My girlfriend is a cellist

Chapter 429: What kind of wild card player is worthy of shaking hands with me?

"Nishikawa-kun?"

Although he was a little surprised to see it in this place, fortunately he had already expected it before coming here, so Lin Tian did not react so big.

"I can't believe I actually see you here!"

Yukaku Nishikawa was wearing a black suit. Although he was born in the 90s, his face was quite delicate in Japanese aesthetics. His bright smile exuded a noble and graceful temperament.

As soon as he came up, Xichuan Youbai reached out and held Lin Tian's hand tightly.
"I've heard about your deeds with Gan Yanyu for a long time. In Japan, you are now the most famous musicians in China! I was looking forward to meeting you today before I came here!"

"Excessive praise."

Lin Tian said modestly.

At this moment, two white men in suits beside Xichuan Yubai came over. Seeing Xichuan Yubai suddenly being so enthusiastic about a young boy, they couldn't help but ask curiously:

"(Teacher Nishikawa, this is)"

"Oh."

Xichuan Youbai did not rush to introduce Lin Tian, but instead introduced two people to Lin Tian first:
"Lin Tianjun, this is the American cellist Hypnos Bryan, the champion of last year's American 'Vant Cup'."

Brian, a burly blond man, raised his head with some pride.

"This is Brazilian cellist Noel Perkins, who has won the national championship for five consecutive years."

The other man, Perkins, who was slightly shorter and appeared to be heavier, smiled modestly.

"Ah."

Lin Tian nodded.

Lin Tian remembered the names of these two people. They both appeared on the list provided by Wan Qi and were both "opponents who needed attention."

However, Lin Tian did not see Isaac, Xichuan Youbai’s partner.

But it looks like these two people, and sound like, are both influential musicians in their respective countries.

No wonder he can play well with Yubai Nishikawa.

It seems like it’s natural for top musicians like these to come together easily.

Coming here today, like Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, most likely means to "inspect the enemy situation."

“Teacher Lin Tian is a pianist friend I have known for a long time. He and his partner, Teacher Gan Yanyu, are also contestants in the Kerr Cup this year.”

Yubai Nishikawa introduced them to the two of them.

"(It turns out that he is Nishikawa-sensei's friend!)"

Hearing this, Brian was overjoyed and quickly reached out and held Lin Tian's hand.

“(Excuse me, sir, where is this pianist from?)”

"From the Celestial Empire."

"."

Hearing about this country, Brian's mouth twitched noticeably.

But he quickly adjusted his expression and continued happily:

"(I know about the competition in China! You and your partner must be the champions of the Longqin Cup! It is really admirable that you can make it through the finals in a country with a population of more than one billion and come to Vienna alone to represent the country.)"

"No."

Lin Tian said with a smile,
“We didn’t play in the finals.”

"."

The moment he heard these words, Brian's expression froze instantly.

He slowly pulled his hand out and pulled out a handkerchief from the chest of his suit.

Then he began to wipe the place where he had just shaken hands with Lin Tian.
"(You dare to shake my hand with the special guest from the f*cking wildcard zone?!)"

Brian let out a desperate roar.

He felt unclean!!

What kind of thing is this? What level of person dares to shake hands with me? !
I thought I would be able to meet Mr. Nishikawa, who must be some little-known master.

I didn't expect it wasn't just the wildcard zone.

Not even the champion of the wild card division!
This person is obviously a relative who came in through the special invitation channel!!

It’s hard to imagine that a guy like this doesn’t even need to play in the qualifying round and can directly participate in the second stage of the competition!
After listening to the conversation, Perkins, who was standing by, also showed a look of fear towards Lin Tian.

His fear did not come from Lin Tian’s identity, but from the fact that Teacher Nishikawa actually knew such a person!
You are really lowering your own value!
"(You are talking too much, Mr. Brian.)"

Yubai Nishikawa looked serious and said to Brian.

"(I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company, Mr. Nishikawa. See you later in the backstage!)"

Brian said this and turned around and left.

When he left, he turned back to look at Lin Tian again, as if he had touched something very unlucky. Soon he showed a desperate expression and quickly quickened his pace.

Perkins on the side also said "goodbye" and turned away.

"."

Looking at this scene, Lin Tian just found it a little funny.

However, Xichuan Yubai showed a very embarrassed and awkward expression at this time:
"I'm sorry, Lin Tianjun. Teacher Brian is like this. A young but famous pianist like him is very arrogant in his bones. Don't look at him like this, he is actually not a bad person, he just doesn't have a high emotional intelligence."

"You don't have to apologize."

Lin Tian smiled and said, "I don't care."

After all, in Lin Tian’s eyes, the two people just now were just children.

In fact, not everyone is like Gan Yanyu, who became famous at a young age but always remained humble and had the heart of an apprentice.

In the aloof music world, hypocrisy and flattery are the norm.

Xichuan Youbai is still too much of a good guy. He kept explaining before Lin Tian said anything.

"After Lin Tianjun and his partner go on stage to compete, Teacher Brian will definitely change his opinion of you!"

Saikawa Yubai said seriously.

"."

Lin Tian smiled without saying anything. He looked at Xichuan Youbai. He didn't know whether Xichuan Youbai really didn't realize it or was pretending not to know.

Are the people that Lin Tian cares about the two cellists just now?

"Where's your partner?"

Lin Tian asked.

"Isaac."

Xichuan Youbai looked at Lin Tian meaningfully and smiled slightly.
"He was not interested in the first stage and other competitors and did not come today."

"Then why are you here?"

Lin Tian asked.

How could the pianist come to watch the competition when the main cellist didn’t even show up?

"I'm here to see you, Lin Tianjun."

"see me?"

"Ah."

Said Nishikawa Yubai:

"After the last Tokyo competition, I have been looking forward to seeing you again! Lin Tianjun!"

"That's it."

Lin Tian didn't expect that he was so important in Xichuan Youbai's eyes.

To know,
At the last Sakikuni International Piano Competition, Yukaku Nishikawa wrote a rhapsody, and he followed suit and wrote a rhapsody. Yukaku Nishikawa wrote a nocturne, and he even took out a "Nocturne".

It can be said that throughout the entire game, he was almost killing Yukaku Nishikawa.

At that time, even the media couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that Yuka Nishikawa had never lost face so much in a competition.

Lin Tian’s fame in Japan was also gained after he defeated Yukaku Nishikawa head-on.

He could understand if Xichuan Yubai hated him.

As a result, not only did he not feel any resentment, but he was actually eager to meet me again?
"Look at the ceiling, Lin Tianjun."

Hearing Xichuan Yubai's voice, Lin Tian raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

Suddenly, the pupils trembled.

Lin Tian then noticed that on the ceiling of the lobby of the Golden Hall, there was a whole wall of relief sculptures of Greek goddesses.

At first glance, it is magnificent and quite shocking.

"These Greek goddess statues, which are mistaken for ordinary reliefs, are actually holding lyre strings made of contemporary nano-alloys."

There was a gleam in Yubai Nishikawa's eyes.

As the sunlight shines through the glass window and onto the Persian carpet, the prism secretly made by Venetian glassmakers in the 17th century breaks down the spectrum into a visual chord diagram.

So beautiful.

Lin Tian sighed.

If it weren't for Yubai Nishikawa's intentional guidance.

Lin Tian, who was just wandering around aimlessly, might not have noticed such a meaningful scene. "Lin Tianjun, can I ask you a question?"

"You said."

"With such talent, why don't you choose to shine in the piano world?"

Nishikawa Yubai's meaning is very clear.

He clearly has a talent for piano and composition that is not inferior to anyone else.

But it is well known that since Lin Tian debuted, he has never planned any honors for himself except for the Sakikuni International Piano Competition.

Compared to Yukaku Nishikawa, who continues to shine in major international piano competitions in Japan and around the world, he has won the title of representative of the younger generation of pianists.

Lin Tian is little known internationally now.

In Yubai Nishikawa's opinion, Lin Tian's talent is completely inconsistent with the fame he has gained.

Even if Lin Tian appeared more frequently on the international stage, it would help their songs spread overseas.

"Yes, but there's no need for that."

Lin Tian answered Xichuan Yubai's question seriously, which was rare.
"I play the piano to reach the peak with my partner. And this peak is the 'Cole Cup'."

Xichuan Yubai was stunned.

"I see."

He didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and said,
"Everyone has their own reasons for playing. Although I cannot understand Lin Tianjun's reasons, I will respect them. I think that partner must have the charm that Lin Tianjun gave his all for."

"of course."

Lin Tian smiled and said,

"She is beautiful."

"I'm different, Lin Tianjun."

Said Nishikawa Yubai:

"From the moment I started playing the piano, the reason I played was to prove myself. I hope everyone will recognize my music, and the only way to make everyone recognize me is to keep winning championships and prove that I am better than anyone else."

"so."

Having said this, Xichuan Youbai looked at Lin Tian,

"I lost to you last time in Tokyo. This time, in this highest temple of music, I must win back."

Yubai Nishikawa's tone was calm, but his eyes were pious and passionate.

However, Lin Tian was a little confused:

"defeat?"

Isn’t Yuka Nishikawa the champion?
Even if Lin Tian really beat him in music creation.

That's a piano competition, not a composition competition.

"I know very well that I lost that game."

"We're competing in piano, right?"

"Undoubtedly, I am the loser."

"You are the champion."

"I lost miserably."

"."

Lin Tian choked.

Why is it that Yubai Nishikawa, who seemed easy to talk to, suddenly became impossible to communicate with when it came to this topic?
This level of stubbornness is comparable to Gan Yanyu's.

"Okay, okay, then you lose."

Lin Tian admitted.

Hearing this, Xichuan Yubai smiled.

"Thank you."

What are you thanking me for?

"So, Teacher Lin Tian."

Said Nishikawa Yubai:

"Here, in this game, I will definitely get my revenge!"

So all this preparation is just to add weight to revenge? !

Lin Tian understood.

It turns out that he kept saying that he lost and lost just now, and he might have been hypnotizing himself to stimulate his desire for revenge.

Nishikawa-kun is so vicious.

“This time, my partner and I will also play music composed by me.”

Said Nishikawa Yubai:

"Lin Tianjun, I also hope you can bring out your best music!"

"There are many people who challenge me, but there are not many who challenge me directly to compose music."

Lin Tian smiled and raised his fist.
"Anytime."

Yubai Nishikawa also raised his fist, the two of them bumped their fists together, and then they smiled at each other.

“Lin Tian——!!”

At this moment, a shout was heard in my ears.

Lin Tian turned his head and saw Gan Yanyu jogging over, waving her little hands.

After coming up to Lin Tian panting, Gan Yanyu noticed Xichuan Youbai next to him.

"he is.?"

"Teacher Yubai Nishikawa." Lin Tian said.

"Oh, that's him."

Gan Yanyu widened her eyes slightly.

However, the one who was more surprised than Gan Yanyu was Xichuan Yubai.

After seeing Gan Yanyu, Xichuan Youbai's eyes could no longer move away.

Elegant long skirt and mature curly hair.

A delicate and small face
"Formal introduction."

Lin Tian introduced,
"This is my partner and also my fiancée, Gan Yanyu."

Gan Yanyu first looked at Lin Tian with a bit of resentment. He used the title of "fiancée" when introducing her in front of others for the first time without discussing it with her in advance.

Then, the girl nodded and smiled gracefully:
"Hello there!"

"Hello, Teacher Gan Yanyu, I have been listening to your works with Lin Tianjun."

Said Yubai Nishikawa.

Then, he looked at Lin Tian again and smiled:

"It is indeed very beautiful, Lin Tianjun."

"right?"

Lin Tian did not shy away from it and said it half-jokingly.

Just tell me, if this little girl sticks her head there, will you play music for her?

"What?"

Gan Yanyu was a little confused.

However, Lin Tian stroked her head:
"You rushed over here just now, what did you want to say?"

"Oh yes!"
