Right Here Waiting For You
Chapter 22

After they had explored most of the Dinosaur Museum, Ning Tiantian suddenly had an urge to go to the restroom, so she and Cookie went to inform the teacher.
Ning Tiantian took a look at herself in the mirror as she washed her hands. Something didn’t feel right, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
“Cookie, don’t you think there’s something different about me today?”
Turning off the tap, Cookie took a look at her and said, “You’ve got eye boogers.”
“Ooh… you’re right!” Ning Tiantian stared at herself in the mirror and wiped away the discharge from her eyes. As her eyes traveled down to her neck, there was a sudden change in her expression, and she exclaimed, “Oh no! It wasn’t the eye boogers! My necklace is missing!”
No wonder she felt that something was off.
The necklace was a token of love from Inky, worth millions. Without it, she wouldn’t be able to marry Inky!
Cookie took a quick glance at Tiantian’s neck; there was indeed nothing on that fair neck of hers. She remembered seeing Tiantian wearing a black stone necklace all the time.
Cookie patted Tiantian on her shoulder in an attempt to console her. “If you’ve really dropped it, you probably won’t be able to find it. How about you buy another one?”
Stone necklaces like this cost fifteen dollars apiece at the market.
“No!” Tiantian was on the verge of bursting into tears. “This concerns my marriage with Inky!”
What?
Cookie was bewildered. What has a stone–no–a necklace, got to do with marriage?
Has it now become a trend to marry the person who gives you a fifteen-dollar necklace?
“Hey, Tiantian, where are you going? Wait for me!” By the time Cookie collected her wits, Tiantian had already run out of the restroom, toward the exit of the museum.
Cookie immediately ran after her, but Tiantian soon vanished from her sight. How did she disappear so quickly? Had she encountered a bad man?”
“Oh no!” She quickly informed the teacher.
In actual fact, Ning Tiantian had not met with any mishaps. She had merely boarded a bus, which had just arrived at the bus stop.
“Next stop, Shi Yan Elementary School.”
Ning Tiantian didn’t know how to get to the suburban park. She only remembered how to get to Inky’s school, so she decided to look for Inky before searching for the necklace.
The bus was packed like a can of sardines, and there were no vacant seats remaining when Tiantian boarded the bus. Fortunately, a pretty lady gave up her seat to Tiantian. After thanking the lady, Tiantian sat down, tears welling up in remorse.
How could she have lost their token of love?
She was in great pain.
Seeing the token of love was as almost as good as seeing Li Yanmo himself, so losing the token was akin to losing Inky. She felt so terrible that it hurt even more than scalding her tongue with boiling water.
After finally arriving at Inky’s school, Ning Tiantian wiped away the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand and walked into reception with her eyes as red as that of a rabbit’s.
“Who are you looking for, little girl?” asked the school security officer.
Ning Tiantian was sobbing but still managed to enunciate her words clearly. “I’m here for Inky. He’s in class 4-1…”
“What is his name?”
“Li Yanmo,” she started whimpering. She bit on her lip with her baby teeth, and the tears in her eyes were threatening to fall.
