Jasper frowned, not understanding what he meant.
Suddenly, Roger asked, âCan you play âOn My Wayâ?â
Jasper was taken aback. This was the theme song from the animated series âPleasant Goat and Big Big Wolfâ. She had watched the show when she was a child and had naturally played the song before.
Especially now that she was at the welfare home, she had prepared many songs suitable for children to listen to before coming.
âOkay,â Jasper replied.
âLetâs play together, four-hand duet, is that okay?â he said.
âHmm?â Jasper was taken aback. Before she could react, Roger had already grabbed her wrist and led her to sit down at the piano.
Playing a piano duet with four hands is not a difficult task for her.
However, she had not practiced with Roger before and was unsure if they could work well together.
After Roger explained the parts each person would play, he said, âLetâs begin.â
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers pressed down on the piano keys.
Beautiful and lively music flowed from his fingertips.
Jasper pursed her lips and began playing along with Roger, matching his playing on the keys.
Even though it was their first time playing a four-hand piece together, they had an unusual sense of harmony, as if they had played together many times before.
The children listened with great interest, and some even sang along happily with the music.
After the performance, Roger turned to Jasper and said, âYou played well.â
âThanks, you did a good job too,â she replied. âDo youâ¦um, often play duets with others?â
âNo, youâre the first,â he answered.
She looked surprised. So, he had never played a duet with anyone else before?
The performance just now was a bitâ¦
âBut after playing the four-hand piece with you, I feel like it was pretty good. Donât you think we had good coordination while playing the piano?â he said.
Good coordination? Indeed, they did. After all, it was their first time playing together, but the final result was quite impressive.
Even Meave, who was listening on the side, pulled Jasper aside and whispered, âDid you secretly contact Roger beforehand? Your coordination in the four-hand piece was too good.â
âNo, today was the first time,â Jasper replied.
Meave was speechless, and Roger went on to play several songs for the children. When there was a break in the middle, Jasper gave the small gifts he had brought to the children.
One little girl who received a gift didnât leave, but kept looking at Jasper and asked, âDo you like Roger?â
Jasper almost choked on his own saliva and asked, âWhat do you mean by âlikeâ?â
âI mean, do you want to marry Roger?â the little girl explained.
Jasper was sweating profusely. Are children nowadays so mature at such a young age? Sheâs only a few years old and already asking these kinds of questions!
âOf course not,â Jasper quickly replied.
The little girl looked at her skeptically, clearly not believing her words.
