After seeing Gan Yanyu run out, Lin Tian was still stunned.
However, it didn't take long.
In an instant, the system interface exploded.
Turns out, after coming out of the foot bath shop, it had reached a [SAN value] of 43, and began to decrease rapidly!
[SAN value: 31↓]
[SAN value: 25↓]
[SAN value: 17↓]
[SAN value: 11↓]
....
Wait, dude?!
The real plummeting of SAN value has occurred.
Even when Lin Tian played horror games and was haunted by a female ghost, it didn't drop this fast!
You're not going to just die right here, are you?!
Lin Tian immediately chased after her.
When he saw that Gan Yanyu was heading towards the viral bridge, Lin Tian's heart had already chilled by half.
Below was the Qingzhou River.
Drowning is much more painful than dying from a fall!
Lin Tian wasn't good at swimming, if he really jumped, there was a high chance he'd die alongside.
So, what exactly happened just now?
Just a second ago, it was a joyous fan meeting.
Lin Tian was still wondering beside, was Gan Yanyu really that famous in the cello circle...
The next second, he saw Gan Yanyu running outside like she had lost her soul.
Lin Tian was dumbfounded!
Even stepping on explosives wouldn't be this fast!
By the time Lin Tian arrived at the bridge gasping for breath.
His gaze rapidly searched.
Finally, not far away, he saw Gan Yanyu leaning on the railing.
"Hey!"
Lin Tian shouted and quickly approached.
He grabbed Gan Yanyu by the shoulders,
"What are you runn..."
"Well."
Gan Yanyu turned around, showing her index finger.
On the index finger, a blue butterfly was gently flapping its wings.
"Is it pretty?"
The girl blinked and asked.
Lin Tian "..."
"Don't tell me you ran here chasing this butterfly."
"Hmm?? Can't I?" Gan Yanyu pursed her lips, a look of surprise on her face.
Who runs after a butterfly faster than Bolt??
Others would be holding their skirts, blending into the picture like a lady while chasing a butterfly, just for the gesture.
Your speed is like you are playing with life, are you trying to destroy it?
Lin Tian didn't indulge Gan Yanyu's attempt to shift the topic but instead turned serious and asked:
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?"
"How should I know what's wrong with you?"
"Then, of course, nothing's wrong."
"I see that you clearly have something wrong."
Gan Yanyu nodded slightly, a bitter smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
She raised her fingertip, the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away.
"My parents went somewhere else when I was three years old. From that time, I started living with grandpa."
"Yeah, my family situation is half better than yours."
"Half better?"
"You first." Lin Tian said.
Gan Yanyu turned to the side, leaning on the railing and gazing at the dark river surface.
The breeze brushed by, blowing the girl's fringe, and wildly sweeping across her delicate small face.
"From childhood, I dared not wish for anything, dared not ask for anything. I know, for me, not losing rather than gaining, is already the greatest fortune."
"If I could have just one request—"
"I want to play music, want to pull the cello, want to play the best songs in the world, I so deeply desire to keep playing the cello like this."
"This request shouldn't be too much, right... Lin Tian."
Gan Yanyu turned her face, looking towards Lin Tian.
In her brown eyes, a flicker of pleading shone.
Lin Tian was stunned.
"But..."
"Wait!"
Lin Tian interrupted Gan Yanyu.
He suddenly turned around, facing beyond the railing.
Catching the wind from the Qingzhou River, desperately trying to calm himself down.
Yet he couldn't manage to do so.
Hearing about her terminal illness directly from Gan Yanyu's lips...
With no parents since childhood, now having lost his grandpa, and afflicted by a terminal illness.
Speaking these matters out loud...
For a girl who had just turned 18, in the prime of her youth, it was simply too cruel!
"Gan Yanyu!"
"Ah...?"
Facing Lin Tian's sudden call, Gan Yanyu was somewhat dazed.
"Let's go! I'll take you somewhere!" Lin Tian waved his hand.
"Where to again?"
...
The taxi stopped on the national road at the mountainside.
Getting out of the car, the cool mountain breeze brushed against the girl's hair tips.
Beside them, was a rarely trodden main road, overgrown with weeds, occasionally a truck would rumble past.
"What place is this?"
Even Gan Yanyu, who grew up in Qingzhou, had never been here before.
"You'll know once you come here and see."
Lin Tian smiled mysteriously, speaking while walking ahead.
Stepping over the overgrown weeds, Gan Yanyu stepped onto the solid concrete.
Ahead of them was a platform, with protective railings at the edge of the mountainside.
Walking further forward, a brand new world appeared before their eyes.
The girl's pupils dilated in an instant...
It was a whole world.
Prosperous streets and high-rise buildings shimmered in the night, lights flickered like stars scattered on the horizon.
In the distance, the colorful neon lights intertwined into dazzling streams, draping the city in a garment of flowing radiance. The street traffic slowly flowed like winding streams of light.
The entire Qingzhou City, immersed in the embrace of the night.
In full view.
Seeing Gan Yanyu stunned, Lin Tian smiled, leaning on the railing, his tone carrying a hint of pride:
"From here, you can see the whole Qingzhou, it's even more beautiful than from any other place."
"Whenever I am troubled, I come here alone. Standing here, looking out, feeling my own insignificance in this city, with so many people in the world, and many things happening every day, it seems like other things... become less important..."
Lin Tian continued to introduce enthusiastically.
But Gan Yanyu had already started moving, slowly stepping over the railing.
?!
Lin Tian subconsciously tried to stop her, but the girl just sat on the railing.
Her clear eyes, filled with longing, reflected the colorful city, like a sea of stars....
"Lin Tian."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for bringing me here."
Gan Yanyu came down from the railing, "Can you help me take a photo?"
"Of course."
Lin Tian took out his phone, switching to the camera mode.
"I thought you didn't like taking photos."
An outdated WeChat profile picture, an empty Moments.
She didn't seem like someone who liked to record life.
The camera focused on Gan Yanyu.
Because it was backlit, the light was very dim, barely supported by the dim street lights.
But, it didn't affect the girl's looks.
Just standing there, she naturally exuded an atmosphere. Goddess-like, blending with the metropolis behind her.
"I want to show it to grandpa when I get there..."
Click—
Lin Tian, in his shock, pressed the camera button.
"Let me see."
Gan Yanyu came over, sticking her head out.
Pouting her lips:
"As expected, it's quite blurry..."
"Well, it's backlit after all."
Lin Tian intently looked at the photo, his heart trembling.
In the photo, with a vintage quality, Gan Yanyu stood there, giving a peace sign, her face showing a bright smile...
