On the way back, Han Wen spoke to Tang Xiufen.

"Ms. Tang, I just realized that Ms. Zhang's husband looks so familiar!" she said. "He looks so much like that student from Class 2 of the Chinese Department, the one named Lin Feng! And what a coincidence, they're both named Lin!"

Tang Xiufen thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? They do look a little different."

Han Wen remembered the moment just before they left. Lin Feng's face was clearly identical to her student's; there was no difference at all! But Tang Xiufen insisted their appearances were different.

Han Wen didn't know if she was just out of it tonight or if Ms. Tang was face-blind.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out another day!"

「Elsewhere.」

Rongtai Luxury Court, Room 808.

Zhang Yuxi sensed that Lin Feng's mood had been a bit off.

"Honey, were you angry just now?"

After seeing Han Wen and Tang Xiufen out, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to reply, "No... what would I be angry about?"

Zhang Yuxi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I thought you were angry because I invited them to come over for dinner often!"

Lin Feng walked over and stroked Zhang Yuxi's head, speaking softly. "What are you thinking about? Am I really that petty of a person?"

"Then why did you look like that?"

"I was just a little tired."

After all, he had been busy all day, and then he had to cook a huge meal for three women in the evening. Even with his High-Quality Sleep skill, it was still a bit much to handle.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi looked guilty. "You rest here. I'll do the dishes."

Lin Feng refused. "There's no need. I'll wash them."

This time, Zhang Yuxi was unusually assertive, pushing Lin Feng back onto the sofa. "I'll do the washing. You get some rest!"

He knew she just wanted to do something for him to ease her guilt. Lin Feng could only nod, settling onto the sofa to watch TV. Zhang Yuxi went to the kitchen and efficiently started washing the dishes.

As he watched the talk show on TV, his mind was elsewhere; he wasn't really taking it in. I wonder what happened when my Change Appearance Skill failed earlier today. Did Han Wen see me? The door was about to close then. Logically, even if she caught a glimpse, it would have only been for a second. She wouldn't think much of it, right?

Lin Feng shook his head, forcing himself to calm down. Forget it... so what if she saw me? In fact, I'd almost prefer it if my identity was exposed! At least then I wouldn't have to keep sneaking around. It's not like I'm relying on Zhang Yuxi's salary to live anymore.

After finishing the dishes, Zhang Yuxi returned to the living room. Lin Feng waved her over. "Honey, come here."

"What is it?" Zhang Yuxi sat down next to Lin Feng, snuggling close to him.

"Honey, I'm planning to call my parents tomorrow," he said. "I'm going to tell them about our children. Then, when the babies have their half-year birthday, I was thinking of inviting them over."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi's heart began to race. "You... are you really going to do that?"

Lin Feng caressed her back and said softly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid they won't approve of you?"

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Yes... After all, I'm a few years older than you, and... I was your teacher..."

Lin Feng joked, "Honey, haven't you heard the saying? A wife three years older brings a brick of gold!"

Zhang Yuxi asked curiously, "What saying is that?"

"You're six years older than me," he continued with a grin. "My parents will be absolutely ecstatic!"

He had barely finished speaking when Zhang Yuxi gave him a playful punch. "Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Zhang Yuxi stood up and headed for the bedroom. She hadn't let Lin Feng tell his parents about them precisely because she was worried they would disapprove of her. After all, they had never even met her. How could she not be worried?

「Later that night.」

Lin Feng snuggled up to Zhang Yuxi.

"Honey..."

"What is it?"

Feeling the warmth of his body, Zhang Yuxi's face turned crimson as she asked shyly. Lin Feng didn't answer, instead pulling her into a tight hug from behind. Her body trembled slightly as she gently pushed him away, whispering, "Honey, I... I can't tonight..."

Not understanding, Lin Feng thought she was still angry with him. "Honey, I'm sorry!"

"It's not that... It's that time of the month..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng finally understood. "Oh, so that's why!"

Zhang Yuxi nodded, her face still flushed red.

"Alright then, let's just get some sleep." Lin Feng didn't press the issue, simply pulling the blanket over both of them.

A little while later, Lin Feng spoke again. "Honey, does it hurt a lot when you have your period?"

"I'm usually okay, but my lower stomach gets a little cold."

The words were barely out of her mouth before Lin Feng reached out a hand to feel for himself. "You're right, it is cold! Wait here, I'll go get you a heating pad!"

Lin Feng got out of bed and hurried to the living room, grabbing a heating pad from a cabinet. "Here, honey, stick this on your clothes." He carefully applied the heating pad to her pajamas.

A wave of comforting warmth spread through her, and Zhang Yuxi soon drifted off to sleep.

Lin Feng gently got up, intending to check on the babies in the adjoining room. He had just stepped out of the bedroom when the System's voice rang in his mind.

DING!

[For diligently caring for your babies for 15 days and fulfilling your fatherly duties, you are rewarded with 100,000 yuan in cash!]

[You are also rewarded with one Marrow Cleansing Pill!]

[Marrow Cleansing Pill: Cleanses the body of impurities, tempers the meridians, and grants superior physical functions.]

[Would you like to use it now?]

A Marrow Cleansing Pill... Lin Feng had read about things like this in cultivation novels before. Who would have thought something like that would actually be a System reward?

Lin Feng promptly nodded and said to the System, "Use it now!"

As soon as he gave the command, a warm current flowed into his body, circulating through his internal organs. Soon, his entire body felt like it was enveloped in this warmth. He felt incredibly comfortable. This feels amazing...

The sensation lasted for a full ten minutes. I thought taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill was supposed to be some kind of painful ordeal, but it seems those cultivation novels are all lies!

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, only to find his skin covered in a black, soot-like substance. He quickly hurried to the bathroom for a satisfying hot shower.

After his shower, Lin Feng felt brimming with strength, and his vision had become exceptionally sharp. He, who had once been slightly nearsighted, could now see everything with perfect clarity. His appearance had also improved tremendously. Not only were his facial features more defined and angular, but his skin had also become fair and smooth.

And... it seemed a certain *other* area had also been greatly strengthened.

Lin Feng walked lightly toward the bedroom. Even before he reached the door, he could perceive Zhang Yuxi's steady breathing inside, as well as the soft sounds of the four babies sleeping soundly in the adjacent room.

It seems this Marrow Cleansing Pill is even more effective than I imagined!
