Chapter 501: Chapter 500 Boring and Uninteresting
Recently, because Su Mu hadn’t been looking for her, Xia Shuya naturally had no opportunity to tell Su Mu about these things.
Xia Shuya had thought that if Su Mu had time to see her, she would of course want to tell Su Mu these things in person.
In Xia Shuya’s opinion, this was also a manifestation of her attachment to Su Mu.
Unfortunately, Su Mu did not show any sign of giving Xia Shuya such an opportunity.
Having no other choice, Xia Shuya could only seize this chance to tell Su Mu about it through WeChat.
Xia Shuya feared that if she didn’t say it this time, she wouldn’t know when she would have another opportunity to tell Su Mu about this matter.
Xia Shuya did not hide from Su Mu the fact that she would have to start as a backup dancer after moving to Wudong City.
In Xia Shuya’s view, this was also a sacrifice she made for Su Mu, and naturally, she had to let Su Mu know.
Xia Shuya wasn’t telling Su Mu expecting any compensation from him.
Xia Shuya simply wanted to indirectly make Su Mu feel her affection for him.
Of course, Xia Shuya didn’t dare to use the word "love."
Even though the current Xia Shuya truly loved Su Mu, she still didn’t dare to say it out loud.
Their relationship had not begun with love from the start.
Xia Shuya didn’t know if saying the word "love" would put an end to their relationship.
From Su Mu’s behavior, Xia Shuya knew that he didn’t care about her feelings.
It might be because Su Mu already had a girlfriend.
Su Mu really didn’t care about the word "love" when it came to Xia Shuya.
However, Su Mu did see the meaning Xia Shuya wanted to express.
What was different was that Su Mu saw a trace of "grievance" Xia Shuya showed in front of him, as she talked about going to Wudong City.
Su Mu, of course, did not realize that Xia Shuya’s display of grievance was her way of showing how much she cared about him.
She cared so much that she was willing to give up being the star of Huadong City Dance Troupe to become a backup dancer for Su Mu at the Wu Dong City Dance Troupe.
Su Mu felt that Xia Shuya’s "grievance" was her way of asking for recognition for her actions.
Acting on the principle of balance, Su Mu naturally had to make some "compensation" to Xia Shuya in some way.
"She’s a clever one," Su Mu said with a corner of his mouth lifted in a smile.
Su Mu thought this was Xia Shuya’s way of securing the greatest benefits for herself.
But it didn’t matter, for the small requests Xia Shuya had, Su Mu found them effortless to fulfill.
Only, Su Mu didn’t want Xia Shuya to think that she had to follow him to Wudong City.
Su Mu disliked the feeling of being "watched" and expected to give "favors."
One could only say that Su Mu had already made up his mind about Xia Shuya from the very beginning.
Their relationship was based solely on mutual needs and would not involve any personal emotions.
Su Mu naturally didn’t mind giving appropriate favors.
But Su Mu also did not want Xia Shuya to think that following him to Wudong City was such a huge sacrifice on her part.
That Su Mu must take responsibility for Xia Shuya’s actions in the same way.
"If you don’t want to go to Wudong City, then there’s no need to go; if you feel being a backup dancer is beneath you, then just make the most of your talent at Huadong City Dance Troupe."
Su Mu had suggested that Xia Shuya move to Wudong City.
On one hand, he found Xia Shuya to be very obedient and didn’t mind her following him there.
On the other hand, Su Mu had heard from Xia Shuya herself that she was exceptionally talented in dance.
If she was talented, why would she care about changing cities?
It couldn’t be that changing cities would stop her from dancing, could it?
Su Mu also believed that if Xia Shuya went to Wudong City, given time to prove herself, it was not impossible for her to become the backbone of the Wudong City Dance Troupe.
Besides, it was Xia Shuya’s utter dependence and reluctance to part from Su Mu that had prompted him to make the suggestion.
If Xia Shuya now felt that moving to Wudong City was a grievance, Su Mu thought there was no need for her to go through such trouble.
Su Mu never liked to coerce anyone.
And Xia Shuya was certainly no exception.
In Su Mu’s view, Xia Shuya’s "little cleverness" was a bit too shallow to be taken seriously.
"No, that’s not what I meant, I don’t feel aggrieved, not at all."
"Su Mu, as long as I can be by your side, even if I can only be a minor dancer for life, I won’t feel aggrieved."
Seeing Su Mu’s message, Xia Shuya panicked.
Xia Shuya had wanted to let Su Mu know of her true feelings for him.
To show Su Mu the extent to which she, Xia Shuya, would go for him.
She was even willing to give up being the star of the dance troupe, just for the sake of being with him.
Xia Shuya simply wanted Su Mu to remember her fondly, hoping Su Mu wouldn’t cruelly abandon her once he grew tired of her.
But Xia Shuya had not anticipated that her message would lead to a misunderstanding with Su Mu.
Xia Shuya didn’t know what Su Mu had specifically misunderstood.
But from Su Mu’s message, Xia Shuya understood that he must have taken the meaning of her words in a negative way.
Xia Shuya knew that now wasn’t the time to find out exactly what Su Mu had misconstrued.
For Xia Shuya, the most important thing was to make her stance clear to Su Mu.
Extremely anxious, Xia Shuya’s typing speed increased significantly.
Without waiting for Su Mu to reply, Xia Shuya sent her messages one after another.
Xia Shuya knew she had to explain herself clearly, because if Su Mu became displeased and blocked her, she would lose any chance to set things right.
"Su Mu, I didn’t mean anything by what I said, I just wanted to tell you the whole situation."
"Su Mu, I’ve gotten in touch with the people in Wudong City, and I’ll go sign the contract with the dance troupe in the next few days when I’m free."
"Su Mu, please don’t misunderstand, okay? I will be good and obey."
"I promise, I won’t bring up the dance troupe in front of you ever again."
Fearing that her messages might not all get sent, Xia Shuya didn’t pause for a moment as she sent these very important messages one after another.
Xia Shuya knew that being able to clarify things with Su Mu was a crucial point that could determine whether their relationship could continue.
If she couldn’t make things clear and ended up making Su Mu dislike her, Xia Shuya would truly be devastated to the point of fainting in the bathroom.
Because Xia Shuya had sent those messages with the original intention of expressing her care for him.
Xia Shuya certainly didn’t want to end up with such a consequence.
Seeing that all the messages she had sent on WeChat went through as normal, Xia Shuya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had sent the message, but Su Mu seemed to have no reaction to the many messages she had bombarded him with.
Xia Shuya’s brief sigh of relief was abruptly hoisted up again.
If Su Mu didn’t accept her explanation, Xia Shuya knew that sending any more messages would be pointless.
Could it be that the rumors circulated by the dance troupe had not been true to begin with, but now, because of her contrived messages, they were about to become reality?
Xia Shuya truly felt that she had "acted" out of line now.
Going to Wudong City was originally her own wish to stay by Su Mu’s side, and that was why he had made that proposal.
After all, no matter how outstanding you were in your previous dance troupe, you have to start from scratch when you join a new one.
That’s the way the industry works, and there’s nothing to complain about.
Of course, there is a special case where the dance troupe headhunts you as a special talent, and then, of course, things are calculated differently.
Unfortunately, this time Xia Shuya had taken the initiative to contact the Wudong City Dance Troupe.
As someone who wanted to make a move on her own, it was already quite good of the Wudong City Dance Troupe not to make her observe for a while first.
They were being considerate only because of the awards Xia Shuya had won before.
Xia Shuya was well aware of this standard procedure in her heart.
In fact, Xia Shuya didn’t need to explain all this to Su Mu.
As far as Xia Shuya was concerned, as long as she could stay by Su Mu’s side, even if she had to be a backup dancer for the rest of her life, it wouldn’t matter.
There was not a shred of exaggeration in the message Xia Shuya had just sent to Su Mu.
It truly reflected the most honest thoughts in her heart.
As a dance performer, her career was essentially sustained by her youth.
Xia Shuya also knew that if she stayed in Huadong City, she would one day be replaced by newcomers.
Hadn’t she herself replaced the former mainstay of the dance troupe and become the new pillar?
So, this was a topic that didn’t even need to be mentioned.
However, Xia Shuya felt that by telling Su Mu everything, she could show him how much she cared and valued him.
Xia Shuya thought that Su Mu should be able to see that between her favorite activity, dancing, and Su Mu, she would choose Su Mu without hesitation.
Wasn’t this also a form of indirect confession?
Unfortunately, Su Mu didn’t see Xia Shuya’s little scheme.
In Su Mu’s view, Xia Shuya was "seeking credit".
Wasn’t Xia Shuya just trying to tell him that for the sake of going to Wudong City with him, she gave up being the star of the dance troupe?
Instead, she ran off to be a backup dancer for someone else’s Wudong City Dance Troupe?
In Su Mu’s opinion, it’s not bad for a girl to be clever.
But if that cleverness turned into cunning, it would make Su Mu feel that something was off.
However, seeing that Xia Shuya had suddenly sent so many messages at once, Su Mu realized that Xia Shuya’s words may not have been driven by cunning.
Su Mu felt that Xia Shuya’s "seeking credit" was probably to prove her care for him.
Although Su Mu had no feelings for Xia Shuya,
seeing her eagerness to show her concern for him, Su Mu still found himself smiling.
For Su Mu, as long as Xia Shuya was obedient enough, he was still willing to keep her by his side.
Of course, if Xia Shuya wanted to stay by Su Mu’s side, she had to be very, very conscientious.
Su Mu knew that Xia Shuya should be able to do this.
Anyway, as far as he could see, Xia Shuya didn’t seem to have any ambition.
"Understood, let me know once you’ve got all the paperwork sorted out."
Su Mu didn’t even need to think about it and replied to Xia Shuya in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Okay, then I won’t disturb your rest anymore, good night."
It was as if she feared Su Mu might change his mind, say something about not letting her go to Wu Dong City or the like.
Having received Su Mu’s response, at least in Xia Shuya’s view, Su Mu’s reply was an affirmative one.
Xia Shuya didn’t dare delay a second before bidding Su Mu good night.
It wasn’t that Xia Shuya didn’t want to chat with Su Mu a bit more.
For Xia Shuya, the recent times Su Mu hadn’t sought her out felt painfully long.
Deep down, Xia Shuya certainly wished to have a good talk with Su Mu and foster some emotional connection.
Even if they couldn’t meet, Xia Shuya felt it would be good to chat more with Su Mu on WeChat.
Aren’t there many long-distance couples maintaining their feelings through phones and computers nowadays?
Xia Shuya thought if she could communicate with Su Mu on WeChat like other young couples, touch base on their feelings, it would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, Xia Shuya now didn’t dare to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Now, all Xia Shuya hoped for was that Su Mu wouldn’t say anything on WeChat about not wanting her or the like.
As for the rest, Xia Shuya felt that given her relationship with Su Mu, it was more suitable to develop feelings in real life.
Their bond wasn’t that of an ordinary boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
The "feelings" between Xia Shuya and Su Mu could only be strengthened in real life.
Seeing Xia Shuya hastily saying "good night," Su Mu also felt it was somewhat uninteresting.
He didn’t reply, of course, knowing full well there was no need to.
"Good night" said by one, "Good night" replied by the other – such a pattern really wasn’t suited for the relationship between Su Mu and Xia Shuya.
Not feeling sleepy, Su Mu opened his Moments and browsed it idly.
Most of them were photos from his high school classmates showing off their wealthy summer vacations.
Well, Huadong City International Middle School was a noble school after all, so wasn’t it quite normal for these rich kids to show off their wealth?
Su Mu seemed to have forgotten that he was a rich kid too, a very, very rich kid at that.
But it seemed like Su Mu had never posted such show-off Moments.
Perhaps in Su Mu’s subconscious, such Moments were truly boring.
To Su Mu, it was something he simply disdained to do.
Since he disdained to do it himself, Su Mu, of course, found those classmates’ Moments, which they thought very impressive, utterly tasteless.
After browsing for a while, Su Mu noticed that Four Eyes had posted a photo of his date today with the girl from behind.
Of course, the girl from behind continued to live up to her name.
Four Eyes hadn’t posted a frontal photo of Li Minli.
Perhaps due to some consideration.
