What kind of congratulations was that?
Seeing the mysterious smile all over He Zhichen's face, Lin Tian uneasily took the phone.
On the screen was none other than Tokyo's trending search rankings.
One entry stood out in particular:
(Sakibo International Piano Competition venue: China's History's Youngest Musician, Lin Tian, makes a surprise appearance?)
"That's it?"
Lin Tian felt that Gan Yan Yu eating half a plate of dorayaki was a much more entertaining topic.
At least she had looked genuinely adorable while sneaking bites.
"That's not right."
At that moment, Gan Yan Yu clasped her hands behind her back and said,
"It's already quite difficult for a Chinese musician to be reported by international music media at a competition. Being exposed before the competition has even begun is even rarer."
"Teacher Gan Yan Yu is right. Teacher Lin Tian, you've made history too."
He Zhichen said.
"But... doesn't this phrasing look like something only a major celebrity would use?"
Like, "So-and-so makes a surprise appearance somewhere."
Then everyone was shocked, everyone started discussing it, and everyone asked who So-and-so was.
What a mess.
And the quotation marks around "Youngest Musician in China's History," along with that question mark afterward, were suspicious too.
Did that mean there was sarcasm hidden in it?
Faced with Lin Tian's question,
He Zhichen confidently declared,
"Don't rush. Let the bullets fly a little longer!"
The official Sakibo Twitter account was particularly lively that day.
As a world-renowned piano competition, news related to the Sakibo International Piano Competition received widespread attention throughout the music world every February.
Especially when the contestants were all formidable young talents from countries around the world.
Whenever something occasionally broke out of the circle, it would go straight onto Twitter's trending list.
This year was no exception.
