The evening sky was desolate like water, darkness shrouding the city from above, while the neon lights illuminated the entire city. The night breeze caressed gently, the allure of the night seductive as if the city were an enchanting maze that trapped countless people, unable to extricate themselves.
One after another, cars with their headlights on sped on the ring road around the city like shooting stars.
Along the green belt of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Jiangzhong, the road was sporadically lit by street lamps and lined with dense rows of trees, making the whole stretch eerily quiet, with very few vehicles passing by.
It was like a sanctuary, free of the hustle and noise of the bustling city crowds.
Not far off lay the endless river, reflecting like a galaxy on the long stretch of red-brick and green-tiled buildings along its bank!
