Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan were busy with something else.

Zhou Cuilan lay in the water. "This is so comfortable. Why don't you give it a try?"

Lin Dashan lay down beside her. "It really is!"

After they'd had their fun, the babies were exhausted. Their parents wiped the sweat off their bodies with towels and then placed them in their stroller.

The babies dozed off in the stroller. Even First Baby was so tired that he yawned.

Zhou Cuilan suggested, "How about this? You two go have fun, and your dad and I will watch the kids."

"You're not going to play?"

Zhou Cuilan smiled. "These are activities for you young people. Your dad and I can't keep up."

"Then we'll have to trouble you, Mom and Dad."

"It's no trouble at all. Go on."

The babies would sleep for an hour, which gave the couple an hour to play.

Lin Feng pulled Zhang Yuxi by the hand and ran ahead. "Honey, come on! Let's make the most of our time."

Zhang Yuxi followed behind him, laughing. "Okay!"

On the water roller coaster, a frightened Zhang Yuxi grabbed Lin Feng's hand.

"Honey, I'm scared!"

"Don't be. Just close your eyes and it'll be fine," Lin Feng comforted her.

After getting off, Zhang Yuxi was both scared and thrilled, her face pale.

Lin Feng asked with concern, "Honey, are you okay?"

Zhang Yuxi waved her hand. "I'm fine, let's go play something else..."

At the Super Bowl slide, they ran into Lin Jie, who had just finished the high-flying glide.

"Come on, let's go together."

They played for more than an hour, the smiles never leaving their faces. They truly had a great time today.

In the end, the group took a taxi back.

Once home, everyone showered. By the time they were done, the babies had woken up. Zhang Yuxi and Zhou Cuilan went to bathe them.

First Baby still resisted his bath.

Zhou Cuilan was puzzled. "Didn't he have fun today?"

"This... I don't know either..."

Lin Feng was busy in the kitchen making dinner. After eating, they took a pleasant walk on the beach. Holding a small bucket, Lin Feng continued the treasure hunt with the babies. This time, he built them a sandcastle.

Of course, this was Lin Feng using his Craftsmanship Skills. This was followed by a sports car, a reclining princess...

Zhang Yuxi watched in disbelief. "Wow, honey, you're amazing!"

"Not at all!" Lin Feng replied humbly, casually drawing a heart in the sand for her.

「Before they knew it, a week had passed and it was time to head back.」

Lin Feng drove the RV, taking everyone back to Yangcheng. They stayed for one night before taking the high-speed train back to Meicheng the next day.

Although going out every day was fun, it was also exhausting. It took Zhang Yuxi several days at home to recover her energy, while Lin Feng remained spirited. She didn't know that because they had taken the babies on their first long-distance trip, the system had rewarded him with an upgraded Marrow Cleansing Pill the night before. It had transformed him completely.

Both his strength and reflexes had reached the limits of human potential. He was brimming with vigor and in excellent condition.

"Honey, you seem a bit different..."

As Lin Feng bustled about the kitchen, he asked casually, "Different in what way?"

"Uh, I can't quite put my finger on it..."

Lin Feng smiled slightly. "Maybe I'm just happy from our trip."

Perhaps, Zhang Yuxi thought.

...

Life continued in its usual simple yet happy way.

The babies, nearly a year old, walked very steadily and no longer needed anyone hovering behind them for support. They could walk completely on their own, and when it came to using the bathroom, they would obediently go to the toilet as Lin Feng had taught them. They ate their meals without needing to be told, always finishing their food.

Of course, they weren't always obedient. They had their mischievous moments. The ringleaders were Fourth Baby and Second Baby, which gave Lin Feng quite a headache. But raising children is a long road, and this was just the beginning.

As the older generation would say, the truly worrying days were still ahead.

At this age, the babies were bursting with energy. With the exception of the quiet Third Baby, the rest were like unleashed huskies if you took your eyes off them for a second. Although it wasn't right to compare his precious children to huskies, they really could tear the house apart. Lin Feng felt the system had given him the upgraded Marrow Cleansing Pill just so he could cope with them at this stage.

One morning, Lin Feng woke up to make breakfast, telling the family dog, Da Bai, to keep an eye on the babies. He hadn't even made it downstairs before he heard Da Bai barking. He turned back to see Fourth Baby scrambling out of bed and PITTER-PATTER-ing to the bathroom to do his business. The weather was warm, so he didn't need to put on extra clothes after getting up.

Zhang Yuxi was already awake. "Honey, you go ahead and get started. I'll watch the babies."

Lin Feng washed Fourth Baby's bottom, got him cleaned up, and prepared to carry him downstairs.

Carry him downstairs? Heh, not a chance. Fourth Baby had his own unique method, one he had invented himself. He lay down on the stairs and slid all the way to the bottom with a series of soft thumps. He was laughing so hard his eyes crinkled, an expression that left Lin Feng at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. He had no idea when his son had figured this out. Now, all the babies had learned it and thought it was a blast.

Fourth Baby zipped downstairs and PITTER-PATTERED to the play area. Lin Feng told him to be careful, then went to the kitchen to check on the stove.

A moment later, he heard Zhang Yuxi's voice from the second floor.

"Honey, Second Baby is down!"

PITTER-PATTER, PITTER-PATTER...

Second Baby, ever the considerate one, immediately ran over to Lin Feng and hugged him.

"Daddy, morning!"

"Morning, Second Baby!"

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

Who would have thought that Second Baby, who looked like such a tomboy, was the best at sweet talk? She declared her love for Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng countless times every day. She then pitter-pattered off to play.

"Honey, First Baby is here!"

"Got it."

From the THUMP, THUMP, THUMP of his footsteps, it was clear this baby had some weight on him. First Baby was the sturdiest of the bunch, endearingly chubby with an occasionally dazed expression on his face. He was the very picture of a lovable oaf, cute beyond words.

"Daddy!"

"Morning, First Baby!"

Lin Feng dished out the babies' breakfast. The weather was hot, so it needed to cool a bit before they could eat. He walked over to the ball pit and tossed back an ocean ball that had rolled out. The happily playing children suddenly shifted their focus and moved to their toy area, where all the toys they'd ever owned were piled up.

Lin Feng had originally wanted to sort them. However, Second Baby also liked traditionally "boy" toys like Transformers, planes, tanks, and bears, while Fourth Baby was interested in talking dolls and sparkly pink things. So, all their toys were kept together.

No sooner had Lin Feng tidied the ball pit than he had to start on the toy area. It had to be done; otherwise, with the toddlers running around, they could easily trip and fall.

When they had more or less finished playing, Third Baby also came downstairs. Lin Feng called the babies over to wash their hands and eat.

"Slow down, slow down, no chasing!"

Lin Feng washed and dried their hands one by one while Zhang Yuxi got them settled in their seats. With his God-level Culinary Skills, Lin Feng created a variety of meals every day to ensure the children received a balanced diet.

The babies were well-behaved at mealtime, often interacting and then getting lost in conversation as they ate.

"No talking while you eat. Hurry up!"

The babies resumed eating. It wasn't that he was being too strict, but once they started chatting, they would never stop. When they got carried away with their chatting, mealtime could stretch to an hour or two—and that was no exaggeration. After eating for that long and resting for half an hour, it would be almost four in the afternoon by the time they were ready for a nap. Who could sleep then?

So, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi set a good example by eating quietly. Usually, this meant the babies would finish in about half an hour. Third Baby was a slow eater, taking over forty minutes to finish her meal. By that time, Lin Feng had already finished the dishes. While Zhang Yuxi played with the children, he started simmering a pigeon soup.

These were free-range pigeons, not ones raised in a cage. They were from a few pigeons Chen Miaomiao's father had specially brought over during a recent visit. In less than two weeks, they were almost all gone. While the soup simmered, Lin Feng began preparing lunch for the adults.

The children PITTER-PATTERED all over the living room. Inevitably, one of them fell.

THUD. He hit the ground.

A moment later, Fourth Baby scrambled up, rubbed his forehead, grabbed a toy gun, and went PITTER-PATTERING after First Baby. As he got older, Fourth Baby's personality was becoming stronger and more resilient; he wasn't as fragile as when he was younger. Zhang Yuxi went to check on him. The spot was a little red, but it wasn't swelling. Lin Feng came over as well and saw it wasn't serious. Fourth Baby struggled in their arms, slipping out of their grasp like an eel before PITTER-PATTERING away again.

Fourth Baby, Second Baby, and First Baby enacted their daily game of chase. Fourth Baby, in particular, fell many times. Gradually, their parental heartache had turned into weary acceptance.

Third Baby preferred quiet activities. So she always stayed in the toy area, playing by herself.

"Big brother..." Third Baby knew she was the youngest and that she should call the others "brother" or "sister." She was very articulate and well-behaved.

First Baby knew Third Baby liked music, so he would always give her any toy that made a sound.

Third Baby took it from him. "Thank you!"

The children were divided into two camps: the quiet and the active. The quiet one could play for half a day without causing any trouble. The other three... well...

"Mommy, Mommy... can we play with the gun together?"

"Sure."

"Mommy, Mommy, I'm a monster, and you're Ultraman, okay?"

"...Okay."

"Mommy's a dinosaur! Here I come!"

"...Ah, you're so strong! The dinosaur is hurt..."

Half an hour later, Zhang Yuxi collapsed onto the sofa, feeling completely exhausted.
