Chapter 3550: Chapter 3552

“That’s true,” Roger said. “In fact, sometimes it’s very easy to use chemical knowledge to kill someone, like with explosives, poisoning, or…”

His voice trailed off as his dark eyes gazed at her.

In an instant, Jasper felt her heart racing and an inexplicable sense of danger arose, as if her body’s instincts were urging her to escape from the boy in front of her.

But why would she feel this way?

“So, these chemicals really need to be handled with caution to prevent them from being misused by someone with ill intentions,” Jasper quickly interjected.

“Yeah, safety is definitely important,” Roger agreed.

“By the way, did you choose to study chemistry because you enjoy it?” she changed the subject and asked.

“I’m just interested in how different chemicals, when combined, can create different reactions that can either save or kill people. Don’t you think it’s fascinating?” he said.

“Um…I’ve never heard anyone describe chemistry like that before. I just find it dangerous,” she replied.

“What do you like then? The piano?” she asked.

“Yes, I do love the piano,” he admitted. “I even thought that it was something I would strive to work hard at for my entire life.”

“Then why didn’t you choose to study music?” she asked curiously.

“Because it’s useless,” he chuckled.

“Useless?” She frowned, not agreeing with him. “How can it be useless? Music can cultivate one’s character, bring joy to people’s mood, and even like me, studying music therapy, can use music to treat patients in the future.”

“But what’s the use of that?” He asked with a smile, “If you throw a musician into a deserted place, you will find that music, besides self-satisfaction, has no use for your survival.”

She was taken aback. “Anyway, music can be spiritual food, can relieve stress, and even during war, music can boost morale!”

“People who usually say such things are those who are materially rich. In times of famine, no one will think of music.

As for war, the inspiring effect of music is based on the premise that you still have enough soldiers during the war, otherwise, it has no effect at all.”

Jasper bit her lip and watched as the person in front of her played the piano so well, yet spoke of music as if it were useless.

“If it’s useless, then why do you always go to the piano room to practice?” she asked.

“That’s to remind myself, to not forget certain things,” he replied. Only through practicing the piano over and over again could he constantly tell himself to be ruthless and not be soft-hearted. The reason he came back was to settle the unfinished hatred from the past.

“What things should you not forget?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“Do you want to know?” he stared at her.

She suddenly realized that her words just now sounded like she was prying into his personal affairs.

“Um, I…I was just asking casually. Sorry, I shouldn’t have inquired about your personal life,” she quickly apologized.

“I’m not interested in sharing my personal life with unrelated people,” he replied, turning his head to continue his She watched quietly on the side, and only noticed that it was already dark outside when the two of them left the laboratory.
