tian took a deep breath and came to Gan Yanyu's side.

He placed his hand on Gan Yanyu's shoulder, gently running his fingers through her hair until he touched her neck.

The girl's body tensed up as if electrified, her neck instantly retracted.

But, looking into Lin Tian's eyes, Gan Yanyu slowly straightened her neck again.

"Mr. Gan, listen to me."

Lin Tian said,

"This competition is not everything for us."

"Even if we fall in the semifinals of the Dragon Violin Cup, we have another chance in two years... it's really okay."

"Like I said, no matter how many years, I'll fight alongside you!"

.....

Lin Tian knew, the best way now.

Is to let Gan Yanyu regard this competition as just an ordinary performance!

Excessive pressure has already stripped Gan Yanyu of her ability to judge.

The word "dream" is too heavy.

Unknowingly, it has become completely entangled with the competition.

"....."

Gan Yanyu remained silent, her gaze slightly falling.

"Didn't you once say?"

Lin Tian said,

"Our dream is to let more people hear our classical music. Winning the Keller Cup is certainly a great platform, but it was never a single choice, right?"

This is what Lin Tian has always wanted to say to Gan Yanyu.

This competition was never the only one.

It's not necessary to win the champion to realize their dreams.

Of course, they would strive for the championship.

But even if they lost, it wouldn't be too bad.

"Even if we lose in the semifinals here, we've already done so much up to now."

"We've broken the sales record for Tian Chao classical music, we've hosted the coolest classical concert... aren't these bringing us close to our dream....."

.....

"Hmm."

Gan Yanyu nodded,

"Yeah, it should be very close..."

Gan Yanyu murmured, but her expression didn't look relieved.

Lin Tian knew it would still take time for Gan Yanyu to work on adjusting all this.

This might not be an easy task, but Gan Yanyu must do it.

Only when she truly doesn't care about the outcome of this competition.

Could they win this competition!

.....

At this moment, Lin Tian stood up,

"Let's go for a stroll."

"A stroll?"

Gan Yanyu looked at Lin Tian in surprise,

"With the performance like this, shouldn't we practice some more?"

Just now, things had gone horribly wrong.

If it were up to Gan Yanyu, she'd definitely pull an all-nighter to practice.

Yet Lin Tian wanted to take her out for a walk.

There weren't many days left until the competition after all!

"You just said, your problem now is not about playing well, it's a mindset issue."

Lin Tian raised his index finger and said earnestly,

"Since it's a mindset issue, we must go out to adjust the mindset!"

Going for a trip, relaxing the nerves.

Once Gan Yanyu figured it out, perhaps she'd be fine.

"How about we try once more....."

Gan Yanyu said weakly, feeling uncomfortable about going out in this current state.

"It's okay, we'll have plenty of time to practice when we come back at night."

Gan Yanyu still wanted to say something.

Lin Tian turned his head and suddenly said mysteriously,

"I came across a fantastic local dessert shop in Baijing on Little Red Book....."
