"..."

Upon hearing the words, Bai Yi, who was in the passenger seat, blinked.

Actually, curiosity urged her to ask "Why," but seeing Officer Zhou’s stern face, she felt embarrassed to ask and could only grumble internally.

Maybe it’s because he’s a policeman, and her father is a criminal?

In his eyes, only fools do crime...

Bai Yi thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Yan Huan blinked and looked outside at the ever-closer outline of the prison.

They were almost there. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

...

...

Truth be told, Yan Huan was not unfamiliar with this prison.

Not because he had been there, but because he had watched many TV dramas since childhood and gotten impressions from them.

After all, there are only two prisons in Linmen, and film crews have no other choice but to shoot there; otherwise, they could only go to the islands outside Linmen to build sets.

However, these impressions were limited to the prison’s off-white exterior walls and the roughly seven or eight-meter-high exterior walls.

He had never had the chance to understand the internal structure until today.

Following Bai Yi, he finally got to see it, and even had a seat in the prison.

"Wait here for a bit while we summon him."

Upon entering, Officer Zhou changed into a work uniform and led Bai Yi to a visitation room, telling her to wait there briefly.

Bai Yi nodded and then sat down with Yan Huan in her arms in front of the glass, rubbing the telephone handset used for conversation, her breathing accelerated slightly.

She was somewhat nervous.

"Meow..."

Feeling her rising and falling chest, Yan Huan turned back to look at her expression.

She stared directly at the tightly closed door on the other side of the glass and asked Yan Huan in a low voice,

"My dad, he’s not going to look like some... ferocious villain, is he?"

"... He’s here for an economic crime, meow."

"Hmph, Yan Ye, don’t you know? It’s hard to know a person’s heart from their face, and vice versa."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan opened his mouth in surprise and glanced at Bai Yi,

"You’re actually saying something like that; are you preparing for an exam?"

"Hmph, my learning ability is quite strong, after all."

"Doesn’t seem like it, meow..."

"Thud!"

As soon as the words were out, Bai Yi gave Yan Huan a thump.

So he crinkled his face and buried his head in Bai Yi’s arms.

But thinking again, Yan Huan also felt that she had indeed become much smarter staying by his side during this time.

This was evident from the wise sayings she now casually spouted.

"Click～"

At this moment, the door on the other side of the visitation room slowly opened.

Bai Yi’s hand caressing Yan Huan slightly paused, her starry eyes flickering as she watched several policemen escorting a middle-aged man in prison clothes into the room.

The man’s hair was graying, slightly long, yet not messy.

His complexion was not good, slightly yellowish, indicating poor health.

The dry skin was full of wrinkles, deepening as he smiled upon seeing the beautiful girl sitting across the glass.

"..."

Seeing the man’s smile, Bai Yi couldn’t help but pause slightly, and Yan Huan’s eyes also sparkled.

He read a lot from that smile.

First, the smile was very similar to Bai Yi’s.

At first glance, one wouldn’t think so, but when he smiled, it became obvious, as if his eyebrows and eyes were the prototype for Bai Yi’s.

Secondly, he seemed to be a very optimistic and kind person.

Some things are hard to explain; subjectively speaking, some people can roughly judge a person’s character from just one expression.

The person in front of him was just like that.

At first glance, he gave Yan Huan a feeling that matched his name:

"Bai Letian..."

Behind him, Officer Zhou glanced at Bai Yi, then walked towards the door, saying,

"Watch the time. You need to go back to take your medicine on time."

"Okay, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Letian nodded and sat tremblingly across from Bai Yi.

"..."

Bai Yi’s body instantly stiffened, her lips slightly parted, unable to speak for a moment, she could only nervously clutch her skirt.

She didn’t know what to say.

Especially...

The address.

However, fortunately, the kind man in front seemed to sense her anxiety and initiated the conversation first, opening the topic,

"Yiyi, I heard from Brother Zhou about your performance today..."

"Ah?"

"It’s because I asked him to find your mom today, so..."

"No!"

Bai Yi shook her head quickly, explaining,

"It’s just that I was... too nervous."

"That’s... that’s good then..."

Just a few exchanges, and Bai Yi, who had been staring down at her skirt, finally raised her gaze, meeting his eyes.

"Though these words may not be mine to say, consider it a... fan’s suggestion? I’ve always felt that you’re not suited for performing those, but rather, you’re very suited for singing."

"Really? Actually, I think so too! And, another of my fans thinks the same..."

"A fan?"

"Uh, well..."

At the thought of Yan Huan, Bai Yi’s face turned slightly red, and she smiled with a shifty gaze.

Seeing this, Bai Letian was slightly stunned, and then also displayed the same smile.

"..."

Yan Huan stayed in Bai Yi’s arms, listening to their conversation.

But it was basically always careful to avoid any inappropriate topics... or rather, to avoid "Zuo Jiangqin."

Bai Letian didn’t mention how his letters hadn’t been received, at most he asked "How is your mom?" and other questions, just finding out information about the recent life that he wasn’t aware of.

Bai Yi, still not mature enough, ultimately let curiosity tear a little at the harmonious atmosphere,
