Chapter 29 - 29 29 A Little Bit of Heart
Chapter 29: Chapter 29 “A Little Bit of Heart Chapter 29: Chapter 29 “A Little Bit of Heart Mo Mo was obviously getting nervous again, “Mr. Wu Mu, do you think we could actually get eliminated later?”
Love songs were not her comfort zone to begin with, and now with Wu Mu’s performance… she worried that after they finished singing, the audience might boo them directly.
Wu Mu was very confident, “Don’t worry, Ms. Mo Mo, just wait and see me perform.”
*You better actually be able to perform,* Mo Mo muttered to herself.
The host on stage was already calling their names.
It was the last episode, and knowing that the audience wouldn’t cooperate with him, Wu Mu didn’t put on his usual antics, but instead walked directly onto the stage with Mo Mo.
This lack of antics obviously made the audience feel a little unaccustomed, as if something was missing.
The two of them stood on the stage.
Mo Mo still bowed unpretentiously, smiling, “Hello everyone, I am Mo Mo, and the song we are going to sing is called ‘A Little Bit of Heart.'”
Even though Wu Mu didn’t perform any antics when he came on stage, he didn’t forget his old tradition.
He smiled at the audience below,
“Hey, just a reminder, after we finish singing, don’t deliberately give us low scores.”
“I don’t care, but Ms. Mo Mo really wants to take first place.”
“If you deliberately give low scores later, I’ll just quit the competition!”
Mo Mo next to him smiled helplessly and waved her hand, “Mr. Wu Mu, it’s not that serious, I don’t want first place that much.”
She didn’t think Wu Mu would actually quit the competition; she just assumed Wu Mu was up to his usual antics.
Wu Mu’s anti-fans didn’t think he would quit either, all muttering in their hearts, go ahead, give low scores, if you dare, really quit!
After the antics ended.
The accompaniment started playing on stage.
Mo Mo got nervous again. In the past, no matter how nervous she was off-stage, she could calm down immediately once on stage.
But this time was different. At the thought of the rehearsal situation before the competition, she couldn’t help but worry.
*Sigh, should I hold back a bit when singing later? Otherwise, Mr. Wu Mu will definitely lose face again,* she sighed internally, secretly thinking.
Amid her worries, Wu Mu began singing with the accompaniment,
“You and me, the man and the woman.”
“Both can’t escape love.”
“Who is willing to have the courage.”
“To wholeheartedly offer true feelings.”
Huh?
Mo Mo was taken aback, subconsciously looking towards Wu Mu.
What greeted her was Wu Mu’s excessively handsome face. He was also looking at her, wearing a gentle smile.
Mo Mo’s heart skipped a few beats.
She instinctively looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.
But even when she looked away, the image of his smile just now involuntarily floated before her eyes.
*Not right, something’s not right!*
*Is this really the same Mr. Wu Mu who performed so poorly during rehearsals?*
*They’re completely two different people!*
These were just simple two lines of lyrics, yet she seemed to genuinely feel the emotions buried beneath them.
Mo Mo’s heart pounded fiercely; she felt the emotions under the lyrics and also her own emotions.
Her mind went a bit blank, but her professional skills still allowed her to sing when it was her turn,
“What you’re talking about is not just you.”
“It also includes myself.”
“Should it continue again?”
“Should there be memories?”
“Let love come closer step by step.”
Mo Mo’s heart pounded nonstop. She wasn’t someone insensitive to emotions; in fact, she realized early on that she might have developed feelings for Wu Mu.
It might be because of Wu Mu’s humor; it was relaxing to chat with him, with no reservations.
It might be because his painful past evoked a sense of sympathy that slowly turned into affection.
It might also be his optimism; although he had been through so much hardship, he lived happier than she did.
He seemed to have no worries every day, enjoying life, eating, drinking, playing games, and anyone with him instantly felt at ease and relaxed.
Wu Mu continued singing:
“I have a little bit of heart for you.”
“Yet I’m so afraid to look into your eyes.”
“A little bit of heart.”
“A little bit of hesitation.”
“I can’t believe my uncontrollable feelings.”
The more she interacted with him, the more Mo Mo felt like Wu Mu was like a magnet, firmly attracting her heart and mind.
He had countless advantages.
Besides having an interesting personality and being extremely handsome—truly the most handsome person she had ever seen—even though she didn’t put much emphasis on appearance, she still found herself dazzled by him from time to time.
Moreover, he was talented in writing and singing songs, making her lose all confidence in two live performances. It was the first time she realized songs could be sung like this.
He was also simple and clean; despite having his world crumble because of relationship issues, when she truly got to know him, she found that there wasn’t any chaos in his life.
On him, it seemed like she could always discover new shining points.
Before coming to the show, she had many imaginations about her future partner, but at some point, these imaginations all turned into his likeness.
She knew she was starting to like him.
Mo Mo forced herself to suppress the shyness in her heart and looked at Wu Mu next to her. Meeting his dazzling gaze, she sang,
“I have a little bit of heart for you, not knowing if the result will be sorrow or joy.”
“A little bit of heart.”
“A little bit of hesitation.”
“Afraid that after loving, I’d still have to lose.”
She suspected Mr. Wu Mu might have already discovered her feelings; otherwise, how could he write such fitting lyrics?
Feelings were true, and so was hesitation.
Upon discovering her affection, she had considered whether she should follow this sentiment further.
Then… inevitably, she recalled Mr. Wu Mu’s ex and couldn’t avoid thinking about the scene from the second episode.
She was a bit of a purist, hoping that her future partner could be like her, without any experience, and that the two could experience the ups and downs of love together, grow together, and finally stay lifelong partners.
Every time she thought about the future with Mr. Wu Mu, she found Mr. Wu Mu’s ex like a mountain standing in the distance.
Just imagining that the person she loved had such a deep-seated past made her feel suffocated.
She found it difficult to accept Mr. Wu Mu’s past relationship.
Moreover, she had never sensed the same emotions from Mr. Wu Mu; he seemed to have no such intentions towards her.
So in the end, she wisely decided to let this affection remain just that, affection.
Mo Mo thought this way before.
But after this song…
She felt the emotions in Wu Mu’s song, the same emotions as hers.
Did he have those feelings, too?
Mo Mo’s heart pounded rapidly.
She forced herself to maintain eye contact with Wu Mu and sang together:
“Hard to resist.”
“People fear most when they have feelings.”
“Even though they don’t want to think, look, or listen.”
“They still fall into love.”
*What should I do?*
*What should I do?*
*Should I continue?*
*Should I continue!?*
Mo Mo’s mind was in a turmoil.
What do you think?
