Chapter 3861 Let go
It really annoys the old man.
Has he had any bad luck lately?
But he has obviously gone to the temple to worship...
Sure enough...
Isn’t it of any use...
The old man is not a very superstitious person either.
Worshiping him in the temple is more for peace of mind.
……
"Why do I hate Pipa so much..."
The old man murmured.
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"It's okay if you don't like Pipa."
Everyone has their own preferred instrument.
But...
"Your attitude towards Pipa is a bit more than normal."
……
"So you think there is a hidden reason why I hate Pipa?"
The old man answered.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"Yes."
"It thinks you must have something hidden."
"Otherwise I wouldn't hate Pipa so much."
……
"Poof~"
Even in such a tangled situation, the old man couldn't help laughing.
What I said...
"How much your friend likes Pipa..."
So there is no way to accept others hating Pipa for no reason.
So we must prove that other people's dislike is true and has a reason.
Rather than hating Pipa itself.
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It likes the pipa very, very much."
……
The smile on the old man's face slowly faded.
"But what Pipa brought me..."
"Not good memories..."
……
"Ahem~"
The old man cleared his throat.
There was a trance between his eyebrows and eyes caused by falling into memories.
"Your friend is right."
"I hate Pipa..."
"There is indeed a reason."
……
The old man finally relented.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows relaxed slightly.
If the old man continued to remain tight-lipped, he was going to give up.
He doesn't like to force others.
If not for agreeing to Pipa Ghost, if not for Pipa Ghost really wanting to know the secret behind the old man’s hatred of Pipa...
The first time the old man rejected him, he might have stopped.
But everything has its limits, and no matter how hard he persists, he won't really hit the bottom line of the old man's patience.
……
"...It happened a long time ago..."
After a long time, the old man finally spoke again.
He glanced at the young man beside him and couldn't help but say something.
"You are very patient."
He thought that the other party would be unable to restrain himself from pressing him for an answer.
Unexpectedly, if he didn't make a sound, neither would this young man.
Just spend time with him.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
He knew that it was a bit embarrassing for the old man to talk about some "old things".
He understood the old man's hesitation, entanglement, and resistance.
Also willing to give the utmost patience.
……
The old man curled his lips.
There was an unpleasant feeling that I had been seen through by a young man.
snort.
He snorted inwardly.
Today's young people are very smart.
There are also many scheming minds.
Like a fox.
……
But now that it’s begun...
The old man suddenly felt that it might not be a bad idea to talk to this young man.
Otherwise, he might have carried that matter all the way to the coffin.
Although there is nothing regrettable about this.
Rather, that was his plan from the beginning.
Didn't expect...
...The old man shook his head slightly.
"I was still very young at that time..."
"I just went to elementary school."
“Parents at that time were just like you at this time, they all wanted their children to learn a specialty.”
"Actually, I was willing to learn from the beginning."
"This way I don't have to leave it blank when I fill out the form asking you to write down your specialty."
Having said this, the old man smiled.
Children are really very innocent.
……
Xiao Xiao blinked.
A smile appeared on his face.
This was the first time he had heard of such a reason.
It's really ridiculous, but also very reasonable.
……
The smile on the old man's face quickly disappeared.
"But what my dad wants me to learn is..."
The old man pursed his lips.
"You probably guessed it..."
……
"Pipa?"
Xiao Xiao blurted out.
After all, the common topic between them revolves around Pipa.
……
"Yes."
The old man's waist was slightly stooped.
He clasped his hands.
His eyes were staring blankly at the ground in front of him.
"My dad is very insistent."
"...My grandma is a master of Pipa."
"When she was young, she was a famous pipa beauty."
"She is beautiful and plays the pipa well."
"Everyone who has seen him is full of praise for his magnanimity."
"What a pity."
The old man sighed slightly.
"A beauty is destined to have a bad fate."
"My grandma got sick and passed away when I was very young... before I could remember much."
"My impression of grandma is very vague."
“Basically, I have some understanding of my grandma based on my parents’ descriptions to me.”
"Grandma is looking forward to my birth."
"Grandma has always hoped that someone in the family could inherit her pipa skills."
"Grandma is the only child of my father."
"My father is my only child."
"In order to fulfill my grandma's wish, my father had long promised to let me learn pipa from her."
"...But before I went to elementary school, my grandma passed away."
……
"One day, I came back from school and my dad asked me if I wanted to learn a specialty?"
"I nodded."
"The reason is what I just said."
“Many of the students in the class have signed up for interest classes.”
"Whether it is when introducing myself or filling out a form, children with special talents always seem to be particularly comfortable."
"I also hope to be such a comfortable person."
"I am willing to participate in interest classes."
"It would be better to say that before my father told me about this matter, I was thinking of finding an opportunity to tell my parents that I wanted to take a hobby class."
"In the end, my father came to tell me."
"I felt very happy at the time."
"But..."
The old man sighed slightly.
"My father wants me to learn...pipa."
The old man's voice was a bit difficult.
"I don't want to."
"The reason..."
"It's very simple."
The old man smiled.
“At that time, I thought the pipa was an instrument only girls could learn.”
"I'm a boy, I don't want to learn pipa."
"Besides, if other students in the class knew that I learned pipa, they would definitely laugh at me."
"I'm afraid it will be like this."
"So, no matter what my father told me, I just shook my head like a rattle."
"I don't want to learn pipa."
"My attitude is very firm."
“But my dad’s attitude is more determined.”
“Thinking about it now, my dad wanted to fulfill my grandma’s unfulfilled wish.”
“Moreover, my dad actually told me at that time to let me learn and try it first.”
"Maybe I'll like it."
"If I really hate it then, he won't force me."
"...My dad has already made concessions."
The old man took a deep breath.
"But I was ignorant at that time."
"My reaction was very violent."
"Just don't learn."
“I even hate it so much that I don’t want to have anything to do with Pipa...”
