Anna Kinomiya? How could she be here?
Her appearance was truly beyond Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expectations.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had only known Anna Kinomiya for two days and was not very familiar with her yet.
She should be Meari's new friend, so why did she suddenly hug him and start crying?
Moreover, this was in the lobby of the police station, and it looked as if he had bullied her...
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt a bit awkward. He gently pulled her away and asked, exasperated, "Miss Anna, why are you crying when you see me? Someone who didn't know might think I bullied you."
"I heard the news of you being kidnapped at home and didn't sleep well all night. I thought I would never see you again..." Ririka sobbed softly.
These were tears of joy.
The Momobami Family had great power, with their own intelligence channels in the police force. Moreover, their family and Ayanokoji Fugang had always maintained a good cooperative relationship, so they knew about Ayanokoji's kidnapping as soon as it happened.
However, of course, the first news they received was that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had been kidnapped.
Upon hearing this news, Ririka Momobami was indeed very worried, but what she worried about more was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's mood.
She had also tried to call Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, but no one answered.
She didn't think much of it, only assuming that since his brother had been kidnapped, it was only natural for him to be in no mood to answer the phone, completely unaware that what she had heard was "Fake News."
It wasn't until Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was found by the police, and the news reached Ririka's ears layer by layer, that she realized she had misunderstood; the person kidnapped was actually Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
She was completely stunned.
Especially when she learned that the kidnappers were armed with guns, she was even more shocked and immediately felt a surge of fear.
If it weren't for the gun "malfunctioning," she might never have been able to see Ayanokoji Kiyotaka again...
She was very worried that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka would leave her like this. She wanted to go out to see Ayanokoji last night but was strictly prevented by her older sister.
His sister also knew about this matter, but she wasn't worried at all. Instead, she said that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wouldn't die so easily, telling Ririka not to worry too much and not to contact him.
Ririka usually listened to her sister the most. Although she was very anxious inside, she could only stay at home and wait for news from outside.
This morning, she found out Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's whereabouts, quickly disguised herself, and rushed to the police station.
Her sister had indeed told her not to contact Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, but Ririka already had a countermeasure.
She didn't use her original identity, but instead used the fake identity of "Anna Kinomiya"... This way, it wouldn't count as disobeying her sister's wishes, right?
She waited for a long time at the police station entrance. When she saw Ayanokoji appear safely in front of her, her suspended heart finally fell to the ground, and then, unable to control her emotions, she burst into tears.
She cried, but Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was somewhat bewildered.
Are we that close?
Why are you crying so miserably that I'm safe, as if I'm someone very important to you...
Beside Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was Ikishima, staring at him with a playful expression.
"Ayanokoji, aren't you going to introduce who this is?"
"This is Miss Anna Kinomiya, a friend of Meari."
Ririka felt a little sad hearing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's polite yet distant words.
However, she still wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, placed her hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and showed an elegant smile.
"I apologize, I was a bit out of sorts just now. Ayanokoji is Meari's friend, and of course, my friend too. Moreover, he is the owner of my coffee shop. I was very worried something might happen to him, which is why I got emotional..."
Ririka's words were very appropriate, and although they sounded a bit forced, they still explained why she cried out loud.
After all, this was at the entrance of the police station lobby. In just this short while, more than a dozen people came and went, and they all looked at the three of them with strange eyes, wondering what kind of third-rate romance drama they were thinking of.
"Let's talk outside."
This was not a suitable place for a conversation. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka gestured for the two of them to come out with him.
After bidding farewell to the police officer and leaving the police station, Ririka finally couldn't help but ask the question she most wanted to ask: "Ayanokoji, why is Ikishima with you?"
Why was Ikishima Midari here too? Did she arrive even faster than I did?
The matter of Ikishima Midari's kidnapping was not disseminated as important information. Apart from Shishimous father, no one else who inquired about the news from the outside was aware of it.
It wasn't that they couldn't find out; it was simply that they didn't care.
Their focus was, of course, on Ayanokoji Fugang's every move. As for Ikishima Midari's matter, it was naturally ignored by them.
"Actually, both of us were kidnapped yesterday," Ayanokoji said.
"Then, last night, you two..."
"We slept very well last night under police protection." Ikishima Midari spoke first and deliberately winked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
She confirmed what she had said before: she would not use her identity to prevent Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from interacting with other girls.
Ayanokoji gave Ikishima Midari a helpless look.
He could see Ikishima Midari's thoughts; she thought there was some romance between him and Anna, otherwise, she wouldn't have chased him here so early in the morning.
But the problem was... he really wasn't very familiar with Anna Kinomiya.
The exchange of glances between the two naturally did not escape Ririka's eyes, and a hint of disappointment flashed within them.
She had already guessed that the two of them must have slept in the same bed last night.
Ririka had long seen the special relationship between Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Ikishima Midari from the school surveillance. Not only with her, but Ayanokoji's private matters with Hanatemari Kazura, she also knew clearly.
Feelings of envy and bitterness flashed through her heart.
She desperately wished that the person standing beside Ayanokoji Kiyotaka at this moment was herself, but now, she could only pretend to be ignorant...
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was currently unaware of Ririka's thoughts, nor could he possibly know.
He turned to Ririka and suggested, "We both need to reapply for our documents first. Do you want to come with us? How about we have lunch together later?"
She was someone who woke up early just to come to the police station to find him. By all accounts, he should thank her.
"Yes, I want to go!" Ririka pretended to be nonchalant and nodded with a smile.
