Chapter 1457: Chapter 429: Unable to Learn_2

Initially, Bai Yi thought this uncle was quite surprising.

After all, he looked forty or fifty with graying hair, yet surprisingly liked idols and such...

But as she watched, her proud expression hiding a chuckle faded slightly.

"Hey, Yan Ye, look..."

Following her gaze, Yan Huan easily saw the badge on that officer’s uniform,

"Linmen Second Prison"

Hmm?

The name of this prison seems familiar... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Yan Huan blinked, just as this thought popped up, immediately recalling something, he turned to Bai Yi and said,

"It’s the prison where your dad is serving his sentence, meow."

"...Yeah."

Bai Yi blinked, standing still, looking at the back of that police officer.

He straightened up, watching as the ticketing staff checked on the computer, then said to him,

"Sorry, Bai Yi doesn’t have a signing event tomorrow, only a scheduled performance..."

"I see..."

The officer nodded, showing no disappointment typical of a fan, just pondering indifferently for a moment, then said,

"Please sell me a ticket for tomorrow."

"Alright..."

Bai Yi watched as the officer scanned the code, bought the ticket, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Yan Huan glanced at her and asked,

"It might be related to your dad, meow, want to ask about it? Maybe you could see him, meow..."

Bai Yi thought for a moment, seeming somewhat tempted.

But in the end, she shook her head, pouted, and muttered to Yan Huan,

"Can’t it simply be that I’m talented, charming, and that uncle is really my fan?! Yan Huan is my fan too, okay!"

"..."

Whatever makes you happy, Bai Yi.

Yan Huan didn’t reply, but Bai Yi sighed, rubbed her forehead watching that officer leave with an electronic ticket from the QR code,

"Also, even if it’s true, I haven’t seen my dad since I was a kid, he never sent me a message...

"It just feels like, not knowing what to do, would just mess with my feelings instead..."

Seeing her indecisiveness, Yan Huan didn’t push,

"True, meow... don’t ask if you don’t want to, as long as you’re happy."

"Ugh..."

Hearing this, Bai Yi affectionately nudged the top of Yan Huan’s head, hugging him a bit tighter,

"Yan Ye, you spoil me the most～"

"..."

Yan Huan remained still, seeming to enjoy it a bit.

"Okay, let’s go have dinner! And then stay at a big hotel tonight!"

Bai Yi picked up her spare phone, casually announced, and turned to hug Yan Huan walking in the opposite direction.

But as she walked, she couldn’t help but look back at the officer’s silhouette...

...

...

Next day, approaching noon.

Bai Yi put on the familiar "all-out gear," expertly entered the convention preemptively via Indifference, and with her gear in place stationed herself in the women’s restroom.

Having been through many if-lines and reality lines, Bai Yi now could be considered pretty adept.

"Same as always, Yan Ye, we’ll go with the second method combination this time!"

"Okay, meow."

This was the conclusion Yan Huan helped Bai Yi reach previously, minimizing impact while disengaging their bond, or the knot, in two ways.

The first is to handle a task that Yan Huan originally did for Bai Yi, directly dissolving the bond.

For instance, Bai Yi had previously released Lemon’s dirt on her own.

The second is to eliminate the antecedents of the bond event.

For example, Bai Yi had taken the music sheets, smothering the plagiarism incident in the cradle.

Since Yan Huan was also present today, there was a risk of encountering Yan Huan making a big mess if she handled it, so Bai Yi planned to use the second method.

"Yan Huan thought of the BGM replacement method when she saw my state in the lounge before, so as long as I cheer up before that, Past Me will be uplifted, and Yan Huan won’t act as before...

"Then, at the crucial moment, I’ll push the envelope, assisting Yan Huan in replacing my BGM."

Yan Huan nodded, generally approving of her logic.

Just...

"Specifically, meow, how will you cheer up?"

"Isn’t this simple... Just disguise myself, as long as Past Me doesn’t recognize it’s me, and claim to be her fan, right?"

Bai Yi patted her small bag, then took out a small pill.

It was a modifier item obtained earlier in a certain if-line, capable of altering appearances, now was the perfect time to use it,

"But after all, Yan Huan is my real fan, I’m just a fake fan, I might not truly pull off Yan Huan’s genuine feelings towards me... still unsure how effective it’ll be..."

Saying this, Bai Yi somewhat reluctantly swallowed the pill.

In an instant, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

To an outsider, her originally stunning face turned plain and unremarkable, blending into the crowd, only a pair of starry eyes still shone brightly.

"...Yan Ye, do you have any advice? Or anything you could teach me?"

Hearing this, Yan Huan awkwardly averted his gaze, quietly saying,

"How should I call you, I’m not good at lying, meow..."

[Wow, so easy to fool!]

You guys!

Yan Huan hadn’t fooled Bai Yi much lately, hadn’t seen it in a while, yet it suddenly popped up now?!

"Well... never mind, I’ll figure this out myself. After all, I know myself best, what Past Me wants to hear, I know full well..."

Originally didn’t have much hope for Yan Huan, Bai Yi continued on her own, stepping out of the stall and checking her appearance in the mirror.
