"Papa… Daddy…" Yanyan's small hands clutched tightly at Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng's as they reached the door to his classroom. He was reluctant to let go, especially after the high of his successful speech still lingered warmly in his chest.

Ao Yichen's earlier speech had left a mark on his heart, reminding him how precious his parents were and how much he wanted to stay by their side.
