Lin Feng drove home. He first stopped by the supermarket to buy some groceries, then went to pick up Sibao.

"Honey, I've taken care of it. Can you pick up Sanbao and the others from school this afternoon?"

"I'm on my way to get Sibao right now…"

In the car, the father and son chatted happily.

Today, Sibao had learned fencing, and he chattered excitedly to Lin Feng about the sport and everything he had learned.

"The teacher praised me today! She said I was a genius and a super-fast learner!"

"Is that so? Well, our Sibao is very impressive then!"

Sibao lifted his chin, his face a mask of pride. "Yeah, I am pretty amazing!"

When they got home, Zhang Yuxi and the other children were already back. While the children were busy with their own activities, Zhang Yuxi slipped into the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "Honey? What happened with Xiao Wen today?"

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Honey, when our kids hit their teenage years, please be gentle with them. Talk to them kindly."

"Don't worry, honey. I've got it under control."

A few days later, Lin Jiajun told Lin Feng, "I ended up talking to Xiao Wen about it, and our conversation went really well. He's even started to open up and tell me things on his own now."

Lin Feng was happy for him after the call. It was rare to witness such a touching moment between father and son.

* * *

Time flew by in a flash. Amidst their busy lives, the quadruplets finished the third grade. And, once again, they had all scored full marks in every subject. Which meant, of course, no summer homework.

That evening, after Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had an intimate night together, Zhang Yuxi gently touched his face. "Honey," she said, "I'm starting to get old, but you haven't aged a day."

She could clearly feel her skin losing its elasticity and glow. Her energy levels, among other things, just couldn't compare to how they used to be. She worked hard to stay in shape and took meticulous care of her skin with all sorts of anti-aging products. And while other people told her she looked very young, she just didn't feel that confidence when she stood next to Lin Feng.

Her husband... his energy, his vitality... it was all the same as when he was younger. And when it came to their intimacy, he seemed even more vigorous than before.

Lin Feng caught her hand and kissed it. "There, there. Don't let your imagination run wild."

But it isn't my imagination, it's reality! Zhang Yuxi thought, feeling she had no choice but to accept it.

「Late into the night.」

The long-silent system suddenly chimed. Lin Feng couldn't even remember the last time it had made an appearance.

[Ding! For "accompanying your children to complete their first major step in education," you have obtained the Sulalan Minor Manor!]

[Ding! For enabling "your children to perfectly complete their first major step in education," you have received one Rejuvenating Snow Skin Pill!]

[Note: The Rejuvenating Snow Skin Pill is formulated from more than ten precious medicinal herbs and can restore a person's youthful appearance within three days.]

The next morning, Zhang Yuxi found Lin Feng in the kitchen, brewing some medicinal herbs. A faint, floral fragrance wafted from the clay pot, a scent so delightfully refreshing it could soothe the soul.

"Honey, are you sick?"

Lin Feng smiled. "Childbirth took a heavy toll on your body. I'm brewing this for you to help restore your vitality."

Zhang Yuxi knew that Lin Feng had some medical knowledge. She walked over and gave him a kiss. "Thank you for all your hard work, honey."

"It's no trouble at all."

Just then, the children started coming downstairs, with Sibao leading the charge. The couple heard the rapid PITTER-PATTER of his footsteps and exchanged a knowing smile.

Definitely Sibao. they both thought.

He ran over, his face a perfect picture of curiosity. "Dad, what's that? It smells amazing!" his expression clearly asking, *Can I have a taste?*

The couple pretended not to notice. Lin Feng put the lid on the pot. "This is medicine for Mom. You can't have any."

Sibao blinked his big eyes. "Daddy, can I just try a little bit?"

"No."

"Not even a tiny sip?"

"No."

Sibao pouted, not ready to give up. "Daddy, what about a teeny, tiny little sip?"

Lin Feng was exasperated. "Sibao, listen, this is medicine. You can't just have it whenever you want!"

Sibao gestured with his fingers, pinching them close together. "Just a little bit! A little bit!"

Seeing Sibao's pitiful expression, Zhang Yuxi's heart melted. "Honey, just let him have one taste."

Erbao popped up out of nowhere. "Dad, I want to try some too! Can I?"

Dabao, ever the responsible one, stood by with eyes full of longing.

Sanbao, who was already stunningly beautiful, just looked perplexed. What's so great about medicine that they all want to taste it? she seemed to wonder.

Dabao came over to greet them. "Dad, Mom, good morning!" Then he went straight to his morning chore: scooping the litter box for Feifei.

The quadruplets all had rotating chores, from cleaning the litter box to other household tasks. Currently, Lin Feng did the cooking while the quadruplets took turns with the dishes: Dabao on Monday, Erbao on Tuesday, and so on. On Saturdays and Sundays, they all pitched in together.

Normally, Lin Feng might have relented, but not this time. He couldn't afford to be soft. This was a reward from the system; how could he possibly let the children have it?

Lin Feng folded his arms. "No. It's medicine, and it's not for you. If you're hungry, Dad will make you something else to eat."

Seeing how firm his father was, Sibao had no choice but to give in, his shoulders slumping in defeat.

"So, what do you want for breakfast today? Dad will make it!"

Sibao's eyes lit up, and he immediately rattled off a long list of his favorite dishes.

"No problem! Now, everyone out of the kitchen!"

After breakfast, Lin Feng poured a bowl of the medicine for Zhang Yuxi.

"Honey, why are you staring at me?"

"I'm worried Sibao might sneak over and try to drink it!"

Zhang Yuxi was speechless.

Sibao didn't try to steal a sip from the bowl. Instead, he snuck into the kitchen to find the source. But Lin Feng, as if he had predicted this, had already hidden the pot. Sibao searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

As if he'd find it. I hid it in the wine cellar. Lin Feng thought.

Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng watched as Sibao, completely oblivious to their presence, rummaged through all the cabinets. They both looked on with embarrassed expressions, especially Zhang Yuxi. Just moments ago, she had told Lin Feng he was overreacting and that Sibao wouldn't do such a thing. But now, here he was, turning the kitchen upside down.

Zhang Yuxi gave him a look that said, "Honey, should we say something?"

Lin Feng shook his head. *Not yet. Let's watch a little longer.*

Sibao muttered to himself, then stood up and put his hands on his hips. "Hmm, okay. I'm sure of it. Dad must have hidden the medicine somewhere else. It's not in here!"

Lin Feng was left speechless.

Zhang Yuxi glanced at Lin Feng's expression and knew her son had guessed correctly.

Sibao pondered aloud, "So where would Dad hide it? If it's not in the kitchen... could it be in their bedroom?"

Lin Feng cleared his throat, announcing their presence. "What are you doing in here?"

Startled, Sibao spun around. "I... I just came in to wash my hands!"

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi didn't call him out on the obvious lie. Instead, Lin Feng just rinsed out Zhang Yuxi's empty medicine bowl.

Sibao lingered nearby, clearly hoping to see where Lin Feng would put the rest of the medicine.

Lin Feng, knowing full well what he was up to, asked, "Is there anything else?"

Sibao shook his head. "Nope!"

After Sibao finally left, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi both couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Two more days to go. We have to make sure he doesn't find it. This medicine only needs to be taken once a day, anyway.
