Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 686 - 432 They... Seem to Be Called Moonlight and Cat_2
So, to everyone, standing at the center of the world, they don’t understand or care about the happenings elsewhere.
.....
And as the topic further fermented,
in the discussions among netizens,
more and more Asian netizens began to speak out and join the discussions on Twitter.
Whether it’s against those who are being subtly sarcastic or those who are neutral,
Asian netizens generally uphold one viewpoint—
Screw you!
The ever-entertaining internet shouting match in sports has once again played out.
But this time, European and American netizens were completely baffled.
No way,
I’ve been speaking up for you guys!
Wasn’t I speaking the truth objectively?
I was being very neutral!
Why the scolding?
[.....]
After a long string of friendly exchanges and greetings from netizens around the world,
after a "full exchange of views",
the netizens, whose heads were buzzing from all the shouting, finally understood a bit from the key phrases extracted from numerous identity booklets.
It seems that,
they’re not here to support some lousy European cellist.
They have their own musician to support, which is why they’re gathered here.
What’s the name...
[Moonlight and Cats）]...?
...
...
"(Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Golden Hall! Coming up next is the second stage of the ’Keller Cup’ World Cello Competition!)"
"(Please be seated in an orderly fashion, thank you to all the teachers present today, thanks to the World Cello Association, Vienna Music Association, and sponsors like Starr Instruments for their support.....)"
The host was on stage running through the opening procedures.
Backstage.
Sitting in the first lounge, Lin Tian held Gan Yanyu’s palm next to him.
"Nervous?" Lin Tian asked.
Gan Yanyu gently shook her head and smiled,
"I’m just, a little happy."
"Because you’re about to perform in the Golden Hall?"
"Not entirely."
"So, you’re happy because you’re soon going to marry me?"
Lin Tian laughed "hehe", and as soon as he said that, Gan Yanyu quickly covered her face and buried her head down.
Not to be outdone, Gan Yanyu pinched Lin Tian’s thigh.
"Ouch!" Lin Tian screamed.
Gan Yanyu pouted her little mouth.
Now Lin Tian is speaking more and more boldly.
Relying on the fact that they’re speaking Chinese that others don’t understand, he often teases her in public.
In the past, the reason they never got together.
Was because Gan Yanyu worried that romance would affect their competitions.
Now it’s good.
Lin Tian wasn’t pretending anymore; about to start the competition, he was still teasing her here....
Stupid Lin Tian!
Gan Yanyu secretly cursed in her heart.
But her expression couldn’t deceive anyone; a sweet, pampering smile always hung on her lips.
.....
In this second stage of the competition, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were grouped into Group B.
Whether they can advance from the first stage depends on the rankings within Group A and Group B; competitors from different groups don’t form a competitive relationship.
So, grouping is particularly important for the competitors.
The night before, when they received the list, Lin Tian specially took a look.
Mainly to see if any strong opponents were in the same group as Gan Yanyu.
After confirming that Isaac and Nishikawa Yuubei, as well as Nannali, were all in Group A,
Lin Tian closed the webpage.
"Didn’t you finish reading?" Gan Yanyu immediately pouted her little mouth.
"It’s enough."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
For them, the only two threats aren’t in Group B.
All the others, even a long list that Mr. Wan Qi read out sparsely, weren’t worth mentioning.
What they need to do next is give this group of foreigners a little Eastern shock.
....
The players in Group B were divided between two large lounges, numbers 2 and 4.
Each lounge housed about 16 players, plus "extra" roles like Lin Tian’s such as an accompanist or manager, making the lounge’s population close to 30 people.
From the moment they sat down in the lounge,
a pair of resentful eyes from a chair not far away kept staring at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu.
Lin Tian had noticed for a long time, but he didn’t say anything.
And when Gan Yanyu just discovered it, she turned her head and saw an extremely gloomy pair of eyes from a white man, and she immediately grabbed Lin Tian’s arm, flustered.
"What to do, Lin Tian!!"
Gan Yanyu exclaimed,
"He wants to eat us!"
"Don’t panic."
Lin Tian comforted Gan Yanyu’s little hand,
"He’s a bit mentally defective."
"Huh?"
Gan Yanyu seemed to realize something, "You know him?"
"Sort of."
Lin Tian said, after all, they had introduced themselves to each other and even shook hands.
"Then how did you provoke him....."
"It was like this."
Lin Tian immediately explained seriously,
"Yesterday when I arrived at the Golden Hall after you went off on your own, I went to the restroom to do my business. This dude was squatting next to my stall and asked me for some paper."
"I thought I’d give it to him after I was done, but I guess he was too anxious and reached under the stall to grab my paper, but I had just finished, so when he reached out, he touched a handful....."
"So now, he especially resents me."
.....
"Re...Really?"
Gan Yanyu listened in disbelief; the story was too surreal.
She couldn’t tell if Lin Tian was joking or if it truly happened.
"Really."
Lin Tian said with deep sincerity,
"If you don’t believe me, look at him. He still feels disgusted thinking about it; he must be wiping his hands now."
Gan Yanyu turned her head to look.
Her gaze immediately met Brian’s.
Along with Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian also turned his head.
Seeing Lin Tian beside Gan Yanyu, Brian immediately gritted his teeth in anger, rubbing his hands furiously on his thighs.
"....."
Seeing this, Gan Yanyu immediately showed an extremely sympathetic look, turned her head back, and instinctively covered her small mouth.
"Sorry for grossing you out, Mr. Gan."
"Not...Not at all....."
Gan Yanyu gently waved her little hand, took a deep breath, and then worked hard to calm herself down,
"So pathetic... Let him watch then... It’s okay!"
"Mm-hmm."
"Later, let’s stay a bit further from him."
Gan Yanyu whispered to Lin Tian,
"I feel like he’s not mentally stable... I’m afraid he might do something impulsive to you later....."
"Alright, alright."
Seeing Gan Yanyu so concerned about his safety, Lin Tian immediately showed a goofy smile.
He once again turned his head and glared at Brian.
This time, when their eyes met, Brian immediately turned his head away, even though his face was half-red with anger, Lin Tian’s gaze made his spine shiver.
"(Next up is contestant, A Group, Isaac.)"
"(B Group, Brian, please get ready.)"
With the bilingual broadcast in English and German.
Brian stood up from his seat, took one last look at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, and then left the lounge.
"He’s really bothered." Gan Yanyu whispered.
"Let’s watch the competition first."
Lin Tian pulled Gan Yanyu’s thoughts back.
Soon, the big screen showed the figures of Isaac and Nishikawa Yuubei.
Isaac’s image didn’t seem quite like how Lin Tian imagined it, dressed in a black suit, walking with a gloomy aura.
Such a person can actually get along with the social butterfly Nishikawa Yuubei.
The moment they appeared, the entire audience was in an uproar.
At this moment, a cello player from a nearby lounge frowned and grumbled to his friend next to him,
"(Strange, if it’s not to support this European cellist, then... why are there so many cells in the crowd today?)"
His friend was equally puzzled,
"(Yes, if they didn’t come for him, then who? Is it for Moonlight and Cat?)"
