"Spending New Year’s at your place?"
Lin Tian decisively shook his head, "Let’s not."
It’s not that he had any objections to Gan Yanyu’s parents.
It was simply because it felt very awkward.
Lin Tian had long been accustod to being alone; during festivals and holidays, he basically spent them by himself.
Suddenly going to a stranger’s ho... didn’t feel right.
Even with Gan Yanyu’s influence.
And besides, Lin Tian had no standing to spend New Year’s at soone else’s ho.
Under what pretense?
Boyfriend?—Not quite.
Fiancé without a confird wedding date?—That’s sothing you just don’t say out loud.
"Not going then?"
Gan Yanyu, head lowered, "Yeah, after all I’m not familiar with them myself, suddenly asking you to join, it’s just too awkward."
This is when Gan Yanyu’s saintly side showed.
Legitimate parents who haven’t been by her side for over a decade, and when she first returned, they even made her give up on her dreams.
But then, thinking that they rely wanted to use the New Year’s Eve dinner to strengthen their relationship with Gan Yanyu and make up for past shortcomings.
Gan Yanyu always felt it wasn’t right to refuse their kind intentions.
--After all, it’s just a New Year’s Eve dinner.
They don’t see each other that often throughout the year.
Moreover, going back ho for Spring Festival... is what should be done.
...
This, Lin Tian couldn’t comprehend at all.
Not to ntion parents who left when one was three years old.
As for Lin Tian’s old man, who left when he was 15, if one day he cos back wanting to spend New Year’s together,
Lin Tian would rather spend money to have him kicked out to make do with so brothel.
On New Year’s Eve night, while other families are brightly lit, feasting amid the sounds of fireworks and crackers, to let Lin Tian’s dad experience the feeling of huddling together for warmth in a cold rented room with marginal figures from the brothels, listening to the prostitutes’ tales of broken lives, could also be considered a story with considerable humanitarian care.
However, although Lin Tian didn’t understand Gan Yanyu, he would still maintain respect.
"There’s still so ti before New Year’s, no rush to give an answer."
"Mhm."
...
...
Qingzhou City, in a certain neighborhood.
"Brothers, no outdoor live streaming today, tonight we wait together!"
In the bedroom.
This day, Zhang Dong had started his live stream early.
Unlike usual, he didn’t continue with the outdoor performances that the fans loved to watch, but instead opened a chat room ahead of ti, warmly interacting with fans who just entered the live stream.
"In a while at 11 o’clock, only half an hour left, Moonlight and Cat’s new album goes live."
"I heard there’s an all-new single included, I’ll review it together with the brothers later!"
As Zhang Dong spoke this, he couldn’t help rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
The audience in the live stream was also excited.
[Great, I was wondering how to get through this half-hour, then you started streaming.]
[I heard this ti it’s a symphony, Mr. Moonlight is probably gonna serve us big ti, if you can understand half after three listens, you win!]
[Give it your all, Dong, you’re the one who was crowned by everyone as "the person who understands Moonlight and Cat the best" on the internet!]
[I don’t believe other UP hosts, I have to see your first interpretation!]
[.....]
"Don’t worry, I won’t let the brothers down!"
Zhang Dong vowed with confidence.
Ever since he played with Moonlight and Cat in a MV.
Zhang Dong’s live stream popularity surged, reaching a stable online viewership of [50,000 ] within just a month.
You could say, all of this was thanks to Moonlight and Cat!
So now, Zhang Dong, in every live stream, would wholeheartedly promote Moonlight and Cat without reservation.
While claiming to be "Mr. Moonlight’s number one die-hard fan," he blew up Moonlight and Cat in the live stream daily, and the Moon Cat fans were receptive.
On days when Moonlight and Cat didn’t update, they would co to Zhang Dong’s live stream to hear him spill the beans, listen to the "my story shooting a MV with Mr. Moonlight" narrated a hundred tis, how he would praise Mr. Moonlight’s modest and polite charm, Miss Cat’s astonishingly stunning beauty.
Of course, if it was just empty flattery, it might seem like clout-chasing.
The key point is, Zhang Dong is superb with the violin, and his understanding is indeed among the best.
Whenever Moonlight and Cat release new work, a group of UP hosts analyzing the content of the new work would appear online.
After watching them, indeed, everyone felt Zhang Dong’s interpretations were the most reasonable.
That’s why he’s so well-loved.
However.
Although Zhang Dong is so confidently assuring everyone in front of the cara, he’s still a bit nervous inside.
The last ti’s "G Minor No. 5 Hungarian Dance" and "D Major Canon"...indeed weren’t particularly difficult pieces, being the kind that even ordinary people could get the mood after a couple of listens.
This ti it’s a major piece...
The difficulty in understanding is certainly different from before.
So, Zhang Dong, fully spirited, prepared himself!
Even if he’s feeling unsure inside, he must show confidence in front of his live stream audience.
This was the very reason he was able to accumulate followers in the first place! Can’t lose that pretense!
At this mont, in the live stream, there were still people in a light-hearted mood, teasing Zhang Dong through their ssages:
[Dong, what’s with you in the MV Easter egg version? You played it like a total ss!]
[Can’t you perform without a recording studio, huh? Jeez, you ruined a perfectly good piece.]
[Dong praises Mr. Moonlight everyday for being so easy-going, but after watching the live MV version—For real! Mr. Moonlight not throwing you out along with the violin was super polite haha...]
