Confessing Her Ambition

At the road junction, Bai Qingqing lowered her voice and said, "Don't turn the corner. Send me home."

Curtis paused imperceptibly. "Your parents are looking for you?"

"Mm." Bai Qingqing's body fell limp as she said vexedly, "My parents found out I lied about a family emergency to apply for leave from school last time. My teacher also informed them that my results have drastically gone down. They forbid me from taking a part-time job."

The car continued moving steadily and quietly on the road. In the car, Curtis was also terrifyingly quiet.

After a long time, Curtis spat out a few syllables. "So you're going to have to go home from now onwards?"

"… Mm." After she replied, she immediately felt the car wasn't steady, so she hurriedly added, "I'll try to convince them as soon as possible, to let me continue to come out!"

"How are you planning on doing that?" asked Curtis.
