The ring?
Qiao Xiaon'an clutched her phone and flipped her hand over.
Where's the ring?
Where is her ring?
Did she lose it while playing too wildly in the afternoon?
She scrambled to her feet, her phone clenched in her hand, first searching the area around her. On the faintly lit cement floor, there was no trace of any foreign object.
Next, she looked around the grill.
Still, there was nothing.
"Xiao'an's ring is lost."
Lu Yichen and the sisters, Ye Jiajia and Ye Weiyi, stopped barbecuing to help her search.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
The little stream outside the farmhouse persisted with its gentle flow, but the surface of the water was too murky to see clearly.
Qiao Xiaon'an insisted on going into the water to search.
"Xiao'an, even if it really fell into the water, searching like this won't help." Ye Weiyi tried to pull Qiao Xiaon'an back.
"Yeah, Xiao'an, the water is cold at night." Ye Jiajia noticed that her trouser legs were already soaked through.
