My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

A busy day began.

A netizen posted a video on Weibo, which was a recording of a brief, ten-second chat with the quadruplets. Their candor touched many netizens, who felt they couldn't be more real.

After waking up, Lin Feng paid special attention to the news, particularly the trending topics. He smiled at his sons' candid remarks. If this matter continued to escalate, he would have to use his connections with the authorities to suppress it.

Zhang Yuxi came downstairs carrying Little Treasure. "Honey, the weather is nice today," she said. "An Lan called me just now and suggested we go out for a walk."

Lin Feng had no objections and started to get ready. With his Space Ring, he didn't need to prepare much.

They agreed to meet at a park, where An Lan and her son, Cai Cai, had already been waiting for some time. Ever since adopting a more laid-back approach to parenting, An Lan felt that the air outside was fresher and that some things just weren't worth obsessing over.

Help with homework? Heh, why should I be the one to tutor them? Do I have a death wish? Wouldn't it be better to send them to a tutoring center? It's not like our family is short on money.

In the past, she had always worried about whether her two sons could take care of themselves, fretting over this and that. She ran herself ragged and was still driven mad by them. Now, it was time for them to learn independence and for the older brother to look after the younger one.

See? Taking a step back puts everything into perspective.

An Lan and Zhang Yuxi chatted while a stroller sat nearby with Little Treasure sleeping inside. Lin Feng, meanwhile, took Cai Cai to play some games.

An Lan laughed. "Did you know? The quadruplets are on the trending list."

"I know," Zhang Yuxi said. "The internet is so developed now. It seems Second Treasure, Third Treasure, and Fourth Treasure won't be able to escape the media's attention in the future." The thought still worried her, as the internet is full of all sorts of unsavory characters.

An Lan comforted her. "Don't overthink it. The boys are strong-willed kids, not as fragile as you imagine. Besides, they're destined for great things, so they have to go through some challenges, right?"

Zhang Yuxi told herself the same thing to find comfort.

"You mentioned hiring a nanny before. Why haven't I seen any movement on that?"

"Oh, I scrapped that plan. If your husband, Lin Feng, can take care of six children without any issues, why should I hire a nanny for just two? Are you looking down on me?"

"Six? How are there six?"

"Aren't you counted as one?"

"..."

An Lan had just come out to get some sun and let the kids absorb some calcium; shopping and other activities no longer interested her. She couldn't help but wonder if she was getting old.

Zhang Yuxi looked into the distance. "Lin Feng says that when a person can control their desire to consume, it's not because they're getting old, but because they've matured."

An Lan thought about it and realized he had a point.

"For the New Year, are we going back to Meicheng or staying in Modu?"

"It depends on when Third Treasure's concert is."

An Lan got nosy again. "Oh, right, any news from Director Lin's two brothers?"

"About what?"

"Didn't they say they were teaming up to have daughters? Any progress on that front?"

"How could I possibly ask about something like that? But if there's any news, Lin Feng will tell me. What about you?"

At the mention of this, An Lan scoffed. "Liu Bo hasn't given up, but of course, I'm refusing."

Are you kidding me? My life has just gotten back on track. Getting pregnant again would throw everything into chaos!

She had negotiated with Liu Bo: she would only agree to have another child if they could guarantee it was a girl. Liu Bo had called her unreasonable.

Right. He's not the one giving birth, and he's not the one taking care of the kids! Who was it that ended up in the emergency room from the stress of tutoring? Me! In any case, I've made up my mind. I'm not having a third child. He can keep dreaming!

In the stroller, the baby began to hum and fuss, a sign she was waking up. Zhang Yuxi changed her daughter's diaper and began to nurse her.

An Lan watched enviously. "Look at Little Treasure. She's going to be a real beauty when she grows up."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain about her own two sons. "Guo Guo and Cai Cai are getting uglier by the day. They were somewhat cute when they were little, but damn, they're so ugly now. Especially Guo Guo, with his face full of pimples, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhang Yuxi couldn't be bothered with her. "Oh, shut up. Your two kids are perfectly fine. Why do you insist on calling them ugly? Are you blind?"

An Lan's eyes widened. "Compared to your little one, they're definitely ugly."

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Well, in that case, yes, they are."

"...Bullshit!"

That's how parents are. They can say whatever they want about their own kids, but it's a different story if someone else does. As noon approached, An Lan stood up. "Let's go find a place to eat nearby." She took out her phone to search. "Let me see what good eats we have around here."

Zhang Yuxi was breastfeeding, so there were some things she couldn't eat, since it would be passed to the baby through her milk. Going for stewed dishes would be the best choice.

The quadruplets had been busy all morning. When they opened their bento boxes, the food was still hot, a testament to the quality of the containers. The two grandmothers sat down to eat with Second Treasure and Third Treasure.

"This smells wonderful. Did your mom make this?"

Second Treasure and Third Treasure had different dishes to allow for more variety.

Second Treasure smiled. "My mom can't cook at all. She can only make instant noodles, and sometimes she even blows up the kitchen. It might be hereditary. My maternal grandmother isn't much of a cook either. Any clay pot she touches is bound to explode. The best cook in our family is our dad. His skills are incredible."

The two grandmothers were amazed.

Second Treasure served some food to one of the grandmothers. "Here, Grandma, try some of my dad's cooking."

Compared to Second Treasure, Third Treasure was much quieter. He wasn't very sociable, but he wasn't antisocial either, much like Zhang Yuxi.

The old grandmother kept praising how delicious Lin Feng's food was.

Second Treasure was even happier than if he had been praised himself. "See? I wasn't wrong, my dad is a really good cook."

First Treasure and Fourth Treasure both had large appetites, especially since one of them was a real foodie. To make sure his sons had enough to eat, Lin Feng had packed three bento boxes for them. Third Treasure had the smallest appetite of the four; one box was enough for him.

Beneath the online video of the quadruplets, malicious comments began to appear.

"Heh, I have to laugh. They're all so hypocritical, aren't they?"

"Just this month, my three friends and I were beaten up by them! We have a video for proof. See for yourself, the link is below!"

The issue had already been dying down, but now, the controversy was reignited. People eagerly clicked on the link, which led to the video of the assault in Sanya. The three people mentioned in the comment were indeed the three individuals in the footage. The video was short, starting right with the scene of the quadruplets violently beating the three men.

The comment section immediately erupted.

The reactions fell into three main camps: those who believed it, those who didn't, and those who were just there for the drama.

"No way, is this for real? I really like the quadruplets!"

"To those who already picked a side, just wait for the truth to come out. This whole thing clearly isn't that simple. Why would they attack someone for no reason?"

"Exactly, this video seems taken out of context. I'll just sit back and watch how this unfolds."

"Ha, so they really are skilled fighters, huh? Four against three. So impressive!"

It was obvious that some people in the comments were steering the narrative, all of them attacking the quadruplets. Some even went to the official page of the brand Second Treasure had signed with, demanding they terminate their contract. Others contacted the sports association, hoping they would expel Fourth Treasure.

Soon, however, people began to smell something fishy. The internet isn't what it used to be. Audiences are sharp enough to see through orchestrated campaigns trying to ruin someone's reputation. For a short video to cause such an uproar, the situation was definitely not simple—there had to be someone pulling the strings.
