After returning home, the children had apparently forgotten all about the matter and were happily playing in the living room.

Before bed, Zhang Yuxi was applying her skincare at the vanity. "If they don't learn now," she began, "it'll be even more tiring for them when they're older. For children like our second and third, this age is perfect since their bodies are more flexible.

"But, it's fine if they don't want to learn!

"Even though it's important to cultivate hobbies from a young age, many college graduates nowadays end up in jobs completely unrelated to their majors.

"I used to believe that being a dancer was my only path in life.

"It was only later that I discovered I enjoy teaching more!"

Lin Feng grunted in agreement. He knew that feeling all too well. He never imagined he'd end up as a stay-at-home dad! So, what can you do? Just let things be.

"Honey, the kids' birthday is in a week. What's the plan?" Zhang Yuxi asked.

"I haven't thought of anything yet!"

"Me neither. I can't think of any good ideas."

Now that the family was well-off, the children had fun and ate delicious treats every day. For the moment, they really couldn't think of a special way to celebrate their birthday. After this birthday, the little ones would be four years old. Time really flew.

In the blink of an eye, only two days remained until the quadruplets' fourth birthday, and the couple still hadn't decided how to celebrate. However, Zhang Yuxi got an idea when she was talking to Liu Qing.

"Honey, honey!" Zhang Yuxi dashed over. "I have something to tell you."

Lin Feng wrapped a long arm around her. "What is it?"

Zhang Yuxi brought up an idea. "You know how for some classmates' birthdays, their parents bring a cake to class to share with everyone?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Oh, right." The teacher would even post a video on WeChat, and all the other parents would send their congratulations. Judging by the quadruplets' expressions back then, they seemed pretty excited about it. With that thought, Lin Feng instantly guessed what Zhang Yuxi was getting at.

His mind shifted gears. "Are you suggesting we invite their classmates over to celebrate?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Yes! The more the merrier!"

But Lin Feng was hesitant. "The parents will definitely come too. With so many people, you'll inevitably have to host them. Can you handle that?"

Despite Zhang Yuxi's commanding presence on the lecture stage, she actually had mild social anxiety and disliked mingling. To her, it was a huge hassle. People like An Lan and Han Wen had been the ones to approach her first, and she had been willing to accept their friendship. But she was resistant to the idea of actively trying to ingratiate herself with others to make friends. This stemmed from her childhood; she had always been the so-called 'perfect child' that other parents used as a benchmark, and other kids never really liked being her friend. Even when she took the initiative, they wouldn't give her the time of day. As a result, Zhang Yuxi gradually lost interest in making friends. As she grew more successful and attractive, her aura became more powerful, and she slowly turned into an ice queen, which made it even harder to find friends.

And the one friend she had ever actively made—Du Qian! Well, that was a long story…

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I can handle it for the kids' birthday party."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Alright, then I'll send a message in the WeChat group later."

Zhang Yuxi pursed her lips, her worry showing. "Do you think… what if none of the kids show up? Wouldn't that be awkward?" If that happened, the quadruplets would be so heartbroken.

Lin Feng was speechless for a moment, then he hesitated. "From what I've seen, the quadruplets have plenty of friends in their class…" He paused before adding, "How about this? Let's have the quadruplets call and invite everyone themselves. It's unlikely anyone would turn them down that way, right?"

Zhang Yuxi clapped her hands. "That's a great idea!"

In the afternoon, Lin Feng had the quadruplets sit in a row. "Your birthday is the day after tomorrow. Should we invite your classmates over to celebrate with you?"

The quadruplets exchanged glances, then threw their hands in the air and cheered, "Yay!"

Lin Feng continued, "But you'll have to make the invitation calls yourselves!"

The second child quickly replied, "No problem!"

The fourth child asked the second, "But we don't know their phone numbers!"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Just tell us who you want to call, and we'll get you their numbers!"

"You all discuss it first," Lin Feng said as he went to the kitchen. "I'm going to slice up some watermelon!"

Once they finished the watermelon, the children started making their calls.

Lin Feng specifically reminded them, "The party is on the afternoon of the 8th, got it? If your friends aren't home, you can tell their moms or dads to pass on the message for you."

The children nodded. Their first call was to Tian Tian, who happily agreed to come. Next, they called all their other good friends. There were about thirty students in their class, and the quadruplets knew more than half of them. For them, there were no 'best' friends; everyone was a good friend.

Zhang Yuxi stood by, taking notes to prevent them from calling someone twice and to keep track of who they still needed to contact. Meanwhile, Lin Feng directly contacted a party planning company and scheduled for someone to come over in half an hour.

Just as the quadruplets finished their invitation calls, the party planner arrived.

The planner came in with a smile. "Here's our portfolio for at-home birthday parties. We have all kinds of themes!"

Lin Feng beckoned to the children. "You guys pick. Tell him whatever you like."

Lin Feng believed this was something the quadruplets could handle on their own, so there was no need for him to intervene. He wanted them to try communicating their needs directly with the professional. It worked out well!

The eldest child asked to add Transformers elements. The second wanted Barbie dolls, while the fourth wanted Ultraman. The third wanted to hang lots of shiny things and to have balloons filled with glitter.

After some discussion with the children, the planner finalized a plan. In the end, they decided he would come on the morning of the 8th to set everything up for the birthday party before noon.
