My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

Chapter 173: Tying Pigtails for My Daughter


「The next day.」

Lin Feng discovered that they had already washed the dishes and utensils and put them away in the cabinet. After preparing breakfast, he asked Da Bai to wake Zhang Yuxi. Looking at the weather, he put a load of clothes into the washing machine.

Da Bai went upstairs and squatted by the bed, nudging Zhang Yuxi with his head and tugging at her pillow. He didn't bark, afraid of waking the babies.

Realizing she had gained some weight, Zhang Yuxi had decided to go for a run in the mornings. The home gym had all sorts of equipment, but it lacked the fresh morning air. She had been keeping it up for three days since the holiday began.

"Honey, good morning!" After washing up, Zhang Yuxi came downstairs fully dressed in her running gear. "I'll go for a run with Da Bai. I'll be back in half an hour." In that time, the babies would probably be awake too.

By the time Zhang Yuxi returned, Lin Feng was helping the babies with their morning potty time. Every morning, the couple would face each other, chatting while they helped the babies do their business.

Third Treasure was always the last one to finish anything. Zhang Yuxi had already taken the other babies downstairs, but Lin Feng was still waiting. "Third Treasure, hurry up! You're over five minutes slower than yesterday… Do you need Daddy to nag you before you'll even start to move?"

She was just like a candlewick, only shining brighter after a nudge.

Third Treasure yawned, her expression turning solemn and serious as she scrunched up her little face. Lin Feng knew she was about to get serious.

The babies could now eat completely on their own. However, to ensure they ate their fill, Lin Feng would always start by feeding them the first half of their meal, letting them eat the rest by themselves.

"Should we call Lin Jie and the others to eat?" Zhang Yuxi asked.

"No need. They were up late playing last night, so let them sleep in."

It was almost noon when Lin Jie and his friends finally got up.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "The food is warming in the pot."

This made them feel quite embarrassed.

Lin Feng made some toast and also followed a recipe for some baby snacks: tiny, milky-flavored steamed buns that were the perfect size for a single bite and melted in your mouth. He gave some to Zhang Yuxi and the babies first to tide them over until lunch. He started cooking closer to one o'clock, and they ate at around half past one.

"We're taking the babies out for a spring outing today. Do you guys want to come?"

"Bro, we were thinking of going to the library," Lin Jie replied.

"Alright. Give me a call if you won't be back for dinner."

"Sure."

After lunch, Lin Jie and his two friends did the dishes. While they went out, Lin Feng put the babies down for their naps.

Zhang Yuxi felt a pang of unease. "Honey, I can take care of the babies. You can go out and have fun with them."

I've almost forgotten that he's not much older than they are. He must love going out and having fun too. The children and our family have tied him down. I've been so selfish.

"Go to the library to read? That sounds so boring. Spending time with our little treasures is much more fun." Lin Feng pondered for a moment before asking, "Honey, should we try tying little pigtails for Second Treasure and Third Treasure?"

Zhang Yuxi was speechless. "..."

"Will it hurt?" Lin Feng muttered to himself.

Zhang Yuxi hesitated before asking, "Honey?"

"Hmm? What's up?"

She asked cautiously, "Spending all day taking care of the babies… don't you ever feel resentful?"

Lin Feng understood immediately. She's overthinking things again.

"How could I? I love taking care of the babies. There's nothing to be resentful about!" Lin Feng hugged her. "Come on, let's look up some cute hairstyles for our little girls."

The weather was getting warmer, and the two little princesses' hair had grown long. It was time to get creative and style their hair to be neat and pretty.

"How about this one?"

"Simple and practical, but it's a bit ugly…" It was just a small tuft on top of the head, adorned with a little flower.

"Honey, let's start with the simplest one," Zhang Yuxi suggested.

Lin Feng clapped his hands. "Right! Do you have any soft hair ties? The kind that don't pull hair."

"I do, I'll get them for you."

Lin Feng looked them over and was quite pleased. He saved all the little princess hairstyles he found for future reference. Then he called Liu Bo. "Do you have any princess dresses for little girls in the store? Send me some pictures."

A moment later, Liu Bo sent over photos of every princess dress he had.

No wonder so many people want to have daughters. Just look at these adorable princess dresses. The pink ones are just heart-melting!

Lin Feng sent Liu Bo the pictures of the dresses he'd chosen, asking him to set aside two of each for him.

When the babies woke up from their nap, Lin Feng couldn't wait to show off his skills and do his little princesses' hair. Third Treasure was very cooperative, sitting obediently in Lin Feng's lap. He tied a small pigtail on top of her head, decorated with a yellow sunflower clip.

Sensing something different, Third Treasure reached up and touched it.

"Wow, baby, you're so beautiful! You have a little flower in your hair," Lin Feng praised.

Third Treasure flashed a sweet smile.

Next was Second Treasure. Her hair had a bit of a natural curl, so when he was tying it, he accidentally snagged some hair from the side. When Second Treasure moved her head, it pulled again. She didn't cry, but she pouted and touched her hair. "Daddy, ouchie!"

Lin Feng kissed her little hand. "Bear with me, Daddy will be done in a second."

It was tied a little crooked, but that just made it look even cuter. Lin Feng happily showed Zhang Yuxi his handiwork.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuxi certainly couldn't dampen his enthusiasm. "They're beautiful!"

Lin Feng, however, knew the truth. "It's because our daughters are beautiful!"

No matter how he looked at it, Lin Feng was completely satisfied. He decided that from now on, he would style his daughters' hair in different ways every day.

Less than two minutes later, Second Treasure's pigtail came loose. Third Treasure's was still intact.

Lin Feng: "..."

This time, he had some experience. He distracted Second Treasure with a toy while using a small comb to smooth her hair. He tied a firm, sky-high little pigtail. "Perfect!"

When Second Treasure shook her head, she felt something wobbling on top and found it quite amusing. So, she started shaking her head for fun from time to time.

Second and Third Treasure's pigtails caught the attention of Fourth Treasure and Eldest Treasure. Fourth Treasure, in particular, reached out and grabbed one.

"OWW!" Second Treasure let out a yelp of pain and burst into tears. "Daddy, Daddy!"

Lin Feng hurried over. "What's wrong?"

Clutching her head, Second Treasure went over and smacked Fourth Treasure. Fourth Treasure just kept playing, not at all bothered by the pain.

Second Treasure looked pitifully at Lin Feng. "Daddy!"

Lin Feng: "..."

He walked over and lightly tapped Fourth Treasure's hand. "You're not allowed to pull your sister's hair."

Fourth Treasure just giggled.

Following the baby's gaze, Lin Feng was surprised to see the little pigtail on Second Treasure's head wobbling back and forth as she moved.

Hmm, how should I put this? Even I want to play with it.

"You can't touch it!" Lin Feng warned sternly. "And you can't touch your other sister's either!"

It was unclear if Fourth Treasure had taken the warning to heart. Lin Feng watched from the side as Fourth Treasure's hands twitched, itching to play with Second Treasure's pigtail again. However, a fierce glare from Second Treasure made him back off.

Second Treasure was quite the little tomboy, after all.

Fourth Treasure then turned to pull Third Treasure's pigtail. But Third Treasure kept swinging her head, and Fourth Treasure grabbed and grabbed but couldn't catch it…
