Today is the monthly rest day for the girls' school.

In order to make it easier for students whose homes are outside Beijing to go home, we have three days off at the beginning of every month.

But more girls in girls' schools do not go home.

Some of them refused to go back because their families opposed their studies, while others had no family at all.

However, they can also take this opportunity to go out and buy some things, or go out for a walk and have some fun with their classmates.

Although it was a holiday, the girls' school did not have the spectacular sight of carriages lined up for two miles in front of the gate of other academies, all coming to pick up children.

The only carriage parked at the door also attracted the attention and curiosity of many students.

"You're here to see the princess, right?"

"Maybe he's here to pick up Chief Lu."

A young man jumped out of the carriage and ran straight to the gatehouse.

"Brother Qinggang!" Ye Xianglei came up and greeted him directly.

When Ye Qinggang heard this, he looked up and jumped up.

"Xiang Lei! You still remember to come back?

"You've been sailing to the West for several years, right?

"If you hadn't remembered to send a message home, your parents would have been so worried..."

"Actually, it's been three years!" Ye Xianglei quickly interrupted Ye Qinggang and said, "I'm here to look for Qingtian. Is she in there?"

"No rules!" Ye Qinggang knocked Ye Xianglei on the head. "Can you call me Sunny? You should call me Princess!"

"The princess even calls me uncle!" Ye Xianglei covered his head and shouted, causing the students coming in and out to look at him curiously.

"Today is a holiday for students, and you come to cause trouble.

"Don't stay here anymore, go through this alley and go around to the back to find someone!"

Seeing Ye Xianglei walking in quickly, Ye Qinggang felt more and more that something was wrong. He couldn't help but shout after him, "You're not going home yet and you're looking for the princess first, are you?"

Ye Xianglei did not answer, but his pace instantly quickened.

"This heartless brat!" Ye Qinggang muttered and hurried back to the lobby.

Not long after the girls' school was established, Mrs. Lu's mother passed away.

In order to take care of Ye Qinggang's family, Qingtian directly asked the couple to come to the girls' school to work as doormen.

Ye Qinggang was in charge of guarding the gate, while Mrs. Lu was in charge of looking after the students' accommodation and also arranged two rooms in the back for a family of six.

Now both of their sons have been sent to study in academy. The couple provides them with food and accommodation and also pays them a monthly stipend. They live a very comfortable life.

During the two years when the couple were separated, Ye Qinggang not only learned how to cook, but also learned how to take care of his parents and children.

Now the family is living better and better, and the couple no longer quarrels.

Therefore, Ye Qinggang worked harder and more responsibly, determined not to let Qingtian down.

Ye Xianglei had been to the girls' school before. Although the school had expanded in size compared to before, he still found Qingtian's yard smoothly.

"Sunny day!" Ye Xianglei shouted before he even ran to the door.

Fan Yizhou in the yard heard the noise and came out to check the situation.

Although it had been a few years, Fan Yizhou still recognized Ye Xianglei, whom he had met before, and let him into the courtyard.

After entering, seeing the guards filling the courtyard, Ye Xianglei didn't dare to act rashly. He bowed to Fan Yizhou and said, "Sir Fan, please help pass the message."

But Qingtian, who was in the study on the second floor, had already heard the noise outside and opened the window to look down.

"Uncle?" Qingtian's eyes lit up the moment he saw Ye Xianglei. "When did you come back?"

When Ye Xianglei saw Qingtian again after three years, he found that she had grown into a big girl.

"I just got off the ship at Tianjin Port the day before yesterday, and I came straight to see you without even going home.

"How is it, is your uncle treating you well?"

Ye Xianglei looked at the sunny day with a smile.

Before Qingtian could say anything, another window next to her was pushed open from the inside, and Qin Hexuan appeared next to Qingtian.

"Now that you've returned from the West, shouldn't you go to Linglong Pavilion and report the news first?"

Looking at Qin Hexuan who seemed to have grown taller, Ye Xianglei curled his lips in his heart.

But in the final analysis, he was able to go to the West thanks to the fleet organized by Qin Hexuan.

So strictly speaking, Qin Hexuan should be considered his boss.

So there is nothing wrong with people saying this.

Ye Xianglei had no choice but to reply politely, "Young Master Qin, Master told us to go home first and report to our families that we are safe, and then come back to the store in five days."

"Then why don't you listen to your master?" Qin Hexuan didn't like others bothering Qingtian.

Qingtian has too many things to take care of now, and there is very little time left for the two of them to spend time together.

How could he bear to let it be divided up by others?

But Qingtian obviously knows Ye Xianglei better than Qin Hexuan.

With a smile on her face, she looked down at Ye Xianglei and said, "Alright, tell me the truth. What bad things did you do that made you come to me first without even being able to go home?"

Ye Xianglei downstairs immediately laughed guiltily.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Qingtian was very curious.

Ye Xianglei followed the fleet to the Western Ocean and stayed there for more than three years.

Although he would send a message back to report his safety via the Qin Mansion's fleet, the family was still far away across the ocean, and the news they received was basically more than half a year ago.

Ye Juan'er and Liu Quan were looking forward to his return.

Now that he is back in good health, what else could make him afraid to go home?
