Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, Dawn was momentarily taken aback and then fell into a long silence.

She lowered her head, not speaking for a long time.

Yang Yan didn't disturb her either.

He understood that Dawn needed time to process this.

Not until she finished a cup of tea did Dawn raise her head again and gently say:

"Can you tell me about them? When I was very young, I envied others for having parents, while I only had my grandma and grandpa. They all said I was a wild child."

Hearing Dawn speak, Yang Yan finally let out a silent sigh of relief.

"I don't know how to explain it to you now. Maybe, when you're a bit older, I can take you to see the place where they once lived."

"I've sealed it off for the time being. But you're still too young right now, you can't go there yet. All I can tell you is, they were both heroes. Even in death, they are admired! You will be proud of them."

Dawn said somewhat emotionally:

"The place we once lived? They were heroes!"

Seeing Dawn's reaction, Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh, as if he had made a decision, he heavily put down the teacup:

"Forget it, I'll take you to see it firsthand! Come with me."

After saying this, Yang Yan got up to pay the bill, then took Dawn's hand and led her outside.

Dawn followed closely behind Yang Yan, her eyes full of eager anticipation.

Yang Yan led Dawn to a secluded corner, and then their forms flickered, and the two vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were on the rooftop of the "Great World" in the north.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Dawn shivered immediately.

Yang Yan tightened his grip on her hand, and a wave of warmth quickly enveloped Dawn.

Instantly, her once frozen body warmed up, and she felt the surroundings didn't seem as cold anymore.

Dawn widened her eyes, curiously observing her surroundings, then looked at Yang Yan in surprise.

"It's nothing strange, in the near future, you'll be able to do things like this too."

Yang Yan sat down while pulling Dawn along and then continued:

"This thing was given to me by your mother, she told me to give it to you when I found you. I originally wanted to wait a bit longer,

but considering how you feel about me, if I don't give it to you, you surely won't be at ease."

As Yang Yan spoke, he retrieved a necklace from the Void.

The necklace was golden, but not the typical golden color of gold.

This gold was like the radiance of the Sun.

As soon as Yang Yan took out the necklace, Dawn's eyes began to fill with shimmering tears.

The necklace seemed familiar as if she'd seen it somewhere, but she couldn't quite recall.

She felt very close to it, it must be her mother's possession.

Reaching out with both hands, she carefully took the necklace from Yang Yan's hand, and a golden light immediately enveloped Dawn.

Yang Yan wasn't surprised, instead, he was very pleased.

Because he knew, the power within the necklace had resonated with their bloodline.

Yang Yan took out a cigarette, lit it, and lay on the rooftop, looking up at the sky and muttering:

"It's snowing!"

Within the glow, Dawn was stunned, she looked around in amazement and suddenly heard a voice calling to her ahead.

Although it didn't directly address her by name, she could feel that the voice was calling her.

And instinctively, she wanted to move closer to that voice.

Dawn followed the direction the voice came from and saw a man and a woman standing there as she got closer.

"Dad? Mom?"

Dawn called out excitedly.

Back in the outside world, Yang Yan quietly watched the falling snowflakes, caught in a lengthy silence.

Feelings are truly something inexplicable.

Whether it's familial love, romantic love, or friendship, no one can precisely put them into words.

Just like he, being Moonlight, and Sun only knew each other for a short year, yet they were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.

Moreover, it's not just words.

Sun truly gave his life for Yang Yan.

For years, Yang Yan buried his guilt and regret deep inside, with no one else knowing.

Now that he found his daughter, Yang Yan secretly resolved to make every effort to compensate her, to soothe the spirit of the life-and-death friend in the heavens.

As the light gradually faded, Yang Yan withdrew his gaze, focusing back onto Dawn, who was slowly reappearing.

She was already weeping uncontrollably.

"Dad, Mom, please don't go, don't leave me!"

Dawn choked out.

"Are you alright, Dawn?"

Yang Yan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Uncle Yang."

Dawn shook her head, then looked at Yang Yan and said.

Seeing her expression and hearing her address him, Yang Yan knew that something special must have happened in the glowing orb.

However, he didn't know exactly what happened.

Nor did he desire to delve into it.

Because he understood, it should be a secret between parents and their daughter.

"Let's go, Uncle Yang, I'm hungry."

Dawn stood up and took Yang Yan's hand, proactively requesting.

"Alright."

Yang Yan nodded lightly, then held Dawn's hand as they prepared to leave.

"Uncle Yang, my parents wanted me to tell you, they don't regret what they did. If given another chance, they would still do the same."

Dawn looked at Yang Yan and said with utmost sincerity.

Hearing Dawn's words, Yang Yan froze.

He turned mechanically, looked at Dawn, and didn't say a word, but there was a shimmering light of tears in his eyes.

"Truly, my parents told me to tell you not to feel guilty, they really don't regret it, I'm not lying to you."

Dawn evidently misunderstood and quickly added.

"I know, I know!"

Yang Yan hurriedly said, then lifted his head toward the sky, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Returning to the "Great World," Yang Yan directly took Dawn to the Imperial Capital roast duck restaurant to find Zhou Hanyun and the others.

After adding two sets of utensils, Yang Yan and Dawn both started eating heartily.

Dawn was genuinely hungry.

While Yang Yan seemed to be hiding something.

"Hey! Yang Yan, what's going on with you? Tears are still on your face, were you crying just now?"

Zhou Hanyu looked at Yang Yan and asked.

"Did someone bully you, Dad?"

Ruyi and Cai'Er immediately put down their utensils and looked at Yang Yan with suspicion.

Especially Ruyi, who earnestly said:

"Dad, whoever bullied you, just tell us, we'll help you get back at them."

Hearing Cai'Er and Ruyi's words, Zhou Hanyu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

It's not that she underestimated these two young girls, it's just that she thought it would already be impressive if this guy managed not to bully others, let alone someone daring to bully him!

There must be something else going on.

But, what could possibly bring this guy to tears?

The flame of gossip in Zhou Hanyu's heart was burning bright, determined to get to the bottom of it.
