Qiao Suisui found Ruka when he was standing outside smoking.
The man's tall figure was not as erect as usual. He was leaning weakly against the wall, one hand holding a cigarette, the other holding a Light Computer, playing a video of Qiao Suisui. After watching it once, he rewound to the beginning and watched it again, repeating this five or six times.
"Ruka?"
Upon hearing Qiao Suisui's voice from behind him, Ruka's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and the next second, he squeezed the cigarette into his palm to put it out and then stuffed it into his pants pocket.
"How did you come out?"
Worried that she might smell the smoke, he stood up straight and said, "You go up first. I'll change my clothes and then join you."
Qiao Suisui did not follow his instructions. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged him tightly around the waist, burying herself into his embrace.
The man's expression froze for a moment, then he raised his arms to hug her back.
