Chapter 1592: What a Coincidence
"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!"
Qin Jian’s mouth curved into a slight smile and he returned the salute with a casual lift of his hand. Then he gently patted the boy on the shoulder, "Well done! I waited a month without any news from you, and here you are, sneaking off to join the army."
Lin Sheng excitedly rubbed his hands together and said, "Commander, actually, it was Zhao Dong, Captain Zhao, who found me! He asked me if I still wanted to join the army!"
"What’s the matter? Got cold feet after a month?" Qin Jian asked.
"No, no!" Lin Sheng replied grinning, "Actually, I was about to come to find you, but then a small trouble happened. That’s why I was delayed."
"Is it resolved now?" Qin Jian asked.
