After lunch, Lin Feng brought the babies back to the bedroom on the second floor. Zhang Yuxi followed, changed into loose pajamas, and began to nurse one of them.
During a break in the feeding, Zhang Yuxi looked at Lin Feng, her expression puzzled. "What's the deal with Chuan Chuan?" she asked. "How did he suddenly get better?"
Lin Feng smiled. "Didn't I tell you? A miracle happened!"
That answer wasn't what she wanted.
Lin Feng looked down at Zhang Yuxi and teased, "Didn't this miracle happen to you, too?"
At his words, Zhang Yuxi's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't meet his eyes.
Cradling the second baby, she changed the subject. "Honey, have you noticed? The babies seem completely different once they reach six months old."
"Of course. After six months, they'll change every single day!"
Lin Feng placed the eldest baby on his lap. The little one's legs were already getting strong, and he was even starting to interact with people. If you teased him, he would flap his hands happily.
It wasn't just the eldest; the second and third babies had changed a lot, too. The second baby's cries were louder than before, and the third had gained a bit of weight. Even the fourth baby, who loved to sleep the most, was gradually growing stronger after starting on breast milk. His sleeping time had now shrunk to fifteen hours a day. The babies were all changing at a rate you could see with your own eyes.
Looking at her babies, Zhang Yuxi couldn't help but feel emotional. "Life is truly amazing," she murmured.
"When I was pregnant, I could never have imagined…
"…that I would give birth to four such adorable babies."
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, I deserve some of the credit for that, you know!"
Zhang Yuxi shot him a playful glare.
Then, without bothering to button her pajamas, she lay back on the bed and started playing with the babies. She tickled the eldest's nose, pinched the second's cheeks, stroked the third's head, and patted the fourth's belly.
This feeling… it was pure bliss!
Seeing her, Lin Feng lay down as well, wrapping his arms around her from behind. Just as he was about to make a move, the fourth baby rolled over and sat right on his head.
Zhang Yuxi burst into laughter at the sight.
Lin Feng turned the baby back over, but the little guy was relentless, constantly squirming beside him. His chubby body rolled back and forth like a little meatball, making both Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi roar with laughter.
Their laughter was infectious, and the babies joined in. Though they didn't know what their parents were laughing at, they knew they should laugh along.
After playing for a while, the four babies grew tired.
"Come on, sleep with Daddy," Lin Feng said softly. "Let Mommy get a good nap."
He positioned himself like a mother hen guarding her chicks, shielding the four babies to make sure they wouldn't disturb Zhang Yuxi's sleep. Once on the bed, they fell asleep almost instantly. Only the eldest was still holding on, blinking his eyes and kneading the blanket with his little hand.
Less than half a minute later…
Clutching the blanket tightly, the eldest baby also drifted off to dreamland.
Lin Feng tried to pull the blanket from his son's grip.
Good heavens! It won't budge!
He carefully pried open the eldest's chubby little hand before he could tug the blanket free.
Looks like when the eldest grows up, he'll definitely be a lot stronger than me!
Zhang Fuyong and Zhao Lizhen had intended to go in and see their grandchildren, but upon hearing the laughter from inside, they stopped at the door. After a while, when the room fell silent, the couple tiptoed downstairs. They happened to run into Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan along the way.
"Let's head out," one of them whispered. "The babies are all asleep, and Yuxi is resting too."
"Alright, then. We'll go take a nap as well."
「Half an hour later.」
Lin Feng woke up first and gently patted Zhang Yuxi's shoulder. "Honey, wake up. It's time for your class."
"You little lazy pig, you're going to be late…"
Zhang Yuxi opened her bleary eyes and sat up reluctantly. "What time is it?"
"Almost two in the afternoon."
"Oh."
Zhang Yuxi nodded, then stretched her arms wide with a yawn. As she did, her ample bosom was put on full display for Lin Feng.
Seeing the sight before him, Lin Feng gulped.
When Zhang Yuxi saw him swallow hard, she couldn't help but cover her mouth to hide a snicker.
"Honey, I've discovered something," she said. "As long as I sleep with you, I sleep incredibly well…"
Lin Feng helped pull her pajamas back into place. "So, your husband is a natural sleep aid, huh?"
Zhang Yuxi stuck her tongue out playfully. "Of course!"
"Alright, hurry up and get dressed."
"Mhm."
Zhang Yuxi nodded, got out of bed, and changed her clothes. Then she put on some simple makeup in front of the mirror. Ever since she got together with Lin Feng, her complexion had improved immensely, like a flower caressed by a spring breeze.
"Honey, I'm off to class," Zhang Yuxi said, all ready to go. She picked up her bag to leave.
But Lin Feng stopped her. "The forecast said it might rain today. You should wear more."
With that, he went to the walk-in closet, took out a jacket, and helped her put it on. "The flu is going around, so you need to be careful. If you catch it, you won't be able to breastfeed the babies."
Zhang Yuxi was taken aback. "Is it that serious?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Of course!"
She quickly zipped up the jacket. "Then I definitely can't get the flu!"
The babies' food supply must be protected!
"Honey, you take the car," she said. "I'll ride the electric scooter to class. If I get out early, I'll come find you at the shop."
Lin Feng nodded, reminding her, "Okay, but be careful on the road."
"I will."
After Zhang Yuxi left, Yu Zheng came in with his luggage to say goodbye.
"Lin Feng, I'll remember what you did for Chuan Chuan for the rest of my life," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "If you ever need me for anything, just say the word. As long as it's something I can do, I won't hesitate!"
After speaking, Yu Zheng gave Lin Feng a tight hug before turning and walking away without another word.
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Feng gave a satisfied smile. He knew Yu Zheng wasn't a man of many words, but he understood the sentiment completely.
「Half an hour later.」
Lin Feng packed the baby bottles, formula, diapers, and other necessities into the stroller and then headed downstairs with the babies.
Zhao Lizhen spotted them and hurried over. "My sweet grandbabies, you're awake!"
Zhou Cuilan came over as well. "Let me help you with the stroller."
Downstairs, besides Zhao Lizhen and Zhou Cuilan, Lin Jiajun, Wang Lu, and Sun Rou were also awake and playing with the kids in the living room.
Meanwhile, the older relatives of the Lin family, along with Lin Dashan and Zhang Fuyong, were glued to the TV news, endlessly analyzing the current state of world affairs.
Finally, with Lin Feng taking the lead, the large group drove off in a convoy toward the pedestrian street.
