Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 162 - 131: A Perfect Ending

"Lin Tian!"

Backstage in the corridor, Gan Yanyu bumped into Lin Tian who was waiting for her here.

"Oh."

"You’re alright, that’s great....."

Gan Yanyu covered her chest, breathing a sigh of relief,

"Just now, when I saw security heading your way, I thought you were going to get caught."

"Caught for what? It’s just support cheering; at most I was standing in the way of the audience behind me."

Lin Tian scratched his head and said with a smile.

However, the expressions on those two security guards when they approached were indeed fierce and filled with resentment.

They probably got scolded by their superiors.

They came over and sternly warned Lin Tian not to hold the support sticks too high during the competition.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but get irritated.

Before, no matter how much they reminded and protested, the organizers always behaved indifferently and permissively towards fan behavior.

As a result, he himself went to the venue to dance in support of Gan Yanyu, which set the audience ablaze.

Suddenly, it put the organizers in a tight spot...

Their inability to properly manage behavior earlier had now brought Lin Tian, a heavyweight number one fan, into play.

Now, they were indeed reaping what they sowed.

"How was... my performance just now?"

Gan Yanyu shrank her neck, asking expectantly.

"Champion!"

Lin Tian gave a thumbs-up.

"...Don’t joke around with me."

"Really, after watching the previous eight contestants... apart from Bai Xi whom I think was pretty good to watch, those like Zhu Ya and the rest, you have outperformed them by a mile in terms of how it sounded!" Lin Tian said earnestly.

"The competition’s judging criteria are not just about how it sounds, there are many other standards, it’s not certain that sounding good equates to high scores...." Gan Yanyu said very rigorously.

"Alright, let’s head back to the resting room."

Lin Tian patted Gan Yanyu’s shoulder, and softly chuckled.

He had seen all the effort Gan Yanyu had put in over the past month.

Despite various issues with Gan Yanyu, which might be incomprehensible in the eyes of others,

Gan Yanyu was indeed continuously seeking and trying until she could find a solution...

No matter what.

It was wonderful that Gan Yanyu was able to perform her music completely on this stage, just like usual.

The result was just an added value to Gan Yanyu’s growth this time!

...

Back in the resting lounge, as soon as the door was pushed open.

Gan Yanyu instantly became the center of attention.

"Gan Yanyu, your performance just now was really amazing!"

A woman who looked about a decade older than Gan Yanyu approached with enthusiasm.

She was Zhu Ya, one of the top five contestants in the Star Cup.

"Teacher Gan Yanyu, if you have time, could we discuss classical music together?"

Another woman came forward too, expressing her genuine admiration.

Then one after another.

"Amazing, Teacher Gan Yanyu, your performance."

"We are looking forward to seeing more from you on the Yingqin Cup stage!"

"..."

A group of people crowded around, greeting Gan Yanyu warmly.

The young girl shrunk in the middle, nodding and responding politely to each one.

Inside the resting room, there was a joyful atmosphere.

After all...

Aside from being rivals, all the contestants present are performers who share a common love for "music."

Once the element of competition is removed, only they can truly appreciate the importance of a kindred spirit in music.

And to most of the female contestants, Gan Yanyu, with her stunning beauty at 18, naturally inspired the desire to be close to her...

A few minutes later.

Lin Tian was finally waiting at their spot for Gan Yanyu’s return.

"Yo, has our star contestant returned from socializing?"

Gan Yanyu carried her cello case on her back and said,

"Let’s go."

"Go... go where?"

"Home, of course."

Lin Tian was startled, "Isn’t the result of the competition not out yet?"

"After all the performances are over, the judges need a day to deliberate. The final rankings will be announced tomorrow."

"Ah?" Lin Tian pointed to the other competitors in the rest area, "Why are those who have finished performing not leaving?"

"They are watching the performances of the other competitors, it’s kind of like early scouting for the Yingqin Cup."

Gan Yanyu tilted her head, "I actually don’t mind either way. Lin Tian, do you want to continue watching? It’s all right if you want to stay..."

"No watching!"

Lin Tian stood up, waving his hand,

"Let’s go, off to eat!"

...

...

Downtown, a luxurious seafood buffet restaurant.

A table for four.

"Cheers!"

Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu, and Gao Zhenyang clink their beer glasses together.

Lin Tian raised his beer and drained it in one go.

"Ah~"

He let out a satisfied sigh.

The beer was unlimited at this seafood buffet. Aside from the price of 399 per person being a bit steep, there were almost no downsides.

To celebrate the recently concluded Star Cup, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu chose this restaurant, and invited Teacher Gao Zhenyang, who had always been of great help to both of them.

At this point, Gao Zhenyang didn’t care about the drinking by these two high school students anymore.

Just be happy, and drink along!

"..."

After downing the chilled beer, Gan Yanyu suddenly said quietly,

"The results are not out yet... It feels a bit wrong for us to be celebrating, doesn’t it..."

"It’s not celebrating, it’s rewarding ourselves, you know what that is?"

Lin Tian spoke earnestly, "We’ve worked hard for so long, and now that the competition is finally over, of course we need to reward ourselves properly."

"Don’t worry, Teacher Gan Yanyu, I watched the live broadcast of the competition, you were incredible, I believe anyone who saw it live would be astounded!"

Gao Zhenyang said, pausing for a moment, then adding a word to Lin Tian,

"Of course, Teacher Lin Tian’s performance was also outstanding..."

"I’m just a cheerleader." Lin Tian quickly waved his hands, trying to prevent the subject from turning to himself.

"I really think that Gan Yanyu should have no big problem taking the crown."

Gao Zhenyang stated.

When Gao Zhenyang gets serious, he is always very earnest.

When even he said so, it meant that in his eyes, it was almost a certainty.

"I actually think... Bai Xi’s performance was better than mine."

Gan Yanyu spoke softly, yet seriously,

"At the beginning of my performance, there was a segment where my play faltered, while Bai Xi had no faults throughout."

"Yes, Bai Xi’s performance is indeed very strong, after all, she’s one of the hot contenders for this year’s Yingqin Cup, and the reviews from various music media have been exuberant."

Gao Zhenyang didn’t contradict Gan Yanyu’s words but spoke realistically,

"Your two performances, if just talking about technicality, are almost the same, but I think your emotional expression is clearly better... so I’m even more positive about you winning."

"Mhm."

Lin Tian nodded, agreeing with Gao Zhenyang’s opinion.

In fact, there was quite a bit to take away from this Star Cup.

For example, getting a rough idea of the opponents Gan Yanyu might face in the Yingqin Cup.

Not as easy as Lin Tian had imagined, chopping vegetables and cutting melons; there were indeed many competitors worth paying attention to, who might not be as good as Gan Yanyu overall but had some standout strengths that commanded respect.

Among the most important was Bai Xi.

At 23 years old, a self-taught performer who wasn’t classically trained, managed to present a piece of pop music on the cello stage and achieved great success with it.

Such a competitor was far more formidable than the others, and her overall strength had no obvious weaknesses.

In the upcoming Yingqin Cup, who knows what kind of pieces she might bring out...

"Lin Tian."

"Hm?"

Lin Tian turned his head and found Gan Yanyu staring at him intently,

"If one day you find out I may not be as strong as you think, would you still partner with me?"
