「Half an hour later.」

A group of people arrived at Yuhuali. Taking the elevator, they went straight to the eighth floor. After exiting the elevator, they just had to turn right and walk straight to their destination. One could say the location was extremely easy to find.

Lin Feng had Zhang Yuxi and the babies wait outside, as it was too dusty inside. When Lin Feng entered, he found Jiang Anmin was also there.

"Lin Feng, you're here!"

"Have a look at the progress… it should be finished by January."

Lin Feng didn't know anything about renovations, so he just took a quick look around. "I'll leave the renovation work to you guys. Just get it done."

For the past month, they had been undertaking major works, so all the renovating happened after working hours. After all, the constant banging could be heard several floors away. Now they could work during the day, so progress was much faster.

After a few pleasantries, Jiang Anmin had to leave to look after the main store, which got busy during mealtimes. The renovation work was almost entirely dependent on Lin Jiajun, who was the most knowledgeable among them in this area.

"Alright, you get back to work. I'll take the kids for a stroll."

Lin Jiajun called out to Lin Feng, "Will you be back for my baby's full-month celebration?"

Lin Feng took out his phone to check the calendar. "We'll see. Even if I can't make it, my gift certainly will."

Lin Jiajun laughed. "No need for any gifts. If you're too busy, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal."

Lin Feng smiled.

Once the babies learned to walk, they refused to stay in the stroller for a single minute longer than necessary. Of course, they were perceptive enough to know when to express their displeasure. While Lin Feng was discussing business just now, the babies had sat quietly in their stroller. Now, however, they were scrambling to get out.

The shopping mall was a kaleidoscope of colors and dazzling lights. The couple took them to the mall's children's area.

It was madness.

Apart from the quiet Third Baby, the other three were like huskies let out of their cage.

The Fourth Baby howled. "Daddy, I want to get down, I want to get down!"

The Second Baby, not to be outdone, chimed in, "Daddy, I want to play, play!"

The First Baby quietly began trying to climb out of the stroller.

Lin Feng handed the Third Baby to Zhang Yuxi to look after, then took the child safety harnesses out of his backpack. He tied one end to each of the babies' wrists and the other end to his own. The harnesses were designed to manage multiple children at once.

"You can go play once you have this on," he said, working quickly. "Don't rush, I'll be done in a moment! Stop climbing, you'll fall and start crying your eyes out."

Lin Feng went to a toy store and checked his stroller. Then, he led the three babies, who were as wild as a pack of huskies, as they ran all over the store.

It's a good thing I've undergone the Purification and Marrow Cleansing. Being worn out by them like this would kill a normal person!

The key was that he couldn't just be an emotionless robot. He had to constantly watch them to make sure they didn't randomly touch or grab things, not to mention fighting with other kids over toys. Compared to the well-behaved Third Baby, these three were absolute social butterflies. Lin Feng had no worries about them being bullied by their peers.

Just then, the Second Baby spotted a doll and was absolutely thrilled, turning it over and over in her hands. A little girl about three years old nearby eyed the toy in the Second Baby's hands. Catching her off guard, the girl snatched it away.

The Second Baby scoffed, glared fiercely at the girl who was half a head taller than her, and snatched it back with both hands. The Second Baby had a powerful voice, and she immediately called out to her brothers with a fearsome cry, "She tried to take my toy!"

The Fourth and First Babies, who had been looking at Ultraman and Transformers figures, heard her and came running over with a pitter-patter of feet. Lin Feng had always instilled in them the importance of unity. As boys, it was their duty to protect the Second and Third Babies from being bullied. They couldn't go around bullying other kids, but nobody was allowed to bully them, either.

The Fourth and First Babies were both tall for their age, looking almost like two-year-olds. The First Baby, in particular, was very solidly built and strong.

"Don't you take my sister's toy!" the First Baby shouted angrily.

The Fourth Baby said with a stern face, "If you snatch it again, I'll hit you."

The three-year-old girl was frightened and ran away. After all, the trio's combined aura was not to be underestimated.

Then, the mischievous Fourth Baby said, "This doll's eyes are so big. It's ugly!"

The First Baby added, "The dress is pretty!"

The Second Baby snorted delicately. "Then you guys find me a pretty one."

The Fourth Baby pointed to a different doll. "This one's pretty."

The First Baby hesitated for a moment. "It's pretty."

The Second Baby retorted, "...It doesn't have hair. It's bald..."

The Fourth Baby nodded seriously. "Its eyes aren't big."

The First Baby went silent.

The Second Baby was speechless. "..."

Lin Feng, watching from the side, was laughing his head off internally. He had seen the whole thing unfold. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't interfere with his children's interactions. He preferred to let them socialize with other kids in their own way. That was how a parent could better understand their children.

So, the Second Baby looked at the doll in her hands with bewilderment, hesitating for a moment. Finally, she hugged it tightly, huffed, and pouted her rosy lips. "Well, I think it's pretty! It's beautiful!" she said with an air of defiance. "Your Ultraman and Transformers are the ones that aren't good-looking. They don't even have eyes!"

As she spoke, the First Baby came running over, holding a very cool-looking blue Transformer.

The Second Baby immediately ate her words. "Wow, that one is really pretty!"

The First Baby ran over proudly, showing it to Lin Feng. "Daddy, Daddy, I want this one! This one is pretty!"

Lin Feng nodded. "Hmm, it's very nice. If you like it, we'll buy it. But remember, you can each only buy two toys!"

Just then, the Fourth Baby walked up, holding three different Ultraman figures. Lin Feng's own memory of Ultraman was stuck on the originals, like Jack, Ace, and Leo. Since having kids, he had come to recognize newer ones like Ultraman Z and Ultraman Orb.

"Daddy," the Fourth Baby asked pitifully, "can we buy all three? Please?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "You can only have two. We already have lots of toys at home."

A child's interest in a toy was often fleeting. Their toys at home were already piled as high as a mountain. It was exhausting enough having to wash and disinfect them every few days.

The Fourth Baby let out a quiet "Oh." After a moment of internal struggle, he placed just one toy in the shopping cart.

When they reached the next section, they went wild all over again. They scrambled to pull Lin Feng along, eager to share their joy with their daddy. The Second Baby, who never had a particular preference for toys before, had now developed a special fondness for beautiful dolls.

"Daddy, look at this Barbie, so cute... a little baby..."

"Daddy, and this Barbie, so pretty... this one too..."

The shelves opposite them were filled with dinosaurs. The First and Fourth Babies pulled Lin Feng away from the doll aisle.

"Daddy, look at this! A roaring Tyrannosaurus..."

"Daddy, I want to see the one on top! Up, up!"

Holding a Barbie doll in a long pink dress, the Second Baby asked, "Daddy, isn't she pretty?"

Lin Feng picked up the First Baby so he could see the dinosaur on the top shelf, then took the Fourth Baby's Tyrannosaurus for a look, all while glancing at the Second Baby's Barbie. "Very pretty," he said with utmost seriousness. "The Second Baby has great taste."

It took some real skill to handle three energetic children at once; otherwise, it would be impossible to keep up.

This toy store was huge. As they wandered on, they reached another section filled with toy guns, including a massive AK. All three children stood before it, stunned, with stars twinkling in their eyes.

"Wow, what a big gun-gun!"

"So pretty... Biu-ti-ful!"

"Daddy, take it down! We want to see, we want to see!"

Lin Feng took the box down, and the three kids danced around it with joy. The toys in this store were from major brands, some officially licensed and mostly authentic. Naturally, the prices were high. This AK, for instance, cost 788. It seemed expensive, but it was actually cheaper than the Second Baby's doll. That little doll was only about fifty centimeters tall, whereas the dolls they'd bought before were only one or two hundred. Still, he had to admit, the toy gun was really cool. Even Lin Feng was tempted to buy it for himself to play with.

"Daddy likes this one too," he said, his voice sounding pitiful. "Daddy can also buy two toys to take home, right? Daddy doesn't have any toys at all!"

All three babies wanted the gun, but Lin Feng's words stopped them before they could even speak.

The Fourth Baby touched the box. "Daddy, can you let me play with it for a while then?"

"Of course! After Daddy plays with it, you can all play with it!"

What was there to hesitate about? The three babies wholeheartedly approved of Lin Feng buying a toy for himself.

Having bought himself a toy, Lin Feng felt several years younger.

Next up was a section with racetrack sets and cars based on an anime, similar to the mini 4WD races. A crowd of children had already gathered to watch. To play on the track, you needed to have one of the special cars.

The three babies watched eagerly as the older kids played. They were too short to see properly and were getting anxious. Lin Feng rearranged the shopping cart and let them sit inside it to get a better view.

As the cars sped down the track, the babies shrieked with excitement.

"Wow, so cool, so cool!"

"Awesome! They're so fast!"

"The cars are so pretty!"

Lin Feng watched from the side, a wave of nostalgia washing over him. Toys these days are so interesting. There wasn't much to play with back in my day.
