Whenever she missed him, she would play this piano and imagine that they were playing together.
âSince youâre leaving Emerald City, we probably wonât have any more intersections in the future. So, how about playing a piece with me now?â Jasper said.
âPlay together?â Lawrence sneered, âJasper, do you want to play with me to say goodbye to the past?â
âYes,â she said, âbecause I want to completely erase you from my heart, so that I wonât feel guilty or regretful about you in the future.â
Lawrence looked at her steadily. Her words made him feel empty, followed by more unwillingness.
He was unwilling to let her easily say that she had no feelings for him.
âOkay, since you want to play a piece with me, letâs do it,â Lawrence said. âWhat piece do you want to play?â
âTranscendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige,â she said.
Since their relationship started with Transcendent 12 Chasse-neige, it would also end with this piece.
Lawrenceâs body trembled slightly, his thin lips tightly pursed into a line. After a moment, he suddenly smiled, âOkay, letâs play Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-
neige.â
The two sat down, their hands resting on the black and white keys.
Jasper felt bitter in her heart. She had once hoped for this scene so much, but now it was so painful.
She didnât know what their future held, but she was certain that they could never go back to the way things were before.
âLetâs begin,â Jasper took a deep breath and said.
His fingers pressed down on the keys and the sound of the piano filled the room.
Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige⦠This piece of music held a special meaning for the two of them.
They were both very familiar with it, and even though they hadnât practiced together before, their playing was perfectly in sync.
It was as if they had rehearsed it countless times in their minds.
Jasper immersed himself in the music, using it as a way to express all the emotions he had for her and their past.
As the piece came to an end, Jasper was still lost in th until Lawrenceâs voice broke through, âWhy are you cry Jasper touched his cheek and realized he had tears on his face.
âBecause from now on, I wonât cry for you anymore,â Jasper said.
Lawrenceâs eyes darkened, âDo you really think that after this piece, weâre completely over?â
He reached out and wiped away her tears.
She turned away, avoiding his touch, but his fingertips still brushed against her tears.
âJasper, this time your tears are for me, but it wonât be the last time. Iâm leaving Emerald City, but that doesnât mean I wonât come back! Someday, Iâll return to Emerald City and whatâs between us isnât over yet!â
She wiped away her tears and looked at him, âAre you still seeking revenge? Are you going to continue to involve innocent people?â
âSo as long as theyâre not innocent, you can seek revenge?â he stared at her.
In an instant, she understood that the ânot innocentâ person he referred to was her.
