### Chapter 43: The Absolutely Real Tags
After finishing the recording, Lin Tian imported the video onto his computer.
After all that commotion, both of them were feeling a bit tipsy.
At this moment, all they wanted was to share this piece of music as quickly as possible!
In their last piece, “Original Music: Ode to Love for Cello.”
As of today, it had racked up 36,000 likes and 240,000 views.
While those numbers aren’t exactly ostentatious, the like ratio speaks volumes.
Currently, the “Moonlight and Cat” account has amassed a whopping 6,245 followers.
Yes, one video with 30,000 likes directly propelled the account to 6,000 followers!
This indicates that the quality of Lin Tian’s videos is terrifyingly high; it’s just that the niche topic hasn’t gone viral.
But the fans drawn in are super sticky!
After all, internet users love a strong contender.
Seeing a big shot like this without any hype, a lot of people couldn’t help but feel giddy inside.
They all chimed in with, “This will blow up sooner or later; I’m a longtime fan now!” and smoothly turned into d*e-hard fans of Moonlight and Cat.
Among them, there were probably quite a few niche enthusiasts!
When the goddess asks you whose music you like, and you say Jay Chou, she’s like, “Oh.”
But if you say it’s Moonlight and Cat, her first reaction is, “Who on earth is that?” Then she goes to search and upon hearing the music thinks, “Wow, that’s awesome!”
And then she gives you a thumbs up: “Wow, wow! You found this hidden gem? Your taste in music is extraordinary!”
Thus, you can show off your musical taste, suggesting to the goddess that maybe you could cuddle up and discuss it further, and she blushes, saying she’s also somewhat good at playing the flute.
Who could outshine you now?
And Lin Tian really needed this group of niche enthusiasts to raise his initial hype.
Even after several days, the comment section was still buzzing with loyal fans every day.
“Update already! I’ve looped ‘Ode to Love’ over eighty times! Please, I’ll do anything if you update!”
“Could you possibly upload ‘Ode to Love’ to Cloud, please? It’s such a hassle to open Douyin every time!”
“Can Cat-chan show her face in the next video? I really want to see what she looks like!”
“Cat-chan, hehehe…Cat-chan.”
“I don’t think we should rush Moonlight to update. Given the quality of this piece, the next one might take a few more months, if not longer.”
“The person above is right, and we shouldn’t overly mythologize Moonlight either. Given the high quality of ‘Ode to Love,’ it’s not guaranteed that the next piece will surpass it. We all need to take a chill pill.”
While fans were eagerly awaiting updates on Moonlight and Cat, many more knowledgeable folks kept a rational attitude.
After all, the exceptional quality of this piece was apparent to all.
Though they might not understand composition, they knew that such high-quality works certainly don’t just pop out of thin air!
There had to be more time and effort behind it, and they were willing to wait!
Plus, there have been too many examples of internet hype flopping in the past.
It was precisely because they loved Moonlight and Cat’s music that they had to hold back!
Fearing they might jinx it!
After diving into the comments online, Lin Tian had a rough idea of how things were going.
In the last video, everyone was initially focused on Gan Yan Yu’s looks, so the comments were a mess, and the follower count was low.
This led Gan Yan Yu to feel like, “Everyone only cares about my appearance; nobody cares about the music.”
But in reality,
As time passed and more people took the time to savor “Ode to Love,” they began to recognize its charm, slowly transforming into d*e-hard fans.
This is the nature of art; its delayed response in today’s fast-paced entertainment world.
Many valuable artworks often can’t be judged at first glance.
This time, Lin Tian was filled with confidence.
Unlike “Ode to Love,” which needs patience and deep reflection, the “Can-Can” has a faster, more straightforward rhythm that allows you to instantly appreciate its charm!
Even the dogs on the street can bob their heads along to it.
In the world of novel writing, there’s a saying:
When you feel genuinely happy during the creative process,
The words you create will surely bring joy to your readers.
Music is no different.
During the previous ensemble performance, Lin Tian and Gan Yan Yu had a blast.
He was convinced that this emotion would definitely resonate with the audience!

Lin Tian was quickly typing on the keyboard, while Gan Yan Yu sitting beside him seemed to have a bad premonition.
She slowly leaned her head in.
For the second time, she gently pressed against Lin Tian’s arm.
This time, it was a full-on snuggle.
Wait a minute, buddy?
Are you really wearing a nightgown?
Gan Yan Yu leaned her head closer to the screen, her freshly washed hair brushing against Lin Tian’s face, emitting a delightful shampoo scent.
So close.
So close that Lin Tian could even see the fine fuzz on her cheeks.
He dared not breathe deeply, fearing his hot breath would make those little hairs flutter.
And Gan Yan Yu didn’t seem to notice her actions.
Because her gaze was completely fixed on the text on the screen.

Looking at the tags Lin Tian typed, Gan Yan Yu’s eyes narrowed into slits.
“Why do you keep putting so many irrelevant tags to the performance?”
“Traffic, of course! Gotta make it trendy.”
“Who is this person?”
Gan Yan Yu pointed to the “Daniel Wu” tag.
“Stage name.” Lin Tian covered his forehead, lamenting, “Ever since I was a kid, people have called me that. I really don’t like it, but it’s stuck.”
“Ah, I hate people who give others random nicknames,” Gan Yan Yu said, looking a little sad.
“And this one…”
Then Gan Yan Yu pointed at the “185 with Abs” tag.
Her little head tilted:
“You have that?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Lin Tian replied loudly, “I work out all the time!”
“Can’t tell.”
Gan Yan Yu tried hard to believe Lin Tian, but as she sized him up, skepticism still lingered.
“You can take a look.”
Lin Tian said, ready to lift his shirt.
“NO!!”
Gan Yan Yu quickly shut her eyes and pressed down on Lin Tian’s hand.
