After sending the two children to kindergarten, Lin Xiao went to visit the prison.
He waited quietly, and soon the Luo Cheng couple was brought out.
Luo Cheng was now wearing a prison uniform, his once long hair cut into a short buzz, and his fair skin, which clearly showed he didn't do much manual labor, was now tanned. His face was full of fatigue.
It was evident he wasn't adapting well to life inside.
When the couple saw Lin Xiao, their expressions were not good. Luo Cheng immediately asked with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"
"Just checking how you two are doing," Lin Xiao replied. "Are you adapting to life in here? I haven't seen you cause any trouble so far."
"None of your business."
Luo Cheng's attitude was terrible. Why was he in here? Why was he living this kind of life? Wasn't it all because of Lin Xiao!
Without Lin Xiao, he would still be living a carefree life!
His wife, however, kept her head down, afraid to speak.
She had witnessed Lin Xiao's capabilities and dared not speak rashly, fearing that any words would make life in here unbearable.
Lin Xiao shrugged. He had made arrangements for the Luo family members in prison; they wouldn't be mistreated by other inmates, but would undergo normal labor reform.
"Of course, I don't care how you are doing, but do you know what day it is tomorrow?"
Lin Xiao said indifferently. If these two died in prison, he would suffer no loss, at most the old lady would cry her eyes out.
"What day?"
The two exchanged glances, unable to think of any important occasion tomorrow that would warrant Lin Xiao's personal visit.
The old master's birthday?
The old lady's birthday?
Luo Buyu's birthday?
Luo Qinghan's birthday?
They mentally excluded each possibility, but couldn't figure it out.
"Kindergarten's Parent-Child Day."
Lin Xiao said.
"Parent-Child Day..."
Zhang Huan's expression changed. She suddenly remembered and instinctively snatched the microphone, "How is Bingbing now? You wouldn't bully him, would you? Tell me! How is Bingbing!"
Her emotions were intense. She had been suppressing her longing for Bingbing, and the moment Lin Xiao spoke, she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. He's just a child. I've just disciplined him a bit and corrected some of his bad habits," Lin Xiao said, signaling her to calm down. "It's Parent-Child Day tomorrow, and he misses his parents."
"Bingbing..."
Zhang Huan appeared flustered, "Can I request leave to go see him! I haven't seen him in so long!"
Luo Cheng remained silent, not knowing what to say.
In a sense, he was not a qualified father.
"You two can request leave for one person, for half a day," Lin Xiao said. "After all, you are the child's parents, and children need their parents during their growth."
It was only because he had developed feelings for Bingbing during this time, and the little fellow wasn't as detestable as before, that he would consider their situation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the couple, Luo Cheng and Zhang Huan, to be granted leave at this time.
Especially for this reason.
The couple fell silent.
Luo Cheng looked at his wife. After some thought, he said, "You go."
