Chapter 441: The One Who Moved Chu Mo's Heart - 2
Chu Mo suddenly felt incredibly lucky!
He was grateful that fate had allowed him to meet such a treasure of a girl,
he was grateful to have persisted in fulfilling her dream, allowing her to sing such a song.
He was grateful to be one of the few who could appreciate such heavenly music.
...
At this moment, Chu Mo's blood boiled, his heartbeat raced like a deer, and as his breathing grew heavier, his eyes remained fixated on the big screen in front of him without blinking.
The grand fish, brimming with an air of ancient and rustic charm, swayed its tail and gradually swam toward the horizon, and amidst the faintly sad melody, the scene transitioned once more.
On the opposite side of the golden shoreline lay a lush forest, numerous ancient and tall trees stood upright, and as if called by the song, the entire forest grew deathly silent.
As the scenes progressed layer by layer, at the edge of the vast forest, where the sea met the sky, a figure that could topple nations and cities stood silently.
She was like a fairy from a painting, resplendently beautiful!
"...
Watching you fly away, watching you leave me
You were born belonging to the horizon
Every tear flows towards you
Flowing back to our very first meeting
...!"
The divine singing gradually faded from his ears.
In the distance, where the sea meets the sky, numerous fish, just like they arrived, slowly disappeared from view as silhouettes.
The golden sun completely rose into the sky, and in the boundless distance, the ancient call of the grand fish was heard once again!
"Moo...!"
For some reason, this voice filled with ancient vicissitude seemed to carry an inescapable sadness, not of desolation, but a kind of loneliness that emanated from the depths of the heart.
When the last echo of the song vanished into the horizon.
The image finally froze on the face of the woman with flowing hair, whose beauty could spell the downfall of cities.
Her eyes were like dazzling starry skies, pure and flawless.
This girl, she truly was a fairy.
...
When everything ended, it seemed as though everyone in the hall hadn't yet recovered from the shock they had just experienced, whether it was the dozen or so maids or Chu Mo himself, everyone had a dazed look on their faces.
Like puppets with their souls extracted, no one made a sound, and even less so did anyone wish to break this beautiful serenity.
After a while, Chu Mo, who had been breathing softly, finally woke from his trance. At that moment, he suddenly understood the sentiments of the great director Lin Hua. Chu Mo had always thought that as the top director in the country, Lin Hua had invited Yu Junjun to be the heroine of his next film only because of the favor he owed to him, the behind-the-scenes boss.
But now, after seeing Yu Junjun in this MV and her performance in front of the camera, Chu Mo truly understood that Lin Hua, as a famous domestic director, was not swayed by his face, but had truly recognized Yu Junjun's acting talent.
Suddenly, Chu Mo remembered six months ago when Shi Yuan Entertainment had just been established. The strongest trainee, Ding Qian, had shot a promotional video for Shi Yuan Entertainment. With Ding Qian's ninety-nine points of near-perfect beauty and the joint backing of all of Shi Yuan Entertainment's resources, her short film had made a huge impact.
It was that video that made Ding Qian widely noticed and also gained her a host of fans.
Although in terms of pure looks, Yu Junjun might be slightly less stunning than Ding Qian, the MV she shot right now is definitely not inferior in quality.
Chu Mo estimated that if he posted this MV online, it would probably cause quite a stir immediately, and it would also attract a significant number of fans for Yu Junjun.
However, unfortunately, although Yu Junjun also has a dream of stardom, her personal status and her family's influence would never allow her to enter the entertainment industry. Moreover, as the young lady of Shanghai's Yu family, Yu Junjun didn't need to worry about her future. Shooting MVs was simply her personal hobby, and it would never be her career.
Chu Mo looked at the girl with the misty expression and long hair beside him, and suddenly he spoke:
"There's a multimedia room upstairs, and I wonder if I might have the honor of having Yu the star sing a song in person. That song 'Big Fish' was really too good."
As Chu Mo's words rang out, everyone in the hall snapped out of their recent shock. Chu Mo even saw the maid Xiao Lingling stealthily wiping tears from the corner of her eyes; apparently, the little maid had been truly immersed in the video just now.
Someone immediately packed up the projector in front of them, and the head maid drew back the curtains, while the butler ordered someone to open the doors, and once again the hall was bright.
Chu Mo smiled at the long-haired girl in front of him, his eyes full of anticipation.
After taking a light breath, as if also shaken by the video just now, the girl finally regained her composure. She looked earnestly into Chu Mo's eyes, then with a smile at the corner of her mouth, she said:
"I definitely can't sing as well as in the MV!"
"It doesn't matter. I just want to hear Miss Yu sing live for me. I think I should be the first person to receive such treatment, and that's enough for me!"
Upon hearing this, the girl who had been silent for a moment gently lifted a lock of hair from her ear, and after a moment, the girl with a smiling mouth gently nodded her head.
The group took the elevator straight to the third floor. As the host, Chu Mo introduced the entire villa to the other party along the way.
"This is the study where I write articles. This is the gym, over there is the swimming room. Oh, and the water in the swimming pool is temperature-controlled, so you can swim indoors even now...!"
Upon entering the multipurpose room, colorful lights were turned on, instantly creating an atmosphere akin to being in a bar. Chu Mo found that, unlike usual, the little maids didn't respectfully leave but looked expectantly at the long-haired girl.
A hint of amusement arose in Chu Mo's heart. He knew that these little maids wanted to hear Yu Junjun sing live as well, because the recent MV had been too shocking, and Yu Junjun's sweet and ethereal voice was as good as any king or queen of songs.
Yu Junjun wasn't a professional singer, so to these little maids, missing this listening opportunity would mean they probably would never get to hear such heavenly singing again.
Chu Mo didn't interfere too much. He quietly sat on the soft sofa, and as the long-haired girl sat beside him, he could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.
It wasn't the strong scent of perfume, but rather a light fragrance like that of being in a sea of flowers, a heart-filling aroma when taking a deep breath.
The distance between them was no more than a fist's width. Even a slight movement could cause their shoulders to touch. This was the first time Chu Mo had come so close to her, and a faint feeling of happiness arose in his heart again.
"I don't sing well... don't regret it later!"
Perhaps it was the presence of so many people, but the long-haired girl seemed a bit shy. She leaned close to his ear to speak, and as she did, a faint hint of mint fragrance wafted to his nose.
The sweet breath spread through his entire body like a warm current, and in just an instant, Chu Mo felt a surge of happiness within him.
At such a close distance, they could even smell each other's breath. Chu Mo discovered for the first time that there was a small beauty mark on the girl's nose tip.
However, this beauty mark didn't detract from her loveliness at all; instead, it added a touch of youthful charm to the long-haired girl.
At this moment, Chu Mo had no concern about how enchanting her singing might be. Just being able to sit so close next to her was already the happiest thing in the world. He turned his face slightly, speaking to the girl:
"As long as it's you singing, I'll like it no matter what!"
It was just a light remark, but the girl beside him blushed again, biting her red lips. Then, holding the microphone, she began to sing, her sweet voice instantly echoing in his ears.
At that moment, Chu Mo felt he had his answer.
The person he had been looking for all along was the girl beside him.
