My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 776 - Is fitness so competitive now?

Ever since the quadruplets gradually entered the public eye, Lin Feng had become accustomed to being a public figure. As the "National Daddy," he had not only raised the quadruplets to adulthood, but now Xing Yun was even skipping grades to the sixth grade.

Sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the night and reflected on his life, he felt content and happy. In the past, he was busy being a stay-at-home dad, but now the children were grown and the family’s financial situation had improved.

Shouldn’t I find something I like to do for myself? Ugh, it seems that aside from cooking and doing household chores, I don’t really have any special skills!

Past five in the afternoon, Zhang Yuxi had dinner ready and was waiting for him. Xing Yun had gone to supplementary classes and wouldn’t be back until after eight.

She looked at Lin Feng with a teasing smile. Finally, Lin Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks, having lost his appetite.

"Honey, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t smile like that; it’s creeping me out."

"How am I smiling?"

"..."

While he was washing the dishes, Zhang Yuxi stood nearby, her tone tinged with mock jealousy as she glanced at him from time to time. "Sigh, you have no idea how popular you are now. So many people are calling you ’husband’ online and saying provocative things."

Lin Feng, who also frequented the internet, just chuckled. "Honey, they’re just young girls joking around. Their ’husband’ changes from one male celebrity to another in the blink of an eye; they’re very fickle."

"Besides, everyone knows that your husband is devoted only to you. Why would you get jealous over nothing?"

Zhang Yuxi was now a woman in her fifties. No matter how well she maintained herself or focused on her appearance, beauty inevitably fades. Yet her husband looked the same as he always had. That, right there, was what made her feel so envious.

Zhang Yuxi had this anxiety about her appearance, and Lin Feng understood it well; he was always careful to be sensitive to her feelings. He grew a beard, trying to look like a middle-aged man, and sometimes let himself look unkempt. But when a man is that handsome, what can you do? Even if he neglects his appearance, the good looks are still there.

Lin Feng was like a bottle of finely aged, aromatic wine, with a rich flavor that countless young women coveted. He told Zhang Yuxi he loved her many times a day, expressing his feelings to ease her anxiety.

Zhang Yuxi wrapped her arms around Lin Feng’s waist. "Husband, what do I do? You’re too outstanding."

Back in her youth, she had things to be proud of. A stunning face, an elegant demeanor, the talent of a well-read scholar... But now, people only saw a woman in her fifties... a well-preserved older lady, and nothing more.

Lin Feng changed the subject. "Did we save any food for Xing Yun? Oh, look at my memory. Her teacher provides dinner."

Suddenly, he remembered something. "The third-born told me that a lot of kids in class have a crush on Xing Yun."

Society was different for their generation. When his own quadruplets were in elementary school, they knew nothing but their studies.

Bringing this up, Zhang Yuxi was quite open-minded about it. "Their ’crushes’ are just an appreciation for beautiful things, there are no deeper feelings involved. Xing Yun is an outstanding and beautiful girl, so it’s normal for some boys and girls to like her. As parents, we should maintain a calm attitude and not make a big deal out of it."

Lin Feng felt his wife had a point, and he breathed an internal sigh of relief.

After dinner, Zhang Yuxi went to the gym. She had to make the marks time left on her body slow down just a little bit more. A short while later, she called Lin Feng over.

"Take a picture."

"Huh?"

"Snap a shot of my four-pack, quick, before it disappears."

Lin Feng was puzzled but did as she asked, quickly taking the photo. "Honey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yuxi let out a breath, logged into her husband’s social media account, and rapidly typed a caption to go with the picture she posted: "Let me show you all my wife’s four-pack."

Seeing the likes and shares pour in, with comments praising how amazing the mother-in-law was, she chuckled gleefully to herself.

Lin Feng was bewildered.

Only then did he realize that his sons, daughters, and even his sons-in-law had all "checked in."

The sons all had eight-packs.

The daughters all had six-packs.

And now, Zhang Yuxi had been added to the list with her four-pack.

Speaking of which, the only one left was Xuan Jiayi. She had slimmed down, but she was still working with a one-pack. Oh, right, and there was also Cai Xia.

Zhang Yuxi went to take a shower in a great mood, leaving Lin Feng to shake his head and chuckle.

Soon, in the comments section, the quadruplets and their partners lined up to pay their respects to their mother, showering her with praise. However, in the Lin family, not counting little Xing Yun, only the girlfriends of the firstborn and fourth-born had yet to post.

This prompted a flood of people to rush over and leave messages under Cai Xia’s account again.

"Look, your future mother-in-law has checked in! Aren’t you going to show some support?"

"The number of abs doesn’t matter; what’s important is for the family to be all together!"

Two hours later, Cai Xia checked in from the gym.

Unbelievable! A six-pack!!!

The comments section exploded instantly.

"I thought she was Bronze-tier, but it turns out she’s a King, landing a critical hit!"

So many people were crying their eyes out. "Is fitness this cutthroat now? Everyone’s just casually flaunting six-packs and eight-packs. How are us one-pack folks supposed to live?"

Feeling just as bad was Xuan Jiayi, the little chubby one. Although she was slowly losing weight, she was still a bit plump. Dreaming of an eight, six, or even four-pack was just that—a dream.

Seeing all this, she felt awful. She held her phone, looking at it pitifully before turning to the fourth-born. He came over and quickly comforted her, "It’s okay, I like you just the way you are."

Xuan Jiayi grabbed a pen, drew a six-pack on herself, and took a picture in the mirror. Chuckling, the fourth-born sent the picture out with a caption: "Stop the competition, stop the competition! My little chubby is secretly crying up a storm over here."

The picture showed an adorable, drawn-on six-pack, with another caption added: "Keep it up!"

Still, I should at least have a four-pack, right? Otherwise, I won’t fit in with the Lin family. Xuan Jiayi thought.

The fourth-born laughed. "Fit in how? Does it have to be about graduating from a prestigious university or something?"

Because of her weight, Xuan Jiayi had low self-esteem, even though her family was wealthy. She considered marrying the fourth-born the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her. To feel worthy of him, she was willing to do almost anything, her love humble and cautious.

His words made Xuan Jiayi burst into tears all over again.

Oh, shoot, I didn’t graduate from a prestigious university... When I really think about it, comparing myself to Cai Xia, the other daughter-in-law... we’re worlds apart. No, ten thousand worlds apart.

Seeing her like this, the fourth-born knew she was overthinking things again and took a more direct approach.

And so, the family’s ab check-in challenge finally concluded with Xuan Jiayi’s post.

「In the blink of an eye, October arrived, and with it, the long holiday.」

The couple was thinking about where to take Xing Yun on a trip, but as luck would have it, she landed a commercial and had to go to auditions. With that, their holiday schedule was instantly filled.

As Xing Yun’s father and agent, Lin Feng naturally had to accompany her. By the time it was all over, the holiday would be too. BOO-HOO-HOO.

And life went on as usual.
