A girl with long hair also came over.

"Not express delivery?"

…

"no."

The girl with short hair shook her head.

She looked back.

"Do you know this old man?"

…

"do not know."

The long-haired girl shook her head.

…

Under the questioning eyes of the two girls, a smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Hello."

"I'm your neighbor who lives on the floor below."

"I just wanted to ask you something."

"Have you heard the sound of musical instruments playing at home these days?"

…

The sound of musical instruments playing?

The two girls looked at each other.

"Did you hear it?"

"Did you hear it?"

The two girls said in unison.

"Pfft~"

The two girls laughed at the tacit understanding between each other and themselves.

…

"No."

The short-haired girl was the first to shake her head at the old man.

"I didn't hear any instruments playing."

"I do not have either."

The girl with long hair shook her head.

…

"No……"

The old man couldn't help but murmured.

He had a bad feeling.

The young man before said he didn't know and he didn't care too much.

The two girls also said they didn’t know.

He couldn't help but think...

Isn't it possible that no one else could hear the sound of the pipa besides him?

…

Seeing the old man's disappointment, the two girls looked at each other, feeling a little sorry in their hearts.

"that……"

"We watch TV series and other things at home... the sound is louder."

The girl with short hair tried to make the old man feel better.

"So there are a lot of sounds that we won't notice."

"You can ask other people."

"They might have heard something."

…

After being stunned for a moment, the old man smiled bitterly.

Very similar statement.

so……

Young people all have their own activities, practicing piano, listening to music, watching TV series...

None of them noticed the sound of pipa playing outside.

They are all immersed in their own world.

Is it only him, an old man who has nothing to do, that notices it?

…

"I see."

The old man smiled at the two girls.

"Sorry to disturb you."

…

"it's okay no problem."

The girl with short hair turned to the girl with long hair and stuck out her tongue slightly.

The old man looked really disappointed.

If possible, she also hoped that she could help.

pity.

There was nothing she could do.

She can't lie to the old man.

…

The door is closed.

The smile on the old man's face faded until it disappeared.

He turned his head.

And the last family...

If the owner of this house continues to say that he doesn't know and doesn't hear...

The old man shook his head vigorously.

It's not time to get discouraged yet.

still have a chance.

…

The old man took a deep breath.

He walked to the door of the last house.

Raise your hand.

"Dong dong~dong dong~dong dong~"

…

The knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor.

Layers upon layers.

It actually made the old man feel a little deafened.

The old man's hand couldn't help but pause when he knocked on the door.

Did he... knock a little too hard?

…

The old man exhaled slowly.
