I can't just leave her alone and go.
Not to mention that before leaving, Yao was giving me instructions and pushing that idiot towards me, asking me to take good care of her. If I just went back like that, wouldn't it make it seem like I ran away in a cowardly manner because I was scared? If I did that, Yao would definitely nag me for days on end.
