Early the next morning, after Lin Feng had made breakfast, he ate a little himself and then headed out to enroll the children.

There were quite a few parents at the school for registration. Lin Feng made his way to the classroom for Class Three, where the female teacher from the interviews was assisting parents with payments. The school didn't require every child to stay for lunch, though the cost was higher for those who did. After a busy morning, the registration finally concluded. The school gave each child a small backpack with the school's logo tag on it. On the other side of the tag was a small card where parents were asked to write their child's class, name, and phone number. Inside the backpack, parents just needed to pack a change of pants and a sweat towel for the children.

Classes started at 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM, and school let out at 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The next step was the first day of school on September 1st. The children were full of anticipation, all except for the Third Baby, who was filled with anxiety.

"Daddy, you're going to pick me up tomorrow, right?"

"Of course I will. As soon as school is out, Daddy will be here to get you!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Why would Daddy lie to you?"

"Pinky swear? Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye."

"...Alright, pinky swear."

「The next day.」

Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng took the children to school. In the classroom, quite a few children were already seated, chatting and laughing. The First and Fourth Baby said goodbye to their parents and then proudly strode into the classroom, unable to wait.

The Second Baby clutched Lin Feng's hand. "Daddy, you must come to pick us up at noon!" Her eyes were already red and brimming with tears.

Lin Feng hugged her and gave her a kiss. "Okay!"

The Second Baby kept looking back over her shoulder as she walked into the classroom. The Third Baby's situation was even worse; she clung to Lin Feng's leg, a pitiful sight. The couple was gentle and patient as they reassured her.

"Daddy will definitely come to pick you up at noon."

"Besides, your brother and sister are in the same class with you. They'll keep you company."

It took a lot of coaxing before the Third Baby finally agreed to enter the classroom. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi exchanged looks at the doorway, watching as she obediently put her backpack away just as they had shown her. Then she sat down in front of the Second Baby. Meanwhile, the two "huskies" from their family had already blended in with the other students.

We'll have to teach them a lesson when we get home. They can't just abandon their sisters to go have fun by themselves.

The second floor was for the middle class, and the third floor was for the upper class.

An experienced parent said, "Stop looking and hurry up and go. Otherwise, the kids will start crying any second."

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi thought that made sense, so they quickly slipped away while the children weren't looking.

Inside, the Second and Third Baby looked toward the door.

Oh no, Mommy and Daddy are gone!

The Third Baby couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a loud wail. The Second Baby usually didn't cry loudly but wept quietly, her tears falling like pearls from a broken string. PLOP. PLOP. After all, they were little girls, not like their carefree older brother and younger brother.

Leaving the school, the couple felt a strange sense of loss. They weren't worried about the First and Fourth, only the Second and Third. Knowing them, they were probably already crying.

Just thinking about the Third Baby's tears made Lin Feng's heart ache. Even so, there was nothing to be done. This was a necessary part of starting school. After a few days, once the children were used to the school, they would stop crying and fussing.

Back at home, Lin Feng was distracted while cooking, constantly checking the time. The fact the teacher hadn't called meant the children's situation wasn't too bad.

By half-past eleven, the couple was already waiting at the school gate. Besides them, there were other parents, all eagerly anticipating their children's return. The ones who looked the most anxious were definitely the parents of this year's new students. Entering the school required swiping a card at a gate, similar to a subway turnstile, before they could proceed onto the campus.

Arriving at Class Three's room, Lin Feng held the pick-up card as he and Zhang Yuxi peered through the window. Among the thirty or so children in the class, they spotted their own at a single glance. The Second and Third Baby both seemed to be smiling, looking very happy. As for the First and Fourth, they were having the time of their lives.

RING! RING! RING! The bell signaling the end of class rang.

It's time to pick up the kids, how exciting!

The classroom door opened, and the teacher led out the children who were going home. Parents held out their pick-up cards for the teacher to see, and after a quick verification, the teacher let the children go.

The moment the quadruplets saw Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, they rushed over with a cry. The Third Baby burst into tears again.

Lin Feng picked her up. "Say goodbye to the teacher."

Lying on Lin Feng's chest with tears still on her face, the Third Baby forced a smile. "Goodbye, teacher!"

Third Baby, now in Zhang Yuxi's arms, didn't speak but gave a little wave. Their expressions were in stark contrast to the two carefree brothers standing beside them.

On the way home, Lin Feng asked the children while driving, "See? Daddy keeps his word, right?"

The Third Baby hummed in response. "Daddy, do I have to go back to school later?"

"Yes, you do."

Hearing this, the First and Fourth were delighted, while the Second and Third were not.

The Third Baby asked, "Can I not go to school? Third Baby doesn't like school. I can't see Daddy and Mommy, and Third Baby will miss you..."

Zhang Yuxi smiled. "Daddy will come to pick you up in the afternoon, too. And even though Mommy and Daddy won't be there, you'll have lots of other children to play with."

The Third Baby's expression brightened slightly.

Hearing the mention of friends, the Fourth Baby eagerly piped up. "Daddy, Mommy, I already made a best friend!"

Zhang Yuxi asked, "Really? What's his name?"

"I forgot, but he sits right behind me! And the one in front of me, he's my best friend too."

The First Baby also chimed in, "I made a good friend, too! He invited me over to his house to play. They also have a dog and a cat. And he really likes Transformers!"

Lin Feng frowned. "First, Fourth, did you two take care of Second and Third in class today?"

The Fourth Baby nodded. "Yeah! When Third Baby cried, I even comforted her!"

"Really?" Lin Feng asked.

The Fourth Baby nodded again. "If you don't believe me, ask her."

The Third Baby nodded. "My brothers both came over to comfort me. They said Daddy would come to take us home."

Only then did Lin Feng smile with relief. "You're all in the same class. You need to help and care for each other, understand?"

All four children chorused, "We understand!"

For their morning snack at school today, the children had milk, small cakes, and a banana. Back home, Lin Feng served lunch, and the children ate heartily, taking big bites. Even the Third Baby was no exception, eating with particular relish.

The school posted its weekly menu in the group chat. Not only that, but the school also had an official WeChat account with information like a school introduction, details on the teaching staff, the weekly menu for each class, and more.
