CHAPTER 622: CHAPTER 402: WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN DREAMS? (EXTRA UPDATE)_2

But she believed, in the end, at the moment of stepping onto the stage, in that instant.

All these distracting thoughts would disappear, and they would focus on... the dream before them!

....

"Contestant number 10, Gan Yanyu, you’re up next, please get ready!"

The staff pushed open the resting room door, calling for Gan Yanyu.

The girl was startled out of her thoughts.

"I...is it my turn?"

"Yes."

The staff frowned and said,

"Please go to the side of the stage to prepare immediately."

With that, the staff left.

Gan Yanyu looked down at her phone and realized that the message she sent to Lin Tian half an hour ago still hadn’t been replied to.

"What... happened?"

Gan Yanyu stood up, murmuring.

A bad feeling began to fill her heart.

She remembered that first stage with Lin Tian.

On that day, Lin Tian was also late, also didn’t return messages.

He’s not the kind of person who would be carefree on such an important day.....

Could it be... he’s upset that I didn’t explain things last night?

Will he... still make it?

All sorts of thoughts intertwined as Gan Yanyu stood there in a daze.

At this moment, the staff member returned and saw Gan Yanyu still daydreaming and loudly asked:

"Is something wrong?"

"My partner hasn’t arrived yet," Gan Yanyu said.

"...Huh??"

The staff widened their eyes, with an expression like "Are you kidding me?"

"Can... can you let contestant number 11 go first?"

Gan Yanyu said earnestly, then hurriedly added,

"I will communicate with her!"

"Do you think this is some local gala?!"

The staff angrily said,

"This is the Dragon Violin Cup, contestant number 10, please go to the waiting area immediately! Otherwise, you will be disqualified!"

...

"....The elegant performance came to an end as the girl’s graceful bowing figure graced the stage.

Bai Xi stood on stage, holding her skirt hem, bowing to the audience.

The entire audience erupted in applause.

"So beautiful... I really like sister Bai Xi!!"

"Her stage is like dancing! Watching her perform is always a pleasure... She’s truly captivating!"

"At the finals, Bai Xi’s performance today seems even more stunning than last time!"

"Although her expressiveness isn’t as strong as Bai Junze’s... I prefer her stage... She’s the only performer who makes both my eyes and ears delighted!"

"....."

The audience excitedly shared their thoughts, many still gazing at Bai Xi with enchanted eyes.

At the commentary booth, the two commentators were also deeply moved.

Fengye crossed his arms, smiling,

"Every time I see Teacher Bai Xi, I’m so captivated I forget to speak... Honestly, Teacher Bai Xi’s music might not be the most powerful, but it’s definitely the most charming!"

"Yes, just like Gan Yanyu and Nannali, they all hail from the Qingjiang cellists."

Zhu Ye agreed,

"It seems that anything from Qingjiang is of the highest quality."

"I originally thought the championship contention would not involve Teacher Bai Xi, but now... it’s truly uncertain!"

...

Bai Xi finished bowing and stood up.

Facing the enthusiasm of the audience, the corner of the girl’s mouth subconsciously lifted....

Did you see that... Mr. Lin Tian.

Even without your help, I can still play such music.

Can you see, the charm that belongs to me...?

"....."

Bai Xi walked offstage.

Around a corner, she saw a figure squatting by the wall.

"Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

Bai Xi asked in confusion.

Suddenly, she sensed that the aura from the girl in front of her seemed off.

"What’s wrong?"

Bai Xi bent down and only then discovered that Gan Yanyu looked expressionless, and her eyes... seemed to have lost their sparkle.

"You....."

Bai Xi opened her mouth in surprise, hesitating to speak further.

Then she glanced around and noticed something extremely amiss,

"Where’s Lin Tian? Where did Lin Tian go?!"

"I don’t know." Gan Yanyu whispered.

"Such an important competition, and he didn’t show up??!"

Bai Xi found it hard to believe,

"What about the phone? Did you call him?"

"Mr. He Zhichen is calling."

"It’s time for you to go on stage now."

Bai Xi was scratching her head, anxiously pacing back and forth,

"What to do, what to do??"

"Are you going to perform by yourself?!"

Bai Xi knew too well that right now, it wasn’t just about finding a new accompaniment.

Gan Yanyu and Lin Tian... those two could not be separated at all!

Without either of them, this performance is impossible to complete!

.....

"Teacher Gan Yanyu, it’s your turn."

At this time, the host hurriedly came over, urging Gan Yanyu.

"She can’t go on right now! Let the next contestant perform first..."

Bai Xi quickly said before Gan Yanyu,

"I... this isn’t right..."

The host obviously hadn’t expected this turn of events,

"Isn’t Teacher Gan Yanyu just fine here? Why can’t she go up?"

"She...."

Bai Xi was just about to argue, but behind her, Gan Yanyu had already stood up.

In Bai Xi’s surprised gaze.

She silently walked towards the stage.

.....

"Oh oh oh... finally, it’s time for our teacher Gan Yanyu to take the stage!"

Seeing Gan Yanyu and others taking the stage, commentator Fengye said excitedly.

"It’s been a long wait!" Zhu Ye said.

Under the watchful eyes of all the audience, Gan Yanyu walked to the center of the stage.

At this moment, the audience gradually realized something was wrong.

— After waiting for so long, the other figure they were expecting never appeared.

"Where is Mr. Lin Tian?"

The two who always appeared together and never alone.

Today, there was unexpectedly only one person on stage.
