Chapter 3834 Various
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

"I'm going upstairs."

"You too, right?"

"let's go."

The old man took a step forward.

"Don't delay your return home."

……

A smile appeared on the young man's face.

……

The old man held the handrail with one hand and slowly walked up the stairs.

He was frightened by two failed attempts at wrestling.

It's better to be cautious.

He looked back at the young man following behind him, then turned his body to give up the seat next to him.

"You go first."

The old man smiled.

He walks slowly.

Don't waste the time of young people who are quick and agile.

……

The young man grinned.

"fine."

"Please continue."

"I live on the upper floor. There's no rush."

He follows the old man and can also prevent him from getting into accidents again.

……

Oh oh.

The old man nodded subconsciously.

Live in the previous -
Why! ?

The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"You live on the upper floor?!"

……

The young man was a little frightened by the old man's excessive reaction and loud voice.

He unconsciously leaned back slightly.

"Uh-huh."

The young man responded.

"I live on the upper floor."

"What's wrong?"

Is there any problem with him living on the upper floor?

Why did the old man react like this?
……

The old man smiled bitterly, acutely aware of the distance the young man had distanced himself from.

"Excuse me."

"I was a little too excited."

"scared you."

……

"F-okay."

The young man touched his nose.

He felt that it was not a glorious thing to admit that he was scared.

……

The old man did not expose the young man.

He followed the young man's words and said, "That's good."

"I'm glad I didn't scare you."

The old man was a little excited.

Ever since he left home, he has been worried about whether the people upstairs have returned...

Unexpectedly, they "came to my door" on their own initiative.

This can also be said to be... getting it without any effort, right?

……

"I'm here to see you."

The old man tried hard to control his tone.

Don't be too happy.

It will make people think you have bad intentions.

Although, the other party obviously already had some such doubts.

……

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."

Although the old man wanted to ask the other party questions directly, seeing that the other party was a little wary, the old man smiled and chatted with the young man for a few words first.

"I'm worried that I might come too early. Young people like you don't seem to get home from get off work very early..."

The old man thought of one of his chess friends who complained to him, saying that his granddaughter had to work overtime almost every day since she started working and could not make it in time for dinner at home.

……

The young man quickly relaxed.

He was just a little frightened by the old man's sudden loud shout, and his confusion about the old man's reaction inevitably gave rise to some doubts and concerns in his heart.

But then I thought, the other person is just an elderly person.

If he hadn't acted in time, the old man might have been injured.

Why should a grown man like him be afraid of an old man?
The young man grinned.

"Grandpa, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I should……"

"I don't know you."

"...You know me?"

The young man became uncertain.

……

The old man shook his head.

"you do not know me."

"I don't know you either."

"I came to you because I have a question for you."

……

"what is the problem?"

A hint of curiosity appeared on the young man's face.

……

"Have you heard the sound of the pipa at home these days?"

The old man stopped beating around the bush and asked directly. …

"lute?"

The young man was slightly stunned.

What an unexpected question.

"Is that the lute that can be played?"

The young man made a plucking motion.

……

"Correct."

The old man nodded.

A faint light appeared in his eyes.

"Did you hear it?"

……

"I……"

The young man sensed the old man's expectation for his answer, and he felt a sense of burden.

Uh……

The man hesitated, "I can't hear the sound of the pipa."

Even now, if he were to imagine, he would have no idea what the pipa sounds like.

……

The old man was startled.

The old man was quite happy that he didn't get an immediate denial.

The old man looked slightly more relaxed.

He said, "Don't be too rigid about the pipa."

"Did you hear any musical instrument?"

……

Musical instrument?

The young man reached out and tapped his temple.

Musical instruments...

After a while, the young man shook his head apologetically.

"Excuse me."

"I didn't hear any musical instrument."

"But I usually like to listen to music when I get home."

As if he was afraid of disappointing the old man, the young man hurriedly explained, "The sound is quite loud."

"Maybe that's why I didn't hear any musical instruments."

"Are you looking for someone who plays the lute?"

The young man easily guessed the old man's purpose.

“You can ask someone else.”

“Maybe they heard it.”

……

The old man nodded.

"Ok."

"Sorry to bother you."

The old man sighed inwardly.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence...

All I heard before was the sound of the kid next door practicing the piano.

Now the sound of my own music drowns out the noises outside...

They all seemed to have various but reasonable reasons for not hearing the sound of the pipa.

……

"fine."

Seeing that the young man was still looking at him hesitantly, the old man smiled.

"Let's go back."

"It's so late, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Don't starve yourself."

……

The young man smiled shyly at the old man again, then opened the door and went into his room.

……

The door is closed.

For a moment, the old man felt like he was all alone.

The old man shook his head slightly.

All right.

The next one.

The old man took a step forward.

……

The knock on the door sounded again.

Although the young man did not give him the answer he wanted, it made him more confident that he would not be rejected.

At this time, people who got off work came back.

……

The old man knocked on the door patiently.

……

"Who?"

The sound coming from inside the door made the old man grin.

Sure enough, he was at home.

He said nothing.

But keep knocking on the door.

The main reason was that he couldn't explain his identity and the reason why he appeared at someone's door and knocked in a few words through the door.

……

"I'm coming."

The tightly closed door was suddenly opened.

The old man subconsciously leaned back slightly.

The girl with short hair opened her eyes wide and looked at the strange old man at the door.

"Grandpa, you..."

"Did you knock on the wrong door?"

"I thought my package had arrived..."

The girl muttered quietly.
