Chapter 191: Of Course I’ll Always Be By Yanyu’s Side (Extra Chapter) (Please Vote for Me on the Moon)
Actually, some of Tuoba Jianhui’s viewpoints, from the perspective of absolute rationality, Lin Tian felt they weren’t completely baseless.
But what Lin Tian couldn’t stand was that this guy always acted like an old sage, spouting off self-righteous nonsense.
When it came to Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu performing together,
Even Grandpa Gan didn’t say a “no,” and he didn’t interfere!
What about this “entrusting”?
Do you deserve to be “entrusted”?
“…”
After all, he was nearly seventy years old and was being scolded by an 18-year-old boy.
Tuoba Jianhui’s face clearly couldn’t handle the shame.
He held onto the wall with one hand, the other hand on his forehead, and coughed twice.
At the same time, looking at Lin Tian, he felt a deep sorrow.
“If you want, then just pretend it’s an old man talking to himself.”
“…”
The old man held the water cup in his hand and leaned against the wall,
“In the past, I also raised such children.”
“I know how severe the consequences can be if control isn’t handled well; I’ve seen it happen myself.”
“Seeing your performance, I was actually thinking just now, if the 30-year-old me had you as a pianist in the orchestra, perhaps that kid would have had a different outcome.”
Mostly, there were regrets.
He dedicated his whole life to the orchestra, nurturing countless performers.
Yet, that youthful figure remains vivid in his mind after all these years.
After seeing online how a few characteristics of his dear friend’s granddaughter resembled her grandfather, Tuoba Jianhui took up responsibility, coming to Sunjiang city to be the chief judge of the Parrot Zither Cup.
With today’s communication capabilities far exceeding those twenty years ago, the impact of a cello performer has grown immensely too.
Gan Yanyu’s performances will surely be heard around the world someday.
He must prevent another situation like before, where a genius musician’s career gets destroyed.
“I apologize, I spoke out of turn before—about ruining that kid’s musical journey. Perhaps, there were better ways.”
“But—”
As Tuoba Jianhui continued,
His tone suddenly turned serious,
“I still hold my opinion that his performance—will eventually destroy him!”
“You can show your ability to protect her through this performance, largely thanks to the piece ‘Canon in D major’ fitting so perfectly! What if in the future, we don’t have such pieces? Can you protect her until the end? Entrusting her to you, I hope you find the answers to these questions. But one day, you might get swept away by a similar performance.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Lin Tian smiled and waved his hand,
“First, stop talking about ‘entrusting’ or ‘not entrusting’. Without you saying, I’ll always and forever stay by Yanyu’s side as a partner!”
“Even if we head toward destruction together, Yanyu and I will go together; it has nothing to do with you or anyone else.”
As soon as he was done speaking,
Facing Tuoba Jianhui’s slightly red face from anger,
Lin Tian turned to leave.
Before taking two steps, he seemed to remember something.
Lin Tian turned back, facing Tuoba Jianhui with a gentle smile,
“Oh right, the piece ‘Canon in D major’—I wrote it myself.”
“Then, what you said about not having another such fitting piece in the future may be pointless.”
Having said that,
This time, Lin Tian opened the door to the rest room and walked in.
Only leaving behind a blushing but bewildered Tuoba Jianhui standing in place.
“What was I doing outside?”
“Geez, Lin Tian, you’ve been gone a really long time,”
Seeing Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu pursed her lips, emitting a somewhat displeased sound.
Ah, he needed to go to the toilet!
Lin Tian suddenly recalled.
He had intended to go to the toilet earlier!
But while being cheeky and insulting people, he just went straight back to the rest room after scolding Old Tuoba.
“Lined up for the restroom,”
Lin Tian explained.
Actually, he wanted to say the belt was troublesome, but considering the awkwardness if Gan Yanyu remained expressionless, he held it in.
“Did you see Tuoba-jun?”
Gan Yanyu calmly asked,
“How did you know?”
“Right when I tried to go look for you, I pushed open the door and saw both of you—so I turned back.”
“Did you hear what was said?”
Lin Tian suddenly grew tense.
“Hmm,”
Gan Yanyu tilted her head in thought and said,
“It was something about you planning to destroy me with Tuoba-jun.”
“Not, you typo!”
Lin Tian was shocked. He couldn’t believe anyone would misinterpret so much; was Gan Yanyu hearing voices already?
“Just kidding.”
Gan Yanyu covered her mouth and laughed.
She whispered to Lin Tian,
“It was actually, ‘I’ll always, forever stay by Yanyu’s side’.”
Lin Tian froze, raising his head.
The young woman looked at him, her eyes smiling widely.
“Teacher Gan,”
Heh?
“What did you say?”
Gan Yanyu pretended she hadn’t heard it, placing her hand beside her ear, making it into a funnel.
Leaning forward slightly,
“You mean someone outside called me ‘Yanyu,’ right?”
“Or is it the one who wants to stay with Yanyu forever? But as me, Teacher Gan, it wouldn’t count, right?”
“No no,”
Lin Tian denied hastily.
He finally understood how formidable Teacher Gan was—he seemed compliant, but a few sentences could turn his world upside down.
Lin Tian sighed.
Then, looking deep into the young woman’s eyes,
He said in a serious tone:
“Yanyu, I’ll always stay by your side, no matter where we go. I will accompany you, dedicating our lives to playing music!”
“I am, too,”
Gan Yanyu replied with a smile.
“”
“Uh uh, come on, results for Group B are about to be announced!”
At this moment, a hysteric voice interrupted them.
Inside the rest room, everyone rose—including Yun Qiufei, who had stayed silently in the corner, now hastily stood up.
On the big screen,
Judges returned to their seats.
The host had already moved to the stage.
“After the intense competition from the four contestants, the list of contestants advancing to the second round of Group B is hereby released…”
At this moment, not only the candidates inside the rest room,
Audiences got excited, pulling out their phones to capture this moment.
The judges sitting in the jury box were relatively relaxed, chatting among themselves, as if the result wasn’t much of a surprise.
“After careful consideration and fair judgment by the jury panel, we proudly announce the winners of this year’s Parrot Zither Cup semi-finals, Group B—”
“Gan Yanyu!”
In the thunderous applause from the crowd, the host declared,
“This contestant scored nine A+ and three A grades, decisively topping the group!”
“She will participate in the Parrot Zither Cup final next month at the same venue!”
Let’s continue to look forward to her outstanding performance!
