# Chapter 110: Moonlight and Cat’s Confession Segment!
“Let’s move on to the second question, and I’ll let my partner, Cat, read it out!”
Moonlight placed the card in front of Cat, who leaned in slightly to get a closer look at the words, her head nestled next to his.
She softly read aloud:
“May I ask if Moonlight and Cat have a management team? Is ‘SYC’ mentioned in every video the company you two signed with?”
“—Nope!”
After reading the question, Cat shook her head fiercely and said, “Moonlight and I are just two high school students pursuing our music dreams. We sh**t and edit our videos all by ourselves—no team!”
As soon as Cat finished speaking, Moonlight sprang off the couch, assuming a slight bowing posture and earnestly exclaimed, “I’d like to give special thanks here to a certain teacher from SYC—won’t disclose names—for providing our recording equipment in the early days.”
“Of course, as part of the deal, we did promote SYC in every video description. But let’s be real, it probably didn’t do much, haha!”
This humorous little speech instantly bridged the gap between Moonlight and the audience.
【Wow, Brother Moonlight really knows how to be grateful! No wonder he can churn out such awesome works!】
【Getting free sponsorship from SYC even before blowing up? Moonlight’s a legend!】
【So, you mean to say Moonlight and Cat don’t have a company or a team? Just two high schoolers casually producing such fantastic work?!】
【Whoa!!! Are you two really the protagonists in an anime?!】
【I can’t handle this! I need some solid proof! The last music prodigy I remember was centuries ago! Back then, the hottest item was Niger!】
Just the second question, and we already have such explosive answers.
The information is overwhelming, and many netizens were left reeling.
Why do Moonlight and Cat’s words carry so much weight?
Because they’re actually brave enough to bring up SYC!
Verifying this would be a piece of cake; just contact SYC and check!
SYC is a top-notch music management company in the country, quite renowned in the industry.
If they really were signed by SYC, they’d have no reason to deny it.
If they weren’t, then what? Is SYC handing out charity to artists from other companies?!
“Since we’re on the topic, let me tackle another question.”
Moonlight paused for a second, “Regarding why we have this kind of heat for our music but aren’t signing with a company or releasing albums, choosing instead to maintain our online platform.”
The moment this question landed, many netizens perked up their ears.
This was another burning question on a lot of people’s minds.
It’s undeniable that among Moonlight and Cat’s 1.86 million fans, most are just in it for entertainment and don’t care about anything else.
However, there are numerous fans who have deep admiration for Moonlight and Cat’s music, and they are troubled by this matter.
With such talent and skill, why not release an album, make a name for themselves, and strive for world-class music fame?
Instead of being a content creator on this small platform?
Even if you sh**t “Ode to Love” as a viral video, future history books won’t record you as a musician!
The term “internet music” will forever be used by haters to bring you down!
“Eh.”
“This is a multi-faceted question.”
At this point in the recording, Lin Tian clearly hesitated.
Just a system task, but he never understood why the system loves to push him towards short video platforms.
The only thing he could think of was:
The system believes that releasing works online is the best choice for Lin Tian and Gan Yan Yu at this stage.
Jumping too far too fast can easily lead to complications.
Of course, he couldn’t say that.
In fact, the system is just part of the reason.
“First off, I personally don’t think releasing music on video platforms is demeaning.
A good piece of art should be appreciated by the public.
I see many people looking down on the label ‘internet celebrity’, even claiming that TikTok viewers are just a bunch of uncultured folks who don’t deserve to enjoy such refinement. I find such statements very frightening.
Ordinary people without a deep knowledge of music can find emotional value in my music; those with a certain musical appreciation can also taste deeper layers in it.
To me, both types of listeners validate my work.
That feeling? I think it’s fantastic!”
Moonlight spoke earnestly to the camera.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the comments exploded.
【I’m crying, Brother Moonlight is really speaking for us ordinary folks…】
【Amazing. Only someone with a certain vision can say this; it slays those internet singers who think they’re high and mighty while writing mediocre lyrics.】
【Wait. I’m actually in tears! This is a true artist of the people, the star we should be chasing!】
【Yes! “Ode to Love” and “Tragic” Symphony…I don’t understand them, but when they first came out, I enjoyed listening! I think the melody is beautiful, it lifts my spirits. Isn’t that enough? Why must I be lower than others just because I’m not deep into the stories behind the music? I’ll learn to appreciate that later!】
The reality is, for the vast majority of TikTok fans, not understanding music is the norm!
Including those who eloquently write their musical impressions in the comments.
They’re just interpreting Moonlight’s music in their own way.
No one dares to claim their understanding is the only correct one.
But, of course, there will always be folks who think they know “music” better showing off their superiority!
In fact, a considerable portion of those who want Moonlight and Cat to rush out an album and leave TikTok are likely harboring this mindset.
What?
My idol is just a TikTok content creator?
That’ll make me look so bad in front of my crush!
Hurry up and release an album, become a music star, and make the music all sophisticated!
Stop posting those incredible tracks on TikTok for those who can’t even appreciate them!
Otherwise, how can I flaunt my taste?
But now, Moonlight is here, in his role as the author, telling everyone.
He doesn’t think short videos are anything lowly, nor does he see TikTok viewers as inferior.
Any understanding of music is welcome!
As long as you feel that the music from Moonlight and Cat fills you with emotion, that’s all that matters!
There’s no right or wrong.
Feeling is justice!
Of course, if you can detect deeper connotations, Moonlight will also regard you as someone with “musical appreciation”!
He firmly supports equality for all fans.
In contrast, other hip-hop internet celebrities practically crave to purify their followers and pump their work full of highbrow and flashy statements, while waving the “You don’t understand me!” banner.
Brother Moonlight’s comments are of such grand scope!
Not just fans, even passersby feel his character is top-notch!
This segment sent many netizens into a frenzy.
Even before the video ended, they were conquered by Moonlight’s charisma.
In an instant, Moonlight and Cat’s fan count skyrocketed by 140,000!
Now, they’d officially crossed the 2 million fan milestone!
However, after delivering that heartfelt statement, Moonlight didn’t completely wrap up the subject.
“Well, Cat and I are still just high school students, and we still have to balance our studies, so we don’t have the energy to tackle this issue just yet. Plus, Cat has her own things to take care of…”
“So, about releasing an album, no need to rush.”
At this point, Moonlight paused.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m not considering it.”
Upon hearing this, the netizens immediately caught onto something.
Does that mean… an album is coming?!
They didn’t have to wait too long.
Moonlight then faced the camera and seriously announced:
“It won’t be long before Cat and I start seriously planning this matter.”
【Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!】
At this, the comments section was once again flooded with exclamations.
【Really? Is Moonlight and Cat finally going to start releasing albums?!】
【Oh man, in my lifetime!!】
【Hurry hurry hurry! If you’re releasing, get it done quickly; I’ll be the first to buy the physical album!!】
However, Moonlight wasn’t finished yet.
“After it’s officially released, I’ll also include the remaining three movements of ‘Tragic’ Symphony in the album, and ‘Spanish Bullfighting Song’ and ‘Can-Can’ will also be accompanied by brand new versions performed with multiple instruments!”
“Everyone can really look forward to that!”
“Eh.”
【Awesome!!!】
【Whoa! There are still three movements of the Tragic Symphony?! Brother Moonlight, you’ve been hiding some secrets!】
【Stop teasing us and just release it already! I’ll bankrupt myself to buy it!!】
【“.”】
Netizens were starting to sense something.
Wow!
No wonder Moonlight and Cat decided to release a video answering fan questions today.
They were clearly just waiting for us to come!
The worst part? Moonlight only said, “It won’t be long” and “we’ll plan this matter.”
But how long is this “not long?”
What does “planning” mean?
None of that was revealed.
Wait, is he just teasing us?!
Is there even a way to tease this much?!
But somehow, this tease just hits right!
Who would’ve guessed there were still three movements of the Tragic Symphony?
It’s like finishing a mind-blowing movie that was already phenomenal.
Only to be hit with the news that there’s an uncut version, the ultimate DLC, three times more content, three times the enjoyment from three different holes!
As for when it’ll be released…
Just wait!
That’s the question of whether or not you love this tease!
This is Brother Moonlight’s ultimate master plan.
And fans are absolutely here for it!
“Ah, an album?”
Little did they expect.
After Moonlight made that statement, Cat stood frozen for a moment.
Turning to Moonlight with a puzzled look, she quietly asked, “When is this happening?”
Moonlight quickly lowered his voice, leaning in closer to whisper in her ear:
“We just talked about it not long ago; didn’t he suggest we get a manager?”
“Ah, I’m not ready yet,” Cat said nervously, fidgeting.
“Don’t worry about it; I’ll take care of this,” Moonlight raised his hand, reaching into the camera’s blind spot, perhaps ruffling the girl’s hair.
“Okay!”
“Yeah.”
“.”
Seriously? Are they showing off their affection in public?!
The two were completely in their own world, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Their voices weren’t loud.
But when the viewers cranked the volume up to max…
They could hear every little detail.
Seeing Cat leaning close to Moonlight’s ear whispering and then nodding obediently,
And how she had huddled against him while reading the card.
Everyone’s hearts melted.
Cat is so adorable!
Wait, did she really wear that sailor outfit just for him?!
After answering a flurry of serious questions about Moonlight and Cat’s basic info and future plans,
The following question took a sharp turn!
“Next question. It’s the one everyone asks the most: Are Cat and I in a romantic relationship?”
“I can state clearly here!”
Moonlight said with a serious face,
“Absolutely not!”
【You’re full of it!!!】
【Wait, aren’t we all part of your little game?!】
【Come on! Don’t tell me you’re about to say ‘just friends’, ‘my bro’?】
【Wrong! Everyone misunderstood what Brother Moonlight meant; it’s a master-servant relationship!】
【“.”】
For the earlier questions, people could choose to believe Moonlight, but with this one… they just couldn’t accept it!
Instantly, the comments went wild!
“I know many of you might not believe it,”
Moonlight even predicted the comments, stating firmly,
“But we are genuinely just ordinary friends; Cat is my very important partner.”
“Yes!”
Cat nodded seriously beside him, “Please don’t misunderstand, even though I often record videos at Moonlight’s house, there’s really no one at his place—it’s not like I met his parents.”
“Dumbass! Why did you tell them that?! They don’t even know we sh**t at my place!” Moonlight quickly hushed her.
“Ahhhh.”
Realizing she misspoke, Cat recoiled slightly.
Wait, buddy?!
【So not a couple, but spending time in the same space filming videos?!】
【cr*p! So all this time, they’ve filmed at Brother Moonlight’s house.】
【Wait. Moonlight’s house is empty?!】
【Oh no, Cat might have been drunk at Brother Moonlight’s place and spent the night. I envy him every day!】
【Seeing this and still not hitting that (thumbs up) button?】
“.”
It seemed that realizing they might have crossed a line in the recording,
Cat stood up immediately and earnestly chimed in:
“We’re still students; students can’t date!”
Another chapter will be updated later.
Participating in a writers’ association event, a gathering of procrastinators, everyone initially agreed to write together when they got there.
But when they arrived, I found that I was the only one with NO drafts!
This group was born to play Werewolf, and I’m stuck being the judge while trying to type.
Feeling like a clown (╥﹏╥)
