My College Teacher is My Children's Mom

Chapter 43: Meeting an Old Acquaintance


The next day.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Feng got up on time, ready to make breakfast in the kitchen. He discovered that Liu Bo had already gotten up and was preparing to head out the door.

"Bro, I'm heading to the shop first!"

Lin Feng called out to him, "Hey, have some breakfast before you go! It's still early. You're going now, but the young mothers aren't even up yet!"

Liu Bo slapped his forehead in realization. "Right, they all have kids to take care of. They don't get up this early!"

Lin Feng finished making breakfast. By this time, Zhang Yuxi had also woken up and was washing up in the bathroom. Today's breakfast consisted of sandwiches, pumpkin porridge, and a cup of soy milk.

Lin Feng brought the breakfast to the table and said to Liu Bo, "Eat up. It's going to get cold."

Liu Bo didn't stand on ceremony; he grabbed a sandwich and started taking big bites.

"Bro, you really are a super dad! Not only are you great with kids, but your cooking is amazing too. You're a role model for us all!" Liu Bo praised him generously.

After washing up, Zhang Yuxi changed out of her pajamas and into her work clothes. Back in the dining room, the atmosphere among the three of them was a bit awkward. They hadn't felt it yesterday, as they were busy serving customers at the shop.

But now, looking back, Zhang Yuxi was reminded that she was a teacher. The two "students" in front of her were her husband and her husband's roommate—a very strange feeling.

"Teacher Zhang," Liu Bo spoke up first, breaking the awkward silence. "Do you know how much we made yesterday?"

Seeing Liu Bo's grinning face, Zhang Yuxi asked subconsciously, "How much?"

Liu Bo held up his chubby fingers and exclaimed loudly, "A whole fifty thousand!"

Zhang Yuxi was shocked. "That much?"

"Brother Feng said that revenue is always higher on a new shop's opening day," Liu Bo added. "It will probably start to drop off after a while."

However, the shop was Lin Feng's own. Even if revenue decreased, it was all pure profit since there was no rent to pay.

Zhang Yuxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll come over to help you guys after my classes today."

Liu Bo glanced at Lin Feng, who nodded. "That sounds good. After today, we'll hire some staff!"

After breakfast, Zhang Yuxi went back to the bedroom to say goodbye to the babies.

"Honey, I'm leaving."

Lin Feng stood in the bedroom with a mischievous smile. "Honey, have you forgotten something?"

Zhang Yuxi's face blushed. "Liu Bo is still here," she said shyly.

"It's okay, he can't see."

Zhang Yuxi quickly leaned in and pecked Lin Feng on the cheek. "Then I'm off."

Standing in the living room, Liu Bo had, of course, seen the entire exchange. He had just been force-fed a huge display of public affection.

「Arriving at the shop.」

Liu Bo put on his work uniform, ready to start the day. Lin Feng stood at the entrance with the babies, continuing to attract customers. Today's foot traffic was even heavier than yesterday's. Many people had seen the shop on social media and had come specifically to check it out.

Lin Feng had never imagined his new store would become an internet sensation on its first day.

"Wow, there really are quadruplets! They're so cute!"

"They look even cuter in real life than they do online!"

"Yeah, and the dad is so handsome!"

"That face, that body, that charisma... I'm drooling."

"Too bad he's taken, otherwise I'd definitely go for him, boohoo..."

Before Lin Feng could even start promoting the store, a crowd of female fans had rushed over, eager to see the babies' adorable faces and Lin Feng's handsome one. It wasn't long before the shop was overflowing with people.

"It's you?" a beautiful woman asked in surprise as she walked over. "You own this shop?"

The woman looked familiar to Lin Feng, but for the life of him, he couldn't recall who she was.

The woman smiled. "I helped you pick out a baby clothes gift set at the boutique supermarket. Don't you remember?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng finally remembered. She was the sales associate from before!

The woman glanced at Liu Bo, who was scrambling to keep up inside the shop. "I happen to be looking for a job. Are you hiring?"

Lin Feng's interest was immediately piqued.

This is really a case of whatever you wish for, you get! Just when I was worried about being short-staffed, the heavens delivered someone right to my doorstep? System! Be honest, are you behind this?

"We are!" he said. "We're actually short-staffed! Go inside and tell that chubby guy that Lin Feng sent you. You can start a trial shift today!"

The woman nodded and ran straight into the store to help.

「Ten o'clock in the morning.」

After finishing her classes, Zhang Yuxi also came to the shop to help. She instantly recognized the beautiful sales associate. After chatting for a bit and learning that she was a new employee, Zhang Yuxi was especially kind to her.

The store was just as busy today as it had been yesterday, if not more so. Even with an extra person, Zhang Yuxi felt even more exhausted than the day before. Fortunately, Liu Bo had learned his lesson and had prepared a warehouse full of stock in advance. When the beautiful sales associate saw the shelves emptying, she dashed to the warehouse to tally the goods for restocking, moving with practiced skill.

The beautiful sales associate's name was Li Xiaotong. She used to work at a supermarket but had quit in anger after being unable to tolerate her boss's harassment. She had stumbled upon Lin Feng while job hunting, and he had given her this opportunity.

Liu Bo was very satisfied with her work ethic and discussed putting her on a trial period with Lin Feng. If there were no issues, she would be promoted directly to assistant manager. Although Liu Bo was eager to make money, he still had studies to complete and could only commit himself fully after graduation. For now, Li Xiaotong would fill in.

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he had no problem with the arrangement. He was also very confident in Li Xiaotong's abilities.

By noon, the number of customers began to dwindle. Seizing the lull, Liu Bo hurriedly drove off to restock the warehouse. Lin Feng, meanwhile, was busy changing the babies' diapers. When it was the fourth baby's turn, however, he started whimpering and seemed unhappy.

"What's wrong, my baby?" Zhang Yuxi asked softly, picking him up.

"He might be hungry," Lin Feng suggested.

Sure enough, as soon as the words left his mouth, they saw the fourth baby pucker his lips and nuzzle against Zhang Yuxi's chest. Seeing this, Zhang Yuxi found it both amusing and heart-wrenching. To Lin Feng, she said, "You finish feeding the other babies, and then we can go eat."

Holding the fourth baby, Zhang Yuxi went into the rest area, lifted her shirt, and began to breastfeed him. Lin Feng, for his part, started mixing formula for the other babies. Seeing this, Li Xiaotong quickly ran over to help.

"The babies are growing so fast. They seem to change every day," Li Xiaotong couldn't help but exclaim. "They don't seem like they were this big the last time I saw them."

Lin Feng chuckled but didn't say much. The last time he had seen Li Xiaotong was over half a month ago, and the babies had indeed grown a lot since then.

Soon, Liu Bo returned, his tricycle loaded with goods.

Li Xiaotong smiled. "Leave this to me. You all go have lunch!"

Liu Bo looked at Lin Feng. After seeing him nod, Liu Bo grinned broadly. "We'll leave it to you, then. I'll bring some food back for you!"

"Okay."

At the dining table, after listening to Lin Feng's story, Liu Bo learned that Li Xiaotong already knew him. Moreover, she had been a sales associate for baby clothes before, so she was already experienced.

"She's someone you found, Bro, so of course, I trust her!" Liu Bo said with a simple smile.

Just then, Zhang Yuxi's phone suddenly rang. She took it out, and her expression instantly turned grave. The call was from her best friend, An Lan.
