"Looks like we need to get a potty chair!"

As soon as the thought occurred to him, Lin Feng took out his phone and called Liu Bo. He asked him to buy some height-adjustable potty chairs and have them installed throughout the entire villa.

Half an hour later, Liu Bo delivered the potties. He also brought over the princess dresses Lin Feng had been eyeing. Zhang Yuxi was absolutely delighted.

"I also brought some princess-style hair clips and hair ties," Liu Bo added. "Xiao Tong picked them all out, and I think they look quite pretty."

Zhang Yuxi adored the cute hair clips, holding them as if they were treasure. She could already imagine how adorable the babies would look wearing them. "Please thank her for me."

"You're too kind, Mrs. Lin," Liu Bo said with a smile. "It was no trouble at all."

"Bro, Mrs. Lin, I've got other things to attend to, so I'll get going now."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work today," Lin Feng said.

"It's nothing. Just let me know if you need anything in the future, and I'll bring it right over."

After setting up the potty chairs, Lin Feng also laid down some non-slip mats to prevent the babies from falling. It took him a busy half-hour, but he finally got everything ready. It was about time for the babies to go, so it was the perfect opportunity to try them out.

Lin Feng called the eldest and fourth babies over, asking them to stand in a line to use their new potties. To help them get used to it, Lin Feng pretended to support the eldest while making a motion as if he were holding him up to pee. When you have to go, you have to go; holding it in is uncomfortable.

The eldest, Dabao, was the most sensible and obedient of the four babies.

Lin Feng leaned toward the potty chair and whispered, "PSST... PSST..."

Dabao couldn't hold it any longer. He shivered, and then he peed.

Perfect!

Lin Feng kissed Dabao and praised him, "You're amazing, Dabao! Very good!"

After sending Dabao out, it was the fourth baby's turn. Sibao, who was playful by nature, found the whole thing amusing and giggled at Lin Feng. It was clear he wanted his father to hold him while he went.

"No, you can't do that," Lin Feng said patiently. "You need to do it by yourself, little one!"

Sibao reluctantly stood in front of the potty chair. One minute passed, then five.

Lin Feng was speechless. He got up and stood next to Sibao, waiting patiently.

Tired of standing, Sibao looked at the little potty, wanting to sit for a while. As he started to lean back, Lin Feng mimed the motion of holding him. The baby, wanting to rest comfortably in his father's arms, nearly fell backward. Lin Feng, who had been standing a short distance away, rushed forward to catch him, his heart skipping a beat.

Finally, after Sibao was done, Lin Feng carried him back to the play area.

Next were the second and third babies. Their potties were deep pink and light pink, and very pretty. Today, the two little girls had their hair in pigtails that bounced as they toddled around. They sat on their potties for a long time before finally going. Lin Feng explained to them that this was the place to pee and poop.

The third baby seemed to understand, more or less, while the second baby waddled off to play. Without a baby walker, the couple felt they had to watch the children constantly. The floor was wooden, and a fall would be painful.

Leaning against the doorframe, Lin Feng sighed. This is going to be a long and arduous journey. I have to take it one step at a time.

After that, he washed the princess dresses Liu Bo had brought and hung them outside to dry. By then, it was about time to start making lunch. Lin Jie and his friends were watching a movie in the villa's home theater, so he would call them when the food was ready.

Zhang Yuxi stayed with the babies while Lin Feng cooked in the kitchen, pondering what kind of healthy snacks he could make for them that day.

Once lunch was prepared, Zhang Yuxi settled the babies in their high chairs and washed their hands and faces. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi fed them half of their meal, leaving the rest for the babies to eat on their own. To encourage them to eat properly, Lin Feng had cut back on their snacks. That way, when the babies got hungry, they would focus on their meals.

Afterward, Lin Feng called Lin Jie and the others to eat.

At the dining table, Lin Jie mentioned that they would be returning home tomorrow, and they could check their college entrance exam scores the day after. At the mention of their scores, all four of them grew a little anxious.

Lin Feng nodded. "Good. Remember to tell me how you did."

"Mhm."

The sun was so bright that the little dresses they had washed in the morning were already dry by the afternoon. Lin Feng delightedly dressed the second and third babies in them, pinning on the cute hair clips.

"Honey, how can our daughters be so adorable?" he exclaimed. "They're so cute! Absolutely gorgeous!"

The two little princesses, dressed in shimmering, puffy pink dresses, were irresistibly cute.

"From now on, I'm going to dress them up beautifully every single day!" Lin Feng declared.

No wonder so many people want to have daughters. So cute, so soft, so sweet and considerate. Who wouldn't like them, who wouldn't love them, who wouldn't want them!

While the babies were playing, Zhang Yuxi poked Lin Feng. "You like having daughters?"

"Mhm."

"Then do you like me?"

Lin Feng turned to her in surprise. "Of course I like you, very much. The two kinds of love can't be compared."

Zhang Yuxi wrapped her arms around him. "Darling, you can't just stop liking me now that you have daughters."

Lin Feng was even more surprised. He couldn't understand why Zhang Yuxi, a mother herself, would worry about such things.

A woman's mind truly is a strange thing sometimes!

"How could that be? You are you, and our daughters are our daughters!" Lin Feng took her hand and changed the subject. "The college entrance exam results are out tonight. I wonder how Lin Jie and the others did."

***

「Tonight.」

Countless students were staying up late, waiting to see their scores. For them, each day had felt like a year, and every passing second was torture.

Having returned to Meicheng, Lin Jie, Chen Miaomiao, and their friends were chatting in their WeChat group.

Yang Zheng: Hey guys, so I never told you, but when I was estimating my score, I thought I might actually get into Jingcheng Affiliated University.

Yang Zheng: I don't know where this blind confidence is coming from, but that's what my calculated score suggested.

Meng Liang: Hey guys, so I never told you, but when I was estimating my score, I thought I might actually get into Jingcheng Affiliated University.

Yang Zheng: "..."

Chen Miaomiao: "..."

Lin Jie: "..."

Chen Miaomiao: Hey guys, so I never told you, but when I was estimating my score, I thought I might actually get into Jingcheng Affiliated University.

Yang Zheng: "..."

Meng Liang: "..."

Lin Jie: Hey guys, so I never told you, but when I was estimating my score, I thought I might actually get into Peking University.

Chen Miaomiao: "..."

Yang Zheng: "..."

Meng Liang: "..."

The group chat exploded with laughter, and then a meme war began.

Chen Miaomiao: Should we try to be a little more pessimistic? They say if you're too happy about something, you'll jinx it.

Yang Zheng: Better safe than sorry. Now you're making me nervous.

Meng Liang: What's there to be nervous about? We just have to wait for the results.

Yang Zheng: It's mainly my parents. They're so nervous they keep pacing back and forth, muttering nonstop. It's making me really anxious.

Chen Miaomiao: I don't know why, but I have a feeling I can get into Jingcheng Affiliated University.

Lin Jie: If I only get into Jingcheng Affiliated, I might just retake the year.

Following that topic, the others also started considering the possibility of retaking the year if needed. As they talked, the results didn't seem so terrifying anymore.

Chen Miaomiao went to the bathroom. In the living room, his father, Chen Jianguo, sat in front of the computer, rubbing his hands together and chain-smoking.

"Son, it's okay if you don't do well," he said. "Whether you want to study abroad or retake the year, Dad will support you!"

His son had worked so hard this time; he wouldn't care what the result was. Ever since he realized his son wasn't cut out for academics, he had already planned out his future for him.

Chen Miaomiao looked at his father, who hadn't stopped shaking his leg. "Dad, I've come to terms with it. If I don't get into Jingcheng Affiliated University, I'll just work hard and retake the year. You, on the other hand, seem very nervous."

Chen Jianguo gave a dry laugh. "It's normal, totally normal!"

In truth, when Chen Miaomiao had come home and estimated his score, saying he might get into Jingcheng Affiliated University, Chen Jianguo had thought it was a pipe dream. But he hadn't wanted to crush his son's confidence. Then, just a few days ago, Chen Jianguo had bumped into his son's teacher and mentioned it. The teacher had been stunned by Chen Miaomiao's progress.

"As long as he performed as he usually does on his practice tests, getting into Jingcheng Affiliated shouldn't be a problem."

And just like that, Chen Jianguo was filled with hope. What if his son really did it? A person's potential was limitless. When one's heart was set on a goal, success wasn't impossible. So, Chen Jianguo, who had previously been indifferent to the exam, found himself looking forward to the results more and more each day. But he couldn't show this anticipation, lest he put pressure on his son.

Chen Miaomiao came out of the bathroom and resumed messaging his friends.

Ten o'clock came and went... then eleven... then eleven-thirty...

Chen Jianguo clutched his chest, feeling his heart race.

Chen Miaomiao was startled. "Dad, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

There were less than five minutes until the results were released. He just had to hold on...
