Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Not Always Just Bad Things Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Not Always Just Bad Things Mo Mo finished encouraging her partner and was about to walk offstage, ready to exit the performance.

But a few steps later, she didn’t hear the footsteps of her partner following her.

She turned her head in surprise and saw her partner still standing on the stage, not having moved an inch.

“Wu Mu, sir?”

Wu Mu gave her a smile, but still stood on the stage motionless, looking like he was waiting for the audience to quiet down, as if he had something to say.

Mo Mo had a bad feeling in her heart.

The audience below the stage finally noticed something was off and looked at Wu Mu on the stage with puzzled eyes.

What’s up with Wu?

Why isn’t he leaving the stage?

As everyone quieted down and all eyes focused on him, Wu Mu finally raised the microphone and said,
“Just now, nearly two hundred people gave us one star, and I think this rating is very malicious. Our performance on stage doesn’t deserve that many one-star ratings.”

“I find this particularly unfair to both myself and Teacher Mo Mo, so I’ve decided—”
“To formally withdraw from the singer-songwriter competition.”

Ah.

Ah?

Everyone was taken aback, staring at Wu Mu for several seconds. Once they realized his expression seemed serious, the venue erupted into chaos.

Wu is withdrawing from the competition?

Is this for real?

After performing so well over so many episodes and just when his tarnished image was beginning to improve, he suddenly withdraws?

He’s leaving just because of this?

Of course, unfair ratings in a professional competition are a serious issue, and other singers withdrawing for this reason might be understandable, but judging by Wu’s performances in the previous episodes, he didn’t seem like someone who would withdraw over something like this.

Everyone was astonished and confused.

Mo Mo looked at her partner, equally flustered and amazed, “Wu Mu, sir?”

But amidst their shock, confusion, and disbelief, the serious expression on Wu Mu’s face suddenly collapsed.

Wu Mu laughed heartily, “Just kidding with everyone; I thought you all looked a bit too serious, just helping everyone relax a little.”

Mo Mo: “…”

Audience: “???”

Are you insane?!

Making that kind of joke!

That’s just messing with people!

The audience below felt like rushing up and stabbing Wu, this “fun person.”

While Mo Mo breathed a sigh of relief, she also pouted, feeling that Teacher Wu Mu’s joke was a bit too much this time, unlike his previous ones which were fun and harmless.

“Wu Mu, sir, that joke wasn’t funny,” she said outright.

Wu Mu chuckled, “Sorry, sorry, my mistake, my mistake.”

He turned toward the audience below and said with a smile, “I apologize to everyone, the joke about withdrawing because of the ratings was just that, a joke. My withdrawal actually has other reasons.”

Huh?

Huh??

Everyone was once again taken aback.

What does Wu mean by that?

The joke was about the rating, but the withdrawal is real!?

By now, no one believed Wu, the “fun person” anymore. They simply turned their gaze to the host for confirmation.

The host stepped forward at the right moment and confirmed, “Unfortunately, Wu Mu will leave the singer-songwriter stage next episode due to personal reasons. We thank Wu Mu for the wonderful performances he contributed in the previous episodes.”

So Wu really is going to withdraw from the next episode!?

The scene erupted once again.

Mo Mo was clearly at a loss, “Teacher Wu Mu, why did you suddenly withdraw from the competition?”

Wu Mu looked at her and smiled, “I can’t discuss the specifics on the show, but I’ll tell you after we’re finished filming.”

After all, he had taken their money, so he couldn’t talk about such things on their program; even if he did, it would get cut.

Once the filming was over, he certainly wouldn’t keep secrets for the company that wanted to banish him.

Wu Mu’s withdrawal undoubtedly caused an uproar on the set, but the show had to go on.

Since this episode was about scoring the entire group, and there was no individual first-place contestant, the power to choose went to the high-scoring contestant from the eliminated group, which happened to be the female singer who liked singing in the Shaanbei folk style.

She could choose a group to join, and as long as one member of the chosen group agreed, the three would have a PK match. The two with the highest scores would stay, and the one with the lowest score would be eliminated.

However, due to Wu Mu’s unexpected withdrawal, only Mo Mo was left in her group.

Without any hesitation, the female singer chose to join Mo Mo’s group.

After the recording was over, Wu Mu went back to his room to pack his things.

When he finished packing and was carrying his small bag out the door, he wasn’t surprised to see a familiar figure waiting outside.

“Teacher Wu Mu…” Mo Mo looked at him, holding back her words.

She was caught off guard today; she had no idea that Wu Mu would withdraw.

While it wasn’t as dramatic as life-and-death, it was just an exit from a show – they could still meet up in the future if they wanted.

But… she had already learned from the program staff why Wu Mu withdrew.

Wu Mu’s image was supposed to have been redeemed by these past few episodes, but due to the ban from Star Electronics Company, his future seemed more uncertain than ever.

Everyone was unsure whether Wu Mu would be forced out of work and have to leave the industry because of this.

If he did leave, their paths would likely diverge, with one outside the industry and one inside; future interactions would clearly not be as frequent.

Even without leaving the industry, not being on the same show would impact their interaction.

It wouldn’t really matter for those who had a close relationship and had reached a deeper level of understanding.

But for them, they hadn’t even made a start…

And besides, Teacher Wu Mu had just managed to shake off his past influences, now to be banned again – would he…

Mo Mo’s mind was a tangled mess. She had so much she wanted to say but didn’t know how to express it all at once.

Wu Mu wasn’t so conflicted.

He smiled and waved at Mo Mo, “Teacher Mo Mo, you have to work hard in the remainder of the competition. I’ll be waiting to see you take the championship.”

Mo Mo nodded lightly, “Yeah.”

Wu Mu flicked his cell phone, “Call me if you need anything, WeChat works too. As long as I’m not gaming, I promise an instant reply, Teacher Mo Mo.”

Mo Mo smiled somewhat helplessly and nodded, “Then I’ll try not to disturb you during your gaming sessions, Teacher Wu Mu.”

Wu Mu smiled at the girl in front of him for a few seconds, swung his hand, “I’m off.”

All the words in Mo Mo’s heart finally condensed into one sentence.

She said softly, “Teacher Wu Mu, not everything in the world is bad.”

“Of course not.”

…

It had been three days since Wu Mu withdrew from the singer-songwriter competition.

After leaving Star City where the show was filmed, Wu Mu returned to his small house in his hometown of Nangang City.

He had taken a good three-day rest, although he hadn’t really exhausted himself on the show.

After lazing around for three days, Wu Mu finally decided to look for some work for himself.

He brought up his system panel.

[Points: 832]
He had over eight hundred points again.

It was the legacy of his last episode on the show.

But without a regular income, he couldn’t dare to do an eight-streak draw like before and spend all his points in one go.

The system’s lottery would check his current needs.

Keeping some points for emergencies might just help him through tough times.

“Let’s start with a single draw and see if I can get something good.”
