"So you want to turn her into the second Rita and make her imitate my singing?"
Before Heize could finish speaking, Freya cut in and said it for him.
Heize didn't try to hide it and said straightforwardly, "That's right. Coincidentally, she's your fan and has been singing your songs. So I thought about having her follow in your footsteps to see if she could become the second Rita."
Just as Freya was about to speak, she suddenly heard the girl singing her hit song "The Absent Love". The voice and the expression were exactly the same as hers.
If she were to stand together with the girl and sing at this moment, it would really be difficult to tell who the original singer was.
Freya was inwardly amazed. "You're really something, Mr. Black. Where did you find this singer? She has great talent."
Heize gave a little chuckle and told Freya the story of how he met this girl.
"Her name is Wang Qinghan. She's about the same age as you, and her background is similar to yours. She's also a poor girl who grew up in an orphanage. She was bullied by the other children in the orphanage, and since she wasn't favored by the director, she has a somewhat withdrawn personality. She even suffers from severe depression and once had the idea of committing suicide."
"Xiaohan told me that when she wanted to end her life that day, she happened to hear Rita's song. At that moment, she became obsessed with it and even developed a will to live. After that, Xiaohan became infatuated with Rita and listened to Rita's songs every day. Over time, she learned how to sing them."
"Later, Xiaohan left the orphanage. To make a living, she became a resident singer in a bar. But she only sings Rita's songs, so she's known as the 'Little Rita'. Xiaohan told me that Rita saved her. Even though Rita has quit the music industry, she wants to keep Rita's songs alive and help more people who are trapped in despair and can't see the light, giving them hope for life and the will to live well."
Freya listened quietly, her eyes fixed on Wang Qinghan.
She never expected that such a beautiful girl would have such a tragic past.
She pursed her lips. Whether it was influenced by Wang Qinghan's singing or her miserable background, her nose felt a little sour, and she sniffled.
"So you met her in the bar, saw a bit of me in her, and brought her to Zexuan Entertainment?"
Heize hummed in agreement. "That's right. She likes you a lot and has been singing your songs. But she also said herself that she can't become the second Rita because Rita is unique."
These words deeply touched Freya's heart.
She turned to Heize and said, "Can I go and talk to her?"
Bradley had gone out to answer a phone call, and this was a good opportunity for her to take some time and get to know this girl.
Heize said, "Of course. Xiaohan will definitely be very happy to see you."
After all, Wang Qinghan had always regarded Freya as her source of hope, and her greatest dream was to have the honor of meeting Rita in person. If possible, she would even like to sing on the same stage as Rita.
But the last point was probably a bit difficult to achieve.
After all, Freya had firmly quit the industry, and Bradley didn't want Freya to show up in public. So this dream couldn't come true.
With Heize's permission, Freya walked over.
Wang Qinghan was so focused on the music that she didn't notice the person behind her at all. By the time she finished singing the whole song, her eyes were filled with tears.
Freya stood behind her. On a whim, she started singing "The Absent Love" a cappella.
It had been a long time since she had sung, and singing a cappella was a real test of one's skills, but Freya still handled it perfectly.
As the song started, Wang Qinghan was stunned for a while. She thought the song was playing from somewhere. After looking around, she realized that the sound was coming from behind her.
When she turned around, she saw a delicate and elegant face in front of her.
She had never met Rita before, and since Rita had never shown her true face, Wang Qinghan didn't recognize Freya.
She stared at Freya for a long time before finally asking, "Who are you?"
Freya walked up to her and held out her hand. "Hello, I'm Rita."
When the name "Rita" was spoken, Wang Qinghan was completely stunned.
Rita?
The Rita she admired and liked the most?
At that moment, Wang Qinghan stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.
She had dreamed of meeting Rita, and now that the person was here, she didn't know how to greet her.
Seeing the girl's surprised expression, Freya smiled, and the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc. "My hand is getting sore. Are you sure you don't want to shake it?"
This made Wang Qinghan come to her senses. She quickly reached out her hand and shook Freya's.
At that moment, her heart was beating fast, like a drum, and she was extremely excited.
"Are you really the real Rita?"
She still couldn't believe it, considering that Rita had already quit the industry.
Freya said seriously, "Genuine and guaranteed."
After getting a definite answer, Wang Qinghan became a bit flustered.
After all, when meeting her idol, besides being excited, she was also very nervous.
Freya could see her uneasiness. She casually took her hand and sat down beside her, saying gently, "I heard from Mr. Black that you like me a lot?"
Wang Qinghan nodded. "I like you more than anything."
"Then can you sing all my songs?"
"Yes."
Wang Qinghan replied and then started singing.
Freya didn't interrupt her. She listened quietly to her singing and observed her expression while singing.
From a distance, she had thought the girl looked like her. Now, up close, she felt even more that they were similar.
After Wang Qinghan finished singing a song, Freya asked, "How long have you been learning to sing my songs?"
"Three years," Wang Qinghan said.
Freya let out an "oh" and suddenly took her hand, saying seriously, "I know you like me a lot and have been imitating my songs and expressions. But Xiaohan, you should sing with your own characteristics. After all, you can't live your whole life by imitating others."
Freya didn't object to Wang Qinghan imitating her, but she didn't want Wang Qinghan to lose herself.
After all, she was just Wang Qinghan's spiritual sustenance. When Wang Qinghan was in her most difficult time, Freya's songs had inadvertently opened a ray of light for her.
But this shouldn't be the reason for her to be trapped in the shackles of being a copy of Rita.
She was Wang Qinghan, not a replica of Rita.
Wang Qinghan thought Freya was annoyed by her imitation and explained nervously, "Sister Rita, I'm not imitating you. I don't even dare to hope to be like you. I just..."
Before she could finish, Freya gently placed her hand on her lips and smiled at her. "I know, and I'm not blaming you."
"I just want to say that it was my honor that my songs healed you and gave you hope to live. But I hope your life will get better and better. Use your own voice to sing your own songs and let everyone remember the name 'Wang Qinghan', instead of being restricted by the title of 'Little Rita' and always living in someone else's shadow."
