It was late into the night, so Zuo An certainly would not let a drunk woman wander aimlessly on the road. He persuaded her gently, “Weilai, you should go back and rest. It’s not safe to walk around at night.”

Xu Weilai had not much rationality and restraint under the influence of alcohol. Her temper flared up and she yelled at him, “I’m going to walk.”

She pushed Zuo An away and staggered forward in her high heels unsteadily.

Qiao Chu seemed concerned with the situation Xu Weilai was in and offered, “Mr. Zuo, why don’t you drive yourself back first and have a rest? I’ll follow her.”

Zuo An shook his head. “I’ll go after her. She’s doesn’t seem well.”

A strange emotion flashed in Qiao Chu’s eye. Before he could realize Zuo An was already striding towards drunken Xu Weilai.

Xu Weilai was stumbling around as she tried to balance herself in her high heels. She even almost fell down several times. Out of a sudden, she squatted down on the floor. Zuo An, who was following closely from behind thought she had fallen on the ground and quickened his stride to help her. When he reached her, he did not expect to see her squatted on the floor to take off her high heels.

With her high heels in both hands, she stood up and continued walking barefooted.

Zuo An was stunned for a few seconds as he took some time to digest what happened before him. He had never seen a woman act like this in front of him.

Although he knew that Xu Weilai had always been a woman who didn’t care about trifles.

Xu Weilai didn’t seem to have any destination in her mind. She just kept walking wherever her feet took her. When the wind blew, she would raise her head slightly and took a few deep breaths. Then she would take a few steps forward again, stopped, and continued walking.

As Xu Weilai was not in any drunken fit, Zuo An just let her be and kept a distance of few steps from behind. He would send her home when she eventually got tired from all the walking.

After they walked for about fifteen minutes, Xu Weilai seemed tired. She noticed a bench by the side of the road, walked over, and sat down on the bench. Then, she leaned back and closed her eyes slightly.

Soon after, she lifted her feet up on the bench and hugged her knees with both hands. She rested her chin on her knees and her shoulders started to tremble faintly.

Although it was soft, Zuo An could still hear her muffled sob.

He stood still and observed her quietly for a moment. Eventually, he decided to walk over and sat down on the bench beside her. He gently patted her twice on her head.

His movement was awkward as he seemed to lack the experience of comforting others. He even seemed uneasy when he tried to find the correct words to comfort her, “Don’t you hate Gu Yu? Why are you still so sad?”

Xu Weilai slowly opened her eyes when she heard his voice. She turned her face towards him and squinted at him for a long time. She squeezed out a smile when she seemed to have just recognized who he was. “What makes you think that I’m sad because of Gu Yu?” Xu Wei Lai blurted, as she tried to defend herself and to save whatever dignity that was left.

“Oh? Not because of him? Then why are you sad?” Zuo An raised his eyebrows. “Tell me. Perhaps I can help with your problems.”

“Me…”

Xu Weilai pointed her dainty fingers at herself. The drunkenness hint in her eyes made her look confused, which enhanced the brightness of her eyes. They shone like the stars in the night.

She smiled slyly. She answered with a question, “Why do you need a reason to be sad? Women’s emotions are so fickle. I just feel sad all of a sudden. Can’t I be sad without a reason?”

At this moment, Zuo An confirmed that she was drunk. Otherwise, she would not say such illogical and incoherent words.

It was meaningless to reason with a drunk. Therefore, he simply went along with her. “Yes, you’re right.”
