Extra: Military Training Uniform

The summer vacation of their junior year.

Duan Xu hadn't gone home. He was still living in the little place near the school with Shen Yanlang, clocking in at the company on weekdays like an office worker.

As a publicity designer, his work was busy when it was busy and easy when it wasn't. In any case, he had more free time than Shen Yanlang, who worked in tech.

On Saturday, Duan Xu was home alone. Looking at the date on his phone, he said, "Today is Qixi Valentine's Day..."

They had been so busy lately that he hadn't even noticed Valentine's Day was here. He still hadn't bought a gift!

"Maybe I should go out first?" Duan Xu sat up and glanced out the window. "The sun is so intense. I'm scared. I'd better wait a while before going out."

So Duan Xu lay back down.

That "while" lasted until Shen Yanlang got home from work, when Duan Xu suddenly remembered. "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?" Shen Yanlang asked as he changed his shoes and walked over, though one of his hands was hidden behind his back.

Duan Xu saw it and asked guiltily, "You're back? Um..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yanlang sat beside him and brought out his hand. He was holding nine blooming red roses. "Xuxu, happy Valentine's Day!"

"Ahaha... Happy Valentine's Day." Duan Xu accepted the flowers, feeling even guiltier. What was he supposed to do when he had forgotten to buy a gift?

That expression...

Duan Xu: "..."

Shen Yanlang raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't ask for now. He brought out his other hand from behind his back as well,
