CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 418: HOW DID THEY GET TOGETHER?_2

He looked at the album cover of "Moonlight: C Major Prelude" on the table.

Yeah, in the end, the so-called "joy after being together" and "sweet campus time" are all just fantasies of the fans.

Very likely,

during this period, Mr. Moonlight and Cat themselves never immersed for even a second in such happiness.

Starting from when Mr. Moonlight was discharged from the hospital after the Dragon Violin Cup ended.

They might not have had a single day of rest. They’ve long been completely devoted to training for the world competition.

So, Zhang Dong had to retract an earlier thought of his.

This time, Mr. Moonlight really might not be deliberately tormenting everyone.

Isn’t it possible that

during this period, they’ve been so busy that they might not even have had time to get online, and they’re unaware of the discussions about them on Weibo.....

To them, this piece of music was just a way to maintain their touch and make a commitment to the world competition!

That’s all!

Facing the camera,

Zhang Dong, as a top music commentator, gave his final analysis:

"Moonlight and Cat will never stop for anything!"

"Their goal is only the championship!"

.....

Yao Han walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the starry sky, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled.

Behind him, the speaker continued to play "C Major Prelude" in a loop.

Then, Yao Han stubbed out the cigarette in the flowerpot nearby.

He shouted fiercely:

"Damn it, Lin Tian, bring back that damn trophy for me!!"

...

...

Weekend.

"Send-off ceremony?"

In the restaurant,

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu sitting opposite each other simultaneously expressed their confusion.

"Yes."

He Zhichen nodded,

"It’s a tradition. Every participant in each Keller Cup has this kind of send-off ceremony, and Teacher Gan Yanyu is no exception."

"Will Nannali participate too?" Gan Yanyu asked.

"She had to return to the UK due to family matters, and already took the poster photo in advance, so she won’t be attending the send-off ceremony."

"Family matters huh."

Lin Tian recalled when Nannali’s mother came to watch her competition live.

He wondered how things were between Nannali and her family since then.

Even though during that performance, Nannali showed a resolute decision to completely break away from her family, Lin Tian believed Nannali had the courage to do so.

But, given how influential her musical family was, could Nannali really shed her family’s influence so easily?

Hard to say.

In fact,

since the Dragon Violin Cup, Lin Tian’s attitude towards Nannali changed subtly.

Before, Lin Tian just saw Nannali as a kid, and not a well-behaved one at that.

His attitude was always, "You can die, but don’t splash blood on my Gan."

But after seeing that "rebellious" themed performance in the semi-finals,

Lin Tian started to view Nannali differently.

Upon reflection, that kid did have a tough life, and if Lin Tian were in her position, he might not have done better.

Since then, Gan Yanyu quit the competition, and Nannali went on to win the Dragon Violin Cup,

forcibly earning Gan Yanyu a spot.

Though Lin Tian didn’t dare claim Nannali won that title for Gan Yanyu, the fact was, she did help them.

So now, Lin Tian couldn’t help but show a bit more concern for Nannali.

But that’s about it.

"What exactly does the send-off ceremony involve?" Lin Tian asked.

"It’s not that complicated. They call it a ceremony, but it’s more like a private gathering, which you’ll have to organize yourselves."

"We organize it??"

Lin Tian was shocked.

Organizing a send-off by themselves, then what’s the point of the association?

"That’s why it’s an unwritten rule."

He Zhichen adjusted his glasses,

"Book a big hotel, reserve a hall, invite some of your musician friends over for a meal, and notify the media and the association...someone will come over to take your photos for a poster."

"Essentially it’s just a publicity event, a chance for the media to collect materials..."

"Sounds a bit troublesome." Lin Tian complained.

But on second thought,

even if there wasn’t this unwritten "send-off ceremony,"

it seemed normal for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu to have a meal with friends before departing.

As for the poster shoot and publicity, they seemed more like incidental things.

"We’ll help you with those arrangements too, you just focus on practicing."

He Zhichen adjusted his glasses again, his chin up, looking confident.

After all, that’s what a manager does.

"Alright then."

Lin Tian stroked his chin, thought for a moment,

"Musician friends...who would they be?"

Lin Tian pondered. He and Gan Yanyu have always been quite solitary, mostly doing their own things alone.

Even if they had some musician acquaintances, most of them were not very close.

If Lin Tian were to do the inviting, he couldn’t think of many people to invite.....

"In any case, I’ll send out the invites, but who will actually come is uncertain." He Zhichen said,

"Besides, you can also invite your own friends, they don’t necessarily have to be from the music circle."

.....

Airport.

"Oi! Tian, sasshi buri!!"

As soon as he saw Lin Tian, Xu Yong immediately struck a very social pose and came over to put an arm around Lin Tian’s neck,

"Wuuu, damn you, I missed you!"

"If you missed your daddy’s embrace just say it." Lin Tian laughed and punched Xu Yong in the stomach, and Xu Yong immediately held his stomach and squatted down, groaning.

"Where is Little Gan, where is Little Gan??"

Immediately, Su Ran appeared from behind Xu Yong, and upon meeting, she immediately began searching around Lin Tian.

"She’s at the hotel, waiting for you two to eat."

Lin Tian said.

"Oh, oh, oh, pampering your little girlfriend, letting her rest at the hotel while you come to pick us up"

Su Ran immediately grinned mischievously.

Then she squinted her eyes, like a ghost, she instantly moved behind Lin Tian,

"How did you get together, how did you get together, how did you get together..."

Su Ran whispered like a female ghost, scaring Lin Tian a bit, prompting him to quickly dodge to the side.

This girl, even after starting college, still had her mind full of romance stuff like before.

.....

It was already December, and many universities had started to take their holidays one after another.

Having not met Xu Yong and Su Ran for some time, and given that recently, Gan Yanyu had been under a lot of pressure due to the upcoming showdown with Mr. Tuoba,

This seemed like a good chance to call these two over, catch up, talk about high school days, and help Mr. Gan relax a bit.

.....

"Is there nothing else you want to inquire about after so long?" Lin Tian asked Su Ran helplessly.

"Nope, who told you two that I witnessed everything from the beginning!" Su Ran pouted a little proudly.

Back in Qingzhou, Su Ran worried herself sick over their relationship.

After all the fuss, all she got was a result of "getting married after the competition," which left her very unsatisfied!

Then, she suddenly saw news online about them being together, which made her extremely happy, and she messaged Little Gan for details.

"How come you two are together now? Aren’t you participating in the world competition?"

"If you’re together now, does the wedding promise still count?"

"Of course, it counts! Dating and marriage are two different things! Marriage is about having babies!"

"..."

Su Ran kept asking, but unfortunately, Little Gan was too shy to say anything.

This made Su Ran really anxious!

So, upon receiving Lin Tian’s invitation, she quickly flew to Baijing.

"Let’s talk more over the meal."

Lin Tian didn’t want to argue over this topic at the airport and said,

"I’ll tell you whatever you want to know later."

"Okay!"

Su Ran happily raised her hands,

"The college entrance exam foursome reunites!"
