My girlfriend is a cellist

"By the way, how did you first notice Yan Yu?"

Gan Hua turned sideways and looked at Tuoba Jianhui who was standing beside him. Suddenly, he remembered something like this and asked with a frown,

"I remember that I never talked to you about my little granddaughter."

"Ha ha."

Tuoba Jianhui smiled, but for some reason, it seemed that his smile was a little dark.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Gan Hua made a "tsk" sound, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Because my Yu'er's game video is so strong, it immediately attracted you, an old man, and you came all the way to Qingzhou. Do you want to train her?"

Tuoba Jianhui touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said:
"In fact, when I first met her, I was planning to ask her to give up performing."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Gan Hua suddenly sat up from his chair.

He looked at Tuoba Jianhui with wide eyes.
"Is this happening?"

"Because of this, that kid Lin Tian hasn't forgiven me yet." Tuoba Jianhui laughed, with a hint of bitterness in his laughter.

He looked at the TV, bent down, rubbed his hands, and recalled,
"But if you want to say that you fell in love with her at first sight, it actually had nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me?"

"Ah."

Tuoba Jianhui said,

"Do you remember that boy?"

When Gan Hua heard the word "that boy", his heart skipped a beat.

"Yao Xing.?"

"Ah."

Tuoba Jianhui said,

"It's Yao Xing."

Tuoba Jianhui smiled and said, "So you still remember it."

"How could I not remember?" Gan Hua asked back.

The genius who once had a brief moment of success in the orchestra.

The young man who was the first person that Tuoba Jianhui placed hope on for the rise of "classical music".

In one performance, he destroyed everything he had.

Even though he screwed up everything, he disappeared completely.

But today,
It can be said that he is still Tuoba Jianhui's "white moonlight".

"I see."

Gan Hua sighed.

Is it because you saw the shadow of that boy in Yan Yu that you paid attention to her?
This is indeed in line with Tuoba Jianhui's style.

Speaking of this, Gan Hua suddenly felt dazed:
"That boy, why did he fall into the abyss?"

Maybe it’s because of his old age and the fact that he was in a coma for a year.

Gan Hua really couldn't remember what happened in the past.

"Hasn't he always been doing well?"

Gan Hua frowned and muttered.

"His performance is truly amazing. I have never seen a child with more talent than him."

"The performance he led in London was even reported by the British Arts Council, right?"

"He was only in his early 20s at the time, and he still had a long way to go. How could he suddenly become so angry?"

"Hey, what happened?"

It was as if he had touched a combination lock hidden deep in his brain that could not be unlocked. When Gan Hua fiddled with the dusty code again, he found so many things that he could not understand.

How did that concert in Paris nearly 20 years ago turn into a complete tragedy that tore the entire orchestra apart?
"It seems that you are indeed getting old and confused."

At this moment, Tuoba Jianhui patted Gan Hua's arm.

He looked at the TV and said calmly,

"There was an important guest at that performance."

"Important guest?"

Thump thump thump——

In a flash,

Gan Hua's heart suddenly tightened when it beat on the third beat.

He raised his head and followed Tuoba Jianhui's gaze to look at the TV. When he saw the figure in the judges' seat, his pupils suddenly dilated.

"right"

"I remembered."

Gan Hua murmured.

Because of the appearance of that "important guest".

The entire orchestra regards this tour as "potentially the only opportunity in this lifetime."

The four-year tour spanned more than thirty countries and included hundreds of concerts. Many veteran members of the band left because they could not support the huge expenses. Most of their replacements were newcomers, and the entire orchestra has been shaky to this day.

right now,

They may get the ending they want because of this tour, or they may fail completely and lose hope.

everything,
It all depends on whether we can satisfy this "important guest".

Let him see that classical music still has its necessary meaning!
Band leader Tuoba Jianhui gritted his teeth and ordered all members of the orchestra to perform at their best.

I, on the other hand, made a desperate decision——

"Even if I die, I want to die on the stage."

In the lounge, Tuoba Jianhui grabbed Gan Hua's arm so tightly that he bit his lips until they bled.

He is very clear that one-third of the band members now are newcomers, and they are no longer comparable to when they first started touring.

But even so,
Tuoba Jianhui still had to grasp at this straw.
He stared at the 40-year-old Gan Hua with bloodshot eyes. Gan Hua cried and grabbed Tuoba Jianhui's arm, vowing to do his best.

This scene,
This was seen by a young flutist who happened to be passing by.

The young flutist in this orchestra is named Yao Xing.

By the time everyone came back to their senses from this nightmarish, crazy, all-or-nothing gamble.

before,

Yao Xing stood in the center of the orchestra, his hair wet with sweat, his eyes empty, his face deathly pale, as if every cell in his body had been burned. His limp hands could no longer hold the flute, and the instrument in his hands fell to the ground.

One second before the performance was over,
"thump--"

The boy fell to the ground.

Also taken away was the hope of the entire orchestra.

"I sat under the stage during that performance and watched the whole process."

Yao Han raised his head and looked at the ceiling, looking a little dazed.

"."

"What happened to your brother?"

He Shumo asked cautiously after listening to Yao Han's story.

"He lay on the hospital bed, crying and holding my hand, and all he could say all day was: 'I screwed up everything', 'I ruined classical music', 'I couldn't save everyone'. He must have gone crazy."

"Was his performance really that bad?" He Shumo asked puzzledly.

"No!"

Yao Han turned his head and said loudly,

"If it weren't for his collapse at the last moment, I dare say that this is the best performance I have ever seen in this world!!" Yao Han looked at his palm excitedly.
"Yao Xing has always been suffering from severe mental weakness. At that time, he was determined to die while playing!"

"It was this determination that allowed him to create an unprecedented miracle in that performance. It was truly the most beautiful scene I have ever seen."

"Later, I watched countless performances and witnessed countless great performers, but I was never able to see the deep emotions I felt back then."

"Until I met Gan Yanyu."

"."

"Is this the reason why you have always been particularly interested in Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

He Shumo frowned and asked.

"Yes."

As if exhausted after a bout of hysteria, Yao Han sat back in his chair, head lowered.
"Only Gan Yanyu. She really treats every stage as her last performance."

“But I know this is not enough.”

"Their potential is more than that! Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian, ​​they can definitely replicate the deep emotion that touched the soul created by Yao Xing."

"So, that's why you've been so persistent in setting traps for them, in order to unleash their potential?" He Shumo asked.

He recalled the grand ensemble at the Longqin Cup.

He Shumo saw the whole process of how Yao Han manipulated everything behind the scenes.

to be frank,
Deep down, He Shumo despised this kind of behavior.

Because of Yao Han's manipulation, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were almost driven to a dead end. But when Yao Han said it, it became a light-hearted phrase "stimulating their potential".

He Shumo couldn't understand or accept it.

In the end, it was completely unexpected that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu withdrew from the competition on the finals stage.

Although He Shumo felt regretful at the time, he actually felt a little comforted when he saw Yao Han's furious look.

There is a feeling that evildoers will eventually get their comeuppance.

But seeing Yao Han's dejected look, He Shumo still sighed:

"No matter what, this is still too much."

"Yeah, I did too many crazy and unreasonable things."

Yao Han covered his face, and suddenly, his arms began to tremble.

"But I just..."

"I want to see my brother's back again."

He Shumo looked at Yao Han and was stunned.

"So. If it's Gan Yanyu."

Yao Han raised his head, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"No matter what desperate situation she encounters, she will never let it end so easily!"

"(The next contestant to appear is Gan Yanyu!)"

In the sound of the broadcast.

Lin Tian in a suit and Gan Yanyu in a white dress walked onto the stage!
They were as elegant as ever, walking with dignified steps, and almost the moment they appeared under the spotlight, all the audience could not take their eyes away.

"I finally waited for you."

Nanali clenched her fists and unconsciously moved her hips forward half a step.

“(It’s coming, Isaac.)”

Yubai Nishikawa patted Isaac on the shoulder to remind his partner.

“Ahhhhhhhh, damn brothers, everyone stand up! Lend your strength to Neko-chan!!”

Zhang Dong shouted in the live broadcast room, roaring with all his strength.

It’s time for the audience’s favorite segment, “Borrowing Strength.”

Considering that this should be the last time to borrow power in a short period of time, the audience in the live broadcast room also actively sent barrages.

[Fuck! Cat-chan, kill me! ! ]

[Just kill that white-skinned pig, who told him to show off! ! ]

[I am willing to exchange my future for the future of Mao Jiang for a bright future! ]

[Go! Cat-chan! No regrets! ! ]

Viewers from all over the country are posting videos on TikTok and sending their own videos of "borrowing strength" even at this moment!

Some people brought their whole family, young and old, and sat neatly on the sofa, hanging a banner that read "Come on Moonlight and Cat" high, acting like a family cheering group.

Some people put on big vests and performed "head-shaking boxing" in front of the camera, constantly humming and hawing at the camera, shouting to beat Isaac to death.

Internet celebrity "Don't Eat Coriander (Like a Freshman)" also released a work.

In the video, Su Ran and Xu Yong appeared together, raised their hands 45 degrees upwards, and shouted in unison that Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were awesome! !

No matter how hard everyone tries to support, cheer on all major websites and platforms.

And when Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu sat down on their performance chairs.

Everything gradually returned to calm.

"."

It was eerily quiet in the Golden Hall.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Gan Yanyu. Everyone had ulterior motives. All kinds of glances and looks, like blades, kept moving back and forth across the girl's body, as if they would cut her off at any time.

Feeling these sights,

Gan Yanyu sat under the cold spotlight, the cello in her arms like a silent black coffin.

In front of me, the judges' seats were hidden in the dark, and only a few small table lamps cast a faint glow on the paper.

Lin Tian sat at the piano behind her, his fingers hovering above the keys, his fingertips cold.

Gan Yanyu took a deep breath and smiled slightly.

She is no longer the little girl who would be affected by the audience's gaze.

-

The girl raised the bow.

The first note was played.

Then, the broken chords from the piano in Lin Tian's hands fell heavily, as if stepping on wet and cold mud. Under his leadership, the accompaniment orchestra also began to play.

"."

The sound of the cello was unusually low and sticky, and each long note carried a suffocating tremor, like the last breath of a dying person.

Almost as soon as the music started,

A heavy and oppressive mood descended upon the entire golden hall.

"(As expected. A suffocating feeling.)"

Connor gritted his teeth and said,
“(Teacher Lin Tian finally decided to play strong emotional classical music on the stage of the finals.)”

“(To be honest, after listening to Isaac’s performance just now, it’s really hard for ordinary people to empathize with such a performance.)”

Perez frowned. “Even with a performance as strong as that of Teacher Gan Yanyu, it is still difficult to dispel this feeling of discomfort.”

"(really)"

At the same time, on the other side, Isaac sneered the moment he heard the piano.
“(Because you know you’re going to lose, are you playing for yourself again? Are you going to say something like ‘leave no regrets’? ‘Play for yourself’ or something like that to encourage yourself before the game?)”

Isaac covered his forehead with his hands, showing an extremely annoyed expression.
"(So, just like that man, how many times do I have to listen to such selfish performances before I can stop)"

"(Hey, Isaac.)"

At this moment, Yubai Nishikawa interrupted Isaac's voice.

He pointed at the big screen with a curious look.

"(Aren't you curious about what those people do?)"

Isaac looked up in confusion and soon saw that there was another row of people behind Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian.

Is this a vocal group? (End of this chapter)
