Chapter 354 - 353: The Final Farewell (5)
Ling Chuxia seemed not to hear Shi Che speak, continuing to fumble over her clothes and then searching through her bag.
Ever since Shi Che gave her the necklace, she had worn it continuously and never took it off. It couldn’t just disappear!
But it was not around her neck, nor in her bag. Where could the necklace be? Just moments ago, she clearly felt it. Ling Chuxia desperately tried to recall the moment when she spun around violently on the sandy ground; perhaps it was then that she lost it.
Ling Chuxia’s eyes lit up, and she abruptly pushed open the car door and quickly headed back the way they came.
Seeing Ling Chuxia’s actions, Shi Che’s brows furrowed, and he too opened his door and followed her with long strides.
Ling Chuxia jogged towards the sandy area and only stopped when she reached the sand. She bent over slightly, eyes wide, searching inch by inch.
It was completely dark now, with only one or two street lamps on the playground casting a faint light. Ling Chuxia couldn’t see clearly and had to squat down, searching even more diligently.
However, the sand was fine and soft. The necklace, being somewhat heavy, would surely be buried when it fell. Ling Chuxia searched thoroughly but found no trace of it, growing so anxious she resorted to digging through the sand with her hands.
When Shi Che caught up, Ling Chuxia was on her knees in the sand, bending over and frantically digging, desperately searching for something.
Shi Che’s brows were slightly knit, his voice somber, "Chuxia, what are you looking for? Please, get up."
He reached out to grab Ling Chuxia’s arm, trying to pull her up, but she stubbornly refused to rise, muttering, "The necklace is gone. I have to find it."
