"She doesn’t want me anymore."
"My wife doesn’t want me anymore!"
Wrapped in the darkness of the night, Jiang Zhiyi held a beer bottle, his eyes empty, muttering to himself.
In front of him already lay seven or eight empty bottles.
"The world is full of new opportunities, don’t be too sad. Even though she doesn’t want you, you still have a whole forest!" That’s way better than being forever single!
"That’s right, if all else fails, we’ll just find another one!"
Li Yue and Gu Xun offered comfort that wasn’t very heartfelt, while they also took the opportunity to snap photos of each other’s drunken "ugliness."
"But I only want her."
From kindergarten to high school, she was the only one he ever liked.
Once lost, she was gone forever!
The inebriated youth suddenly had tears in his eyes as he hugged the bottle, the tears dropping unexpectedly onto the table, making him look like an abandoned child, helpless and pitiful.
What did they just see?
Brother Yi was actually crying!
The scene almost made Li Yue and Gu Xun, two grown men, drop their phones in shock.
They hadn’t expected Brother Yi to have such an affectionate side. It touched them deeply. "Okay, okay, if you want her, you want her. We will help you get her here right now..."
A tough guy shedding tears is too much; they couldn’t handle it!
Shen Weiyi was reading a book when suddenly she received a call from an unknown number.
As soon as she answered, she heard Li Yue’s loud voice say, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yi got drunk. We don’t know where his house is, can you please come and take him home? I’ll text you the address shortly."
"I..." Before Shen Weiyi could speak, the caller hastily hung up, as if afraid she would refuse.
The next second, a message popped up on Shen Weiyi’s phone with the address of a barbecue restaurant.
It was near the school.
Shen Weiyi initially didn’t want to get involved. She put down her phone and picked up her book again, but after a long while, she realized she couldn’t concentrate on a single word.
Eventually, she stood up, grabbed a jacket, and left the house.
Getting out of the taxi, Shen Weiyi took out her phone.
Just as she was about to check the location against what was displayed, she heard a familiar voice, "Zhixi, you’re drunk. Let me take you home."
Shen Weiyi looked up and saw not far at an outdoor table, Xu Chenxi was trying to help someone up.
Jiang Zhiyi was totally drunk by then, but his mind was still stuck on Li Yue calling Shen Weiyi, so he mistook the person in front of him for Shen Weiyi and obediently let himself be helped, his eyes fixed on her face, unnaturally quiet.
Shen Weiyi’s steps halted right there.
"Sorry, I’ll take my brother home first," Xu Chenxi said as she helped Jiang Zhiyi up while greeting Gu Xun and Li Yue at the table.
Gu Xun looked at Jiang Zhiyi, who was completely confused from drinking, and said, "Maybe we should take him home?"
Xu Chenxi smiled and replied, "No need to bother you guys. I live with my brother, I can take him home. Plus, I’ve already called a cab. You guys should head home and rest too!" After saying this, she helped Jiang Zhiyi towards a taxi stopped by the curb.
"Are we really letting them go ?" Li Yue looked at Gu Xun and then in the direction of the departing pair, feeling somehow that it wasn’t right to let Brother Yi go with someone else.
Gu Xun responded, "What else can we do?"
Li Yue scratched his head, "What if the ’little fairy’ shows up?"
Gu Xun lowered his head to check the time on his phone, "It’s been so long already. She probably won’t come."
