At last, the results of the school exchange program were announced. Second Treasure and Third Treasure were selected. Although Eldest Treasure was a bit disappointed, he accepted it gracefully. Fourth Treasure wasn't envious at all; he was just excited to have two new friends come to stay.
The exchange was with a well-known, elite high school abroad. Lin Feng was worried about his children, so Zhao Lizhen readily volunteered to accompany them. Lin Feng owned a house in New York from his time there, and it was conveniently located not far from the school. The children could have lunch on campus, but if they chose to eat at home, the house was only a fifteen-minute drive or three subway stops away.
However, Third Treasure rejected the opportunity. She had only signed up because her older brother and sister had, and she was simply curious to see what it was like. She wasn't particularly desperate to go; she could take it or leave it. So, she immediately gave the spot to Eldest Treasure.
And so, Eldest Treasure and Second Treasure became the exchange students. Lin Feng only found out later but didn't say anything, as he respected his children's choices.
「Three days later」
On a Sunday morning, they left Yangcheng. Originally, with Second Treasure and Third Treasure selected to go, Lin Feng had been uneasy about Third Treasure. Now that Eldest Treasure was going in her place, he felt much more at ease.
Eldest Treasure and Second Treasure were both trained in Taekwondo. Second Treasure had also taken a liking to self-defense, and the siblings all practiced together. Eldest Treasure, meanwhile, had gotten into boxing, and Lin Feng had even found him a professional boxer as a coach. Even Third Treasure had picked some up through exposure, making her a bit of a dabbler. But in this respect, Eldest Treasure was already exceptional. Therefore, with the two of them going, Lin Feng was very reassured.
They met their classmates at the airport, and the family saw the two children off. Lin Feng and his wife gave them repeated instructions.
"At school, look after each other. If there are any problems, contact your teacher…"
"Don't eat too much food from outside, don't smoke or drink! Remember, and more importantly, don't touch anything you shouldn't. Understand?"
Lin Feng wasn't worried about their physical safety. He knew that at their age, children were full of curiosity and a desire to explore the dazzling outside world. He worried that without him there, they might get captivated by it.
The quadruplets were mentally far more mature than their peers and understood exactly what Lin Feng meant. They promised over and over to be obedient and not get into trouble.
This time, in addition to the parents, teachers had also come to see them off. The adults watched the children board the plane before finally leaving the airport.
「Back at home」
Lin Feng began preparing the rooms for the two new friends who were about to arrive. With plenty of rooms available, he cleaned up two guest rooms and waited for their guests to arrive that evening.
「That evening」
Lin Feng drove to the airport. The other host families from the exchange program were already there waiting. As the father of quadruplets, Lin Feng was well-known in the school community. Furthermore, since all his children were outstanding, there were very few parents who didn't know him.
The group of parents chatted, their expressions filled with concern as they worried that their own children wouldn't acclimate well abroad. This exchange was an opportunity for the children to grow and improve academically. While there were fewer students from the ninth grade and high school, most participants were from the seventh and eighth grades.
As they chatted, the flight arrived. A teacher came over, leading a few high school students. The foreign students seemed much more mature than their own children, both in dress and demeanor. The families each claimed their exchange student and headed home.
The students staying with the Lin family were a boy named Li Long and a girl named Lili. In the car, they chatted softly with each other.
"Wow, this man is so handsome. Who would have thought he's actually a dad?"
"Is it just me, or is this car really nice? It's super cool!"
"Are you even listening to me?"
Lin Feng called Zhang Yuxi. "Yeah, I've picked them up. We should be home in about twenty minutes."
The two students were cheerful and, after a moment, began to chat with Lin Feng on their own. Lin Feng could speak seven languages, so communicating with them was effortless. The girl, Lili, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.
"Wow, your accent is amazing!" Li Long said with a smile.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the small estate.
Li Long smiled. "Nice, the environment here is great."
They attended elite schools and came from wealthy families. Li Long looked around the yard. "This garden is interesting. Do you grow your own vegetables?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Yes."
Li Long is outgoing. He should get along well with Fourth Treasure.
Compared to him, Lili seemed a bit more introverted—at least, she wasn't talking much for now.
To welcome them, the family had prepared a small ceremony, which left them feeling both flattered and a little overwhelmed.
When Li Long saw Zhang Yuxi and Third Treasure, he was amazed. "You are all so beautiful," he said, turning to Zhang Yuxi. "And you, ma'am, are incredibly elegant."
Zhang Yuxi smiled slightly, graciously accepting the compliment. "Thank you."
Lili, however, stared at Third Treasure, stunned. She suddenly exclaimed, "Are you the famous violin prodigy, Lin Yuanyuan?"
Third Treasure had appeared in magazines, been featured by journalists, and performed at countless concerts. She was already a very famous young musician whose talent and skill were universally acknowledged. The family wasn't surprised that Lili recognized her.
Third Treasure smiled slightly. "Hello."
Lili covered her mouth in excitement. "Do you know? I haven't missed a single one of your performances! OMG, I can't believe I'm meeting you in person! This is unbelievable!"
Third Treasure's immense talent, combined with her low-key nature, made her seem very mysterious. Lili never imagined she would be so lucky. Being an exchange student and ending up in her idol's house was simply magical.
Third Treasure politely said, "Thank you!"
Lili immediately took out her phone, transforming into a total fangirl. "Can I take a picture with you? I'm going to post it on Instagram and Twitter! I want everyone to know that I finally got to meet my idol!"
Third Treasure nodded. "Okay."
Lili eagerly snapped the photo and immediately posted it to Instagram and Twitter with the caption: *OMG, this is unbelievable! Look, everyone! I finally got to meet my idol!* She included the picture of the two of them, along with a candid photo of Third Treasure at home.
Immediately, the replies and likes started soaring.
*"Oh my god, is that for real?"*
*"You really met her?! Congrats!"*
*"Thank you for letting us see our idol at home! She's so beautiful and still so elegant!"*
*"Girl, she's my idol too! I started playing the violin because of her! Too bad I'm not as lucky as you."*
*"I just want to know, how did you do it?!"*
*"My heavens, why is she so gorgeous?"*
*"Can you ask if she has a boyfriend for me?"*
*"I remember she has three siblings! The whole family is full of geniuses!"*
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Lili was no stranger to high society. She also quickly recognized Second Treasure. Second Treasure was even more famous than Third Treasure, all because of her looks.
In public, Second Treasure's beauty was often described as that of an angel fallen to earth. She had immense popularity, and countless boys adored her.
