Chapter 203 Listening to Teacher Cat Tell Fairytale Stories (Bonus Chapter) (Vote for Us!)
”Teacher Gan, all that stuff from the past? I’m totally fine.”
Lu Tian swiftly comforted the suddenly teary-eyed Gan Yan Yu, who looked like she’d just been hit by a truck full of pears.
He wasn’t lying. He genuinely felt that it was just water under the bridge.
Otherwise, why would he bring it up in front of so many fans during an album launch?
But boy, was this something even Lu Tian didn’t think twice about turning into a tear-jerker.
”Why didn’t you ever tell me about this before?”
”. Just, there’s nothing much to say.”
”If I hadn’t gone to Britain, if I had known you earlier…”
Gan Yan Yu sighed, displaying a faint expression of regret and shame.
. This one time, Lu Tian couldn’t counter with logic.
Watching these two chat, the netizens lost their chill.
【Good lord, isn’t Cat just too warm?】
【Sniffle! Having a wife like this, what more can a man ask for?!】
【Though we always curse that Moonlight Brother should d*e, encountering someone like Cat, it’s somewhat redemption on its own】
【AAAAAH! Moonlight Brother, deprived of family love when he meets Cat, they’re a match made in heaven!】
No one expected that Cat would shed tears during a live stream, and this was definitely genuine emotion, no script involved.
Seeing Moonlight and Cat interact so naturally at a new album launch…
They say honesty is the ultimate trump card.
This certainly struck a chord with many.
In no time at all,
The Emotion Meter on Lu Tian’s backend had reached an astounding [84556/100000].
Only one step left.
Still, the stream was only halfway through.
Seemed like they could safely cross off the first task.
Next, A Ning, the host, held in her horror, steering the conversation back:
”Now, let’s get back to the album itself, shall we? Let’s hear how our cellist extraordinaire, Teacher Cat, brings these pieces to life…”
Next up, it was time for Gan Yan Yu’s part.
To the audience:
Seeing the viewpoint of a performer was equally intriguing.
How do exceptional musicians interpret music? Inspiration plays its role.
Especially, given someone as accomplished as Cat.
The biggest bombshell:
At just 18, Cat not only was a professional cellist but was also among the top two cellists in the entire province!
On sites like Bilibili and Douyin, there were plenty of influencers hanging “former pro” tags to get attention, flaunting titles that no one could fully grasp.
But Cat stood out among them:
Not “former pro,” but “current!”
A well-known one!
Performing was her job, video-making her hobby.
Even before she revealed herself, she never bragged about being “professional!”
Her image as a masterful virtuoso was perfectly captured on screen.
.
Cat wiped away tears with a tissue given to her by staff, having been so absorbed she’d almost cried while listening to the piece.
Then, she began her speech:
”Let’s start with everyone’s favorite, the ‘Cello Concerto in E minor’. When I first performed it, I felt like I was having a chat with the soul of the piece. But our conversation wasn’t very pleasant… even I found his ideas to be a bit jumbled.”
She spoke softly, recounting the story like a fairytale,
”Sometimes he was affectionate with me, then grabbing my hand with such sadness… until I, myself, was affected.”
“What?”
A Ning, standing next to her, looked mortified.
Wait, what did you just say?
Why couldn’t she understand a single word after Cat started talking?
What soul? What conversations?
Hey, aren’t you just playing the cello here?
A Ning, supposed to smoothly guide the conversation, could barely keep up.
Interviewing Moonlight was already emotional.
Now interviewing Cat seemed to go to crazy levels.
Screens were flooded with question marks.
Shouldn’t they be sharing stories about the past?
It sounded more like a surreal journey!
Some just wanted a light chat of the day. Instead, they got a trip to the Twilight Zone.
In response, Lu Tian could only sigh.
When you sit down with an experiential performer, what do you even say?
Like “Do you ever imagine yourself dancing in Renaissance-era Vienna dressed as a siren?”
Or “Tell us how you once ended up in World War I witnessing your family getting sent to concentration camps?”
Any ordinary person would probably label you as a madman.
Surprisingly,
Gan Yan Yu dove into this deeply.
Sharing every detail from the E minor Concerto to the “Pathétique” Symphony, her expressions shifting between longing and despair.
Yet, her face remained bright with joy.
The audience listened intently for half an hour.
【Amazing. Can’t even form words. That’s why I’ll never be a musician!】
【Artists’ minds are something else. Definitely not normal territory.]
【Cat seems even cuter now. Argh!】
Throughout her speech,
People felt their mental state swing wildly between heaven and hell.
Their minds had traveled far beyond this world.
Many were still dazed, not sure what they had heard.
It was hard to follow along.
Yet, despite not understanding a word,
They felt every emotion Cat poured into her talk.
.
Until Pu Yi Dan in the back reminded A Ning, interrupting Gan Yan Yu.
Afterward, A Ning resumed control of the microphone:
”We’re wrapping up the interview segment.”
”The rest of the time, let Moonlight and Cat interact with everyone directly—live on-screen!”
.
With everything settled, A Ning rose and left.
Walking out, she exhaled in relief.
Once backstage, her demeanor instantly changed to miserable.
”Dani! You’re never going to convince me. From now on, I’m done doing interviews with Moonlight and Cat!!”
