Under the shade of trees caressed by a river breeze, father and son stood side by side.
Yan Fei bowed his head, trying to figure out what he had inadvertently 'revealed' again.
Yanfei's father, noticing his silence, spoke up again, "In the past, I just thought you were strong and never thought much else. You are my son, and we always see you in a good light. And also..."
He paused before continuing, "Both of us were young once and perhaps didn't care for you enough, leaving you alone here. We know we owe you too much and have always felt that we don't have much right to interfere in your affairs without fulfilling our parental duties."
"When you showed me the steel ball you squeezed yesterday, I didn't think much, just felt my son is getting more and more remarkable. Your grandfather used to criticize me for being too frail, always saying his grandson must not be like me. Seeing your strength, I think your grandpa would be delighted if he knew about it."
