My girlfriend is a cellist

"Deng deng deng-"

The two students ran in the corridor of the teaching building, all the way from the fourth floor to the first floor.

Under the organization and isolation of the student union cadres on site, a large number of students gathered outside the teaching building at this time. They all gathered at the door of the teaching building because they learned about today's performance. However, because of the need to control the flow of people entering the teaching building, they were isolated outside and could not attend the scene in person.

At this moment, the room was crowded with people, talking nervously and discussing the outcome of the ensemble.

The two students rushed out of the main entrance of the teaching building in front of everyone, panting and holding their knees.

Then, he raised his head and shouted:
"Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu won!!"

moment,

The atmosphere at the scene was very excited and everyone cheered.

As the excitement spread, many people gradually realized a contrary fact:

——Dean Tuoba and Mr. Gan were defeated!

This news quickly spread everywhere as the on-site results came out, amid the excitement and shock of the students.

Regardless of whether they were present at the scene or not, everyone learned about this incident at the first opportunity.

At the Tianchao University of Music, which gathers future musical talents from all over the country, this news is like a nuclear bomb, waking up every student, regardless of whether they are interested in this ensemble or not.

"Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu. Is it true that they really won the ensemble?"

"Dean Tuoba is a monster, a monster! Lin Tian actually defeated that monster!!"

"It's so scary, it's totally unimaginable."

"After all, it's time to retire. Dean Tuoba is no longer able to do it."

"I thought it would be more intense, but it seems like a complete crushing defeat!"

"Teacher Gan Yanyu is indeed a student who has surpassed his teacher!"

To the students, this was simply an incredible thing.

The two 19-year-old young men defeated two highly respected seniors in the music industry, one of whom is the god of conducting in the hearts of countless music students.

Even though Moonlight and Cat had proven their abilities in many competitions before, it was still difficult for some music students to accept this.

After all, music is not a sport. The younger you are, the more competitive you are not. In many cases, what matters more is the understanding and foundation of music.

But now, this is what happened!

This competition between Moonlight and Cat was not broadcast live on the entire network, nor was it spread outside the circle.

It was just an ordinary, small ensemble, with no publicity, no hype, in an inconspicuous classroom, so it only caused a topic of conversation within the music school.

But only music students know what this seemingly ordinary performance means.

As soon as the incident came out, there were comments all over the campus forums and Weibo.

[It must be because Gan retired 16 years ago and his hands are not so good anymore! Otherwise, how could he fail? ]

[I think it should be a slack! After all, Moonlight and Cat are about to go out, so building confidence is important! ]

[Is Dean Tuoba's personality likely to let him off the hook? Are you kidding me? ]

[If even Dean Tuoba loses, what else can we believe in? ]

Seeing this question, many students were silent for a moment.

Because they knew that the person who asked this question was a student in Tuoba Jianhui's command class.

Many people know that in the conducting class led by Tuoba Jianhui, all the knowledge taught to students was classical music.

This is probably the most internally-strained class in the entire academy.

Students with weak wills wonder every day whether everything they are learning is meaningful. Is there really a future for their classical music?

These problems torment students day after day and year after year.

Once upon a time, they repeated this over and over again, constantly comforting themselves in their hearts.

Believe in Teacher Tuoba!

——Teacher Tuoba will definitely lead them to a bright future.

Most of them joined here out of their great admiration for Dean Tuoba's orchestra.

Especially the one that was once known as the world's number one classical music orchestra.

That generation was the introduction to classical music for many students.

So, even though Mr. Tuoba has never led a classical music orchestra again, and even though the music he conducts on stage now is all pop music.

But the students knew that Teacher Tuoba just put all the pressure on them.

Believe in Mr. Tuoba, he will definitely lead me out of the haze
Once upon a time, everyone relied on this belief to get by.

However, starting from a month ago.

Tuoba Jianhui began to be banned by the association, many of his classes were suspended, and more and more people attacked him online.

Until a while ago, he even temporarily cancelled classes for the students in the conducting class that he had been working so hard to maintain.

The students felt confused.

Now, the moment I learned that Tuoba Jianhui had been defeated.

More people are already in a trance.

Can they really still trust Dean Tuoba?
Without Tuoba Jianhui, who should they trust? Who will lead them to continue to uphold the classical music in their hearts?
[Isn’t the answer obvious? ]

A young teacher answered them below.

He just gave the answer that everyone was unsure of because of anxiety and hesitation.

[Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu!
They are the new generation of classical musicians who will succeed President Tuoba and Mr. Gan!

What they are bearing is the weight of the mission that Tuoba Orchestra failed to complete back then!
They will provide a new beacon of light for all the performers who still love and want to continue to perform classical music!!

Even though they are only 19 years old, from the moment they defeated Tuoba Jianhui, they have inevitably been forced to bear the weight of this classical music! 】

【.】

[It was Dean Tuoba who risked his career to get Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu into the finals. As a result, he was banned by the association and targeted and slandered by people with bad intentions. The reason for suspending classes is that during this month, Dean Tuoba has devoted all his energy to these two people!
This result is what they have always desired.

Dean Tuoba, Elder Gan, they can take a rest now.]

The following days.

The fast-forward button on Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu's clocks was pressed.

Having defeated Tuoba Jianhui and Gan Hua in the ensemble, they no longer had any worries.

From the end of the Longqin Cup to the official start of the Cole Cup.

Although they had said they were together, they never had the chance to experience the life of a real couple because of the heavy and tedious training and the lack of mood under high pressure. But now, after defeating Grandpa Gan and Tuoba Laodeng, they finally had time in the last half month.

I can live a good life now.

On Christmas, no matter how Lin Tian coaxed and persuaded, Gan Yanyu was unwilling to put on her Christmas skirt and play the role of Santa Claus and Christmas gifts with him. Lin Tian had to secretly make a note in his heart, "Paly plan that must be experienced after marriage" +1.

However, Xiao Gan still changed into a cute little dress and went out with Lin Tian. She was dressed like a princess and held Lin Tian's hand tightly. The two of them took a photo under the Christmas tree in the square.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu also spent New Year's Eve outside. In the bustling pedestrian street, they were just like countless ordinary couples. In the lively atmosphere, they held hands and counted down "3, 2, 1" one after another.

Finally, the blessings of "Happy New Year" resounded through the night sky of the pedestrian street.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu closed their eyes at the same time and prayed in their hearts.

"I must marry Lin Tian!"

"I must marry Gan Yanyu!"

——They both made New Year wishes in their hearts at the same time.

2026 is here.

When they opened their eyes again, they looked at each other and subconsciously avoided each other.

"What wish did you make?" Gan Yanyu asked curiously, tilting his head and exhaling a puff of cold air.

"What else could it be?"

Lin Tian smiled and said,

"Of course, winning the Cole Cup!"

"What a coincidence."

Gan Yanyu smiled sweetly,

"Me too."

For the two of them, this period of time was like the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.

Without homework and academic pressure, they can do whatever they like leisurely, with dreams for the future, and they are all still young.

No matter how long it has passed, these days will always leave a strong mark in their youth.

As for Tuoba Jianhui and Mr. Gan
Lin Tian was too lazy to complain.

Ever since that ensemble ended, the two of them seemed to have completely started to play along.

Tuoba Jianhui, once known as the number one model conductor, is said to be the only active number one conductor with this qualification who is active in the front lines of music and education.

As a result, since losing to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, they now grow some flowers and plants at home, and in the evening they take Grandpa Gan and some former band friends out for a drink. The old guys look happy every day.

Uncle Gan is now seriously considering investing in a pub in Baijing. He will no longer make hand-brewed coffee and is now preparing to become a bartender.

With Mr. Gan's eloquence and the frequency of his Internet surfing that keeps up with the trends of young people, you might as well say that he could become a popular bartender at the age of 60.

The two old men felt comfortable. Even after losing the ensemble, they became even more relaxed. It was as if they just waved their hands at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu and completely let go of them.

They could just ignore it, but Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu couldn't.

They have taken over the "burden of music" from Tuoba Jianhui and Gan Hua.

After a short rest of half a month.

The plane to Vienna took off.

"The Kerr Cup is an invitation-only competition. You should all know this. At this time of year, cellists from all over the world gather in Vienna."

on the plane,
In the first class cabin, He Zhichen turned around and began to explain the rules of the competition to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Because it is the first time for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu to go abroad to participate in such an important international competition, the explanation of the rules needs to be more detailed.

"Because this is an invitation-only competition, the contestants are a mixed bunch, coming from different countries and cultures. It's possible that you might meet any kind of person. If you encounter an occasion that requires socializing, you must be careful."

"Isn't it said that all the participants in the Cole Cup are champion pianists from various countries?" Lin Tian asked.

He Zhichen's words made people feel nervous.

Since he is a champion pianist, at least his overall quality should not be too bad, right?

"Not entirely. There are about 400 contestants in this competition. Many of them were invited through various channels, such as sponsors. Some international music academies also have quotas. And European countries generally have more quotas than China."

Lin Tian understood what was said.

It turns out that the rule that "only the champion can be invited to participate" only works for weak countries like China.

After all, China is not very good at these international music competitions, and it is understandable that the number of invitations is adjusted according to the strength of musicians from various countries.

This was also the case with professional League of Legends competitions in previous lives.

For example, regarding the number of places for the global finals, China and South Korea, which have always been known as LOL e-sports powerhouses, usually have 4 places.

Europe and even North America, where the game League of Legends was developed, only have three spots.

Some small countries and regions, such as Japan and Vietnam, only have one spot, which is basically called the "wild card zone."

In the World Championship, being defeated by a strong country is nothing, but being defeated by a team from the wildcard zone would be a shame.

For example, losing to Vietnam.

Not only will they suffer the pain of failure, but they will also be affectionately dubbed "Vietnamese prisoners" by domestic audiences.

Being talked about all your life.

Moreover, the number of participants is not always fixed.

For example, a provincial competition area in China won the championship once in the S2 season in ancient times, and since then it has basically had three places in the competition.

Because the team was so weak, for several years in a row, it had a hard time even making it to the top 16, let alone winning the championship. Riot couldn't stand it anymore and eventually disbanded this once "Glory Division" and merged it with other regions into a wildcard division.

For the players in this region, this is an incredible shame.

However, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu actually have no right to complain about this matter.

Because they didn't get in by winning the championship.

“It is worth mentioning that, starting from the last two sessions, a new rule has been added to the Kerr Cup.”

He Zhichen said,
"The winner needs to play a piece of music freely when giving his acceptance speech."

"Often at this time, everyone will play some songs related to their own country to enhance national confidence and promote national prestige in the Golden Hall, which can be regarded as promoting the music of their own country."

"that."

Hearing this, Gan Yanyu, who had been listening attentively and not saying anything, suddenly raised her hand.
“Do we have to play something related to patriotism?”

"Although the rules don't spell it out, it's basically like this."

He Zhichen said,
"After all, we've won the championship, so we have to be more ambitious!" (End of this chapter)
