When he was five years old, Li Yuan saw Shan Yiyi through the crack in the door of the piano room of the Children's Palace.
We reunited when we transferred schools at the age of seven, passed the Level 10 exam at the age of ten, were together at the age of thirteen, and were together at the age of sixteen——
Shan Yiyi died in a car accident on the way to watch his game.
From then on, Li Yuan closed the lid of the piano and did not touch it again for seven years.
Seven years later, in the winter, the door to the piano room was pushed open.
The person who came was called Shan Yi. He is Shan Yiyi's twin brother.
He brought a letter left by his brother, a forty-nine-key electronic keyboard, and a sentence:
"Wait until you finish playing "Ballade" before taking it apart."
Li Yuan put his hands on the keys again.
Start with middle C. Begin with Book 1 of Little Thompson. Start with the keys that haven't been touched in seven years.
Shan Yi sat at the other end of the piano bench and started learning the piano from scratch.
Until one day, Li Yuan discovered the secret of the electronic keyboard——
All the keys have been rearranged, and the distance between each key accurately corresponds to the span of his fingers.
21.3 Cm.
Shan Yiyi measured it while he was asleep.
One person remembers the shape of another person's hand.
Then he was gone.
But the one who stayed found another place to put his hand.
——After you walked in, I had no intention of letting you out.
The idea: to use the sound of the piano to fill up the gap of seven years. One person waited for seven years, one person took the last step for his brother, and then they discovered that there was no need to leave anymore.
