Although it's mid-September, the sun is still scorching, and the heat hasn't subsided.
"It's alright." Duan Xu rested his elbows on the railing, looking down at Shen Yanlang. "The sun doesn't reach here."
After saying that, he asked Shen Yanlang, "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"
After Shen Yanlang finished his military training, whenever he didn't have classes in the third or fourth period, his friend would go to the cafeteria in advance to get his food. This way, Shen Yanlang wouldn't have to squeeze in with others or wait in line, and could just come and eat directly.
Shen Yanlang was initially unwilling, reluctant to let Duan Xu do these things, but Duan Xu insisted on going and even threatened to sleep in the living room if he didn't agree, so he had no choice but to give in.
"Just like you." Shen Yanlang didn't have any particular favorite dishes.
After saying that, Shen Yanlang looked at him and asked, "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"
"You're definitely thinking about lewd things." Duan Xu Shen Yanlang very well.
Sure enough, Shen Yanlang chuckled softly, staring intently at him.
[I'm wondering if it's possible to keep you in the stands.]
Duan Xu's cheeks flushed, and he glanced guiltily at the others, whispering, "Can you please not be so perverted?"
Shen Yanlang smiled, "Don't you find it exciting? Just like before..."
[Behind the big tree on the playground.]
Duan Xu immediately recalled the time when Shen Yanlang him down behind a big tree and kissed him while they were walking around the playground the night before. They had done it more than once, and it was quite exciting.
"Hmph, just dream about it," Duan Xu scoffed. "There are surveillance cameras here!"
Shen Yanlang hummed in agreement. That was indeed something he could only dream about, but there was another thing that could be done. "Xuxu, do you still have your military training uniform?"
"Still here? What's wrong?" Duan Xu, puzzled.
Shen Yanlang smiled.
[Go back and do it again while wearing your military training uniform.]
Duan Xu: "..."
Shen Rascal remains the same as always, only less frequently, and his persona remains unshaken.
"Come to think of it, I've never seen you in your military training uniform before."
Shen Yanlang felt a little regretful. If he hadn't gone abroad at that time, he could have met Duan Xu half a month earlier and seen him in his military training uniform.
"I took some photos to remember the occasion, I'll show them to you when we get back," Duan Xu said, touching his slightly burning ears.
Shen Yanlang's eyebrows curved into a smile, "Okay."
The formation included alphas, betas, and omegas, all of whom sat openly watching Shen Yanlang and Duan Xu. When they saw Duan Xu blush, some of them whispered among themselves.
"What are they saying? Why are they blushing?"
"Oh dear, in this situation, we're bound to say something suggestive!"
"Is this supposed to be military training? It's so wild! But I love it!"
"Who would have thought that the school heartthrob, who usually seems so serious, is like this in private?"
"What's the big deal? He's an alpha, after all. No matter how proper he is, how proper can he be in front of his omega?"
"That makes sense!"
The instructors knew about these two people; they came every day, so they couldn't afford not to know.
He was used to the two of them, so he would watch them gossip during his breaks, but he was the honest type and wouldn't joke around with them, he would just watch.
After the ten-minute break, Shen Yanlang returned to the team to continue training, while Duan Xu sat there, glancing up at her boyfriend every now and then, and then looking down at her book.
When it was almost time, Duan Xu would wave to Shen Yanlang and then go to the cafeteria to get his food.

This was the last day of military training, and all the formations were to give a performance. It happened to be Saturday, Duan Xu and his friends came to the platform early to secure the best viewing spots.
There were only four of them. Xue Jingshu was busy preparing to start a company, so only Han Xi came.
"There are quite a lot of people here for the performance today!" Zhou Zhou glanced around and saw that the seats were almost full.
Xiao Xu glanced over as well and said, "With Yan-ge here, there will definitely be a lot of people."
Duan Xu smiled and said, "I heard that there are a few pretty handsome freshmen who are also on the forum."
Han Xi, sitting next to Duan Xu, said calmly upon hearing this, "But they couldn't defeat him."
Every year after the new students enter the school, a new round of campus heartthrob competition is held. Unfortunately, although there are handsome freshmen this year, none of them are as handsome as Shen Yanlang. Shen Yanlang is still the campus heartthrob.
"With Yan-ge's looks, he'd be at the top of the entertainment industry," Zhou Zhou said without exaggeration.
Duan Xu squinted his eyes in delight, thinking to himself: This handsome alpha is my boyfriend, hehe!
At this moment, the people sitting behind gasped softly. They lowered their voices, but they still heard it.
"It's Duan Xu! Ah!"
"Really! My God, I just realized!"
"Wow, his skin is so smooth up close!"
"We're both omegas, why can't we even compare to a man?"
"Maybe it's because we don't have the nourishment of an alpha..."
Duan Xu: "..."
"Pfft..." Zhou Zhou couldn't help but laugh and slapped Duan Xu's thigh.
Han Xi couldn't help but smile, turning to look at Duan Xu, "Your skin is indeed very good."
However, at this moment, the two omegas spoke again.
"Han Xi, the former chairman's wife, has such great skin!"
"Mmm, my love, you aloof beauty!"
Han Xi: "..."
This time, Duan Xu laughed, and even teased, "My love, you aloof beauty~"
Zhou Zhou laughed along, "You two are even, anyway, I can't compare."
"You're the best in my heart," Xiao Xu said earnestly, putting his arm around Zhou Zhou's shoulder.
Zhou Zhou was touched and rewarded Xiao Xu with a kiss, which made Xiao Xu grin like an idiot.
The girls behind her exclaimed, "Ah--this couple is so cute!"
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Xu: "..."
At nine o'clock, the performance officially began. First, the supreme commander went up to give a speech, and then the troops began to enter, with each formation marching past the main stage to the March of the Volunteers.
When it was Shen Yanlang, a burst of screams erupted from the stands.
Duan Xu and the others watched intently, and Duan Xu even took out his phone to take a picture of Shen Yanlang.
After all the formations had entered the field, individual formations performed, one marching in formation and the other performing Military Boxing.
Shen Yanlang's team performed Military Boxing. After the marching team finished, the remaining three teams would perform Military Boxing.
They lined up in order and, at the instructor's command, began practicing Military Boxing.
When one person is fighting, you can't see much momentum, but when so many people line up in formation and perform Military Boxing in unison, coupled with their shouts, the momentum immediately rises.
"Wow! It looks pretty impressive!" Zhou Zhou exclaimed.
Duan Xu quickly snapped a few photos, then found Shen Yanlang's spot, stared at him, and said, "We weren't really affected when we were down there, but seeing this now is truly awe-inspiring."
Han Xi hummed in agreement and took a few pictures as well.
