Chapter 311: Live Stream, the Greatest Classical Concert in History!
“`
“`
“Is Teacher Gan okay?”
“`
“`
Watching Yun Qiu Qiu suddenly run away, Kana curiously asked.
“`
“`
“She’s fine.”
“`
“`
Looking at Yun Qiu Qiu’s fleeing figure, Lin Tian said,
“She just can’t handle it right now.”
“`
“`
It’s understandable to be shocked when your favorite band takes a different shape all of a sudden.
“`
“`
Take Lin Tian’s love for Ayase Gakki for example.
“`
“`
Of course, she’s a serious adult actress.
“`
“`
It’s hard for anyone to resist the pure-hearted high school student and the nearly invincible first love vibe in her earlier works like “A Love Song” and “My Boss My Hero.”
“`
“`
In the film “Committed but Useful” in 2016, her appearance with a “wife aura” had already made Lin Tian feel uncomfortable, as if his long-admired schoolgirl was now a young wife.
“`
“`
Recently, in her new film “Diary of Foreign Lands,” she looked more mature, almost visibly aging in a dramatic way. This went beyond marriage—it felt like she had been stomped on for years.
“`
“`
Lin Tian almost wanted to confront Genki Haru for an explanation.
“`
“`
Even though he knew the age-related decline of actresses was common sense, seeing a high school student suddenly turn into a middle-aged woman took a toll.
“`
“`
Though maybe making a comparison here isn’t quite apt.
“`
“`
Because Kana and others, in a way, were sort of “pulled down” by Lin Tian.
“`
“`
“Let’s get ready and quickly go over our performance one more time,” Lin Tian said.
“`
“`
“Okay!”
“`
“`
Although Cosmic Flying Pig had shed their punk look, they still exuded boundless energy and enthusiasm!
“`
“`
On stage, everything was set up and checked.
“`
“`
Following the director’s instructions, they made their way on stage one by one.
“`
“`
The currently decided order was: Yun Qiu Qiu first, Nanaly second, and Bai Xi third—all taking turns playing alongside Lin Tian and Gan Yan Yu.
“`
“`
As for Cosmic Flying Pig… Lin Tian had other plans.
“`
“`
Though it was just a rehearsal, and no serious combat was involved, everyone followed Lin Tian’s lead and completed a full round.
“`
“`
Each song was briefly played out on stage.
“`
“`
After going through it once, everyone felt exhilarated and energized.
“`
“`
Back in the rest room, Nanaly eagerly spun around with her arms wide open.
“`
“`
“Ah~ Performing on such a grand stage feels so different!”
“`
“`
“I thought you would be immune to any big scene since you’ve been to so many competitions in Britain,” Lin Tian teased.
“`
“`
“No, there’s a huge difference between a competition and a concert!”
Nanaly stated. Then, the young lady appeared somewhat lost in thought.
“`
“`
“Standing on this stage, you feel like an international star! Imagine having fans below who adore you while you are the 21st-century fashion queen…”
“`
“`
“Why a fashion queen though?”
Lin Tian replied, shouldn’t it be the role of a great musician?
“`
“`
But there was a point Nanaly did hit right.
“`
“`
Performing musicians rarely get the idol worship treatment given to those crossing their art with singing and dancing.
“`
“`
Though being part of music, those who sing and dance seem to enjoy more fanfare than mere composers.
“`
“`
Moonlight and Cat have risen because of a less-than-normal composer, and a similarly abnormal non-human cellist.
“`
“`
But thinking so might strip it of its beauty.
“`
“`
Wasn’t it the purity and dedication that led them to their career as professional musicians?
“`
“`
If they should ever achieve fame or not, popularity or a small group of fans—those were never the standards of being a successful musician.
“`
“`
“If someone does not love what they do, they can’t last in this field,” Nanaly exclaimed, suddenly red-eyed, near-tearful.
“`
“`
“What?” Lin Tian was puzzled.
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
Nanaly didn’t reply and just buried herself in her phone.
“`
“`
“However, today everyone performed wonderfully, even surpassing expectations!”
“`
“`
In the end, Lin Tian summed up with a confident tone.
“`
“`
Being the person who brought everyone together, he knew he needed to pump everyone up.
“`
“`
After completing another round, Lin Tian felt on top of the world.
“`
“`
He could foresee tomorrow’s concert becoming the greatest classical concert in history.
“`
“`
Just then, Lin Tian felt something tugging at his jacket.
“`
“`
Turning around, he saw Yun Qiu Qiu.
“`
“`
“Teacher Gan, are you alright?”
“`
“`
She pointed towards a corner where Gan Yan Yu had been resting.
“`
“`
Lin Tian’s eyes widened, looking up.
“`
“`
At the corner of the rest room…
“`
“`
Gan Yan Yu, who had come back from practice sitting against the wall, appeared a bit pale.
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
Lin Tian fell silent.
“`
“`
At this moment, others in the room also noticed and hurried over.
“`
“`
“Teacher Gan?”
“`
“`
Bai Xi bent down, asking.
“`
“`
Gan Yan Yu, like a frightened rabbit, shrunk back suddenly, slowly turning her head.
“`
“`
“A-Ah?”
“`
“`
“You don’t look well,” Nanaly frowned, “Didn’t you sleep properly?”
“`
“`
“No, I-I’m just a bit tired,” Gan Yan Yu covered her face, glancing away.
“`
“`
“Are you seriously coughing?” Yun Qiu Qiu asked.
“`
“`
“Yes! I heard her while we were rehearsing!” Nanaly added.
“`
“`
“Are you alright? Should you see a doctor?”
“`
“`
“It’s April, the season for illnesses. You definitely need to take care,” Bai Xi said.
“`
“`
“Thank you for your concern. Honestly, I am just a bit cold, it’s nothing really,” Gan Yan Yu raised her head, giving a weak smile to the group.
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
No one seemed convinced.
“`
“`
Bai Xi, particularly, looked confused.
“`
“`
“I remember, Teacher Gan has asthma, right?”
“`
“`
“Yes, and it’s severe enough not to perform like this,” Yun Qiu Qiu responded.
“`
“`
“More than that,” Nanaly added,
“`
“`
“During her time in Britain, she had psychological illness too. I often saw her pop lots of pills backstage before every competition.”
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
“Severe asthma and mental health problems—she definitely shouldn’t even be a professional performer.”
“`
“`
Bai Xi stared at Gan Yan Yu, growing increasingly intense.
“`
“`
Bai Xi had been deeply touched hearing about Gan Yan Yu’s conditions from Lin Tian just last week.
“`
“`
To become an outstanding performer:
“`
“`
A calm mind, unhindered breathing, stage presence, complete control over the venue—these were all essential.
“`
“`
This girl had faced all these challenges.
“`
“`
Without much, she struggled just to stand on the stage and play like a regular person.
“`
“`
It wasn’t her path; the cello was never meant for her.
“`
“`
Yet, here she was, persevering.
“`
“`
A rebellion against fate!
“`
“`
So beautiful!
“`
“`
Bai Xi admired her deeply.
“`
“`
Sympathetic yet envious, she envied Gan Yan Yu’s life and journey.
“`
“`
Success would make her a legend;
“`
“`
Failure—just another pitiful soul.
“`
“`
That very moment.
“`
“`
Nanaly’s expression shifted to solemnity.
“`
“`
She stared at Gan Yan Yu through tearful eyes.
“`
“`
For the first time truly noticing her condition.
“`
“`
“Gan Yan Yu, if anything’s wrong, don’t push yourself.”
“`
“`
Nanaly suddenly grabbed her fists tightly, shouting loudly.
“`
“`
Everyone turned around.
“`
“`
“Playing is important, and we’ll support you, but your health—you must prioritize it,” Bai Xi said earnestly.
“`
“`
They were both in unison.
“`
“`
Gan Yan Yu had health issues that weren’t light.
“`
“`
Chronic or not, severe or not—clearly not fit for this role.
“`
“`
She always looked frail.
“`
“`
With her health condition, she might fall ill anytime.
“`
“`
Tomorrow’s concert was crucial.
“`
“`
If anything went awry, it would leave a scar.
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
Gan Yan Yu didn’t reply immediately.
“`
“`
She nodded faintly, smiling.
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
“Wait, where’s Lin Tian?!”
“`
“`
Realizing something, Nanaly placed her hands on her hips, glaring at Lin Tian angrily.
“`
“`
“With how bad Teacher Gan is coughing, and you not checking on her?”
“`
“`
“I know,” Lin Tian sighed, “Teacher Gan just had a sore throat from all the sweets, I’ve already taken her to get medication. She’s fine.”
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
A sore throat like hers should look different?
“`
“`
Nanaly’s anger peaked.
“`
“`
Halted by Bai Xi.
“`
“`
“She’d know better about Gan teachers’ condition.”
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
Nanaly finally relented.
“`
“`
“Teachers, prepare for the second round of rehearsals.”
“`
“`
He Zhi Chen walked in and notified everyone.
“`
“`
Lin Tian looked out, watching Gan Yan Yu struggling to her feet.
“`
“`
April 16th.
“`
“`
Finally, everything was happening.
“`
“`
Throngs of music fans were excited.
“`
“`
The day of Moonlight and Cat’s concert.
“`
“`
Qingzhou city traffic was a nightmare.
“`
“`
People poured in from across the nation.
“`
“`
“Hello, audience friends, welcome to the ‘NQ’ official channel!”
“`
“`
“Whether this is your first or hundredth time here, as the most authoritative music media outlet in Qingjiang Province, my colleagues and I are here today to bring you along!”
“`
“`
A female reporter stood beside the road, delivering her speech excitedly.
“`
“`
The camera panned up, showing the grand building behind.
“`
“`
“Now, folks, we’re standing in front of the largest venue in Qingjiang Province, the Qingjiang International Cultural Center!”
“`
“`
“As every Qingzhou resident knows, this place is hallowed ground to us!”
“`
“`
“Every major event, international expos, and New Year events take place here.”
“`
“`
“Only those renowned celebrities can perform here nationwide.”
“`
“`
“Today, we have the honor of witnessing the first personal concert of these two musicians here—Moonlight and Cat!”
“`
“`
Meanwhile,
“`
“`
Chatting threads flew across the live stream.
“`
“`
Fans and music enthusiasts unable to attend were watching online.
“`
“`
“OMG! It’s huge?!“
“`
“`
“Never imagined such a massive stadium could have that many people.“
“`
“`
“Wow, so cool, Moonlight and Cat brand is going hard!!“
“`
“`
“Making history!“
“`
“`
“.”
“`
“`
“Yes,” the reporter smiled.
“`
“`
“We Qingzhou natives, Moonlight and Cat, not only are the first musicians to perform here in the Qingjiang International Cultural Center, but globally, ‘NQ’ can confidently say this achievement isn’t surpassed by more than ten.”
“`
“`
“But if we narrow it down to only classical musicians—”
“`
“`
“There has only been one so far in the entire 21st century, our local musician, Moonlight and Cat!”
“`
“`
““Awesome!!“
“`
“`
“This is real! Even non-likes will be silenced!“
“`
“`
“Haha, she keeps saying our Qingzhou, clearly proud!“
“`
“`
“Indeed, if my hometown could boast something like that, I’d brag about it too!“
