This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 12 - Heavenly Queen
Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Heavenly Queen
"I finally found an excuse while drunk."
"To express all my feelings."
A voice, soft as a whisper, rose with the sound of the piano.
Their faces, still wearing nonchalant expressions, suddenly stiffened, inexplicably feeling as though someone was gripping their hearts tightly.
In Wu Mu's mind, images of him and Liu Lan slowly surfaced.
"I don't want you to dine with that man; he has ill intentions."
"Haha, baby, are you jealous? Don't worry, I only like you."
...
"I haven't seen you in so long; I miss you so much."
"Hehe, isn't it about making money? Without money, how can I make you a global superstar?"
"I don't want to be any global superstar; I just want to be with you."
"I love seeing you shine on stage, baby. Of course, we will always be together."

"Why are your eyes red? Have you been crying? Who bullied you!"
"It's none of your business."
"I'm worried about you! What exactly happened?"
"I said it's none of your business, so it's none of your business. Hey, can you stop being so clingy? It's disgusting, you understand? Forget it, you don't get it anyway. I won't come this week; just think it over by yourself."
"...I'm sorry."
...
"Who indulges whom, who shall first relinquish freedom."
"It's always me in the end."
"Dangling between your cold fervor."
"Invaded completely yet forced to accept with a smile."
Still, with a deep voice, the audience felt an intensifying suffocation as they watched Wu Mu who seemed to be standing not on stage but beneath it, looking upward.
"I envy the might of your love."
"Like a Heavenly Queen whose popularity never wanes."
"What you want is not me but vanity."
"Being cherished makes one seem outstanding."
The lyrics suddenly exploded, but everyone felt anything but relieved; instead, they felt more oppressed.
This was not a release; this was self-mockery.
Wu Mu's gaze drifted, as if the humble boy stood right in front of him now.
He's smart; he's sober. He knew he was controlled in the name of love; occasionally, he grieved about living so humbly, but without her, it seemed there would be no last glimmer of light in his life, right?
That was the last straw holding onto his life, wishing he could pull her along, to live on a bright-lit shore with her.
Unfortunately, that glimmer eventually vanished.
"Do you have a husband?"
"So what if I do?"
"Was it a lie when you said you'd be with me forever?"
"Wu Mu, how old are you to believe in forever? Okay, stop bothering me. I have more troubles here. If you can accept that, then do. If not, just forget it."
...
"I envy the might of your love."
"Like a Heavenly Queen whose popularity never wanes."
The song moved to the chorus; Wu Mu's voice was a bit higher but still devoid of relief, only filled with painful struggle.
He suddenly remembered the last scene in the world.
He lay on the bathroom floor, letting the crimson liquid engulf him, letting the cold darkness pull him step by step.
His gaze fixed on the tea cabinet in the living room—that's where his mother had collapsed, lying there slowly being consumed by these cold liquids.
He thought he had forgotten, but he realized he actually remembered all along.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and just before completely succumbing to the darkness, he seemed to cry out...
"Mom."
...
"If one day love no longer confuses,"
"enough to see all the rights and wrongs clearly,"
"until then, you in my heart,"
"will no longer be sung."
"To regard you as the Heavenly Queen,"
"will no longer be me."
Wu Mu slowly put down the microphone, his face streaming with what could not be distinguished as either sweat or tears.
The audience just watched him with their mouths slightly open.
It seemed as if they really saw, saw a helpless struggling soul, saw a boy who groped in the dark in the world, always striving towards the light, only to be ultimately devoured.
The venue was dead silent.
Suddenly, someone sobbed loudly, resoundingly distinct in the quiet venue.
Then they heard a loud cry, laced with sobs.
"Wu Mu, I love you!"
"I will always be with you, don't go!"
Caught in his emotions and unable to extricate himself, Wu Mu was startled by the voice.
He looked at the cute girl below the stage with tears streaming down her face and laughed, "Where would I go? The show isn't over yet."
This laugh completely broke the oppressive atmosphere in the venue, and the audience slowly came back to their senses, then many realized that they, too, had tears streaming down their faces without knowing when it started.
Crying from just a song?
Everyone quickly wiped their faces, muttering phrases like, "Holy shit, Wu Mu can really sing" and "His song has quite the feel," to cover their embarrassment.
After cleaning up the tear stains on their faces, they finally felt like discussing other things.
"How has Wu Mu's singing improved so much? Wasn't his performance last time terrible?"
"It's a bit exaggerated. Just now, listening to his singing, I really felt like crying."
"The emotion in the song is too strong. Was this song written for that woman?"
"Yeah, I kind of really believe he's in love now. Going for money, how could he have such strong feelings?"
The audience felt their impressions were being overturned.
Was this the same Wu Mu who performed terribly in the last episode?
Everyone wondered if they were still half-asleep.
But overturn is overturn, the scoring was still merciless.
In the following scoring segment, Wu Mu scored 678 points.
"What? Are you kidding, just over six hundred?"
Wu Mu, still not off the stage, was speechless.
"How could you dare to give me this score, does it do justice to the song I just sang?"
Although this score was over four hundred points higher than his last performance, how could it compare to the quality of what he just sang!
Didn't these people feel guilty giving such a score!
Below the stage, his fan Zhang Li's face showed slight embarrassment; she had just given a low score.
Honestly, given the quality of the song, a one-star rating was definitely too harsh.
But whenever she thought about how the song was written for that sugar daddy who sponsored him, and how deeply emotional it was, she felt upset.
Plus, she was also trying to cover her own inner embarrassment... she was the one who had just shouted out.
Thinking that she had boldly stood up and shouted her love for Wu Mu, her face flushed with a wave of heat.
She had really lost her head, doing such a thing over a song.
And she was still a hardcore anti-fan of Wu Mu, yet ended up declaring her love on the show.
"I can't blame myself, it was really the heat of the moment, this bastard sang as if he was about to commit suicide, I just couldn't help myself."
She excused herself in her mind.
After the scoring, Wu Mu left the stage, only to find his partner's eyes red as a rabbit's.
Wu Mu was stunned for a moment, "Professor Mo Mo, isn't this a bit much, crying like this?"
Mo Mo, embarrassed and with some sobs yet to cease, replied, "Couldn't help it."
