In the heat of July, the scorching sun blazed like fire.
The weather forecast predicted today's temperature to peak at 37 degrees, but what it refers to is the shade, not under direct sunlight.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon, almost at the daily temperature peak. Standing under the blazing sun for just a moment could make one sweat profusely like rain.
Unless for specific jobs, no one would work under such a sun at this time. Even at the construction site right here, you wouldn't see busy workers — the site avoids working during the peak sun hours, scheduling work for the morning and after evening, or else someone might die from the heat.
However!
Under this unbearably hot sun, on this site with scattered building materials emitting a burnt smell, two people stood facing each other without moving.
One of them was Luo Chao.
