After taking it home, he didnât put it out in an open manner. Yang Dashuai recalled vigorously. At first, he seemed to hide it in the cardboard box where he contained toys. Later, his mother said that he would give the toy to his uncleâs brother. So, he secretly hid the jewelry box in the cabinet where his old books were placed, and then later on⦠â¦
The more he thought about the more his face turned pale. At first, he had some impressions of the places where he hid it. But later on, he couldnât remember anymore. Their family moved twice in the past few years. He had never seen it again all these years.
Yang Dashuai wiped his face. Where he will look for it?
Lin Yue was humming a song while walking to the bathroom. He got a little puzzled when he saw Yang Dashuai leaning against the wall with a desperate look on the face: âWhatâs wrong? Did you feel so sentimental after seeing your first lover? How is it?â
Yang Dashuai sighed, âI have to go first. I have to go home and get the key to the old house to find something.â
âLook for something?â Lin Yue looked at him a little puzzled: âDo you have to look for it today? Itâs been so long since you and Siyu had been together. I know you liked her back then. â
âItâs all in the past, donât tell me you still liked Teacher Qiao!â Yang Dashuai brushed his hair distractedly: âIâll talk to you again. Iâll go and say goodbye to Wang Kun and Si Yu.â
Lin Yue didnât even bother to go to the toilet when he saw him leaving. He hurried out with Yang Dashuai. Yang Dashuai returned to his position and picked up his key with an awkward expression on his face: âIâm sorry, I have to go first.â
When Wang Kun was about to stop, he saw Li Siyu holding her chin and looking at Yang Dashuai: âAre we going to meet tomorrow?â
Yang Dashuai was a little confused but then said: âIâm not sure, I canât remember where it is nowâ¦â
âItâs 5 p.m. tomorrow.â Li Siyu interrupted him and said, âI will wait for you at the Hyatt Western Restaurant.â
Yang Dashuai scratched his hair twice and said with a little annoyed tone: âThe time is too short, I really may not be able to find it.â
âIt doesnât matter if you canât find it. Anyway, I took it into account.â Li Siyu looked at Yang Dashuai with her chin on and said: âEven after so many years, I still like you. Marrying you is a dream come true. â
When Wang Kun heard this, he blew a whistle and thought of playing a joke. Lin Yue, who saw something was wrong, abruptly pinched Wang Kunâs arm.
Yang Dashuai took a deep look at Li Siyu, picked up his key, and then turned around, leaving behind his two male friends with a stunned expression, and Li Siyu, who has a faint smile on her face.

In the underground garage, many drivers were waiting to do business. Yang Dashuai called for one, and after reporting the address, he dialed the phone number in their house. Mother Yang just lay down on the bed to sleep but was woken up by the phone call. When she answered the phone, she spoke with full of anger: âWhat are you calling in the middle of the night?â
âMy dear mother, donât be angry, I have something important to ask you.â Yang Dashuai brushed away the hair that was slumped to his forehead and asked eagerly: âWhen I was 12 or 13 years old, I hid a red jewelry box with a lock at home. Have you seen it?â
Mother Yang said: âArenât you hiding that box under the bed every day? How can I see it? Iâve never seen it.â
When Yang Dashuai heard those, he almost cries in tears: âMother, donât tease me at this time! That jewelry box was handed down by Li Siyuâs family. Now, people specifically came back to get it, but I donât know where is that jewelry box.â
Mother Yang suddenly sat up from the bed, and her voice rose three octaves in an instant: âYou mean that jewelry box is the jewelry box Li Siyuâs ancestor used as a dowry?â
âYes, yes, you also knew?â Yang Dashuai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard those words over the phone⦠â¦
âYou little bastard, you dare to accept anything! I have heard from Siyuâs mother Siyu that the jewelry box is passed down from generation to generation. You dare to accept it!â
Yang Dashuai almost cried: âI am a man, why would I want it? Li Siyu gave it to me! Okay, itâs not the time to talk about it. Do you have any impression of that jewelry box?â
Mother Yang carefully recalled: âIn the beginning, I looked at you hid it in different places, but then I didnât, so, I donât know where you put it. Or should I go to the old house with you tomorrow?â
Yang Dashuai sighed in frustration: âNo, I have to go tonight, can you help me find the key?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The car was parked under the building. Father Yang had been waiting there for a long time. In addition to the keys of the two old houses, he also prepared white gloves, a mask, and a flashlight.
