As the second hand turned to the exact time, the live stream screen refreshed momentarily.
Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu appeared on the screen.
Their background looked like an apartment room, very neatly decorated, with a piano beside them in the frame, likely where they stayed while participating in the competition in Baijing.
Five days had passed since the end of the Dragon Violin Cup, and in the picture, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu both appeared visibly more spirited.
The moment the viewers saw them, many online couldn’t hold back:
[Wuwuwu... Mr. Moonlight, Miss Cat, I missed you so much!]
[Where on earth have you been all this time??]
[Why are you only streaming now? What about the competition? Did it really end?]
[What exactly happened back then? I believe you didn’t mean for this to happen.....]
[Damn, talk it out, just don’t retire!]
The entire screen was flooded with comments.
This was the expected outcome.
As for finding an outlet for their emotions, no matter the words, it was understandable.
At this moment, Lin Tian in front of the camera let out a heavy sigh.
Then, he looked at Gan Yanyu beside him.
Gan Yanyu nodded, then stood up.
"First of all, I want to apologize to all the music lovers who have been supporting us!"
After speaking, Gan Yanyu faced the camera and bowed deeply.
This was the first time Miss Cat had given such a grand gesture to the fans, a move with immense impact, so everyone was temporarily stunned, and the fingers that were typing comments involuntarily stopped.
After finishing the bow, Gan Yanyu straightened her back, eyes firm.
For Gan Yanyu, this apology was required.
She and Lin Tian were neither ordinary idols nor purely professional players.
What they had been doing was always about promoting classical music.
The realization of this dream had always relied on the spread by the music lovers and the support of fellow classical music enthusiasts.
Their withdrawal from the competition broke the hearts of many who love classical music... Gan Yanyu understood this very well and she could empathize.
Therefore, Gan Yanyu felt this bow was very necessary!
Seeing the usually cute and serious Gan Yanyu, now so solemnly apologizing.
In an instant, many of the emotionally charged viewers also gradually calmed down.
They began to settle down and listen to what the two had to say.
"Here, allow me to explain to everyone... what happened that day."
Gan Yanyu took a deep breath and said,
"On that morning, my partner Mr. Lin Tian... was involved in a car accident on the way to the venue."
"According to subsequent examinations, several parts of his body were severely injured... and he also suffered a concussion... The doctor said that for him to make it to the venue on his own was already a miracle..."
As soon as these words came out,
all the viewers in the live room became agitated.
[What the hell?! A car accident??]
[Ah, no wonder there were rumors online about blood being seen on site, I thought I didn’t see it clearly on the live stream.]
[Damn it! So that’s why Mr. Moonlight collapsed because of this!]
[Seriously, a car accident, yet he still came to the venue??!]
[Insane, is Mr. Moonlight trying to kill himself?!]
Upon hearing Gan Yanyu say this,
everyone suddenly had a moment of clarity.
Previously, speculation about how exactly Lin Tian’s injuries at the competition had occurred, and how serious they were, had been rampant. Fresh chapters posted on novel⟡fire.net
But there was never an official answer.
Now, as Gan Yanyu told the story, everything became clear.
It was actually a car accident!
This was even more serious than many users had speculated previously.
Situations that many couldn’t figure out or perhaps sensed but couldn’t confirm, suddenly became clear!
No wonder Lin Tian collapsed on stage!
No wonder he seemed in such a bad state when he arrived at the venue!
No wonder the internet was abuzz with news about Lin Tian’s severe injuries!
For the viewers, the biggest question now was not simply why they couldn’t complete their performance.
The biggest issue was,
how on earth could Mr. Moonlight actually make it to the venue under such circumstances!!
Moreover, looking at the situation back then.
If it hadn’t been for the withdrawal,
he sat in front of the piano truly ready to perform!
Who knows, if he really started playing, with the adrenaline rush, Lin Tian might just... no, judging by their past insane experiences, they surely could have completed the competition!
After all, just making it to the venue was probably due to adrenaline already.
Learning about this, Zhang Dong, sitting in front of the camera, was now holding his head in disbelief, exclaiming "Damn!" in shock.
"I’m convinced... Mr. Moonlight is simply a superman!"
"He really risked his life for this competition!!"
Now it was completely understood.
This couldn’t be seen as Moonlight and Cat not taking their competition seriously.
what Mr. Moonlight did was literally risking his life.....
In his eyes, this competition was of importance far greater than himself.
the significance was not entirely in the competition itself.
More importantly, it was about the girl sitting beside Lin Tian at this moment.....
Then, why they didn’t continue to perform seemed self-evident.
Because another person made a different choice, yet the essence in both of their hearts was completely aligned—
