Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 86 I've Come to Find You
Compared to the rain of the previous few days, the second day was a rare sunny day with a gentle breeze.

After washing up, Su Ruoyun leisurely went downstairs to the hotel restaurant on the first floor for breakfast, which was a semi-buffet style.

She grabbed a glass of juice and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. Holding the tray in both hands, she glanced around the restaurant before finally choosing a seat by the window.

Looking out the restaurant window, there is a large, lush green tree with a trunk as big as two people could hug. Its leaves intertwine to form a vibrant green sea. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that dance and dapple on the wooden table through the window.

Accompanied by these shadows, Su Ruoyun finished breakfast and returned to her room on the top floor. She arranged a time to meet her old classmate, dressed up, and then went out to keep the appointment.

Su Ruoyun and Cong Jingqi were roommates when they studied at the Central Conservatory of Music. After Cong Jingqi graduated, she was admitted to the Shanghai National Orchestra, while Su Ruoyun chose to study abroad. The two had not seen each other for more than two years, but when they met at the mall, their four years of college roommate friendship instantly returned, without any awkwardness.

After shopping for half a day, it was time for the two to choose a hot pot restaurant for lunch. The hot pot restaurant was bustling with activity, and the atmosphere was lively and noisy.

Since they hadn't made a reservation, all the private rooms were already booked, so the two of them were led by a waiter to a window seat in the lobby.

After the dishes were served, Cong Jingqi skillfully picked up a few slices of tender beef and put them into the pot, swishing them in the boiling red broth. She casually asked, "Why aren't you with the Central Orchestra again?"

In just a few seconds, the beef turned pink and glistened with an enticing sheen. She picked up a slice of beef with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, dipped it in the carefully prepared sauce, and found it tender, juicy, spicy, and fragrant.

As Su Ruoyun slowly chewed the tender beef in her mouth, she said, "I opened a teahouse in the capital."

Cong Jingqi nodded in understanding, instantly grasping the reason: as a public institution, the Central Orchestra's musicians have official positions, and according to regulations, they are naturally not allowed to engage in business while employed.

"But I do occasionally go back to the orchestra to visit."

"It's fine." She took a sip of her drink.

Su Ruoyun lifted her eyelids and asked, "And what about you? How are things going with your boyfriend?"

Jingqi's gentle tone revealed the astonishing news: "The wedding is next month."

When she heard this, Su Ruoyun was sipping soy milk through a straw. The sudden news caught her off guard, and she choked on her soy milk, her eyes widening as she exclaimed, "So fast?!"

"Is it fast?" Cong Jingqi asked in return.

Jingqi and her boyfriend met and fell in love during college, which has been more than five years. It's time for them to get to the point of discussing marriage.

"I was just surprised; I didn't expect you to get married so early."

"..."

They ate hotpot and chatted, their voices mingling with the aroma of the hotpot. By the time they finished, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Cong Jingqi, Su Ruoyun returned to the hotel. Standing at the door of her room, she subconsciously reached for her bag to get her room key, only to realize with a start that her bag was gone.

Several shopping bags were scattered around her legs. She half-squatted down, thinking she hadn't looked carefully enough, and rummaged through the shopping bags for her small square bag. She turned the shopping bags upside down, but still couldn't find the bag.

The incident that just happened wasn't hard to recall. While in the mall, she found it troublesome to hook her bag around her wrist, so she casually stuffed it into a shopping bag.

At the hot pot restaurant, she didn't touch her shopping bag the entire time. Su Ruoyun suspected she had left it at a store in the mall, but then she thought that if she had really left it, the sales clerk would have reminded her. She went through every detail of her day, but still couldn't figure out where she had lost her bag. Helpless, she had no choice but to go to the nearest police station for help.

Because the missing item was a limited-edition handbag of high value, the police quickly opened a case.

Su Ruoyun couldn't determine the exact time her handbag went missing. Given the large size of the mall and the wide coverage of surveillance cameras, the police officers patiently reviewed surveillance videos from every corner of the mall over several hours.

After a long and careful search, the bag was still nowhere to be found. The police officer shook his head helplessly and said that it was probably lost, but they would try their best to look again.

Su Ruoyun sat on a cold metal public chair in the case-handling hall, holding a receipt in her left hand. She had several cards and her ID card in her bag, which would be best if she could find them.

A moment later, she made a phone call to Su Mingyan.

House seemingly endless rain.

The WeChat call was disconnected in less than five seconds. A line of small text flashed by quickly: "The other party rejected your call request." Then, two simple words appeared in the chat: "Meeting."

Upon seeing those two words, Su Ruoyun immediately lowered her head, her long, smooth hair falling over her shoulders and perfectly covering half of her face. Her fingertips tapped the keyboard, and soon, an "OK" appeared in the chat box.

She sighed silently, then pulled out the WeChat contacts of the account managers from various banks and asked them to freeze her bank cards.

After finishing everything, Su Ruoyun closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, trying to use this moment of rest to relieve her physical and mental fatigue.

She never expected that she would lose her bag after going out for a short while. She thought about it for a while and then patted her head.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approaching clearly reached her ears.

Su Ruoyun suddenly opened her eyes and saw a tall, slender figure against the light. She recognized Huo Jingcheng.

He stood there tall and straight, wearing a black trench coat whose smooth lines accentuated his strong physique.

His collar was slightly turned up, obscuring half of his handsome face, revealing only his high nose bridge and deep-set eyes. The buttons on his cuffs were neatly fastened, revealing a small section of his wrist and arm with strong and powerful lines.

With one hand tucked into his trench coat pocket, his steps were steady and leisurely, the black trench coat swaying gently as he walked.

Huo Jingcheng walked straight up to her and stopped in front of her: "What are you doing here?"

Su Ruoyun subconsciously avoided Huo Jingcheng's gaze, raised her hand to tuck a few stray strands of hair behind her ear as if to hide her inner turmoil, cleared her throat awkwardly, and said in a forced calm tone, "Play."

Huo Jingcheng wanted to laugh, but he just smiled and asked with interest, "Come to the police station to play?"

Su Ruoyun responded with a barely audible "Mmm," and fearing Huo Jingcheng would press further, she quickly preemptively asked, "And you?"

"Come to you."

He remained nonchalant, casually glancing at her as her face tilted upwards, his deep voice reaching Su Ruoyun's ears.
