Although it was once a viral hit just like other catchy tunes, unlike "Love Like Fire" or "Subject Three," which had a somewhat abstract and bewitching feel, the lyrics of "Courage Explodes" are very simple, straightforward, and pure. It's easy to sing along to, making it the perfect heartwarming children's song for any time.
The dance routine for the song is very simple as well. Fang You gave just a few pointers, and Xia Nuo's rendition of the dance was barely distinguishable from the original, even cuter and more childlike in Fang You's eyes.
After all, there's a whole different feeling when you watch a 5-year-old with chubby little legs dance compared to a 10-year-old!
Xia Nuo, along with Luo Xianyu and Asai Reina, were excitedly waving to everyone with an OKgo.
"Courage, explode!"
"Kids, do you know what OKgo means?"
Xia Nuo's voice was as clear and vibrant as that of a skylark, full of vitality, "OKgo means... the courage to go forth boldly!"
"She called me a kid!"
"It's always better to watch other people's kids, so cute!"
"This might seem a bit childish for kids, but for adults, it's just perfect..."
"Work stress is real; we should watch more of these cheerful song and dance performances. Coming to the dome with my girlfriend today was totally worth it."
"What do you mean? You mean you didn't want to come here?"
"Ah, no, no, that's not what I meant... I came to see Meng Zifan with you, didn't I? And the tickets are so expensive—"
"My brother is definitely worth the price of admission!"
The three little ones from Xia Nuo's group finished their performance with super energetic dance moves.
Once the dance was over, Luo Xianyu finally realized there were so many, so many, so many people on stage!
Ayu's held breath finally caught up with her!
In the midst of roaring cheers, she became dizzy and hid behind Xia Nuo, shivering, while Xia Nuo touched Ayu's head, "Ayu, sweetie, don't be scared!"
Honestly, Ling Nai was also witnessing such a grand performance for the first time. But seeing Luo Xianyu beside her so nervous to death, she felt relatively less uneasy.
Hmph, inexperienced little Ayu.
So weak, so weak, it's just unlike Nuo!
"Alright, welcome to the three lovely kids who have given us such a wonderful performance."
Uncle Da Dong stepped forward with a smile and said, "Today, our little Nuo Nuo has brought something very special, with two cute friends joining the fun. Could you introduce yourselves to everyone?"
Uncle Da Dong crouched down, passing the microphone to Asai Reina.
How, how come Ling Nai is first!
Caught off guard, Asai Reina!
Asai Reina leaned into the microphone:
"Hello everyone, my name is Asai Reina, and I am six years old! I really love dressing up, and pretty ski... skirts!"
Ah! Oh no!
Xia Nuo took the conversation forward, "I'm truly, truly grateful to these two friends of mine for being willing to join me on stage. They have also given me a lot of courage and support!"
"I remember Ling Nai and Ayu also met Nuo Nuo on a variety show, if I remember correctly... it was called 'Falling in Love with Kindergarten,' right?"
"Right, we joined kindergarten together when I was just three years old."
Asai Reina said, "So, we've been old friends for a long time now!"
"Oh my, that's really quite something."
Gugu Zi said, "The friendship that grows from childhood is really enviable. But I remember... you also have a great relationship with You You, right? You You came here today especially to cheer for Nuo Nuo, could You You be jealous?"
"Not at all, because You You and I cheer each other on."
Xia Nuo said, "You You and I wrote the lyrics for this song together."
"Wow, even in the Moe King competition, you two are so united..."
"That's right, You You and I agreed, no matter who wins the Moe King trophy, the victory will also be the other's achievement!"
Gugu Zi was touched to the core upon hearing this and wiped his eyes with emotion.
"A competition without any rivalry for self-interest, just purely enjoying our stage. Dear audience, do you see that? This is the innocence of children's feelings, not like my relationship with Ming Mei, which has been marred by an unbridgeable gap over that 30,000 yuan until now—"
"Alright, alright, Gugu Zi teacher, let's not continue with your and Ming Mei's broken youthful memories. Let's direct our attention back to these three little ones and thank Nuo Nuo, Ayu, and Ling Nai with warm applause once more for their brilliant performance today!"
"Thank you! Thank you everybody! Thank you for liking me! Thank you, thank you!"
On stage, the natural-born star Xia Nuo waved to everyone and happily led her friends off the stage!
"Okay, after watching the performance of Nuo Nuo and her friends, please enjoy the next act from our old pal in the Moe King competition, the talented martial arts girl Yue Yipei—"
"Let's see who her mysterious support guest is today—who could it be?"
To think she would call on her good friends as external support at such a critical competition...
What a wasted opportunity to challenge me, Nuo Nuo.
Yue Yipei knew how to use her advantages.
To play to her strengths.
Since it's external support, it should bring something...
The most unexpected.
But also what the audience has been eagerly anticipating...
A light and graceful melody started playing onstage.
On one side of the stage, a fairy dressed in a blue magical girl dress, holding a fairy wand, slowly walked onto the stage.
"Wow! Pei Pei is dressed so cute today, she's really going all out for Moe King!"
"That costume, is it the Orchid Fairy?"
"Look at the other side! That's the genuine Orchid Fairy!"
