CHAPTER 678: CHAPTER 428: FIRST ENTRY INTO THE GOLDEN HALL

January 12th.

The first stage of the world "Keller Cup" cello competition in the Music Capital, Vienna, officially begins.

On this day, inside and outside the Golden Hall, the crowd was bustling, and journalists from all over gathered.

...

Early in the morning,

Lin Tian’s hotel room door was knocked.

After he climbed out of bed with sleepy eyes to open the door, Lin Tian’s pupils suddenly widened—

The elegant black off-shoulder dress outlined a figure that was extremely graceful yet carried a touch of pure desire, with ink-like black curls cascading over her shoulders, and delicate makeup resembling that of a well-bred European noble lady.

"Who are you, beautiful?"

Lin Tian almost couldn’t believe his eyes as he asked.

The demure young girl in front of him "broke character" in an instant.

Gan Yanyu quickly covered her slightly flushed face and asked softly,

"How... how is it?"

"When did you curl your hair?"

Lin Tian immediately paid attention to Gan Yanyu’s curls.

"I curled it myself with a curling iron."

"That’s good." Lin Tian internally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

As long as it’s not permanent!

"What do you mean?"

Gan Yanyu’s expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

After all, it was her boyfriend’s obvious look of disdain for the style she had spent all morning working on.

"Don’t you like it?"

"I do!"

Lin Tian immediately responded seriously.

The moment of fear just now was because he really liked Gan Yanyu’s usual slightly wavy long black hair, as such a Gan Yanyu has a cooler and purer school flower vibe.

Upon seeing Gan Yanyu’s curls, he was worried she had her hair permanently curled at a salon, which Lin Tian couldn’t tolerate!

But since she hasn’t,

as long as it’s not permanent, Lin Tian doesn’t mind occasionally seeing Gan Yanyu change her style.

Just like,

Momonoki Kanami occasionally taking on roles as a wife, Lin Tian likes that and expresses his fondness enthusiastically.

However, if Teacher Taozi were to only play wives in the future, Lin Tian would be quite sad. In his heart, even though Teacher Taozi is in her thirties and has starred in countless films, he hopes she portrays a pure young girl for life.

"Do you really like it?"

Gan Yanyu asked Lin Tian once more with lack of confidence.

"Really."

Lin Tian answered seriously.

Taking another look at Gan Yanyu, he felt increasingly thrilled.

Mature!

So mature!

This skin of Gan is truly rare.

"That’s good then."

Gan Yanyu felt relieved,

"You, you should quickly get ready too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian realized why Gan Yanyu came to wake him up so early and dressed so beautifully.

"Hold on, aren’t we the audience today?"

Lin Tian realized.

He knew today they were going to the Keller Cup venue, but the main goal was to help Gan Yanyu build confidence.

They weren’t competing!

Gan was actually asking him to dress up.

Lin Tian was a bit confused by this.

Others are playing in qualifiers, but you’re here dressed up flamboyantly...

"Is it necessary?" Lin Tian actually wanted to sleep a bit longer.

"It’s our first time going to the Golden Hall."

Gan Yanyu said anxiously,

"Of course, we need to be formal!"

As she spoke,

seeing Lin Tian unmoved, Gan Yanyu grabbed his hand, swaying back and forth:

"Dress with me... Dress with your girlfriend..."

Gan Yanyu widened her clear and bright eyes, her face pleading,

"We need to take pictures together, lots and lots of pictures... Please your girlfriend..."

Oh my.

Seeing Gan Yanyu with this mature outfit today, with her extraordinarily beautiful noble lady face, holding his hand and acting cute.

Lin Tian instantly couldn’t resist.

Especially when she said "girlfriend" repeatedly.

Where did this girl learn this?!

This roundabout cute wife rhetoric for Lin Tian was simply...

Incredibly effective.

"Wait here."

Lin Tian said,

"Your boyfriend will quickly find the suit!"

...

...

Golden Hall, formally known as the Vienna Music Association Golden Hall.

Regarded as a holy land by all musicians, it is somewhat akin to Tokyo Dome for Japanese idols, or the Golden Footprint for Qidian authors—being in the industry, it’s a place you must visit in your lifetime.

When Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu arrived at the venue, a considerable crowd had already gathered outside the main entrance.

Judging by their attire, in addition to media reporters, there were celebrities from various fields, local music community members, other contestants, and so on.

The lively scene included reporters giving explanations, media broadcasting live, and laughing and chatting musicians.

When Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu appeared at the scene.

They simply walked over and instantly attracted the attention of many.

A handsome young man, with an Asia beauty on his arm whose presence made one’s heart skip.

With a youthful look appearing to be less than 20 years old, they sharply contrasted with everyone around.

Clearly carrying a cello on her back, yet unknown to anyone.

This immediately sparked the curiosity of many.

Numerous celebrities and reporters whispered, frequently casting glances and speculating about the identity of the pair.

Lin Tian enjoyed such attention, but Gan Yanyu likely wouldn’t be as fond of it.

Lin turned his head to check Gan Yanyu’s state, only to find that she was indifferent to the gazes around her, seemingly oblivious, as she caught sight of the main entrance and quickly let go of Lin Tian’s hand, speeding up her pace excitedly.

——All she sees is the Golden Hall.

Lin Tian grinned helplessly, this girl really, in such a perfect atmosphere, couldn’t she maintain her poise?

In an instant, people could tell the beautiful sister is actually playful.

"Hurry up, Lin Tian!!"

Gan Yanyu turned joyfully and waved at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian quickened his pace, then, along with Gan Yanyu, ascended the steps.

Lifting his head—

The yellow and red brick building seen countless times in photographs was now molten into flowing gold by the midday sun. The grapevine sculptures entwining the bronze door rings seemed to come alive, with dew rolling on leaves secreted from Venice crystals forged four hundred years ago.

So beautiful.

Indeed, it’s the Golden Hall.

Even more magnificent than the Qingtian Music Hall, or the Baijing International Music Hall.

Entering the foyer.

At this moment, many people were gathered here as well.

The sound particle waves suspended between eight gilded pillars crashed forward with the lingering reverberation of a Steinway piano as you stepped into the space.

Almost upon entering, the atmosphere felt different.

The foundation of several hundred years of music, at this moment, made Lin Tian perceive it clearer than ever.

This aura,

truly differentiates the Golden Hall from a bathhouse beneath its splendid decorations.

Even if a bathhouse made its lobby like a palace, there’s still a noticeable gap between a place for foot washing and an art hall.

Upon reaching the main hall entrance, Gan Yanyu excitedly disappeared into the crowd, probably off to take photos of the wall artwork.

Lin Tian was in no rush, in such a location, safety wouldn’t be an issue.

Continuing to walk alone inside, at this moment, a voice reached his ear:

"Mr. Lin Tian!"

A familiar voice with a hint of Colonel style Chinese.

Lin Tian turned his head, and sure enough, Nishikawa Yuubei was waving from afar and quickly approaching,

"It really is you, Mr. Lin Tian!"
