Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 160 - 129: Number One Fan

With an incredibly gentle sound of the cello reverberating in the competition arena.

In the resting area,

A group of people surrounded the big screen.

"Hey, isn’t this the hot new song ’Moonlight and Cat’ from Douyin?"

A performer quickly realized and said.

"Yes, Moonlight and Cat, I’ve always liked their pieces... but wasn’t this song just released a week and a half ago?"

"A song that was just released, and Gan Yanyu dares to bring it to a competition?!"

"I’ve also practiced this piece; it’s very difficult... I really admire her courage."

The explosive popularity of ’Moonlight and Cat’ in the music scene, especially among cellists, received a lot of attention.

Because ’Moonlight and Cat’ actually brought a lot of popularity to the cello on Douyin.

And every time ’Moonlight’ released a new song that became a hit online, as professional cellists, many would somewhat attempt to follow and play it once.

Like "Kangkang Dance", "G Minor Pathétique Symphony", and this "E Minor Cello Concerto"...

Honestly, they are all pieces with no small difficulty.

Even for professional cellists,

let alone presenting them in competition, being able to play completely and without mistakes, expressing the emotions accurately within a short period of time is already quite good.

"I remember last time at the Soul Concert she did the same thing, playing three songs by ’Moonlight’ in one go; she really is a hardcore fan of ’Moonlight’."

"Fan is a fan, but music concerts are one thing, competing like this..."

"I’m not optimistic... really not optimistic... I think even for someone with talent, this is suicidal..."

"....."

Bai Xi stood in the crowd.

Amidst these discussions, the young girl’s face showed no expression.

She merely stared intently at the face on the screen...

Her heart, in turmoil.

Gan Yanyu, others do not understand you.

But I know you.

Let them see—

Your strength!

...

Just do it like the usual practice.

Get on stage, play, then get off, just as simple as that.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Nothing to be anxious about.

Gan Yanyu told herself this.

She closed her eyes, feeling the melody in the music flow like a gentle stream...

The pendant on her chest was proof of Lin Tian’s presence by her side.

She, was not fighting alone.

This competition was not just for herself.

She must not drag Lin Tian down; she had to play the piece Lin Tian wrote seriously and well, letting everyone listen to it...

Right.

Didn’t Lin Tian say that he would watch her performance from the audience seats when it was her turn?

Where is he?

Gan Yanyu opened her eyes, and in a daze, the audience area in front of her,

The throng of moving figures became clearer and clearer...

"Ah ah ah ah! Gan Yanyu seems to have seen us!"

"Hurry, hurry, raise it! Let Gan see our enthusiasm!"

"Remember to take photos, take photos, okay!"

A group of excited young audience members raised light signs bearing "Gan Yanyu’s" name and waved them frantically.

Some people even stood up directly from their seats, just to wave their hands higher.

Excitement, enthusiasm, and urgency were written all over their faces, their mouths opening and closing, saying something unintelligible.

In Gan Yanyu’s gaze—

They gesticulated wildly with fierce facial expressions, as if they would pounce at any moment...

The young girl’s pupils suddenly dilated.

.....

"The momentum has weakened!"

Inside the resting room, a performer exclaimed in shock.

Sensing a subtle change in Gan Yanyu’s music, everyone became excited.

"It’s just the beginning... did it wilt so soon?"

"Is she... nervous? Is it due to a lack of experience in major competitions?"

"Ah, I told you, too young! At 18 years old, entering the professional group on an exceptional basis, how could the pressure not be huge!"

"When Teacher Bai Xi broke the convention to participate in the professional category and took second place at the Yingqin Cup, she was also 21!"

"..."

In contrast to everyone’s emotional fervor, there was Bai Xi standing aside.

Yet her face remained as calm as a gentle breeze and floating clouds.

The girl’s mind traveled through time, back to two years ago.

.....

That year, 2022, the Yingqin Cup.

It was the semi-finals.

Bai Xi, at 21, the youngest contestant in the professional category, was unnoticed and unspoken to in the lounge, as if ostracized.

She left the lounge alone and entered a secluded stairwell.

Planning to sit there and relax by listening to music.

But just as she took out her earphones and was about to put them on, a faint voice came from above.

"Do-mi-fa..." It was the sound of someone humming musical notes.

Bai Xi looked up and saw a girl sitting on the stairs above.

In her hands, she held a thick stack of music scores.

Small and young, her immature face showed a concentration that belied her appearance.

Bai Xi recognized the girl.

Gan Yanyu, 16, the youngest contestant in the youth category.

The youth category competition had already begun, and it wouldn’t be long before it was her turn.

At such a time, was she here alone memorizing music scores...?

Probably, she too couldn’t bear that kind of environment.

Looking at the scores in the girl’s hands, as thick as a book, Bai Xi was shocked.

She had never seen anyone memorize so many scores systematically and in such a terrifying quantity.

Bai Xi didn’t understand the point of doing so.

She didn’t disturb the serious girl, getting up and quietly leaving.

Until later.

The nickname "The Walking Classical Music Scores" spread throughout Qingzhou.

Bai Xi truly recognized this 16-year-old cellist.

While others were extolling how extraordinarily gifted the girl was,

Only Bai Xi knew that this girl was actually making efforts in secret, efforts that were hundreds of times more arduous than most could imagine...

Her dedication to classical music far surpassed everyone else’s.

Two years ago, Bai Xi regretted that she hadn’t witnessed Gan Yanyu’s performance on the competition stage.

But that year’s silhouette was eternally etched in her memory.

Now, here at the Star Cup.

They finally stood on the same stage, face to face in the professional category.

Bai Xi believed.

This, could not possibly be Gan Yanyu’s true strength!

Bring it out, show them all!

...

Dizziness.

Blurred vision.

Accelerated heartbeat.

All sorts of adverse reactions surged through Gan Yanyu’s body.

She gasped for air wildly, the judges’ sharp gazes stabbed at her like blades...

No... can’t be like this...

She couldn’t stand it, wasn’t willing to settle!

The girl bit her lips hard, lifted her head.

In a daze—

A tall figure appeared in the audience.

He was holding a sign bigger than any fan’s.

Five words were written on it—

[Gan Yanyu Rocks]

"....."

Gan Yanyu’s pupils suddenly dilated.

It was Lin Tian.

After holding up the sign, Lin Tian put it down and then snatched two glow sticks from a spectator next to him.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Gan Yanyu.

And then...

He began to dance!!
