Chapter 87 - Hints in the Bathroom

Ignoring Zhuang Wei, Ying Yue happily continued eating her meal. Each bite of food was so satisying and truly showcased the quality of the food. The crab was soft and fell apart in her mouth. Her taste buds were singing everytime she placed a piece in her mouth. Pairing it with jasmine rice, a small pepper and the soup she made a delicious bite. She switched between the crab and her own dish. Each helped sate her hunger and added peppers for whenever she felt it was not spicy enough.

"Is it that good?" Turning to look at Xi Long she noticed that he had stopped eating and was focusing his attention on her.

"Why are you not eating?"

"I'll eat if you feed me..." He had a smirk on his face as he spoke. It was not as if he wasn't hungry but the food did not excite him as much as it did to her. They were regulars at this restaurant and have had this same dish many times. Not that it wasn't good, it just wasn't spoon shoveling worthy for him. Watching her eat was satisfying him in a certain way. But now that she had asked him it was a perfect setup to tease her. He could care less than Zhuang Wei was watching him and just focused on messing with her.

"You have two hands feed yourself!"

"Ah but it doesn't taste good when I feed myself."

Scrunching her face she looked at him with a pouting expression. There wasn't a problem with feeding him but the action itself was awkward. She hadn't fed anyone else since she was a child. Even then it was only because the other person was crying for her to feed him. Looking down at their dishes she felt a tad bit guilty with how much of his crab she ate. While he offered her to eat and the dish was large, she had still ate a significant portion.

She took a couple of seconds before picking up her spoon and loading it the way she would eat it. Balancing the large bite of crab, rice, and pepper she moved it towards his mouth. His eyebrows slightly raised in shock before returning to normal. She watched as he quickly ate the bite but didn't look away. Feeling pretty full she let herself feed him more. Loading up her spoon she fed him food between both of their dishes.

"Spicy enough or no?"

"I can take it a bit more spicy." She liked that he enjoyed spicy food as much as her. Not that the guy needed to match her level he should be able to hold his own. Adding another pepper onto the spoon she fed him a spicier portion with the spicy crab base. Within ten minutes both of them finished both dishes. Tapping her stomach she poured hot tea into both of their glasses. She would have poured it for Zhuang Wei as well but his glass was still full. The hot tea helped the food digest and cut through the oil of the dishes.

As they sat in silence finishing their meal Ying Yue picked up a napkin and wiped her face. Making sure nothing was on her face, she wiped her hands and used some santizer to clear any germs. Putting a mask back on her face she got up from the table.

"Where is the bathroom?"

"Down the hall and to the left." Zhuang Wei responded to her and even used his spoon to imitate the direction.

Nodding her head she slipped on her shoes her hat before heading out. They were the last door so she had to walk in the opposite direction to get to the bathroom. Taking slow steps she walked past the other rooms, each letting out a different sound. She could tell that some of the rooms were occuppied with a family and some had couples or a singular person. Nothing seemed out of place, as she turned to the left she saw the sign for the women's bathroom. As she entered she went into a free stall and locked it immediately. Before she could unzip her pants she heard someone shuffling in the stall next to her. Not that it wasn't normal considering it was the woman's bathroom but she could hear a different material movie as well. It almost sounded like a metal wire and a cardboard packaging breaking. Not a typical sound of a tampon or pad.

Continuing about her business Ying Yue used the bathroom like normal. If the other person started to notice that she wasn't movie they would quickly leave before she could find out what was happening. She had no clue who was in the other stall but her instinct told her to keep watch. Peeping through the slit she waited till the person stepped out into the open. Pulling some toilet paper she maintained her act as the body slowly emerged into her vision.

"The waitress??" Judging by the shoes already she had a guess about who it was. With the uniform and the colour of her hair it was easy to confirm the identity. It was annoying that the slit was so small but it was enough for now.

'Wang Jinghua who are you...?' Ying Yue kept watching as she washed her hands and had quickly left. Since there was nothing in her hands she could only assume that it was flushed down in the toilet. But what could be so important that she got rid of it in such a manner?

Flushing the toilet with her heel she stepped out and washed her hands under the sink. Using a paper towel she went back to the other stall and pushed it open. Peering in there was nothing to see from a wide look but she had to look further. It was kind of disgusting to look so close to a toilet but the fact that it was a higher end restaurant meant that they took care of hygenie very well. In addition the waitress didn't even use the bathroom. Bending down she saw something shiny on the floor, using the paper towel she picked up the small pierce of metal on the floor. Shifting around the metal seemed familiar as if she had seen it before.

"Is this....?"
