Chapter 3859 That Friend
The old man pursed his lips.

He wondered if the young man was trying to trick him again.
However, this question could not have been asked by the other party without knowing anything...

The old man felt his head was about to hurt.

……

"……Why do you ask?"

The old man spoke slowly and his voice was a little hoarse.

"what do you know?"

"Who told you that?"

"you……"

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"I told you, I was asked by a friend."

"These things were naturally told to me by my friends."

……

"Who is your friend?"

The old man was somewhat anxious.

He had a vague feeling in his heart...the friend mentioned by this young man...was the key to everything.

"Is it someone I know?"

"How does he know..."

To be honest, the question that the young man just asked... as far as he knew, only the old woman knew the answer.

but……

It can’t be the old woman.

If the old woman really wants to ask him something, she can just ask directly.

Why would he go through so much trouble... and let a young man he didn't know ask him?
what is this?
How strange.

So the friend that this young man is talking about is definitely not an old woman.

Then who could it be?

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"My friend wants to know..."

"Why do you hate the lute?"

Xiao Xiao returned to the original question.

That was also the purpose of his coming here.

……

"The pipa performance is very beautiful-"

"What's so moving!?"

The old man interrupted Xiao Xiao rudely.

His face was as sinking as water.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the old man quietly.

Not frightened by the old man's sudden interruption and loud voice.

His expression was calm, yet he revealed a persistent attitude.

……

The old man swallowed.

"…What's this?"

"Is it okay if I just hate the Pipa?"

"Who says you can't hate the Pipa?"

"Some people hate suona, some people hate trumpet, and there must be some people who hate pipa."

"What's so weird about this?"

The older man became more and more confident as he spoke.

Yes.

Does it bother others if he hates something?

……

"Why do you hate the lute?"

"I-"

The old man swallowed loudly.

Then he asked, “Why should I tell you?”

Isn't this his private matter?

Who is this young man?
What does it have to do with him?
Why should he tell this young man?
……

“There really is a reason.”

Xiao Xiao turned his head slightly and glanced at the Pipa Ghost who had been standing quietly behind him.

The Pipa Ghost’s feeling was right.

……

"Varied-"

The old man's voice stopped suddenly.

He waved his fist in annoyance.

He reacted...

Why did he tell others what he just said...

Just say there is no reason.

"…What's the reason?"

"No reason."

The old man looked fierce.

……

Xiao Xiao laughed.

Is the old man clearly cheating?

……

The young man's smile irritated the old man a little.

The old man just felt his face suddenly getting hot.

I wonder if it has turned red?

It would be really embarrassing if it turned red.

……

"I am leaving."

The old man just wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

"Don't stop me."

With previous experience, the old man spoke first.

"I'm going to be angry."

Some things can only happen once.

There must be a moderation in everything.

……

"Old man."

Xiao Xiaoru really did what the old man said and did not step forward to stop the old man.

But he didn't let the old man leave.

"Don't you want to know who that friend of mine is?"

……

The old man stopped. He...

I really want to know.

Apart from the old woman, who else... could say that he was the only one who heard the performance of the pipa during this period?
Can you ask him why he doesn't like the pipa?

Not to mention the previous one...

He only recently told his wife about the latter incident.

He didn't hide it on purpose.

But it's not necessary.

It's all in the past.

Most people don’t have much chance to come across a pipa in their daily lives.

He thought he had forgotten those old things.

did not think of……

……

The old man took a deep breath.

There was a fierce struggle between his conscience and his desires in his mind.

He knew that if he left like this...

What happened today will probably stay in his mind for a long, long time.

He will be upset about it.

he knows……

……

Stay?

The old man was somewhat unwilling.

I was about to leave in a rage just now...

Is this the result?

Did someone's words make him stay?

It would be better for this young man to stand in front of him like before and leave him no way to leave.

He felt better this way.

……

Hey.

The old man sighed inwardly.

It was he who asked the young man not to stop him.

Young people are very obedient.

He thought so...

Humph.

This young man clearly has his plan in mind.

I'm sure he will stay.

……

Although I know exactly what this young man is planning...

But the old man still didn't take another step.

He didn't look at the young man either.

His body stood there somewhat stiffly.

……

"Old man."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"My friend would like to know why you hate the lute so much?"

……

"What does it have to do with him?!"

The old man turned his head away angrily.

Why is this the problem again?!
Didn’t you say to tell him who that friend is?
"This is my business."

"It has nothing to do with him."

“…Besides…”

Noting the young man's peaceful expression, the old man clenched his fists.

He tried not to sound too bad.

"It's not important."

"Not important at all."

Whether he likes or hates the pipa is a trivial matter.

Why does the other party keep pursuing this issue?

No.

It was the friend he mentioned who kept pursuing this issue.

and many more.

The old man suddenly became suspicious.

That friend the other person was talking about...does he really exist?

That friend...

Could it be this young man himself?

……

"important."

Xiao Xiao looked serious.

The old man was stunned.

……

"Your answer is important to my friend."

Xiao Xiao continued.

……

"why?"

The old man really didn't understand.

He felt puzzled ever since this young man approached him.

The friend he mentioned and the questions he asked made him feel even more confused.

……

"It likes the lute very much."

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

……

Just with this one sentence, the old man had a sudden sense of enlightenment.

It turned out to be like this...

That's what young people are like -
The old man assumed that the mysterious friend was the same age as the young man in front of him.

You can't help but let others dislike what you like.

I feel like the world revolves around me...

……

The old man felt inexplicably relieved.

Fortunately, he had been vaguely worried before.

It turns out that it was just the young people's unwillingness to accept.

……

The old man pulled the corner of his mouth.

"That friend of yours is really nosy."
