My girlfriend is a cellist

Nishikawa Yubai?

Hearing this name, Lin Tian, ​​Gan Yanyu and He Zhichen were all stunned at the same time.

Wan Qi didn't notice the expressions of the three people and continued to speak.
"Yukaku Nishikawa, born in the 90s, is considered one of the best pianists of the younger generation in Japan and has appeared in many large international piano competitions."

“He is not only an outstanding contemporary pianist, but also an excellent composer. He often plays his own compositions in competitions, and thus has a superb understanding and interpretation of music, which is a talent that other performers do not possess.”

The more Wan Qi spoke, the deeper his frown deepened.

"It is unlikely that such an outstanding pianist like him would be associated with a cellist like Isaac. But it is said that Yukaku Nishikawa and Isaac met in college. They both studied at Tokyo University of the Arts, and they formed a deep friendship. Since last year, the two have frequently collaborated."

“It can be said that the three trophies Kasak won were largely due to the accompanist Yukaku Nishikawa! He made an indelible contribution to the two’s musical understanding in the ensemble!”

Wan Qi looked at Lin Tian with a worried look.
“This is a very tough opponent!”

"."

Lin Tian covered his forehead, feeling a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Yes, it is indeed a very tough opponent.

Lin Tian knew this buddy very well. They had formed an indissoluble bond as early as when they were in Japan.

They were not originally on the same track. One was pursuing the championship, while the other was seeking more exposure and being nominated for a few special awards would be considered a win.

However, because they scored twice with the same song theme, these two contestants who would not have been compared were exposed to the spotlight for a time, which was really embarrassing.

Sincerely speaking.

Yubai Nishikawa is a nice guy.

Lin Tian still feels embarrassed towards others.

never expected,
Now, on this highest stage of cello, I can meet this brother again.

Moreover, it is from almost exactly the same position.

it's fate.

"Yukaku Nishikawa also won the Sakikuni International Piano Competition held in Tokyo last year. Since winning that championship, he has firmly established his position among the pianists born in the 90s."

When Wan Qi said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Lin Tian.

His brows were slightly furrowed.
"I remember the piano competition you participated in last year."

“Same class.”

He Zhichen on the side added,

"I am from the same class as Yubai Nishikawa."

"Ooh!"

The old man finally reacted.

Regarding the World Piano Competition that Lin Tian participated in last year, he paid attention to it for a while, but he didn't take it seriously afterwards.

Just now when I was talking about this, I suddenly remembered,
"So you two have fought each other?"

"Mr. Wan, Sakibon International is an exhibition match." He Zhichen reminded.
"This is the first time that Teacher Lin Tian has participated in an international piano competition. He is not in competition with Yuka Nishikawa."

"Oh yes! Yes!"

Wan Qi slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory."

At this time, Lin Tian and He Zhichen were both silent.

Because from the conversation just now until now, it's very obvious.

Mr. Wan may not have paid much attention to any competitions outside in the past year or so.

Even when it was the match between Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, this guy didn't seem to take it very seriously, otherwise he wouldn't even know what the situation was with the Longqin Cup.

Lin Tian didn’t have any objection, after all, the old man was no longer the chairman of the Music Association.

Just simply feel
It’s the retirement life of an old artist, it’s so cool!
If Lin Tian retired and lived in a big European city, he would probably be oblivious to the world outside and spend his days at home playing with flowers and birds. The flowers would be Gan Yanyu's flowers, and the birds would be Lin Tian's birds.

"That's great!"

Wan Qi slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.
"Your fight on Sakiguni wasn't even decided, was it? This time, you can have a fair fight with the piano."

Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned.

Gan Yanyu on the side suddenly became happy:
"Yes, Lin Tian, ​​this is a great opportunity."

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, and the girl continued:
"If I must say, in your last duel, I think you won over Mr. Nishikawa in composition but lost to him in performance, so it should be considered a draw!"

"This time, we can work together to defeat him in all aspects!"

Seeing Gan Yanyu showing such a rare motivated look, Lin Tian also thought about it seriously.

indeed.

It is impossible to say that Lin Tian himself has no desire to reach the peak of piano playing.

After all, the piano has been with him for such a long time, and Lin Tian still has feelings for it.

While he continued to rise in the field of composition, he bravely reached the peak of cello with Gan Yanyu.

Poor piano, Lin Tian didn't bring any honor to it.

Apart from that trip to Japan, Lin Tian initially went there to increase his own popularity and album sales.

In fact, Lin Tian had also thought about this problem.

However, because most of the time he only needed to focus on playing the role of an accompaniment, he had always put this matter aside.

Now, Yubai Nishikawa is obviously a good opportunity.

It is equivalent to providing a piano peak that Lin Tian can climb.

If he can really defeat Yubai Nishikawa head-on with the piano, Lin Tian will have given a very good explanation for his career as a pianist.

"."

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu, and what concerned him more was Gan Yanyu's attitude.

"What's the matter?" Gan Yanyu shrank his head when he was looked at.

"What's wrong, Mr. Gan, do you really want to see me defeat Xichuan Yubai?"

Lin Tian suddenly asked with a wicked smile,

"Are you worried that I, as your accompanist, am not skilled enough and will hinder you at the critical moment?"

"How can it be!"

This joke was not funny at all. Gan Yanyu, who was always gentle, couldn't help but raise her fist and pretend to hit Lin Tian's shoulder.

Immediately, Gan Yanyu whispered:

"I just hope that in the end, in this Kerr Cup, Lin Tian, ​​you can enjoy the feeling of victory more."

This is also what Gan Yanyu is worried about.

The Cole Cup is the ultimate goal for both of them, but after all, this is a cello competition.

Although Gan Yanyu understood that in this process, the two of them supported each other and worked hard to get here.

In the end, the glory of victory will mostly go to Gan Yanyu.

The title of world cellist will belong only to Gan Yanyu.

Whether it is the emotion of "joy" or "honor", Gan Yanyu will get more.

Gan Yanyu felt that this was not fair to Lin Tian.

"Idiot, who cares about that?"

Lin Tian stretched out his hand and hooked Gan Yanyu's nose.

Stern way,
"I'm definitely happier than you if I win the championship - because this way we can immediately fulfill our promise to get married! This is the most important thing!"

As soon as these words came out, Gan Yanyu's expression changed instantly.

The girl pursed her lips and said:
"Who said that? I'm obviously happier!"

"Ha! What you said just now clearly shows that you didn't put the joy of marriage first, and you tried to give me weight from other places?"

"That's not the case! Of course, getting married is the happiest thing."

Gan Yanyu is not good at speaking and cannot win the argument with Lin Tian.

The sixty-year-old man standing by was stunned:

"What marriage?"

These two kids who haven’t even stepped out of school yet are about to get married?
Isn’t it 2026?
If you don’t know, you might think you have returned to your own “feudal” era. Getting married at 19 seems more like the age they got married back then.

If we consider the school-going kids who have not yet entered society, this age is considered early even in that era.

"That's it."

He Zhichen explained to Wanqi in the simplest possible sentence,

"Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu have an agreement that if they win the Kerr Cup, they will get married."

"There is such a thing!"

Wan Qi immediately smiled and exclaimed in admiration.

"That's great, that's great. So if you win the championship, can you get married after the New Year?"

If it were an ordinary person, Wan Qi might not have such a big reaction.

But if Wan Qi could see with his own eyes a talented young man like Lin Tian marrying an excellent cellist like Gan Yanyu, he felt that this could be called a major event in the music world!
"If you get married, don't forget me, an old man."

Wan Qi was talking.

He Zhichen, who had just been explaining to Wan Qi, buried his head and started crying.

Especially after hearing the words "we can get married after the new year", He Zhichen seemed to remember something very sad. He was heartbroken and beat his chest:
"How could I lose the bet? How could I lose the bet?!"

Wan Qi was confused and didn't understand why He Zhichen thought of gambling at this time.

But he looks so sad, he must have lost a lot of money, right?

At this time, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu next to him turned around at the same time and faced Wan Qi.

Then, they stood up together.

"Mr. Wan, thank you for today." Lin Tian said.

"Thank you for your advice and information." Gan Yanyu also said.

The two men bowed together, which frightened the sixty-year-old man.

"Okay, okay, I'm an old retired man now, and I can't give you more help, but there's really a limit to how much I can do!"

Wan Qi waved his hand.

"At best, I can only give you some useless information."

"No, Mr. Wan, your information is very useful."

Lin Tian said seriously.

He looked at Gan Yanyu standing aside.

He knew very well how nervous and uneasy Gan Yanyu was when she first arrived in Vienna. But after this chat, at least he felt more at ease.

Next, he just needs to take Gan Yanyu to the qualifying round to find out the truth and adjust Gan Yanyu's mentality - in fact, it is to find confidence from Cai Bi.

Basically, it’s stable!

"As long as you think it helps."

Wan Qi leaned back in the chair, smiled kindly, and said nothing more.
"Okay, I'm going to rest."

The old man yawned lazily.
"The rest of the journey to Vienna is up to you." (End of this chapter)
