Dinner was ready. Lin Feng called the children down to eat.

Next month were the final exams, but the quadruplets weren't feeling much pressure; as long as they performed as usual, everything would be fine.

Midway through the meal, the Little Treasure woke up, waving her tiny hands and babbling away.

The Second Treasure took a few large bites, put down her chopsticks, and announced, "I'm done!"

Zhang Yuxi reminded her, "Don't forget to wipe your mouth."

Last time, someone with an oily mouth—who knows who—had kissed the baby's cheek, leaving it all shiny with grease.

Although Lin Feng didn't advocate for picking up a child the moment they cried, the Little Treasure had four older siblings. As long as they were home, the slightest whimper would have them rushing over to check on her, offering cuddles and comfort.

If you had to ask why the Little Treasure was so spoiled and such a little drama queen, half of it was due to the quadruplets' doting.

The thought of the quadruplets being on vacation and stampeding over each other to take care of the baby was enough to give Lin Feng a headache.

The Second Treasure skillfully changed the baby's diaper, put on a pair of little leggings, and washed her bottom. Only after the Little Treasure was sparkling clean did she pick her up to play.

The Third Treasure finished eating as well. He wiped his mouth, walked over, and said, "Let me hold her for a bit."

The Second Treasure reluctantly handed the baby over to him.

Having the quadruplets help with the baby brought Lin Feng a great deal of convenience, but it also cultivated a number of bad habits in the Little Treasure. For example, she'd start to throw a fit the moment she was sat down. And where did these bad habits come from? They came from the quadruplets spoiling her, of course.

Just as expected, no sooner had the Third Treasure sat down with the baby in his arms than she grew fussy, whimpering and feigning a cry. He quickly stood back up and carried her on a tour around the room, with the Second Treasure trailing behind and teasing her.

Lin Feng sighed. Noticing that Zhang Yuxi had eaten a fair amount today, he said, "Eat some more!"

Zhang Yuxi shook her head. "I can't eat another bite…"

Now that her husband's cooking was getting better and better, she had almost no appetite for food from outside.

That evening, well past bedtime, the Little Treasure was still wide awake and playing. She stared at Lin Feng, her big, grape-like eyes brimming with tears. Her little mouth was puckered in a pout so pitiful it was heartbreaking.

Standing by the crib, Lin Feng said, "Don't look at Daddy like that. Daddy's not going to pick you up!"

Perhaps she understood, because she looked even more aggrieved as silent tears began to trickle down her cheeks. The sight made Lin Feng's heart clench. It was truly difficult for any parent to see their own child looking so wronged. The baby didn't cry out or make a fuss; she just stared at him silently as she wept.

This time, Lin Feng couldn't hold out. He quickly admitted defeat.

"Alright, you win!"

The moment he reached out his hand, she smiled, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.

Lin Feng turned to Zhang Yuxi. "It's a real pity she isn't an actress. She changes her expression faster than you can flip through a book."

Zhang Yuxi teased her daughter in Lin Feng's arms, "Is that so? Does the Little Treasure want to be an actress when she grows up?"

With tears still glistening on her eyelashes, the baby smiled. A child's smile is incredibly healing, especially for a parent.

"The Little Treasure can be whatever she wants when she grows up. Mommy and Daddy will always support you!" Zhang Yuxi said, before kissing the baby's hand. "Honey, her nails need to be trimmed."

Lin Feng took a look. "Alright. We'll do it after she wakes up."

The baby's energy arguably surpassed that of the quadruplets. It wasn't noticeable in the first month, but she gradually became more active in the second. By the third month, she could roll over and lift her head without any trouble and would even play with her toys by herself for a while. When she got tired, she would fall into a deep slumber in an adult's arms. If placed in her crib, however, she would fuss and refuse to sleep for a long time.

After Lin Feng held her for about twenty minutes, her eyelids began to droop. One tiny hand clutched his collar while the other rested on her small face, her even breathing filling the quiet room.

Seeing that Zhang Yuxi was still awake, Lin Feng whispered, "Honey, come here for a second!"

Zhang Yuxi came over. "What's up?"

"Shine your phone's flashlight here. I'm going to clip her nails."

"Okay."

The baby lay in the crib as Zhang Yuxi held the light and Lin Feng held the baby nail clippers. It was a delicate task that Zhang Yuxi didn't dare attempt herself.

Lin Feng then switched to a pair of clippers designed for toenails and was completely charmed by the baby's tiny feet. They weren't even as big as his palm; they were just too adorable. He couldn't resist giving them a kiss. They smelled so sweet.

The baby's toes wiggled, and her hand grasped at the air as if searching for something. Lin Feng quickly placed her little toy in her hand. Clutching it, she fell asleep with a look of pure contentment.

「In the blink of an eye, the quadruplets were about to face their final exams.」

Lin Feng made dinner and waited for them at home. When the children returned, he didn't ask about the tests. "Your mom will be home soon. Go wash your hands and have some fruit."

He observed that the Fourth Treasure's expression was a bit grim. He probably didn't do well on his exams.

Sure enough, after washing his hands, the Fourth Treasure came over and said, "Dad, I didn't do very well this time."

Lin Feng just said, "Oh. As long as you tried your best and answered everything seriously, the score doesn't matter."

The Fourth Treasure was clearly unhappy. It looks like he really did do poorly to have the usually cheerful boy this down.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Was it… really that bad?"

Looking rather pitiful, the Fourth Treasure admitted, "I… I forgot to write my name on the test."

Pfft, that really was careless.

Lin Feng comforted him, "Don't worry. Maybe the teacher will recognize your test paper."

The Fourth Treasure's spirits lifted immediately. "Oh, right! Then my Chinese score can't possibly be a zero! Yay!"

Watching the boy walk away cheerfully, Lin Feng felt completely unbothered, even a little amused. Compared to other children, the Fourth Treasure's academic abilities weren't as strong, but his athletic talents were outstanding. And that's fine. Passing grades are good enough. What's important is that he has the right attitude toward learning. The Fourth Treasure was the typical "all brawn, no brains" type. He'd be fine once he got over this little hurdle.

And he was. After dinner, he followed the Eldest and Second Treasures to the training room to practice Taekwondo. The three of them hadn't sparred together in a long time. The Third Treasure, meanwhile, waited for the baby to fall asleep before going off to do his own thing.

The Eldest Treasure's laboratory was finished with its renovations, all done with high-safety-rated materials. Still, Lin Feng wasn't at ease and decided they should let it air out for a while before using it.

The exam results would be released in a week. This time, the family discussed taking a trip to Sanya. The last time they'd gone to Jingcheng, it had been inconvenient because Zhang Yuxi was pregnant. This time, they all agreed, the whole family had to go together.
