Qiao Suisui was carried down by Zong Fang, wrapped in a man's coat, her tiny form curled up in his arms, unnatural in her walk today due to yesterday's ordeal.
Ruka saw this scene without surprise, merely exchanging a glance with Leberli, observing his unmistakable discontent. His gaze lingered and when Carl appeared last, Ruka paused briefly.
Carl, hands in his pockets, followed behind and greeted Ruka, "Looks like I'll be imposing on you for a while."
Ruka said nothing, then turned to look at Qiao Suisui who was stretching her arms to be held, and immediately took her into his arms from Zong Fang's embrace.
Feeling his scent, Qiao Suisui finally settled down inside. She whispered around Ruka's neck, "Ruka, I missed you so much."
Ruka smiled tenderly, supporting her buttocks with his strong arms like holding a child, his other hand gently patting her back, and softly said, "I missed you too."
