Upon hearing this, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu both paused simultaneously.
Though they didn’t really understand why Nannali insisted on dragging them to watch her competition until the end—
But, if they really watched it, there wouldn’t be any problem.
The most it would do is delay Gan’s dessert shop reward ti a bit.
Even though Lin Tian’s personality is such that he doesn’t care about anyone except Gan Yanyu, including friends.
But Nannali was being too serious, acting as if it was a matter of minutes, and now, she seed urgent and serious, as though she was proposing to Gan Yanyu.
"Well... shall we?"
Gan Yanyu looked at Lin Tian, seeking the young man’s opinion.
"Let’s watch."
Lin Tian expressed that he had no objection.
Upon hearing this, Nannali imdiately showed a reassuring smile.
She was about to walk forward when Lin Tian called her again:
"Can you answer a question for first?"
"Huh?"
Nannali turned her head, and Gan Yanyu beside her also showed a puzzled expression.
"Actually, it’s not very important, just pure curiosity."
Lin Tian said, because this matter had a bit of connection with Lin Tian before.
Back then, at the Dragon Violin Cup semifinals that determined Nannali’s life path.
Nannali, who had beco sowhat of a recluse, gradually opened up under Lin Tian’s guidance, telling him all about herself.
Lin Tian knew the final outco as well.
Probably influenced by Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu, and Bai Junze, Nannali eventually overca her past self as a "Prisoner Bird" during that competition.
A piece "Chromagram Sonata," painting in music.
Showed the musicians of Tian Chao what the pinnacle of talent as a cellist looked like.
Starting from that competition,
Nannali seed to have completely broken through her barriers, and began a winning spree in competitions.
Eventually reached the top as Dragon Violin Cup Champion.
Until the formal start of this Keller Cup, Nannali had been doing "practice through competition" across various European countries.
By constantly winning trophies in nurous competitions to maintain her touch, it’s also why Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu didn’t see Nannali during the first stage.
So now,
Lin Tian’s question arose.
"Nannali."
Lin Tian looked into her eyes and asked,
"What are you playing for now?"
.....
Upon this question, as if completely unexpected to co from Lin Tian’s mouth, Nannali’s pupils suddenly dilated, her body montarily stiffening.
"I rember you said before that you played the cello to escape from it, right?"
"But now you have already resolved those worries and made peace with your passion. Continuing to play the cello is rely because you ’don’t hate it.’ Your true love should still be painting, right?"
"Then why are you going all out now?"
Lin Tian asked sincerely.
Lin Tian originally thought that Nannali, who reconciled during the semifinals, would end her relationship with the cello with a more peaceful mindset.
However, Nannali not only didn’t go with the flow but beca more intense.
After Dragon Violin Cup, she even stord through nurous competitions and is now fighting hard in the Keller Cup.
When she just ntioned to the two that she was "under great pressure," Lin Tian began to wonder.
What are you struggling for?
Nannali, what are you playing for?
.....
Facing Lin Tian’s question, surprisingly, Nannali seed very calm.
She just looked into Lin Tian’s eyes, without saying anything, her pupils slightly open, her expression not indicating whether she was angry or happy.
More like she was thinking.
"The answer will be in my music."
Nannali said.
Lin Tian nodded, he understood.
A musician’s question, naturally, was to be answered by music.
Nannali glanced at Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu one last ti, held her cello, and turned to run.
...
Watching Nannali’s silhouette running into the distance, Lin Tian was about to turn back.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Lin Tian took out the phone, it was He Zhichen calling.
"Congratulations! Mr. Lin Tian!"
The call ca through with He Zhichen’s excited voice of congratulations,
"98.15 points, there’s still a ti difference with Europe, but by tomorrow morning, it will surely cause a nationwide sensation... Tian Chao hasn’t achieved a score of 98 in the Keller Cup in over forty years!"
"I’ll accept the congratulations when we get back." Lin Tian smiled.
"So where are you now? How co you haven’t co out yet? According to your habit, you’d co out as soon as the performance ended, right?"
He Zhichen asked,
"There’s also sothing I need to tell you all."
"What is it?"
"Not a big deal, but it’s not small either, mainly an article. It’s creating quite a stir on international websites now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian imdiately rembered the mixed expressions those cellists had shown them when he and Gan Yanyu returned to the rest area.
Related to that article?
"Could it be criticizing us?"
"Absolutely not, it’s rather grand praises."
"...."
Lin Tian had a faint premonition.
A feeling that his and Gan Yanyu’s performance might have hit these cellists hard.
But to know what’s truly going on, Lin Tian needs to go out and check.
"So where are you now?"
"——Don’t rush."
Lin Tian interrupted He Zhichen, his gaze shifted back to the big screen upon returning to the rest area.
Watching as Nannali walked towards the stage, Lin Tian said:
"One piece’s ti."
"We’ll co out."
