「The next day.」
The children rode their beloved electric bikes to school.
As soon as they arrived, they drew a great deal of attention, making countless others green with envy. Second Treasure's Weibo account had many followers, so everyone knew the quadruplets had bought electric bikes.
It was common for sophomores and juniors to ride bikes to school. The average price was around 2,000 yuan, while families that were slightly better off might spend 4,000 to 5,000. Nicer models could cost around 10,000 yuan, but those were a rarity.
How to put it?
When it came to wealth, there were hardly any fathers at the school richer than Lin Feng.
In terms of academic performance, which sophomore could possibly compare to the quadruplets?
And as for looks, was a comparison even necessary?
They were flawless from every angle. A single, unedited photo of them could put a picture Photoshopped for two hours to shame.
Honestly, it was one thing for them to be from such a wealthy family, but they were also all incredibly good-looking, and to top it all off, they even had amazing grades. Others simply felt a sense of complete inferiority in their presence.
The four of them parked their bikes, took out their best anti-theft locks, and secured their vehicles.
Little Treasure woke up not long after they had left for school.
The first thing she did was ask Lin Feng, "Daddy, when is my little bike coming?"
Lin Feng handed Little Treasure a spoonful of her breakfast. "It's still morning. You have to wait a little while, okay?"
Little Treasure was distracted all morning, her mind fixated on her little bike.
Finally, the delivery arrived at their door.
After Lin Feng signed for the package, Little Treasure urged him to unbox it. The packaging was large, exactly matching the picture online. Lin Feng inspected the exterior and, finding no damage or scratches, began to assemble it according to the instruction manual.
Little Treasure squatted nearby, her eyes wide with curiosity as she watched. Every now and then, she would even help by passing a part to Lin Feng.
"Ta-da! It's all done! Watch Daddy test it out first, don't be impatient!"
Lin Feng operated it for a moment. The remote control was in good condition and very responsive. The bike's battery was also fully charged. The seller claimed it could hold a charge for over three days, but whether that was true remained to be seen.
Little Treasure had grown impatient from waiting and kept asking, "Daddy, is it ready? Can I play now? Is it, Daddy?"
"It's ready. You can get on and give it a try now."
After climbing on, Little Treasure noticed the two training wheels and frowned. "This is different from what my big brothers and sisters have."
Lin Feng explained, "Your brothers' and sisters' bikes are the adult version. Yours is the kids' version, so there are some differences."
Little Treasure shook her head. "Daddy, I don't want these!"
Lin Feng didn't feel safe without them, and only after a great deal of persuasion did Little Treasure reluctantly accept. This child is really something else. My mouth is completely dry from trying to convince her.
Lin Feng showed Little Treasure how to operate it. "Twist this handle to make the bike go, and this is the brake. Use it when you want to stop."
After listening just once, Little Treasure said impatiently, "I know, Daddy! I can do it myself!"
Lin Feng wasn't worried. The bike had three gear settings, and the switch was hidden where Little Treasure wouldn't find it.
VROOM... VROOM... VROOM...
Once she got the hang of it, Little Treasure was no longer happy. "Daddy, this is too slow! It's really, really slow..."
"Alright, let Daddy see if he can adjust the speed."
Lin Feng pretended to fiddle with it for a moment. "Okay, try it now."
The second gear was indeed much faster. "Daddy, can it go even faster?" she asked.
"That feature isn't available. This is as fast as it goes."
Little Treasure didn't press the issue. She rode her bike all around the yard while Lin Feng watched from the side.
She rode for several hours. By the time it grew dark and the quadruplets had returned home, she was still riding.
Little Treasure showed off proudly. "This is the little bike Daddy bought for me! From now on, I can ride with my big brothers and sisters!"
The quadruplets immediately showered her with over-the-top compliments, the praise flowing effortlessly.
Lin Feng sighed. Where does Little Treasure get this mysterious confidence from? Isn't it because her older siblings spoil her rotten?
At the dinner table, Little Treasure made a solemn announcement. "Tomorrow, I'm going to school with my brothers and sisters!"
The quadruplets didn't take her seriously at all. "Are you going to ride that bike of yours?"
Little Treasure nodded. "That's right! I'm going to escort my big brothers and sisters to school."
Second Treasure asked with a smile, "Can you even wake up in time, you little sleepyhead?"
Little Treasure never hid her laziness; in fact, she embraced it. With her hands on her hips, she declared, "I can! I definitely can!"
Third Treasure said with a gentle smile, "Then we'll wait for you to escort us tomorrow, okay?"
Big Treasure also said with a smile, "Don't be late!"
Fourth Treasure propped his chin on his hands and joined in the teasing, "If you wake up late, we won't wait for you."
Little Treasure puffed out her chest and slapped it soundly. "I will definitely wake up tomorrow! You can count on me!"
Her antics made everyone burst out laughing.
Then, Little Treasure turned to Lin Feng and commanded with a very serious expression, "Daddy, you have to wake me up tomorrow!"
"Okay, no problem. But whether you actually get up is on you."
"Okay!"
Later, Little Treasure was playing with her building blocks. In the past, this was usually the time when either Zhang Yuxi or Lin Feng would be telling stories to the quadruplets. Little Treasure, however, had no interest in books at all. She only liked to play with all kinds of toys and games.
"Little Treasure, it's time for bed. Don't you have to take your brothers and sisters to school tomorrow?"
Little Treasure paused, as if she had just remembered her important mission. She obediently followed Lin Feng to wash her face and feet, then climbed into bed.
Zhang Yuxi was busy in the study, and it was unclear when she would finally get to sleep. If all went according to plan, she would be promoted to principal by the time Little Treasure started kindergarten. As the vice-principal, she was incredibly busy with a mountain of work; it was far from an easy job.
"I want to see Mommy!"
"Mommy's working. Let's go to sleep first."
"No! I want to see Mommy right now!"
"Is something the matter?"
Little Treasure nodded. "I have something to tell Mommy."
Lin Feng had no choice but to take Little Treasure to the study.
Zhang Yuxi had been teaching at this school for nearly twenty years and had a deep emotional attachment to it. When she was a teacher, she wanted to guide her students well. Now, on the cusp of becoming the principal, she wanted to make the entire school thrive. She wanted to implement major reforms, and the current principal supported her, offering to help as much as he could while he was still around. Her ultimate goal was to make the school one of the top three in Yangcheng. If possible, she hoped to lead it to become number one in Yangcheng during her tenure.
These ambitions had been weighing on her recently; things were not as simple as she had imagined. Just as she was wrestling with these thoughts, she saw Lin Feng arrive with Little Treasure, and her frown softened into a smile.
"Why are you two still awake? I've still got a while to go here!"
Lin Feng said, "Little Treasure insisted on seeing you. She said she has something to tell you."
Zhang Yuxi took Little Treasure from Lin Feng's arms. "Little Treasure, what do you want to tell Mommy?"
Little Treasure hugged Zhang Yuxi, planted a big smooch on her cheek, and said softly, "Mommy, you've worked hard. Goodnight, Mommy!"
Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng were both stunned, but more than that, they were deeply moved.
Lin Feng smiled. "I can promise you I didn't teach her to say that!"
That touched Zhang Yuxi even more. "Wow, Mommy's not tired at all! Goodnight to you too, my little darling. Go back to sleep early now, you have to escort your brothers and sisters tomorrow."
Little Treasure said obediently, "You should sleep early too, Mommy!"
This child, though mostly mischievous, certainly had her heartwarming moments.
Lin Feng picked up Little Treasure. "Alright, let's go back to sleep. Goodnight, honey!"
Zhang Yuxi smiled faintly, blowing him a kiss. "Goodnight, honey!"
Once her husband and daughter had left, Zhang Yuxi looked down at her work, suddenly feeling neither tired nor stressed.
Come on, Zhang Yuxi! You have a happy home, a loving husband, and five adorable children! They are all your pillars of support. You can do this!
