"More money is needed."
Upon hearing this, Yui's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Eh, why?!"
"If you try to keep up, you'll definitely be speeding, you know what I mean."
The driver said slowly and deliberately.
"...I understand. You should hurry up and follow them, or it will be too late!"
Yui slumped to the ground, feeling utterly helpless. She wondered if her allowance for the month had already ended so soon…
"Late?" The driver laughed contemptuously. "I was a professional race car driver back then. You think you can outrun me with that kind of speed?"
Ah... I'm starting to miss the days when I was vying for supremacy with Fujino-nii-san..."
Yui: What are you babbling about...? Maybe we should just get off the bus...
Fortunately, the driver didn't disappoint her too much, and Yui quickly caught up with Mahiru.
The car was going really fast, no wonder it was driven by a professional racer... but the numbers on the meter were jumping even faster!
Finally, Yui got off the bus with unknown feelings, paid the fare with a heart full of despair, and declared herself bankrupt on the spot.
The girl looked grief-stricken.
I vaguely remember buying something on Pinduoduo a couple of days ago that had quality issues, and customer service said they would compensate me with 100 Sakura Coins.
But she had the money at the beginning of the month, so she didn't collect it. Is it too late to ask for it back now?
Without much thought, Yui quickly spotted a familiar figure entering a nearby coffee shop.
That was true daytime.
Want to go in?
Yui quickly rejected the idea because she was out of money...
Most importantly, although we don't know what will happen, it would still be more appropriate to let Xiaoqing do it, right?
The phone quickly edited the good news.
send!
[Yui: Kiyoshi, SOS!]
[Su Qing: I have no money.]
[Yui: ???]
【Fool!】
"The other party requests to share your location."
At this moment, Su Qing stared at the notification on the screen, her expression changing from a smile to a solemn one, until she became cold and expressionless.
Whose call could it be?
Is it Shiina...Saya?
……
……
Chapter 356 Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.
?
Without hesitation, Su Qing casually threw on a coat and went downstairs.
After using the app to call a taxi, the car arrived quickly.
Not long after getting in the car, Su Qing noticed that the car was moving a bit slowly, so she asked, "Driver, how long will it take to get there?"
"It's a bit of a distance... about twenty minutes."
The driver was a middle-aged man with rough skin and noticeable dark circles under his eyes.
twenty minutes?
By then, it would be too late.
"What if I pay more?" Su Qing asked.
According to his calculations, ten minutes would be enough, provided safety is guaranteed.
"Even if you offer more money, it won't work. Young man, I don't know what you're up to, but safety is the most important thing when you're out and about."
The middle-aged man glanced at the rearview mirror with slightly tired eyes and spoke slowly.
He certainly has driving skills; after all, he used to be a professional race car driver, but he's retired now.
But speaking of money, kindergarten tuition these days is shockingly high.
I wonder how much more money this young man can offer?
……
Paying extra doesn't work anymore?
Su Qing glanced at her phone; Yui had sent another message saying that the person Mahiru was waiting for hadn't arrived yet.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be in a hurry.
After a moment of silence, Su Qing suddenly smiled and said, "That's true, safety is indeed important."
However, the last time I rode in a car driven by a guy, his driving skills were really good, he was fast and steady.
For the same distance, it takes others fifteen minutes, but that guy only took five minutes. Uncle, you don't know...
"What uncle? I'm only in my thirties, okay!" The man interrupted Su Qing in a fit of frustration.
He seemed very concerned about his age, saying in a disdainful tone as he drove, "You don't need to provoke me. You drive fast and steadily, and you say you'll be there in five minutes? Even a ten-year veteran driver couldn't do that!"
"Big brother, you're really knowledgeable. I feel like you're even more skilled than a ten-year veteran driver," Su Qing asked curiously, her tone tinged with admiration.
"That's right, I used to be a professional race car driver!" The man smiled smugly, "If I were focused, I could get there in seven or eight minutes! But there's a toll for speeding..."
Without saying anything more, Su Qing cooperatively said, "Of course I should pay that part of the money."
"I love dealing with smart young people like you, you're so smart!"
The middle-aged man chuckled, then stepped on the gas. A deep, powerful roar followed, and he added, "Sit tight!"
……
As it turned out, the driver wasn't lying; when Su Qing got out of the car, she found that it had taken exactly eight minutes.
So he paid the money that was originally due, as well as the speeding fee and an additional thank-you fee, as agreed.
Inside the taxi.
The middle-aged driver didn't seem happy after receiving the money; he seemed to have something on his mind.
I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when I reached into my pocket, I found nothing; all I could find was a box of candy.
He then remembered that he had quit smoking long ago for his daughter's sake.
Candy is fine, but I wonder if eating too much of this stuff will cause high blood sugar.
After thinking for a long time, Fujii gritted his teeth and finally returned the considerable thank-you fee to Su Qing through the platform.
Only keep what you deserve and what you overspend.
After he finished doing everything, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, Fujino, you're such an idiot! You wouldn't accept money even though you had it, and I even got a point deducted from my driver's license for nothing!"
But after a while, he shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, let's just consider it a good deed."
I wonder what's wrong with that young man, that he's in such a hurry.
Hey, just as impatient as I was when I was young.
I remember I used to be this impatient person, which is why I thought of becoming a race car driver…
Fujino accidentally scanned his personal signature:
Time flies like an arrow, shooting down everyone who tries to go against the current.
Couldn't help but chuckle.
He's not doing any good deeds; he's not a particularly kind person anyway.
I just happened to be driving fast for once and suddenly started to miss the old days.
Ultimately, what people miss most is the spirited and ambitious version of themselves they once were.
Oh well, let's just consider it an invitation for my past self to ride in the car!
After turning on his phone, Fujino discovered that a former teammate had sent him a voice message:
"Brother Fujino, I'm reminded of the days when we vied for supremacy!"
This guy's a lunatic. I don't know what triggered him, but he's started acting crazy again.
Fujino has read the message but is not replying.
What good are generous prize money or thrilling races?
The level of risk is not mentioned at all.
You can earn money, but you also need to be alive to spend it. Not to mention that after he had a wife and children, his life no longer belonged to him alone.
Just as I was about to close my phone, my wife sent me a message.
The gist is that my daughter is about to start piano lessons, but our family's income and expenses are unbalanced this month...
Fujino was stunned after reading it. "BYD, what a coincidence!"
He was just putting on airs!
Seriously, does education have to be this rigorous these days? We're only in kindergarten now, right?
Without much hesitation, he opened the software.
After regaining control of his emotions, he scratched the back of his head and said with an awkward laugh:
"Hey young man, it seems you really can't deny your age when you reach middle age. Look, I don't know how to operate it, and I accidentally clicked 'refund'..."
He blushed as he spoke.
Tsk, when it comes to making money, losing face a little isn't shameful!
That's the only way he could comfort himself.
Unexpectedly, before the voice message was even sent, Su Qing transferred the money back.
The note reads: Safety first, so this is your safety fee, brother.
Fujino's voice message was abruptly cut off before it could be sent, because the time limit had been exceeded and the message had already been sent.
He hurriedly retracted the message in a panic, and luckily it remained unread until the very end, otherwise he would have been terribly embarrassed!
But he didn't accept it immediately. Instead, he stared at the screen for a long time before exiting and changing his personal signature:
Time flies, may we all meet someone with whom we can willingly go with the flow.
After doing everything, he accepted the money, drove off, and hummed a line from a movie:
"Hmm, there are countless roads, but safety is the most important!"
Improper driving...wait, I think I've got it mixed up?

Chapter 357 The hero returns home
?
What are you doing here?
After arriving at a coffee shop that Yui had located using her shared location, Su Qing met her there.
She was secretly observing something, completely unaware that someone was approaching her.
"Xiao Qing! You scared me to death!"
Yui jumped in fright, revealing her red, frostbitten ear tips beneath her scarf.
