As night fell, the moonlight bathed the glazed tiles of the Dragon Palace, casting a dreamlike glow. Nezha, Ao Bing, and their parents gathered on the terrace, enjoying the night view in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Looking at you both reminds me of how Lady Yin and I were when we were young," Li Jing remarked with a hint of nostalgia. "Back then, I was quite the stubborn young man, always thinking I was right."
Lady Yin chuckled and added, "Indeed! You almost dropped the ring into the river when you proposed, sweating bullets in your panic."
Laughter erupted among them, even Ao Long Wang, usually stern, wore a rare smile.
"In truth, the hardest part of raising children isn't teaching them how to live but learning to let them grow in their own way," Ao Long Wang said thoughtfully. "I grasped this lesson a bit later than Brother Li."
Li Jing shook his head. "Every parent goes through this process. What matters is that we ultimately understand: the happiness of our children is what truly counts."
Nezha and Ao Bing exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with emotion and happiness. Years of family conflict melted away in that moment, replaced by profound understanding and support.
"I propose a toast," Ao Long Wang suddenly raised his glass. "To the friendship between our two families and to the future of our children—cheers!"
Everyone lifted their glasses, the crisp sound of clinking echoed through the night sky.
Before parting ways, both families took a group photo at the entrance of the Dragon Palace. Ao Long Wang personally saw off Li Jing's family and promised to visit the human realm when he had the chance.
On their way back to school, Nezha and Ao Bing sat in the back seat of the car, reminiscing about this meaningful family gathering.
"It feels like a dream," Nezha said softly. "I never imagined my father would support my dreams like this, even helping me connect with a football training camp."
Ao Bing held Nezha's hand. "Sometimes we underestimate our parents' love. They may express it differently, but their love remains constant."
Nezha nodded and then seemed to remember something. He pulled out a small box from his pocket. "By the way, Ao Bing, I have something to show you."
Curiously, Ao Bing took the box and opened it to reveal an ancient ring. He looked up in surprise. "What is this...?"
"It's my mother's heirloom," Nezha explained somewhat shyly. "She hopes it brings us happiness and blessings."
A glimmer of emotion flashed in Ao Bing's eyes. "This is so precious... I have a gift for you too." He took out the Dragon Heart Jade from his pocket. "My father gave it to me early on, saying it symbolizes responsibility and mission. Now, I want to share this responsibility with you."
They exchanged gifts, feeling the trust and blessings from each other's families. In that moment, they not only gained their families' understanding and support but also solidified their determination to face the future together.
Under the moonlight, Nezha gently embraced Ao Bing. "Thank you, Ao Bing. Without you, I might never have reconciled with my father or truly understood his good intentions."
Ao Bing returned the embrace. "I should thank you too. You gave me the courage to express my thoughts to my father; you made me realize that respecting tradition doesn't mean blindly following it."
The two young men leaned against each other as they gazed out at the starry sky, filled with anticipation for what lay ahead. The reconciliation within their families provided them with unprecedented security and strength, empowering them to face upcoming challenges with confidence.
Whether it was Nezha pursuing his dream of becoming a Football Coach or Ao Bing balancing his responsibilities toward the Dragon Tribe with personal development, they were no longer fighting alone—behind them stood their families' understanding and support, beside them was each other's companionship and encouragement.
As Li Jing said: "Family is always the strongest backing." This bond of blood ties combined with their love that transcended races would become their most treasured wealth in life.
