Detour

Originally, none of these people were supposed to show up at Zhai Yanjun's house. They had to take different routes to get to their own destinations and yet, as fate would have it, Zhai Yanjun's car broke down when they were about to go their separate ways.

"What's up?" questioned Shui Xian when he noticed Zhai Yanjun's car wasn't starting.

"Don't know," answered Zhai Yanjun as he got down from the car and went to check what was wrong with his car. But he wasn't that familiar with cars. He had spent way too long in the army where he didn't need to even drive his car for months. So, he wasn't sure what was the issue here. "I guess I need to call a mechanic," he commented while ruffling his hair in annoyance. 

"How will you get home?" asked Shui Xian.

"Let's see if I can call a cab," said Zhai Yanjun and pulled out his phone to check the cab service app. However, at this time of the night, there were no cars in the area.
