Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 369: Breathtaking

In that era, even psychology wasn’t well known, let alone counseling and psychotherapy. However, just because these terms didn’t exist, it didn’t mean that there weren’t related problems. Since Xiao Wu had some ideas, Mu Jingzhe would tell him what she knew.

By interacting with others, Xiao Wu could understand what Mu Jingzhe was talking about.

Then, the final of the international music competition officially began. Another large group of famous musicians flocked to the country, attracting a lot of attention. Before this, although the competition had been broadcast domestically, very few other countries had actually broadcasted it. However, this time, many national television stations and radio stations came to broadcast the competition.

When contestants from their own country were participating in the competition, the media outlets of that country would try their best to obtain the rights to broadcast it.

Many people came to interact with Xiao Wu and get to know him. If Xiao Wu spoke their language, he would communicate with them himself. Even if he didn’t, there would be translators present.

Onlooker Conan: “…”

Conan was furious. Why couldn’t Xiao Wu understand their country’s language? Conan had also found a translator, but he was really unhappy that he couldn’t communicate with Xiao Wu in person. He had worked hard to learn Mandarin, but because Mandarin was too difficult, his learning speed was slow and he couldn’t understand it at all.

In the past, Conan used to be very proud and had even questioned Xiao Wu on the spot. However, after learning about Xiao Wu’s music and even personally testing it, this proud youth was completely subdued.

Little geniuses were like that. They were proud internally, but if they met someone more powerful, they would be convinced. This was the case for Conan as well.

He had apologized to Xiao Wu long ago, and Xiao Wu had forgiven him, but that wasn’t enough. He even wanted to be friends with Xiao Wu and exchange more knowledge with him.

However… many people came to interact with Xiao Wu, wanting to be acquainted with him! As soon as Xiao Wu went out, there seemed to be people around him. Older sisters and brothers also surrounded Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was very happy because he had met many impressive people there. He got along well with them and felt that he had learned a lot after interacting with them.

Soon, the final officially started. There was a total of twenty people, including the top ten contestants that had emerged from the preliminary round. Not a single one of these twenty people was simple. There were also contestants who had already made a name for themselves and who joined subsequently. There was a lot to see.

They could have been judges in another competition, but they had chosen to come to this competition to compete because of Xiao Wu.

Now that the standard of the contestants had been elevated, they invited judges that were even more heavyweight. When the competition started, there was another round of introductions and performances. Xiao Wu listened with relish. The theme was only announced at the end.

The rules of the final were similar to those of the preliminary round. Due to the influence that Xiao Wu had previously, the theme that was announced this time was very direct—their music had to relieve pain.

This theme was somewhat similar to the warmth and healing theme. It was unexpected, but not entirely so either. This was due to the miracle that Xiao Wu had worked previously. They wanted to see how far music could go.

When the theme was broadcast, many people started to look forward to the performances. The participants also started taking action, and most of them went to the hospital.

There were sick people in the hospital, and although they weren’t sure if the music would work on them, they wanted to try in their own way.

Xiao Wu also took action. His actions received a lot of attention, not only from the judges and the contestants but also from the audience. However, he didn’t go to the hospital this time. The place he visited made everyone feel a little uncertain. There was no pattern, and nobody knew what he wanted to do.

Like before, they were given three days to prepare and they had to perform on the fourth day. Three days passed quickly. Soon, the fourth day came. Xiao Wu’s assisting performer was still Ji Buwang, but another person was added. It was a local contestant who had been eliminated previously.

This contestant was very outstanding in all aspects and was even better than Xiao Wu in certain aspects. However, his mental fortitude was average. He would get nervous on stage and wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure, so his performance was very average. However, if many people went on stage to perform and he wasn’t the protagonist, he would exceed his usual performance.

He felt that he should be an assisting performer for Xiao Wu since he could truly showcase his skills that way. Besides, he was very fond of Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu liked this older brother very much. He felt that Xiao Wu was very impressive. Therefore, he decided to collaborate with him.

No one knew if Xiao Wu was really lucky or if everything had been arranged this way, but he was scheduled to perform last.

Anyone who could enter the final was unique. These performances were much more exciting than the preliminary round. Everyone had different ways of relieving pain, so everyone gave their own answer.

Some of the contestants’ music made people want to cry, and crying was also a way to relieve pressure and pain. Everyone present was very moved. Some of the contestants were very warm, which also had an alleviating effect on pain. There were also some contestants who took another approach and used very irritable music filled with screams to alleviate pain.

This was unprecedented and innovative, as screaming could indeed relieve pain. During the performance, the lights were turned off, making people feel safer in the dark. As a result, people couldn’t help but shout along. In the end, it felt very gratifying.

The performance hall, which could hold 10,000 people, seemed to be filled with cries. Later on, they could even scream and shout. It was highly novel but it also indirectly showed the competitor’s strength. Xiao Wu and Mu Jingzhe were among the people who were shocked.

Mu Jingzhe shouted along as well. After shouting, she felt a lot less depressed.

It wasn’t a bad idea to cry and shout to one’s heart’s content.

The radio listeners who had been listening to the broadcast this entire time were also shocked. Many wailing and howling sounds were heard on the streets, and all the listeners felt that it was worth it.

However, they were also worried for Xiao Wu. These people were very impressive. Could Xiao Wu do it? He was so young after all.

After everyone vented and their emotions reached their peak, Xiao Wu finally went on stage. The people who had finished performing also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

In the end, they heard an ear-piercing sound right from the start. It was very short, but it was really uncomfortable. It made them feel frustrated and depressed.

No one had expected his music to be like this. Instead of relieving one’s pain, it made one hurt even more. Everyone frowned. But at that moment, the music style suddenly changed. The thumping sound of the drums elevated one’s mood all of a sudden. It encouraged one’s heart and gave one an inexplicable sense of courage, making one want to summon the courage to resist.

Everyone felt a sense of relief, as if they had defeated an enemy or a difficult opponent. As their hearts were afire, the music eased up as if it were whispering in their ears, softly comforting them and encouraging them. If the first part of the music was a storm, then the subsequent part was a drizzle that slowly soothed one’s wounds.

It was as if one had returned to their childhood, where they could run into their mother’s arms to be comforted when they felt aggrieved. In the end, it felt as though they had all regained their energy.

After their initial frustration, everyone’s hearts were subconsciously moved. They kept following the music, frowning, clenching their fists, and resisting readily until they eventually felt comforted. They felt like their hearts had opened up. Many of them even had tears in their eyes, but the corners of their mouths were curled up in a relaxed smile.
