With You (2)

Huo Shaoheng looked up and was surprised to see that it was his childhood friend, Xue Jingjiang. He had not seen him since joining the military.

Xue Jingjiang had thick eyebrows and large eyes. He was also very tall, his height as high has Huo Shaoheng's. Next to him was a tall, shapely lady.

Xue Jingjiang rushed over and thumped Huo Shaoheng enthusiastically on the shoulder, overcome with nostalgia. "All these years, and you never once came home! I knew you had joined the military, but man! You were gone for so long that I was beginning to think you'd been exiled!"

Huo Shaoheng smiled as he looked Xue Jingjiang over. "Boots, it's been years since I've last seen you, but you're just as handsome and stylish as I remember."

Xue Jingjiang's surname was Xue, which sounded like the Chinese word for "shoes". Therefore, his childhood playmates had always called him "Boots."
