CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 309: WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO OUTSHINE BY DRESSING SO BEAUTIFULLY? _2

"A little bit is already very impressive."

"If you’re comparing to Mr. Gan, then yeah, only a little bit."

When it comes to the aura of a great musician, it’s got to be Gan Yanyu.

"You come up, I’ll go down and take a picture of you."

"Huh?"

"Hurry, hurry!"

Lin Tian jumped down from the stage and urged Gan Yanyu.

Gan Yanyu’s little face blushed slightly and she walked onto the stage.

"I...I’ve never been on such a big stage..."

"Just going to take a couple of pictures for you, as a keepsake."

This time it was Lin Tian’s turn to sit in the front row seat.

He took out his phone, opened the camera function, and aimed it at Gan Yanyu.

"....."

In the screen of the phone.

The girl stood where Lin Tian had just been standing.

Facing the audience seats, her eyes... momentarily dazed.

Her feet seemed to be bound by something.

"Mr. Gan, don’t be so stiff."

"How about a peace sign?"

"Mr. Gan?"

Lin Tian sensed something was off and called out again.

"Ah... cough cough cough—"

Gan Yanyu snapped back to reality, covering her mouth.

She then squatted down, smiled softly, and flashed a peace sign at the camera.

"Alright, that’s our world-class cellist, Professor Gan Yanyu..."

Lin Tian praised with a smile as he pressed the shutter.

"Come up here too, let’s take one together."

Gan Yanyu said.

"No need, there will be plenty of chances anyway."

"Selfies have more personal meaning."

"Who says you can’t take selfies once the concert starts? I really want to take one in front of the audience then!"

"Uh... wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the audience?"

"It’s our stage, who cares about them!"

...

The empty venue echoed with the laughter of a man and a woman.

Meanwhile.

At the side of the audience seats, near the backstage entrance.

He Zhichen watched the two from afar, and soon a female staff member in a vest walked over.

"Mr. He, the rest room is ready. You can let the two teachers go over first..."

The female staff member spoke, then looked up and saw Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu busy taking photos on the empty stage.

For a moment, she was a bit stunned.

"Unexpected, right?"

He Zhichen turned his head and said with a smile.

"Uh... yeah..."

The female staff member stammered in surprise,

"Didn’t expect... Moonlight and Miss Cat... to be so childlike...?"

"Well, they’re basically still kids."

He Zhichen looked toward the stage again, his eyes filled with a bit of tenderness.

"It’s because this era needs them that they were pushed to become these kinds of adults..."

...

...

"What a big venue!!"

Nannali had just been led to the stage when she was immediately startled by the scene before her.

"If all these seats were filled, it would be spectacular..."

"Aren’t you from a musical family?"

Lin Tian asked, puzzled,

"And you’re surprised by this?"

"N-no, I’m not scared!"

Nannali widened her eyes, "I... I’m just marveling, isn’t it normal for musicians to have never performed in such a venue?"

"Only ’Moonlight and Cat’ could perform classical music in a place like this, right?"

Bai Xi walked to the front of the stage, taking in the place.

For today’s rehearsal, Bai Xi had especially worn a red slit evening gown.

Paired with her intentionally but appropriately graceful demeanor, she truly was a charming beauty.

In contrast.

The other girls were either in short sleeves or loose hoodies.

"It’s just a rehearsal, no need to dress so exaggeratedly, right?"

Nannali crossed her arms, intentionally raising her voice.

Who do you want to outshine?

Nannali inwardly sneered at such behavior!

In fact, setting aside their identity as cellists.

Everyone was around twenty, at the prime of their youth.

There’s no way they wouldn’t care about their appearance.

Since they were all going to be on stage together.

There’s always a bit of... not wanting to be outshone!

After all, it was everyone’s first time on such a big stage.

Everyone wanted to look good... at least don’t want to be overshadowed by those around them!

Gan Yanyu, no one could compare with her.

This was a point everyone was clearly aware of.

This 18-year-old, with such a face, being able to appear in the classical music world was already the biggest glitch in this world!

But if you can’t compete with Gan Yanyu, how about you?

"What I wear pleases me, what’s it to you?"

Bai Xi half-covered her face, smiling elegantly.

"Tch, pleasing yourself~"

Nannali turned her face away, rolling her eyes.

If she’s dressed like this for rehearsals.

What would she wear on stage later, Nannali didn’t dare imagine.

"You look like you don’t quite believe it."

Bai Xi still smiled with poise,

"And besides, aren’t you wearing a Western dress too?"

Looking down.

Nannali wore a green-brown little Western dress, with a wide skirt that could fit a person underneath.

"My Lolita dress is everyday wear, unlike yours." Nannali stated firmly.

"Mm-hmm~ So you’ve already made dressing up a daily routine—if it’s not to please yourself, then is it..."

"Nonsense, I’m just wearing a dress, I didn’t wear makeup or any headwear or earrings, how can you call this over-dressing?" Nannali retorted.

"And I just wore a dress too, we’re all here for a rehearsal, how can you say I specifically dressed up?"

The two girls went back and forth like this, the air subtly filled with tension.

"Yes, I think, everyone today is normally dressed."

Standing between them, Yun Qiuxiu, accidentally pulling out her hoodie strings, was trying to tuck them back in as she spoke.
