"Mr. Nishikawa?"
Although he was somewhat surprised to see him here, Lin Tian had expected it before coming, so he did not react too strongly.
"I can't believe I really ran into you here!"
Nishikawa Yuuhaku wore a black suit. Though born in the nineties, he had the refined, delicate looks favored by Japanese aesthetics, and his dazzling smile carried an air of nobility and grace.
The moment he approached, Nishikawa Yuuhaku extended his hand and tightly clasped Lin Tian's.
"I'd long heard of what you and Ms. Gan Yan Yu have accomplished recently. In Japan, you two are now the most famous musicians from China! I'd been looking forward to meeting you today even before I came!"
"You flatter me."
Lin Tian answered modestly.
Just then, two white men in suits standing beside Nishikawa Yuuhaku walked over. Seeing Nishikawa Yuuhaku suddenly treat a young man so warmly, they could not help asking curiously,
"(Mr. Nishikawa, who is this?)"
"Oh."
Rather than introducing Lin Tian right away, Nishikawa Yuuhaku first introduced the two men to Lin Tian.
"Mr. Lin Tian, this is American cellist Hypnos Brian, last year's Wente Cup champion."
The burly blond man, Brian, raised his head proudly.
"And this is Brazilian cellist Noel Perkins, who has won his national championship for five consecutive years."
Perkins, who was a little shorter and looked somewhat heavier, smiled humbly.
"Mm."
Lin Tian nodded.
He recognized both names. They had both appeared on the list Wan Qi had provided, marked as "opponents to watch."
However, he did not see Isaac, Nishikawa Yuuhaku's partner.
Still, judging by their reputations, these two were musicians who dominated their respective countries.
No wonder they got along so well with Nishikawa Yuuhaku.
Top-tier musicians like them were naturally drawn together.
Like Lin Tian and Gan Yan
