At first, Sayu was quite looking forward to this trip. After all, it was her first time to travel far away from home. But soon, she regretted it.

“Ooooo…uh uh uh…!”

“Really.”

Looking at Sayu who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I didn't expect you to get carsick."

"I, I'm not carsick! What kind of car are you driving, Mr. Fang Zheng?!"

After finally catching her breath, Sayu clenched her hands and protested to Fang Zheng. Although before the journey began, she had secretly decided in her heart that she would be patient even if the other party did something a little bit too much, but what Sayu didn't expect was that she broke down not long after she came out.

After all, no matter how good her temper is, she can't remain calm when facing life and death.

"Don't worry, I've always driven like this and nothing has ever happened."

“…No, no, no, is that the question?”

Hearing this, Sayu waved her hands hastily.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, this is really not possible. This is absolutely not possible. If I continue, I will die."

"Then I'll drive slower, okay?"

"Please drive slower! ...Ah..."

However, after saying this, Sayu was stunned for a moment and then lowered her head.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"This is the first time I have spoken my mind so bluntly in front of outsiders. I clearly didn't say that before..."

"What does it matter? Just say whatever you want to say. What's the point of just enduring? I don't like this about the Japanese. They keep everything to themselves."

"But if I do this... I will be alienated by everyone..."

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"

After hearing Sayu's answer, Fang Zheng looked at her dumbfounded.

"You've already run away from home, and you still think what you did is okay?"

“…”

"You don't think that keeping everything to yourself and worrying about others will lead to good results, right? If there were good results, would you have come all the way here from Hokkaido?"

“…”

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Sayu was stunned, and stood there in shock as if struck by a bolt from the blue. But soon, she lowered her head.

"But... I'm just a high school student after all... What can I do?"

"Just because you couldn't do it before doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. Indeed, as you said, you are just a high school student. You can't go to work, you don't get involved in bad groups, and you don't have much money. But...what about this?"

"……Why?"

"You've already run away from home."

Fang Zheng stared at Sayu and repeated this sentence again.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I can see that you are not the kind of rebellious girl who does whatever she wants. The fact that you are forced to run away from home means that things have developed to the point where you can no longer endure it. Isn't that the case in fact? You feel that you are just a powerless high school student, so you can only endure it silently, but isn't the result still the same? So, why don't you let go? Aren't you even planning to use yourself as a reward in exchange for accommodation? In other words, you have already come to this point, what else do you have to lose?"

"I……"

Sayu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Okay, get in the car."

Fang Zheng knocked on the car door. Sayu hesitated for a moment, but finally got in the car.

After that, she just kept looking out the car window. Fang Zheng just turned on the music and drove silently.

I don't know how much time passed, but Sayu suddenly spoke.

"This is the first time I've heard someone say this to me."

"That's right. You don't look like someone who would have friends."

Fang Zheng nonchalantly steered the wheel and spoke at the same time.

"I still have friends... I once had a... best friend..."

"Once... Is that why you ran away from home?"

Hearing Sayu's tone, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while the latter just looked out the window silently. After a while, Sayu spoke again.

"...I...originally had a friend."

According to Sayu, she originally had no friends in her class, but because she was pretty, people would often come to her. What changed Sayu was a confession - a boy asked Sayu to date him. The boy was a famous handsome guy in the school, but Sayu obviously didn't intend to date such a popular person, so she rejected the confession.

Originally, Sayu thought that was the end of it, but she didn't expect that afterwards, some girls who liked that boy would come to her and question why she rejected the handsome boy's confession... Then, Sayu was completely isolated by the people in the class.

Of course, it was just isolation, and although there was some bullying occasionally, Sayu herself didn't care. But when she was promoted to the second year of high school, a girl who was originally inconspicuous in the class approached her and hoped to become friends with her, and Sayu agreed.

That period was the happiest time for Sayu, but unfortunately it didn't last long. Soon, because of being with Sayu, the girl was also bullied. Although Sayu learned about the situation from the girl and warned those girls not to do it again, it was obviously useless. At that time, Sayu just comforted the girl, hoping that she and herself could endure it together until graduation from high school.

But unfortunately, the other party obviously couldn't bear it, and in the end... she chose to commit suicide.

Of course, this incident caused an uproar in the local area. Media reporters kept visiting, and Sayu was under a lot of pressure during that time. In the end, because of this incident, she had a conflict with her mother and fled her home.

“…Did I do something wrong at that time?”

Looking out the window, Sayu seemed to be talking to herself, or asking Fang Zheng, who shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course I did something wrong."

"So, what should I do? I have looked for a teacher, but even the teacher doesn't believe me. My mother... is the same..."

"Oh, it's easy, just three steps."

“…Three steps?”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sayu turned around and looked at him curiously.

"Right. First, find a fire extinguisher."

"Um?"

"Then, take the fire extinguisher to the squad."

"Uh-huh??"

"Then find the boss of the group that bullied you and smash her head with a fire extinguisher."

"Hmm...eh? Eh hey hey?!!"

Hearing this, Sha Youxi nodded subconsciously, and then was suddenly stunned.

"But, but that's murder!"

"What are you afraid of? You're just a high school student."

Fang Zheng glanced at her.

"Besides, they were the ones who forced your friend to death. Why should you be suffering here? Shouldn't they be the ones who are suffering? And what's the big deal about you running away from home? You are all alone, and your friend died, but the culprit is happily staying in school? Is there such a good thing?"

Having said this, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, and then his eyes changed slightly.

"I changed my mind. Let's go to Hokkaido."

"What to do in Hokkaido?"

"revenge."

Fang Zheng stared at Sayu and spoke word by word.

"They forced your best friend to death, and you just let them live freely in the world without any expression? Even if you don't kill them, you have to make them want to live but cannot, and want to die but cannot. Otherwise, how can your friend rest in peace in peace? Didn't you say she was your best friend? In the end, your best friend was forced to death, and you are here crying and hating your powerlessness? Don't you plan to do something?"

"But...what can I do?"

“There’s a lot you can do.”

Looking at Sayu, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"I can teach you."

Then he spoke.

"Teach me..."

"That's right. It depends on whether you have this idea. She is your friend. Do you want to avenge her, or blame yourself here, or continue to escape? This is your own choice... So..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stared at Sayu.

"Come and make a choice. Once you make a choice, you will have to bear the consequences. Do you want to go back to Hokkaido and cause trouble, or stay here and continue your journey?"

“…”

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Sayu lowered her head, her face pale, and she clenched her hands tightly.

Then, Sayu made up her mind and raised her head.

"I...I want revenge. Although I don't know what I can do, I don't want it to end like this!"

"very good."

Hearing Sayu's answer, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly.

"Then we need to speed up."

“Eh? Wait, this or wait a moment aa ...

Accompanied by the girl's screams, the sports car accelerated again and sped forward.
