Chapter 65
“Just one line?” Natalie was not satisfied, pleading, “I can remember the lyrics. I won’t feel tired singing five lines. Just let me sing.
Susan was dumbfounded, caught between laughter and tears. She did want to let Natalie sing, but Natalie kept going off-key. Out of five lines, she missed four. It really freaked Susan out. Susan remained silent.
Natalie suddenly asked, “Am I off-key?” She looked very serious as if she genuinely didn’t know she was off-key.
Susan, with a complicated expression, nodded. “Yes, only the first line was on-key, the rest were all off.
Natalie’s face scrunched up. She looked very solemn.
Seeing her like this, Susan couldn’t bear it and tried to comfort her, “Were you nervous and didn’t perform well? How about you sing it again?”
“Sure,” Natalie responded happily. Even though her family pampered her, they never allowed her to sing. Susan was the first person who was willing to listen to her singing, and she cherished it deeply.
She told Susan, Ill do my best this time.” Natalie took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and got lost in her own world before she even started singing. Just by looking at her posture, she really seemed like a professional singer.
Susan straightened up and said, “Relax. Go ahead.” She found it hard to believe that someone with Natalie’s natural talent could sing off-key. It felt like such a waste of talent.
However, two minutes later, she encountered an entirely new song, different from the last one. Natalie went off-key again, in all kinds of unpredictable ways.
Susan scratched her head and rubbed her brow frequently. Though she didn’t want to dampen Natalie’s enthusiasm, she made up her mind. “Ms. Xavier, let’s just stick to the first line.”
Natalie tentatively suggested, “I want to sing two lines. How about giving me the second line as well?”
Susan deftly changed the subject, fully understanding the art of making promises. “Why don’t you practice first? Once you can sing on key, I’ll let you sing the second line.”
Hearing this, Natalie stood firm, puffed out her chest, and raised her head, making a promise. “I will practice hard.”
The viewers in the live stream, used to seeing the all-around talented Natalie, found her adorable even though she was off- key, and many casual viewers turned into fans.
[No, you don’t want to.]
[Sweetie, trust me. You don’t need to sing the second line. Just let it go,l
[Is this what they call being bad at something but being really addicted to it?]
[Natalie is so adorable. She sang it twice, which is like singing two songs, and she seems to really enjoy it. So funny.]
[Natalie is so clueless. She sings so terribly, yet has the nerve to keep going. So disgusting]
Natalie’s popularity was through the roof. By the end of the live stream, she owned five out of the top ten trending topics on Twitter.

Top Comment 3: [I made a few memes as below. If you don’t save them, I’ll be really sad, okay?]
In the memes, Natalie was closing her eyes, looking self-absorbed. The captions were “Fairy spell,” “I don’t want to look”, and “I’m the prettiest
Netizens were using Natalie memes in the comments to outdo each other with funny pictures. Some even photoshopped her face onto a panda meme. Everyone was having a blast.
Even serious topics like “Smooth Skin Admits Defeat”, “Natalie’s Amazing Choreography”, and “Shipping Jeremy and Natalie” weren’t spared for long.
Haters tried to take the opportunity to bash Natalie but then discovered her loyal fans were even tougher critics. The haters were kind of speechless.
It was speechless that loyal fans beat them to it Unexpectedly, even Natalie herself joined in on the fun after scrolling through Twitter.
She retweeted the funny video and used an emoji of herself, writing. [Casting a spell to catch someone with the same ringtone as me.]
Haters thought, ‘Is she okay? If she is free, go eat some snacks.
Netizens were just here for fun, and the last thing they wanted was someone taking things too seriously. Natalie’s response only made them like her even more.
[Natalie, do you think your singing sounds good?]
Others: No one dares to insult me; Natalie: What? Insult me? Step aside. I’ll do it myself.]
[Natalie, you sing great, but maybe don’t sing next time.]
[I played this song at my great-grandfather’s grave, and he said he liked it.]
[I’ve already changed my ringtone. Now my wife and I have matching ones! Another day of loving my wife even more.]
At nine o’clock, Natalie stopped scrolling through Twitter, turned off her phone, and went to bed on time.
At that moment, in the Luther residence, Darren sat in front of his computer, repeatedly playing that funny audio clip. A smile crept up his face until he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
He frowned immediately, thinking, “What’s so funny about this Natalie’s singing is terrible, yet she still dares to sing What

With that thought, Darren dialed Tony’s number. “Get a vocal coach ready to report to Natalie’s place tomorrow.”
After handling this, he exited the topic. There was still a pile of work left to do, and he had wasted too much time on these random things that day.

The content in the trending topic was nothing new, just people saying how perfect Natalie and Jeremy were together, similar to the comments on the live stream chat.
It wasn’t until he saw a comment that caught his attention. [Natalie has chemistry with so many people. Go over to the other side. This is killing me.]
Darren wasn’t very familiar with internet slang, but he could roughly figure out what it meant.
He typed Natalie’s name into the search bar and found a lot of weird stuff. Things like “Natalie and Andrew,” “Natalie and Vivian,” and “Natalie and Susan”. These were all somewhat normal.
But he didn’t expect that there would also be topics like “Natalie and Zaiden” and “Natalie and Keaton’. Darren wondered, ‘People actually ship these?’ He didn’t understand and was utterly shocked, feeling like the internet was full of freaks.
All of a sudden, Darren saw his name. There was even a topic for him and Natalie. That definitely caught his attention
