Chapter 109: Fan Q&A

Su Ran took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

Perhaps, the relationship between these two couldn’t just be described as "innocent" anymore. There was another adjective that fit now—brutal. No wonder Lin Tian liked her so much. If I were a guy, I’d probably fall for someone like her too, she thought wistfully. Damn, they really are something else.

For a fleeting moment, Su Ran almost felt tempted to dive headfirst into romance herself—but then reality slapped her back. Her expression darkened with a mix of bitterness and indignation. She decided that once she got home, she’d take out her frustrations by shooting some adorable cosplay photos to mess with people online, filling the void in her heart somehow.

That evening.

Knock, knock, knock.

Lin Tian, who had been poring over art school brochures at home, heard the sound of knuckles rapping against his door. Finally, he thought. It’s about time. He’d started to worry when Gan Yanyu didn’t come home earlier; maybe she was still upset with him.

When he opened the door, there she stood, exactly as he’d expected.

“Miss Gan, let me explain—” Lin Tian began, but before he could finish, Gan Yanyu cut him off.

“I’ll work hard for the Starlight Cup,” she said firmly, looking straight into his eyes. “And you, Lin Tian, need to give it your all too.”

Her words landed like a hammer strike, each syllable deliberate and unwavering. Lin Tian blinked, surprised by her intensity. But then, slowly, a smile spread across his face.

“Got it,” he replied simply.

“Even if we’re apart, the Starlight Cup and the art exam—they’re both our goals. They belong to us together, not just one of us.” Gan Yanyu crossed her arms, her gaze unyielding. This side of her was rare, and Lin Tian found himself momentarily taken aback.

“If either of us holds back, it’s a betrayal of our partnership.”

“Betrayal?!” Lin Tian exclaimed, wide-eyed. “What’s with the sudden escalation?”

But as he studied her determined expression, Lin Tian realized something. During the hours she’d disappeared today, Gan Yanyu must have come to terms with something important. Whatever it was, it had solidified her resolve.

Man, she’s getting harder to figure out every day, he mused silently. Fine then—if she’s stepping up, so will I.

“Understood, Miss Gan.”

While Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu buried themselves in preparations for the art exams and competitions, oblivious to everything else, an unexpected storm brewed online—a corner of their world they’d completely forgotten about.

It was Monday, an ordinary weekday. The fans of Moonlight and Cat, who usually spent their days bickering on forums and social media, were busy with work, school, or life in general. No one anticipated what was coming next.

Ding.

A notification popped up on everyone’s phones: "Moonlight and Cat has updated!"

At first, confusion rippled through the fandom. Wait, already? It hadn’t even been long since their last release, The Spanish Bullfighting Song. But hey, Moonlight’s legendary productivity was nothing new. Shrugging, fans flocked to TikTok.

But instead of the familiar sight of Moonlight playing piano and Cat-chan strumming her cello, viewers were greeted by something entirely different: a boy and a girl sitting casually on a couch, facing directly into the camera—as if addressing them.

The title of the video read: "Answering Fan Questions."

Chaos erupted immediately.

Office workers sputtered mid-sip, spewing coffee everywhere. Students hiding their phones under their desks during class barely stifled screams as teachers shot them death glares. Even someone innocently using the bathroom tensed up so suddenly that… well, let’s not go there.

Moonlight and Cat were actually interacting with their fans.

Artificial intelligence had turned human.

This bombshell detonated across QQ groups and chatrooms faster than wildfire. Everyone scrambled to witness history unfold. And when viewers noticed Cat-chan wearing a sailor uniform before the video even started, the chat exploded.

"Holy crap, Cat-chan looks so cute today!!!"

"OMG, I never thought I’d live to see Sailor Uniform Cat-chan! Sitting there like a living doll!"

"Shut up, shut up, this is just part of Moonlight’s mission."

"Sobbing, Day N of envying Moonlight."

"Moonlight, dude, I love this outfit on Cat-chan, but please, treat her gently tonight or we’ll cry for her."

---

“Hello, everyone. We’re Moonlight and Cat,” Moonlight greeted warmly, flashing his signature smile. “We’ve gathered some questions from our fans that we think you’ll find interesting, and we’re here to answer them personally.”

“We’ll respond honestly and truthfully,” Cat-chan chimed in, her voice sweet and clear. Though listeners had heard her sing before in Can-Can Dance, hearing her speak again sent waves of excitement through the comments section.

“So cute!”

“Please reprimand me! My queen!.”

“Ugh, thinking about how Moonlight gets to hear her voice every day makes me want to die.”

“Oh my god, screw you, random troll…”

“First question,” Moonlight announced, holding up a small card. “This has been a burning question since our very first video.”

He paused dramatically, then read aloud: “Are Moonlight and Cat real high school students, or is this just a TikTok persona?”

Putting the card down, Moonlight looked directly into the camera. “I know TikTok is full of half-truths, and I totally understand why people might doubt us. After all, how many high schoolers can produce music at this level and maintain such consistent quality?”

“But I’m here to tell you clearly—we are 100% high school students. No fakes.”

To prove it, he pulled out his ID card, covering all personal details except the birth year: 2005.

“Cat-chan and I are the same age. We’re both high schoolers. As for which grade we’re in or where we go to school…” He smirked slightly. “Sorry, privacy reasons. You don’t get to see that.”

The comment section went wild.

“No way, seriously?!”

“Wait, wait, wait—you’re serious?! High school geniuses??”

“Holy sht x3. Composer prodigy AND cellist prodigy??”

“One of my friends isn’t feeling too good right now…”

---

The first question alone set the internet ablaze. Honest answers? They weren’t kidding—Moonlight literally whipped out his ID. That level of transparency was almost terrifying.

Predictably, the comment warriors descended.

@SheGhostedWhenIPosted: “Didn’t you say you’d eat a cello raw if Cat-chan turned out to be a real girl? Get over here!”

The accused fired back instantly: “An ID doesn’t prove anything. Maybe he borrowed it from someone.”

Bold move. Commenters unleashed their wrath in response, but the skeptic held his ground, hurling insults while sarcastically praising everyone’s “creative imaginations.”

Eventually, though, no one bothered engaging anymore. Why waste energy on trolls when Moonlight was already moving on to the next question?
