Spring, 2022.
Manchester International Cello Competition, Youth Division.
16-year-old Nannali sat alone in the corner of the waiting room, her small hands secretly clenched into fists.
"She's here... she's here... it's Gan Yanyu....."
Soft whispers surrounded her, and Nannali swiftly looked up.
On the big screen.
A girl in a snow-white dress with her hair elegantly pinned up walked onto the stage.
"Is she Gan Yanyu?"
Nannali widened her eyes, staring at the girl on the screen,
"So beautiful....."
Nannali never expected that the rumored Gan Yanyu would be a girl the same age as her.
And she possessed such an incredibly beautiful face....
Is she actually Gan Hua's granddaughter?
Nannali carefully compared the girl in front of her with the image of the old man on the videotape, indeed finding a faint resemblance.
If only I could defeat her....
If only I could defeat her here, I wouldn't have to learn the cello anymore.
