According to what Gan Yanyu had said before, and based on Lin Tian's own guess, it could be known:
Although Sir Gan's car accident happened just this week, depression is something Gan Yanyu had already suffered from back when she was in the UK.
The main reasons stem from the pressures of living alone in a foreign country, the conflict between her asthma and her dream of becoming a cellist, and the disadvantage she faced in competitions due to classical music…
Various factors had caused Gan Yanyu's health to start deteriorating from then on.
Simply put, it was somatization of depression.
Loss of appetite, malnutrition, general fatigue, significant weight loss, and decreased immunity, among other things.
This somatization is terrifying, as it gradually transitions from a psychological illness to physical manifestations.
After returning to China, her grandpa's car accident and her parents' return completely detonated all of it.
The disease worsened, and with it came even more severe somatization.
The problem is evident from the young girl's weight at merely 80 jin (40 kg).
Gan Yanyu's mental state has largely returned to normal now, but to recover her physical health, efforts must still be made.
"Exercise...?" Gan Yanyu was somewhat stunned.
"Yes!"
Lin Tian said, "Looking at your condition, if this continues, you won't be able to resume school by the time I take the Gaokao!"
"Gaokao?"
"Yes, what, do you want me to take the Gaokao alone and you to retake a year?"
Lin Tian spoke earnestly, "We're partners, after all, we should definitely take the Gaokao together!"
When he said this,
Gan Yanyu's pupils suddenly dilated.
Her face, gently flushed.
So, Lin Tian had already thought that far ahead...
For the first time, Gan Yanyu deeply felt the weight of the word "partner" from Lin Tian.
But,
though they are partners, Lin Tian had been the one making efforts, taking action, and even securing the most important recording equipment with just a phone call.
While she, plagued with injuries, has now become the most burdensome one...
"Then... do we aim for the same university?" Gan Yanyu murmured softly.
Lin Tian hadn't expected the girl to plunge into deep thought about this subject.
However, he quickly had an answer in his heart.
"Of course, isn't that a given?"
Lin Tian walked forward, raised both hands, and placed them on the girl's shoulders,
"Not only do we aim for the same place, if possible, we'll also attend the same university!"
"Think about it, you promised to make videos with me, if we're not in the same place after we became popular, how troublesome would it be to record, shoot videos, meet fans, and such?"
"And you, well, you have a history! If I'm not by your side, you might decide to jump off a building one day, how would I continue to create then? I need to keep you close to feel at ease!"
Lin Tian's words were spoken with righteous fervor and full conviction.
Even the gloom that had lingered in Gan Yanyu's heart swiftly dissipated, her delicate face almost bursting into laughter.
"Then you can find someone else to play the cello," Gan Yanyu held back a small burst of joy and whispered gently.
"That won't do, I'm particularly fond of your cello, nobody else would do."
"Alright."
"So."
Lin Tian pressed on the girl's shoulders again, "Starting today, take better care of your body, OK?"
"I would do that even without you telling me."
Gan Yanyu took Lin Tian's hands off her shoulders, somewhat stubborn, yet with a touch of tender softness in her voice.
"Good."
Lin Tian smiled, "Then from tomorrow on, you'll follow my plan, and I'll exercise with you. We'll aim to recover in a month, so you can meet the standards to return to school."
In fact, Lin Tian's words about the "Gaokao" reflected his true inner thoughts.
The Gaokao was only a few months away, and time flies.
Lin Tian's school performance currently ranked high.
For Gan Yanyu, aiming for the same university as Lin Tian would be somewhat challenging.
But,
in the attributes column for Gan Yanyu,
even her cello was at an [A+ grade].
Yet her learning ability had reached a terrifying [S grade].
From Gan Yanyu's top-notch cello skills, it was obvious how strong her learning capability was.
Lin Tian could fully believe it.
Yanyu, if she can adjust her state and return to school sooner,
she will definitely be able to catch up with her academic performance!
"No way," Gan Yanyu said.
"What do you mean, no way?"
"One month is too long; let's make it half a month."
"Are you sure?"
"When I was in junior high, I often exercised with grandpa. When it comes to making plans, I'm probably better than you," Gan Yanyu said earnestly.
"That's fine too, but what should I be responsible for?"
When it came to this question, Gan Yanyu actually became silent.
When Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu with confusion, the girl showed a rare hint of shyness,
"Can I regularly ask you to cook for me?"
Gan Yanyu played with the tip of her hair, twirling it around her finger,
"The food you cook is delicious."
....
Before the recording equipment arrived, during the remainder of the weekend, the two began their rehabilitation plan.
Yanyu now lives alone in Sir Gan's former house. In the morning, Lin Tian's door would be knocked on time by Yanyu.
Upon opening the door, he'd see Yanyu with her hair tied back in a neat ponytail, wearing a school uniform, holding breakfast she bought, and urging him to go for a morning run.
For Lin Tian, this feeling was incredibly refreshing.
It was becoming more and more like a newlywed couple.
After the morning run, Lin Tian would prepare lunch and call Yanyu over to eat.
To ensure Yanyu's smooth recovery, Lin Tian specifically learned nutrition on Douyin, researching ingredients and dishes scientifically.
The vegetables included tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and for meat dishes, he used chicken breast, shrimp, various offals; he also made a pot of goji berry soup and coarse grain porridge.
It's the ultimate nourishment!
Nutrition to the point of dripping oil!
After dinner, they would rest for a while, and then start the second phase of workout.
First, they'd run one kilometer at night, then use the community gym equipment for advanced training.
Yanyu's determination was beyond Lin Tian's expectations, so much so that even Lin Tian, a man, was almost unable to handle it, and Yanyu still insisted on training.
The consequences of not exercising regularly and then bursting into intense workouts were foreseeable...
"Ouch....."
The next day.
Yanyu lay motionless on the sofa at Lin Tian's house.
"It hurts so much..."
The girl let out a pitiful moan.
The invincible Yanyu didn't burst into flames from her head, but she had finally gone down.
Lin Tian walked over, looking at Yanyu who had completely turned into a 'corpse,' feeling helpless.
"Where does it hurt?"
"Legs, back, arms, butt..."
"Isn't that everywhere?"
"Legs hurt the most..."
"Well, is this part of your plan? Are we still training today?"
Lin Tian's voice was laced with mockery.
Yanyu extended her hand and silently grabbed a pillow from the side, covering her head.
As if she had found a hole to burrow into.
"Sorry...."
In fact, Lin Tian did have some insights about exercising.
Any man who has lived alone for a long time would more or less try to work out, or at the very least, get to know something about fitness.
Among these, there's one very important point.
After exercising, it's best to manually relax the muscles worked... otherwise, the soreness the next day is absolutely intense.
However, it's not that he couldn't help Yanyu relax.
Suddenly, Lin Tian remembered he had a master-level massage technique he hadn't used yet.
"Miss Yanyu."
"What is it....."
"Take off your pants."
