Seeing that Qin Shaoheng didn't understand, Xia Luo could only speak more bluntly: "I'm really not good at it, and it's not an excuse. You may think that my voice is fine and I shouldn't not be able to sing well, but the truth is so incredible , I can’t sing well no matter how hard I try.”
Qin Shaoheng was even more puzzled. In his eyes, Xia Luo had always been gifted. He was very savvy in many things. He could understand everything and learn it quickly.
Is there anything that she can't learn? And it’s something as easy as singing?
It may not be easy to sing particularly well, but for ordinary singing, the evaluation standards are not so strict.
After thinking about it, Qin Shaoheng expressed his guess: "Are you asking too much of yourself?"
Charlotte: Your disbelief looks very much like Qin Shaoyang back then.
So, she became more specific: "I'm not the only one who thinks so. My family, especially my father, used to be particularly opposed to me singing in front of outsiders."
Forget it, just say it, there is no shame in it.
Xia Luo didn't care about losing face. She was no longer the arrogant and unwilling daughter of the Xia family before.
"I was particularly shocked at the beginning. I refused to admit defeat at that time and worked hard in private to practice. But I obviously felt that I was not out of tune or singing in the wrong rhythm, but my family still looked very wrong after listening to it." Charlotte said about herself "It's hard to hear that they didn't even want to explain the reasons, so they just said I was unsuitable."
Since waking up in the interstellar era, this is the first time that Charlotte has told a person about many past things.
One after another, Qin Shaoheng already knew some things about her, things on earth that she had never told anyone else.
She didn't say anything particularly specific, nor did she reveal her life experience or origins. Many things were described vaguely.
Charlotte has always been cautious, but now, she is more and more sure that he will not dig into her past.
Even if there is curiosity during the process, even if he really notices something unreasonable, he will not say it out loud.
After testing carefully step by step, she would have some heart-to-heart remarks about him.
Neither of them easily trusts each other. The ability to have this level of dialogue depends entirely on the trust accumulated in the past.
Of course, they are all smart and know what to say and what not to say.
After listening to Xia Luo's words, Qin Shaoheng's smile became even brighter: "Your serious explanation makes me more curious."
Charlotte: Stop being curious. Your brother was also shocked by me. Be good and don't ask for trouble.
However, Qin Shaoheng looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
Charlotte: "..." Don't look back until you hit the wall. The two brothers have the same temperament.
Seeing that Xia Luo was silent, Qin Shaoheng did not force her, but said with a hint of regret: "It doesn't matter, I missed it this year, maybe there will be a chance next year."
He quite knows what it means to make progress by retreating: "This is not a singing competition, it's not about who can sing better, it's about personal preference."
Charlotte: "..." Is this questioning the sincerity of her birthday wishes?
If he forced her to sing, then Charlotte might just ignore it.
But now he took the initiative to take a step back, with a gentle attitude, but happened to block her retreat with words.
In this way, even if Charlotte wanted to refuse, it would be difficult for her to speak.
What he said is not unreasonable. This is indeed not a singing competition. It does not test the singer's singing skills. It depends more on the sincerity of the individual.
She always says that she can't sing well, which inevitably gives people the impression of being pushy and seems particularly insincere.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is not a big deal, it is just singing a "Happy Birthday Song".
Moreover, Xia Luo herself said that she had carefully prepared for Qin Shaoheng's birthday in order to thank him for his teachings.
Now, she has done her best in all other aspects. As long as she sings another song to him, this birthday will come to a perfect end.
However, Charlotte thought for a while and gave a friendly reminder: "Do you really want to listen? If you find it unpleasant then, don't regret it."
It's what he wants to hear. Even if he is really shocked when the time comes, it's none of her business. Don't think she is deliberately causing trouble for him.
However, Qin Shaoheng smiled at her: "I won't regret it, just sing with confidence."
His concentration is not that bad.
Moreover, Qin Shaoheng has not been the kind of unstable person who regrets every step of the way.
Charlotte looked at his calm look and knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
She sat on the sofa and immediately said, "Then I will show my shame."
There are only two of them here, so even if they sing badly, it won't cause much trouble to others. It's better than the shocking performance in the restaurant just now.
After clearing her throat, Charlotte began to sing.
A simple "Birthday Song" without accompaniment, Charlotte sang purely acapella.
"Happy birthday to you~" the first sentence sounded slowly, like a whisper.
With just this first sentence, Qin Shaoheng instantly raised his eyebrows, showing an interesting look.
Qin Shaoheng's expression all fell into Xia Luo's eyes, and she was singing while looking at his face.
Charlotte was a little surprised. It seemed that being older had its benefits. He was much better at managing his expression than his younger brother, at least he wouldn't show any obvious shock.
I remember when Qin Shaoyang heard her sing "Happy Birthday" for the first time, his eyes widened as soon as she sang the first line.
On the other hand, Qin Shaoheng could still look at her with a smile on his face now.
However, Charlotte didn't think too much and continued singing.
"Happy birthday to you~ I wish you good health~ I wish you happiness~ I wish you a happy birthday~"
Charlotte's eyes were always looking at Qin Shaoheng. Since this "Birthday Song" was sung for him, of course he had to look at him to show his sincerity.
Moreover, even if she knew that her singing was not good, Charlotte still took it seriously. She worked hard to sing accurately and control the rhythm carefully, hoping to be the best within her abilities.
As she said before, she was sincerely grateful to Qin Shaoheng for his help and guidance during this period, so on his birthday, everything she did for him was also sincere.
Because "Happy Birthday" was very short, it was sung once, and Charlotte hummed it a second time.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Wish you health~Wish you happiness~Wish you a happy birthday~"
Even after singing it twice, it didn’t take too long.
After singing, Charlotte continued to sit on the sofa and looked at Qin Shaoheng silently.
Qin Shaoheng next to him was looking at Xia Luo with unclear meaning, with a slight smile on his lips.
Charlotte didn't know what the other person was thinking after hearing this.
Thank you to the cute qyue "jjjjj" for the reward~
I counted the manuscript and found that there are about 6 chapters left. This part of the Qin family has come to an end~
