"If you like something, shouldn't you pursue it?"

"Wait, wait...you don't mind?! It's really weird, isn't it?!" Leng Yihan grabbed Lin Yin.

"I do mind... but I can't bear to see someone get hurt, and I don't want to see people who clearly love each other unable to be together, even if one of them is the person they love most." Lin Yin smiled gently. "So... let's go, let's go find Leng Binglan and bring her back to our home!"

103 Searching

On the street, Leng Yihan looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of a blue-haired girl at a turn of the corner.

But half an hour passed, and Leng Yihan was still nowhere to be found.

"What should I do... I can't keep searching like this..." Leng Yihan bought a bottle of water (will he finally know which drink it is this time?) and drank it. The scorching sun made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"I need to think of something... Oh right, ask around!" Leng Yihan's brain had inexplicably short-circuited earlier; maybe someone in the shops had seen it?

Without hesitation, Leng Yihan went back to the store where she had bought the drink and asked the cashier, "Excuse me, have you seen a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes, who is about 1.5 meters tall?"

"Sorry, I haven't seen it..."

"Excuse me, have you seen a little girl with blue hair? She's about 1.5 meters tall..."

"Sorry……"

"Excuse me……"

"I've never seen it before..."

After a round of shopping, Leng Yihan had already visited most of the shops near her home, except for one dessert shop, which was also Leng Binglan's favorite place to go—a place with truly delicious desserts.

When Leng Yihan pushed the door open, she saw Lin Yin there, taking out her phone as if she was about to make a call.

"Xiaoyin?"

"Ah? Yihan! We've found her!" Seeing Leng Yihan walk in, Lin Yin immediately came up to her. "This saleswoman just saw Binglan come to this store to buy something. Since she's a regular customer, she asked why she was carrying a suitcase, but Binglan didn't reply, just gave a wry smile and left..."

"Hey, are you an idiot? There's no point in memorizing all this stuff..." Leng Yihan flicked Lin Yin's forehead and looked at the waitress, "Excuse me, did you see which way she went?"

"Hmm... well... I couldn't see very clearly from inside, but it seemed to be heading in the direction of Shiyaling Park. You can go check there. By the way, she didn't buy her favorite strawberry cake, but a chocolate cake... She usually always buys strawberry cakes..."

"Thank you." Leng Yihan nodded, as if to thank the waitress, and then took Lin Yin's hand and left the conscientious dessert shop.

"Yihan... do you think Binglan will be in the park?" Lin Yin asked with some concern.

“Even if she’s not here, we need to check all the parks within walking distance. We can’t let her sleep here; it’s not safe. She doesn’t have much money on her, so she can’t afford a hotel.” Leng Yihan said, while also carefully looking at the surrounding streets, afraid of missing the girl for even a moment.

"Oh right, Binglan is a smart person, she wouldn't run away from home like this without any preparation, would she?"

“Her parents are back.” Leng Yihan pursed her lips.

"Huh? Then why don't we just go to her parents' house to find her..." Lin Yin tilted her head and looked at Leng Yihan in confusion.

“But the reason she left wasn’t because her parents came back. Her parents’ return was only brief; they’ll be leaving the country again soon. She mainly wants to avoid us and not have an awkward situation, so she definitely won’t be at her parents’ house…” Leng Yihan fabricated without changing his expression. Leng Binglan’s true identity… is not suitable to tell Lin Yin right now; he will find an opportunity to tell her in the future.

“I see… Because I need to avoid you, I absolutely can’t go back to my own home, because it would be too easy to be discovered that way…” Lin Yin concluded. “That’s right, by the way, call other people, call acquaintances, ask if anyone who is out there can help me find them,” Leng Yihan said, also remembering that he had friends.

“Okay, I’ll call Miao Xingyin first, and you call Chen Wei.”

“Okay.” Leng Yihan took out her phone, found Chen Wei’s number, and dialed. After two rings, Chen Wei answered the phone, and it was obvious he was outside; it was indeed a bit noisy on his end…

"Hey? Chen Wei, what are you doing?"

"Ah... I'm playing at the arcade with Ye Zixing and Mo Ruyu... Beautiful, Zixing! Right there! Shoot!" Listening to Chen Wei's excited voice, it's not hard to imagine that the scene on their side must be very lively. And I remember there's only one arcade in the whole of Jinshan City, right in the city center.

"If you have some free time... could you do me a favor?"

"Oh? What kind of help is it? Why don't you tell me?" Chen Wei asked.

“Binglan got angry with me and ran away from home. I don’t know where she is now. If you could, could you help me look for her? She might have gone to the city center…” Leng Yihan said, worried that Chen Wei might refuse, since she was interrupting them when they were having fun…

"No problem!" Chen Wei agreed to the surprise. "I'm so bored staying in the arcade all day. I'll use this as an excuse to take these two out for a walk and maybe find Leng Binglan."

"Okay... thank you, I'll hang up now."

"OK Bye Bye."

"Bye-bye." Leng Yihan hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Lin Yin. It seemed that her problem was still unresolved... Well, that's right, after all, she was looking for Miao Xingyin... that guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang, Huang Shaotian, dressed as a woman.

“Next is Xiao Yulin…” Leng Yihan found Xiao Yulin’s phone number and dialed it.

Meanwhile, in downtown Jinshan City, Xiao Yulin was enjoying life with Kang Meng in a coffee shop when a phone rang on her cell phone.

"Who is it... Huh? Extremely cold?" Xiao Yulin was a little surprised to see the contact name of the caller. She didn't expect Leng Yihan to call her at this time. When Kang Meng heard Xiao Yulin say Leng Yihan's name, she also perked up her ears.

"Hey, Jihan, what's up? You actually have time to call a young lady like me." Xiao Yulin said in a teasing tone.

"Yu Xiao, have you seen Leng Binglan? She ran away from home and I don't know where she is now. I'm looking for her around my house right now. Is it convenient for you to help look for her?" Hearing Leng Yihan's anxious tone, Xiao Yulin hesitated, glanced at the blazing sun outside, and sighed.

"Okay, okay, I'll take a look here for you. I'll call you if I catch them."

"Thank you! I'll hang up now, bye-bye."

"Bye~" After hanging up Xiao Yulin's call, Leng Yihan didn't expect Xiao Yulin to be so easy to talk to. She glanced at Lin Yin again, who was still on the phone with Miao Xingyin... Damn it, this reincarnation of Tang Sanzang, why does he talk so much!

"Whose phone number do I have... Oh right, Xue Yunhuang's phone number... Oh crap, I forgot to ask for it!" Leng Yihan carefully went through his contacts several times before he could confirm—he hadn't asked Xue Yunhuang for her phone number; he didn't have her number...

It's all up to Lin Yin now; hopefully she'll accept it...

Leng Yihan looked at Lin Yin with expectant eyes. After a long while, she finally hung up the phone and made an OK sign. Leng Yihan also handed her the drink she hadn't finished, which Lin Yin accepted without hesitation and drank it all in one go.

"How is it?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Sigh... she's finally finished talking. Her rambling was driving me crazy, but at least she's willing to help us. Let's hurry to the park." Lin Yin said.

"By the way, do you have Xue Yunhuang's phone number? I've asked everyone else, but I don't have Xue Yunhuang's number. I forgot to ask for it and can't find it."

Hearing Leng Yihan's words, Lin Yin was taken aback: "Huh? I didn't ask for it either... I forgot back then, I thought you asked for my contact information."

"No...it seems only Binglan wanted it, so neither of us wanted it..." The two looked at each other, feeling extremely awkward. However, they already had quite a few people who could help them, so losing Xue Yunhuang was still acceptable.

After all, their acceptance of this was based on the fact that they didn't know Leng Binglan was next to Xue Yunhuang; otherwise, they certainly wouldn't have thought this way.

The two arrived at the park under the scorching sun. Fortunately, the trees were lush and there were plenty of places to sit and rest. Leng Yihan told Lin Yin to find a place to sit first, while she went to a small shop further inside the park to buy two bottles of water to quench her thirst.

But when they got to Lin Yin, they saw that she didn't sit down, but squatted down, looking at something under the chair.

"What's wrong?" Leng Yihan jogged over to Lin Yin's side, following Lin Yin's gaze with a puzzled look. It was a swarm of ants, seemingly carrying something...

"Chocolate cake?" Leng Yihan looked at it for a long time before uttering the word in confusion.

"Hmm..." Lin Yin nodded.

"Oh no! We're late!" Leng Yihan's mind raced as she recalled what the waitress had said a dozen minutes earlier.

-

"Hmm... well... I couldn't see very clearly from inside, but it seemed to be heading in the direction of the park. You can go check over there. Oh, and she didn't buy her favorite strawberry cake, but a chocolate cake..."

-

"Let's go." Lin Yin stood up and walked towards the park entrance. Leng Yihan quickly unscrewed the cap of a water bottle and handed it to Lin Yin. "Here, don't tire yourself out."

"Mmm." Lin Yin nodded, took the water, and drank a big gulp in one go.

"Xiaoyin... do you think Binglan will come back with us?" Leng Yihan frowned, somewhat uncertain.

"Pfft... Believe in yourself, you idiot, she'll definitely come back, because she... loves you the most!" Looking at Lin Yin's serious expression, Leng Yihan didn't know what to say and blushed.

"...Thank you." After much hesitation, Leng Yihan whispered her thanks, took a big gulp of water, but the temperature on her face still wouldn't come down.

"Don't back down!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then we must find her and bring her back, Leng Yihan!"

"Okay, I will absolutely... find her!"

Yes.

You stole my heart without me even realizing it, and now you're not going anywhere... Cold Blue.

104 Confession

August 10th, 7 PM.

"Master! Huff... huff..."

"Hey, hey, young man, don't rush. What's wrong? Where are we going? Catch your breath first." Leng Yihan held onto the taxi door, breathing heavily, panting heavily, before opening the door and getting into the taxi.

"Driver, turn right ahead and pick up a girl with black hair in a single ponytail, then head to the entrance of Luoyue Residential Area... Hurry!"

"Okay." The taxi drove on the road. Fortunately, there was not much traffic. After picking up Lin Yin, the taxi turned around and headed towards Luoyue Community.

At 6 p.m., Leng Yihan received a call from Xiao Yulin, who said that he had confirmed Leng Binglan's location and where she was going next.

According to the agents sent by Xiao Yulin, two suspected targets walked out of Luoyue Community and went to a restaurant not far away for a meal. After another investigation by Xiao Yulin, the identities of the two people were confirmed as Leng Binglan and Feixue.

With the power of Xiao Yulin's money, Xiao Yulin quickly confirmed that Feixue's home was in Luoyue Community, and that her parents rarely came home. She guessed that Leng Binglan had begged her to take her in.

Anticipating that Feixue and Leng Binglan would definitely go home, Xiao Yulin directly called Leng Yihan, explained the situation, and told him to wait at the entrance of Luoyue Community.

Upon hearing this, even Leng Yihan, who was extremely anxious and concerned about Leng Binglan, couldn't help but sigh, "This is the power of money. No wonder she's the eldest daughter of the Xiao family..."

After notifying the others who were helping with the search that she had been found, Leng Yihan hailed a taxi, picked up Lin Yin, and headed to Luoyue Residential Area...

"Thanks, sir. How much?"

"Thirty-eight yuan and sixty cents, I'll give you thirty-five."

"Thanks, thanks..." After paying the fare, Leng Yihan and Lin Yin left the taxi. Leng Yihan confirmed with Xiao Yulin that the two were on their way back, so she and Lin Yin chose a spot and stood there, waiting for them to return.

The sun gradually sets, and the moon slowly rises.

"Mmm...it's so delicious! Right, isn't it, Ice Blue?"

"Mmm! I want to go eat there again next time!"

Feixue and Leng Binglan's voices reached Leng Yihan's ears one after the other. Leng Yihan nervously put away her phone, her heart pounding.

Suddenly, Leng Yihan's right hand was grasped by a soft little hand. Leng Yihan turned his head, and Lin Yin smiled gently at him: "It's okay, keep going."

"Mm." Leng Yihan nodded.

As Leng Binglan and Feixue passed by a corner, they found Leng Yihan and Lin Yin standing in front of them.
