My College Teacher is My Children's Mom Chapter 585: Er Bao’s Sense of Mission

「Elsewhere.」

Er Bao was glued to her phone, waiting for the app to launch.

Just after midnight, she refreshed the page, ran a search, and found their app. Er Bao quickly posted in the family group chat, encouraging everyone to download it as a gesture of support. It was the holidays, after all, and everyone had plenty of ti.

In just one hour, the number of downloads surpassed 50,000. The results were looking good so far. Er Bao wasn’t used to staying up late; she couldn’t keep her eyes open past 1:30 AM and fell asleep.

In the morning, Lin Feng woke up, refreshed the page, and saw the download count had reached 150,000. Barring any surprises, surpassing 500,000 downloads today wouldn’t be an issue, especially since it was only six o’clock. There was still plenty of ti.

Throughout the day, Er Bao was glued to her phone monitoring the data, and everyone let her be. By the afternoon, the number of downloads had surpassed 800,000. This figure even astonished Lin Jie.

But Er Bao’s initial excitent had faded. Now, she was thinking more about how to enrich the app’s content, how to make everyone love it even more and turn it into a genuine learning tool.

So, the Four Treasures gathered to brainstorm.

Lin Feng, who had appeared at the doorway at so point, stood with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. "Take it slow," he advised. "Haste makes waste."

True enough. For all their discussion, the app had only just launched.

After lunch, Wen Xiaoya called Zhou Cuilan into her room and presented her with a set of pearl jewelry.

Zhou Cuilan, being quite the connoisseur of jewelry, could tell at a glance that it was considerably valuable. "Oh, you should give this to your mother," she said, trying to decline. "I already have plenty! It’s truly the thought that counts."

This was Wen Xiaoya’s first ti giving such a gift since getting married, and it was also Zhou Cuilan’s first ti celebrating the New Year at their ho. The occasion was significant, and she had spent several nights pondering the perfect gift.

"My mother insisted I give this to you," Wen Xiaoya said, taking a bracelet from the set. "She saw my set and said this one was a beautiful choice that would suit you perfectly."

Hearing that Mother Wen knew about the gift and had even approved of it, Zhou Cuilan relented with a faint smile. "Did you buy sothing for your mother?"

"I did. A ring."

"I should have prepared a gift for your mother. I feel terrible that she’s giving one instead."

"Mom, it looks really beautiful on you," Wen Xiaoya said as she helped Zhou Cuilan put on the bracelet.

Zhou Cuilan seed to be growing younger with age. She traveled often in her free ti and took great care of her appearance. She admired herself in the mirror from different angles, very pleased.

Taking Wen Xiaoya’s hand, she said, "Child, don’t spend so much money like this in the future. Just live a good life with Lin Jie; that’s all that matters."

"Your happiness is the best gift of all!"

Wen Xiaoya nodded firmly. "I will live a good life with Lin Jie."

A parent’s wish is simple. They ask for nothing more than to see their children live well.

In the afternoon, Lin Jie and Wen Xiaoya planned to take Lin Feng, Zhang Yuxi, and Xiao Bao out.

"If you’re planning to buy things for us, then never mind," Zhang Yuxi said from the sofa. "Keep the money for yourselves."

"As for Xiao Bao, she’s gotten plenty of new clothes and treats for the New Year. She doesn’t need anything else."

Lin Feng chid in, "Exactly. We don’t lack anything, so there’s no need to buy us things."

"This is just a small gesture from us," Lin Jie insisted. "Please, co with us, Big Bro, Sis-in-law."

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi didn’t budge. "We appreciate the sentint, but we won’t be buying anything."

No matter what was said, they simply would not go out. Since that was the case, Lin Jie and Wen Xiaoya could only drop it.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. "I haven’t properly thanked you for the whole business with Er Bao’s app."

Lin Jie waved his hand dismissively. "It was nothing. Don’t ntion it."

Zhang Yuxi took Wen Xiaoya’s hand. "When are you two planning on having children? I have so many of Xiao Bao’s old baby clothes saved up."

Wen Xiaoya blushed slightly. "We’re trying, but these things depend on fate..."

Zhang Yuxi nodded and said no more on the subject.

Just then, Xiao Bao ca struggling over, carrying a long-haired lop-eared rabbit. "Auntie, can the little bunny co be a guest at my house?"

"Of course," Wen Xiaoya said, having no objections. "You should go ask Grandpa Wen. He’s the one looking after the rabbit now."

The little rabbit was calm in Xiao Bao’s arms, letting her hold it without a fuss. The long-haired rabbit was incredibly fluffy and cute in the winter, and Xiao Bao was becoming addicted to cuddling it.

She carried the rabbit over to Father Wen. "Grandpa, can I invite the little bunny to be a guest at our house?"

The four grandparents all watched Xiao Bao with warm smiles.

"Of course, you can," Father Wen said, beaming. "If the little rabbit likes your ho, it can even stay there permanently."

Xiao Bao’s eyes lit up, and she asked again and again in disbelief, "Really? Can it really?"

"Of course, it’s true!" Father Wen nodded in confirmation.

Lin Dashan added with a smile, "That ans you have to take good care of the little rabbit and make it your best friend!"

"Okay!" Xiao Bao replied in a loud voice.

I will definitely take good care of the little rabbit, she thought, gently stroking its head. Mimicking Lin Feng’s tone, she cooed, "Be good. I’ll treat you very well!"

She turned to tell Lin Feng the news.

Lin Feng didn’t object, only saying, "You can keep it, but you have to help Daddy take care of it, okay?" He gently fixed the two little buns in Xiao Bao’s hair. "You’re its little owner, Xiao Bao, so you have to be responsible for it. Understand?"

Xiao Bao nodded emphatically. "Okay!"

By midnight that night, the number of downloads for Er Bao’s app had broken through three million, far exceeding the anticipated one million. Even more astonishingly, downloads on the other system had surpassed six million.

Such a large number of downloads gave Er Bao a sudden sense of mission. She wanted to make the app even better, to enable more people to learn online and receive a good education. This was about more than just money...
