As the lights began to come on, the night was a flood of glistening colors.
The hotel room was dark, with only dim lights penetrating the curtains from outside.
Lu Chenyuan stood with his back to the light, immersed in the diagonally cast, dim yellow glow, his whole presence growing increasingly profound.
"I've been busy up until now, Ou has already been picked up by his grandpa, and the aunt went along," he said.
Lin Yan, her eyes clear in their black and white distinction, looked at Lu Chenyuan. "Have you eaten? Come with me to the university town for some food."
Lu Chenyuan took a cigarette box from the inside pocket of his suit, shielded the flame with one hand to light up, and slowly exhaled a drifting white smoke while removing the cigarette from between his thin lips.
"I've always disliked coming here, competing with the young for a spot. We just passed Wenxing Street, the roadside was packed with cars. If you want to go, we should leave the car at the hotel."
