Chapter 115 Meet the Parents (4K)
"Yan Yu will be here soon. Remember to be careful with your words and don't always have such a sour face."
“.”
Fulai Hotel.
On the top floor, in the highest-end private room.
He Yu instructed the middle-aged man seriously.
That face, which was somewhat similar to Gan Yanyu, was filled with tension and worry.
Today, she and her husband Gan Sheng took a day off to visit their daughter whom they had not seen for a long time.
On the one hand, I wanted to understand and care about my daughter's recent life and I had something to say to her.
On the other hand, I also want to improve my relationship with my daughter and make up for the lack of love and care in the past.
“.”
In response to the woman's words, Gan Sheng simply crossed his hands over his chest, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
This silent middle-aged man exudes an aura of majesty without even being angry.
As if she felt that her husband didn't take it to heart, He Yu reminded him again: "It's rare that Yan Yu agreed to have dinner with us. Apart from that incident, don't mention other unhappy topics later."
"You've been against Yan Yu playing the cello, haven't you?"
Gan Sheng frowned.
“That was in the past.”
At this point, the woman sighed.
"When I opposed it, wasn't it because I was afraid that she would follow the old man's path?"
"The final result is that Yan Yu would rather live alone than be with us."
There was a hint of resentment in the man's impatient tone.
In fact, as a father, Gan Sheng does not have much resistance to his daughter's pursuit of her musical dream.
Back then, when he was still young, his father, Gan Yanyu's grandfather, Gan Hua, also wanted to train Gan Sheng in this direction.
Unfortunately, Gan Sheng had no interest in cello, let alone talent, and even had no feeling for classical music.
After studying for a few years as a student and realizing that he was not cut out for it, Gan Sheng never touched music again.
In his opinion.
A man's ambition is to go far.
A real man should do something big.
We should not focus on meaningless literary and artistic undertakings.
However, Gan Sheng did not follow his father's path in the end.
But after all, I tried hard to get in touch with him back then.
When he saw that Gan Yanyu was interested in this and really worked hard at it, achieving what he had failed to achieve because he gave up halfway, and chasing the old man's unfinished dream, Gan Sheng's feelings were complicated.
Perhaps, he also had some expectations in his heart.
He is looking forward to the day when he can see his daughter fulfill her father's dream. Therefore, Gan Sheng does not have such an extreme reaction to his daughter's cello as He Mao did.
It's best to give up, but there's no harm in continuing to play.
Even he felt.
He is very satisfied to see his daughter living a happy life because she has found her own path in life.
but,
He was quite wary of the boy who appeared in his daughter's video!
"Who is the boy who filmed the video with Yan Yu?"
Thinking of this, Gan Sheng couldn't help but ask again.
"Did you forget? Yan Yu mentioned it in a message a few days ago. That was her partner in music collaboration."
“‘Music’s partner.’”
It sounds like it's quite unreliable.
Although Gan Sheng is quite traditional in his ways of dealing with people, he is able to keep up with the thinking of young people because he spends a lot of time on the Internet.
So, when Gan Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but think about it more.
She is already a senior high school student, but she doesn't put her studies first. She takes Yan Yu to shoot short videos every day. I'm afraid her grades are very poor. To be honest, with such an identity.
Not biased.
I'm afraid it would be hard for any parent to like this after hearing it.
Could it be that he knew Yan Yu liked music and deliberately used this to get closer to her?
Especially, when I think about it, in that video.
Yan Yu actually said that she usually shot videos at that boy's home. Gan Sheng, who was usually steady, rubbed his hands anxiously at this moment.
“.”
“Here I come.”
Following He Yu's reminder, the door of the private room suddenly opened.
Gan Yanyu walked in.
"Yan Yu!"
He Yu stood up immediately.
Soon, behind Gan Yanyu.
A young man in a white shirt and holding a suit jacket in his hand also walked in with steady steps.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt."
Lin Tian stood at the door and spoke in a magnetic voice.
He Yu was slightly surprised at the first thought: "How handsome!"
Maybe it was because of the stereotype, but she always imagined Yan Yu's friend as someone with colorful hair, not doing his job, and having a sloppy image.
However, this young man, at this moment, not only wore a clean white shirt, but also had his hair neatly combed.
The most important thing.
It gives people the feeling that it seems to have a very good temperament.
Gan Sheng standing aside showed no expression, but his eyes became sharper.
"Sit down, sit down."
He Yu invited.
Lin Tian then walked to the table and sat down on the chair.
"This is my partner, Lin Tian."
After sitting down, Gan Yanyu neither greeted nor said any polite words.
Instead, he introduced Lin Tian first.
"He's from the same school as me, in the class next door."
"Uh-huh."
He Yu gave Lin Tian a polite smile and said, "We have all seen the video you and Yan Yu took."
"He plays the piano very well and writes excellent music."
This compliment is not just a simple courtesy.
Although He Yu didn't know much about music, she thought it was very good from the listening point of view. Combined with the good data of the two people's video, He Yu judged that this young man was indeed of a high level.
"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."
Lin Tian cooperated and became humble.
"Let's serve the food first."
He Yu clapped his hands and called the waiter who had been waiting outside the door, "The food can be served."
"OK."
The waitress bowed and turned to leave.
“.”
After greeting the waiter, He Yu turned his smiling face to Gan Yanyu and asked kindly,
"Yan Yu, how have you been lately—you seem to have gained weight?"
"Yes, I'm almost 90 kilograms now."
"So we should go back to school, right?"
"It's been a week."
“That’s great.”
"Um."
“.”
He Yu's enthusiasm and Gan Yanyu's indifference formed a sharp contrast.
But Lin Tian knew that it wasn’t that Gan Yanyu didn’t like them. If she really didn’t like them, she wouldn’t have come to have this meal.
It's purely Gan Yanyu's personality, and she hasn't let go in front of her parents yet.
After a pause, Gan Yanyu added,
"It's all because Lin Tian took good care of me during this period."
"Yeah."
"Lin Tian."
At this moment, Gan Sheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
He asked calmly, "How did you and Yan Yu know each other?"
The first sentence is such a question.
“I met him in a neighborhood.”
Lin Tian replied.
To be honest, Lin Tian has to thank them.
After all, they were responsible for one-third of Gan Yanyu's desire to commit suicide in the beginning.
If it weren’t for the rooftop adventure that day, Lin Tian wouldn’t have met Gan Yanyu.
"Okay, during this time, we were not with Yan Yu, and we really want to thank you for always being with this child."
Gan Sheng said frankly.
Even He Yu, who was standing by, did not expect these words.
For Gan Sheng, he just deals with the matter at hand.
Although he didn't know exactly what happened between this boy and Gan Yanyu.
However, it is a fact that Gan Yanyu has become more cheerful than before.
For this, we really have to thank Lin Tian.
However, Gan Sheng, who had just thanked him, suddenly changed the subject and spoke in a serious tone.
"Do you live alone now?"
Hearing this question and realizing what might happen, He Yu immediately nudged Gan Sheng with his calf under the table.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, this stubborn middle-aged man remained unmoved.
"Yes." Lin Tian said.
"Where are your family members?"
"I don't have any family. For so many years, I have lived alone."
18 years old, no parents, no background, living alone.
What is the difference between this and gay people? In the eyes of any parent, it is a disaster for their children to come into contact with them.
"No guardian?"
"No."
"you"
Gan Sheng paused.
Some words were too harsh to be heard, and he couldn't say them in front of Gan Yanyu.
At this time, He Yu came out and took the initiative to change the subject, "Then Lin Tian, where does your daily living expenses come from?"
"I used to work part-time, but now I make money by shooting short videos."
Lin Tian did not shy away and said.
“Can you earn so much?”
He Yu was a little surprised.
From what she understood, the cost for Lin Tian to shoot the video was not low.
Moreover, she even suspected that the reason why Gan Yanyu never asked them for money was because of Lin Tian's existence.
"Well, you can be more diligent."
"sharp."
He Yu was somewhat impressed.
He is handsome and more capable than most high school students.
If nothing else, this is talent.
Gan Sheng, who was standing by, was slightly touched when he heard this.
He spoke again, "Then Lin Tian, do you have any plans for the future now?"
This question was asked to Lin Tian as a high school student.
"Get into a good university first."
"You and Yan Yu go to the same school, No. 7 Middle School, right?"
"Um."
"No. 7 Middle School is a good school. Even if the grades are behind, they are not that bad."
Gan Sheng paused. The "poor" he used here did not mean that the grades were extremely bad.
But it refers to human beings.
In the eyes of a traditional middle-aged man in his forties, many young people who are uneducated and do not look serious are directly judged as "low-value" and "low-quality" families in his eyes.
He doesn't have that much time to distinguish which children are good kids and which children his children should not come into contact with.
But as long as you can study in a key high school, at least in terms of quality, you shouldn’t be too bad.
"In fact, Lin Tian ranked first in his grade in the last mock exam."
Gan Yanyu said from the side.
"First in the grade?"
Gan Sheng's expression suddenly relaxed.
"No. 1 in the grade at No. 7 Middle School?"
He Yu was also surprised.
As a native of Qingzhou, I naturally know the value of the results of Qingzhou No. 7 Middle School.
As a key high school with an admission score of over 68%, No. 7 High School has at least 60 students admitted to 985 universities every year.
He is the top student in the grade and the best among the top students.
If you can keep it up -
Stable C9, selected by Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Although it is just a mock exam, the college entrance examination is only half a year away, which is enough to prove his level.
Thinking of this, Gan Sheng was already a little uneasy: "You play music and shoot videos every day, and you can still stay first in the grade?"
"Of course not, it's not that exaggerated."
Lin Tian smiled and said,
"In the first mock exam, I experienced a serious decline and only ranked sixth in the grade."
Is it because of “playing music” and “making videos” that you “only” ranked sixth in the grade?
What a terrible statement.
Gan Sheng himself graduated from a prestigious university.
The life of college students in the last century was indeed much more difficult than that of this generation.
But Gan Sheng knew that he was admitted to the university because of his wealthy family background and educational resources that far exceeded those of ordinary people at that time.
If we only talk about the quality of college students, it is indeed not as good as it was decades ago, but if we only talk about the difficulty of competition in top universities.
In today's era when everyone has an education and high school students are extremely introverted, the difficulty is much greater.
"Yan Yu, you must learn from Lin Tian."
Upon hearing about such an outstanding student, He Yu, as a mother, couldn't help but activate her passive skills as a fancy parent.
From this point of view, Yan Yu is really lucky to meet Lin Tian.
"Auntie, you're too kind. I'm going to take the art exam next month. I need to learn a lot from Yan Yu."
"Are you an art student?" He Wei asked.
"Yes, I just decided to start learning it recently because I want to apply to the Flower-Growing Music Academy with Yan Yu."
"Have you started learning recently?" Gan Sheng asked.
With such good results, why did he choose to challenge himself? This reminded Gan Sheng of his youth.
"That's great. With your outstanding musical ability, if you are admitted to the Zhonghua Music Academy, you will have a bigger platform to display your talents."
He Yu said.
“.”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something.
Gan Sheng's mood became more and more complicated.
Such an outstanding young man, with outstanding looks, also shares the same hobbies with Yan Yu.
Doesn't this mean that it's normal for Yan Yu to fall in love with him?
He himself was young.
How could a boy like this not be popular in high school?
Maybe, now, the two of them have already... Thinking of this, Gan Sheng felt an unknown anxiety in his heart.
At this moment, looking at Lin Tian in front of him, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him.
“.”
Soon, the dishes were served one by one.
At this time, Lin Tian stood up and said,
"Excuse me, uncle and aunt, you guys eat first, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Um."
He Yu said with a smile and his eyes curved.
His eyes were already filled with love for this young boy.
From the conversation just now, He Yu has gone from being doubtful at the beginning to appreciating from the bottom of his heart now.
At least, from a woman's perspective, she knew that someone like Lin Tian would definitely be very popular with women no matter what era he was in.
After Lin Tian left, only Gan Yanyu and her parents were left in the box.
After eating quietly and being silent for a while.
"Yan Yu, actually we came to see you today because we have something we want to tell you."
Gan Sheng finally spoke.
Hearing this, Gan Yanyu was slightly startled and raised his head.
He Yu, who was standing aside, no longer had the smile on his face.
He looked at Gan Yanyu with some nervousness and worry.
"That boy named Lin Tian is very outstanding. I have no objection to him being my friend, but——"
“Keep your distance.”
