After recording was finished, Lin Tian imported the video onto the computer.

After all that commotion, both of them were a little fired up.

Right now, they only wanted to share this piece as soon as possible!

The last original music video, a cello performance of "Salut d'Amour,"

had received a total of 36,000 likes and 240,000 views as of today.

The numbers were not exactly spectacular, but the like-to-view ratio told quite a story.

At present, the Moonlight and Cat account had "6,245" followers.

That was right—a video with thirty thousand likes had directly brought the account up to six thousand followers!

That showed just how terrifyingly high-quality Lin Tian's videos were. It was only because the subject matter was relatively niche that they had failed to break into the mainstream.

But as long as viewers were drawn in, their loyalty was extremely high!

After all, netizens admired the strong.

When they saw such an expert without much popularity, quite a few people secretly rejoiced.

Everyone said things like, "They'll blow up sooner or later. If I follow now, I'll be an OG fan!" Then they happily became Moonlight and Cat's die-hard fans.

Among them, there might even have been quite a few niche-music bros!

When a goddess asked who you liked listening to and you said Jay Chou, she would just go, "Oh."

But if you said Moonlight and Cat, her first reaction would be, "Who's that?" Then she would look them up, discover they had very few followers, listen to the music, and think, Holy shit, this is amazing!

Then she would give you a thumbs-up. "Damn, damn! You even found such an obscure genius. Your music taste is practically otherworldly!"

Then you could take the opportunity to show off your music taste and tell her the two of you could get under the covers and have a proper discussion. Her little face would redden as she said she also knew a thing or two about playing the flute.

Who could possibly outlive you?

And right now, Lin Tian really needed this group of niche-music bros to help build up some buzz in the early stages.

Even though several days had already passed, a large number of hardcore fans were still active in the comments every day.

Update already! I've looped "Salut d'Amour" more than eighty times! Please, as long as you update, I'll do anything!

If possible, could you upload "Salut d'Amour" to NetEase Cloud Music? It's such a hassle to open Douyin every time I want to listen.

Can Cat appear on camera in the next video? I really want to know what Cat looks like!

Cat. Hehehe. Cat.

I don't think everyone should rush Brother Moonlight too hard. With music of this quality, I'd say it might take at least half a year before the next piece.

The person above is right. And everyone shouldn't overhype Brother Moonlight either. "Salut d'Amour" was so high-quality that the next piece might not surpass it. We should all keep a level head.

While netizens eagerly awaited an update from Moonlight and Cat, many people who knew the field better maintained a more rational attitude.

After all, everyone could see the exceptional quality of this piece.

They might not understand composition, but they knew that such an outstanding work could not possibly be written casually!

There had to be far more time and effort behind it, and they were willing to wait!

Besides, there had been far too many examples in the past of the internet failing to make someone into a god.

Precisely because they liked Moonlight and Cat's music, they had to hold themselves back!

They were terrified of praising them to death!

After carefully reading the online comments, Lin Tian more or less understood the situation.

At the beginning, everyone had focused on Gan Yan Yu's looks in the previous video, so the comments had been a mess and there had been very few followers.

That had made Gan Yan Yu feel as though everyone only cared about her appearance and no one cared about the music.

But in reality,

as time passed, more and more people, after carefully savoring it repeatedly, had recognized the charm of "Salut d'Amour" and gradually become die-hard fans.

That was the delayed nature of art in today's fast-paced mass entertainment.

Many valuable works of art could not be judged at first glance.

But this time, Lin Tian was full of confidence.

Unlike "Salut d'Amour," which required patience and thought to appreciate,

"Can-Can" had a faster, more straightforward rhythm that let people instantly get its appeal!

Even dogs on the street would bob their heads to it.

There was a saying in novel writing:

When you personally felt joy during the process of creation,

the words you created would definitely bring joy to readers as well.

The same applied to music.

During their ensemble just now, Lin Tian and Gan Yan Yu had had a lot of fun.

He believed that emotion would definitely be conveyed to the audience too!

.

Lin Tian typed rapidly on the keyboard. Gan Yan Yu, who was also sitting beside the sofa, seemed to have a bad feeling.

She slowly leaned her head over.

For the second time, she lightly rested it against Lin Tian's arm.

This time, she pressed right up against him.

No, seriously, bro?

You really were wearing a nightgown!

Gan Yan Yu brought her head close to the screen. Her freshly washed hair brushed against Lin Tian's face, carrying the pleasant scent of shampoo.

So close.

Close enough that Lin Tian could even see the fine fuzz on the girl's cheeks.

He did not dare breathe too deeply, afraid that one exhale would make the warm air stir the tiny hairs into a gentle sway.

And Gan Yan Yu seemed completely unaware of what she was doing.

Because her gaze had already been completely drawn to the words on the screen.

Looking at the tags Lin Tian had typed, Gan Yan Yu's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Why do you always add so many tags that have nothing to do with the performance?"

"To attract traffic. Makes it easier to trend."

"Who is this person?"

Gan Yan Yu pointed at the Daniel Wu tag.

"An alias." Lin Tian covered his forehead and said with deep anguish, "People started calling me that nickname when I was little. I hate it, but I can't stop people from calling me that."

"Ah, I hate people who randomly give others nicknames too." Gan Yan Yu looked upset.

"Then this..."

Gan Yan Yu then pointed at 185cm-with-abs.

Tilting her little head, she asked,

"You have them?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

Lin Tian declared loudly, "I work out all the time!"

"I can't tell."

Gan Yan Yu tried hard to believe Lin Tian, but after looking him over, she still appeared doubtful.

"You can take a look."

After saying that, Lin Tian prepared to lift his shirt.

"Don't!!"

Gan Yan Yu hurriedly shut her eyes and pressed down on Lin Tian's hand.
