My girlfriend is a cellist

"(Lin.Lin Tian?)"

Connor immediately took the list and looked at the name in the piano accompaniment column.

【LinTian】

"(It is indeed the same name.)"

Connor murmured in disbelief, but Perez beside him said excitedly at this time,

"(Could it be the same person??)"

now,

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu have already stepped onto the stage of the Golden Hall, and the spotlight is focused on them.

Looking at the young man on the stage, the two cellists were a little unsure.

The same young age, the same Chinese pianist
Could he be the man who was rumored to have defeated Yubai Nishikawa?
Although his emotions were boiling, Connor forced himself to calm down.

"(Don't rush to conclusions.)"

"(After all, as far as I know, in the Celestial Empire, 'Lin Tian' is not a very rare name, and it is not impossible to have the same name.)"

"(Besides, the pianist in the rumor is very low-key and usually does not appear in international competitions. Besides, how could he possibly accompany a relative of his?!)"

Although Connor felt that what he said was a bit forced, it did make sense.

Mr. Yubai Nishikawa is willing to be someone else's exclusive accompanist, but that is based on the fact that he and Mr. Isaac are close friends.

And the most important point is that Isaac's strength is enough to match the talent of Mr. Yubai Nishikawa.

So, what abilities does this "Gan Yanyu" in front of us have?

How could someone who hasn't even won a national championship let a composer like "Lin Tian" accompany her?
so.
Connor and Perez agreed before hearing the two people playing the piano.

Not urgent!
After reading it, make your confirmation.

However, the other cellists in the lounge were looking at the big screen with a more gloating attitude.

"(One has 98 points, the other has 97 points. The first place winners of Groups A and B have come out. If I were to play at this time, I would definitely not be able to handle it.)"

“(Haha, didn’t Zorn reveal before that she is related to the Chinese? A player like this can be directly promoted to the second stage, so she should pay the price!)
“(At such a young age, I hope I don’t pee my pants on stage!)”

Just when the group was betting with great relish on whether the two people's performance could catch up with the level of a city-level cello competition in Europe, Brian came back.

Seeing Brian coming back, the cellists in the lounge all looked at him, some nervously, some tentatively.

Until Brian raised his head with a serious face and saw Lin Tianshi on the big screen.

The frown suddenly relaxed.
He slapped his thigh, pointed at the screen and laughed:
"(Ha! I want to see how you die!!)"

For a moment, happy laughter could be heard all around.

"."

Connor in the distance was also ashamed:
This guy is really good at playing the piano, but his character is really bad!

Lin Tian stood on the stage.

Under your feet, you can feel the delicate and soft touch of the Persian carpet.

The stage lights did not pour down from top to bottom, but grew out from the inside of the gilded columns - the grape vine reliefs wrapped around the columns were secreting liquid light, forming golden puddles in the folds of the bronze statue of a musician whom Lin Tian did not recognize.

Lin Tian glanced at the audience and let out a sigh of relief.

Comfortable——

Is this what it feels like to be on top of music?

Feeling good.

More than a year of hard work and sweat are all for today, to be able to stand on this stage with Gan Yanyu.

As long as they win everything here, he and Gan Yanyu will have no regrets.

So--

Perhaps the second to last song of my competition career. Let’s begin!
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu returned to their respective positions.

As they started soundchecking and were about to get ready.

suddenly,

Located in the back row of the Golden Hall auditorium.

A group of audience members wearing suits and carrying cellos stood up from their seats.

They were calm and serious, staring at the stage.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding audience and judges.

Although the rules of major competitions have clear restrictions on spectators, prohibiting them from doing anything that may affect the contestants, there is no rule that prohibits them from standing up before a contestant starts playing.

So, all of a sudden, everyone around was staring at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing this strange scene in the golden hall, the director immediately shifted the camera to their faces.

Backstage, the cellists who saw this scene quickly recognized it.

The dozens of contestants who stood up were all pianists who were eliminated in the first stage.

They come from different countries and have different skin colors.

This was also when the game just started, and Connor was curious about why there were so many players in the audience today.

"(What the hell is going on?)"

“(Huh? Is this some kind of demonstration?)”

“(Why are you targeting these two people?)”

Among them are several pianists who had a very profound impact on Connor in the first stage.

"(How come Joel Smith, Evans Hernandez, and Anthony Burke are also in it)"

“(What’s going on?)” Perez next to him was also confused.

The performance was about to begin, but because dozens of people suddenly stood up, everyone was confused and had no idea what was going on.

"(wrong)"

At this time, after repeatedly looking at the faces in the audience, Connor suddenly realized something.
“(These pianists all seem to have one thing in common.)”

"(What do they have in common?)"

Connor turned his head, with an expression that could be described as fearful:

"(They are all pianists who played classical music in the first stage.)"

At this time, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, who were on the stage, were also confused when they saw this scene in the audience.

Until these cellists put their fists on their hearts - this was a sincere blessing to the players who were about to play in the arena.

They looked at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu calmly and firmly. One of the British cellists even pointed his finger at the location of the musician statue in the Golden Hall.

The meaning is very clear——

Let’s summit here.

"."

From these looks, Lin Tian understood.

They were expressing their support for him and Gan Yanyu in the most tactful way possible.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

original,

In this arena full of arrogant white players, they were not unknown. Seeing that the two men understood what they meant, the cellists returned to their seats.

In the eyes of other audience members and cellists.

They couldn't understand why these people would pay such tribute to these two unknown Chinese cellists.

But only these people know.

These two young men were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

What a legendary prosperity they created in 2024-2025.

That was a prosperous era called "Moonlight and Cat"; "Symphony of Fate", "Ode to Love" and "Symphony No. Pathétique in G minor"!
Among these classical music that are worthy of standing in the annals of music history, Moonlight and Cat have brought an unprecedented classical flourishing age to the musicians all over the world who love classical music and have dedicated their lifelong musical talents to classical music!!

it's here.

They will witness with their own eyes the people who create this prosperous era.

Write their stories here!
Lin Tian nodded slightly and shrugged.

When he and Gan Yanyu got up in the lounge just now, he actually heard the discussions of those people in the lounge.

What are the "connections" and "how can we play after Isaac and Brian" and so on.

Lin Tian ignored them.

Gan Yanyu, who would have been affected by this in the past, remained silent after hearing these words.

Lin Tian knew why.

Because they all knew very well that those people who were talking about them had no idea what kind of people Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were. They also had no understanding of the current situation at all. They were just thinking about laughing at the joke of two people with connections who overestimated their own capabilities.

The truth is, they have no idea.

They are the challengers!
Cello, start——

As the girl raised the bow, her hair and the bow flew in the air, driving the melody out of the music.

The cello plays.

Lin Tian's piano immediately followed.

As soon as the boy's fingers touched the keys, the notes came alive.

The first eighth note that popped out was a little elf wearing a Turkish felt hat. It somersaulted on the edges of the ebony keys, and fine gold powder fell from its red velvet vest.

The moonlight flows down along the arpeggio. The melody in the middle section is like a scroll of night unfolding on silk, with silver-embroidered vines winding in the folds, and each legato note buries an unpolished moonstone deep in the fabric.

The beginning is the climax!
This lively music, accompanied by cheerful dance moves, set off a lively dance in the golden hall.

Almost the moment the music started.

Xichuan Youbai, who was sitting on the chair, widened his eyes slightly:
"What a childlike music."

The main part in A major is like a Rococo mirror hall, with the ornaments infinitely refracted between the mirrors, and each tremolo imprisoning a glass butterfly.

Such an elegant artistic rhythm, with a childlike joy, makes all the audience's emotions jump together.

"(This is so cute!)" Connor couldn't help but exclaim.

There is no better adjective to describe this song than childlike innocence.

In the audience of the Golden Hall, a child even clapped his hands happily to the beat. The parents nearby also smiled with joy and followed the child's example. The joyful atmosphere instantly infected the entire audience.

If the audience is like this, the performers should be no different.

Seeing the cute children in the audience, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Afterwards, they channeled this emotion into their musical instruments and joined the ensemble with a more flamboyant presence.

At this moment, the stage seemed to have become a stage for them to perform a joyful duet dance.

"(Nice to hear!)"

Perez exclaimed frankly,
“(Turkish March. My God, I haven’t heard such a good march in a long time!)”

Compared to the previous two performances.

The extreme and deep sense of oppression brought by Isaac.

Brian's unruly nobility and grandeur.

There is only the current Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

Their music is pure, simple, and makes people feel so relaxed and happy.

After experiencing two music performances, it is really enjoyable to hear such a piece of music now.
“(This is so well written! Damn!)”

Connor, who had remained calm until now, finally couldn't help but swore.

The rhythm of the eighth notes fits in perfectly like precise gears, and the sixteenth notes in between flow quickly in the gaps like liquid mercury, shining with silver light.

The main melody's ups and downs of 3.2 times per second can stimulate the brain to release dopamine, which makes people happy.
The result is!

This "Turkish March" is like a clockwork music box that keeps playing.

The more you listen, the more addictive it becomes.
Simply can not stop! !
Connor looked at the list again and scanned the column of songs that he had missed just now.

【《Turkish March》-Lin Tian. 】

"Haha, it's him indeed!!"

Connor couldn't help but burst into laughter, but inside, he couldn't help but tremble.

If he didn't dare to make a conclusion before the performance began.

So, when he heard the "Turkish March", he was immediately convinced.

It must be him!
Except for the "Lin Tian" who defeated Nishikawa Yubai, no other "Lin Tian" can create such a song.

did not expect,
I actually met that magical oriental composer at the Cole Cup!

On the one hand, Connor was excited to meet the legendary composer, but on the other hand, he felt a sense of fear after seeing such a powerful opponent.

“(That’s not the point.)”

Perez, who was standing aside, showed rare calmness at this moment.

He reminded:
"(The point is, this song needs this state!)"

Obviously, to play such a piece well in such an important competition, first of all, one must be absolutely "confident".

Only by focusing on the game, putting everything on the field behind you, and immersing yourself in the music can you pass on this emotion to others.

And Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.

After experiencing the first performance of Isaac and Brian, they were still not affected at all.
What a horrible situation this is.

Their self-confidence is different from Brian's arrogance that comes from his bones.

They have pure trust in their own abilities and their partners!

The reason is that they never take any player, including Isaac and Brian, seriously!
at the same time,

Zorn, who was in lounge number two, was stunned by the performance.

He recalled what happened in the viewing room that day.

"You are not as good as me—"

The girl's words,

Whether it was targeted or not, it was never him.

But, where were all the people in the viewing room at that time? (End of this chapter)
