Half an hour after returning to the party room, He Jichen and Fatty wrapped up the party.
He Jichen paid the bill and the three of them exited Lou Wailou.
Fatty was in Hangzhou for work, so his company booked him a hotel room. Back at the party room, he already called for a taxi.
The three of them stood outside Lou Wailou opposite the West Lake. Less than two minutes later, Fatty's taxi arrived.
Fatty had a little too much to drink, so he had his arm around He Jichen's shoulder. They repeatedly said their farewells until the driver rolled down the window and rushed them. Fatty pulled the car door open and got in.
The taxi slowly sped up and Fatty stuck his head out. He continued to talk endlessly until the car had driven off into the distance and they could no longer hear his voice; Ji Yi could still see Fatty's hand waving.
The car took a turn and disappeared from sight.
