Wang Jingyuan turned to Xie Yixiang. "Why is my box over there? Did you let Nangong Yao take it?"
"No, of course not." Xie Yixiang shook her head rapidly. "Now that you mention it, Miss Nangong did come over to chat with us while you were in the bathroom. I must not have noticed that she took your box with her. I'm sorry, Miss Wang, I should have paid more attention. I can go ask for it back for you."
"It's okay. It's not your fault; it's Nangong Yao's. I'll go."
Nangong Yao was not in her seat. Wang Jingyuan was just going to take the box back, but the box felt lighter than before. She opened the box with a bad feeling. Indeed, the Rubik's cube was gone!
