Leaving the hotel, Lin Feng walked down the street.

Suddenly, a pungent yet oddly savory aroma wafted over from a distance. He looked closer and saw it was a stinky tofu vendor. Lin Feng remembered that Zhang Yuxi absolutely loved stinky tofu.

He followed the scent and walked up to the stall.

"Sir, two orders of stinky tofu, please!"

"No cilantro!"

"Alrighty!" the vendor responded cheerfully.

He then picked up a skimmer and began to fry the stinky tofu. Lin Feng stood to the side, took out his phone, and sent Zhang Yuxi a message on WeChat.

"Honey, are you still awake?"

"I am. What's up?"

"Don't brush your teeth just yet. I bought some stinky tofu and I'm bringing it back."

"Yay! Yay!"

"Honey, you're the best!"

After sending the message, Zhang Yuxi added a shy emoji. Lin Feng smiled and slipped his phone back into his pocket.

While frying the stinky tofu, the vendor chatted with Lin Feng. "Did you just come from the hotel?"

"Yeah!"

"I heard they were hosting a six-month celebration there today. A woman gave birth to quadruplets, that's incredible."

"It certainly is..."

"I don't suppose you saw her?"

"I did."

"Is she pretty?"

"Of course. How could my wife be anything but beautiful?"

Hearing this, the vendor's eyes widened in disbelief. But seeing Lin Feng's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. The vendor could only chuckle and praise him.

"Wow, bro. That's impressive!"

Lin Feng gave a wry smile. He took out his phone and transferred 20 yuan to the vendor. Then, carrying the stinky tofu, he returned to the parking lot and drove to Cui Lake Villa.

When he arrived at the villa's entrance, the lights in several bedrooms were still on. Lin Jiajun's loud voice drifted from the second floor from time to time, though it was unclear what he was talking about.

Lin Feng sent Zhang Yuxi another message.

"Honey, come on down."

"Let's eat the stinky tofu outside..."

Soon, Zhang Yuxi appeared in her pajamas, her smooth, bare legs looking particularly enticing. The two of them took the stinky tofu to the pavilion in the garden.

"Eat up," Lin Feng said. "No cilantro."

Opening the container, Zhang Yuxi exclaimed in surprise, "There's so much! I don't think I can finish it all!"

"It's fine, I'll eat with you," Lin Feng smiled.

"Honey, did something good happen? You seem so happy," Zhang Yuxi asked curiously.

"Yeah. When I was buying the stinky tofu, the vendor found out we had four babies. He said I was very... impressive..." Lin Feng deliberately emphasized the last word.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi's pretty face instantly blushed.

"Stop it!" she chided. "Why are you so naughty?"

She shot him a playful glare, but Lin Feng just grinned and began to eat the stinky tofu with gusto.

After they finished, Zhang Yuxi nestled into Lin Feng's arms, reluctant to go back inside.

"Let's go back in," Lin Feng said, patting the back of her hand. "You have class tomorrow."

"Wang Lu said she wants to stay for a few days. If I go to class, you'll have to take care of the babies and our guests all by yourself. Can you manage all that?"

Lin Feng laughed. "What's there to take care of? They're adults."

"But still, that doesn't seem right."

"Don't worry about it. Go on back and get some sleep!"

"Honey... I want to stay with you a little longer."

Seeing Zhang Yuxi's shy demeanor, Lin Feng seemed to understand what she wanted. The pavilion was tucked away behind some bushes, completely blocking the view from the villa, so no one inside could see the two of them.

Under the cover of darkness, Lin Feng pulled Zhang Yuxi into his embrace, and they shared a long, intimate moment.

Half an hour later, they finally returned to their room to sleep.

***

「The next day.」

At six in the morning, Lin Feng rode his electric scooter out to buy groceries. He had originally given the scooter to Liu Bo, but Liu Bo had recently bought a van and returned it. Lin Feng didn't refuse, as he still had a certain sentimental attachment to it. Besides, living in Yangcheng, riding an electric scooter was sometimes more convenient than driving, especially during rush hour.

By the time he returned home, it was nearly seven o'clock. Lin Feng carried the groceries into the kitchen and started making breakfast. With so many people in the house, everyone had a big appetite. He cooked a large pot of century egg and lean pork congee, prepared some rice noodle rolls, and had also bought fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Lin Feng dished out all the food and set it on the dining table, where it looked like a small buffet.

"Smells amazing! Honey, why are you up so early?" Zhang Yuxi chided gently as she came down the stairs. "I told you to sleep in! You must have been so tired last night!"

Lin Feng smiled. "It's nothing. Your husband has plenty of stamina!"

Just as they were talking, Zhao Lizhen and Zhang Fuyong also came downstairs.

"Mom, Dad, you're up," Lin Feng greeted them, then turned back to his wife. "Hurry up and eat. It's a half-hour drive to the university from here!"

"I'm done. I'm going to go check on the babies," Zhang Yuxi said, running up the stairs.

Lin Feng followed close behind.

The babies were all sleeping soundly, likely exhausted from the previous day. Even the eldest and second eldest were sleeping particularly deeply. The couple chatted as they changed the babies' diapers.

"Honey, I saw the electric scooter downstairs. Didn't you give that to Liu Bo?"

"He bought a van, so he gave it back."

"Oh... When I came downstairs earlier, I ran into your third uncle and his family. It looked like they were feeding Xiao Wen."

"Xiao Wen was so naughty yesterday, he even smashed a vase. But your third uncle and aunt spoil him so much. They didn't say a thing about the broken vase, just acted like nothing had happened."

Hearing this, Lin Feng thought she was complaining and tried to console her. "It's alright. They'll be leaving in a few days. Besides, we don't really see them much unless it's a holiday or special occasion..."

Zhang Yuxi stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. "Honey, I was just making a casual comment. I didn't mean anything by it."

Lin Feng smiled. "I know."

Although Zhang Yuxi wasn't particularly fond of Lin Jiajun's family, she didn't dislike them either. She just didn't want Lin Feng to misunderstand her and think she was being petty. Seeing his calm expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, honey, I'm heading out now. I'll come back for lunch if I'm free."

Lin Feng gestured for her to come closer.

"What is it, honey?"

He leaned in and whispered, "You forgot something."

"What..."

Before she could finish, Lin Feng smacked a kiss on her lips.

"You forgot to kiss me."

At his words, Zhang Yuxi blushed, her face radiating happiness.

"Honey... will you always love me like this?"

Lin Feng gently brushed her hair back, his tone firm. "Of course! If I, your husband, don't love you, who will?"

Zhang Yuxi leaned in and smacked a kiss right back, then left with a contented smile.

"I'm off!"

"Go on."
