The dawn slowly unfurled.
Li Qiao got up early and after tidying up, he and Qin Jin arrived at the entrance of the family courtyard.
After waiting for about five minutes, Uncle and nephew Xue Lingqing appeared in their line of sight.
Li Qiao's smile widened as he greeted them first, "Good morning, Professor Xue, good morning, Xue."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Both men responded with smiles as well.
Xue Sufen's gaze swept over them. Li Qiao and Qin Jin were dressed in matching red and black jackets, with uniform black sports pants and white sneakers. The latter was carrying a bulging backpack. "Why are you two dressed like siblings?"
Li Qiao's smile faded as he corrected her, "It's couple outfits."
Xue Sufen's mouth twitched, "Couple outfits? Were all the students in high school couples because they wore uniforms? Is this outfit exclusive to you two?"
"I'm not going to argue with you," Li Qiao said as he walked toward the minibus station.
Qin Jin followed after him.
