Lawrence suddenly took a step forward and approached Jasper, “Did you come to warn me about this today?”
Jasper looked at Lawrence and said, “I know you’re leaving, so I came to say goodbye.”
“Goodbye?” He chuckled and suddenly bent down, their faces were suddenly very close.
Jasper slightly frowned, while there was a gasp around them.
It’s obvious that Lawrence’s actions now make it seem ambiguous between him and Jasper to outsiders.
“I thought there wouldn’t be any goodbyes between us. Last tim you left, you looked at me with disgust,” Lawrence said.
Jasper replied, “Because I wanted to completely untangle my own emotions.”
“Emotions?”
“Yes, you are my emotional baggage,” she said.
His eyes flickered.
“Can you go somewhere with me?” she asked.
“There’s nothing I can’t do. Consider it fulfilling your la he shrugged.
She turned around and walked ahead, with Lawrence following behind.
The two of them left the campus and Jasper brought Lawrence to a building.
Jasper said to the driver who followed them, “Just wait downstairs.”
“But…” The driver hesitated, as he was responsible for Jasper’s safety.
“There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the building. He won’t do anything to me. Otherwise, he can’t leave Emerald City if something happens to me,” Jasper said, not only to the driver but also to
Lawrence.
Lawrence was a smart person and wouldn’t do anything that could put him in danger before leaving.
The driver didn’t say anything more.
Lawrence glanced at Jasper thoughtfully, clearly understanding his meaning.
Lawrence also knew that this building was a gathering place for some well-known musicians, and many famous music studios were located here.
Jasper took Lawrence to the 7th floor and used his fi to open one of the doors. Inside was a space of about meters, arranged like a typical music studio, with the special feature being a piano placed in the center.
As Lawrence approached the piano, suddenly a memory came to mind–
“Lawrence, do you want to be a pianist in the future?”
“Yes, but…I don’t have a piano.”
“Then I’ll give you a very, very good piano in the future, so you can play even more beautiful music. You will definitely become a famous pianist.”
“What if…I don’t become a pianist?”
“That’s okay, I just love your piano playing, I really really love i I want to be able to hear your piano playing often in the future, and play our favorite songs together.”
But in the end, she didn’t often hear his piano playing, nor did they play their favorite songs together.
“I bought this piano when I was 14 years old at an auction,” Jasper said. “When I saw and heard this piano, I thought it was perfect for you, so I asked my dad to buy it for me.” Jasper said, “I thought that when I found you in the future, I would definitely give this piano to you.”
“I’m sure this piano is very valuable, but I don’t really need a piano right now,” Lawrence said.
Yes, it was indeed very valuable, worth 50 million, and many of the world’s famous pianos couldn’t fetch that price.
But at the time, she just wanted to get this piano for him, so she asked her dad to help her get it.
So even if it’s 50 million, her father has fulfilled her wish.
Later on, she unconsciously turned this piano into a way to express her feelings for him.
Whenever she missed him, she would play this piano and imagine that they were playing together.
“Since you’re leaving Emerald City, we probably won’t have any more intersections in the future. So, how about playing a piece with me now?” Jasper said.
“Play together?” Lawrence sneered, “Jasper, do you want to play with me to say goodbye to the past?”
“Yes,” she said, “because I want to completely erase you from my heart, so that I won’t feel guilty or regretful about you in the future.”
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.
“Okay, since you want to play a piece with me, let’s do it,” Lawrence said. “What piece do you want to play?”
“Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige,” she said.
Since their relationship started with Transcendent 12 Chasse-neige, it would also end with this piece.
Lawrence’s body trembled slightly, his thin lips tightly pursed into a line. After a moment, he suddenly smiled, “Okay, let’s play Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-
neige.”
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 didn’t know what their future held, but she was certain that they could never go back to the way things were before.
“Let’s begin,” 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 hadn’t 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 Lawrence’s voice broke through, “Why are you cry
Jasper touched his cheek and realized he had tears on his face.
“Because from now on, I won’t cry for you anymore,” Jasper said.
Lawrence’s eyes darkened, “Do you really think that after this piece, we’re completely over?”
He reached out and wiped away her tears.
She turned away, avoiding his touch, but his fingertips still brushed against her tears.
“Jasper, this time your tears are for me, but it won’t be the last time. I’m leaving Emerald City, but that doesn’t mean I won’t come back! Someday, I’ll return to Emerald City and what’s between us isn’t over yet!”
She wiped away her tears and looked at him, “Are you still seeking revenge? Are you going to continue to involve innocent people?”
“So as long as they’re not innocent, you can seek revenge?” he stared at her.
In an instant, she understood that the “not innocent” person he referred to was her.
“If it was before, if you wanted to seek revenge on me, I would have accepted it. You could have done whatever you wanted, but now, I won’t allow it. Lawrence, I don’t owe you anything anymore,” Jasper said.
Lawrence grabbed Jasper’s shoulder, “Whether you owe me or not, it’s not up to you to decide with just one sentence!”
Jasper winced in pain, “Since you won’t give up your revenge, the next time you enter Emerald City, we’ll be enemies.”
“Enemies?” Lawrence chuckled mockingly, “Since we can’t be friends, being enemies isn’t so bad.”
If he couldn’t have her love, then he could have her hatred, which was good enough for him.
At least she still had some kind of feeling for him, right?
“So Jasper, remember this, in the future, we’ll be enemies!” Lawrence said, leaning in.
As he was about to kiss her, Jasper suddenly turned her head away, “No, you should know that the person I love isn’t you!”
Lawrence’s eyes darkened, his face getting closer to William, isn’t it? Do you really think you love him?
feelings for him are just a habit that’s been built up o years, to the point where you’re deluded into thinking you love him.”
“It’s not a delusion,” Jasper said seriously, “The person I love is William, I’m very clear about that.
Some feelings may be love at first sight, but for some people, feelings are accumulated over the years.
Lawrence, you’re not me, so how can you judge what my feelings for William are like?”
Lawrence’s face turned ugly.
“Let go of me,” Jasper said, “Or is kissing someone who doesn’t love you your way of seeking revenge?”
Lawrence looked at Jasper and suddenly lowered his head again.
“No!” Jasper resisted.
But the next moment, she froze.
Lawrence was indeed “kissing” her, but he placed his own palm between his and her lips. He was kissing his own hand, and his palm was tightly pressed against her lips.
This was his kiss to her.
He didn’t want to force her anymore, but he wanted her to remember him, so he made this choice in the end.
Jasper stiffened all over, staring at Lawrence who w her body seemed to be frozen, making it difficult for move.
She didn’t know how long it had passed, but he finally ended this special “kiss” and slowly straightened up.
And the hand blocking her lips finally slowly moved away from her lips.
“Jasper, don’t forget me, even if it’s hate, don’t forget me!” This was his last words to her.
