"Are you alright?" Aaron asked Mai as they were in the car on their way home.
It was too late to return to campus so the two of them decided to head back home. Even though Mai has a 'quiz' today. Hopefully, it won't affect the final exam results.
Mai shook her head. She has mixed feelings now, it's not very good. Afraid, feeling guilty, confused, sad, it feels like she just wants to run away to a faraway place.
Blurry? Mai remembers the incident earlier when she tried to run away. She didn't expect to be so cowardly, pleading in tears, but she didn't want to go to jail. And because of her fear, she even troubled other people, really selfish.
Mai thought about how Aaron felt at that time, when Aaron lied to his father for fear of being scolded, it was no different from what happened to her now. Lying to save herself, it's just that the lie has been exposed and Mai doesn't know what will happen in the future.
