"You just said 'unbearable to look at'? Are those truly the words you used?"
The donkey beside Elder Tian Wen truly hadn't expected Wu Tian to utter such a phrase. Doubting its own ears, it asked, "Could you repeat that?"
"Unbearable to look at," Wu Tian reiterated.
"This gentleman..." Hua'er couldn't believe it. Grandpa Donkey had given the man a chance, yet he persisted with the same response. She was shocked and terrified. Anyone would be furious if their work was criticized like that. Since she had been the one to bring Wu Tian here, she worried. If Elder Tian Wen gets angry, he might take it out on me too! What should I do?
Hua'er tugged at Wu Tian's sleeve. "Sir, are you feeling a tightness in your chest, perhaps a little dizzy? This is what doctors describe as heatstroke."
"No, I am quite clear-headed," Wu Tian replied with a shake of his head and a smile.
Hearing this, Hua'er felt like she could cough up blood. I already gave you an out, why won't you take it?!
