The old man turned his head.

He could vaguely see the short-haired girl who opened the door for him before taking the express delivery from the courier's hand.

The courier quickly turned around and left.

He strode past the old man.

As if in the blink of an eye, the courier disappeared.

…

The old man holds on to the handrail.

Go downstairs step by step.

He was a little tired from the disappointment of getting nothing.

I had so much expectations before.

How disappointed I feel now.

…

The old man returned home.

He changed into slippers.

He looked up and saw the old woman with a sullen expression.

He was a little confused.

ah?

…

There was a hint of anger on the old lady's face.

"You still know how to come back?"

"Why have you been gone so long?"

"Have a long talk with someone?"

…

"No……"

The old man is calm.

What could he have a long conversation with them about?

Aren't you wasting people's time?

…

The old lady had some guesses in her mind.

Her expression softened a little.

"what?"

"A lackluster look."

"Still haven't found the pipa player?"

…

"……Um."

The old man nodded

He was not surprised at the old woman's keenness.

Besides, his expression is pretty easy to guess.

He was a little tired.

There is no room for pretense.

…

The old woman's mouth opened slightly.

Why?

I really didn’t find it...

"Have you asked all the people upstairs and downstairs, including the other two households on our floor?"

The old lady confirmed.

…

"Um."

The old man nodded.

Including the floor where they lived, he asked all the residents on the three floors.

…

"No one heard the sound of the pipa?"

The old lady looked surprised.

…

"Um."

The old man nodded again.

No one heard it.

…

"That is to say..."

The old lady's eyes became a little strange, "So far, you are the only one who has heard the sound of the pipa?"

…

The old man was slightly startled.

I don’t quite understand what the old woman meant by asking this question?

He still nodded respecting the facts.

That's right, so far, it seems that he is the only one who has heard the sound of the pipa.

At least that's what he knew.

…

"Are you sure you heard correctly?"

The old lady blurted out.

…

"How can it be?"

The old man rolled his eyes.

…

"How is it impossible?"

The old lady was dissatisfied with the old man's determination.

"I remember, the first time you told me that you heard the sound of the pipa, wasn't it just in your sleep?"

…

Old man:......

He slowly closed his mouth.

This is indeed true.

He was unable to refute.

…

"You damn old man, why are you so stubborn?"

Although the old man didn't refute out loud, he clearly looked like he didn't agree with what she said even if he couldn't refute it...

It really made the old lady feel like she was breathing heavily in her heart.

She gave the old man an annoyed look.

"I asked you anyway."

"how?"
