It was twelve o'clock at noon. Lin Feng was about to start cooking when the doorbell suddenly rang. He put down the kitchen knife and walked to the villa's entrance, where he found a father and son duo.

Lin Feng invited them in. The two men took a quick look around, then pulled out a blueprint and sketched the layout of the villa.

"Boss, I just took a look," the father said. "You'll need cameras on all four corners outside, plus one at the entrance."

"As for the inside, aside from the bathrooms and bedrooms, the rest depends on your needs."

Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Just install a few in the living room, the nursery, and the villa's hallways," he decided. "My main goal is to be able to check on the babies when I'm out, and also to guard against thieves and such."

The father and son nodded, then discussed the details with him further. For the equipment, they recommended Hikvision, the best brand on the market. Each camera cost 1,800 yuan, including installation. After all, for someone living in a villa this big, money probably isn't an issue.

Lin Feng had actually looked into surveillance equipment the previous night, so he was familiar with the brand.

"Alright," he agreed. "How many cameras will be needed for the whole setup?"

The installer counted on his fingers. "A villa this large will probably need about nine cameras."

Nine cameras would come to 16,000 yuan. To Lin Feng, that sum was nothing.

"Let's make it ten," Lin Feng said after a pause. "I want to use the extra one at the store."

"No problem!" the installer replied enthusiastically. "I'll have my son start running the wiring here while I go get the cameras."

"Okay."

The installer hurried off, leaving his son to get busy.

Lin Feng went upstairs to check on the babies. They were all sleeping soundly, showing no signs of needing a feed. He quietly closed the door and returned to the living room to supervise.

The young man was meticulous, working earnestly and diligently. From start to finish, he didn't say a word to Lin Feng, just focused on the task at hand.

Lin Feng took a bottle of soda from the fridge and handed it to him. "Here, have a Coke."

The young man was startled, not expecting the offer. "Thank you..." he said, a bit embarrassed. He said nothing more and continued laying the wires throughout the villa.

Before long, the installer returned with the surveillance cameras. Lin Feng glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock. He stood up and spoke to the father and son. "Sirs, let's take a break for lunch. You can get back to work this afternoon."

As he spoke, Lin Feng started walking toward the kitchen, planning to cook for them. The installer saw this and quickly stopped him.

"Boss, there's no need to go to all that trouble. We brought our own lunch."

Jobs in villas like this one often took a full day, so they always came prepared. They took out their lunchboxes and began to eat. The meal consisted of stir-fried pork with chili, Chinese lettuce, salted duck eggs, and a large helping of rice. The spread was quite varied, if a bit dry.

Lin Feng asked, "Would you like some beer?"

The father and son shook their heads vigorously. "No... no need!"

Lin Feng smiled, walked into the kitchen, and cooked himself a bowl of noodles.

「Elsewhere.」

After her last class, Zhang Yuxi returned to her office, ready for lunch. When Han Wen saw Zhang Yuxi take out that long-awaited lunch box, her eyes lit up. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Like an eager puppy, she sidled up to Zhang Yuxi. "Teacher Zhang, can I share with you?"

Zhang Yuxi smiled helplessly. "Of course, you can!"

Tang Xiufen was on leave today, which meant Han Wen had one less competitor. A wave of joy washed over her. She quickly grabbed her chopsticks and began to dig in.

"Mmm! My brother-in-law's cooking is still as amazing as ever!"

Zhang Yuxi laughed. "Eat up. We have a meeting later."

The school had its own cafeteria, but it was the after-school rush hour, so going there would mean waiting in a long line. Besides, the quality of the food was nothing to write home about. It wasn't just the teachers; even the students weren't very keen on eating there. But limited by their budgets, they had no choice but to submit to the cafeteria ladies.

In the afternoon, after her final class, Zhang Yuxi drove home and noticed an unfamiliar car parked by the door. Looking through the window, she saw a dirty work uniform and several cameras on the seat. They must be here to install the surveillance system.

She glanced up at the villa and saw that cameras had indeed been installed on all four corners and by the front door. The cameras weren't operating yet, however. They must not be fully installed.

Zhang Yuxi went inside. "Honey, I'm home."

BANG, BANG, BANG echoed from the nursery. Lin Feng was sitting on the sofa, playing with the four babies.

"You're back?" he said. "An Lan called just now. She said she'll be back for dinner. Can you watch the babies while I go cook?"

"Okay, honey!"

The noise from upstairs wasn't loud enough to scare the babies. In fact, they seemed quite curious about it. The second baby, in particular, was staring with his big, dark eyes, watching with rapt attention.

Before long, a weary-looking An Lan returned.

"I'm exhausted," she declared. "Quick, let me get my dose of baby!"

She picked up the eldest baby, inhaled his milky scent deeply, and her expression immediately brightened.

"Ah! I'm revived!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yuxi was utterly speechless. Other people huff cats, but you huff babies?

Amused by An Lan, the eldest baby giggled and reached for her hair. An Lan deftly dodged his grasp and placed him back in the crib. She found the milky scent of the babies incredibly comforting.

Just then, the banging from upstairs stopped. The father and son came downstairs and were momentarily stunned by the sight of the two beautiful women in the living room. One was a cool beauty, while the other was charmingly alluring. And their figures were exceptional.

Not daring to stare, they took out their equipment and began testing the villa's cameras. After running a full systems check and finding no issues, they prepared to pack up and leave.

At that moment, Lin Feng emerged from the kitchen carrying several dishes. The delicious aroma made the father and son suddenly feel hungry.

"Sirs, why don't you stay for a meal before you go?" Lin Feng offered.

They were about to refuse but found themselves unable to resist the temptation of the food before them.

"Well... if you insist!"

The father and son took their seats and began to eat with gusto. They both felt it was the best meal they had ever had in their lives.

The installer's son stole a glance at Lin Feng, his face filled with envy. He's so young and already so wealthy. His cooking is amazing, and his wife is as beautiful as a fairy. It's true what they say, comparison is the thief of joy!

After dinner, the installer showed Lin Feng how to access the surveillance footage, check history records, and use the other features. Zhang Yuxi also took out her phone to look at the feed, which was crystal clear.

This is great... From now on, I can check in on the babies even when I'm at work.

An Lan, however, refused to install the app on her phone. Her reason was, "You two are always so lovey-dovey at home. What if I accidentally see something... not safe for work? That would be so awkward..."
