midnight street

Tonight on the night shift, it was raining, and I didn't go home. I went to Xishicheng to watch a movie: "Dream Realizing Giant". It was nearly eleven o'clock, and I took the elevator from the back door, adding a little nervousness to the dim lights. The rain has almost stopped. On both sides of the aisle leading to the street, the shops are closing. In the bread talk shop, the lights in the counter are turned off, leaving only a few small lights on the top, illuminating the darkness in the counter and corner. In the coffee shop next door, there were three young people sitting at the table by the window. A girl took out a cigarette and put it to her mouth. There was a truck parked in the middle of the road, and several people were loading and unloading in and out of the car, talking about something, and it seemed a bit empty in the quiet night. There was a couple of lovers walking in front of me who were watching a movie with me. The woman was not tall. She wore leather pants with slightly rounded legs and a shawl on her upper body. The man was also very short, but they kept holding hands. Turned away after reaching the square. A pair of foreigners, very tall, came across, wondering if they were going to the bar called "Similar" that I just passed by. There is something exotic about this night. The street lamp was dim, shining on the rainy road, and the light was starting to light up, and I couldn't help humming the lyrics that didn't make a tune. The street scene after watching a movie, like a movie, has an unreal beauty.
