It was the morning of Teacher's Day.

Zhang Yuxi had an early class, so she couldn't take the children to school. After Lin Feng finished eating, he gave their children a look.

Their eldest and strongest child came out, holding a bouquet of mesh wire flowers.

Zhang Yuxi was talking to Lin Feng at the entrance.

"Honey, I won't be back for lunch. We're having a staff luncheon."

Knowing Zhang Yuxi was a lightweight, Lin Feng reminded her, "Don't drink any alcohol. Stick to juice or soda."

"If you really can't refuse, call me to pick you up, okay?"

Zhang Yuxi changed her shoes, picked up the keys from the entryway, and gave Lin Feng a kiss.

"I know, I know. I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

At that moment, their children appeared, all chattering at once.

"Mommy, happy Teacher's Day!"

"We hope you stay as beautiful as a fairy every day, Mommy!"

"Mommy, you work so hard. We hope you like this!"

Listening to her children's sweet words, Zhang Yuxi covered her mouth in surprised delight. "Is this for me?"

"Mommy, we made this," their eldest said, handing her the flowers. "Daddy said it was a surprise for you!"

Their third child, who was usually quiet, asked with a beaming smile, "Do you like it, Mommy?"

Zhang Yuxi took the flowers, overjoyed. "I love it! Mommy loves it so, so much!"

"Thank you, my darlings. Mommy loves you!"

She was genuinely moved, hugging and kissing each of them in turn.

Finally, she also gave a kiss to the mastermind, Lin Feng.

"Thank you, honey!"

Lin Feng wrapped his arms around her. "Go on. I'll make your favorite dishes tonight."

"Okay."

Zhang Yuxi left with the flowers.

Lin Feng clapped his hands. "Alright, we need to go to school too. Put on your backpacks, grab your flowers, and let's go."

Upon arriving at the kindergarten, they saw many students holding gifts they had made. Once inside the classroom, the children gave their gifts to each of their teachers, wishing them a happy holiday.

Later, Zhang Yuxi arrived at her office, holding the flowers from her children.

"From a student? They're very pretty," a colleague commented.

"No, they're from my children," Zhang Yuxi replied, her face beaming with pride and happiness.

Her colleague said with envy, "I remember you said your children are three? They're in kindergarten now, right? How thoughtful of them."

Zhang Yuxi placed the flowers on the most prominent spot on her desk. Every time she looked at them, it was as if she could see her children's smiling faces.

That evening, Zhang Yuxi returned home. When she found that the children had all waited for her to eat dinner, she felt a pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Mommy's late. You must all be starving."

The children shook their heads.

Lin Feng, who was dishing out rice, said, "They wouldn't let themselves go hungry."

"Honey, take the children to wash their hands. It's time to eat."

Everything on the table was Zhang Yuxi's favorite. She sat down, her face full of happiness. "You've worked so hard, honey!"

Lin Feng smiled. "So, how will you reward me tonight?"

Zhang Yuxi pretended not to hear. "I'm digging in!"

How could Zhang Yuxi possibly escape that night? Naturally, she was in for a long and exhausting session.

***

At the end of September, the school held its autumn sports meet. The teacher had announced it in the parent group chat, so the children all got matching camouflage outfits. The parents bought matching sets for themselves as well, since they'd be participating in activities with the children.

Lin Feng had also invited An Lan and Liu Bo to come along. Some of the activities were one-on-one, and their family was shorthanded. An Lan enjoyed having fun and was quite looking forward to the sports meet.

A few days later, the camouflage outfits for both the children and adults arrived. After the outfits were washed, the day of the sports meet finally came.

Their class had a performance, so they had to be at the school by eight in the morning to get the children's makeup done. Because of the early start, An Lan and Liu Bo had come to Cuihu Villa the night before.

The next day, they arrived at school. They discovered that the parents and children from each class had a different theme for the sports meet. Only Kindergarten Class One had both adults and children in camouflage. The children from Class Two wore red tracksuits, while the adults wore yellow T-shirts. The children and parents from Class Three were all dressed in green.

The previous night, after the children put on their camouflage, they had a blast role-playing with their toy guns alongside An Lan and Liu Bo.

After they arrived at school at eight, four teachers began to apply makeup to the children. One teacher even took care to explain to the parents, "This foundation is skin-friendly and won't harm the children's skin. Even adults with sensitive skin can use it…"

After evenly applying the foundation, the teachers painted on deep blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. So far, the look was acceptable, right up until they applied blush as red as a monkey's bottom.

An Lan stifled a laugh. "This makeup style really hasn't changed in decades. This is exactly how they did my makeup when I was a kid."

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "Me too."

Lin Feng added, "Judging from my old photos, me too."

The teachers then stuck cute decals on their cheeks and gave each of them a toy gun. The mischievous boys were already running around the classroom, including their second child. You could say their second child was quite the tomboy, as she often played right alongside the boys.

After the makeup was done, the teachers asked the parents to carry their children's small stools to the designated area on the field and wait. The teachers, meanwhile, would organize the children and get them lined up.

The sun was bright, and the parents sat in rows on their little stools. It wasn't long before one parent started complaining.

"This school even makes us carry our own things. At our old school, they did everything for the parents."

"And isn't this field a bit too small for a sports meet?"

A few parents chimed in with agreement, while most just ignored her.

The familiar sound of the school's broadcast system crackled to life.

An Lan, sitting on a small stool, mused, "I used to be on stage, and now I'm in the audience."

Zhang Yuxi leaned in and asked, "So when are you getting married?"

An Lan rolled her eyes. "Get married? Are you kidding me? Am I that desperate? Please."

Zhang Yuxi whispered, "The other day, I accidentally overheard Lin Feng on the phone with Liu Bo. He mentioned you two have been getting closer lately. Are you officially together? You did tell me you weren't single anymore! And you said you met up with a friend at a bar, and you two… you know… It's not him, is it?"

An Lan looked horrified and quickly whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing An Lan's panicked expression, Zhang Yuxi knew she'd hit the mark.

"What are you planning to do? I also heard that Liu Bo is planning to propose soon."

This news seemed to terrify An Lan. "Seriously?"

Zhang Yuxi's eyes narrowed. "You scum. You're just going to sleep with him and then act like nothing happened?"

An Lan's eyes widened. "Get lost! We already agreed to let things happen naturally! There's no rush to get married! You know me, I still want to have some fun! I don't want to get married so soon."

The news about Liu Bo planning to propose threw An Lan into a panic.

Sometimes, her best friend's actions were pretty rotten. But no matter what, An Lan was still her best friend, and she couldn't help but side with her.

"Just talk to Liu Bo about it," she advised. "He's a good man, and he's head over heels for you."

An Lan sighed. "I'll talk to him. If it doesn't work out, we'll just break up."
