Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the owner understood. She realized Lin Feng simply felt the babies were bored at home and wanted to find them some playmates.

"That's not impossible..." the owner hesitated. "But the price is a bit difficult to calculate... I'll go discuss with my staff what an appropriate fee would be."

Two minutes later, the owner returned. "It's 3,000 yuan. A flat rate, and I can't go any lower."

In truth, that 3,000 yuan was practically free money for her.

The price was within Lin Feng's acceptable range. "Alright," he said. "Let's start today."

Lin Feng paid the 3,000 yuan on the spot.

When he returned home, Zhang Yuxi was already awake. "Honey, where did you go?"

"I just set things up with the daycare downstairs. I paid 3,000 yuan, so we can take the babies there to play from now on."

Zhang Yuxi was stunned for a moment. "No wonder I was hearing so many children downstairs. Our babies will definitely love playing with other kids."

Lin Feng went to knock on Lin Jie's door. "Time to get up!"

After everyone got ready, the older kids left for school. There were plenty of shared bicycles near the school, which were convenient if they were running late.

Once they had all left, Lin Feng sat on the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at his babies, each one sleeping like a little piglet.

"Babies, time to get up!"

The Fourth Baby woke with a jolt, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Daddy!"

Lin Feng kissed him and turned off the air conditioner.

"Do you need to go potty?"

The Fourth Baby nodded. "Yes."

Lin Feng took him to the bathroom. When they came out, the Second Baby was also awake. The Second Baby wasn't very ladylike at all. She deftly slid off the bed, her little slippers clattering on the floor as she headed for the bathroom.

Lin Feng couldn't help but give his daughter a mental thumbs-up. Never mind the Fourth Baby, even the First Baby didn't dare climb out of bed on his own yet. Getting down was easy, but getting back up was the hard part.

He watched as the Second Baby returned and tried to climb back onto the bed, only to get stuck with her torso draped over the mattress while her little legs kicked in the air. One foot failed to find purchase on the bedframe, and then the other failed as well.

"Daddy, help... help..."

Lin Feng had been secretly watching the entire time. This is hilarious! he thought, utterly amused by his daughter's predicament. She's just too adorable!

Lin Feng walked over and easily lifted her onto the bed. "Daddy's here!"

The Second Baby grinned. "Thank you!"

After rolling over a few times, the First Baby also woke up. The Third Baby scooted over to Lin Feng and called out softly, "Daddy..."

Lin Feng said gently, "Third Baby, time to get up. Daddy's going to take you to play with other kids today, okay?"

Upon hearing they were going to play with other children, the Fourth Baby and the Second Baby were so excited they cheered in agreement. The Third Baby was less enthusiastic, and the First Baby was in the bathroom.

"Daddy? What was that?" he called out.

Lin Feng raised his voice. "I said, I'm going to take you all to play with other kids in a little while!"

The First Baby couldn't have been happier.

The babies no longer wore diapers during the day, only thin ones at night. At only one year old, they couldn't fully control their bladders and bowels yet. However, Lin Feng had already mastered their pooping schedules, and he could even recognize the specific facial expressions they made when they needed to go. Peeing in their pants still happened occasionally, but there hadn't been a single pooping accident. It was most likely to happen when the babies got lost in their playing while Lin Feng was busy with something else. In those situations, one or two of them would often end up with wet pants.

Lin Feng gathered several spare pairs of pants and underwear, then led the four babies downstairs to knock on the daycare door. He carried the Second and Third Babies, watching as the other two carefully made their way down the stairs step-by-step, holding onto the railing for support. The steps weren't high, so they managed to get downstairs safely.

When the owner opened the door and saw Lin Feng with four babies in tow, she was stunned.

"These... are all of these your children?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Quadruplets."

"My, that's... that's amazing!" Beyond that, she was at a loss for words.

Inside, the daycare children had just woken up from their naps and were playing with toys. The Second Baby and the First Baby, being naturally outgoing, joined in right away. The Fourth Baby found some toys for himself and started playing with another child who approached him.

The Third Baby clung to Lin Feng, a little intimidated by all the other children. Lin Feng led her over to the toys. Just then, an adorable two-year-old came over and offered her a toy. "This is for you!"

The Third Baby said politely, "Thank you."

Lin Feng whispered, "Third Baby, why don't you play with the other children? Daddy's a little tired, so I'm just going to sit here and rest for a bit."

The Third Baby nodded, still a bit apprehensive. "Daddy, you'll stay right here. You won't go anywhere, okay?"

"Okay. Daddy won't go anywhere, except maybe to the bathroom."

The owner came over and asked, "Your children have just turned one? They don't look much smaller than the two-year-olds."

For quadruplets to be growing so well was a testament to how wonderfully they were cared for.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. "It's probably because they're so active. I guess that helps them grow faster."

Among the crowd of toddlers, his children stood out remarkably. Their skin was fair, and they were all chubby and plump in an incredibly adorable way. The Third Baby was especially beautiful. She had perfectly inherited the best features from both Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi and was growing more stunning by the day. Combined with the Third Baby's gentle disposition, her overall temperament made her seem particularly different from the other children.

The Second and Fourth Babies were having a wonderful time. Even though the Fourth Baby was the youngest, his cries, actions, and mannerisms had always been very charismatic. In just a short while, he had become the de facto king of the kids, with even the older children gathering around him.

Furthermore, Lin Feng began to notice other differences between his children and their peers. The other one-year-olds at the daycare weren't very steady on their feet, let alone able to speak clearly. The girls were slightly more advanced, occasionally managing to form a complete sentence, but most of the boys just babbled incoherently. Without a direct comparison, Lin Feng had always assumed that besides being a bit taller, his children weren't all that different from others their age.

All the one-year-old boys here wore split-crotch pants, which made it convenient for them to urinate without wetting themselves. Some of the two-year-old boys wore them as well, while others wore regular, closed-crotch pants. Parents always brought several extra pairs of pants when dropping their children off. Fortunately, since it was summer, they would wash and dry in no time.

Lin Feng called out to the Second Baby and the others, who were playing happily. "Remember to call for Daddy if you need to pee!"

Just then, a boy of about one year old toddled over, his little face scrunched up in concentration. Before Lin Feng could figure out what was happening, one of the nannies scooped the boy up with lightning speed and rushed him to the bathroom. When she came out, she breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close. A second later and he would have wet himself."

Lin Feng was speechless.

Since they weren't his own children, Lin Feng really didn't know their signals. One needed to pee, another needed to poop... the two nannies were incredibly busy, especially with the non-verbal one-year-olds.

In another area, a staff member in charge of meals was preparing milk, serving each child a small bowl. They used a special custom-ordered milk that had to be cooked before it could be drunk. Lin Feng got the number for the milk delivery service, deciding he would order it for his own babies to have every morning and evening as well.

Only a handful of the toddlers were able to sit still for snack time. Even fewer could hold their own little bowls to drink from. The rest of the children needed to be fed, a task that required all four staff members working together to manage. His four babies, however, sat obediently at a small table, holding their bowls and drinking sweetly.

Afterward, Lin Feng took them to the washroom to wash their faces and hands. Once he was done with his own, he even helped wash some of the other toddlers' faces and hands.

The owner came over. "Are you really taking care of these four all by yourself?" she asked.

Lin Feng nodded.

"You must be an excellent parent, then," the owner said admiringly. "They're so well-behaved for one-year-olds. Some of the two-year-olds here aren't even as good as them."

Lin Feng didn't feel like he had taught them anything special. There are just certain ways things should be done, that's all, he thought. Of course, he hoped his children would develop good habits—both for their own sake and for his.

The owner, full of admiration for Lin Feng, asked another question. "And where is their mother?"

"She's taking a course at Peking University."

"Your wife is a university lecturer?"

"Mhm."

The owner's admiration for Lin Feng was now mixed with a deep, newfound respect.
