Chapter 257 Official Welcome Banquet

2025 Sakikuni International Piano Competition, Tokyo.

Before the game, there is the official welcome party day.

Early that morning, Lin Tian stood in front of the mirror, combed his hair into an adult style, and put on a handsome suit.

Gan Yanyu personally helped Lin Tian give him a new hairstyle.

"alright."

After helping Lin Tian fix his makeup with setting spray, Gan Yanyu clasped her hands together, stood behind Lin Tian, ​​and looked at Lin Tian in the mirror.

A clean suit and a 3:7 hairstyle.

Paired with Lin Tian’s youthful face.

"Idol Producer."

Commented by Gan Yanyu.

"Forget about this."

Lin Tian was ashamed.

In his world, this title is not really a compliment on someone's handsomeness.

Maybe this is a feeling that girls would like.

But when a man hears someone say that he looks like a trainee, he will become a little anxious.

Generally speaking, "Eddie Peng XX points Yan" is a compliment that is generally recognized by men.

"Are you going like this today?"

After adjusting his collar, Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu.

Compared to Lin Tian’s formal attire.

Gan Yanyu was dressed very casually.

A floral dress paired with a knitted jacket.

Very casual.

Today Gan Yanyu will attend the welcome party with Lin Tian as "family members".

So when Lin Tian saw Gan Yanyu dressed like this, he was a little surprised.

In the past, when attending such occasions, Gan Yanyu was dressed very exquisitely. The cello goddess is no joke.

"Today is your home court, Lin Tian. It would be inappropriate for me to dress too conspicuously." Gan Yanyu said.

I won’t talk about previous cello competitions.

This is the first competition in which Lin Tian is truly the protagonist.

There is a saying that goes like this:

Qiuya is getting married, and you are here singing and dancing! Gan Yanyu had never heard this sentence before, but she understood the basic principle. After thinking about it, she chose a more casual outfit.

Lin Tian has been her supporting role many times.

This time, Gan Yanyu will do his best to fulfill his duties as the captain of the cheering group!

"All right."

Lin Tian held back the second half of the sentence and did not say it out loud.

What Gan Yanyu didn't get was——

The more beautifully she dresses, the more face Lin Tian will have!

Isn't this kind of exchange an occasion for musicians to "inadvertently" show their lives? However, it doesn't mean that Gan Yanyu doesn't look good in this outfit.

It’s just that she has changed from the “goddess” mode to a more “virtuous” mode.

Wait.

Lin Tian turned his head and stared at Gan Yanyu.

"what.?"

Gan Yanyu was a little flustered for a moment and hugged her shoulders, her soft long hair scattered on her shoulders wrapped in a knitted sweater.

"fine."

That's the taste.

The feeling of a newlywed wife.

Lin Tian agreed.

Goddess Gan Yanyu, who usually appears elegant and refined in front of the camera, is now willing to become a housewife with the daily necessities of life for Lin Tian. However, such simple clothing still cannot conceal the girl's stunning beauty. Thinking about it this way, it's pretty good.

"Okay, Teacher He Zhichen is already waiting for us downstairs."

Although she didn't know what Lin Tian was thinking, Gan Yanyu still felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so she patted Lin Tian's shoulder.

"Let's go, our great pianist Mr. Lin."

Hengshan Hotel.

A famous Michelin Chinese restaurant in Tokyo.

Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu got out of the car.

Luxury cars gather here and celebrities come and go.

Faces of different skin colors and nationalities gathered at the entrance of the hotel.

In addition to some extraordinary musicians who were obviously participating in the competition, there were also staff from the organizer and some media reporters from all over the world.

Official reception at the entrance.

Lin Tian walked forward and showed his ID to the staff.

The person in charge of reception was a Japanese lady. She looked at the documents handed over by Lin Tian and was a little confused. She did not choose to take it. Instead, she looked up at Lin Tian and then at Gan Yanyu.

"Wrong way?"

Lin Tian felt a little unconfident. There was indeed a logo of the Sakikana International Piano Competition at the door.

“.”

Next to the lady, another receptionist saw this scene and leaned over. The two of them were whispering in Japanese, and it was unknown what they were talking about.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then the lady raised her head and asked uncertainly:

“Are you one of the participants?”

"Yes."

As soon as Lin Tian opened his mouth, the two staff members were shocked.

"うわあ、如い人だなあ (Oh my god, what a young player)"

My hometown dialect came out.

“(This is so scary, is this the pianist from the mainland?)”

"(A few years younger than me)"

"(And he's so handsome. He can definitely make a living with his looks.)"

Perhaps they thought Lin Tian didn't understand Japanese, so the two of them communicated openly.

Helped Lin Tian complete the sign-in.

Then, he stood up, bent down and handed a handbag to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian opened the handbag and took a look. Inside were greeting cards, entry certificates, schedules, competition manuals, information packages and other things.

"ありがとうございます(Arigado)"

Lin Tian smiled.

The two ladies' expressions froze in embarrassment.

Afterwards, we came to the banquet hall on the third floor.

After showing their entry certificates at the door, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu were allowed to enter.

It was so easy that Lin Tian didn't expect it.

Isn’t it said that there is strict control over “family members”?

Fortunately, Lin Tian spent a long time thinking about how to let Gan Yanyu pretend to have become his official fiancée.

Walk into the venue.

At a glance, more than a dozen tables were already filled with dishes.

Pianists from various countries who have arrived are now happily chatting with each other.

He Zhichen is right. Although it is an international competition, like the Parrot Cup and Star Cup in China, it is still a relatively young event.

They are basically young men around 30 years old. The older ones look like they have just become dads not long ago.

However, when Lin Tian, ​​the 18-year-old boy, stood inside, he still seemed a little out of place.

“Wow, Dorayaki!”

Gan Yanyu screamed and leaned towards the table next to her. "I've been wanting to eat this since I came to Japan. I didn't expect it to be available here."

Lin Tian grabbed Gan Yanyu by the back of her collar and said, "Don't be unable to walk just because you see desserts!"

Although Lin Tian didn't care much about his image, it would be too embarrassing if he was photographed staring at the pastries at a banquet of this level!

"Dorayaki, do you know Dorayaki? It's the one Doraemon eats."

Gan Yanyu described it to Lin Tian vividly.

Just at this moment.

"Teacher Lin Tian!"

A hearty shout was heard from a distance.

This cry attracted a group of people around.

"Teacher Yao Han?"

Lin Tian looked at the person who came with some surprise.

Yao Han, wearing a suit, opened his arms towards Lin Tian and walked towards him.
