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 fernted,
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 ti, European and Arican 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 nurous identity booklets.
It seems that,
they’re not here to support so lousy European cellist.
They have their own musician to support, which is why they’re gathered here.
What’s the na...
[Moonlight and Cats）]...?
...
...
"(Ladies and gentlen, welco 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 Instrunts 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 ?"
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 scread.
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 sa 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 imdiately 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 ntioning.
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 mont 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 ti, but he didn’t say anything.
And when Gan Yanyu just discovered it, she turned her head and saw an extrely gloomy pair of eyes from a white man, and she imdiately grabbed Lin Tian’s arm, flustered.
"What to do, Lin Tian!!"
Gan Yanyu exclaid,
"He wants to eat us!"
"Don’t panic."
Lin Tian comforted Gan Yanyu’s little hand,
"He’s a bit ntally defective."
"Huh?"
Gan Yanyu seed to realize sothing, "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 imdiately 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 for so 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 ."
.....
"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 , 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 imdiately t Brian’s.
Along with Gan Yanyu, Lin Tian also turned his head.
Seeing Lin Tian beside Gan Yanyu, Brian imdiately gritted his teeth in anger, rubbing his hands furiously on his thighs.
"....."
Seeing this, Gan Yanyu imdiately showed an extrely 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 ntally stable... I’m afraid he might do sothing impulsive to you later....."
"Alright, alright."
Seeing Gan Yanyu so concerned about his safety, Lin Tian imdiately showed a goofy smile.
He once again turned his head and glared at Brian.
This ti, when their eyes t, Brian imdiately 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 mont they appeared, the entire audience was in an uproar.
At this mont, 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 co for him, then who? Is it for Moonlight and Cat?)"
