The old man was once again stunned by the young man's words.
Compared to the girl just now, this man is obviously more communicative...
How to say?
Not so smooth?
The old man smiled sheepishly.
He naturally saw the fatigue and sleepiness on the man's face, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry to bother you."
"I just want to ask you..."
The old man got straight to the point.
"Have you heard the sound of the pipa at home?"
He didn't ask the man in front of him if he was practicing pipa like he asked the girl just now.
After all, the pipa is a relatively unpopular instrument.
Most of the people who practice pipa are girls.
The man in front of me looked like he wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. He didn't proceed step by step and asked the most critical question directly.
…
"lute……"
The man was stunned, "The sound of...?"
The man reached out and rubbed his forehead.
Because of this unexpected question, he sobered up a little.
…
"No."
The man shook his head.
"I didn't hear any pipa sound."
…
The old man was very disappointed.
But it's not that disappointing.
The moment he saw the man, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
But……
Girls are not.
Neither are men.
So in the end...
Obviously the voice he heard... really felt very close to him...
…
"If there is nothing else..."
Although he also regretted the old man's disappointment.
However, he was helpless.
Moreover, his current state also made him feel dizzy.
He just wanted to get back to his bed as soon as possible.
He doesn't care about other things.
I don't want to care either.
…
The old man suddenly became anxious.
etc……
"...Are you the only one in your family?"
An idea flashed in the old man's mind.
He couldn't wait to ask.
…
The man has high eyebrows.
"Yes."
The man nodded.
"I am the only one in my family."
…
The light in the old man's eyes dimmed a little.
There is only one man...
…
"Excuse me."
The man's hand was on the doorknob.
"I can't help you."
…
The old man immediately smiled and waved his hands.
"I disturbed you."
"Rest."
…
The man closed the door.
…
The old man froze on the spot.
…
"Old man?"
The old lady opened the door and came out.
Turning her eyes slightly, she saw the old man standing at the door.
She frowned.
"Why don't you say anything when you come out?"
"When I came out of the kitchen and didn't see you, I thought you were missing."
"Do you know how many times I called you?"
The old lady complained softly.
So early in the morning, it was so taxing on her throat.
Really are……
…
"……What's wrong?"
After muttering a few words, the old lady's face paused when she realized something was wrong with the old man's condition.
She walked to the old man's side.
Show concern.
"Why are you so dumb?"
"What happened?"
She glanced at the door to the side.
"Why are you standing at someone's door?"
…
It wasn't until the old lady's hand took the old man's arm that the old man suddenly came back to his senses.
He smiled at the old woman.
"fine."
…
"Is it okay for you to look like this?"
The old lady rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"Do you really think my eyesight is dim?"
…
"...We'll talk about it when we get back."
The old man didn't know how to explain it for a while.
I have to say this.
…
The old lady stared at the old man for a while.
"good."
indeed.
It's really not appropriate for them to stand in front of someone's house and talk about things.
…
The old man walked into the house first.
Then the old lady closed the door behind her.
…..
They changed into slippers at the entrance.
They walked into the living room one after another.
…
"Say it."
Finally, the old lady spoke to break the silence between them.
"what happened?"
She stared at the old man's face.
Don't miss the slightest change on the other person's face.
"Why are you going out so early in the morning?"
"You stand at someone's door..."
"Do you know that family?"
"You have something to do with him?"
"you-"
…
"stop."
The old man was a little stunned by the old lady's constant questions.
He hurriedly shouted to stop.
"How do you answer so many questions?"
…
"Answer one by one."
The old lady put her hands on her hips.
Pretending to look fierce.
"Answer honestly."
"Don't be careless with me."
…
The old man blinked.
Then a wry smile appeared on his face.
"well."
"I see."
"Let's sit down and talk."
The old man sat down on the sofa.
The old lady didn't need to greet him, the old lady had already sat down beside him.
…
The old man thought for a while.
He tilted his head.
He caught the old lady staring at him.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Why are you acting like a prisoner..."
…
The old lady raised her eyebrows.
"Do you also feel that you have done something wrong?"
…
Old man:......
He shook his head helplessly.
"What did I do wrong?"
"alright."
Seeing that the old lady was about to open her mouth again, the old man hurriedly made a gesture.
"Do you still want to listen to me?"
…
The old lady closed her mouth.
He looked like he was about to say something quickly.
…
The old man smiled.
The smile quickly faded from his face.
The old man sighed slightly.
"I woke up in the middle of the night last night..."
The old man decided to start from the beginning.
This is clearer.
It also saves the old lady from having to deal with problems one by one.
…
Um?
A completely unexpected beginning...
The old lady's mouth opened slightly.
Finally, he pursed his lips.
Patiently waiting for the old man’s next words.
…
"...When I was passing by the living room, I saw the beautiful flowers on the balcony..."
Having said this, the old man subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the flowers on the balcony.
Soon, he withdrew his gaze.
"I'll just go to the balcony and take a look."
"result……"
…
result?
The old lady held her breath unconsciously.
What's the result?
…
"Then I heard the sound of the pipa playing again."
The old man smiled bitterly.
He reached out and rubbed his temples.
The memory of last night came back to his mind.
He frowned unconsciously.
…
"The sound of the lute?"
The old lady was surprised, "Have you heard it again!?"
"What time is that?"
"What time did you get to the balcony?"
…
"Two thirty."
The old man is very sure.
"I got up and checked the time specifically."
…
"Two thirty..."
The old lady murmured.
She looked at the old man and said, "Is it half past two in the morning?"
…
"if not?"
The old man almost wanted to roll his eyes.
…
"so late……"
The old lady felt a little ridiculous and incredible, "Is there anyone else practicing pipa?"
