Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai looked at him in a daze.
It was as if she had not yet emerged from the shadows of the ghosts. Her hand was on her chest, rising and falling.
"I'm asking you a question!" Huo Chang Yuan frowned.
Lin Wan Bai shrank back before replying with fear still lingering in his heart, "My necklace is missing …"
Ye Zichen sneakily glanced at him, then let out a sigh.
This was truly frightening!
"Necklace?" Huo Chang Yuan frowned even more.
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded, he raised his hand and touched his empty neck, "It should have fallen at dusk, I was afraid that someone would pick it up early tomorrow, so I decided to come out to look."
Huo Chang Yuan swept his gaze across his surroundings. It was a cloudy night, and the moon hanging above his head was covered by the clouds, only the river could give out some light, and the surrounding grass, although there were always people stepping on it, it was impossible to find anything hidden.
"Where are you going to find someone who's out in the dark!"
Lin Wan Bai gestured, "I brought a flashlight."
"It's just a broken necklace. Let's go back to sleep first, we'll talk about it in the morning!" Huo Chang Yuan said and was about to pull her back.
"No way!" Lin Wan Bai firmly shook him off. In the hazy light, he shook his head and pursed his lips, "If you want to go back by yourself, I won't go back tonight if I can't find you …"
After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
He stopped after about ten steps. He closed his hands into fists. In his line of sight, that beautiful figure had bent down again. She held the flashlight and started searching again.
The surroundings were pitch black, only her slender figure was left.
This place was very remote, and almost every household had their lights out. Thinking of how frightened she was when she first saw him, she frowned and retraced her steps. It was one thing if she met someone like him, but if she met someone with ulterior motives, it would be useless even if she shouted …
Under the dark and gloomy moonlight, Huo Chang Yuan's eyebrows tensed up, "Do you know where he fell?"
"Uh, I don't know …"
When Lin Wan Bai turned around and saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't think that he would come back after leaving for this place. He pointed to an area and said, at a loss, "Maybe he's on this patch of grass …"
"…" Huo Chang Yuan's face darkened.
However, the light was too dim to be seen.
When he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight on top of the camera, he began to regret that he had somehow retraced his steps and accompanied her in searching for a necklace in the grass in the middle of the night like a brainless idiot …
In the corner of Lin Wan Bai's eyes, she also secretly glanced at him.
The two of them did not say a word. They walked two separate paths, but the male scent that came from time to time in their noses made her lose her previous fear.
"Lin Wan Bai!"
Huo Chang Yuan suddenly shouted.
Lin Wan Bai lifted his head, "... "Huh?"
Huo Chang Yuan had already stood up straight, and indicated to her that he was standing under, "Come over and take a look, is it this!"
Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai ran over quickly and squatted down to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was a glimmer that appeared faintly as he reached out his hand to take out the small key that was embedded inside the diamond.
"It's this!" She was overjoyed. "You scared me to death! I thought I wouldn't be able to find you tonight …"
"You can go back now?" Huo Chang Yuan kept his phone.
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded his head.
On the way back, the two of them did not speak. One was immersed in the joy of getting back the necklace, while the other was deep in thought.
Even though it was spring in the north, it was still very cold at night. In addition to drinking water beside them, the night wind that had been blowing outside for a long time had already permeated their entire bodies.
Entering the room, Lin Wan Bai boiled a pot of hot water for dinner and poured out two cups.
"Huo Chang Yuan, drink a cup of hot water …"
She sincerely said, "It's all thanks to you tonight, otherwise I wouldn't have found you so quickly. Thank you!"
Huo Chang Yuan lifted his water cup and glanced at her tightly clenched hand.
From the time she had returned until now, she had been holding it tightly in her hand as if she was afraid that she would accidentally lose it again. Even he could only see its approximate appearance.
"Is that necklace expensive?" Huo Chang Yuan asked casually.
"Uh, it's not cheap …" Lin Wan Bai nodded after thinking for a while.
If she remembered correctly, the amount of RMB that she had converted at that time was at least 70,000 yuan. At the very beginning, when she wore it, she was even afraid of being snatched away by a passerby.
Huo Chang Yuan said in an understanding tone, "No wonder you had to come back so late at night, afraid that someone else would pick you up!"
"Things that aren't necessarily expensive are precious." Lin Wan Bai shook his head and clenched his fist, feeling the sensation of the hard object, he did not think much and blurted out, "It is indeed not cheap, but to me, it has a special meaning. "Also, the person who sent me said that I must wear it no matter where I go. At all times, wear it around my neck, and don't even take a bath …"
"Heh, how overbearing!" Huo Chang Yuan scoffed.
That's not it …
However, being proposed by him like this was rather funny.
Lin Wan Bai laughed, and said in a soft voice, "Most importantly, I have already promised that I would not lose it, and I will not return it back to him."
That was why she was trying so hard to find it.
Although the two of them had parted ways four years ago and she had even seen the same key necklace with Lu Jing Xue, she had always worn it around her neck. This was practically the last memory she had of that relationship.
After he finished speaking, Lin Wan Bai saw that he was looking at her, and realised that he had said too much, he immediately lowered his eyes, and did not say anymore.
Huo Chang Yuan's pupils shrank, "Could it be a boyfriend gave it to you?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
Feeling the definition wrong, he corrected, "Former boyfriend..."
The moment she shook her head, Huo Chang Yuan could clearly feel his stifled chest loosen up, though he didn't know why.
"Former boyfriend?" He frowned, surprised by his own gossip. "You dumped him?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai shook his head again.
"That's the one who dumped you?"
"…"
Seeing that she did not speak, which was a clear tacit agreement, Huo Chang Yuan pouted and asked, "Why did he break up with another woman?"
"I guess so …" Lin Wan Bai's answer was vague.
He should be one of them. Back then, when he proposed to break up with her, he abandoned her and chose his fiancee instead of playing a love game …
"These are the things that the scum man gave you, and you actually dare to go out in the middle of the night to look for them?" If he ditched you, why did you still keep such a crappy thing for!? " Huo Chang Yuan said with a gloomy look on his face.
Lin Wan Bai opened his eyes wide, as if he was shocked by the scum in his mouth.
[What the hell is wrong with calling myself a trash man …]
"What? Is he not a scum?"
Seeing that, Huo Chang Yuan's tone became even heavier.
Lin Wan Bai swallowed his saliva, and spoke with a dry voice, "Uh, yes … "Slag guy …"
