267: Lost My Bracelet

Lost My Bracelet

"Stop, everyone stop for a moment!"2

A group of people were taking photos around the podium.

After the award ceremony, the sports meet was over and everyone was packing up to leave. Those who wanted to take photos were surrounding the podium, looking for people to take photos with, and as everyone was happily taking photos, someone suddenly yelled.

At first, no one heard the commotion. Only the few people outside heard it and turned around; when they saw that it was the discipline master, they slowly turned around and patted the person in front of them to stop talking.

The entire scene continued for over ten minutes before it quietened down.

The huge stadium, which had been boisterous just a moment ago, became silent.

The people from Class 9 in the center stood on the podium looking out, not knowing what had happened.

While the surrounding people looked around, only Lu Ning sat down silently with a smile. She sat in the middle of the podium, slightly towards the edge, with her legs naturally hung in front of her while she made small talk.

The show's about to begin.

The discipline master heaved a sigh of relief when everyone had finally calmed down. She looked at everyone and announced, "Now, everyone don't leave. This student here, Lù Yue'an, lost her bracelet and can't find it. Students, please take a look around your feet and see if you can find a bracelet. If you do, please quickly come to the front and hand it over to a teacher. Is everyone clear?!"

It was still completely silent.

They all looked over, but no one said anything.

The discipline master asked again impatiently, "Did everyone hear me?!"

"Yes."

Some people replied weakly, but they were not very willing. The originally happy atmosphere changed in an instant, and the celebration became a search party.

Lù Yue'an stood beside the discipline master. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked apologetically at the students walking past her.

Lu Qing walked over from behind and looked at Lù Yue'an. He patted her shoulder and called out, "An'an…"

Lù Yue'an was stunned for a moment. Hearing this, she turned to look at Lu Qing. "Brother! Didn't you say that you wouldn't be coming today?" Then, as if she had realized something, she suddenly hugged Lu Qing. "Brother, I lost something!"

As she spoke, her eyes welled as she was about to cry.

Lu Qing stood rooted to the ground. He did not even have a chance to get a word in.

Subconsciously, he patted her back.

Shi Qingyue and Lù Chuan also hurriedly jogged over from their seats. "An'an, An'an, what's wrong? Did you lose your bracelet?"

Lù Yue'an looked at Shi Qingyue and let go of Lu Qing. She turned around and threw herself into Shi Qingyue's arms. "Mommy!"

Tears fell from her eyes, and her voice was choked with grievance. "I'm so sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I've always been careful when I wore it. I don't know where I left it, I can't find it now."

She sobbed as she spoke and hugged Shi Qingyue tightly. "It's your first gift to me and I cherished it very much, I really liked it…"

Shi Qingyue caressed her face with heartache. "Mommy knows, alright? Stop crying, you'll find it. It's alright. If you can't find it, Mommy will buy you another one. Don't cry, don't cry."

Lù Yue'an looked up at Shi Qingyue. "But the meaning's different. That was the first gift you gave me, I don't want to lose it."

She cried pitifully, and Shi Qingyue's heart ached even more.

"It's okay, it's okay. Try to recall where you left it the last time. Don't cry, think about it. Mommy will definitely help you find it."
