Chapter 3873 Tell the Truth
"Is it so difficult?"
The old lady became more and more angry.
Doubts arose in my heart.
"No way I guessed it right before, that child is really yours-"
……
"No!"
The old man shouted.
He looked at the old lady speechlessly.
"That is, the child is not here..."
"If he hears what you said, he will definitely sue you for slander."
The old man doesn’t understand why the old woman is so persistent in this unreliable, no, ridiculous guess?
……
The old lady sneered.
"Who said you were hesitant and embarrassed to speak?"
The more she talked, 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.
OK.
He was determined.
Tell the truth, 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 didn't hear anything more.
The old man is stuck.
No sound was made.
Old lady:......
She took a deep breath.
She considered herself not a person with poor patience, but the old man repeatedly hesitated to speak, and she felt that her temper was about to rise.
"What exactly happened?"
The old lady shouted with a bit of helplessness.
"Is it so difficult for you to speak?"
……
"...It just sounds like it at first glance..."
"Things you'll find ridiculous."
The old man had vaccinated the old lady in advance.
……
The old lady put away her relaxed attitude.
She became nervous by the old man's cautious attitude.
"Absurd?"
How ridiculous?
It was hard for the old lady to imagine.
"It's okay."
The old lady waved her hand grandly, "You said it."
……
"Then I said..."
The old man cleared his throat.
"..."
……
"Say it."
The old lady wants to hit someone.
If her curiosity hadn't been piqued by the old man's words, she wouldn't have bothered to listen.
Whoever wants to listen will listen.
She couldn't stand the old man's nagging attitude.
But now, she wanted to know more and more urgently... What were the ridiculous things the old man said?
……
"I really said it."
The old man coughed again.
……
The old lady rolled her eyes.
Then his ears perked up.
……
"..."
Just when the veins on the old lady's forehead were about to explode, the old man spoke.
"I was boxing after walking in the morning..."
The old lady closed her mouth.
Listened quietly.
……
"I actually noticed that child a long time ago."
The old man spoke slowly.
What happened that morning had a profound impact on him.
It's okay to find someone to talk to.
"I didn't care."
"I thought he was just passing through."
"Maybe he was curious about my boxing, so he stopped and watched it for a while."
"I'm leaving after the punch."
"It turns out that kid blocked my way."
"I just realized that they came to see me specially."
……
The old lady opened her mouth.
Still resisted the desire to speak.
She planned to wait until the old man had finished speaking before asking questions. ……
"I'm just weird."
The old man smiled.
"After all, I have never met that child."
"What can he do to me?"
……
"That kid is very straightforward."
"Tell me directly...he was asked by a friend to ask me a question."
Recalling the scene at that time, the old man frowned slightly.
"I'm surprised and confused."
"You said that a strange child suddenly found you, not for his own sake, but for his friends..."
"It's not a big deal."
"I just came to ask a question."
"You said it would be you..."
The old man looked at the old lady, "What do you think?"
……
Um?
The old lady was stunned for a moment by the sudden question.
Since the old man asked her himself...
The old lady imagined a similar situation...
"I won't pay attention to him, but will leave directly?"
“Maybe you’ll ask him a few more questions to see if he has any ulterior motives?”
The old lady is not sure.
In fact, it still depends on the person.
If the other person gives her a good feeling, she is willing to chat with him for a few more words.
If the other person makes her feel bad, she will naturally leave as soon as possible.
……
"Yeah."
The old man nodded.
"I did both."
"The other party's attitude is very good."
"Even though I acted a little too aggressively at first because of the other party's sudden remarks and due to caution, the child has always had a good temper."
"I feel a little embarrassed and just want to hear what he has to say to me."
"But the other party later asked me directly why I didn't like Pipa..."
……
"How does he know you don't like Pipa?!"
The old lady blurted out.
She was so surprised that the old lady forgot her original plan to wait until the old man finished speaking before asking questions.
……
"Yeah."
The old man nodded.
"I'm surprised too."
"But what I was more angry about was that a child had seen through my secret."
"I subconsciously reject any topic related to 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 look on his face.
"And he also said something that logically no one knows except you..."
……
"What happened?"
The old lady asked subconsciously.
Something only she knows?
……
"Are you troubled by the sound of the pipa that only you hear recently?"
The old man repeated what the child said at that time.
"That's what he asked me."
……
"How does he know!?"
The old lady blurted out and exclaimed again.
This is even more incredible than the fact that the other party knows that the old man hates Pipa.
……
After all, it’s possible that the old man’s dislike of Pipa was accidentally revealed at some point...
The old man hates Pipa so obviously...
Just hearing the sound drives me crazy.
Unless others are blind, who can't see that the old man hates Pipa?
However, the old man has heard the sound of pipa on the balcony recently, and so far he is the only one who has heard it...
She didn't even hear it.
She was really baffled by this.
The old man was right about this situation, she should be the only one who knew about it.
Or...
An idea flashed in the old lady's mind.
"When you knocked on the door before, did you tell anyone about this situation?"
……
"No."
The old man shook his head.
"Why do I talk so much?"
"And..."
The old man recalled, "When I knocked on the door, I didn't know that I was the only one who heard the sound of the pipa."
"What do I tell them?"
"I just asked them if they heard the sound of the pipa?"
"At most, I said that I heard the sound of the pipa in the middle of the night..."
