After Lin Feng left, Si Bao looked around his room. "It's not that bad, I think it's okay!" he mumbled, comforting himself as he started to tidy up.

When he finished, he was very satisfied.

Previously, when Si Bao's room was messy, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi would help clean it. San Bao would even pitch in occasionally. But now that the quadruplets had grown up and valued their privacy, it was no longer convenient. As a result, Si Bao grew lazier, and his room became progressively messier. On several occasions, Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore and cleaned his son's room himself. Yet, the perfectly clean and tidy room would become a disaster again within half an hour of Si Bao's return. It got to the point where Lin Feng gave up cleaning it for him. Now, with little Xiao Bao in the house, Lin Feng felt it was even more necessary for Si Bao to learn to clean up after himself.

「That morning.」

Lin Feng made breakfast for the children, reminding them that it was getting colder and they should wear more layers.

Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao didn't need the reminder. The one he really needed to tell was Si Bao. As an athlete with high physical activity, Si Bao was susceptible to catching colds from fluctuating temperatures. A long-sleeved shirt with a jacket on top was enough for him. Although young people have high body heat and aren't afraid of the cold, Lin Feng still gave a reminder.

"The weather is getting colder, so you all need to take care of yourselves. We have a baby at home with a weak immune system, you know."

Everyone looked at Si Bao in unison.

Coming back to his senses, Si Bao said, "Alright, I'll put an extra jacket in my backpack."

Over the years, Si Bao had participated in countless competitions, big and small, racking up honors and gold medals. There was no doubt he would make the national team in the future. Perhaps as his athletic abilities grew stronger, his thinking became... simpler. He had been carefree since childhood, and he was even more so now that he was older. He was the child Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi worried about most, the one they had to remind multiple times every single morning before school.

And today was no different.

"Ride your bike slowly, don't run red lights, and don't race against other people, understand?"

"Dad, I'm a freshman in high school. I'm an adult, not a little kid anymore."

Da Bao called him out from the side, "Is that so? Who was it that tried to race someone on their bike last time?"

Si Bao defended himself, "I didn't! I just wanted to catch up to them to see what brand of bike it was."

Lin Feng sighed. "Don't do that again. Go on, did you grab your lunch?"

In the high school division, each classroom had two microwaves. To ensure their children had a balanced diet, parents prepared lunch for them to bring to school every day. After all, most students didn't like the food from the school cafeteria. Even the teachers weren't fond of it and brought their own meals.

Si Bao was no exception. Because of his high activity level, Lin Feng would always pack extra food for him to supplement things like his calcium intake.

After a busy morning sending the kids to school, it was time to bring Zhang Yuxi her postpartum meal.

Upon entering the room, he saw the nanny changing the baby's diaper.

"Let me do it, Auntie. You go and eat."

The nanny felt rather embarrassed. She felt she did so little work around the house that she wouldn't feel right collecting her salary later. So, she had started snatching up any chore she could. Whatever she knew how to do, she would rush to get it done. She even started making little shoes and clothes for the baby. Although they weren't in need of such things, she truly didn't have much else to do. It was because Lin Feng had taken on almost all the work himself.

After changing Xiao Bao's diaper and learning she had already been fed, Lin Feng took her out to sunbathe, fitting her with a little hat to shield her eyes from the sunlight.

He watched from the side while Zhang Yuxi ate; he had already had his meal with the quadruplets.

During her postpartum confinement, Zhang Yuxi had basically nothing to do besides feed the baby. She spent her days eating and sleeping, and in just half a month, she had gained about five or six jin—roughly two and a half to three kilograms. When she had the quadruplets, their finances were tight, so she didn't get to rest properly during her confinement. She had to go right back to work to take care of them. The reason she had maintained such a good figure back then was because she was exhausted from work.

Now, she was comfortably plump. With Lin Feng managing her diet and with so little for her to do, she looked inexplicably adorable with her chubby cheeks.

Just then, Zhang Yuxi eyed the delicious food before her and said while eating, "Honey, once my confinement is over, I need to go on a diet."

Lin Feng, tidying the baby's clothes, replied, "Sure, but no crash dieting."

"Mmm."

The half-month-old Xiao Bao grew cuter by the day. She mostly spent her time eating and sleeping, only making the occasional soft murmur. When she woke from a nap, Lin Feng would give her a massage.

One day, Liu Bo brought over a hundred free-range chicken eggs, fifty goose eggs, and more than ten live chickens and ducks. The chicken coop they had built at Cuihu Villa came in handy once again. The older generation said that goose eggs made children smarter and could even help detoxify the body. In short, the benefits were numerous.

Lin Feng asked, "Do you have enough for your own family?"

"Of course! We have plenty. I've got other things to attend to, so I'll get going."

"Alright, thanks for your hard work."

"Come on, Bro. You're being too formal. There's no need for that between us."

Days passed uneventfully, one much like the last, until the monthly test results were released.

The quadruplets still managed to clinch the top four ranks in the school.

As for Si Bao, however, his results were spectacular. Except for English, his grade in every subject was an absolute disaster. Even his teachers were surprised. After all, during middle school, Si Bao had ranked within the top ten in the entire school. Now, however, he had plummeted straight to 100th place—dead last in the school.

When Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi received the report card, they were quite taken aback.

Teacher Qiao had said, "Well, he is a student-athlete, after all."

The couple initially thought so too, but then they realized his fundamentals were fine. It was just... How to put it? It seemed the boy hadn't paid any attention in class for the entire past month.

Zhang Yuxi frowned. "Honey, maybe you could find some time to tutor him."

She paused, then quickly added, "Actually, never mind. You're so busy all day. I'm just sitting around with nothing to do, so I'll tutor him."

Zhang Yuxi had been complaining about being bored lately, so this was the perfect task for her.

Everyone was surprised to hear that Si Bao's report card was a sea of red. After all, while Si Bao's grades had always lagged a bit behind theirs, the gap had never been this huge.

San Bao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because he has more gym classes and is always training."

Everyone agreed this was probably the reason.

Lin Feng had a talk with Si Bao. "From now on, your mother will help you with your homework. If you don't understand something, just ask. You're only a freshman; we need to build a strong foundation."

With an adult at home to help, there was no need for tutoring classes, which also saved time. These grades would be considered when he applied for the national team in the future.

"Even if you've won a lot of medals and earned many honors, if your grades don't meet the standard, they still won't let you on the national team."

Thoroughly lectured by Lin Feng, Si Bao very proactively agreed to the tutoring sessions.
