In the blink of an eye, it was time for the first monthly exam.

The kids said they felt no pressure, as the questions were a breeze. When the results came out, they had all performed exceptionally well.

At the parent-teacher conference, the teachers announced the rankings. The eldest was first in his class. The second and third siblings were first and second in their class, respectively.

In the grade-wide rankings, the eldest placed first, the second placed third, and the third placed fifth.

First, third, and fifth… what a lineup, Lin Feng thought, stunned. Did they plan this?

Three of the top ten spots in the entire school were occupied by his children, as were the top two spots in their class. To top it off, the fourth sibling consistently ranked first in sports.

Suddenly, the quadruplets became famous.

The teacher asked the children's parents to come up and share their educational methods. This was Yangcheng No. 5 Middle School, after all; achieving such results here was an incredibly formidable feat! Instantly, the other parents in the class stared at Lin Feng with burning intensity, eager for him to share his secrets.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, no one believed him. They were all sure he was holding something back.

Are you kidding me? Who doesn't send their kids to tutoring or hire a private tutor these days? What kid goes to bed before 8:30 p.m.? And since when are children so independent? Who does he think he's fooling?

Lin Feng knew they didn't believe him, but he was telling the truth.

The teacher coughed lightly. "I believe what this parent said is true."

"As far as I know, for the past month, they have completed all their homework before leaving school. This was beyond my expectations. And what's more… as soon as class ends, the eldest heads straight out to play basketball."

"The other two children from their family go straight to the music room to play the piano after class… and their grades are still outstanding."

"And not just outstanding—they rank within the top five in the entire grade!"

Damn, that's just raw talent! the parents thought collectively. There's no competing with that!

As Yangcheng's top-ranked middle school with the highest matriculation rate, No. 5 naturally had a heavier academic workload. Other schools dismissed at 5:30 p.m., but theirs dismissed at 6:30 p.m. and also started half an hour earlier.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Lin Feng wanted to drive the children to school. In response, they suggested he only needed to drive the fourth sibling, who lived the farthest away. The eldest could give the third a ride, and the second could ride her own bike.

But Lin Feng was worried. The wind howled outside, and it was the dead of winter. They have to leave before dawn… How can I not feel heartbroken?

Therefore, after consulting a teacher, he learned that while children were allowed to ride electric bikes, the school didn't encourage it. After much deliberation, he decided against buying them.

Zhang Yuxi couldn't stand it anymore. "Honey, the kids are growing up. They can handle a bit of hardship."

"They're not flowers in a greenhouse; independence is important!"

"Besides, the kids haven't complained about the cold, so let's just let them be."

Lin Feng nodded.

Zhang Yuxi hugged him, understanding exactly how he felt. After raising them from two-month-old babies to middle schoolers, it was only natural to feel uneasy as they prepared to leave the nest.

Ever since the kids started middle school, Lin Feng had been anxious for a full two months. Luckily, he had his Skills to cope; otherwise, he would have started losing his hair from stress.

It took three months for Lin Feng to finally get used to it. No, that's not right. I've finally admitted that the kids have grown up!

「The midterm exams.」

This time, the second child was the top scorer, placing first in the entire school. The eldest fell behind by five points but still maintained his position as first in his class and second in the school. The third child held onto second place in her class, right behind her sister, and ranked fourth in the school overall.

Looking at the ranking list on campus, the eldest said, "If our third sister tries a bit harder, the top three would all be from our family."

A family should be complete and orderly! And that applied to exams, too.

Even with talent, you still had to work hard.

With the final exams approaching, the second child stopped doing her crafts; this time, she was determined to achieve a 'complete and orderly' ranking with her siblings.

No one was scared of anything except the second child getting serious. Once she buckled down, everyone else had reason to worry!

And so, except for the fourth sibling, the three of them began to secretly compete. The third child stopped practicing the piano, while the eldest and second stopped going out for fun.

It was time to hit the books.

Lin Feng was bemused, but a love for learning was a good thing! As a parent, he naturally had to encourage it, on top of providing nutritious meals and excellent care.

The teachers of both classes were very pleased and often said to their students, "Do you see that? Isn't it terrifying? The people who are better than you are also working harder than you! You should all start studying too. Who knows, maybe you'll beat them?"

The students could only think, Teacher, please wake up and smell the coffee! We go to cram school every day and do homework past ten, but we still can't beat them! *Sniffle*... Can't you see how hard we're trying?

In her class, the second child was the most popular, as everyone would come to her with questions they couldn't solve.

As soon as the teacher entered the classroom, she announced, "From now on, if you have questions, ask me or the class monitor. Don't bother the second child."

The second child had a face so beautiful it was almost unreal, combined with an endearing personality that made people want to protect her. The teacher doted on this child. Don't ask why—it's simply because she's an adorable little thing!

After the final exams, the only differences in their scores came from deductions in the Chinese reading comprehension and their essays. Their math answers were identical. Now, all they could do was wait for the results.

Lin Feng took the kids out to have fun and relax a bit, but they had already made plans with friends from their classes.

Lin Feng felt a mix of emotions. He transferred three thousand to each of them via WeChat and told them to have a great time.

The four children left home together.

Zhang Yuxi smiled and said, "Be safe, and come back early tonight."

Turning around, she saw Lin Feng looking like an abandoned puppy and coaxed him.

"Honey, take me out to play too!"

Lin Feng wrapped his arms around his wife. "Sure! I'll take you out. Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you. I'd be happy even just going for a walk in our neighborhood."

Lin Feng chuckled.

They only had to wait three days to get their report cards.

For these three days, the quadruplets had a blast playing with their classmates. Meanwhile, Lin Feng happily went shopping with his wife, enjoying their time as a couple. With time to spare, he even taught Zhang Yuxi how to cook. With him around, there was no chance of a kitchen disaster!

After three days of fun, the children went to get their report cards.

At the school entrance, there was an LED screen. It displayed the names of the top one hundred students for all grade levels: the first through third years of junior high and the first through third years of senior high.

For the first-year students, the top scorer was the third child, with the eldest coming in second and the second child taking third. Moreover, there was a staggering eighty-point gap between third place and the student who ranked fourth.

At school, the quadruplets were legendary figures that everyone knew.

The difference between first and second place was three points. Between second and third, it was two points.

Not only were they a complete and orderly family, but their scores were also chasing each other relentlessly.

It was true. There was nothing to fear in this world... except for the third child deciding to get serious. Once she applied herself, there was nothing she couldn't achieve, whether in music or any other field.
