My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 742

Zhang Yuxi and Lin Feng were completely unaware of everything happening online.

They took Xiao Bao out to celebrate Children’s Day and were rendered speechless by the questions from the people around them.

"How old is your child? What grade is she in?"

"My goodness, she’s already this tall and only in the third grade? Is she going to be 1.8 meters tall in the future?"

"What do you feed your kid? Mine is a bit delayed in development, much shorter than the average height. It’s driving me crazy!"

"My kid is also in the third grade, but he’s only 1.5 meters tall..."

Xiao Bao felt a little hurt; although she was tall, she was still a little kid! She didn’t know why she had grown so tall either. Whenever someone asked, she would just say it was because she had a big appetite.

And it was true—she really could eat a lot!

"What’s wrong, why the long face? Do you want to go paddle boating?" Lin Feng asked.

Xiao Bao’s temper came and went quickly. "Yes! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s all paddle together!"

After a fun afternoon, Xiao Bao came home, washed up, and fell straight into bed asleep.

Zhang Yuxi stood at the door with her arms crossed. "No wonder she’s growing so tall. She eats well, sleeps well, and is happy every day without a worry in the world. It would be strange if she didn’t grow."

Lin Feng wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Isn’t this great, though? My greatest wish is for her to be happy and healthy."

After the two of them washed up, they finally had some free time to scroll through their phones.

The screens were flooded with pop-up ads, with the words "Official Announcement" being particularly eye-catching. Below it read: "The Love Story of a Scientific Titan and a Diplomat!"

Clicking on it, they saw that Cai Xia and their eldest son had announced their relationship two hours apart, rocketing to the top three on the trending list. The other quadruplets who had Weibo accounts, along with Shao Yang, all sent their congratulations.

Lin Feng had his own private account, which he rarely appeared on, but many people still liked to leave messages on his page. After all, he was the "Nation’s Dad" and still had quite a following.

After Lin Feng also posted his congratulations, he put his phone down, ready for sleep.

Unexpectedly, calls started streaming in one after another. Does everyone know I’m free right now?

The first to call was Lin Dashan. When he learned the news was true, he was absolutely delighted. He often watched the news and had a very good impression of Cai Xia. The most important thing was that only their fourth child was still single. His greatest wish was to see each of them settle down, and holding a great-grandchild would be the best of all!

In the past, when their third child started dating someone like Shao Yang, it felt like she was marrying up. But things were different now. Lin Feng was the richest man in the country, ranked in the top ten!

What did that mean? In short, it meant they were extraordinarily rich.

Now, it wasn’t surprising that their eldest would end up with a girl from a family like Cai Xia’s. The Lin family’s children were outstanding enough, and the family was wealthy enough; they were more than a match for any prince or princess.

After hanging up with his father, Lin Feng received a call from Rui. The Lin Feng of today had transformed from someone unapproachably distant to a figure they all looked up to.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi was busy replying to messages from her colleagues, all of them asking about the online rumors. By the time she finished, it was already eleven o’clock.

Zhang Yuxi yawned. "Honey, I’m going to sleep. I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I need to get up early."

Lin Feng put down his phone and lay down beside her. The moon was a sliver in the sky, and another day had quietly passed.

While they could sleep, some people could not.

Cai Xia’s parents, for instance, were discussing when they could meet Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi for a meal. Since their daughter had approved of the relationship, it would likely go the distance unless something unexpected happened.

"It’s only June. Let’s find some time to discuss it when the summer vacation starts."

"Alright."

...

Life in L City moved at a slow pace. Although it was suitable for retirement, it wasn’t for restless young people. Lin Feng, for instance, quite liked the rhythm here. He enjoyed his content daily life and was familiar with every teahouse near the school.

In about a month, Xiao Bao’s vacation would start, and the little girl was eagerly looking forward to it.

The sun in L City was even harsher than in Yangcheng. It didn’t look intense, but it was sweltering enough to make one’s head spin. In the evenings, after Xiao Bao finished her homework, the family of three would go to a nearby park for a stroll and play badminton to help with digestion.

This particular day seemed ordinary. After Lin Feng dropped Xiao Bao off at school, Lin Jiajun called to say that their second uncle was unwell and had been hospitalized.

For the past few years, Lin Daan’s health had been fairly robust, with no serious illnesses, just frequent minor ones. It was always an ache here or a pain there, and he drank the traditional Chinese medicine Lin Feng prepared for him every day. The family didn’t lack money and would certainly seek treatment if it was possible, but at his age, physical decline was inevitable. How could one not get sick?

"What did the doctor say?" Lin Feng knew Lin Jiajun wouldn’t call over minor aches and pains.

Lin Jiajun’s voice was slightly choked. "The doctor said, considering my dad’s age, he’d be lucky to live another six months."

Second Uncle was eighty, and Lin Dashan was already in his seventies. Not many people lived to be eighty these days, and Lin Feng had a rough idea of the situation when he last took his uncle’s pulse.

Lin Feng offered some consolation. "Second Uncle is eighty. We should all be mentally prepared for this. Fortunately, he hasn’t had any major illnesses in his later years, and even the minor ones weren’t agonizing, which is a good thing."

Lin Jiajun hummed in agreement. "We’ve moved back for the time being. We plan to spend my dad’s last days with him. He hasn’t said anything, but I think he might already have some idea."

"My dad was mentioning you today. He asked me to call you and find out when you could come. He wants the family to get together for a proper reunion."

Lin Feng considered the timing. "I’ll need a few days to get things in order here. We can discuss it after that."

That evening, when Zhang Yuxi learned about the situation, she was silent for a moment before saying, "You and Xiao Bao should go back first. I’ll follow once I finish up my work here. As for Xiao Bao’s exams, she could take them with her old class in Yangcheng. What do you think?"

Lin Feng nodded. "That could work."

Three days later, after Lin Feng had handled his affairs in L City, he took Xiao Bao back to Yangcheng.

Lin Feng nagged Zhang Yuxi for half an hour, reminding her over and over to take good care of herself, which only earned him her annoyed complaints.

"I’m not a child anymore; of course I know how to take care of myself!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Just go home and don’t worry. I’ll be back as soon as I finish my work, so stop worrying about me."

Xiao Bao, who was eating an ice cream, chimed in, "Yeah, Dad. Mom’s a grown-up, how could she not know how to take care of herself? You’re underestimating her."

Zhang Yuxi pouted playfully. "Exactly! You have to trust me."

They arrived back in Yangcheng in the evening. After taking Xiao Bao to dinner, they went to the hospital.

At the hospital, Lin Jiajun was looking after his father. "Director Lin, you’re here! And Xiao Bao, too!"

It was a four-person ward, and Lin Daan was in the innermost bed.

"Second Uncle."

Having not seen him for a few months, Lin Daan had become so thin he was almost gaunt, but his spirits seemed good. He was on oxygen and managed to prop himself up. "You’re back? Why did you bring Xiao Bao to the hospital? The smell here is strong; she shouldn’t have come."

"Xiao Bao, come here," he said, gesturing. "There are treats here, take whatever you want."

Xiao Bao politely said, "No, thank you, Second Grandpa. I just ate and I’m full. These are for you to eat."

Lin Daan insisted, so Xiao Bao had to accept a carton of milk. "Thank you, Second Grandpa."
