Chapter 28
And the next second.
Chen Mo also began to sing.
The long, slow years are hard to endure in this life’s changes.
Like floating clouds gathering and scattering, entangling this weary face of vicissitudes.
After hearing Chen Mo’s voice, both the audience below and the guests backstage wore looks of surprise.
To say his voice was heaven-sent might be an exaggeration.
But Chen Mo’s voice was very clean—purely clean!
That youthful, crisp child’s voice, paired with the contrast formed by the lyrics, made the audience’s eyes light up!
Then, Chen Mo and Anita Mui sang one line each.
Soon, the song ended...
Immediately, applause accompanied by screams resounded throughout the Hong Kong Coliseum venue...
"Encore! Encore!"
"Encore!"
Listening to the audience’s cheers, the system’s voice suddenly rang in Chen Mo’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for your first stage performance. Achievement 'Stage Newcomer' unlocked. Reward: one system lottery chance.]
Five minutes later...
Chen Mo returned backstage from the stage.
After arriving backstage, Chen Mo saw everyone looking at him with surprised eyes.
"Little guy, Mui said before that you had talent, but I didn't expect you to be this amazing."
Leslie Cheung walked up to Chen Mo with a smile and reached out to rub Chen Mo’s head.
Chen Mo chuckled.
The concert continued...
Having been on stage, Chen Mo did not go up again for the rest of the time and stayed backstage.
Taking advantage of the time backstage, Chen Mo moved his mind to activate the lottery chance he had just obtained.
"Start lottery."
[Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Intermediate Guitar Skills.]
Guitar skills?
Chen Mo pondered for a moment and felt it was quite good.
After another two hours or so, the concert finally ended.
Anita Mui, having returned backstage from the stage, wore a look of exhaustion on her face.
Then she saw Chen Mo had already fallen asleep in a chair.
After all, the concert had gone on so late, and Chen Mo was just a child. Although he had abundant energy, he was still just a child, so he couldn't hold out and had fallen asleep right in the chair.
Looking at Chen Mo like this, a look of heartache appeared on Anita Mui’s face.
The next day, major media and newspapers in Xiangjiang published reports on Anita Mui’s concert from the previous day.
"Anita Mui’s Concert! Guest Lineup!"
"Still Explosive! The Number One Sister of the Music Scene!"
"Cutest Child Star Appears! A Different Song of the Sunset!"
"A Clean Voice! A Combination of Two Different Styles!"
At the "Shaolin Popey" filming set, Anita Mui drove Chen Mo there.
"Little Momo, Sister has some things to handle today. I'll be over later. You play with the uncles and aunties from the crew first, okay?"
"Mm, okay, Sister Mui."
Chen Mo nodded obediently.
Then Anita Mui left.
After Anita Mui left, people from the crew walked over one after another.
Among them, a young girl, not very old, with fair skin, long straight black hair, and a pure yet alluring look, smiled and held Chen Mo in her arms.
Kissing Chen Mo’s cheek with her pink lips, the girl smiled. "Little Momo, you were so great yesterday!"
The girl was the originator of the pure-allure style in the nineties, Hsu Ruoxuan.
"Sister was at the concert yesterday?"
Feeling the moisture left on his cheek, Chen Mo asked.
"Mm, yeah. Sister Mui is my idol. When Sister Mui comes later, can you help me get an autograph from her?"
As Hsu Ruoxuan said this, her eyes were full of anticipation.
At this time, Hsu Ruoxuan was not yet famous; she was just a pure newcomer who had just debuted after participating in a talent show.
"Sure."
Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
"Hee hee, thank you, little brother."
Hsu Ruoxuan said, pursing her lips again to imprint them on Chen Mo’s cheek.
Feeling the saliva left on his cheek, Chen Mo suddenly thought that this face of his had already been kissed by quite a few celebrities.
Yang Qiong, Sister Pomegranate, Ye Quan, Chen Hui, Anita Mui, etc...
Could he apply for a Guinness World Record in the future?
The face kissed by the most female stars in the world?
Thinking of this, Chen Mo shook his head secretly. Why was he thinking about such messy things?
"Prepare to film!"
Just then, the assistant director’s voice came from not far away.
Hearing the voice, Hsu Ruoxuan hurriedly held Chen Mo and walked toward that side.
At the same time...
Anita Mui had driven to the airport.
After putting on sunglasses and a mask, Anita Mui got out of the car, and before long, she met Chen Fu and Chen Mu, who had returned from Jingcheng.
"Sister Mui, it’s really a bother for you to come and pick us up. We could have just taken a taxi to the set."
Chen Mu hurriedly smiled.
"It’s no trouble. Coming to pick you up is just right for us to have a chat."
Anita Mui smiled.
"Let’s get in the car first."
"Okay..."
As she said this, Anita Mui, Chen Fu, and Chen Mu got into the car.
After the car drove away from the airport, Chen Mu asked, "Sister Mui, it’s really been a bother for you to look after Momo during this time."
"It’s no trouble. Momo is so well-behaved, I like him a lot."
"By the way, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, actually there is something I want to discuss with you."
"Mm, please go ahead."
"Momo has great talent in singing, and he also has a natural sense for the stage. He is someone who can handle big scenes, so I want to take Momo as my apprentice."
Anita Mui said.
Originally, Anita Mui had wanted to adopt Chen Mo as her godson, but after thinking about it, she decided to take Chen Mo as her apprentice instead.
You have to know that at this time, especially in a place like Xiangjiang, taking an apprentice isn't just a simple matter of calling each other apprentice or master.
It requires holding an apprenticeship banquet!
