Chapter 299 The audience left, grievance and satisfaction

After the performance, the Pipa Ghost held the pipa and looked up at Xiao Xiao. He was not as calm and confident as when he was performing. His lips were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of nervousness.

But there was a clear request for praise in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao laughed, but did not keep Pipa Ghost waiting for long, "Pipa Ghost, you played very well."

“It’s a very beautiful song.”

The Pipa Ghost's eyes suddenly brightened, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.

The smile on Xiao Xiao's lips couldn't help but deepen.

"Pipa ghost, get up."

"Don't sit on the ground next time it rains."

Xiao Xiao looked at the wet Pipa Ghost and frowned slightly.

Maybe the Pipa Ghost has become accustomed to the dampness of rainy days and doesn't mind getting caught in the rain and sitting in puddles, but it will still be a bit uncomfortable, right?
This cold and sticky feeling is uncomfortable just thinking about it.

The Pipa Ghost tilted its head with some confusion in its eyes, but stood up obediently, pursed its lips and smiled at Xiao Xiao, looking extremely well-behaved.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, Xiao Xiao really wanted to rub the Pipa Ghost's head.

Nowadays, even children aged seven or eight are so noisy that they cause people a headache. It is really rare to find a boy as innocent as the Pipa Ghost.

He is indeed a monster who knows nothing about the world.

It is clearly not a monster that lives in the deep mountains and forests, but is always wandering among the traffic and the streets and alleys. However, the Pipa Ghost seems to live in its own world, not affected by the worldly life at all.

……

Xiao Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked past the Pipa Ghost and behind it.

At some point, Yu Shiqi had disappeared.

"Have a drink~"

Pipa Gui looked in the direction Xiao Xiao was looking in confusion. A car was speeding past. The rain was hitting the window glass and reflecting the headlights from behind. Pipa Gui could see the driver inside with a slightly frown on his face.

However, there was no trace of it on the glass where rain was flowing.

The Pipa Ghost turned his eyes away calmly. Cars were constantly passing by. It was an ordinary scene, and there was nothing worth his attention.

So, what is Xiao Xiao looking at?
Or, what are you looking for?
The Pipa Ghost didn't notice anything and turned his puzzled gaze to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze and met Pipa Gui's puzzled gaze. He couldn't help but smile, "There was another audience just now."

"But he has left."

"Have a drink~"

There is another audience? The Pipa Ghost was somewhat puzzled and surprised. His eyes were wide open and sparkling. He turned his head and looked around carefully, but his eyes gradually dimmed.

As expected...he has left.

The Pipa Ghost has been inseparable from the pipa in its arms ever since it can remember. It likes the pipa and it likes to play it. Of course, it also likes to play pranks.

However, the reason the prank started in the first place was simply because no one appreciated its performance.

No matter how well it played, no one praised it.

It didn't care at first, or it didn't realize it at all.

But one day, it realized this.

It was an evening, the sky was filled with gorgeous sunset glow, and a mother and son were walking towards it.

The little boy was only about seven or eight years old. He held the harmonica in his chubby little hands and played it awkwardly. The intermittent sound did not form a tune at all.

But the little boy was blowing it very seriously, his cheeks were puffed up and his childish brows were twisted together.

The mother beside him slowed down and looked at the little boy with loving face.

The song ended, and beads of sweat appeared on the little boy's forehead. He looked at his mother with a chubby face, a little embarrassed but pretending not to care.

The mother gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, her low voice gentle and soft, "It sounds good, baby is amazing."

The little boy immediately smiled, his eyes curved, and he was very happy.

The mother held the little boy's small, soft hand and walked slowly.

The smile under the sunset is incredibly gentle.

The Pipa Ghost was inexplicably dazed at the time. He stared blankly for a long time and even followed the mother and son back home.

It didn't come back to its senses until the door closed in front of it and the sound of "click" was heard.

It didn't know what it was thinking. It just felt that there were many emotions in its heart that it had never experienced before, rising and falling like a shallow tide, swaying it in a trance.

It couldn't help but touch the pipa in its arms, which sounded much better.

Why is no one praising it?

The Pipa Ghost felt inexplicably aggrieved.

……

The Pipa Ghost has been playing for people all the time, but has never received the praise it longs for.

Later, it got angry.

It started the mischief.

But I found that everything was the same as before, without any change.

It laughed happily every time, but sometimes, holding the pipa in its arms, it felt some indescribable emotions.

Until one day, someone asked it, "Why don't you finish playing a piece?"

……

"Hello, Pipa Ghost, my name is Xiao Xiao, can you play another song for me?"

“A complete song.”

"Thank you, Pipa Ghost, you play the pipa really well."

“It’s a very beautiful song.”

The Pipa Ghost thought of the mother and son again, "It sounds great, the baby is amazing."

……

Pipa Gui only felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, but he was inexplicably shy. So when Xiao Xiao looked over, he couldn't help but make a face.

Seeing the other party's helpless look, the Pipa Ghost's eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, shining brightly.

……

The rain gradually turned into a drizzle, and a few rays of light shone through the gaps in the gloomy sky, making the sky a little brighter.

Although he felt a little disappointed not to see another audience, the Pipa Ghost soon became happy again.

Because I met Xiao Xiao today.

Xiao Xiao praised it for its good performance again.

"Pipa Ghost, you will meet it again in the future."

Seeing that Pipa Ghost looked a little regretful, Xiao Xiao spoke to comfort him.

Since Yu Shiqi was attracted by the Pipa Ghost's performance this time, she will be attracted by it next time as well.

However, the Pipa Ghost was completely focused on playing and had no reaction to the outside world at all.

And Yu Shiqi was so silent whether she came or left, and it was unknown whether Pipa Ghost could see this unexpected listener.

“That’s an audience that only shows up on a rainy day.”

Xiao Xiao reminded Pipa Ghost.

"The Pipa Ghost plays so well, there will be more and more listeners."

Xiao Xiao had noticed that the Pipa Ghost was always particularly happy whenever he praised him.

It probably also hopes to have more real listeners, listeners who can respond to it and praise it?

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost nodded, it knew.

In fact, just having Xiao Xiao is enough.

It is happy as long as there is one person who can hear it playing.

It doesn’t matter if other people can’t hear it.

It wants to play for them, even if they can't hear it.

Now that it has met Xiao Xiao, its only regret is gone.
