My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

Chapter 417: Diving with the Baby


Zhang Yuxi had bought waterproof sunscreen. It was fine even if the children played in the water.

Once Zhang Yuxi changed her clothes, the family set off for the beach. They carried little buckets and shovels, ready to search the sand for small crabs, sea turtles, and conchs. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi held hands, watching their children frolic, occasionally calling out with a word of caution.

Suddenly, the quadruplets walking ahead stopped in their tracks.

"Dad, come look, something's moving here!"

"Dad, come quick! Ah... It came out! It's a little sea turtle, it's so cute!"

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi went over and saw an adorable little sea turtle in the sand.

"Look around," Lin Feng encouraged them. "You'll definitely find more treasures."

Exploring and treasure hunting was one of the children's favorite games. Upon hearing their father's words, the quadruplets happily went off to search again.

Many other children were also treasure hunting on the beach. They greeted each other, exchanged tips, and showed off their finds.

After a while, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi came across the familiar bar. Everything seemed just as they remembered. Lin Feng ordered sodas for the quadruplets, a low-alcohol drink for himself, and a non-alcoholic beverage for Zhang Yuxi.

The waiter glanced at them. "Hmm? You look familiar!"

Lin Feng smiled. "I've been here before."

The waiter looked at Zhang Yuxi and then at the quadruplets. "I remember now!" He didn't say anything more, but it was clear he recalled them. He served countless people every day, so not many left a lasting impression. However, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi's good looks were unforgettable on their own, to say nothing of the fact they had quadruplets.

The children sipped their sodas, their faces glowing with enjoyment. Seeing other children with snacks, they wanted some too.

In the distance, people in wetsuits were on a boat, along with some staff members. Lin Feng had wanted to try diving during his last visit and was determined to finally do it this time.

He asked the waiter, "Excuse me, where can we go diving around here?"

"There's a diving center nearby. They specialize in taking both professionals and amateurs diving."

The quadruplets' eyes lit up. "Uncle, can kids go diving?"

"Yes! But you have to be at least six years old. Are you?"

"We are! We are!"

"Then that's no problem."

Now the children were all urging Lin Feng to hurry up, desperate to go diving.

After finishing their drinks, they used a navigation app and asked for directions, learning that there were many diving centers nearby. Lin Feng searched online and chose the largest one.

A staff member greeted them. "Are you here to go diving?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Yes. I wanted to ask, my wife can't swim. Is that a problem?"

The staff member replied with a smile, "That's perfectly fine. Our instructors will guide you the entire time. They are all certified, so it's absolutely safe."

Lin Feng asked again, "What about the children?"

The staff member glanced at the quadruplets. "Our policy states that children over six years old can dive. However, to ensure their safety, we require them to undergo a simple health check first."

The staff member then called a colleague over. "Could you give these four children a check? They're all over six years old."

"Alright, children, please come this way with me."

Zhang Yuxi went with them, saying to Lin Feng, "Honey, I'll go see."

Lin Feng stayed behind to get more information.

"Our fees are charged by the hour, and wetsuit rentals are required. The rates for adults and children are different," the staff member explained. "For non-swimmers, our instructors can only take them to the designated shallow-water area, not into deep water. For children, regardless of whether they can swim or not, we also only take them to the shallows. If you're an experienced diver and want to go to the deep-water area, that can be arranged."

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the brochure. "I see you also provide photography services? Like video recording?"

"That's right. Many people like to have a record of their dive and the underwater scenery. We offer photography packages for an additional fee."

Lin Feng opted for the package. "Okay, no problem!" the staff member said with a smile.

A short while later, the results of the children's check-ups were ready. The children were all in excellent health, and Zhang Yuxi was also cleared to dive.

"You can pay now, and then I'll have someone get your wetsuits and the photography staff ready for you."

While they were paying, the owner chimed in, saying that for the four children, it would be best to have three instructors for proper supervision, as two wouldn't be enough for safety.

The staff member looked at Lin Feng apologetically. "So... would you be willing to add the extra fee? After all, safety is the most important thing."

Lin Feng had no objections. For their group of six, they were assigned three instructors and one photographer.

It was time to change into their wetsuits. The children excitedly followed a staff member to get fitted for kid-sized suits. Soon after, they were all geared up and ready to go. They boarded a speedboat that whisked them out to sea.

An instructor briefed them. "Rule number one: don't wander off. Stay with your assigned instructor at all times. Rule number two: if you feel sick or uncomfortable in any way, tell us immediately so we can bring you to the surface. Understand?"

The instructors knew from experience that supervising children could be a headache, especially four at once.

Lin Feng reinforced the instruction. "If you feel uncomfortable at all, tell the instructor right away. You can't do anything dangerous just because you're having fun, do you understand?"

The quadruplets all nodded, showing they understood.

Upon reaching the diving spot, the instructors helped everyone put on their gear, performing a thorough final check. One of the instructors entered the water first. Zhang Yuxi followed, then the quadruplets went in one after another, with Lin Feng going in last.

Zhang Yuxi was a little nervous, but Lin Feng took her hand. The encouraging look in his eyes behind his goggles gave her strength. The instructors positioned themselves around the family, protecting them as they slowly guided them deeper. This was a shallow diving area, suitable for children and non-swimmers.

As they descended, the underwater world gradually came into focus. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The water was so clear that everyone's nervousness vanished instantly.

Lin Feng kept holding Zhang Yuxi's hand. The couple, in turn, held the hands of their second and third children. The instructors signaled that they could gently touch the fish swimming by.

Fish leisurely swam past them. The children reached out to catch them, but the fish darted away nimbly. The underwater world was rich and colorful. The deeper they went, the more fish they saw. They swam all around the family, not at all afraid of the newcomers. The children began playing with the fish, their faces beaming with joy.

After forty-five minutes, the instructors led them back to the surface and onto the boat. Seeing the children's reluctant expressions, Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng felt the exact same way. In the past, whenever they saw diving scenes on TV, they would think about trying it themselves one day. Now that they had experienced it firsthand, the incomparable feeling lingered, leaving them in a daze.

The first thing the instructors did was ask if anyone was feeling unwell. Thankfully, both the children and the adults were perfectly fine.

Back at the center, they took off their wetsuits and came out after a quick shower.

The staff asked with a smile, "How was it? Wasn't it beautiful? Do you want to go again?"

The whole family nodded in unison. They definitely wanted to go again; they hadn't had their fill of fun yet.

The staff member suggested with a smile, "Then come back tomorrow. This was your first time diving, so you need a good rest. Also, remember that you can't board a plane for at least twelve hours after diving."
