The outdoor temperature in Rongcheng today was scorching—it felt even hotter than the forty degrees the weather forecast had predicted.
Su Yue emerged from the building like a nimble kitten, darting out of the scorching sun and into the shade of the trees lining the road, then headed for the community entrance.
The security guards at the entrance of the Happiness Garden District weren't on duty outdoors today. Instead, they stayed inside the security office, which was filled with air conditioning.
It was understandable, of course. In this weather, anyone on duty outside would probably get heatstroke and collapse after just ten or twenty minutes under the blazing sun.
The guards on duty today were two young men, who were busy staring down at their phones and playing games inside the security office.
Suddenly, one of them spotted a graceful figure walking out from within the district and immediately nudged his colleague with his elbow.
