But he had obviously gone to the temple to worship...
really……
Is it of no use...
The old man is not a very superstitious person either.
Worshiping him in the temple is more for peace of mind.
…
"Why do I hate Pipa so much..."
The old man murmured.
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"It's okay if you don't like Pipa."
Everyone has their own preferred instrument.
but……
"Your attitude towards Pipa is a bit more than normal."
…
"So you think there is some hidden reason why I hate Pipa, right?"
The old man answered.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"Yes."
"It thinks you must have something hidden."
"Otherwise I wouldn't hate Pipa so much."
…
"Pfft~"
Even in such a tangled situation, the old man couldn't help but laugh.
This is what I said...
"How much your friend likes Pipa..."
So there is no way to accept others hating Pipa for no reason.
So we must prove that other people’s dislike is true and has a reason.
Rather than hating the pipa itself.
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It likes the pipa very, very much."
…
The smile on the old man's face slowly faded.
"But what Pipa brought me..."
"Not a good memory..."
…
"Ahem~"
The old man cleared his throat.
There was a trance between his eyebrows and eyes caused by falling into memories.
"Your friend is right."
"I hate Pipa..."
"There is indeed a reason."
…
The old man finally relented.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows relaxed slightly.
If the old man continued to keep silent, he was going to give up.
He doesn't like to force others.
If not for agreeing to Pipa Ghost, if not for Pipa Ghost really wanting to know the secret behind the old man's hatred of Pipa...
The first time the old man rejected him, he might have stopped.
But everything has its limits, and if he persists, he won't really hit the bottom line of the old man's patience.
…
"...It happened a long time ago..."
After a long time, the old man finally spoke again.
He glanced at the young man beside him and couldn't help but say something.
"You are very patient."
He thought that the other party would be unable to restrain himself from pressing him for an answer.
Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything, and neither did this young man.
Just spend time with him.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
He knew that it was a bit embarrassing for the old man to talk about some "old things".
He understood the old man's hesitation, entanglement and resistance.
We are also willing to give the utmost patience.
…
The old man curled his lips.
I feel like I have been seen through by a young man.
snort.
He snorted inwardly.
Today's young people are very smart.
There are also many clever minds.
Like a fox.
…
But now that it’s begun...
The old man suddenly thought it might be a good idea to talk to this young man.
Otherwise, he might have carried that matter into the coffin.
Although there is nothing regrettable about this.
Rather, that was his plan from the beginning.
did not think of……
…
The old man shook his head slightly.
"I was still very young at that time..."
"I just went to elementary school."
"Parents at that time were just like you at this time. They all wanted their children to learn a specialty."
"Actually, I was willing to learn from the beginning."
"This way I don't have to leave it blank when I fill out the form asking you to write down your specialties."
Having said this, the old man smiled.
Children are really very innocent.
…
Xiao Xiao blinked.
A smile appeared on his face.
This was the first time he had heard of such a reason.
It's really ridiculous, but also very reasonable.
…
The smile on the old man's face quickly disappeared.
"But what my dad wants me to learn is..."
The old man pursed his lips.
"You probably guessed it..."
…
"lute?"
Xiao Xiao blurted out.
After all, the common topic between them revolves around the pipa.
…
"right."
The old man's waist was slightly stooped.
He clasped his hands.
His eyes were staring blankly at the ground in front of him.
"My dad is very insistent."
"...My grandma is a Pipa master."
"When she was young, she was a famous pipa beauty."
"She is pretty and plays the pipa well."
"Everyone who has seen her is full of praise for her elegant demeanor."
"pity."
The old man sighed slightly.
"A beauty is destined to have a bad fate."
"My grandma got sick and passed away when I was very young... before I could remember much."
"My impression of grandma is very vague."
"Basically, I relied on my parents' descriptions to me to understand my grandma."
"Grandma is looking forward to my birth."
"Grandma always hoped that someone in the family could inherit her pipa skills."
"Grandma is the only child of my father."
"My father is my only child."
"In order to fulfill grandma's wish, my father had long promised to let me learn pipa from her."
"...but before I went to elementary school, my grandma passed away."
…
"One day, I came back from school and my dad asked me if I wanted to learn a specialty?"
"I nod."
"The reason is what I just said."
“Many of my classmates have signed up for interest classes.”
"Whether it's when introducing myself or filling out forms, children with special talents always seem to be particularly comfortable."
"I also hope to become such a comfortable person."
"I am willing to join the interest class."
"It would be better to say that before my father told me about this matter, I was thinking of finding an opportunity to tell my parents that I wanted to take a hobby class."
"In the end, my father came to tell me."
"I felt very happy at that time."
"But……"
The old man sighed slightly.
"My father wants me to learn...pipa."
The old man's voice was a bit harsh.
"I do not want to."
"The reason..."
"It's very simple."
The old man smiled.
"At that time, I thought the pipa was an instrument only girls could learn."
"I'm a boy, I don't want to learn pipa."
"Besides, if other students in the class knew that I learned pipa, they would definitely laugh at me."
"I'm afraid it will be like this."
"So, no matter what my father told me, I just shook my head like a rattle."
"I don't want to learn pipa."
"My attitude is very firm."
"But my dad's attitude is more determined."
"Now that I think about it, my father wanted to fulfill my grandma's unfulfilled wish."
"Moreover, my dad actually told me at that time to let me learn and try it first."
"Maybe I'll like it."
"If I really hate it then, he won't force me."
"...My dad has already made concessions."
The old man took a deep breath.
"But I was ignorant at that time."
"My reaction was very violent."
"Just don't learn."
"I'm so disgusted that I don't even want to have anything to do with Pipa..."
