After waiting for more than half an hour, the first dish finally arrived.

Ye Xingbei stood up and said, "I’m going to the restroom."

Zhi Foliu stood up too, "I’ll go too."

"Then I’ll go as well," Ye Xingli said, "There’s no restroom on the first floor, the women’s restroom is on the third floor, and the men’s restroom is on the second floor."

In the suburbs, it’s not as refined as in Beijing, where each floor has both male and female restrooms.

The two acknowledged, linked hands, and went up to the third floor.

Coming out of the restroom, the two chatted while washing their hands.

After washing their hands, they were placing them under the hand dryer when a young, pretty girl hurriedly rushed in, heading straight to the sink.

She meticulously searched the sink area but didn’t find what she was looking for.

Her gaze fell upon Ye Xingbei and Zhi Foliu.

She walked a few steps forward, "Did you see a ring on the sink?"

Ye Xingbei and Zhi Foliu turned to look at her, shook their heads simultaneously, "No."

"Impossible!" Pan Xinran said decisively, "I just walked a few steps away and remembered my ring was on the sink, so I turned back to get it. There are only you two here, it must be you hiding my ring."

Ye Xingbei frowned, "This is a public place with people coming and going. Your ring is missing, how can you immediately accuse us of taking it? You will be legally responsible for slander!"

"Are you trying to scare me? Do you know who I am?" Pan Xinran looked Ye Xingbei up and down disdainfully, "Look at your shabby appearance! You must have seen my ring is valuable and hid it. Hand over my ring quickly, or I’ll call the police to arrest you!"

"Don’t throw baseless accusations!" Ye Xingbei was so angry her face turned red, "Call the police then! I’ll sue you for slander and defamation!"

"You... just wait!" Pan Xinran took out her phone, dialed a number, and put the phone to her ear, whining pitifully, "Cousin, come quickly, my ring was stolen and hidden by two thieves, help me find it!"

"Are you out of your mind? Which eye saw us hide your ring, and you’re proclaiming we hid your ring?" Ye Xingbei was so angry she wanted to wrench her teeth out.

How can there be such unreasonable people in this world?

"It’s definitely you!" Pan Xinran asserted confidently, "I just walked out not three steps and realized my ring was gone, turned back, and during that time, only the three of us were here. If it wasn’t you hiding it, was it me hiding it myself?"

"We don’t know how your ring got lost, nor are we interested," Zhi Foliu said calmly, "Your ring missing is your issue, you have no right to accuse us of stealing your ring."

"I’m not accusing you!" Pan Xinran shouted loudly, "You’re the ones who stole the ring!"

Although this farmhouse restaurant is in the suburbs, it has a great flow of customers.

The people on the third floor and those coming to the restroom gathered, forming a growing crowd.

Pan Xinran increasingly agitated, pointed at Zhi Foliu and Ye Xingbei, addressing the onlookers, "I took my ring off when I was washing my hands and left it on the sink. After washing my hands, I forgot to take the ring, walked out a few steps, and turned back. During the time from when I left to when I turned back, only the two of them were here, it must have been them who took my ring!"
