Chapter 3873 Tell the Truth

"Is it so difficult?"

The old lady became more and more angry.

I couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"No, I guessed right before, that child is really yours-"

……

"no!"

The old man yelled.

He looked at the old lady speechlessly.

"It means the child is not here..."

"If he heard you say this, he would definitely sue you for libel."

The old man didn't understand why the old woman was so persistent in this unreliable, no, ridiculous guess?
……

The old lady smiled awkwardly.

"Who told you to be so hesitant and awkward?"

The more she spoke, the more confident the old lady became.

……

The old man smiled bitterly.

Got it.

It's still his fault.

……

The old man took a deep breath.

Fine.

He was determined.

Just tell the truth.

……

"..."

The old man opened his mouth.

Just when the old lady thought the old man was going to say something, she waited for a long time but nothing came of it.

The old man is stuck.

No sound was made.

old lady:……

She took a deep breath.

She thought she was not a person with poor patience, but the old man hesitated several times and she felt that her temper was rising.

"What exactly happened?"

The old lady shouted with some helplessness.

"Is it so hard for you to speak?"

……

"…at first glance…"

"You'd think it was ridiculous."

The old man gave the old lady a shot of prevention in advance.

……

The old lady put away her relaxed attitude.

She was made nervous by the old man's cautious attitude.

"absurd?"

How ridiculous is that?

It's hard for the old lady to imagine.

"fine."

The old lady waved her hand generously, "You say."

……

"Then I said..."

The old man cleared his throat.

"..."

……

"Say it."

The old lady wants to hit someone.

If she hadn't been really curious about what the old man said, she would have been too lazy to listen.

Whoever wants to listen can listen.

She couldn't stand the old man's dilatory attitude.

But now, she wanted to know more and more urgently...what were the ridiculous things the old man was talking about?
……

"I really did."

The old man coughed again.

……

The old lady rolled her eyes.

Then he pricked up his ears.

……

"..."

Just when the veins on the old lady's forehead were throbbing and about to explode, the old man spoke.

"I was doing boxing after my walk this morning..."

The old lady closed her mouth.

Listened quietly.

……

"I actually noticed that child a long time ago."

The old man began to speak slowly.

What happened in the morning had a great impact on him.

It’s better to talk to someone.

"I didn't care."

"I thought he was just passing through."

"Or maybe they were curious about my boxing and stopped to watch for a while."

"I'm leaving after I finish boxing."

"Then the kid blocked my way."

"I just realized that they came to see me on purpose."

……

The old lady opened her mouth.

I still resisted the urge to speak.

She planned to wait until the old man finished speaking before asking questions. …

"I'm just very curious."

The old man smiled.

"After all, I don't know that child at all."

"What can he want from me?"

……

"That kid is very straightforward."

"He told me directly... that he was asked by a friend to ask me a question."

Recalling the scene at that time, the old man frowned slightly.

"I feel strange and confused."

"You said that a strange kid suddenly found you, and it wasn't for his own business, but for his friend..."

"It's not a big deal."

"Just came to ask a question."

"If it were you..."

The old man looked at the old lady, "What would you think?"

……

Ok?
The old lady was stunned by the sudden question.

Since the old man asked her himself...

The old lady imagined a similar situation...

"I will ignore him and just leave, right?"

"Or maybe you'll ask him a few more questions to see if he has other intentions?"

The old lady wasn't sure.

Actually it depends on the person.

If the other person gives her a good feeling, she is willing to chat with him for a few more minutes.

If the other party gave her a bad feeling, she would naturally leave as soon as possible.

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded.

“I did both.”

“The other party’s attitude was very good.”

"Even though I was a little aggressive at first because of the other party's sudden words and my vigilance, the child has always been good-tempered."

"I felt a little embarrassed, so I just wanted to hear what he had to say to me."

"But the other party actually asked me directly why I didn't like the pipa..."

……

"How does he know you don't like Pipa?!"

The old lady blurted out.

The old lady was so surprised that she forgot her original plan to wait until the old man finished speaking before asking questions.

……

"Yes."

The old man nodded.

"I was surprised, too."

"But I was more angry at the time because a child saw through my secrets."

"I subconsciously reject any topic related to the pipa."

"I don't want to talk to that kid anymore."

"I want to leave."

The old man paused.

“…He stopped me again.”

The old man sighed slightly.

There was a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

"And you've revealed something that, logically, no one knows except you..."

……

"what's up?"

The old lady asked subconsciously.

Something only she knew?

……

"Have you been troubled recently by the sound of the pipa that only you can hear?"

The old man repeated what the child had said at that time.

"That's what he asked me."

……

"How does he know!?"

The old lady exclaimed again.

This is even more incredible than the other party knowing that the old man hates the pipa.

……

After all, the old man's dislike for Pipa might have been revealed accidentally at some point...

The old man hated the pipa so obviously...

Just hearing the sound drives me crazy.

Unless someone is blind, who can't see that the old man hates the pipa?
However, recently the old man heard the sound of a pipa on the balcony, and so far only the old man heard it...

She didn't hear any of it.

She really couldn't figure this out.

The old man was right about this situation. She should be the only one who knew about it.

still is……

An idea suddenly occurred to the old lady.

"When you went to knock on the door before, did you tell anyone about this situation?"

……

"No."

The old man shook his head.

"Why should I keep saying this?"

"and……"

The old man recalled, “When I went to knock on the door, I didn’t know that I was the only one who heard the sound of the pipa.”

"How do I tell them?"

"I just asked them if they heard the sound of the lute?"

"At most, I said I heard the sound of a pipa in the middle of the night..."
