My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

Chapter 423: A Fine Dream!


When they came out, it was already completely dark, around 7:30 PM. On the way, they bought some food, and the family discussed whether to stay in a hotel or go home.

Zhang Yuxi looked at the children, wanting to hear their thoughts. The children chose to go home. For them, home was the most comfortable and warmest place in the world. Even if the hotels outside were wonderful, they couldn't compare to their own home.

"Then let's go home!"

When they got home, they happened to run into Miao Lang eating bread and drinking milk.

"You're back?"

"Mhm."

Lin Feng went straight to the kitchen. "Just wait a bit, dinner will be ready soon."

Miao Lang liked congee, so Lin Feng planned to make some. Besides, the snacks they had eaten outside had been too heavy in flavor. He couldn't even stomach it himself, let alone the children.

Once the congee was ready, the other dishes were done as well. "Honey, kids, dinner's ready!"

At the dinner table, Miao Lang said, "You could take the kids to the natural history museum. It's the largest in the world, with major exhibits covering five areas: astronomy, mineralogy, human history, ancient animals, and modern animals. It has an abundance of fossils, dinosaurs, birds, and its collections of treasured gemstones, mollusks, and marine life specimens are particularly valuable. It'll be very interesting. Since you're here anyway, you should take the kids to see it. It's a lot of fun!"

Before Lin Feng could say anything, the children were already clamoring to go.

Lin Feng wanted to go too. "Alright, then you all should go to bed early tonight. We'll get up early tomorrow."

Miao Lang chuckled. "You go, I won't. I'm getting old and want to rest at home."

"Okay, I'll make breakfast tomorrow morning and we'll try to be back before noon."

Miao Lang shook his head. "No, no, you all just have a good time. I'll take care of the meals."

Hearing this, Lin Feng didn't say anything more.

After the children finished eating, they rested for a while before lying down to sleep. Lin Feng messaged the teachers for both of his children's classes, requesting two more days off. The teachers had no objections.

「The next day.」

Lin Feng took his wife and children out. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the natural history museum.

Just then, a handsome young man approached and greeted Lin Feng politely. "Hello, are you here to visit the museum? Do you need a guide?"

Lin Feng sized up the young man. "How much do you charge?"

The young man was surprised by how fluent Lin Feng's foreign language was. After a moment of shock, he quickly replied, "Fifty. How about that? This price is already very cheap, I can't go any lower."

Lin Feng nodded. "Okay, that's the price then."

He gave the young man fifty yuan on the spot.

The young man was moved by Lin Feng's decisiveness and quickly pocketed the money. "Thank you! Please follow me."

Afterward, the young man introduced himself. He was still a university student and came here to work part-time whenever he had time.

"Have you seen *Night at the Museum*? It was filmed right here!"

"I've seen that one," Lin Feng said.

Zhang Yuxi said, "I haven't."

The young man smiled. "You can watch it when you get back after our tour. It's a really fun movie, and it was all shot on location here!

"First, let me tell you about the museum. There are four floors open to visitors. There are cloakrooms on the ground and second floors where you can store coats, backpacks, and umbrellas for a fee. Flash photography is generally allowed, but tripods are not."

The young man suggested, "You could store your backpack to make walking around easier."

Lin Feng smiled. "No need, it's very light."

The young man smiled back. "Then let's go!"

He then took out an ID pass, which allowed him to enter and exit the museum freely.

"First, I'd like to introduce you to the first floor. It features the North American Forest, the Hall of Biodiversity, the Hall of Ocean Life, mammals, and so much more!"

The family followed the young man. In the center of the main hall was a giant diorama featuring a family of eight elephants of various sizes. The quadruplets gasped in amazement. Surrounding them were lifelike specimens of lions, tigers, deer, and leopards, complete with immersive sound effects.

Having been to the museum in Yangcheng, the little ones were already quite worldly, so they weren't overly astonished.

That is, until they reached the Hall of Ocean Life.

A giant model of a blue whale was suspended from the ceiling right above the main hall. The museum had accurately replicated its size and weight, creating an incredibly impressive sight. The entire family of six was stunned. The children's mouths fell open in utter shock.

The young man introduced it with a smile. "Aside from the meteorites, this is the most 'heavyweight' exhibit in the museum. The 29-meter-long, 9,500-kilogram blue whale model is a constant reminder for us to pay attention to marine life and the ocean's ecosystem."

He winked at the quadruplets. "Kids, they swim really fast and can hear things from very, very far away!"

On this floor, they also saw a treasured 100-carat star ruby and the world's largest star sapphire. A massive six-pointed star was visible in the center of the gem, which weighed 563 carats and was over two billion years old. The sight was breathtaking.

Upon seeing the rubies and sapphires, the second-born daughter was frozen in place, her eyes filled with longing.

The young man hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is she okay?"

The fourth-born daughter replied fluently in the foreign language, "My sister is fine! She wants to be a jewelry designer when she grows up, so she just really loves jewelry!"

The young man raised his eyebrows. "Oh, is that so? That's a wonderful dream!"

On the second floor was the mammal exhibit, which the children watched with rapt attention.

"There's a special film showing on the first floor," the guide said. "Hundreds of people line up every day to see it. It's very crowded right now, but we can go down after we finish our tour. There shouldn't be as many people then. It has a panoramic, giant screen that's two or three stories tall, with full surround sound. It features swarms of butterflies, migratory birds, schools of fish, and more. It's really awesome!"

On the third floor, a large TV screen was playing a documentary on the origin of life, which was nearing its end. The children weren't interested in that; they heard something about 3D glasses and ran over to see.

The young man explained, "This is 'Dark Universe.' It gives people the wondrous feeling of traveling through outer space. Each showing lasts about thirty minutes."

When the children heard "outer space," it was a must-see.

After waiting in line for five minutes, it was their turn. The experience was amazing. When the family came out, they felt as if they were walking on cotton.

The young man asked with a smile, "How did it feel?"

The second-born beamed. "Superb! I loved it!"

The young man's expression turned mysterious. "On the fourth floor, we can see dinosaurs!"

The children let out a collective gasp, wishing they could fly to the fourth floor that very instant.

Zhang Yuxi and her husband exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. Their children's happiness was their own bliss.
