Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 58 - 57: Aim to Test for the Best!

Looking at the girl in front of him, who leaned forward slightly and looked up, her brown eyes staring intently at him.

Lin Tian was stunned.

...Music Academy?

In fact, Lin Tian had also thought about it. After all, the career path he was currently pursuing was music.

But on one hand, Lin Tian didn’t have the same obsession with music as Gan Yanyu; even if he didn’t attend a Music Academy, it wouldn’t hinder him from composing and making money.

On the other hand, if getting into a Music Academy was what Lin Tian truly desired, it wasn’t certain he could just get in.

Then Lin Tian would go to his homeroom teacher tomorrow and say he wanted to switch to being a music student.

Clearly, reality is cruel...

There are only a few months left before the college entrance examination.

And from the art examination...

less than two months remain.

The art exam’s completion is merely the beginning; after that, there are still the school-specific exams for each university.

Switching to music now wouldn’t be much different from joining RNG at 24 years old.

Art exams are not that simple.

Even if Lin Tian had Skill Cards to help, there’d be no issue with his basic skills in instrument performance and music theory knowledge.

But there’s a difference between "being able to do" and "taking an exam".

When it comes to exams, you need to thoroughly understand the answers that the test papers favor.

Music theory knowledge in your head might not be the answers found in textbooks.

Instrument performance preferences vary by university; some schools favor traditional classical music, and others prefer to test less conventional but more innovative pieces...

Can you be sure you will do well in an exam with subjective teacher involvement?

Moreover, the exam subjects are not limited to instrument performance and music theory knowledge.

The school-specific exams of the various Music Academies also involve musicology writing, musicology examinations, and smaller sub-tests, among others.

All these would be enough to give Lin Tian a tough time.

Most music students who take the art examination path start preparing from their freshman year.

It’s almost impossible to find someone who only begins preparing in their senior year.

As Lin Tian, whose grades are not bad and who has a strong chance of aiming for a 985 university...

Why bother suffering through the ordeal of applying for a Music Academy?

If he fails after spending time on it, it would severely impact his regular academic performance.

He just needs to keep a regular routine, maintain his status, occasionally slack off, and he could easily fill in his application with a not so competitive major, and a few months later become an envied student of Bar Dance University, living a superior life on the internet, playing with the joke of "our 985 degrees are not that different from vocational degrees"...

Isn’t that satisfying?

...

In theory, this is correct.

"Mr. Gan, actually, before coming out with you today, I was still thinking about what kind of university I should choose—or rather, whether going to university is really necessary..."

"Ah, are you not going to university?"

Gan Yanyu looked somewhat astonished.

"No, how could I possibly not go to university?"

Lin Tian was amused by Gan Yanyu’s words,

"It’s just that, I indeed hadn’t considered what kind of university to apply for, what major to pursue, what kind of university life to lead... For me, it seems that the only significance of going to university is the diploma."

"Lin Tian..." Gan Yanyu murmured.

Although she hadn’t experienced Lin Tian’s thoughts, she could understand them.

Standing at the senior year juncture, every student begins to ponder their future to a certain degree.

People like Lin Tian, who are not only musically talented but also academically excellent...

There’s a saying.

Less intelligent authors might produce better works because they’re pure, lacking other talents, and not distracted.

Perhaps heaven gifted Lin Tian with too many talents, giving him more choices, and therefore making him sink deeper into such contemplation.

Asking Lin Tian of her own accord to apply to the Music Academy with her...

That itself was somewhat overbearing.

Seeing Lin Tian caught in a dilemma, Gan Yanyu realized she had spoken somewhat rashly just now.

Yes, it was her selfish desire...

But, just as Lin Tian said, he hadn’t found the meaning of attending university yet, so wouldn’t the Music Academy be an even greater burden for him...

She spoke softly:

"Lin Tian, if it’s not feasible, it’s also okay..."

"I’ll take the exam with you."

Lin Tian said.

"Eh?"

Gan Yanyu’s eyes widened, doubting her own ears,

"Aren’t you the one who said..."

"Yeah, I do think college is pretty meaningless."

Lin Tian turned his head, staring at Gan Yanyu, and said blankly,

"But the scene you just described to me, I really like it!"

"....."

For such a future.

Lin Tian is willing to take the Music Academy entrance exam.

Rather than easily becoming somebody at Bar Dance University but finding no meaning in doing so...

He prefers the campus life in Gan Yanyu’s story.

What major to study, what kind of diploma to get, even whether it’s a Music Academy, doesn’t matter.

To Lin Tian.

Even if it’s just for the kind of life in the girl’s story, which seems elusive.

It’s worth a try.

Of course, these are all literary ways to put it.

In layman’s terms, it means—

It’s fun, I love having fun!

"..."

"But I have one condition."

Lin Tian suddenly got serious and spoke solemnly.

"What condition?"

The girl recoiled a bit.

"Didn’t you just say, ’I’ll be satisfied if I get into Xingye Music Academy,’ right? I heard you!"

"Ah... Yes."

"But you clearly said before that your dream is to be at ’Zhonghua Music College’!"

Lin Tian pointed at Gan Yanyu seriously, looking at the girl who was bowing her head, with her frail demeanor, then, as if he thought of something, he slightly smiled and abruptly changed his tone, deliberately using a very conceited tone,

"You know my grades, if I take the exam, I have to aim for the best. Xingye Music Academy—What kind of lousy school? Only ranked fifth in the national Music Academy rankings, how could it be worthy of my status?"

"If I’m going to take an exam, it has to be Zhonghua Music College or Shanghai Music University, only these two!"

"If your goal is just a school like Xingye... then I’m sorry, I won’t join you in taking the exam!"

"..."

Although these words sounded rather excessive.

But like telepathy.

Seeing the seriousness on Lin Tian’s face, Gan Yanyu’s lips curled up even more.

The girl, whose face was originally lacking self-confidence, now overflowed with an uncontrollable smile.

"Alright."

Gan Yanyu nodded her head, then pursed her lips, which were flush with color,

"Then—what if we don’t get in?"

"We retake the year!" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"My artistic skill is very strong, but for the academic subjects... even if I pass the Zhonghua Music College’s school exam, if my national exam scores aren’t high enough, I still won’t get in." Gan Yanyu said somewhat dejectedly.

"Easy."

Lin Tian raised his index finger, speaking seriously, "You tutor me in arts, and I tutor you in academics!"

"Your music skill is invincible, my academic scores are invincible, together we are an unbeatable team, and Zhonghua Music College will be within our grasp!"

"So, Yanyu, you must also gain confidence, with your talent, a chicken school like Xingye should not be your target...."

Lin Tian was still speaking seriously,

When Gan Yanyu suddenly jumped up, grabbed Lin Tian’s arm with one hand, and covered his mouth with the other.

Her pretty face had her eyes wide open.

"..."

Lin Tian was still puzzled when he suddenly saw a group of students who had just left the classroom next door, holding their books, looking at the two of them in bewilderment.
