Xiao Xiao walked out of the hot pot restaurant.

The Pipa Ghost followed Master Xiao Xiao.

Master Xiao Xiao goes straight, and it goes straight; Master Xiao Xiao turns, and it turns.

…

Xiao Xiao stopped behind a big tree.

He turned around.

"Pipa ghost."

He arched his eyebrows.

"Any thing else?"

…

The Pipa Ghost is three steps away from Mr. Xiao Xiao.

It is holding a pipa.

There was some hesitation on his face.

His fingers unconsciously played with the strings of the pipa.

Even if he just fiddles with it at will, the syllables that come out should be broken and tuneless. I wonder if Pipa Ghost is born with a strong sense of sound, or there are other reasons...

What reached Xiao Xiao's ears was an exceptionally clear and graceful melody.

…

"sit."

Xiao Xiao sat down on the armchair under the tree.

The sunlight was filtered through the lush canopy of trees.

Casting out dots of light and shadow.

…

Pipa Ghost blinked.

It walked slowly over.

Sit down next to Mr. Xiao Xiao.

…

Xiao Xiao put his hands on both sides, leaned back and raised his head.

A ray of sunlight fell into his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gradually the outline of the leaves above became clearer.

…

"...Drink~"

The long silence made Pipa Ghost a little uneasy.

It finally made some tentative sounds.

…

Xiao Xiao tilted his head.

"Say whatever comes to mind."

"It doesn't matter."

"If there's anything I don't know, I'll ask you if it's not clear."

"You can just say it."

"You can't just say let's change the topic."

Xiao Xiao has a smile on his face.

"Did we break up because we haven't seen each other for a long time?"

…

Pipa Ghost shook his head subconsciously.

Looking at Master Xiao Xiao's smiling face in the light and shadow, Pipa Ghost slowly opened his mouth.

how come?

It and Mr. Xiao Xiao are... friends.

…

The Pipa ghost lowered his eyes.

After a few crisp pipa sounds, it made up its mind.

actually……

It was also because of meeting Mr. Xiao Xiao that it suddenly had the idea of ​​asking for help.

It wants to ask Master Xiao Xiao...

What can it do... help that kid-

Even if the children back then have grown up.

It is still used to calling each other children.

Besides, age really matters...

Men here are children.

…

Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.

Then a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"Pipa Ghost likes him very much."

…

Pipa's ghostly head is slightly bent.

like……

That's okay.

It prefers Master Xiao Xiao.

….

Um……

Xiao Xiao had a sense of déjà vu that he clearly wanted to eat melon but ended up eating it himself.

He laughed.

"Thanks."

"I also like Pipa Ghost very much."

…

Pipa Ghost suddenly felt a little stunned.

It plays the strings of the lute.

It just felt that it was rare to meet that child again.

and……

Back then, it ate a lot of candy from the child.

He didn't give anything back to the child.

so……

It's a gift in return for those candies.

It wants to do something for that child.

It hopes...

It can see again the bright and shining eyes of that child when it saw it.

…

This idea vaguely emerged after following the child for a few days.
To be continued...
