Chapter 3840 Not in a bad mood
A yellow cat nimbly jumped onto the roof of the car.

Lie down gracefully on the roof of the car.

The tail is coiled around the body.

In the sunshine, the yellow kitten looks warm and cozy.

Even if you can't touch it, you can still vaguely feel the warmth and softness.

……

The Pipa ghost imitates the cat.

Curl up into a ball.

Get down on the balcony railing.

……

The Pipa Ghost squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Feel the touch of bright sunshine on your eyes.

"Drink~"

It imitated the cat and meowed.

……

The old man and the old woman came back after having lunch outside.

It was obvious that the old man was in a good mood.

The scent of incense in the temple makes people calm.

Most importantly, he drew a good lot today.

Suddenly, the light in front of his eyes became bright, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

……

"I told you to go to the temple to pray a long time ago..."

The old lady laughed and teased the old man, "It will save you from being restless these days..."

……

"Cough cough~"

The old man coughed a few times in a pretentious manner.

Who knew he was so lucky?

Even if he didn't completely believe in the so-called fortune-telling and the like...

But it is always a happy thing to draw a good fortune in the temple.

The old man swept away the gloom of the past few days.

I felt a little relieved.

He felt as if God had told him that everything was fine, so why was he still worrying about anything?

……

The Pipa Ghost tilted his head.

Well.

The old man was very happy.

So……

It plucks the strings with ease.

……

Almost at the same time, the old man's body froze.

The smile on his face froze.

And then...it fell apart.

……

"Old man?"

The old lady's heart skipped a beat.

Why did he suddenly change his attitude?

"what happened?"

"you……"

A guess flashed through the old lady's mind.

Without time to think, the old lady blurted out, "Did you hear it again?!"

……

The old man looked grim.

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.

A few seconds later, he took a few big strides to the balcony.

"brush!"

"boom!"

The glass door of the balcony was slammed shut by the old man.

……

The old lady's eyebrows were twitching.

She couldn't help but reach out and press her eyebrows.

~
She took a deep breath.

……

“I really heard it…”

The old lady murmured.

It also……

The old lady pursed her lips.

What a slap in the face.

……

They came out of the temple happily.

The lunch was also delicious.

They successfully completed today's trip and returned home.

They thought things would change...

They almost thought they had got what they wanted.

result……

As soon as they returned, the old man heard the sound of the lute that they thought they would never hear again.

Isn't this timing too good?
……

If the old lady hadn't been unsure whether there was really anyone playing the pipa...

She almost felt that the other party did it on purpose.

Deliberately making fun of the old man.

but……

why?
Why are you teasing the old man?
Is it...

Is the person playing the pipa an old friend of the old man?
wrong……

The old lady shook her head.

If he was an old friend...how could he make the old man so upset and angry?
If we were old friends, we would have stopped this uninteresting game long ago.

If it's an old friend...

Why hasn’t he shown up yet?
……

and many more.

The old lady held her forehead.

Why did she start thinking based on the premise that there really was a pipa player?

There is clearly no evidence to support this premise.

……"alright."

The old lady walked up to the old man.

She patted the old man on the back gently.

"Don't be angry."

"Isn't it the sound of the pipa?"

"What's there to be angry about?"

……

"Speaking of which..."

The old lady seemed thoughtful.

"You just heard the sound of the pipa on the balcony, right?"

"If you really hate the sound of the pipa that much..."

"It would be better if we don't go to the balcony."

"…Actually, it doesn't matter if you hear it during the day."

"You don't normally go to the balcony at night."

The old lady really thought it was a small problem.

Who knew the old man would make it so serious...

"By the way..."

The old lady still didn't understand, "Why do you hate the sound of the pipa so much?"

"We've been together for so many years, and I didn't know..."

She had never associated the pipa with the old man.

But the old man hates Pipa so much...

Is it because of something that happened in the past?

……

The old lady finally thought of this.

She felt helpless and also a little amused at her own slowness.

It turns out that people are getting older.

It is easy to "lose sight of one thing while focusing on another".

Her attention had previously been drawn to the old man's behavior.

And forget to think about the reasons behind the old man's behavior.

……

"Hate is hate."

The old man's explanation sounded a bit like a child's mischief.

"What reason do I need to hate you?"

……

old lady:……

This... makes sense.

Sometimes, hate is really just hate.

But the old man’s attitude towards Pipa…is that really all?

……

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

The old man has raised eyebrows.

……

"nothing."

The old lady smiled.

"Didn't you say you were tired on the way back?"

"Now go inside and rest."

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded.

He did feel a little tired.

……

The old man stopped talking.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked into the house.

When passing by the balcony, the old man did not turn around to look at it.

……

The old lady watched the old man's back disappear behind the door.

She turned and walked towards the balcony.

Ever since she knew that the old man heard the sound of the pipa on the balcony, she paid special attention to it.

Although so far, she has never heard the very unpleasant pipa sound mentioned by the old man.

……

I stood on the balcony for a while, but as expected, I got nothing.

The old lady shook her head slightly.

She crouched down.

The scent of flowers fills your nose.

Mingyan's color is eye-catching.

Beautiful things can really make people happy.

……

The Pipa Ghost's narration is almost over.

Ever since returning from the temple that time, the old man has become more and more reluctant to go to the balcony.

Occasionally, the Pipa Ghost could see the old man looking at him.

Sometimes it's just a passing glance.

Sometimes he seemed to be in a trance.

……

The Pipa Ghost also has an inexplicable persistence.

It always stays on the balcony.

Never set foot in the old man's house.

It likes the view from the balcony overlooking the scenery below.

Not too close.

It won’t be too far.

look up.

The sky will also feel very close.

Well.

It’s also because the weather has been really good these days.

So, even if things are not going very smoothly, it will not be anxious or irritated.

As far as it could remember, it had never seemed to be anxious or irritated about anything.

Because it takes a lot of time.

Many reasons why humans get anxious or irritable are that they have consumed too much time or there is not much time left.
