In the evening, I had just arrived in Shanghai, and it was still raining on the streets.

We ran into a friend we hadn't seen for many years, and as if we had never said so much, we sat on the street and started a long conversation. Although these were just some messy and some irritating glass fragments placed in the sun, they were so dense and intoxicated on a rainy night.

He bid farewell reluctantly, and then looked for a place to stay to prepare for the days he had to spend in Shanghai.

After choosing for a while, I booked at the Poli Q Hotel in Pudong. It is not far from the airport, so I don't have to worry about the fatigue of the journey.

The hotel lobby and functional seating area are connected, but they do not seem to conflict. The overall feeling is simple and comfortable.

Because I heard that the meals here were delicious, I went to enjoy my dinner after booking a room.

The restaurant is on the first floor and has a wide range of dishes and you can choose freely.

Pumpkin soup appetites, then pasta bologna, served with a fruit platter, and satisfied.

While eating, I noticed that the hotel had a lot of Q's, hanging, placed, and pasted. For a hotel that can grasp such small details as decoration, I admit that I have been praised.

When I entered the room, everything was neat, clean and orderly. Everything seemed to have been prepared and just waiting for me to check in. It made me feel very friendly.

It is worth mentioning that the style of Poli Q Hotel is very unique. Different from the old-school style of ordinary hotels, all details of Poli Q Hotel present a simple temperament from Northern Europe.

The wooden bedside lamp is embedded in the wall, and the warm yellow light gently touches the entire room.

Several photo frames of different sizes were suspended in the air. Under the illumination of the lights, they seemed to contain time from a journey.

A bunch of flowers was placed on a small black round table, bringing the room a sense of purity like a lake and couldn't bear to destroy it.

The bathroom is clean and simple, ready for the romance of bathrobes and steam.

Body wash, shampoo and conditioner were made to look like beer, milk, and ice cream, so beautiful that they even wanted to be eaten.

The thoughtful design of placing the body lotion outside the bathroom also makes it easier to grab it after taking a bath.

The one-button all-off switch design saves the time wasted in looking for switches back and forth.

The aroma of body milk is clear and hearty. When you put your nose close to it and smell it. The aroma is like sparks, and the stars hit the tip of your nose, like something that we have sealed up for a long time and intimate. I thought about it for a long time, ah, it was a gentle childhood.

Because of the rainy night, I couldn't see the stars, but the lights of thousands of homes outside the window were like many stars, transmitting the warmth of Shanghai through rainwater and glass, making me feel a little grateful.

Rereading the manuscript I was going to deliver tomorrow at the table against the wall, I was highly nervous. I leaned against the soft chair back for a while before I completely relaxed.

The rain and night outside the window had already made the voices fade away. In the quiet air, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I opened the curtains, and it was clear in Shanghai. The sun sneaked into the room through the curtains, awakening the warmth in the room.

I enjoyed a breakfast that was delivered directly to my room.

Yogurt, salad, coffee, bread, fried eggs, cereals... A simple yet rich combination.

After a night of rain, I really want to see the sun.

After breakfast, he found a sofa and sat down in the sitting area on the first floor.

The winter sun shines in, coupled with the green plants and books by the wall, and good times suddenly come. I ordered a glass of whiskey in the lobby bar. The winter in Shanghai was like a candle lit, full of sweet hope.

I put the change of clothes I had when I arrived in the self-service laundry room on the first floor. To my surprise, melodious music was still lingering in the lounge area of the laundry room. I was completely moved by such details. The winter in Shanghai seemed to have really warmed up.

Back at the leisure bar on the floor, there were several friends who also stayed there talking. I ordered soda and potato chips and chatted with them. I suddenly thought of the old friend I met yesterday. If we could, we would share a room in the silent night, talk affectionately, listen to music, and spend a few hours of otherworldly time in the dead of night.

While sharing potato chips with friends, one of them told me that when he stayed here recently, he liked to work out in the gym of Boli Q Hotel.

Then he told me that he didn't eat potato chips. I said that I suddenly thought of Kotaro Isaka's words,"I'm very happy when I eat, but I think that caring about my weight is a failure for things."

He smiled and told me to enjoy life to the fullest. He has a strong will: the will to work out.

Everyone laughed. It was so cute that such a conversation took place among several adults.

Afterwards, the friends enjoyed lunch at Boli Q Hotel, pre-dinner salad, cream mushroom soup, and chicken roll cuttlefish pasta.

The fitness enthusiast made himself a chicken breast with salad in the restaurant's open kitchen.

After lunch, my appointment with the editor is almost up. After bidding farewell to the friends I had just met, I got up and set out, taking my manuscript, and preparing to meet with this city.
