The night was dark, the evening breeze was slightly cool, and a person lowered his head in the vast prairie carefully looking for the red mandarin duck pendant, and the bright moonlight alone was not enough to see the road under his feet.

Le Chen took the strong flashlight and did not let go of every place, he clearly remembered every step Ling Yanbing took after coming to Le's Ranch during the day, he tried to retrace it with his extraordinary memory, but he didn't find it.

"Strange? Why can't I find it? Where did you leave it? Le Chen sighed helplessly, but he was still unwilling to give up lightly.

He is not a person who likes to give up casually, even when investigating a case, it is like this, he will never give up if he does not find out the truth and solve the mystery.

Although Ling Yanbing didn't want to say much about the Mandarin Duck Pei, although she said that if she lost it, she would lose it, but he could feel that she cared about the Mandarin Duck Pei, if she didn't care, her face at that time would not show that worried look.

There is no need to ask, she should know that the mandarin duck pendant must have been given to her by Tian Shaoyin, so it made her feel very precious.

She still remembers Tian Shaoyin in her heart, she is just temporarily leaving Tian Shaoyin's arms, and she will return to him sooner or later.

Le Chen shook his head helplessly, blaming himself for why he thought so much, why he wanted to ask for more, now that she stayed in Le's Ranch, he had the opportunity to take care of her, and he could see her every day, which was already a very happy and happy thing for him.

Maybe if you don't take that step, it will be good for yourself and others, at least not to destroy that innocent friendship.

Le Chen took a deep breath, "Keep looking, even if I turn Le's Ranch upside down, I will find Yan Bing's Mandarin Duck Pei!" ”

He only thought about not giving up, but he forgot that if something had never appeared here at all, it would be impossible to find it even if he dug three feet into the ground.

Continue to look forward, the night is sluggish, Le Chen is already tired, and he keeps yawning, but he still forces himself not to rest, and he must persist in looking until the end.

"Xiao Chen, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you looking for on the prairie?" It was Grandpa Le Sishu who came over, he was wearing a black coat, the night on the grassland will be very cold, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, you will definitely get sick.

"Grandpa, it's you, why are you here?" Le Chen hurriedly turned around and looked at Le Sishu with some surprise, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Xiao Chen, didn't you sleep either?" Le Sishu smiled kindly, "You haven't answered Grandpa's question just now, what are you looking for?" Is something important missing? ”

"Yan Bing's mandarin duck pendant on her neck is missing, it may have been accidentally lost when she was walking in Le's Ranch today, I want to help her find it." Le Chen continued to look down.

Le Sishu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It turns out that Xiao Chen, you don't sleep in the middle of the night just to help people find things, tell me quickly, what does that mandarin duck look like, maybe grandpa has seen it." ”

Hearing this, Le Chen immediately straightened up, looked at Le Sishu, and couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa, that mandarin duck pendant is red, round and shiny, and there are two mandarin ducks frolicking in the water on it, have you seen it?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Le Sishu shook his head.

"It turns out that you haven't seen Grandpa, it seems that I am difficult to find." Le Chen sighed lightly, and the whole person sat weakly on the prairie like a deflated balloon.

Le Sishu also sat down, "Xiao Chen, do you like Ling Yanbing?" ”

"Why! Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, if she hears this, it won't be good. Le Chen hurriedly said, although it was far away from here, it was impossible for Ling Yanbing to hear it at all.

Le Sishu suddenly held Le Chen's hand and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, if you really like people, pursue them boldly, don't keep your love in your heart, so that people won't know." ”

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I didn't like her!" Le Chen hurriedly withdrew his hand from Le Sishu's palm, he just didn't want to be seen through his heart.

Le Sishu smiled, "Xiao Chen, don't try to lie to grandpa, if you don't like that girl, why would you not sleep in the middle of the night and come to this prairie to help people find lost things." ”

Le Chen was silent and refused to answer.

"The murderer refuses to admit it, what can I do?" Le Sishu's eyes darkened, and said meaningfully: "Since Xiao Chen is a detective, then grandpa also analyzes it with the idea of a detective, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and help people find things, which shows that you care about that person very much, so you love the house and Wu, even if it is something she loses, she cares about it, and you just heard that my question is so big, obviously it is a weak heart, and you have repeatedly explained, indicating that you are deliberately covering up the truth, from which it can be inferred that you are the murderer!" Secretly crush on Ling Yanbing's murderer! ”

"I ......" Le Chen was speechless for a moment, and at this moment, the explanation seemed to really become a cover-up.

He is a detective, and he understands this truth even more, the more people who have criminal motives, the more they will constantly cover up the truth, just like he wants to hide his love for Ling Yanbing.

"Xiao Chen, I know that because of your mother, you have never wanted to, and you don't dare to touch emotional matters, don't hesitate, don't stop because of an injury, not every woman will lose her husband and children and run away with others like your mother." Le Sishu sighed lightly, he knew that what Le Chen lacked was not only maternal love, but also the confidence that made him believe in love.

Le Chen was slightly stunned, it is true that he stopped in love, and because of this, he did not dare to take a step, afraid that one day he would embark on the road of divorce like his father Le Feiyun, he wanted to believe in love, but he was afraid that what he believed would be betrayal.

After taking a deep breath, Le Chen suddenly said, "Grandpa, there is a question that I haven't asked you all along, and now I want to know." ”

"What is the question, Xiao Chen, you said, as long as grandpa can answer it, he will sue you." Le Sishu looked at Le Chen with interest, wondering what it was that bothered him.

Le Chen's eyes looked into the distance, and his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Grandpa, I often see my father and he will secretly look at the wedding photos with his mother before, and he still loves his mother now, right?" ”

Le Sishu nodded undoubtedly, "Love, I have always loved, one day husband and wife for a hundred days, your father is also a person who loves the old, he has not found another woman in the past twenty years, just because he can't let go of your mother in his heart, and he doesn't want to find a stepmother for you, he doesn't want you to live under a reunited family." ”

"It's true, Dad still likes Mom." Hearing this answer, Le Chen's heart was a little happy, it turned out that he guessed right, no wonder his father Le Feiyun has been divorced for nearly 20 years, and he will always keep those wedding photos, and he is never willing to throw them away.

Le Sishu sighed helplessly: "Your father is actually a dead-eyed person, he is a tendon, at that time he insisted on marrying your mother, no matter how the family objected, he always insisted." ”

"Grandpa, if Dad and Mom hadn't gotten married, there wouldn't be me. Although they eventually divorced, I am grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to come into this world and to see a single part of this world. Le Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, in life, you should always be grateful.

"Love, that's it, although the balance is sometimes not necessarily balanced, but there is always one party who is willing to give and does not ask for anything in return, just like your father, although he doesn't say it, I know that he still loves your mother and has never changed his mind." Le Sishu said helplessly.

"Grandpa, if, I mean, if Mommy comes back, will Dad accept her?" Le Chen hurriedly asked.

"Yes, definitely." Le Sishu replied without doubt that he knew his son Le Feiyun and knew that he was a person with deep affection.

"Grandpa, thank you for suing me about this, I know what to do." Le Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he had indeed seen his mother Xu Qingrong some time ago, she didn't seem to be doing well, I heard that she divorced that man many years ago, and then she never looked for anyone again, I don't know if she is willing to come back.

If she is willing to come back, he will try his best to bring them back together, so that they can have no regrets in their lives.

"Okay, grandpa, I'm going to continue looking for that mandarin duck pendant." After speaking, Le Chen stood up and continued to look for it, knowing that he might not be able to find it, but he was still unwilling to give up, and said lightly that giving up was not his character Le Chen.

"Xiao Chen, don't be too dead-eyed. Since you can't find it, why not buy a new one and give it to her, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come, maybe the new one can replace the old one. Le Sishu stood up, patted Le Chen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"Will it? If the old one had been with her for fifteen years, would she really give it up and accept a new one? Le Chen was slightly stunned, how could he not want to one day be able to replace Tian Shao's position hidden in Ling Yanbing's heart.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart! As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do! Xiao Chen, where is your previous courage? Why do you hesitate once you get involved in love! Le Sishu looked at Le Chen with firm eyes, and had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

"I ......" Le Chen wanted to speak and stopped, he was indeed an idiot in terms of feelings, an idiot who stopped moving.

"Xiao Chen, you decide for yourself, when you have love, you have to be brave to chase it, even if you don't get it in the end, you won't regret it, at least you have chased it! Well, Grandpa is also sleepy and is going back to sleep. After saying that, Le Sishu turned around and walked back.

A word woke up the dreamer, Le Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, he looked at Le Sishu's back, and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, thank you, Xiao Chen knows what to do!" ”

Maybe Grandpa is right, since the real Mandarin Duck Pei can't be found, why don't you buy another identical one and come back?

Maybe the new Mandarin Duck Pei really has a chance to replace the old one.

Just do what he said, and never slack off, Le Chen immediately drove to the nearby Lingnan jade trading market.

He believed that there were all the world's famous stones here, and he would definitely be able to find a jade pendant in it that was exactly the same as the mandarin duck pendant that Ling Yanbing had lost.

Even if it won't be exactly the same, it will at least be seven or eight points alike.

The car drove fast, just like Le Chen's mood at this time, a little excited, and a little nervous, this is probably the feeling of being in love.

Love should be like this, it will be hesitant, it will be confused, it will be at a loss, but as long as the direction is determined, it will reach the end one day.

Soon came to the Lingnan jade trading market, stopped the car, and Le Chen quickly got out of the car, hoping to find the identical mandarin duck pendant as much as possible.

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, with Ling Yanbing's narration, he could still imagine the general outline and appearance of the mandarin duck pendant.

Sharp eyes swept and did not let go of the jade pendant of any jade shop, mainly locked in the red jade pendant and the mandarin duck pattern.

Finally, everyone looked for it thousands of times, and suddenly looked back and saw the red crystal clear jade pendant.

What pleased him was that the pattern on the surface of this jade pendant was also a mandarin duck playing in the water, which might be different from Ling Yanbing's mandarin duck pendant, but this was also what Le Chen wanted.

He just wants to find similarities, but he doesn't want to find an identical one, since it is to be replaced, then it must be new, if it is the same, it will become the so-called stand-in.

He didn't want to go to Shaoyin's stand-in for that day, he just wanted to be Le Chen, a Le Chen who loved Ling Yanbing deeply.

Walking into the jade shop, the jade boss had to say that this jade pendant was a good Hetian red jade, and he wanted the lion to open his mouth, and he had to ask for 100,000 yuan, and Le Chen didn't want to bargain too much, he just asked the boss to give him a dollar cheaper, and he only needed the number 99999.

The owner of the jade shop didn't ask for any more price, and directly agreed.

Le Chen finally spent 99999 to buy the mandarin duck pendant, and hoped that his love with Ling Yanbing could last a long time.

With the harvest and the ideal replacement for the mandarin duck in his mind, he left the Lingnan jade trading market very happily.

Maybe this is also a temptation, as soon as the morning dawns, he will take the jade pendant to Ling Yanbing, saying that he has helped her find the lost mandarin duck pendant.

If she accepts, he will start a love chase, if she does not accept, he will give up and continue to retreat to the step of friends.

He believed that Ling Yanbing would definitely recognize whether the mandarin duck pendant was given to her by Tian Shaoyin, if she recognized it and was willing to accept it, it means that there may still be a place in her heart, if she never accepts, then he will definitely give up, and he will definitely not take another step forward, and he will stay in the step of friendship for the rest of his life.

Finally returned to Le's Ranch, Le Chen hurriedly got out of the car, holding the newly bought mandarin duck pendant, and hoped in his heart: "Yan Bing, if you can, I hope that the person who can give you happiness is me." If you are willing to accept my words, I promise that I will not let you shed a tear and make you break your heart once! ”R1154
