On an ordinary afternoon, He Shuyao opened the door of the piano room and saw a young man sleeping on the piano. The sunlight passed through the blinds, casting tiny shadows on his trembling eyelashes. She somehow did not wake him up but just looked at him - seventeen-year-old Shen Yunzheng.
Later they gradually became familiar with each other. He would pretend not to notice when she played a wrong note, and she would accompany him while he drew, occasionally humming songs that were off-key. No one said they liked it, but the side-by-side pendants said it all.
The accident came without any warning. After a huge change in her family and her classes being stopped, she squatted in the piano room and cried until her throat became hoarse. Shen Yunzheng stood at the door, holding a school transfer notice in his palm. My father's job was transferred and I was going to another city for my senior year of high school. The last time they met, she turned her back to him and said, "Don't come to me again." He didn't speak.
Later, he asked someone to inquire about her and learned that she no longer played the piano and only went to college. From then on, there was silence and guilt spread.
The reunion was at a campus meeting after work. After more than four years, she put aside her extravagant personality and was not as gentle as she was in memory. Greetings, apologies, hugs - they try to restore the broken mirror, but reality is not a fairy tale, and a broken mirror cannot be reunited.
The last time they parted, she went to the left and he to the right. Later she stood in the center of the auditorium and said "I do" to another person. He received an anonymous piano sheet that read: "Moonlight" is still there. And Shen Yunzheng never loved anyone again throughout his life.
Some people come and the keys can no longer play other chords.
