CHAPTER 634: CHAPTER 407: RESPOND WITH A LIVE BROADCAST! _2

If taking the college entrance examination is a wrong path.

This statement seems to be more effective for Gan Yanyu, right?!

"But Yu’er... is different. She wants to attend the Music University." Gan Hua said seriously.

"By coincidence, I want to accompany your Yu’er to the Music University." Lin Tian said.

"..."

As Gan Hua and Lin Tian’s banter intensified, each sentence involving herself, Gan Yanyu, who wanted to mediate but didn’t know how to start, was already flustered and at a loss.

On one side is my grandfather, and on the other is Lin Tian!

In such a situation, no matter what is said, it’s probably not good!

Gan Yanyu could only watch the two from the side, doing nothing.

"You didn’t even know her back then, did you?" Gan Hua was provoked by Lin Tian, and sarcasm rose, "How can you blame Yu’er for that?"

"That’s why I was aimless back then."

Lin Tian said, suddenly feeling himself being led into a trap by the old man.

No, that’s not right!

This old man actually said I secretly played the piano without telling him.

Even if I really played for two years without letting him know.

Then what does Sir Gan consider himself??

"You said I hid it from you for so long, but what about you? Sixteen years without performing, I thought you could only make hand-brewed coffee!" Lin Tian said.

As soon as this sentence came out.

In an instant,

The originally bustling music classroom quieted down.

Gan Hua did not retaliate as Lin Tian expected, but his face gradually turned dark, and he lowered his head.

He fell into a silent moment.

"....."

Lin Tian was choked.

Did I say something I shouldn’t have?

In Lin Tian’s memories, Sir Gan has never shown such an expression.

He was always hearty, laughing heartily, although over fifty, he could always joke around with the eighteen-year-old Lin Tian.

It wasn’t until meeting Gan Yanyu that Lin Tian realized, Sir Gan used to be a cellist but hadn’t touched the cello for sixteen years...

Lin Tian knew quite a bit about Sir Gan’s story.

However, those were all learned from other people’s perspectives.

From Sir Gan’s own perspective, his story...

While Lin Tian was still pondering, Sir Gan tapped the armrest of the wheelchair,

"Anyway, your ensemble sounds pretty much fine to me, more than capable of participating in a world competition."

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu exchanged a happy glance.

For Gan Yanyu, receiving her grandfather’s approval after such a long time was exhilarating.

And for Lin Tian, gaining recognition from a senior like Gan Hua was quite valuable.

"But..."

Before the two young folks could finish celebrating, Gan Hua changed his tone,

"The world competition isn’t like domestic ones."

"To achieve fame worldwide with classical music, you lack something very important."

"From what I see, even though you’ve played many classical music pieces before, you still haven’t grasped this thing..."

"What is it?" Gan Yanyu couldn’t bear it any longer and asked.

No matter how she tried to recall her grandfather’s past teachings, she couldn’t figure out what she lacked.

"I’ll tell you after you perform ’Ode to Love’."

Gan Hua said,

"Don’t you still need to give everyone an explanation?"

"Go on."

...

...

On the fifth day after the Dragon Violin Cup ended.

At 14:00 in the afternoon.

The official Weibo account of Moonlight and Cat Studio was updated with a post.

Amid the overwhelming public opinion after the match, this was the first response from Moonlight and Cat since the competition ended!

When countless netizens, filled with either anger or excitement, flooded to the official Weibo,

They only saw a brief post.

—— See you in the live stream at 20:00 tonight, giving music lovers an explanation.

.....

This post was like a deep-sea bomb.

It fully detonated the massive entity lurking in the depths of the already subdued Dragon Violin Cup.

Suddenly, everyone found a vent for their emotions.

[So you finally responded? I thought you were already dead!]

[Damn, you still remember us music lovers? I thought you didn’t care how we felt!]

[Don’t listen to them, Mr. Moonlight, Miss Cat... I believe in you. As long as you explain well, everything will be okay.]

[Five whole days! Now you know to start a live stream?! Where were you before??]

[Really heartbroken, I’ve been watching since the preliminaries for this competition. Finally saw you make it to the finals, and then you just withdrew without a word?! Not even an explanation!]

[As a longtime fan, I really got hurt this time!]

[...]

In the comment section,

Some were angrily accusing, some were understanding and sympathetic, some were deeply saddened.....

Regarding Gan Yanyu’s withdrawal from the competition, it wasn’t only Moonlight and Cat themselves.

The large number of music lovers were equally deeply hurt.

Meanwhile,

Although everyone vented their emotions ruthlessly in the comments,

In their hearts, they hoped to see a response from Moonlight and Cat.

Whether it was anger, confusion, or misunderstanding, regardless of how passionately they typed in the comments.

In the end, they all fixed their attention on the time—

20:00.

In the evening,

A well-known streamer on Bilibili, another long-silent person—Zhang Dong.

Opened his live stream.

This change shocked many netizens.

To know, ever since Gan Yanyu withdrew from the Dragon Violin Cup, Mr. Dong had been in a slump.

Not only did he stop streaming, he didn’t even post anything regarding the highly anticipated finals.

Only then did people realize,

Zhang Dong was never riding the "Moonlight and Cat" hype.

He truly liked them.

Truly sad people, find it hard to speak.

As soon as the live stream started, netizens poured in.

At the first glance, everyone was shocked.

Disheveled hair, unshaved beard for ages, unfocused eyes, loose and worn vest.

There were even a few strands of white hair on his head!

"Good evening, everyone."

Zhang Dong greeted weakly.

The barrage was flooded with concern:

[Damn, did you get hooked?!]

[Have you been grinding for five days straight?]

[Bro, not necessary, really not necessary! Moonlight and Cat aren’t dead yet!]

[They’re about to start a live stream to respond, that’s a good thing!]

.....

Netizens worried Zhang Dong might collapse right on their phone screens, sending fearful messages on the barrage.

However, Zhang Dong just lifted his head, bitterly smiled,

"Guys, don’t you understand yet? Why Moonlight and Miss Cat are using a live stream to respond instead of immediately issuing a public apology?"

[Why??]

[Maybe it’s more sincere this way?]

Netizens speculated.

"Don’t you get it? Do you think Moonlight and Cat would make such a decision to withdraw from the competition? Making such a decision is already absurd enough. Now, after five days, they choose to respond via live stream."

"This indicates that their response can no longer be resolved with a few words of public relations, it resembles more a press conference....."

Zhang Dong held his head, displaying an expression of despair, at that moment, his brain was trembling,

"There’s only one possibility... they’re about to announce their retirement."

For Moonlight and Cat, competitions always came before releasing albums.

They forfeited the most important competition, leaving their future for years uncertain.

And now, announcing a response in the format similar to a press conference via live stream...

This... is just a prelude to announcing retirement?

Upon hearing this,

All viewers thought about it... it seemed to be true!

Suddenly, everyone was scared,

[Ret...retirement?? Moonlight and Cat??]

[No way! Damn it! What will I do if they retire??]

[Damn it, trying to run away after messing with everyone?! No running!!]

[Boo hoo hoo... medicine! Don’t scare me, are they really going to retire from the scene?!]

Quickly,

The netizens in Zhang Dong’s live stream emitted a series of ghostly cries.

Just then,

A message popped up at the bottom right corner of Zhang Dong’s computer:

——The [Moonlight and Cat] you followed has started a live stream!
