For some reason, seeing this scene made Zhang Yuxi's nose sting.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, smiling as he watched Yuan Yuan rush over.

An An suddenly shouted, "Daddy, sister's arm is hurt!"

Tuan Tuan and Tian Tian quickly went over to look. The parents were not allowed inside the competition area and could only watch anxiously from the sidelines.

Lin Feng waved. "Yuan Yuan, come over and let Daddy take a look!"

Tuan Tuan and Tian Tian led Yuan Yuan over by the hand. Yuan Yuan's little face was flushed, her forehead still beaded with sweat, but her smile was warm and adorable. When she fell, she had scraped her arm. It was bleeding, but the injury wasn't serious.

Lin Feng gently blew on the scrape and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan Yuan nodded. "It hurts!"

Lin Feng quickly took a small bottle of iodine and a pack of cotton swabs from his backpack. He always thought one step ahead of Zhang Yuxi. He had specially prepared these items in his bag today, not expecting they would actually be needed.

Zhang Yuxi gave Yuan Yuan a big smile. "Yuan Yuan, you were amazing! Mommy is so proud of you!"

Tuan Tuan also chimed in, "Little sis, you were so awesome today!"

An An added with a laugh, "Sister was super awesome today! She shot into first place just like that!"

Tian Tian helped Lin Feng by holding the iodine bottle.

Lin Feng whispered, "This might sting a little. Be brave, okay?"

Yuan Yuan nodded, pursing her lips. "Yuan Yuan is brave! I'm not afraid of it hurting!"

Lin Feng disinfected the wound with iodine, then took out a cute bandage and applied it.

Yuan Yuan gasped, her eyes sparkling. "Daddy, where did you get this? It's so cute!"

"I bought it!"

The medical staff came over to have a look and confirmed it wasn't a major issue.

A parent standing nearby remarked, "Does this mean your kids took first place in all four of their heats?"

The couple paused, realizing that seemed to be the case. The 3-year-old category had two competition areas, A and B. Theirs was Area A, while B was on the other side. Apparently, there were only three heats over there, as some children couldn't participate for various reasons.

With both sets of preliminary heats finished, the final race for the 3-year-old category was about to begin. As the starting command was given, the group of seven finalists began their race for the championship.

This race was incredibly intense. All the children were strong competitors. An An, relying on her serpentine movements, was gradually falling behind but still held third place. Tuan Tuan, needless to say, was fleet-footed and strong, currently in second. Tian Tian was in fifth, while Yuan Yuan was in sixth. Perhaps the previous race had tired her out; she was clearly struggling with her stamina.

Soon, Yuan Yuan fell to last place.

You could see her quickly glance at an opponent who ran past her. Then, Yuan Yuan suddenly put in a burst of effort.

Would she be able to stage another comeback and take first place this time?

She moved up from last... past Tian Tian into fifth... then fourth... now she was challenging An An!

This astonished Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, as An An's stamina was usually quite good. Suddenly, it became a showdown between Yuan Yuan and An An—one a skilled racer, the other a powerhouse.

But just a few seconds from the finish line, Yuan Yuan made another successful comeback, claiming first place!

This time, however, Lin Feng suspected that Tuan Tuan and An An had let her win. The gap had been quite large; if Tuan Tuan hadn't deliberately slowed down, Yuan Yuan wouldn't have had a chance.

And just like that, the final results were in. First place: Yuan Yuan. Second place: Tuan Tuan. Third place: An An. Tian Tian finished in fifth place.

Exhausted, Yuan Yuan pushed her balance bike aside and scampered over to Lin Feng, wanting to be held.

"Daddy!"

"Yes."

"Yuan Yuan is so tired!" she whined, pouting as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Lin Feng soothed her. "You're tired, but it was worth it, wasn't it? Our Yuan Yuan got first place! You were super amazing!"

Yuan Yuan whispered, "My brother and sisters let me win!"

Lin Feng was surprised she had noticed. "Oh, really?"

Yuan Yuan nodded. "Mhm!"

"But your own strength was part of it too, right?" Lin Feng kissed his daughter's forehead. "Good girl. Go say thank you to Tuan Tuan and An An!"

After resting a bit more, Yuan Yuan scampered back over to Tuan Tuan and An An, whispering something to them.

Next up was the award ceremony for the age groups, which would take some time. The children could go rest for a bit while they waited. Lin Feng took out a water bottle and used its small cup-lid to give them some water.

"Take small sips. Don't drink too fast!"

After they had some water, he gave them small bread rolls to eat. Once the babies had replenished some energy, they started mingling and playing with the other contestants.

A teacher came over. "The award ceremony will begin in five minutes. Parents, please bring your children and follow me!"

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi led their children to the stage area. On the podium, the awards for the 2-year-old category's champion, runner-up, and third place were being presented. The little ones standing up there were beaming with happiness.

The hostess announced, "And now, we will present the awards for the 3-year-old competition group!"

Led by their teacher, the children walked onto the podium.

"Who is our first-place winner?" the hostess asked.

Yuan Yuan stepped forward. "Auntie, it's me."

The hostess couldn't help but look surprised. Wow, these three little ones are so cute. Especially the little princess who won first place, she's absolutely beautiful!

"Come, please stand up here... Auntie will lift you up!"

Yuan Yuan said sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"You're welcome!" The hostess turned with a smile and asked, "And who is our second-place winner?"

Tuan Tuan hopped forward. "It's me, Auntie!"

The hostess was a bit taken aback. I can't believe the champion and runner-up for the 3-year-old group are both little princesses! she thought as she lifted Tuan Tuan onto the podium.

"Thank you, Auntie. You've worked hard!" Tuan Tuan said.

This little princess isn't just pretty, she's so well-spoken! the hostess thought.

An An walked directly to the last remaining spot on the podium.

It was only then that the hostess noticed the striking resemblance in the children's features. Could they all have been born to the same mother? she wondered, smiling as she raised the microphone.

"And now, we present the champion, runner-up, and third-place awards for our 3-year-old group!" Holding the list, she announced, "Winning first place in our 3-year-old group is… Lin Yuanyuan!"

A staff member from the organizing committee handed the trophy to Yuan Yuan. She accepted it with a smile, her graceful demeanor making it clear she came from a good upbringing. "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Congratulations to our little champion!" the hostess said, and a round of applause erupted from the crowd.

The hostess continued, "Winning second place in our 3-year-old group is… Lin Tuantuan!" She glanced at the names, realizing they sounded like they belonged to triplets. A staff member handed the second-place trophy to Tuan Tuan.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Congratulations to our little runner-up!" the hostess smiled.

"And finally, winning third place in our 3-year-old group is… Lin Anan!"

A staff member handed the last trophy to An An. "Thank you, Uncle!"

The hostess asked, "I noticed your names are all very similar. May I ask if you are triplets?"

The audience below and the surrounding spectators were also very curious. The microphone was passed to Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan nodded, then said, "We're not triplets…"

Just as everyone grew more puzzled, she added, "We're quadruplets!"

Everyone gasped collectively. Quadruplets!

The hostess was also astounded. "So, you're quadruplets! Then, Auntie wants to know, what's your birth order?"

"I'm number three," said Yuan Yuan.

"I'm number two!" Tuan Tuan declared.

"And I'm number four!" An An added.

The hostess smiled brightly. "Wow, it's unexpected that the champion, runner-up, and third-place winner in this year's 3-year-old group were all born to the same mother. That mother is truly amazing! I'd love to know where the other little cutie is. Could Mom and Dad come up on stage?"

As she spoke, An An was already impatiently waving and shouting toward Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi. "Daddy, Mommy! Come on up!"

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, holding Tian Tian's hand, walked into the public view.

The hostess's eyes went wide. Oh my goodness, no wonder the babies are so adorable; their parents are absolutely stunning!

"The whole family is together now! Such good-looking parents, and such talented children!" The hostess handed the microphone to Zhang Yuxi. "As a parent, are you happy that your children won these grand prizes today?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "I'm very happy!" Even without makeup, her breathtaking beauty was impossible to hide.

The hostess then handed the microphone to Lin Feng. His answer was also that he was happy.

The hostess crouched down to ask Tian Tian, "Little friend, did you participate too?"

Tian Tian nodded. "I did!"

"Well then, let's work hard and try to win a trophy next time, okay?"

"Okay!" Tian Tian replied with extra enthusiasm.

The family was one of the main highlights of the competition. Although Tian Tian didn't place in the top three, he still received a participation award.

When they left, the quadruplets also received gift bags containing photos from their race, small toys, and other trinkets. While not worth much money, the children's happiness was what mattered most.
