With such clear and powerful movements, it appeared on the big screen in the Golden Hall.
"Nice!!" Connor waved his arms and roared.
Then, deafening applause, cheers, and whistles swept in like a tsunami!
The sound waves almost blew off the roof of the Golden Hall! The flash lights turned into an endless day!
Golden confetti sprayed out from the ceiling again, like golden rain of blessings, falling on the center of the stage.
It fell on the kneeling knight and the princess whom he had once risked his life to save and whom he would accompany for the rest of his life.
In the center of boiling sound and dazzling light.
Lin Tian stood up, took a step forward, and tightly embraced Gan Yanyu, who was still nodding with tears and trembling body, in his arms! He hugged her so tightly, as if he was afraid that Gan Yanyu would turn into a wisp of green smoke and dissipate at any time.
Gan Yanyu hugged him back tightly, buried her face in his strong shoulders, and burst into tears. In her tears were the fear, grievance, love and ecstasy that had been pent up for too long about the future, about the Cole Cup, about not knowing when she might die at any time, which had been suppressed for too long. The dust has finally settled.
The boy hugged her trembling body tightly with one hand and held the open ring box tightly with the other hand.
He lowered his head and buried his face in her hair that smelled of pine and tears, his shoulders shaking slightly.
He succeeded!
At this moment, Lin Tian, who had been without family since childhood and had experienced everything alone, had never felt that there was such a reassuring and warm embrace beside him.
The ring that He Zhichen had sent to her temporarily was lying quietly in the velvet box.
Bathed in the spotlights and golden confetti rain, witness the most moving finale written with life and courage on the top stage of world music.
This scene was recorded by the cameramen on the scene.
In the live broadcast room, Zhang Dong's eyes were already filled with tears.
In the underground parking lot, He Zhichen and Gao Zhenyang hugged each other and cried.
Off the stage, Nanali stared at Gan Yanyu blankly. She had never seen such a gentle and happy smile on Gan Yanyu's face.
Tianchao University of Music, by the lake.
Gan Hua walked in front with his hands behind his back. He looked up and gazed at the stars that were casting their light into the night sky by the lake. The surroundings were quiet and beautiful.
The moment he turned around and looked at Tuoba Jianhui.
The two old men looked at each other, and the most excitement in their eyes seemed to have passed, and what was left now was confusion and an unknown melancholy.
Gan Hua knows.
For Tuoba Jianhui.
Where does this feeling of "confusion" come from?
20 years.
Gan Hua at least opened his own coffee shop to constantly divert his attention.
And this old man has always been standing still, stuck in the past.
Now, that day has finally arrived.
Due to huge inertia.
Tuoba Jianhui's first feeling was a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness.
It’s like a person who has been in prison for 20 years is suddenly released from the cage. On the first day of light, he doesn’t even know where to go.
"Old Captain——"
Gan Hua called out to Tuoba Jianhui.
Then, he stood by the river and grinned, "I suddenly realized that you have become so old."
"Oh!"
Tuoba Jianhui sneered in response, "Boy, you are the same."
"An old man should look like an old man."
Gan Hua suddenly slowed down his speech and said calmly, "It's time to move forward."
Tuoba Jianhui was stunned.
After a while, he walked forward to where Gan Hua was standing shoulder to shoulder, and also raised his head and looked at the night sky.
"yes."
"Maybe, I, an old man, still have 20 years to live."
Tuoba Jianhui turned his head, looked at Gan Hua, and said with a smile, "It's time to leave."
February 14, 2026.
In Vienna's Golden Hall, thousands of spectators witnessed the proposal ceremony of this year's champion, the newly crowned world's number one cellist, Ms. Gan Yanyu, and her partner, Lin Tian, the well-deserved god of contemporary classical composers.
This scene, which was destined to go down in the history of world music, was also reported on the front pages of almost all the media present at the scene after it ended.
Not only music media, but also Austrian national media, China's People's Daily, Tokyo National News, etc., have reposted it.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, the love story of two legendary musicians.
Within one night, it became a hot topic among music fans all over the world.
Everyone was talking about the story of these two 19-year-old boys and girls, and more and more explosive news was constantly dug up by the media and paparazzi.
The story begins with Lin Tian’s legendary journey of living alone since he was 15 years old.
Talking about how he worked part-time in a restaurant to pay for his tuition.
Talking about his first meeting with cellist Gan Yanyu on the rooftop.
He talked about how he went around borrowing a piano in order to record his own creations.
The gears of fate are turning quietly. As netizens from all over the world continued to dig deeper into these stories, they discovered.
It took only a year and a half for the two of them to start their legendary journey from "shooting a Tik Tok video" to becoming a world-famous musician group! But was it a smooth journey for them in this year and a half?
It seems otherwise.
At the Star Cup, Gan Yanyu, who returned to the competition, almost collapsed on the stage several times due to illness. It was Lin Tian who constantly trained Gan Yanyu for rehabilitation, and finally helped the girl to overcome her past self and stand on the stage bravely. Although she only won the runner-up in the end, it was the starting point of Gan Yanyu's real killing road.
At the Yingqin Cup, they met Tuoba Jianhui, a conductor from the Celestial Empire who came from Baijing just to kill them in the cradle. The huge storm of public opinion almost swallowed them up. It was Lin Tian who had full trust in Gan Yanyu and relied on the perfect cooperation between the two to break through the siege with the famous song "Canon in D Major" that later resounded throughout the world, proving their strength to the Celestial Empire music circle.
In the Longqin Cup, facing the two aggressive geniuses Bai Junze and Mao Weiang, these two are said to be unprecedented strong opponents. If they were in a different era, perhaps they could have written a legend of their own in the Kerr Cup.
It was under such tremendous pressure that "Moonlight", an abstract masterpiece that pioneered the "Lin Tian-style Impressionism", forced the Chinese Music Association to not even have the courage to eliminate the singer. Fearing that they would be nailed to the pillar of historical shame, they could only let the singer enter the finals.
Afterwards, they even united Bai Junze and Mao Weiang, and led all music fans in China to complete a great reconciliation between "classical" and "popular", creating a good story for the young generation of musicians in China.
But after that, she still encountered a life-and-death situation. For Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu would rather give up everything she had always insisted on and resolutely chose to withdraw from the competition, shocking the entire Chinese music industry.
In the end, it was in such a desperate situation that all the classical music works they had created and published came into play. Vienna took notice of this classical music duo from China and their Moonlight and Cats series of albums that dominated the world music sales charts.
The "shooting short videos" and "releasing albums" activities that seemed to be "unproductive" and were mainly carried out for the purpose of making money, but at this time, they became an important bargaining chip for their comeback - they were invited to participate in the Kerr Cup as an exception.
The world-renowned Kerr Cup legend was born.
Take a look at the journey of Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, the two musicians who formed a team.
It is said to be a miracle of "one and a half years", but upon closer inspection, it was full of difficulties. On the surface, this "genius combination" that amazed the world was not "satisfactory" at all, and no link was easy to overcome.
So, what has kept them going till now?
Miss Gan Yanyu's devilish cello talent?
Teacher Lin Tian’s unfathomable ability in music creation?
These all seem to be very important.
But this did not prevent them from facing many difficulties even with such abilities, and they almost ruined their future several times.
There must be something, something beyond their two abilities, that can come out to "cover" them at the critical moment, allowing them to create miracles even in the most desperate moments. What is it?
As experts and scholars from the International Music Association racked their brains and tried their best to find the answer to this legendary musician duo.
finally,
When they re-watched the finals video, they seemed to have found the "answer".
This answer should have been thought of earlier. It was also an important opportunity for Isaac Maker, a great cellist of his generation, to lose miserably, and even to collapse and withdraw from music competitions.
It is in Chapter 11 of Requiem.
The guiding power emitted by Lin Tian's piano pulled Gan Yanyu back from the brink of losing control. The two of them trusted each other 100%, and their souls became connected.
This is the love between the two.
Gan Yanyu's acceptance speech was not the product of selfishness or ulterior motives. She was truly sharing the secret of her success in music with the whole world!
But many people didn’t understand it at that time.
She and Lin Tian told everyone the secret of their musical success.
That is, love with Lin Tian! Many experts found it hard to accept this conclusion.
Even felt an absurd sense of being offended.
——"Love"? Because of love, any difficulty can be overcome, any danger can be defeated? Is this a fairy tale? !
——"It's ridiculous! Music is a rigorous art, a crystallization of technique, structure, historical accumulation and profound thought! How can such a complex and noble achievement be reduced to such... such a personal, even primitive emotional drive?"
——"Gan Yanyu's acceptance speech was clearly a result of emotional incompetence! She was carrying her own agenda! She put her personal feelings above those of art! Lin Tian's proposal at the end was even more sensational, ruining the solemnity of the award ceremony! They were blaspheming the seriousness of the title of 'World's No. 1'!"
Arguments broke out in the conference room, coffee cups were pushed aside in annoyance, and printed music analysis was thrown aside.
They are used to dissecting music with reason, measuring talent with data, and judging value with school inheritance! The variable of "love" is too vague, too uncontrollable, and too "un-academic"?! It is like the fairy tales that my mother told me before bedtime when I was a child, beautiful but illusory, and it is OK to coax children, but in the hall of serious music research, how can it be the "answer" to support the "one and a half year miracle" and defeat the rational tower like Isaac Maker?
How can this convince future musicians? ! However, when they once again looked at the video of the finals with a strong sense of discomfort and even a hint of contempt.
Especially when focusing on the oft-repeated, decisive moment in Chapter 11 of the Requiem, they saw and heard that it was more than just "love".
That is the musicalized symbiotic will.
Music is such a magical art.
It is both a rational structure and a torrent of emotions.
It is both an individual expression and a bridge of souls.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s “one and a half year miracle”, as well as the final chapter of “Requiem” that shocked the world, are the most extreme manifestations of this wonderful essence.
When two souls achieve the deepest resonance and symbiosis in music and are willing to burn to the limit for each other, they can create an echo that transcends all calculations, all expectations, and even all suffering!
Isaac's collapse was not due to his opponent, but to the majestic vitality in his music that came from deep emotions and could not be accommodated by his own ideas.
And this is exactly the most real and precious "answer" that Gan Yanyu is trying to tell the world.
In the end, everyone compromised.
Ordinary people may not be able to replicate such love.
For Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, this world is their fairy tale.
"Why is there no mention of me in your autobiography?"
In the restaurant, Xu Yong kept browsing the hotly discussed "The Story of Moonlight and the Cat" on the Internet, and said in a sour and unwilling voice, "What about the story of us working together? And what about us reviewing for the college entrance examination together?!"
Xu Yong shouted in dissatisfaction,
"These media outlets are no good! They ignored someone as important as me!"
"Maybe you have nothing to do with our music career."
Lin Tian drank the orange juice on the table, raised his head and said with a smile.
"Hey, just keep talking, don't look up."
Xu Yong looked around the restaurant nervously, then immediately reached out and pulled down the brim of Lin Tian's cap.
"You have to know that you are a superstar now! Now when you go out, remember to put your hat on tightly to cover your face!"
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Yes! You don't know, ever since you came back from Vienna, my classmates at university are all shocked to know about our relationship. Do you know how many friend requests I receive on WeChat every day?"
Xu Yong looked at Lin Tian with a resentful look on his face, as if his university life had been destroyed by Lin Tian.
"Isn't it good? You can take this opportunity to add more girls, just don't use my name."
"That won't work. Ranran will be unhappy."
"Wait a minute"
Lin Tian seemed to have caught some key words, he frowned,
"slowly--?"
"Don't worry about that for now."
Xu Yong asked seriously, "Wedding. How are the wedding preparations going?"
"wedding.?"
Lin Tian suddenly felt a little dazed.
These two words are like a dream.
Dreamy, yet not quite real.
Everything in front of me.
Xu Yong, the table, the orange juice, and the paintings on the wall were all blurry.
The brain also began to go into a blank freeze.
When the camera refocused, everything around me had changed.
She was wearing a perfectly tailored black dress and holding a brand new black box in her hands.
He was standing in a church square covered with flowers. Guests were coming and going around him, and everyone was chatting and laughing.
Beside him was still Xu Yong.
But now he was wearing a best man suit and looking at himself.
"What are you daydreaming about? Brother Tian——"
Xu Yong patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, trying to sober him up, "Today is your big day!"
"Don't just stand there, the wedding is about to start!" (End of this chapter)
