Rebirth: Different Way [(重生) 殊途]

Chapter 12

After Shen Xi returned from the cemetery, his mood was not good.

He didn't want to go back to the hotel alone, so he casually strolled along the busy commercial street of Zhongjing in the twilight. At this time, Shen Xi couldn't help but miss his group of friends from the past, not the people, but the feeling of having company.

As the night gradually enveloped Zhongjing, Shen Xi casually found an inconspicuous bar, nestled in a corner, and began to drink alone in silence.

Shen Xi couldn't remember how much he had drunk by the time a man dressed as a waiter snatched the glass from his hand and looked at him disapprovingly, "Guest, you've already drunk too much, you can't drink any more."

Shen Xi was already dizzy at this moment, and only his nervous energy kept him from collapsing. He didn't understand what the other party was saying. Looking at the wine glass in the waiter's hand, Shen Xi subconsciously went to fight for it but was suppressed by the waiter, "Guest, where do you live? I'll call a taxi for you."

The waiter seemed to say a lot more but in a daze, Shen Xi only heard the words "where do you live" clearly. He felt that the man seemed to be kind, so he forced himself to look up. In a trance, he thought he saw Fang Luowei and couldn't help but say, "Fang Luowei, so you are here."

After finishing this sentence, Shen Xi passed out and his body collapsed limply on the sofa. He did not see the waiter's surprised expression and did not hear him muttering, "Strange, how do you know my name is Fang Luowei."

Fang Luowei carefully looked at the drunk man. Under the dim light, the man looked no more than twenty-something and was very handsome. Perhaps because of the wine, the man's face was flushed with an odd shade of red, and his brows frowned tightly. It could be seen that he was not in a good mood.

After looking at him for half a second, Fang Luowei could not find the slightest impression of the man in his memory and had to keep his doubts to himself.

Seeing that the man was completely drunk, Fang Luowei resigned himself to leaning over to get the man's wallet and mobile phone, trying to see if he could find any clues related to the man, or at least find someone to take him home.

"What are you doing?" A low voice sounded behind him.

Taken aback, Fang Luowei turned around sharply. Several men and women, obviously customers, were standing behind him. The one who asked the question was a tall slender man in the front, now looking at him with a cold face and a scrutinising expression.

Fang Luowei blinked and explained, "This guest is drunk, I'm looking if I can find any clues to send him home."

Perhaps it was because Fang Luowei's attitude was so sincere that the customers easily believed his words. The man who had asked the question came forward and gave the drunk man a complicated look, leaned down and carefully picked him up.

Fang Luowei said instinctively, "You know this guest?"

The tall man nodded and turned his head to look at his companions, "I'll take him home, you guys can play by yourselves."

His companions had disappointed expressions on their faces and one of them, a petite girl, hurriedly asked, "Are you coming back, Mingxuan?"

The man called Mingxuan shook his head, "No, I have to rush home in the evening."

The disappointment on the girl's face was obvious but Li Mingxuan seemed to be completely blind to it and left the bar with Shen Xi in his arms.

Fang Luowei watched in disbelief as the man carried the drunk guest away, then suddenly remembered something and chased after him, "Wait, I still have the wallet."
