Xie Yunjin wasn’t wrong. They had been together all this while, and suddenly being apart from Lu Jiao for the whole day made him absent-minded several times. He kept subconsciously thinking about Lu Jiao – what she was doing, eating, and if she missed him too.

Lu Jiao turned to see Xie Yunjin’s eager gaze upon her, feeling a slight pang of guilt because she hadn’t thought of him at all that day. But she felt she couldn’t be too straightforward; it might hurt his feelings.

As Lu Jiao was about to give a short response, the four little ones rushed in like happy little birds, hearing what Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were saying. They dashed straight to Xie Yunjin upon entering.

“Daddy, we missed you.”

“Yes, at lunch, I was so worried about you that I ate one less drumstick than usual.”

Lu Jiao looked at the Second Born, utterly speechless, thinking of rolling her eyes. He might have missed eating one drumstick today, but he still had two drumsticks.

The Third Born tugged on Xie Yunjin’s sleeve and asked, “Daddy, you didn’t miss us?”

Xie Yunjin suddenly felt guilty because he had forgotten about his sons.

Ever since he knew Lu Jiao was a caring mother, Xie Yunjin hadn’t been as attentive to his sons as before. He inherently knew that even if he wasn’t around the four children, Lu Jiao would take excellent care of them and educate them well.

Because of this, he wasn’t as anxious about the four children as he used to be.

However, Xie Yunjin couldn’t say that; it would hurt his sons’ feelings too much.

Xie Yunjin looked at the children with a guilty expression and said, “Yes, I thought of you several times.”

The four children were delighted, and Fourth Born looked at Xie Yunjin and asked, “Daddy, didn’t you say you’d take us to your academy to play? When are you going to take us?”

Xie Yunjin thought about it and immediately replied, “We’ll go when the academy has a day off. I will take you to play.”

After saying this, Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao and added, “We’ll all go together.”

Lu Jiao ignored Xie Yunjin, turned around, and went out to prepare dinner. As long as he didn’t ask if she missed him, it was fine.

Just after the family finished dinner, the two tutors who taught the children unexpectedly came to visit.

“Master and Madam.”

Lu Jiao gestured to Feng Zhi to bring chairs for the two tutors and asked, “Do you have something to discuss, sirs?”

After exchanging a glance, Teacher Pan and Shi looked at the four children.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao realized they wanted to talk about the children’s matters. The four children had caused trouble today, but they hadn’t heard about it.

Lu Jiao glanced at the four children and coaxed them, “First Born, take your brothers for a bath. Mom and Dad have something to discuss with the teachers.”

“Okay.”

The First Born joyfully agreed and turned to his brothers, “Let’s go for a bath.” The four children had no objections. They weren’t as clingy to their parents as before because they knew their parents loved them. They had gained confidence and were becoming more independent.

After the four children left, Xie Yunjin looked slightly serious and said to the teachers.

“Did the four children bully someone? Please tell us; we will discipline them.”

Upon hearing this, the teachers quickly stood up and said, “No, the four children are obedient and sensible at school. Moreover, they take care of other children. They’re very kind and haven’t bullied anyone.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were relieved by their words. They signaled for them to sit down and talk.

After the two tutors sat down, they said to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, “We came here to talk about the four children.

Master Pan and Shi seemed particularly excited when they mentioned the four children. Their words were also filled with joy.

“We’ve taught many children, but none have the intelligence of these four. We’ve discovered some exceptional qualities in them and wanted to discuss them with you.”

“Please go on.”

“The four children are very clever. After teaching them for a while, we found that eldest has an exceptional memory.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao exchanged surprised glances. They knew Eldest was smart, but they had never realized he had an exceptional memory. Why hadn’t they noticed before?

Xie Yunjin was extremely excited and turned to Master Pan, “Are you sure?”

Although Xie Yunjin was smart, had a good education, and had a good memory, he had never reached the level of exceptional memory.

Now, his son unexpectedly had an extraordinary memory. This was truly a great joy.

The teachers nodded, “Yes, we’ve tested it. He used to need to review books two or three times before remembering them. But now, after we explain once, he remembers and doesn’t forget.”

Xie Yunjin was proud to have such an eldest son. Among the four children, the First Born was the most sensible, making Xie Yunjin feel distressed. He never expected his son to have a photographic memory. It was as if the Heavens had favored him.

Beside Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao’s eyes flashed slightly. She had previously tutored the eldest, who, despite being sensible and smart, had never reached a photographic memory level.

Now that the First Born has displayed such abilities, could it be related to her giving him spiritual stream water?

Lu Jiao often liked giving the children spiritual stream water. Regular consumption had made them smarter than before, but she never expected it to have this effect.

Lu Jiao looked up at the teachers, “What about the other three?”

“The other three also have great memories as well. Although they are slightly inferior to the First Born, they are much stronger compared to the other children. The Second Born, for instance, loves martial arts. Whenever he has spare time, he likes to practice boxing outside. And we found out that he has exceptional strength.”

This was yet another surprise.

Xie Yunjin looked happily at Master Pan and Shi.

“Does the Second Born have great strength?”

The two teachers nodded. “Yes, today we saw him effortlessly lift a small chair. It was no effort at all. To test him, we asked him to lift two chairs at once, one in each hand, and he managed it without any difficulty.”

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but smile. This kid always wanted to pursue a path in martial arts. He never expected him to be so strong. Martial arts seemed quite suitable for him.

Just as Xie Yunjin was pondering, Master Shi happily continued, “This afternoon, Master Li specifically called him over to test him. In the end, Master Li was excited and said Second Born has a natural talent for martial arts. He mentioned his strong bones and muscles. With time, he will definitely become a skilled martial artist.”

Upon hearing Master Shi’s words, both Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao couldn’t help but feel delighted.

However, Xie Yunjin quickly sensed something was amiss.

His four children were indeed good, but they hadn’t shown such exceptional abilities before. What was going on?

Xie Yunjin’s gaze shifted to Lu Jiao.

He immediately thought about Lu Jiao’s capabilities.. Could it be that she gave them some potent medicine?
