For Sayu, there was still one very important thing she had to do right now: go to school.
"...Mr. Fang Zheng, do I really have to go to school?"
Looking at the high school before her, Sayu made no attempt to hide her displeasure.
"You're a high school student, after all. Besides, wasn't this your brother's condition? It was part of the deal. Be good and go to school."
"Haaah..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Sayu let out a helpless sigh.
"I never thought I'd actually have to repeat a year..."
"You ran away from home. You brought this on yourself."
"Transferring schools in the second year is such a pain. Everyone's already formed their little cliques, and I'm the only outsider."
"School is for studying. None of that really matters, does it?"
"Mm, so if someone bullies me, I can still smash their heads in with a fire extinguisher, right?"
"I'd suggest dragging them into the restroom when no one's looking, putting a bag over their heads, and giving them a good pummeling. Besides, bullying isn't something you'd care about anymore, is it?"
"That's true."
At that, Sayu smiled faintly.
"I'm not the same person I used to be."
"Well then, good luck. I have a lot to deal with these next few days, so go home by yourself after school."
With that, Fang Zheng drove away, leaving Sayu alone at the school gate with her backpack.
Haaah... What a pain.
Honestly, after living such a carefree life for so long, Sayu had long since lost any desire to return to school. She felt like someone reluctantly stepping into school after a wonderful summer vacation had come to an end.
If she had to put it another way, she felt more like a depressed office worker.
Still, Sayu silently sighed
