In the master bedroom's bathroom, Zhang Yuxi changed into her pajamas. Standing before the mirror, she applied a light layer of makeup.
Usually, girls remove their makeup before going to sleep. But Zhang Yuxi knew this was her wedding night with Lin Feng, and she wanted to show him her most perfect side. After finishing her makeup, Zhang Yuxi sprayed a little perfume on herself. Finally, she took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.
At that moment, Lin Feng was half-reclining on the bed. When he saw Zhang Yuxi emerge, he was momentarily stunned.
"Honey, you look so beautiful today!" Lin Feng praised her generously.
The compliment came straight from his heart, with no exaggeration. Zhang Yuxi was indeed exceptionally beautiful, with delicate features, creamy skin, big eyes, a fine nose, and cherry lips. Furthermore, she wore a camisole nightgown that revealed a large expanse of her fair skin, adding a touch of allure and seduction.
At this, Lin Feng's gaze grew fervent.
Zhang Yuxi felt a bit shy, but she still lay down on the bed and whispered to Lin Feng, "Darling, let's go to sleep..."
"Mhm!" Lin Feng nodded and took her into his arms.
It wasn't until deep in the night that an exhausted Zhang Yuxi finally fell asleep. Lin Feng, on the other hand, activated High-Quality Sleep and slept lightly for just an hour, which was enough to fully restore his energy. With this skill, Lin Feng no longer had to worry about getting enough sleep.
「...」
「At seven in the morning.」
Lin Feng woke up. Zhang Yuxi was still in bed, fast asleep.
Lin Feng gazed at Zhang Yuxi's lovely face, leaned in to give her a kiss, and then tiptoed toward the living room. He first went to the adjacent room to check on the babies and found them still sleeping. Then he headed to the kitchen to start making breakfast.
Having not seen their mother all night, the babies soon began to wake up. Before long, the room was filled with the sound of their WAH-WAH crying.
When Zhang Yuxi heard the cries, she woke up instantly, no matter how deeply she had been sleeping. Seeing her, Lin Feng quickly put down what he was doing for breakfast and said, "You go brush your teeth. I'll take care of the babies..."
"Okay, honey. Thank you!" Zhang Yuxi nodded and walked over to give him a sweet kiss. As she hurried off to the bathroom, Lin Feng was left feeling a bit bashful.
After Zhang Yuxi finished getting ready, the four babies had also quieted down.
"Today, Daddy is going to give you a bath," Zhang Yuxi told the four babies. "You all have to be good, okay!"
After breakfast, she had to leave for class. Every time she had to leave home, it felt like torture. She went to the bed, kissed each of the babies in turn, and then instructed Lin Feng, "Sister Wang went out to buy groceries. When she gets back, she'll help you bathe the babies. I'll hurry back right after my class is over."
Seeing her about to leave, Lin Feng felt a pang of reluctance. After last night, their relationship had become much closer.
"Then please hurry back."
Zhang Yuxi nodded, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door.
While the babies were quiet, Lin Feng quickly washed the dishes. Just then, Sister Wang returned from outside, carrying bags of vegetables. She put the groceries in the kitchen, then brought out a special baby bathtub and said to Lin Feng, "In a moment, I'll teach you how to bathe the babies."
With that, Sister Wang led Lin Feng into the babies' room and began to explain, "To bathe the babies, you first need to understand their personalities. San Bao and Si Bao are the best-behaved during bath time, so we usually bathe them first. Er Bao is quite mischievous and tends to splash water everywhere. Da Bao is the most trouble. He might not like water very much, so his baths always take a long time."
After listening to Sister Wang's explanation, Lin Feng was rather surprised. He hadn't expected that Da Bao, the naughtiest and most playful one, would actually be afraid of water.
Walking into the bathroom, Lin Feng filled the tub with water. Then, with Sister Wang's help, he brought the four babies in. From a cabinet, Lin Feng took out baby-specific shower gel, talcum powder, a thermometer, and other necessities. Bathing the babies was clearly a major undertaking.
Lin Feng decided to start with Si Bao, the most well-behaved and least fussy one.
Once he confirmed the water temperature was right, he took out a soft towel, laid it on the changing rack, and then placed Si Bao into the bathtub. The weather was hot, so the babies needed frequent baths. Otherwise, they would be covered in sweat and feel uncomfortable.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
EEH YAH! EEH YAH!
Amidst a flurry of cheerful sounds, Lin Feng quickly finished bathing Si Bao. Sister Wang promptly placed Si Bao onto a towel and began to gently dry his body.
"A baby's skin is very thin, so it's best not to use too much force when you're drying them," Sister Wang advised Lin Feng as she worked. She knew she would be leaving this home in two days, so she wanted to pass on all her child-rearing experience to him.
Sister Wang then picked up Er Bao and handed her to Lin Feng. "Here, you wash Er Bao, and I'll wash San Bao!"
Among the four babies, San Bao and Si Bao had the most similar personalities. They were both the quiet, well-behaved type who minded their own business. Er Bao and Da Bao, however, were naughtier, more boisterous, and prone to tantrums.
Sure enough, the moment Lin Feng took Er Bao in his arms, she started acting up. Her chubby little hands clung tightly to his, refusing to go into the bathtub.
"Be a good girl, Er Bao. Daddy will get you all nice and clean," Lin Feng cooed while trying to wash her. "How can a little girl be stinky?"
In stark contrast, San Bao, being washed by Sister Wang nearby, was much more cooperative. Within minutes, Sister Wang had finished bathing him. On Lin Feng's end, however, he had just managed to get Er Bao into the tub when she began splashing water relentlessly, soaking his clothes. It seemed she was determined to empty the entire tub all by herself.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
With no other choice, Lin Feng found a rubber duck and placed it in the tub to distract her.
"Be a good girl, Er Bao. Daddy has a little ducky for you to play with. QUACK! QUACK! QUACK..."
The trick worked. Seeing the toy duck, Er Bao instantly calmed down. She hugged it tightly, making her own little "QUACK! QUACK! QUACK!" sounds.
After bathing the three younger babies, all that remained was the most difficult one, Da Bao.
Da Bao seemed to truly detest water. Before he was even in the tub, his expression soured, and he began to wail. Seeing this, Sister Wang hurried over to help, taking off Da Bao's clothes and placing him in the water.
"Be good, Da Bao. We're big boys, how can we be afraid of a bath?" Lin Feng said comfortingly as he began to wash him.
Just then, Lin Feng suddenly remembered he had a skill called Baby Talk Mastery. Using this skill, he could communicate with babies. So, he used Baby Talk Mastery to comfort Da Bao again.
Da Bao seemed to understand Lin Feng's words. He slowly stopped crying and began to bravely endure his bath.
This is amazing! So this skill can be used this way too?
Soon, Lin Feng had finished bathing Da Bao, earning an approving look from Sister Wang.
At that moment, the system's voice sounded.
