Chapter 3828 Neighbors
No...

The sound surrounded him.

Seems to be everywhere.

The old man couldn't tell where exactly it came from.

……

"boom!"

The balcony door was slammed shut.

The old man leaned against the glass door, breathing heavily.

He is tired.

His head was swollen and throbbing with pain.

He lowered his head as if overwhelmed.

……

No...

The old man finally recovered and made up his mind.

tomorrow……

Tomorrow he will knock on the door next door.

This time he had a plausible excuse.

Practicing Pipa in the early morning...

Isn't this disturbing people's dreams?

……

The old man went back to bed and never fell asleep again.

I opened my eyes until dawn.

He didn't have time to eat breakfast.

After a simple wash, he went to knock on the door next door.

……

He knocked on the door for a long time.

Then I heard a sleepy voice.

"Who?"

……

The old man came to his senses.

It's still early.

He tilted his head and looked at the sky outside.

It was already bright outside.

It's another sunny day.

……

"Who?"

The door was opened a crack.

A girl's head popped out from it.

When the girl found that there was an old man standing outside, she immediately opened the door.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

The girl asked puzzledly.

……

"Excuse me."

This was the first time the old man knocked on the door of the house opposite which had a new tenant.

"Did I disturb your rest?"

The old man smiled apologetically.

……

"fine."

The girl waved her hand.

"I just happened to be getting up, too."

The old man's good attitude eliminated the last bit of resentment in her heart.

All that was left in her heart was curiosity.

"What do you want from me?"

……

"Is such that……."

The old man got to the point.

"I want to ask..."

The old man took a deep breath and then continued to ask, "Are you practicing the pipa?"

……

what?
this problem……

The girl was really confused by the question.

After a second of silence, the girl shook her head.

"No."

“I don’t know how to play the pipa.”

"……Why do you ask?"

The girl couldn't help but feel doubtful.

……

The girl's answer disappointed the old man.

Isn't this the family...

“…I heard the sound of a lute being played.”

The old man explained, "It was in the middle of the night."

"So I want to find someone who plays the pipa..."

"Tell him not to play the pipa so late at night."

The old man told the reason he had thought of before coming here.

……

"Midnight?"

Girl surprised.

……

"Yes."

The old man nodded, "At 2:30 in the morning."

……

wow~
The girl opened her mouth in surprise.

"so late……"

"Doesn't she sleep?"

……

The old man smiled bitterly.

"I do not know either."

……

"This is really disturbing my sweet dreams..."

The girl murmured.

"Hey……"

The girl tilted her head.

"Why didn't I hear it?"

"Maybe I slept too soundly."

The girl quickly figured out the reason.

……

"Did you hear it during the day?"

The old man asked.

I want to see if I can get more information from this girl.

……

"daytime?"

The girl shook her head subconsciously.

"No."

"I have to work during the day." "It will be evening when I get back."

“Not once did I hear anyone practicing an instrument.”

Girls may not recognize the sound of the pipa.

But she still knew the sound of the instrument.

Now it’s not a question of whether it’s a pipa or not.

It was that she had never heard any musical instrument at home.

……

There's none……

The old man was disappointed again.

……

Noticing the old man's disappointment, the girl pursed her lips.

"that……"

“Maybe I just missed it.”

After all, like most young people, every day, excluding sleeping time, she spends much more time at the company than at home.

"I'll pay attention later."

"If I hear it, I'll tell you."

……

"really?"

The old man grinned.

"Thank you, little girl."

"If you find anything..."

"I live across the street from you."

"You can knock on my door."

……

The girl raised her eyes and glanced at the half-open room behind the old man.

Oh.

It turned out that the old man lived right opposite her.

No wonder you can come and knock on the door so early.

The girl understood something.

……

No wonder she hasn't recognized her next-door neighbor even though she's been here for a month.

Her schedule is out of sync with the old man's.

Today was really the first time she saw the old man.

……

"Ok."

The girl nodded.

"I see."

……

"sorry to bother you."

The old man smiled.

Then waved his hand.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."

"If I make you late for work, I'll be guilty."

.......
Hey?
After the old man reminded her, the girl's heart actually skipped a beat.

and many more.

what time is it now?
……

"go in."

The old man motioned to the girl to close the door.

"You might want to hurry up a bit."

.......
"Ah."

The girl curled the corners of her mouth.

"Goodbye, grandpa."

……

"Goodbye."

The old man looked at the girl and closed the door.

He then turned around and went to the house next door.

There are only three families living on this floor.

This household in front of me...

If nothing unexpected happens...

The old man reached out and knocked on the door.

……

The old man knocked on the door again patiently for a long time.

……

"Who?!"

This time, an impatient male voice came from behind the door.

The old man was slightly stunned.

The movements of his hands paused for a second before continuing again.

……

"Who?"

The door was opened forcefully.

Obviously, there was a lot of emotion.

A slightly sloppy man appeared behind the wide open door.

Noticing that the person standing outside was an elderly man, the man reached out and rubbed his hair.

It made the messy hair stand out even more.

A real chicken coop head.

……

The man's expression relaxed slightly.

"Old man, did you knock on the wrong door?"

The man's voice was hoarse and deep, as if he had not yet woken up.

The man reached out and touched his neck.

He cleared his throat a few times.

Ah.

His "touching" voice.

.......
The old man was somewhat caught off guard by the man's question.

After a second of stunned silence, he shook his head.

"No."

……

"I do not know you."

The man is very direct.

He leaned lazily against the door frame.

Cross your legs.

He blinked several times.

His vision was still a little blurry.

He reached up and rubbed his temple.

He worked overtime until twelve o'clock last night.

This was the fourth day in a row that he had worked overtime until midnight and returned home in the early morning.

The good news is that his project is finally over.

He specially took a day off this morning, intending to sleep in the whole morning and get a good sleep.

Unexpectedly, I was awakened by a knock on the door early in the morning.

The fact that he could speak to the old man in such a kind voice at this time was a reflection of his good character.
