Grudge

Late summer was scorching, yet the outdoor air-conditioning units mounted outside the walls continued working without pause.

More than twenty meters from Lin Li, two children were playing around at the entrance of a shop.

Above the heads of those two children, an outdoor air-conditioning unit was swaying precariously.
