"Sorry, we're late!" An Hao said with a smile, "It's all Qin Jian's fault. He didn't tell me earlier so that I could have prepared the food first thing in the morning!"
"Come on in," Gu Shuangshuang stepped aside and let the two of them in.
As soon as An Hao entered, she saw a boy sitting on the living room couch. He couldn't be more than eighteen or nineteen, his face full of youthful innocence and simplicity.
"Is this... a relative of yours?" An Hao turned her head to ask Gu Shuangshuang.
As soon as she finished speaking, the boy sprang up excitedly and came charging over. He stopped in front of Qin Jian, snapped to attention, and saluted crisply, "New recruit Lin Sheng from the third squad of the second platoon reporting for duty!"
