Shi Min sighed, his resolve wavering. "Mom, let me think about it. There is no rush. I'm not in a hurry to break through. Besides, Lily will join the competitions, and I also want to be there to support her."

Ling Li pondered for a moment and nodded, understanding his hesitation. "Alright, I'll prepare the pills. Let me know whenever you decide to go."

"Thanks, Mom. And you should be careful and rest more with my three brothers in your womb," Shi Min said with a playful grin, unable to resist teasing his mother before leaving the study.

Ling Li chuckled, her laughter filling the room. It always made her laugh every time Shi Min referred to the babies in her womb as brothers. She rubbed her belly lovingly, thinking of the triplets growing inside her. The warmth of her touch seemed to resonate with the life within, and she felt a deep sense of connection and anticipation for the future.

Ling Li, with a weary sigh, moved quietly to check on the twins. She smiled softly, her maternal instincts making her heart swell with love. She gently kissed their foreheads before finally retreating to her room. The pregnancy had made her feel increasingly exhausted, a constant reminder of the new life growing inside her. She changed into her nightgown, her movements slow and deliberate. She hoped for a restful sleep, knowing her days would only get busier.

Meanwhile, After Four Eyes visited his parents and made sure they were both well and doing great, Four Eyes, on his way back to the main house feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, reached for his phone. He needed support from the people who had been constants in his life. With a determined breath, he called his best friends Fatty and Chatty to meet him at the gazebo. He also calls Shun, who was his constant companion from their mystical adventures on Mystic Mountain.

The thought crossed his mind whether to include Shi Min in this sudden assembly. Still, his hesitation melted away as Shi Min answered and, without a moment's pause, agreed to come.

Everyone arrived with a mixture of curiosity and concern, their shared history urging them to respond promptly to such a call. Ren, too, had shown interest in joining, but Shun insisted that he attend alone. "Since Uncle said for me to go, I should go alone. I'll just tell you about it when I come back; stay here and wait for me." Ren reluctantly agreed, her curiosity piqued but her faith in Shun unshaken.

With all eyes now on Four Eyes, the usually reserved man found himself grappling with words. His friends could sense his inner turmoil. Fatty, always the one to break the ice, spoke up, "Chu Yan, is something the matter?"

Four Eyes remained silent, lost in thought. His hesitation was palpable, and the group grew restless. Shi Min, ever perceptive, said, "Pap's, we know you don't speak much, but if you have something in your mind, you have to say it. We can't read your mind." Then, with a mischievous glint, he added, "Oh, on second thought, I could read your thoughts if you don't mind." Indeed, Shi Min's Mystic power allowed him to delve into the minds of others.

Four Eye "…."

The silence stretched, and just when it seemed endless, Four Eyes let out a heavy sigh. "I… I want to propose to your Mother," he finally admitted, his voice filled with a mix of determination and nervousness. "I need all your help to prepare."

Gasps of surprise echoed around the room, except from Shi Min, who had already sensed his intentions. One by one, they congratulated Four Eyes with genuine warmth.

"Chu Yan! Congratulations! You are truly my man!" Chatty cheered, his excitement palpable.

"Uncle, congratulations," Shun echoed, his eyes shining with pride.

"Bro, I'm so happy for you," Fatty added, giving Four Eyes a hearty pat on the shoulder.

Shi Min, moved by his stepfather's intention, said, "Paps, thank you. Mom will surely be delighted." The realization that Four Eyes was planning a formal wedding proposal for his mother filled him with pride and satisfaction.

Four Eyes, overwhelmed by their support and joy, felt a sense of certainty and happiness. "This is what I should do," he told Shi Min, his resolve clear.

Shi Min, seizing the moment, asked, "Then Paps, what do you have in mind? Do you need my help with the rings?"

"Yes, can the engagement ring be done in a week?" Four Eyes' anxiety was evident in his voice.

Shi Min reassured him, "Paps, leave the production of the rings to me. However, do you have any designs in mind?"

Four Eyes nodded, "I will leave the final design of the ring to you. I only have several requests; I hope the engagement ring has something to symbolize my presence and the twins, while the wedding ring symbolizes infinity."

Shi Min's eyes sparkled with approval, "Got it, leave it to me."

Fatty, eager to contribute, asked, "What about us? What do you plan for us to help you with?"

Four Eyes, scratching his head in mild confusion, replied, "Um, where and what to do?"

The room erupted in laughter at his innocence. Shi Min declared, "I think we need the women's team here."

Shun agreed, "I think so too. Women have more imagination and creativity regarding this matter."

With that, Shi Min pulled out his phone, "Let me call Pharsa."

Shun followed suit, "Let me call Ren."

Fatty, his face turning a shade of red, said, "Oh, then let me call Lily."

Chatty, feigning indignation, not wanting to be outdone, interjected, "Hey, Shi Min, let me call Pharsa. How can I let you call her?"

Shi Min rolled his eyes playfully. "Do you all have to flaunt your love lives in front of a singleton like me?" he declared with a loud snort. "Fine, I'll call Mushu," he added, determined not to suffer alone.

Soon, the women arrived, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. Reginald and Leeroy, who had been chatting with Mushu, tagged along uninvited, eager to see what the fuss was about.

Clearing his throat, Shi Min tried to steer the moment, "Cough… cough… Paps, why don't you explain to them your plan."
