"Where in Tokyo is there an ocean? You have to go to another city," Lin Tian complained.
"Ah~ Then might as well take a detour there."
"We are going there for a competition, why are you thinking about playing?"
"I haven’t been out for a long time... It’s been long since I went to the beach too, let’s go for a short while."
Gan Yanyu’s voice softened, speaking somewhat guiltily.
Lin Tian was somewhat startled,
"Little Gan, is it because I call you ’classmate’ that your playfulness really bursts out like a student?"
Where could you find a Mr. Gan who would willingly stick around and play?
No wonder everyone says girls need to be coaxed.
With the change of address, the fragile side of human nature is revealed.
Lin Tian began to miss the career-minded Gan Yanyu, who at most asked him to take her out for desserts.
Hearing Lin Tian say that, Gan Yanyu on the other end of the phone apparently didn’t catch on.
After a silence that lasted three seconds.
Gan Yanyu’s voice suddenly became serious again:
"But Lin Tian, didn’t we decide to depart a week early just for this?"
Indeed, that was He Zhichen’s idea.
This time, He Zhichen, as the agent, will accompany Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu for the entire trip.
Setting off to Japan seven days in advance was He Zhichen’s idea—company expenses, a company-funded trip—allowing them to enjoy a few days in Japan before the competition.
This matter was known by He Zhichen, Pu Yidan, and the old chairman. It was an intentional green light, considered as giving them a vacation.
That was supposed to be.
During this time, "Moonlight and Cat" nearly went crazy at Le Yun.
Not to mention in Qingjiang, the value of being the Yingqin Cup champion is something worth specially mentioning for a local music management company like Le Yun. Just these two months, the new albums by Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu have broken sales records in classical music.
Such productivity, such sales... it’s unknown how many times they’ve outshone other musicians within the company.
"Moonlight and Cat Studio" naturally should be treated royally within the company.
As the agent, He Zhichen also benefited, obtaining more than half a month of company-paid vacation time.
However, before departing, He Zhichen still informed them both.
This time, besides "Moonlight and Cat," there was another singer under Le Yun going with them to another performance event in Tokyo.
Reportedly a near first-tier star.
However, Lin Tian, who focuses solely on the music industry and couldn’t care about other matters, along with music-centric Gan Yanyu, didn’t know her.
Xu Yong said he knew her, even claiming to have "fired a shot" at her before, though the authenticity of that isn’t clear; it was probably not just one shot.
After an initial acquaintance, Lin Tian only knew that this guy held a not-so-low position in the industry, seemingly an old predecessor who started as a child star.
And after all, he was from the entertainment industry, different from Lin Tian’s artistic circle.
In terms of public influence and fame, he was certainly much stronger than musicians like Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.
This singer’s team had arrived at the venue earlier, and she herself was delayed due to a last-minute matter. This time, He Zhichen took the lead to go with her.
Lin Tian really was indifferent about this fellow singer.
According to He Zhichen privately... this guy has quite an entourage, a sort of arrogance unique to child stars.
But, since it was just traveling together, and once in Tokyo, everyone would have their own things to do, Lin Tian didn’t really care.
"Then... do I bring a swimsuit?"
The topic circled back.
Gan Yanyu asked again.
"Then just bring it."
Lin Tian didn’t want to dampen Gan Yanyu’s enthusiasm, so he said that.
"First, tell me if we’re going to the beach, if we are, then I’ll bring it, if not, then I won’t."
Gan Yanyu was unexpectedly very serious.
"Just bring it, I’m not sure if we’ll go."
Lin Tian then tactfully said.
"Then I won’t bring it."
As Gan Yanyu spoke, the sound of closing a suitcase came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Tian immediately stopped Gan Yanyu.
Lin Tian was silent for a while,
The girl happily hung up the phone.
Lin Tian rubbed his forehead.
I’m completely under her control!
Initially, he hesitated not because he didn’t want to see Mr. Gan in a swimsuit.
It’s just that the two of them, nominally, still shouldn’t cross the line as partners...
Look but can’t touch.
This fool, isn’t she purposefully tempting me to commit a crime!
That’s too cruel for an 18-year-old high school boy with vigorous vitality and an epic dragon...
"Let’s talk about it when the time comes."
Lin Tian decided not to think about it for the moment, and he started packing his luggage.
For Lin Tian, it was his first trip abroad, so there was quite a lot to prepare.
February in Tokyo is still rather cold, need to bring more clothes...
Might need to do some impromptu work, have to bring the computer...
I wonder if fans would want to see it.
Bring the camera, filming an episode wouldn’t be bad.
While packing the camera, Lin Tian realized that because he had never taken the camera out, he still hadn’t bought a spare battery.
Better buy it before going to the airport tomorrow.
Since he needed to buy a battery, Lin Tian left the house first, Mr. Gan still needed to get ready at home.
Girls, understandable, always have to wait before they go out.
After buying things, Lin Tian headed to the airport first.
Qingtian International Airport.
The February in Qingzhou is quite torturous, although single-digit temperatures aren’t as extreme as the north, the cold, damp air blowing in the wind cuts across the face like a knife.
"Hey, look over there..."
"Holy crap, top-notch!"
"So beautiful...and kind of familiar."
"Wow, isn’t that Wei Xiaoxiao? Really looks like her."
At the airport entrance, the crowd surged, with travelers dragging their suitcases back and forth.
However, even in such cold weather, there are still passers-by who stop occasionally, casting their gaze toward an advertisement board not far away.
A girl wrapped in a snow-white coat, wearing jeans, long boots, and sunglasses, stands there with another man.
She’s too dazzling, with a fine face and high nose bridge, not looking like an ordinary person, nearly everyone who passes by can’t help but take another look.
If it weren’t for the man standing next to her, who looks like a bodyguard and has a strong presence, someone would have already tried to strike up a conversation.
The woman lifted her sunglasses slightly, with a slightly annoyed look, and turned towards the man.
"Mr. He, it’s almost nine o’clock, why hasn’t Moonlight and Cat arrived yet?"
"High schoolers, eh, it’s normal for them to be slow packing when they rarely leave home."
He Zhichen breathed onto his palm and replied.
"Ah? High schoolers?!"
Wei Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses, showing a surprised expression.
