The Youth Olympic Games had 26 major sports, including swimming, archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing, rowing, cycling, and taekwondo. Later, the number grew to 35 major sports, while the Winter Youth Olympic Games added seven more, such as skiing and ice hockey.

This year's Winter Youth Olympics were scheduled to start on February 12th and end on the 21st.

Upon learning there was a taekwondo competition, Er Bao had Teacher Qiao sign her up as well. Since Er Bao and Si Bao were both going, Da Bao, as their eldest brother, decided to go along. After all, the three of them had started learning taekwondo together. Although Er Bao later became engrossed in crafting and didn't continue training with them, her natural talent was by no means inferior to that of the two boys.

Si Bao began training at school, where Teacher Qiao found them a renowned taekwondo black belt master from Yangcheng. With school letting out on January 24th, they had half a month to train before the competition. During this period, Lin Feng stayed in Yangcheng to take care of the children's daily needs, while Zhang Yuxi took San Bao to Modu for her own practice. San Bao's performance was scheduled for February 25th, perfectly timed so everyone could attend the Youth Olympics first and then go watch her perform.

When the teachers in Da Bao and Er Bao's class learned they were participating in the Youth Olympics, they and all the students left messages wishing them the best. They hoped the siblings would achieve great results and bring glory to their country. Originally, Er Bao and Da Bao just wanted to participate casually and exchange pointers with other competitors. Suddenly, they felt immense pressure and began to train with even more intensity.

「By February 10th」

Si Bao, Da Bao, and Er Bao flew to Brazil on a chartered flight with Teacher Qiao's team, while Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi took a separate commercial flight. They had already booked a family suite in the same hotel where the children were staying.

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had bought their tickets long ago, securing seats very close to the front. Thanks to their good relationship with Teacher Qiao, who pulled some strings, the couple could watch the events clearly without binoculars. Nevertheless, they bought a pair anyway.

This was their first time attending the Youth Olympic Games, and Teacher Qiao had enrolled Si Bao in multiple events: taekwondo, swimming, skiing, athletics, fencing, and equestrian. Amidst the sea of uniformed athletes, they couldn't spot their own children at all. Thankfully, they had prepared binoculars, which now proved to be very useful.

Spotting his children in the crowd, Lin Feng, the proud father, became very excited. "I see them! I see the kids!"

Zhang Yuxi saw them too, a happy smile spreading across her face. "I see them too!"

The opening ceremony concluded in the morning, and the official competitions began that afternoon. This month, this year, held great significance for the Lin family. For the next ten days of competition, they were merely spectators. Parents would only be allowed to meet with their children after the events were over.

The first gold medal Si Bao won was in equestrian. As he stood on the podium, tears welled up in his parents' eyes. Despite Si Bao's cheerful personality, he was incredibly hardworking beneath his sunny exterior. Thinking about him training alone at school, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi tried to give him as much care and attention as possible. Lin Feng would pick Si Bao up, walk with him around campus, and sometimes arrive early just to watch him train.

All of their children were earnest and diligent. As Teacher Qiao said, "Si Bao is a talented child. What's even rarer is that he not only possesses talent but also has the heart to strive and work hard."

Once, when Si Bao developed a blister on his foot, the entire family was deeply concerned. Every member of their family cherished and cared for one another. San Bao even took a day off from her practice so the whole family could gather together to cheer for Si Bao's victory.

Next was the 50-meter swimming event. Si Bao barely made it to the finals; his opponents were incredibly strong. The night before the final race, Lin Feng called him. "When you face strong opponents, don't let yourself feel any psychological pressure…" The father and son talked for a long time that night.

The following day, Si Bao won the gold medal by a slim margin of one second. This was his second gold, and it instantly turned him into a focal point of the games.

After that came athletics, where he successfully reached the finals. During the final race, Si Bao was trailing in fourth place, but he remained calm. On the last lap, he suddenly accelerated, his feet moving as if they were rocket-powered. Having held a steady fourth place, he began overtaking his competitors one by one. After competing in swimming and equestrian, anyone would be exhausted. Everyone assumed the boy had likely run out of stamina and this was as far as he would go. To their astonishment, Si Bao found a final burst of strength, surpassing the leader in the last few seconds to snatch his third gold medal.

Just when everyone thought Si Bao would also win the Taekwondo gold, he unexpectedly only took bronze. The gold medal went to Er Bao! Another bronze medal went to Da Bao! And so, the three siblings stood together on the awards podium.

The host asked in English, "Your names are so similar. Are you brothers?"

Er Bao smiled faintly and replied in fluent English, "That's right. He's my older brother, and this is my younger brother."

"Triplets? Wow!" the host exclaimed.

"Not triplets, quadruplets!" Er Bao corrected cheerfully. "I'm the second oldest! I have another younger brother and a younger sister!"

A murmur went through the crowd. Gosh, three siblings on the same podium together! How incredible!

Next up were fencing and skiing. In fencing, Si Bao once again demonstrated his prowess and captured another gold medal. On the final day, the skiing competition was held at a man-made venue. To help Si Bao practice skiing, Lin Feng had previously taken them to Hokkaido, where he had no trouble with the advanced slopes. Teacher Qiao had initially thought skiing was just a hobby for Si Bao and didn't sign him up for it. Si Bao added it himself later, reasoning, "I can give it a try!"

So, a try it was. In terms of height and build, Si Bao had a natural advantage; he just lacked experience. Coach Qiao wasn't an expert in this area, so he hired professional foreign coaches. The first coach noted Si Bao's talent, taught him for a while, and then departed. Later, Lin Feng spent a considerable sum to hire a retired and highly experienced coach for his son.

In the final race, Si Bao once again narrowly defeated his competitor to win the gold medal.

By now, almost everyone knew the name Lin Anan. He had achieved the proud result of five gold medals and one bronze medal.

After his earlier victories, media outlets had tried to interview Si Bao, but Teacher Qiao had turned them away, worried it would distract him. Now that all the competitions were over, Teacher Qiao asked Si Bao if he wanted to accept an interview.

Si Bao thought for a moment. "Forget it, there's no need."

Teacher Qiao was a little surprised. "Why not?"

"I just needed to compete well. They'll just ask a bunch of questions and take photos. It's annoying."

Teacher Qiao truly admired this about Si Bao. He had a clear head and didn't get cocky or show off after winning.

"Alright, I'll turn them all down for you then."

"Thank you, Teacher!"
