Chapter 3833 Second Degree
The old man opened the glass door somewhat awkwardly.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid of disturbing you?"
……
"What bothers me?"
The old lady rolled her eyes.
Why does the old man suddenly say so many incomprehensible things?
……
"I didn't hear it."
The old lady walked up to the old man and said very straightforwardly.
"Maybe it's just bad luck."
The old lady didn't care too much.
"I'll pay attention next time I come to the balcony."
"you……"
The old lady looked at the old man who was a little disappointed because of her words and asked, "Are you going to go upstairs to ask again tonight?"
……
The old man nodded.
"Since the other households have asked..."
"Just ask them all."
It feels bad to miss a few.
If possible, the old man would like to ask now.
pity.
He's not at home.
……
"伱......"
The old lady's lips moved slightly.
"As you wish."
The old lady said with a sigh.
"Why... do you care so much about the sound of this pipa?"
The old lady couldn't help but ask.
"What you said about disturbing someone's sleep is indeed a reason."
"But the problem is..."
"Have you ever thought about..."
"Yesterday was just a special case."
"After all, who would stay up late at night to play the pipa?"
"Why do you have to find the other person just because you heard it once..."
“It takes so much effort.”
……
"It didn't take much effort..."
The old man retorted subconsciously.
"I just went upstairs and downstairs."
I just knocked on a few doors.
what is this?
……
old lady:……
"Row."
"Go ahead."
"What will you do if they all say they didn't hear it?"
The old lady walked out onto the balcony.
"You're not going to ask everyone in the building?"
……
Uh……
The old lady’s questions stumped the old man.
The old man pursed his lips.
He... doesn't know either.
……
Seeing this, the old lady exclaimed in surprise, "Do you really think so?"
"Old man."
The old lady raised her voice slightly.
"Are you concerned?"
……
"Oops~"
The old man waved his hands hurriedly.
"I haven't said anything yet."
……
"Can you say you didn't think so?"
The old lady has high eyebrows.
"Old man."
"That person who talks about the pipa... isn't he someone of yours?"
……
"Harmful."
The old man's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
“I don’t even know who the other person is.”
If he knew that, why would he need to knock on every door like he did before?
Just go to someone's house and find them.
……
The old lady just said it casually.
Seeing the old man's face darken, she skipped the subject.
"Whatever you want, whatever you want."
The old lady said unhappily.
"You like to find things to do, can I stop you?"
"Just don't get mad because your efforts were in vain."
The old lady muttered finally.
……
"Ah, my phone."
Hearing the familiar ringtone, the old lady called out and hurried towards the room.
The old man can do whatever he likes.
She didn't care. …
The old man sat back on the sofa.
He leaned back.
The soft sofa cushions did not make him feel relaxed.
He knew the old woman's doubts.
But it was difficult for him to explain to the old woman the entanglement between him and Pipa at the moment.
He didn't want to talk about those past events anymore.
I thought that the Pipa would never appear in my life again, but who knew...
His life is almost coming to an end.
And he was given this experience.
Is this really not...an attempt to disgust him...on purpose?
……
After looking at the clock for who knows how many times, the clock finally reached the number he hoped to see.
The old man stood up suddenly.
There was a hint of excitement on his face.
……
But just as the old man was about to take a step, he thought of something and stopped.
Actually, just to be on the safe side...
It's still a bit early to go now.
After all, not everyone can get home immediately after work.
In case the company is far from home, you will get home even later.
Also consider the possibility of overtime.
……
The old man knew that if he went there now, he would most likely be turned away.
Even though he was unwilling, the old man slowly sat back on the sofa.
After waiting for another half an hour, the old man went out.
……
Hearing the old man's movement, the old lady walked out of the room. Looking at the half-open door, she shook her head.
Fortunately, they had lunch early, otherwise, the old man would rather not eat and go knock on the door.
……
The old man felt a little anxious.
The road was not going fast.
He was still a little worried that he went too early.
He climbed up slowly, one step at a time.
……
Ok?
The sound of footsteps behind him made the old man pause slightly.
……
The footsteps became louder and louder.
It means that the owner of the footsteps is getting closer.
……
The old man felt a little uncomfortable.
The clear sound of footsteps behind you makes people feel inexplicably nervous.
The old man slightly quickened his pace.
If you are not careful, the accident that happened during the day will happen again.
The old man tripped over the stairs again.
……
And this time...
Just like last time, the old man was rescued.
But unlike last time, this time, the old man clearly saw his savior.
……
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
The young man held the old man firmly with his hands.
There was still some residual shock on his face.
Just now, he was walking behind the old man.
I saw the whole process of the old man tripping.
He didn't have time to think, he took a big step and rushed behind the old man, reaching out and grabbing the old man's arm.
……
Very lucky.
At the critical moment, he succeeded.
The old man looked frightened, and he was also somewhat frightened.
If he had come a little later, the ending would not have been happy at all.
……
"No, it's okay."
The old man said stumblingly.
But after he said this, the old man felt his heart gradually calm down.
"fine."
This time, the old man spoke very smoothly.
A faint smile also appeared on his face.
"Thanks to you."
"Thank you, young man."
"If it weren't for you, the old man would be in trouble."
The old man began to feel fear in his heart.
Then he felt somewhat frustrated and depressed.
To this day, the pipa still has such a profound influence on him.
He has tripped twice that day.
Before this, he hadn't tripped for many years...
If I trip over the stairs I've walked up and down countless times...
He didn't even remember it himself.
……
"You're welcome."
The young man smiled and waved his hand.
"You're fine."
"...Are you going upstairs?"
The young man felt as if he had asked an unnecessary question.
