Xia Lan was stunned.

When will you be back?

"I'll be back as soon as I've settled things."

Qin Yu said seriously that he had originally planned to come back with Xia Lan, but things here hadn't been arranged yet, so he couldn't leave for the time being.

We're waiting for you to come back!

Xia Lan's words reached Qin Yu's ears, and Qin Yu responded with a soft "hmm".

"Send those two little rascals to school! So they won't bother you anymore."

Qin Yu explained over the phone.

Xia Lan chuckled softly.

"I'll go ask the nearby schools tomorrow."

"good……"

Just as Qin Yu responded, he heard a voice calling from behind him.

"The third brother called me, I'm going to see what's going on..."

Qin Yu's voice turned somber, clearly displeased that his call with Xia Lan had been interrupted.

"good."

I'll call you again tonight.

Qin Yu said reluctantly, and then hung up the phone.

Xia Lan gently put the microphone back.

After packing their things, Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin returned hand in hand, with soldiers behind them carrying hands full of vegetables.

"There are so many rare and unusual things these days..."

Xiao Yuqin was pleased by Qin Jun's coaxing, and she still had a smile on her face when she returned.

"Lanlan, I have something to tell you..."

Xiao Yuqin told Xia Lan about the changes in the capital, and Qin Jun looked at her with a doting expression.

Xia Lan felt like she had suddenly been stuffed full of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Oh, by the way, I ran into Old Du on the way back. I asked him to come over for dinner later!"

Xiao Yuqin smiled at Xia Lan.

Is he alright?

Xia Lan asked with a smile.

"Well..."

Xiao Yuqin was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"When he arrives, you can ask him!"

After Xiao Yuqin finished speaking, she got up and went to the kitchen. Xia Lan looked at Qin Jun.
