The couple chatted while they bustled about in the kitchen.

Before long, Lin Jie and the others returned.

Fourth Treasure scampered over, exclaiming excitedly.

"Daddy, Mommy, there are little fish, little fish!"

Second Treasure gestured. "This big... so many, so many fish."

Eldest Treasure gestured too. "Super big!"

Then he ran over to tell Third Treasure.

Lin Jie and his group had bought not only a large fish but also four or five tiny live fish. These tiny fish weren't for making soup for the babies; they were just for them to look at. They got a washbasin, filled it with water, and put the tiny fish inside. The fish were very small, not even as long as an adult's palm, and very lively.

The babies crowded around the basin. Fourth Treasure and Second Treasure, without a word between them, immediately started trying to catch the fish. A little fish would flick its tail and dart away.

Fourth Treasure giggled.

Eldest Treasure stretched out both hands to try and catch one.

Third Treasure joined in too, and they all had the time of their lives. Before long, every one of the babies was soaked.

Zhang Yuxi changed their clothes and moved the basin to the balcony.

"After we've eaten, we can play again!"

The babies watched the tiny fish with reluctance.

The adults were having green Sichuan pepper fish, while the babies had sea bass. Deboning the fish was a task left to Lin Feng. This was the babies' first time eating sea bass.

Lin Feng looked at the plump sea bass, unsure how to begin. I can't let the babies miss out on fish forever just because I don't know how to debone it, can I?

A moment later, Lin Feng activated his Elementary Handicraft skill. He decided it was worth a try, whether it seemed useful or not. Sea bass was very suitable for the babies, as it had few bones and the meat was delicious.

And then... Lin Feng cleanly removed the entire fish skeleton, along with all the tiny bones.

"Honey, you're so amazing! How did you do that?"

Zhang Yuxi and the others watched, dumbfounded.

Lin Feng hadn't expected to succeed either. So this skill can be used this way, too.

Still, he was worried about leftover bones, so when he fed them, he shone a flashlight on each piece of fish, checking it carefully. Lin Feng had bought two sea basses, and the babies ate every last bite.

Eldest Treasure and Fourth Treasure were still looking on, waiting for more. When they learned there was no more, the two were incredibly disappointed. This was especially true for Fourth Treasure, the designated foodie of the group, who looked utterly crestfallen and heartbroken.

"Tomorrow we'll buy an extra one, so our Fourth Treasure can eat their fill, how does that sound?"

Fourth Treasure clapped his hands. "Okay, okay!"

After feeding the babies the fish, the adults let them eat the rest of their meal on their own. When Lin Feng returned to the table, he saw they hadn't started on the green Sichuan pepper fish yet. "Go ahead and eat! You don't have to wait for me."

Lin Jie smiled. "You worked so hard. We couldn't possibly start without you."

Lin Feng laughed. "It was nothing."

Fortunately, it was summer, so the dish was still piping hot.

"Delicious! Brother, you're an amazing cook."

"Big Brother, this is even better than what I've had in restaurants."

"Exactly! The seasoning is just right. Any stronger and it would be too much for me."

Zhang Yuxi had tasted Lin Feng's green Sichuan pepper fish before, and it was indeed delicious.

"Honey, this is so good. Should we add it to the fish hotpot menu?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment. "That's not a bad idea. I'll discuss it with Jia Jun and An Min later."

This skill seemed to have a particular affinity for cooking fish. It never produced a dish that was anything less than delicious.

「...」

The daily routine for the next while was simple. After breakfast, Lin Feng would take the babies to the daycare to play. He would come home around noon to make lunch. After eating, he would put the babies down for their nap. When they woke up, it was back to the daycare to play.

Just like that, ten days flew by.

Lin Jie and the other two, who had initially refused sunscreen, now sheepishly asked Zhang Yuxi to recommend some sunscreen suitable for students. During the first few days of training, they hadn't even noticed they were getting tanned. By the time they realized it, they were already two shades darker. Two shades! Their skin was delicate and fair. How long would it take to get their original complexion back now that they were tanned?

"Here you go."

They stared at the sunscreen she offered, astounded.

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I actually got this ready for you a while ago. Since you didn't want it then, I just held onto it."

And just like that, the half-month military training was over, and it was time for classes to begin. The ones who had used sunscreen hadn't gotten too dark, and their skin would recover after a little care.

With the end of military training, the weather in Jingcheng also cooled down, so the air conditioning was only turned on during hotter moments. And so, life passed peacefully.

At the dinner table, Lin Jie and the others would chat about the teachers and students at their university. Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng would listen with keen interest, like proud parents. Fourth Treasure and Second Treasure loved listening to the adults' conversations and would occasionally interject with a relentless stream of questions, turning into little "whys" incarnate.

Today was Saturday, so everyone planned to go for a stroll around Jingcheng.

"Let's go to Peking University," Lin Feng suggested. "I haven't had a chance to see the campus yet."

Hearing his suggestion, they changed their plan and decided to head to Peking University first.

As expected of a renowned institution with such a profound cultural heritage, Lin Feng really liked the atmosphere.

"Ms. Zhang?"

Two female students walking arm in arm came over to greet Zhang Yuxi.

Zhang Yuxi smiled and nodded. "Hello."

The two students glanced at the babies in the stroller and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, the babies are so cute! Ms. Zhang, are they all yours?"

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Yes, they are."

They looked completely shocked. Quadruplets! That's incredible!

Their gazes then shifted to Lin Feng, standing beside Zhang Yuxi. It was obvious he was her husband—young, handsome, and tall, with an upright posture that radiated confidence.

"Ms. Zhang, we have to get going. We'll see you later!"

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Alright. Goodbye."

In front of outsiders, Zhang Yuxi was like a flower on a high cliff—beautiful, yet unattainable. She radiated an aura of elegant inaccessibility.

From her very first appearance on campus, Zhang Yuxi became the talk of Peking University. Her beauty was truly stunning, with features that were exquisitely perfect. Many students made inquiries about her in private. She was a top student from a prestigious foreign university, had returned from studying abroad, was already married, and was even a mother. There was no telling how many budding crushes among the male student body were squashed by this information.

Along their walk, they ran into some of Lin Jie's classmates. They also met one of Zhang Yuxi's faculty advisors and some students from her class.

Soon, the news that Zhang Yuxi had quadruplets spread throughout the entire university. Someone even posted photos of the babies and the couple on the school's online forum.

"The way Ms. Zhang looks at her husband is so full of love!"

"What a pity Ms. Zhang is married... I'm so disappointed..."

"Ms. Zhang and her husband are such a perfect match!"

"I'm so jealous!"

"Quadruplets! As expected of Ms. Zhang, she's amazing!"
