Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 749 - 463: The Champion

Vienna, Golden Hall.

Keller Cup International Music Competition Finals.

As all the contestants have finished their performances.

In the hall,

It slowly falls into an eerie silence.

As if waiting for something, or rather, not wanting to miss any detail due to noise, every audience member wears expressions of excitement or enthusiasm, yet holds back, refraining from acting out.

"..."

"(Finally, it's coming.)"

Connor raises his head, takes a deep breath, and solemnly says,

"(Announce the final scores!)"

A brief three-minute break.

Without keeping everyone waiting for too long, the broadcast announces:

"(Please, Isaac, contestant Gan Yanyu, and their respective accompanists, come to the stage!)"

Thump thump thud——

Upon hearing this sound as if fate is about to be pronounced, all the musicians' hearts tighten instantly.

Here it comes!

The only two contestants in this grand final with "non-public" scores!

The champion will emerge from among them!

.....

Lin Tian holds Gan Yanyu's hand as they are about to leave the resting room.

Coincidentally, they also meet Nishikawa Yuubei, who is getting up together.

He exchanges a glance with Lin Tian, and faintly smiles.

"Where is Isaac?"

Lin Tian asks.

Ten minutes ago, he was still talking at the door, but now he seems to have not returned to the resting room.

"I don't know."

Nishikawa Yuubei smiles helplessly, but judging from his expression, he isn't very anxious, instead, there's a sense of acceptance,

"Maybe he needs some quiet time."

"Then what about us?"

"Let's go first, Mr. Lin Tian."

...

At this moment, two cameramen have appeared in the corridor, recording the entire process of several people heading to the stage from two different angles.

After opening the door of the resting room, Lin Tian unabashedly holds Gan Yanyu's hand in front of the director's camera, fingers tightly intertwined.

The girl's cheeks originally flushed, instinctively loosened her grip, but upon seeing the broadcast camera and feeling the warmth from Lin Tian's palm, a surge of blissful joy arises in Gan Yanyu's heart, and she grips Lin Tian's hand firmly again.

This action caused many onsite audience members to exclaim and express shock.

Some foreign spectators who met Moonlight and Cat today watched in surprise:

"(Wow... I thought they held hands on stage as a form of etiquette... Is it actually such a relationship?)"

"(They're so romantic! A perfect match!)"

"(Boy accompanies, girl competes... Just like the protagonists in a novel!)"

....

Amidst a heated atmosphere of discussion among the entire audience.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu return to the stage once more.

Together with them is Nishikawa Yuubei.

And arriving one minute late, but still making it onto the stage, is Isaac.

...However, Isaac's state clearly seems off.

His eyes are vacant, slouching as if drained of energy, almost like a walking corpse, reaching the stage.

Seeing his partner in such a state, Nishikawa Yuubei is shocked. But it seems he understands something, saying nothing, merely patting Isaac's shoulder and standing to his left.

This scene catches the attention of many spectators.

"(Isn't Isaac in a bad state?)"

"(Wow... Looks like he just suffered a tremendous shock!)"

"(But the result hasn't been announced yet, what's going on?)"

"(Is he okay? He looks quite pitiful....)"

Scattered sounds of discussion arise from the audience.

Isaac raises his weak eyes, glancing over.

Only to see Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu facing the judge's panel, standing proud, their hands tightly held together.....

Isaac's pupils seem to blur.

"(Next, let's welcome the Chairman of this Keller Cup's judging panel, Gregory Newman, on stage to announce the champion!)"

As the words fall.

An elderly conductor with a head full of silver hair, esteemed and respected, walks slowly to the center stage's microphone.

When he appears.

The atmosphere at the venue instantaneously reaches its peak.

"(Here comes Mr. Newman!)"

Connor exclaims excitedly,

"(His grandfather was the greatest conductor of the last century, serving as the chairman of the Vienna Music Association, and he himself is also an excellent conductor, having served as the Keller Cup judging panel chairman for 23 years! Although he no longer directly serves as a judge or participates in scoring, he still announces the champion of each competition!)"

"(It's great, I got to see him in person today!)"

Perez sighs. In the last Keller Cup, he stopped at the first stage, having no opportunity for this moment.

Walking onto the stage, Mr. Newman doesn't speak immediately, instead using his eyes seasoned by time to slowly survey the audience.

Then, he focuses on the four individuals behind him.

Especially when his gaze rests on Isaac,

Newman reveals a look of approval and appreciation.

Seemingly very much recognizing this guardian of competition rules and a king of pop music.

Yet now, Isaac's state doesn't quite match his approving gaze.

At this moment,

The entire music hall falls into a suffocating silence. Even the faint hum from the air conditioner's vent is clearly audible. Thousands of eyes, like spotlights, focus on the elderly man's slightly parting lips.

"(It is my great honor to announce the champion of this Keller Cup.....)"
