「Half an hour later.」
Lin Feng checked his test and, finding no issues, turned it in early.
"Classmate Lin, there's another exam later, so don't go too far."
"Okay, I'm just going to buy a bottle of water."
Tang Xiufang picked up the test paper and looked it over carefully. She found that it was very well done; he had only missed a single question. He really lives up to his reputation as a top student, she thought. Even after being absent for half a month, he can still hand in a nearly perfect paper.
While Tang Xiufang was still in awe, Lin Feng found a quiet corner in the academic building. He took out his phone and started a video call with Zhang Yuxi.
"Honey, aren't you in the middle of an exam?"
"I finished early. Let me see the babies…"
Zhang Yuxi said, "Oh," and aimed the camera at the four well-behaved babies in the crib.
The eldest and second-oldest babies immediately wriggled closer, staring curiously at Lin Feng on the phone screen with sweet smiles on their faces. The sight nearly melted Lin Feng's heart.
"My eldest, my second-born, have you missed Daddy?" he cooed.
"Daddy isn't home today, so you have to be good and listen to Mommy.
"No bullying Mommy, and make sure you drink your milk and let her change your diapers nicely, okay?"
As he spoke, he added, "Honey, let me see our number three and four."
Zhang Yuxi picked up the phone and panned the camera over to the third and fourth babies. At that moment, both of them were sound asleep. The fourth baby was even blowing bubbles from their mouth every now and then, looking adorably silly.
"You two big lazybones, all you do is sleep all day," Lin Feng said, feigning anger. "Daddy's here to see you, and you don't even wake up for a video call!"
Zhang Yuxi's sweet voice came through the phone. "Our third and fourth babies say, 'That's not true! We just finished our milk, so what's wrong with taking a little nap?'"
"Alright, honey, someone's coming. I have to hang up. Bye-bye~"
Just then, other students began trickling out of the classroom, so Lin Feng had no choice but to reluctantly end the video call with Zhang Yuxi. Although he wished he could look at his babies a bit longer, it wouldn't be worth the trouble if his classmates saw him.
At that moment, a few female students in miniskirts were huddled together, glancing at Lin Feng from time to time.
"Hurry up and go! He's standing right over there. You have to take the initiative if you want anything to happen!"
"Yeah, with a handsome guy like him, if you don't make a move, he'll be taken before you know it!"
"Are you going or not? If not, I'm going up to ask for his WeChat…"
"No, no, no, I'll go, alright?! Just don't compete with me. If I can't win him over, I'm doomed to a lonely life!"
Seeing two female students (she-wolves) slowly closing in on him, Lin Feng had a bad feeling and quickly turned to leave. But how could those two possibly let him get away so easily?
"He's trying to run! After him!"
The two girls, paying no mind to their short skirts, strode after him. One of them, a girl with long, slender legs, simply spread her arms to block his path. The other, a cute-faced girl, looked at Lin Feng shyly.
"Um… excuse me," she said with a bashful expression. "Can I add your WeChat?"
Lin Feng felt a bit awkward. "I'm sorry, I'm already married!" As he spoke, he held up his left hand to show off the diamond ring on his finger.
"Huh? You're married?"
The two of them looked at him in disbelief. We're all students, how could he possibly be married? From their perspective, Lin Feng had to be making up a lame excuse to reject them.
The long-legged girl strode forward and said commandingly, "It's fine, my friend here isn't picky. Even if you're married, that's okay…"
Hearing this, the cute girl's face flushed an even deeper red. She quickly pulled her friend back and said to Lin Feng, "Sorry to bother you!"
With that, she dragged the long-legged girl off in the direction of the restrooms.
"What are you doing? I almost had him!"
"He's already married. It's not right for us to do this."
"He says he's married and you just believe him? You're such an idiot!"
"Wait, are you saying... he was lying to us?"
"Of course he was! We're only sophomores in college. Who the hell gets married now? After class, I'll go with you to corner him!"

「Soon enough.」
The second round of exams began. This time, the proctor was Han Wen.
Han Wen stood on the podium in a hip-hugging miniskirt, her expression cool and aloof. Her long, slender legs were tightly encased in stockings, giving her an exceptionally sexy appearance. Her eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept over the students below.
"Alright, left and right rows, switch seats! And wipe all those notes you copied onto your desks clean! I'm warning you, if anyone dares to cheat, I will definitely not let them off the hook!"
Seeing Han Wen's domineering presence on the podium, Lin Feng couldn't help but find it amusing. It seems you really can't judge some people by their appearance, he thought with a private chuckle. You have to dig a little deeper to find out who they really are.
「Half an hour later.」
Lin Feng checked his exam paper and once again thought about submitting it early. This time, however, Han Wen stared at him so intensely it made his skin crawl.
"Ms. Han, is something the matter?"
"Get back to your seat. No one is turning in their paper early!"
Seeing the burning look in Han Wen's eyes, as if she wanted to strip him bare for a thorough inspection, Lin Feng immediately felt intimidated. He had no choice but to quietly return to his seat and pretend to check his paper again.
Fortunately, Han Wen still hadn't realized that he was the so-called "brother-in-law" she was looking for.
「Half an hour later.」
The exam ended, and the students began turning in their papers.
Leaving the classroom, Lin Feng walked straight back to Rongtai Haoting. He didn't drive. If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way, he reasoned. If Tang Xiufang and Han Wen saw him driving Zhang Yuxi's car, his cover would be blown.
After returning home, Lin Feng first went to check on the babies, then headed to the kitchen to start cooking for Zhang Yuxi.
DING-DONG!
Just then, the doorbell rang. Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng instinctively looked at each other.
"I'll see who it is."
"It's probably Ms. Tang and Ms. Han," Lin Feng stated his assumption directly. Since I showed up at school today, they must be curious enough to come over and see if this 'Lin Feng' really is Teacher Zhang's husband.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuxi grew anxious. She hurriedly urged Lin Feng to go put on his makeup disguise. In her mind, Tang Xiufang and Han Wen hadn't recognized Lin Feng before only because he hadn't been to class in half a month, compounded by the fact that they were both a bit face-blind. But now? They just proctored his exam and then came straight here. Even if they're face-blind, there's no way they wouldn't recognize him, right?
Seeing Zhang Yuxi's panicked expression, Lin Feng just shook his head nonchalantly. "Don't worry, honey. I sat in the back row during the exam today. They barely noticed me. Go open the door and let them in."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuxi had no choice but to reluctantly open the door and welcome them inside.
Sure enough, the moment they stepped in, Tang Xiufang and Han Wen immediately began looking around for Lin Feng.
"Teacher Zhang, is your husband not home?"
