CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 245: THE PASSIONATE UNDERGROUND PERFORMANCE! (4K)_2

"(Can’t you see it? Her aura...)"

Kana looked back at the stage, showing a sense of reverence she hadn’t shown before.

"(Yanyu’s stage experience... is not any less than ours... in fact... much, much more!!)"

...

As the music reached its climax,

Lin Tian himself was swept away by the melody.

Especially with the sensation of alcohol continuously hitting his brain nerves...

Exhilarating!

Lin Tian completely let loose.

The piano in his hands began to pick up pace.

This was a very rare occasion where he took the initiative to speed up while playing with Gan Yanyu.

The original score of "Beethoven Virus,"

Its main part is performed by the Violin.

Only the light and nimble Violin can handle the extreme acceleration and continuous repetition required by the movement.

But after the score was adapted for the cello,

It was difficult for the heavy and profound cello to replicate the speed of the violin.

Logically, this section should have been modified—to either change the style of the piece to a more emotional and relaxing rhythm, or to find a way to lead the main part to the piano.

But Lin Tian didn’t!

He just nimbly Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V’d the sheet music directly!

It’s like letting you drive a BYD Qin, after a ride-hailing pickup, suddenly accelerating to 160 mph and racing up Qiuming Mountain.

There was a kind of disregard for the cello’s survivability that was beautiful.

Lin Tian only needed to write out the sheet music; Gan Yanyu had much more to consider.

But Lin Tian knew.

Other people’s cellos couldn’t do it, but Gan Yanyu’s definitely could!

That’s why he was so confident.

"..."

After Lin Tian’s acceleration began,

Sure enough, Gan Yanyu’s cello also started to gallop.

Urgent, passionate, burning melodies!

The wickedly addictive combination of instruments played over and over!

——The atmosphere in the whole venue was soaring!

All the audience members were moved by the tune, their bodies starting to bounce along.

A single cello, one piano, accompanied by a drummer,

Could actually create such intoxicating and irresistible music!

"Bloody amazing!!"

"Who says cello and piano can’t be thrilling? This is freaking explosive!"

"So strong... I bet the JK girl’s hands are almost leaving afterimages?!"

Seeing this scene,

Some in the audience didn’t even jump along, they were simply stunned.

Is this really a performance you can see in a livehouse?

But I must say,

Even though the music is exhilarating and intoxicating...

It exudes a certain... sophistication!

I don’t know if it’s because of the instruments or the piece itself.

It’s as if, though everyone is clubbing...

They are dressed in suits and tailcoats, in the ballroom of high society, jumping along with socialites and nobility.

There’s an indescribable... elegance!!

One of the tourists who wasn’t a student, had come to Tokyo with a friend, was completely immersed in Gan Yanyu’s performance.

"Yanyu... hehe... Yanyu...."

But as the music deepened,

"No, something’s wrong!"

The boy suddenly lifted his head,

"Which Yanyu??"

"..."

As the music got faster and faster,

The drummer’s beats became more and more frenzied.

It’s smoking hot!

The drummer was sweating bullets.

What’s up with these two guys?!

It’s just a performance... there’s no need to go all out like this?!

He quietly congratulated himself, thankful that he was just a drummer, with less complex hand movements, so... he could just about keep up.

Had it been any other instrument, it would definitely be doomed.

——And the other instruments,

Members of "Cosmic Flying Pig" at that moment,

Watching the performance on stage, were also dumbfounded.

"Unbelievable...."

The bassist mumbled, evidently too shocked to speak.

"（I didn’t expect Yanyu to be so incredible... there’s no way she couldn’t keep up with our performance... to think I was about to refuse her...）"

"（Is it possible）."

Another bandmate paused, chuckled at himself with a touch of self-mockery, "（Was she worried that we couldn’t keep up with her?）"

"（Because, didn’t you see, her performance... was utterly intoxicating, right?）"

Hearing this, Kana lifted her head and looked towards Gan Yanyu on stage.

Within this frenzied music.

At this moment, Gan Yanyu seemed to have completely entered a state of self-forgetfulness, eyes closed as if shutting out everything around her.

She said nothing, simply playing the cello relentlessly.

Behind her, Lin Tian was doing the same.

Both were seemingly no less exhilarated by the music than the audience!

"....."

For the first time.

Lin Tian, his brain already drenched in a heady buzz, lifted his head while playing the piano and for the first time saw the audience swaying in time with his music just two or three meters away from the stage.

Music was like an effective weapon, currently in Lin Tian’s hands.

With each stroke of Lin Tian, it brought sharp, penetrating feedback.

The emotions of all the audience were as if held at knife-point by him.

Lin Tian could draw blood whenever he wished.

So effortlessly.

Since when had the piano become a weapon that showed its effectiveness with each strike?

Lin Tian wanted them to cry... they would cry.

Wanted them to laugh... they would laugh.

This feeling... it was incredible!

So exhilarating!

So this is what it feels like to be a musician?

Lin Tian had never so tangibly experienced the joy that music brings to the performer.

Apparently, all that’s needed is to give a pure performance.

At such a place where one doesn’t have to suppress and can purely enjoy the music.

Now, he was beginning to get it.

Why Gan Yanyu’s dream always included:

To let everyone in the world hear her cello, to hear her classical music.

Lin Tian had always thought it was a very classy and grand dream, at least for Gan Yanyu.

But for Lin Tian.

This dream was just awesomely cool!

Count me in!

"....."

The piano led the way into the third climatic surge.

However, due to the inherent limitations of the cello.

Gan Yanyu, who had already reached her limit, didn’t follow.

Not that she couldn’t, but the cello itself simply couldn’t compete with the piano in terms of speed.

Gan Yanyu understood Lin Tian’s intention.

She passed the baton to Lin Tian.

Now, the piano began to take the lead in the music!

As the sound of the piano stood out sharply.

It caused another round of exclamation among the audience.

"Damn, DK’s powering up!"

"（Seriously, this guy is awesome too!）"

"Someone who partners with Yanyu couldn’t possibly be bad!!"

"Is nobody wondering... how come both of them are high school students? Are high school students from Tian Chao that good?）"

Watching Lin Tian seat at the stage, playing the piano with deep emotion.

Cool... So cool!

All the young girls from Tokyo below were virtually swooning.

In the air filled with the scent of alcohol, if it weren’t for Gan Yanyu sitting beside Lin Tian, these Tokyo girls would undoubtedly rush up to ask for his Instagram after the performance.

Beside the bar.

Kana kept topping up her glass until she grew weary.

After downing glass after glass of beer, she still couldn’t help but marvel,

"（This piece is so beautiful... none of the songs I usually write for the band are anywhere near this level...）"

"（I’m really curious, what’s the name of this piece by Yanyu and her partner? I’ve never heard it before, which band’s work is this...?）"

"（It’s their own composition.）"

Just then.

The blue-haired girl who had been quietly wiping the glasses at the bar spoke up.

The bandmates all looked over.

The blue-haired girl, although her expression was somewhat bitter, her eyes revealed immense pride and satisfaction as she looked towards the two on stage,

"（I’ve checked with a friend, they are a very famous musician duo from the Mainland called Moonlight and Cat, and just last month, they won a very beautiful cello competition trophy.）"

"（This time coming to Japan, the guy is going to participate in the ’Xiao Bang’ International Piano Competition held in Tokyo in a few days.）"
