In the end, Yan Shao really did bring Zizai to the awards ceremony.
Originally, Yan Shao only wanted to set a positive and inspiring example for Zai Zai; as for receiving the award, he had no intention of attending at all.
After all, his life has been successful and glorious enough, and he doesn't need this award to add to his glory.
But Zizai is different. He is still young, and his life has not yet had many glorious moments. In his mind, being a champion is just as easy as getting first place in school.
For him, winning a championship through sweat, blood, and perseverance, like in dragon boat racing, was an experience he had never tried before, and it was an extremely precious one.
Young Master Yan stood on the podium with Zizai in his hand. When the presenter awarded him the medal, he turned around and hung it around Zizai's neck.
"Baby, in Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma's hearts, you will always be the best!"
Zizai picked up the gold medal with a beaming smile and looked at it again and again. Finally, he tugged at Yan Shao's hand, and Yan Shao bent down again. He leaned close to Yan Shao's ear and said something.
"Daddy, I will definitely win a gold medal like this in the future through my own efforts!"
Young Master Yan cupped his face and kissed his pink lips deeply. "Hmm, but not just one side, but countless sides, is that alright?"
Zizai's eyes sparkled as he looked at Yan Shao, his gaze filled with admiration, as well as determination and solemnity.
Yan Shao spent a lot of time and effort to participate in this dragon boat race.
This is extremely valuable and rare for someone as busy as him.
But seeing the look in his son's eyes, Yan Shao felt that all the time and effort he had spent these past few days had been worth it!
Standing below the stage, Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo watched the father and son exchanging a kind of innate, yet inherited, connection. In their hearts, everyone felt an indescribable emotion and feeling.
"Old Yan, didn't you think that the solemn and serious expression on Zizai's face when he received the gold medal was the same as Xiaohan's when he took over Yanhuang at the age of eighteen?"
Yanbo stared at his son and grandson on the stage for a long time before nodding.
"As expected, all the Yan family's children are quite courageous!"
If these words had come from someone else, Zhu Qianying would have mostly thought that person was arrogant and conceited.
But when these words came from Yan Bo's mouth, they didn't sound excessive or exaggerated at all.
After all, according to Zhu Qianying's knowledge of so many members of the Yan family, apart from the three children who are still in school, each of them is someone who has made significant achievements in their respective fields.
No wonder Yanbo said that.
As for Zizai's recent incident, it has fully proven that he is indeed more outstanding and excellent than ordinary children.
Because, let alone children, even adults might not be able to take such calm and effective self-rescue measures in the face of such an emergency.
The three people below the stage were still feeling proud of the father and son on stage. The father and son on stage seemed to have completed a solemn handover ceremony, and now, the big hand held the little hand and walked down.
"Mommy, Daddy promised I can learn to row a dragon boat!"
As soon as he stepped off the stage, the little guy proudly showed off to Zhu Qianying, then flaunted the gold medal that should have belonged to his dad's entire team from various angles.
However, he clearly knew that the gold medal belonged to his father, not him.
"Daddy, will there be a children's group next year?"
Without a second thought, Young Master Yan readily agreed, "Of course we will! Go for it, baby! Next year, together with Daddy, we'll win the gold medals in both the adult and children's categories."
For Young Master Yan, this is easy; he can just sponsor it directly!
On the way back, little Zizai was very excited. He kept asking Yan Shao about the various techniques for dragon boat racing, and kept pestering Yan Shao to accompany him to prepare equipment the next day, Sunday, so that he could go into the water to learn the next day.
Yan Shao's method of killing two birds with one stone was indeed effective; he successfully subdued both the large and small eagles.
On the way, everyone discussed where to have dinner that night.
Zhu Qianying is the birthday girl, and everyone agrees that we should listen to her today.
Originally, Zhu Qianying hadn't thought that this birthday would be any different from previous years, but Yan Shao turned her "never thought of it," that is, something completely intangible, into reality.
Everyone felt that she should decide when to have dinner, so she didn't refuse and, after thinking for a moment, made her decision.
"How about we go to that ocean-themed restaurant we went to last time?"
Zhu Qianying herself really liked the environment there, and she believed that Zizai would like it too. As for Yan Bo and his wife, and Yan Shao, as long as Zizai liked it, they would like it too.
"The ocean? Are there lots and lots of jellyfish and lots and lots of beautiful tropical fish?" It seems that Zizai's fear of water has been completely cured by the dragon boat.
As for whether it's truly overcome or just temporary amnesia, we'll soon have the answer.
Sure enough, Zizai and Zhu Qianying had similar reactions when they first came here. After entering, they were amazed. As for dinner, he didn't eat much. Most of the time, he lingered by the fish pond.
Fortunately, after dinner, there was a birthday cake specially made by Yan Shao. The birthday cake had two layers; the larger layer was made according to Zhu Qianying's taste, and the smaller layer was made according to Zizai's taste.
Speaking of which, today is Zhu Qianying's birthday, but it's Zizai who's happy.
He was excited all day and won a gold medal. He also witnessed his dad's romantic proposal to his mom. In the evening, he saw many beautiful little fish and ate a cake so delicious that it made his mouth water. On the way home, he leaned against his dad and mom with his belly sticking out, thinking that in the near future he might have a cute and pretty little sister. Thinking about it, he fell into a sweet sleep.
When they got home, Yan Shao didn't have the heart to wake him. He scooped him up in his arms and carried him upstairs with ease.
"Honey, you've had a long day. How about we take a bath?"
Yan Shao carried Zizai directly into the bathroom, undressed him, and then asked...
Zizai was a little dazed; he had been passive while they were taking off his clothes.
Whether she heard it or not, she gave Yan Shao a simple "hmm".
Yan Shao assumed that Yan Shao had agreed. Anyway, with Yan Shao by his side, there shouldn't be any problems.
He held Zizai with one hand, and with the other hand, he took off his own clothes, then carried him into the bathtub filled with water.
The moment Zizai's feet went into the water, he trembled slightly and instinctively wrapped his arms tightly around Yan Shao.
Yan Shao stroked his back while comforting him.
"Baby, it's okay! Don't be afraid, Daddy's here!"
