Neither too fast nor slow, (as if) this matter is completely of no concern to myself

Thank you for the translation :chu:

 

 

You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the translation ^__^

 

Thank you so much!!

By the way Wang Yong Liang, the lyricist, is actually Tom Wang, Jolin's agent... I was surprised to read that he was writing lyrics too lol

 

 

Oh wow I googled and I saw a Tom Wang in the results but had no idea he was Jolin's agent. She really does have an amazing team behind her. It's also lovely to see JJ composing music for other artists.

 

thank you

 

 

:rlytearpls:  thank you so much!

 

No problem ^__^ Thanks for checking out the translation.
