Jasper rested her chin on her hands and watched William, who was not often seen on campus before, standing in line nearby. Even when she did see him, it was mostly through video calls.
But now, they were both attending the same school.
At that moment, someone suddenly walked up to Jasper and struck up a conversation, “Hey there, new face! Are you a freshman? What’s your name? Let’s get to know each other. You haven’t joined any clubs yet, have you? Why not join the tennis club? I’m the star player…”
The person went on and on, while Jasper listened with interest.
Seeing Jasper’s reaction, the person became even more excited and continued talking!
Just then, a voice rang out, “Jasper, who is this guy?”
“I don’t know him, but was he trying to hit on me just now?” Jasper asked curiously. In the past, as soon as she entered school, everyone knew who she was, and no one had ever come up to her like this guy did, talking non-stop.
William stared at the senior student.
The senior student looked embarrassed and coughed, “I was just introducing the club to the freshman.
Sorry to disturb you!”
He quickly stepped away.
Being stared at like that made him feel scared. It was as if showing any interest in the freshman would lead to a terrible outcome.
Jasper watched the senior student run away and then looked straight at William, as if studying something.
Watching the senior flee in panic, Jasper stared straight at William, as if studying something.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” William asked.
“Just now, when you were staring at the senior, I had a terrible feeling,” Jasper said.
“A terrible feeling?” He furrowed his brow.
“Yes, it’s like he has some grudge against you. I never noticed it before, but it seems that sometimes when you stare at people, it gives off this kind of feeling,” Jasper explained.
That’s because the senior had feelings for Jasper, that’s why he acted that way.
“I will never make you feel that way, so don’t think I’m scary, okay?” William looked at the person in front of him and his tone had a hint of pleading.
Jasper laughed carelessly, “How could I ever think you’re scary! Even if you were scary, it would only be towards others!”
As she spoke, she started eating the food he had just bought. “I’m so hungry!”
“Take your time eating, don’t choke,” he said, looking at her with an indulgent expression.
“I got it!” she said.
At that moment, William suddenly stiffened and looked around.
“What’s wrong?” Jasper noticed William’s strange behavior and also looked up, following his gaze around, but didn’t see anything special.
“It’s nothing, I’m probably just being too sensitive,” William said. He had a feeling that someone was watching them.
from the shadows, as if someone was hiding and observing everything.
But even if someone was really hiding and watching them, it didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, school had just started and they were walking around the campus, which always attracted attention from others.
“Come on, hurry up and eat. If you don’t, the food will get cold,” Jasper urged.
“Okay,” William replied and lowered his head to start eating.
Meanwhile, in the corner of the cafeteria, a figure hid in the shadows and walked towards the side door of the cafeteria. Just before leaving, he glanced at Jasper and William who were dining with the corner of his eye.
It wouldn’t be long before he appeared in front of them for real!
He wants Jasper to experience the pain of being abandoned, just like he did back then!
He wants to make the princess of the Reed family, who is high.
up in the clouds, fall hard and taste the bitter fruit that she has brewed herself!
Jasper adapted quite well to college life and got along well with the girls in her dormitory.
Especially because she didn’t act like a spoiled princess, others were willing to communicate with her. Of course, there were also many people who deliberately flattered her.
The school curriculum isn’t difficult for Jasper, and sometimes.
she even applies the knowledge she learns to other areas, showing her ability to think creatively.
What she’s really happy about is that the school has a dedicated piano room that can be rented by the hour.
Although her main focus is music therapy, Jasper has always loved playing the piano. After all these years, she still gets the urge to play every day. So whenever she has time, she rents a room in the school’s piano room and practices for a few hours.
On this day, Jasper arrived at the piano room as usual, ready to practice.
As she was registering at the front desk, she overheard a group of girls talking, “Wow, I can’t believe how well that person plays the piano. They’re even better than a lot of piano majors!”
“That piece of music is extremely difficult, the technique is simply amazing!”
“And that guy is so handsome! I’ve never heard of anyone in the piano department being this talented!”
“Could he be from another department?”
“Well, it must be a department related to music.”
Jasper listened to these girls’ discussions, but didn’t think much of it. After all, on campus, girls often talk about guys who are good-looking and talented in certain areas.
Just as she finished filling out the registration form and was about to head to one of the piano rooms, she suddenly heard a group of girls say, “By the way, what’s the name of that super difficult piece he played?”
“Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige.”
“Yes, that’s the one!”
Jasper’s footsteps abruptly halted. Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige… that name was etched into her soul like a vivid memory!
Because it was the piece Lawrence had played when they first met.
Back then, it was because she heard Lawrence playing this piece that she asked her father to find Lawrence, which led to the worst outcome.
Even now, she often wonders if Lawrence’s mother would not have become addicted to drugs and Lawrence’s parents would still be alive if she had not insisted on finding Lawrence back then.
They would have lived in poverty, but at least they would still be alive, instead of being separated by life and death, and even Lawrence has disappeared without a trace.
Almost instinctively, Jasper walked towards the piano room mentioned by those girls. Several girls were already standing at the door, squeezing together and peering inside through the glass, exclaiming in amazement.
As Jasper approached the door, he could faintly hear the sound of piano playing coming from inside.
Although the rooms were soundproofed, the door area was not, so if someone stood at the doorway, they could hear the piano music inside.
It was… Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige!
She was very familiar with this piece, and even played it countless times after Lawrence disappeared.
At this moment, several people crowded around the glass door, but Jasper couldn’t see inside and couldn’t see what the person playing the piano looked like.
At the moment, several people were crowded in front of the glass door, and Jasper couldn’t see inside or what the person playing the piano looked like.
She stood a little further away from the entrance, closed her eyes, and listened quietly to the faint sound of the piano.
Even though she was skilled in playing the piano herself, she was amazed by the level of skill displayed by the performer.
This kind of piano playing was good enough to join a symphony orchestra!
However, for some reason, this performance gave her an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and a certain speculation flashed through her mind.
As this thought crossed her mind, her emotions began to fluctuate like a calm sea suddenly hit by a fierce storm, causing waves of turmoil.
Could it be Lawrence playing the piano?
The skill displayed was much better than when Lawrence played Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige before, but there was still a hint of his style in the performance.
However, if it really was Lawrence, he should know that she was attending this school. After all, she was the representative of the new students this year, and with so many people talking about her in school, he had no reason not to know.
But if Lawrence knew they were in the same school, why wouldn’t he appear in front of her?
Too many guesses flashed through her mind one by one.
Finally, the piano music ended, but the discussion among those girls became even more lively. Jasper and Grace kept their eyes closed, savoring the aftertaste of the piano piece, until the sound of the door opening made
Jasper slowly open her eyes.
A figure walked out of the room.
It was a tall and slender boy with fair skin and a pair of beautiful but melancholic eyes, like autumn, desolate yet charming. His straight nose was set off by his sharp and thin lips. Such a boy was undoubtedly attractive to women.
However, Jasper’s gaze was fixed on him not because of his beauty, but because of his face… It was familiar, with a shadow of Lawrence, like… Lawrence after growing up!
Is it Lawrence? Is it really Lawrence?
He’s alive! He appeared right in front of her!
Jasper’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with tears. In this moment, it was as if the whole world had disappeared for her, becoming nothingness, leaving only the two of them!
The next moment, there was a cry of surprise from the surrounding people, because Jasper had rushed straight to the other person and hugged him tightly.
Among the people around, some recognized Jasper and were immediately shocked.
After all, Jasper was quite famous in school, and recently, the most talked-about speculation was about Jasper’s relationship with William.
Although the two currently claimed to be childhood friends, many people thought they might be in love, especially considering William’s tenderness towards Jasper, which was obvious to everyone, and his coldness towards other girls, which was also obvious!
“Lawrence, it’s you, right? It’s you!” Jasper hugged Lawrence tightly and murmured.
It must be him, and it can only be him!
There was a resemblance between his face and Lawrence’s from his childhood, and in his music, there was a hint of
Lawrence’s playing.
