It's just past six in the evening.
The afterglow of the sunset is like a spilled orange paint, wantonly smearing across the skyline.
The reflection of the sunset on the car window jumps constantly, casting a yellowish filter over the street ahead.
Fang Cheng griped the steering wheel with one hand, slowly driving out of the congested East City District, heading towards Wanghu Town on the outskirts.
The scenery on both sides of the road gradually transforms from neon-lit glass facades into low houses and dense street trees.
The window is rolled halfway down, and the evening breeze blows softly, thoroughly leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind.
Earlier, at the intersection leading out of the city, he had already dropped off Ma Donghe and Hou Peng at their respective residences.
Now, with the car devoid of the chatter from those two guys, the cabin feels much more peaceful.
