### Chapter 156: The Fastest Boomerang on Bilibili
“.”
Four hours after Zhang Dong dropped his latest video.
With the fresh release of Moonlight and Cat’s tango tune “One Step Away,” over on the other side of Bilibili, a video just shot up to number one on the daily charts: “Uncle Dong’s” street performance. This sparked a chain reaction.
A massive reckoning began!
Many viewers who had previously watched Zhang Dong’s video erupted in excitement when they noticed that the outfits, characters, and locations in Moonlight and Cat’s new video were strikingly similar to Zhang Dong’s.
【Dude, you just got hit by reality!】
【Holy moly! Is that seriously Moonlight Brother and Cat?!!】
【I never saw this coming!! I was thinking the two of them together, one on cello and the other on piano, is pretty respectful, considering how many combos like that are online. I mean, just the other day I saw a pair of amazing professional musicians like that on Weibo too.】
【What now? Like their performance matters? Those who said Moonlight and Cat can’t compare to Uncle Dong? Come face us!!】
【.】
It’s officially the fastest boomerang moment in history!
In just four hours, the comments and b*llet screens flipped completely.
Same video, same performance.
But once their identities were revealed, the tide turned—Moonlight and Cat were definitely the superior ones!
Those who had previously defended Zhang Dong were suddenly dragged out for public shaming.
【Hahaha saying Zhang Dong knows Moonlight and Cat better than they do is just pure comedy gold!】
【Lol, I’ll prove he really is “the biggest Moonlight and Cat fan on the internet,” but when the real deal shows up, there’s nothing you can do.】
【How’s that for a reality check? What about those music connoisseurs? Come on, tell us why Zhang Dong plays better than Moonlight Brother, go on!】
【Dying here, “Zhang Dong’s loyal fan” where are you to defend him now?】
【.】
The slapstick moment arrived so quickly that many of Uncle Dong’s fans, who just moments ago were rallying for their hero, returned from the restroom only to find 99+ notifications waiting for them.
They thought they were on fire, took a peek, and yep, they really were!
But their reputation was swiftly being decimated.
The sheer chaos of the moment felt so bizarre that many thought it was just too surreal.
They were used to “protecting” their favorite content creators; isn’t it natural to charge in when they see their big brother being insulted?
After all, isn’t the internet all about taking sides rather than sticking to the facts?
Everyone only cares about whose side you’re on; no one’s counting if your underwear is actually red or not.
They finally got their fill of justice.
But then they realized, it was the real Moonlight and Cat!
Who could’ve expected that?!
Suddenly, almost everyone opted for the classic “chipmunk act” while deleting their comments.
In this regard, users with the “Tieba” app installed had an extremely flexible stance.
Just moments ago they were the loudest cheerleaders for Zhang Dong, and now, seeing the opposing force approaching…
Zhang Dong? Who’s that again?
Dong Ge?
Dong the loser!!!
【This uploader has no shame! Calling it a “fair contest” in the title and leading public opinion!】
【What is this? Just some wannabe trying to score cheap points! Hey folks, I know Zhang Dong’s address, I’ll guide you there.】
【I’ve never dissed Moonlight and Cat online, seriously! I’m actually a fan of Moonlight Brother from ten years ago, and after much thought, I realized he’s the hope of flower music. Sometimes making decisions is tough, but after countless sleepless nights, I decided to join Moonlight and Cat’s fan club. As for Zhang Dong, I wish him’s best with that violin.】
The strategy? Just be adaptable and stay in the winner’s circle!
“.”
In the end, only Zhang Dong’s bruised ego was left intact.
All the boasting from his fans was ultimately paid for by Zhang Dong himself.
In just half an hour, he received messages about his performance over eight hundred times.
Watching the explosive heat, his view count and the number of comments skyrocketed at an unprecedented pace.
Zhang Dong couldn’t catch a break; he was utterly devastated!
The craziest part? Zhang Dong quickly realized.
Thanks to the outrageousness of this situation, it was the kind that no one could act out, and countless marketers jumped into action, turning it into videos.
And the more they spread it, the more outlandish it became!
【OMG! Even novels wouldn’t dare to write this! Some uploader played “Spanish Bullfighting Song” in the street, shamelessly claiming it was a fair match, only to discover it was the original artist!】
【My goodness! Uncle Dong the top music uploader playing in the streets and bumping into Moonlight and Cat, not recognizing them and then talking smack, only to get wrecked in the end! So satisfying!】
【Help!! Moonlight and Cat were heckled by some uploader who then said they wouldn’t believe it was them unless the video got shared 100,000 times, and then he would kneel to apologize. If you don’t share you’re not a Moonlight and Cat fan!】
Wait, what in the world?!
This was the first time Zhang Dong felt the sting of misinformation strongly hit him.
As more marketers shared the scandal, it quickly spread beyond the confines of the community, becoming the biggest joke on Bilibili this month, circulating through various QQ groups.
This wave of excitement even boosted the original video of “One Step Away” to over a million likes in one night.
Countless netizens either left comments under Moonlight’s video or tagged Moonlight and Cat in Zhang Dong’s comment section.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dong’s video surpassed two million views, with everyone eagerly awaiting Moonlight’s response.
After all, some eagle-eyed fans had already pointed out serious distortion issues in the second half of Zhang Dong’s live stream and confirmed that he only edited half of the performance.
Additionally, there were comments about him disrespecting Moonlight and Cat after leaving. Combine that with his fans openly mocking them, and he had enough drama to bury him!
Moonlight Brother, please take the lead this time!
Everyone was waiting for Moonlight to appear and deliver a verbal smackdown to this arrogant little uploader.
Now this was some real internet drama!
“.”
At last.
Under the endless tagging and pleading.
【Moonlight and Cat】finally posted a new update on Bilibili!
Under the watchful eyes of countless fans, onlookers, and delightfully nosy Bilibili users.
Moonlight shared Zhang Dong’s new video, leaving a comment:
【I saw many fans tagging me, so I specially watched your video! I had no idea you were the violinist that day.
While your pacing was a bit off, you did play very well! I planned to invite you to join us for a duet, but sadly, you left too quickly.
I’m planning to sh**t an MV for “One Step Away” next week, and I could really use a violinist’s accompaniment. Cat and I were just discussing it, and if you’re interested, we’d love to invite you to perform with us. What do you think?】
