The afterglow of the sunset faded away, the night descended heavily, yet the City of Eternal Night remained brightly lit, countless artificial lights illuminating a bustling and prosperous scene.
Cen Dongsheng stepped out of the mall entrance, Yi Qingyan tugging at his sleeve, trailing him step by step.
Looking up, vehicles flowed nonstop on the distant overpass, headlights like twinkling stars forming a dazzling band of moving light; between the towering skyscrapers, huge advertisement screens played the latest ads.
The tall buildings at night appeared as silent giants standing side by side, different from the scene seen when gliding and leaping between buildings during the day.
Looking forward, long lines stretched in front of the street's pancake, kebab, and milk tea shops, while trees in the nearby park cast mottled shadows under the dim streetlights. Couples sat close on benches whispering, and some, like him, enjoyed the night view.
