After the Lantern Festival, Zhang Yuxi's parents were also preparing to leave Yangcheng. They would vacate the villa, leaving it for Lin Feng and his wife.

Lin Feng planned to head back to Yangcheng after lunch the next day. He had already mentioned this to Lin Dashan. Lin Dashan was reluctant to see them go, but the New Year celebrations were over. Partings were inevitable.

"Your mom made some cured meat. Take some back with you tomorrow."

"Okay."

In the evening, Lin Dashan pulled Lin Feng aside to talk. "What about your yacht?"

"I'll contact the harbor once I'm back in Yangcheng," Lin Feng replied. "Don't worry about it, Dad."

Yes, his son had grown up now. He could hold up his own piece of the sky, while he himself had grown old.

"Alright, Dad won't worry anymore!" Lin Dashan smiled. "Go on to bed. I'll sit for a while longer."

"Okay. You get some rest. I'm heading upstairs."

Zhang Yuxi was packing when Lin Feng came in. "Lin Jiajun just called," she said. "Today's revenue was 240,000."

Lin Feng nodded and started packing the babies' things.

"My mom already bought plane tickets for six in the morning," Zhang Yuxi continued. "She told us not to see them off."

The thought of them leaving made Zhang Yuxi want to cry.

Lin Feng went over and pulled her onto his lap. "You still have me and the babies," he said softly.

"Mhm."

"My brother said he's driving back early tomorrow, so he won't be stopping by to say goodbye."

"I know. He mentioned it to me at the shop."

「The next day.」

Not seeing her parents, Zhang Yuxi felt a bit down. After lunch, they finished packing and prepared to leave.

Lin Dashan hugged the four babies, his eyes reddening with reluctance to let them go.

Wiping away her tears, Zhou Cuilan said, "Grandpa and Grandma will come visit our grandbabies again soon…"

No matter how much they wished otherwise, the time for goodbyes always came.

Since Lin Feng had already said his goodbyes to everyone at the shop, he didn't call them when he left.

It was already seven in the evening by the time they returned to their familiar home. Lin Feng called his parents to let them know they'd arrived safely, then went to the kitchen to cook. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi began organizing the family's luggage.

Lin Feng made some porridge, steamed egg custard for the babies, and stir-fried two vegetable dishes.

"Honey, dinner's ready."

The babies had slept soundly in the car. Back in their familiar home and play area, they were full of energy once more.

Lin Feng sat the eldest and second babies together to feed them egg custard. The two little ones ate obediently. Next up were the third and fourth babies.

The third baby, a toy in each hand, giggled and called out, "Baba!" She was, however, indicating her refusal to eat.

Lin Feng coaxed her, sneaking in a spoonful when she was distracted. The third baby ate languidly, looking completely uninterested. She seemed to lack interest in all food; no matter how many different things he tried to make for her, she refused to eat with any enthusiasm.

It took considerable effort, but Lin Feng finally managed to feed her all the egg custard. He wiped their little mouths and hands clean.

The second baby came over and hugged Lin Feng's neck. "Baba!"

He could feel his babies' overwhelming love for him.

"You're such a good baby..."

After she finished eating, Zhang Yuxi said, "Honey, I'm going upstairs to make the beds."

"Okay."

By the time they finally went to rest, it was already past ten. The fourth baby showed no signs of sleepiness, and Lin Feng decided not to bother coaxing him.

He wouldn't sleep even if I coaxed him, so I might as well let him play on his own.

Just then, Lin Jiajun called. He felt guilty for not being able to see Lin Feng off.

"Just focus on managing the shop and getting along with An Min," Lin Feng told him. "If any issues come up, make sure to discuss them with him."

"Mhm, I will."

After hanging up, Lin Feng embraced Zhang Yuxi. "We'll go see An Lan and Liu Bo in a few days."

"Mhm."

「A few days later, on a bright, sunny day.」

Lin Feng arrived at the pedestrian street shop, carrying some local specialties from his hometown.

"Bro, why are you here? You didn't even give me a heads-up," Liu Bo said.

Lin Feng handed him the bag. "These are some local specialties from my hometown."

"Thanks, bro. Don't leave this afternoon; I'll treat you to a meal."

"No, that's okay. I've been wanting to eat light at home lately."

"Alright, then. I'll treat you some other time when you're in the mood."

"How's business lately?"

Liu Bo smiled. "It's pretty good. My parents came over to spend the New Year with me this year. Business on the pedestrian street was great on New Year's Day. I gave Chen Xiaotong and the others time off, so I tended the shop myself while celebrating with my parents. It paid off, though—we made nearly 250,000. Once Chen Xiaotong gets back, I'll register for the new semester. I only have half a semester left before I can apply for an early internship."

Even though he had savings now, he couldn't neglect his studies.

「In the blink of an eye, the new semester began.」

Lin Feng asked Liu Bo to register for classes on his behalf. Zhang Yuxi couldn't get away, as there was no one to watch the babies at home.

"Honey, I left some documents in the study," she said. "A student is coming to pick them up later, so please don't blow my cover, okay?"

Lin Feng asked, "What if I accidentally blow it?"

"Honey, stop teasing. In half a semester, you'll be able to apply for your internship. After that, you can do whatever you want!"

"Alright, I get it."

Sure enough, about fifteen minutes later, someone came to the door.

"Hello, is anyone home? Professor Zhang sent me to pick up some documents."

"Coming!" Lin Feng's voice came from inside.

He activated his Appearance Alteration skill before opening the door. A tall, thin male student stood outside. The student was stunned when he saw Lin Feng. "Excuse me, but may I ask who you are...?"

"I'm Professor Zhang's husband. You're here for the documents, right? Come on in."

"Ah? O-Okay..."

The student secretly sized Lin Feng up, shocked that Professor Zhang's husband was so young. And so, so handsome!

"Have a seat. I'll go get them from the study."

"Okay."

The student sat on the sofa, only about two meters from the babies' play area. Nearby, the babies stared curiously at the stranger in their home.

The student glanced toward the stairs, and seeing that Lin Feng was still upstairs, he started to interact with the babies. He made funny faces at them.

Oh my gosh, it's true! Professor Zhang really has quadruplets! And they're all so adorable!

The fourth and second babies were the most responsive. They giggled with delight every time he made a face.

TAP, TAP, TAP. Hearing footsteps descending the stairs, the student quickly sat up straight.

Lin Feng handed him the documents. "Take a look, is this it?"

"Yes, that's it."

The student stood up. "Then I'll be going. Sorry for the intrusion."

"Wait a moment." Lin Feng handed him a lunch box. "Take this to Professor Zhang. It's her lunch."

"Oh, okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

On the way back, the student couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen that familiar figure somewhere before.
