Chapter 1 Peace Hotel

East Sea, Huangpu District, East Nanjing Road, Peace Hotel.

As the most iconic landmark in the Bund architectural complex, the historic Peace Hotel has stood here for over 100 years.

While it may not be the most luxurious hotel in Donghai City, nor the one with the best food, choosing it for banquets or gatherings always ensures sufficient class and prestige.

Between the lavish and brilliantly lit North and South Buildings, a Hongqi sedan with a unique license plate and an Alphard van drove into the parking lot almost simultaneously, then headed to the same private room to meet.

"Good day, Ms. Zhao."

A beautiful server in a historical-style uniform bowed to Zhao Yingjun:

"Some guests are already waiting in the private room. May I ask if this is a family dinner today?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"Just a family meal, nothing fancy or elaborate."

"Very well, please be seated. Feel free to call on me if you need anything."

The server bowed and opened the private room door for Zhao Yingjun.

Inside.

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Yan Qiaoqiao were already seated at the table, waiting.

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked, looking at the Pomeranian dog Zhao Yingjun was holding:

"Puppy."

"Vv!"

The Pomeranian, Vv, made a cheerful sound and jumped out of Zhao Yingjun's arms.

It dashed under the table, then leaped up and onto Yan Qiaoqiao's lap, nestling into her arms.

"Puppy."

Yan Qiaoqiao hugged Vv, the fluffy dandelion looking almost oversized in her petite embrace, creating the visual effect of holding a young Alaskan Malamute.

"Her name is Vv."

Zhao Yingjun looked at the little girl being affectionate with the Pomeranian:

"Just call her name, she seems to like you very much."

Yan Qiaoqiao put her hands under the Pomeranian's armpits and lifted it up:

"Vv."

She softly called the Pomeranian's name.

"Vv!"

The Pomeranian responded happily.

Then.

Yan Qiaoqiao placed the Pomeranian on a plate, her eyes serious:

"Eat meat."

"Gah?"

The Pomeranian Vv, startled, puffed up like a dandelion.

"Oh, Qiaoqiao, you can't put the pet on the table! It's not sanitary!"

Yan Mei hurriedly picked up Vv and placed it on the floor, then moved Yan Qiaoqiao's utensils aside and called a server:

"Excuse me, please change the tableware for us. This set has been touched by the dog."

Zhao Ruihai also sighed softly.

He felt like the meal hadn't even started yet, and it was already like a battle, fraught with danger.

He patted Yan Qiaoqiao's head, gently advising:

"Qiaoqiao, we're meeting a very important guest today, a very nice uncle. You have to be polite. This kind of formal occasion is different from being at home, you have to behave, or others will dislike you and laugh at Grandpa and Grandma."

"So, be obedient today, don't move around, don't talk nonsense. Just sit here and eat your food, tell Grandpa what you want to eat, and after you're full, this private room is so big, you can hold Vv and play nearby."

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded obediently.

She held out her right index finger, pointing at Zhao Ruihai's temples:

"White hair."

"Hehe, right, right, Grandpa has white hair, of course, I'm getting old. Come on, help Grandpa pull it out, let's see how strong Qiaoqiao is!"

Saying that, Zhao Ruihai turned his head, bringing his temples closer to Yan Qiaoqiao.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiaoqiao was quick-witted and had excellent dynamic vision.

She hesitated hardly at all, without any aiming, reached out to Zhao Ruihai's ear, pinching with her fingers in mid-air! A pluck!

Before Zhao Ruihai could react,

That white hair was already pinched precisely in Yan Qiaoqiao's fingertips.

Zhao Ruihai was stunned for a moment.

This speed,

This strength,

This eyesight,

Too amazing! Truly his granddaughter!

"Good!"

He couldn't help but praise:

"You see, Qiaoqiao is really improving rapidly, almost like a different person every day. It's so rewarding to raise Qiaoqiao, you can see her progress every day."

"Of course!"

Yan Mei said, also beaming with pride:

"Our Qiaoqiao is very talented, I've known it for a long time. You see, she not only learns things quickly, but her hearing, vision, and hand-foot coordination are all excellent."

"Just look at how she pulled out Old Zhao's white hair just now, smooth and precise. In my opinion, Qiaoqiao's hands are perfect for being a doctor, performing surgery, or doing cutting-edge research in the future."

"Hehe." Zhao Yingjun laughed unexpectedly:

"Are you really treating her like a three-year-old? She's already over ten years old, it's normal to have this kind of dexterity, stop exaggerating."

"Besides, she didn't learn from scratch, she just has amnesia. After Professor Xu Yun passed away, I also learned some knowledge about hibernation and the side effects of amnesia. This kind of simple memory loss doesn't actually affect listening, speaking, reading, writing skills, or physical coordination."

"Even if Qiaoqiao's memory can't be recovered in the end, the most basic listening, speaking, reading, writing, and motor skills will recover quickly, so stop treating her like a child, set rules when necessary, and scold her when necessary."

"If you miss this best period for cognitive development and fail to cultivate good habits and manners, it will be difficult to correct it later."

However,

Zhao Yingjun was seriously lecturing on parenting,

But the grandparents who were praising their granddaughter didn't hear a single word.

In their eyes,

Their granddaughter was the best at everything.

She was just too thin.

She needed to eat more to be healthy.

Yan Mei turned her head, looking at Zhao Yingjun:

"Don't say such discouraging things. Who says Yan Qiaoqiao's memory can't be recovered? Your father has already made appointments with the best brain specialists in the country and the best neurology director at Ruijin Hospital. We'll take Qiaoqiao to Ruijin Hospital tomorrow for a comprehensive examination."

"Including bone age and nutrition, we need to know Qiaoqiao's specific situation, right? She doesn't know how old she is because she doesn't have any memory. We can roughly understand her age by testing her bone age. This way, we'll have an idea of how to raise Qiaoqiao and what school to send her to in the future."

Zhao Ruihai also nodded:

"Mainly, I still want to see if there's any way to help Qiaoqiao recover her memory. In fields we don't understand, medical technology should be very advanced, maybe there really is a way to help Qiaoqiao find her lost memories."

"As long as Qiaoqiao recovers her memory, she can remember a lot of things."

After saying that,

The old couple looked at each other, then glanced sideways at Zhao Yingjun.

Zhao Yingjun naturally noticed the looks.

She closed her eyes.

Right now, her family, or at least this dinner table, was in a situation similar to "Werewolf."

Yan Qiaoqiao didn't know who she was;

Her parents only knew that Yan Qiaoqiao was related to them by blood, but didn't know the specific relationship;

She had tested the biological mother-daughter relationship with Yan Qiaoqiao, but hadn't told her parents.

How could she bring it up?

Even if she could, what would happen next?

Raise a child?

Accept the fact that she had a teenage daughter without ever being married or giving birth?

Zhao Yingjun didn't think she was that magnanimous.

To be honest,

She couldn't accept it.

Therefore,

She had to find out the truth.

Only a reasonable truth could make her truly accept this matter, accept this daughter who had suddenly appeared.

"If her memory can be recovered, that's of course a good thing."

Zhao Yingjun said calmly:

"I'm also looking forward to the day when Yan Qiaoqiao recovers her memory. I really hope that the brain specialists in China can come up with some way to end this absurd farce."

Squeak

While everyone was talking, the private room door was pushed open by a server, and Lin Xian walked in with two bags of beautifully packaged tea, smiling.

Zhao Yingjun immediately stood up, introducing Lin Xian to her parents:

"Dad, Mom, this is Lin Xian, the Lin Xian you've been wanting to meet."

Zhao Ruihai stood up with a smile, took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Xian, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Hahaha, Lin Xian, I've heard so much about you, I finally get to meet you today!"

Lin Xian nodded and smiled:

"You're too kind. Compared to you, I'm just an unknown junior, I still need to learn a lot from you."

"Oh dear, look at Lin Xian, so eloquent! Such a handsome young man!"

Yan Mei also turned to the side, looking Lin Xian up and down, her eyes full of approval:

"Look at his height, so tall and handsome! And so refined! No wonder Yingjun always praised you when she came home for the New Year. Auntie can tell at a glance that you're a kind-hearted and virtuous young man!"

"Come, come, don't just stand at the door, come in and sit down, let's sit down and chat!"

Lin Xian also closed the private room door, placing the two bags of tea he was carrying on the tea table next to him:

"Uncle and Auntie, this is Longjing new tea from our Hangzhou, freshly roasted this year. Knowing that you have everything you need, I didn't know what gift to bring to meet you, so I brought some tea from home, it's also a local specialty."

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei's family naturally liked polite children very much. Seeing that Lin Xian was so sensible and courteous, they also felt a good impression, pushing him to sit:

"Look at you, Lin Xian, you're too polite. Your aunt and I came specifically to thank you. Next time you come to the capital, be sure to tell Yingjun or us, and we'll host you in the capital."

"Now that everyone's here, let's start serving the dishes."

Zhao Ruihai told the server to start serving the dishes and to open the wine he had brought and pour it into the decanter.

Lin Xian took off his coat and hung it on the wall, then sat down in the position to Zhao Ruihai's right.

Yan Qiaoqiao sat between Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei.

Lin Xian was to the left of Zhao Ruihai and to the right of Zhao Yingjun.

Zhao Yingjun was to the right of Yan Mei.

The private room was not large, after all, there were only five people and a dog, the smaller the cozier.

"Let me introduce you, Lin Xian."

After two cold dishes were served and everyone raised a glass, Zhao Yingjun volunteered to introduce, pointing with her hand:

"This is my father, Zhao Ruihai, we talked about him before, you must remember."

"This is my mother, Yan Mei, she just honorably retired from her teaching position this year."

"This is"

Zhao Yingjun's hand pointed to Yan Qiaoqiao, who was busy grinding chopsticks in the middle.

She paused.

Tightening her lips, she slowly said:

"This is a relative's granddaughter from my mother's hometown, Yan Qiaoqiao."

Lin Xian smiled and waved to Yan Qiaoqiao in a friendly manner:

"Hello, Qiaoqiao."

Yan Qiaoqiao stopped what she was doing, held out the chopsticks of judgment, pointing straight at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian."

"No, no, no" Zhao Ruihai quickly pressed down Yan Qiaoqiao's chopsticks. It was too uncivilized and impolite to point at people with chopsticks.

He smiled apologetically, looking at Lin Xian:

"This little girl from the hometown doesn't have any manners, don't mind her."

Then he patted Yan Qiaoqiao's head, saying to her:

"Qiaoqiao, you can't call elders by their first name, you have to call them by their title. This is your Uncle Lin Xian, come on, call him uncle."

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked, looking at Lin Xian:

"Uncle."

Then she turned her head, looking at Zhao Yingjun, her eyes clear:

"Sister."???

Lin Xian's brain was a little overloaded, he couldn't figure it out.

What kind of complicated family relationship was this?

Zhao Yingjun just introduced that Yan Qiaoqiao was the granddaughter of Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei's generation.

That wasn't hard to understand.

The little girl and Yan Mei shared the same last name, so she must be a relative from the mother's side.

Although it was unknown whether this relationship was close or distant, in terms of generation, she definitely had to call Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei Grandpa and Grandma.

Calling himself uncle wasn't unreasonable in terms of age, he also had a younger nephew around her age.

But,

How did it become sister with Zhao Yingjun?

Not to mention Lin Xian,

Even if Super AI Vv came, this family ethical relationship couldn't be sorted out.

Lin Xian turned his head to look at Zhao Yingjun, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Should he acknowledge the uncle and default to being Zhao Yingjun's father's generation?

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian and smiled, holding out her index finger, pointing to her head, circling her fingertip twice:

"This little girl, how to say it, her brain is a little"

"Oh oh oh."

Lin Xian understood instantly.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt that this little girl's eyes were a little too clear, even revealing a hint of ignorance and stupidity.

Now that Zhao Yingjun explained, he understood.

So this little girl had some problems with her brain, so he couldn't demand too much, let her call him whatever she wanted.

"Qiaoqiao, just call me brother."

Lin Xian looked at this little girl who became more and more cute and pleasing to the eye:

"I'm not that much older than you anyway, just call me brother, it makes me look younger too."

Yan Qiaoqiao was very obedient.

Just like a big-faced cat, she hadn't yet developed any sophistication or scheming, belonging to the stage where she believed whatever others said:

"Brother."

She was as concise as ever.

"This little girl is really cute." Lin Xian looked around the table, praising:

"And she's really beautiful, naturally beautiful, like a flower."

Yan Qiaoqiao lowered her head.

She looked into the widened eyes of the Pomeranian Vv.

Neither person nor dog could understand

The four adults at the table, every word was about social interaction, that was truly authentic.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei also felt that this little boy was really good, showing high EQ by defusing the awkwardness.

"Come on, Lin Xian, they drink their drinks, let's not delay us drinking, let's have another toast."

Zhao Ruihai raised his glass and drank with Lin Xian, drawing the topic away from Yan Qiaoqiao.

The matter of Yan Qiaoqiao was indeed very complicated.

He didn't intend to tell Lin Xian in detail, saving himself from being laughed at by others.

"After Yingjun told us about you saving her from the gangsters last year, your aunt and I have been thinking about coming to Donghai to thank you personally."

After drinking it all, Zhao Ruihai put down his glass, looking at Lin Xian, slowly saying:

"But there hasn't been a suitable opportunity, so it's been delayed until now to meet you, it's really been a breach of etiquette, please don't mind."

"I wouldn't, you're too kind."

Lin Xian said:

"I've been working at President Zhao's company since I graduated, and she's taken care of me a lot, but I haven't had a chance to repay her. In comparison, what I did that day was self-preservation, and it was also something I should have done for President Zhao."

"To be honest, the establishment and operation of my current company is also thanks to President Zhao's help. If I really want to thank someone, it should be me thanking her. It can be said that without President Zhao, there would be no me today."

Zhao Yingjun smiled as she listened to these words.

She tucked the hair that had fallen on her cheek behind her ear, then looked up and said:

"Lin Xian, since you've left MX Company and have your own career, don't call me President Zhao all the time, it sounds distant. Just like my parents, call me Yingjun, we have such a good relationship, don't be so restrained and formal, just like eating at your own home."

After Zhao Yingjun said this, Lin Xian remembered that he had always addressed Zhao Yingjun as President Zhao.

Mainly because he came to MX Company as soon as he graduated.

After calling her President Zhao for so many years, it was indeed a little uncomfortable to suddenly change his address.

But since the other party had said so, he couldn't refuse:

"Okay."

Lin Xian agreed, then clinked glasses with Zhao Ruihai and drank, chatting about some things in life, answering some of Zhao Ruihai's questions.

Across from him, Yan Mei used serving chopsticks to put some meat into Yan Qiaoqiao's plate, patiently saying:

"Qiaoqiao, stop playing with Vv, eat first, then play after you're full."

Vv?

Lin Xian was a little surprised, turning his head to look at Zhao Yingjun:

"Vv is here too?"

Zhao Yingjun moved her chin, glancing towards Yan Qiaoqiao's lower body:

"There she is, Vv jumped onto Qiaoqiao's lap as soon as she came in, they're very close."

"It's strange, Vv was exceptionally affectionate and familiar with Qiaoqiao the first time they met, almost the same as when she first met you, she just clung to her and rubbed against her."

"This dog really impresses me, it seems like she's familiar with everyone except me; she clings to anyone except me."

After saying that,

She thought about it, then shook her head:

"I can't say that, I thought about it carefully, Vv was also indifferent to my relatives when she saw them during the New Year, very aloof, baring her teeth as soon as they approached."

"It seems like Vv is only special to you and Qiaoqiao, I really don't know what special magic you two have."

Lin Xian straightened up slightly.

Sure enough,

He saw the dandelion Vv on Yan Qiaoqiao's lap.

She was very comfortable, very relaxed, to the point that she had ignored him for so long.

This inexplicably made Lin Xian a little disappointed.

What happened to Vv being closest to him?

How could she be so fickle and abandon him so quickly?

After looking at the Vv on Yan Qiaoqiao's lap, Lin Xian shifted his gaze upward, finally having the opportunity to observe Yan Qiaoqiao in his free time.

He had been too busy socializing just now, not really paying attention to this little girl.

Now taking a closer look,

She looked so much like Zhao Yingjun!

He looked right at Zhao Yingjun, then left at Yan Qiaoqiao, really feeling like they were sisters!

Whether it was their eyebrows, face shape, or the details of their features, they were almost identical.

Was Zhao Yingjun's mother's family's genes so strong?

However, he could still see some differences, with obvious differences in their ears, foreheads, and chins compared to Zhao Yingjun.

She was indeed stunning at first glance, but after looking at her a few more times, he didn't feel like she looked the same as Zhao Yingjun.

Lin Xian rarely had the opportunity to interact with teenage girls.

He had experienced two recently.

Fake Yu Xi, and real Yu Xi, two life-threatening ghosts.

However, those two Yu Xi were obviously a year or two older than Yan Qiaoqiao; in terms of physique, they were also much stronger, with many traces of exercise on their bodies, and obvious muscle lines.

In comparison,

Yan Qiaoqiao's physique was too petite, even a little heartbreakingly thin.

She was also a little shorter, probably just around one meter five, with thin arms and legs, seeming at most thirteen or fourteen years old.

Of course,

If we were to talk about the biggest difference between Yan Qiaoqiao and the real and fake Yu Xi, it was naturally their eyes.

Whether it was the real Yu Xi or the fake Yu Xi, their eyes emitted a chilling and bright blue light, and their eyes were very sharp, full of murderous intent.

And Yan Qiaoqiao's eyes

Not to mention that they were dark and round.

From her eyes, Lin Xian could only read "Aba Aba Aba"

At this moment,

Lin Xian recalled the question he had discussed with Jask.

Had the real Yu Xi, the time assassin Lin Yu Xi, really disappeared from this timeline?

Jask's idea at the time was that she had definitely disappeared.

The evidence was that the blue USB drive from the future in his hand had turned into blue stardust after the space-time loop was broken.

Therefore,

The girl who traveled from the future timeline would naturally be unable to close the space-time logic due to the destruction of the entangled space-time particles, and would then turn into blue stardust and disappear.

It was the first time that Lin Xian and Jask had broken a space-time loop, and neither of them had any experience, so they didn't know what the result would be.

Moreover, Lin Yu Xi saw that Jask was going to destroy the space-time particles and quickly jumped out of the window to run away, which also meant that Lin Xian and Jask were unable to verify the result.

Lin Yu Xi's facial data had already been entered into the Skynet system. Once she was photographed by a surveillance camera anywhere in the Dragon Kingdom, it would immediately report to the police.

After the police were alerted, the director of the National Security Agency, Liu An, would definitely remind himself.

But the fact was,

These past few days had been peaceful, and the Skynet system had not photographed any suspicious figures of Lin Yu Xi.

That meant that there seemed to be only two outcomes for Lin Yu Xi:

1. She was hiding in the deep mountains and forests, not exposing her whereabouts under surveillance cameras.

2. Lin Yu Xi had indeed turned into blue stardust and dissipated.

Lin Xian desperately hoped that it was the second one.

Hopefully the time assassin would hurry up and leave, he didn't want to experience a second life-or-death chase.

Right now, he didn't have a "Terminator" protecting him, so if he was chased by a time assassin again, he would definitely lose his life.

Moreover,

There was another thing that Lin Xian cared about.

If Lin Yu Xi had turned into blue stardust and disappeared, would the virus that Jask spread on the internet, which was specifically designed to hunt down super AIs, also disappear synchronously?

If it really disappeared,

Then he could try to revive Vv.

With Vv's help, his combat power would reach its peak again, and many problems would no longer be problems.

Then he would decide after the next dream change.

That was what Lin Xian thought.

If every dream change, every shift of the timeline, meant the breaking of a space-time loop and the opening of a new loop,

Then the more loops that were broken, the greater the chance that the virus on the internet would disappear.

He only had the only Vv fragment left.

He couldn't act rashly, ultimately making a mistake that led to Vv's true death.

"Lin Xian, I heard from Yingjun that you're also an only child?"

After three rounds of wine, the food on the table was almost finished.

Yan Qiaoqiao had long been full, her stomach round, and she was chasing and playing hide-and-seek with the Pomeranian Vv in the private room.

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, Zhao Yingjun, and Lin Xian began to chat happily.

Yan Mei looked at Lin Xian:

"For you only children, you should consider your parents, get married and have children early, so that your parents can hold their grandchildren early, that's true filial piety."

"If you had more siblings, your parents definitely wouldn't urge you, right? But you're all only children, so they can only rely on you to carry on the family line. It's the heart of parents everywhere, sometimes urging you is really out of helplessness."

Listening to Yan Mei's veiled nagging,

Zhao Yingjun folded her arms, glanced at Lin Xian, giving him a "See, I told you so?" look.

What could Lin Xian say?

He could only smile helplessly, silent, not chiming in.

But Yan Mei's persuasion didn't stop, continuing to say:

"Actually, from the perspective of elderly care, only children like you should marry into non-only-child families, people with siblings."?

A question mark appeared on Zhao Yingjun's head:

"Why?"

"Because the pressure of elderly care is lower!"

Yan Mei explained:

"You see, if both sides of the marriage are only children, then in the future, you two will have to support four old people."

"If either the man's or woman's side has a sibling, it's very different. The pressure of elderly care is instantly reduced a lot, and there will be someone to help you with your parents' health problems, wouldn't you say so?"

"Forget it."

Zhao Yingjun shook her head decisively, her position firm:

"My idea is different from yours, I think it's better to find an only child."

"In today's society, many relationships inside and outside are difficult to get along with. In a family, it's impossible to be absolutely fair, there will always be various conflicts and misunderstandings."

"Nowadays on the internet, all kinds of stories about supporting brothers and demon little sisters making both families a mess, including brothers fighting over family property and not supporting their parents, are everywhere. In comparison, only-child families have fewer troubles and worries."

"Hey, what you're saying is too extreme!" Yan Mei snorted, refuting:

"Those are just jokes on the internet, in reality"

"&"

""???

Lin Xian sat up straight, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

What was going on?

How could these mother and daughter start debating at the table about whether only children should marry only children?

The two were naturally not arguing.

It was just that the debate was a little intense, especially Zhao Yingjun, it was rare to see her so seriously and resolutely refuting a point of view.

Maybe this also showed that

Every child would eventually debate with their parents about the issue of urging marriage.

Lin Xian only hoped that the flames of war between the mother and daughter would not spread to him.

Don't turn their heads and ask for his opinion, saying, "Lin Xian, what do you think? What do you think?"

That would be embarrassing.

It was difficult for an upright official to judge family affairs, let the Zhao family solve their own problems.

Lin Xian picked up his water glass and began to strategically drink water. According to convention, the period of drinking water was a state of no disturbance and invisibility.

But,

He didn't guard against another discerning eye!

Swish.

A delicate finger, like a small scallion root, pointed straight at the back of his head.

Lin Xian turned his side, lowered his head, just in time to meet Yan Qiaoqiao's sharp gaze.

She was serious, her eyes fixed on the back of Lin Xian's head:

"White hair."

"Huh?"

Lin Xian was stunned, reflexively tilting his head down:

"Do I have white hair?"

Seeing Lin Xian tilt his head, Yan Qiaoqiao also launched a conditioned reflex.

Just like the game Grandpa played with her.

She keenly and agilely reached out her fingers, precisely pinching the white hair with the speed of lightning! Pulling hard!

"Hiss!"

Lin Xian felt a tingling in his scalp, taking a breath!

This commotion also interrupted Zhao Yingjun and Yan Mei's battle, and the Zhao family of three looked over, immediately scolding Yan Qiaoqiao:

"Qiaoqiao! How can you be so rude!"

"What are you doing!"

"Come back! Why are you pulling Lin Xian's hair for no reason!"

Lin Xian rubbed his scalp, looking at Yan Qiaoqiao:

"Did you pull it out?"

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded seriously, raising her right hand.

She had accurately pinched a few centimeters of white hair between the tips of her thumb and forefinger, without any mistakes.

"There really is one."

Lin Xian was slightly surprised.

He was only in his twenties, and he had never grown any white hairs in his many years of study and work.

It seemed that this period was really too tiring, too exhausting, and too worrying.

It was probably too anxious when he was fleeing in the United States, so he grew white hair.

In any case,

He couldn't complain to Yan Qiaoqiao in front of the Zhao family.

Besides,

Yan Qiaoqiao's original intention was also to help him pull out the white hair, the technique was indeed a bit rough, but there was no malice.

So, Lin Xian smiled and rubbed the top of Yan Qiaoqiao's head:

"Great job, thank you."

However,

It was just this smile.

Just by putting these two faces close together for comparison,

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Zhao Yingjun couldn't help but widen their eyes!

Their eyes quickly scanned and compared Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao's faces.

They couldn't see it when the two were far apart.

But!

Now they were almost face to face, face to face!

Many small details that couldn't be seen before were now revealed in the comparison!

Ears

Forehead

Chin

This!

Even Zhao Yingjun was shocked by this discovery!

Although they couldn't be said to be exactly the same,

At least,

Yan Qiaoqiao's ears, forehead, and chin were unusually similar to Lin Xian's ears, forehead, and chin!

These details couldn't be seen if they were a little further away.

Now this face-to-face side-by-side picture was too rare, a glance was enough to see the truth!

"Uh"

Zhao Ruihai didn't know what to say for a moment.

He swallowed a few gulps of saliva.

He wanted to say something but stopped.

Ultimately,

He swallowed the words in his throat.

He took a step back, standing up from his seat:

"Um, I'm going to the restroom."

Saying that, he looked at his wife next to him:

"Are you going?"

After so many years of being an old married couple, could she not understand the meaning of this hint?

Yan Mei also quickly got up, pulled out a napkin and wiped her mouth:

"Going, going, going, I was just saying I was going, but I don't know where the restroom is."

Saying that,

She and Zhao Ruihai walked to the door, looking back at the three people in the private room who resembled a "family of three":

"Yingjun, your dad and I are going to the restroom, you guys chat first."

After finishing speaking,

The private room door slammed shut.

At this time, Zhao Yingjun was also frowning slightly, staring at the white hair pinched in Yan Qiaoqiao's fingertips.

She didn't dare to think about it carefully.

She didn't dare to think deeply.

She didn't even dare to think too much.

She also got up from her chair, reached out her hand, grabbed Yan Qiaoqiao's right hand, pulled her back from Lin Xian, and said calmly:

"Qiaoqiao, you can't be so impolite outside. Even if you want to help others, you have to get their consent and permission first, quickly apologize to Brother Lin Xian."

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked her innocent eyes, looking at Lin Xian:

"Brother, apologize."

"Ah, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Xian laughed it off, how could he be angry with such a cute little girl who was not quite right in the head?

Now that he had seen so many of Yan Qiaoqiao's bizarre actions, Lin Xian had long accepted this slightly mentally retarded or weak character setting.

He could only hope that Yan Qiaoqiao would suffer less grievances and less bullying when she grew up. Intelligence was something that couldn't be developed a second time at this age.

Lin Xian couldn't help but feel sorry for Yan Qiaoqiao's biological parents.

Having given birth to such a not-so-smart girl,

They would definitely have to worry a lot more in this life, right?

Zhao Yingjun tapped Yan Qiaoqiao on the head:

"It's not asking brother to apologize! It's asking you to apologize to brother! Say sorry quickly."

"Sorry."

Yan Qiaoqiao honestly repeated.

"Okay, sit here and eat some more staple food, you've been playing with your Vv for so long just now, you must be hungry, right?"

Zhao Yingjun pressed Yan Qiaoqiao onto the chair next to her like she was playing with a doll, then released her hand that had been holding her small hand.

Yan Qiaoqiao tilted her head in confusion.

Looking at her empty fingertips, the white hair that had already disappeared:

"White""White bun, right?"

Zhao Yingjun interrupted her quickly, super-speedily grabbing a bun and stuffing it into Yan Qiaoqiao's mouth:

"Okay, eat slowly, don't choke."

Then she turned to look at Lin Xian, smiling helplessly:

"Sorry, I originally said I didn't want to bring a child, but my parents dote on children, there was no way, and they also felt uneasy about leaving Yan Qiaoqiao at home, so"

Lin Xian didn't mind, shaking his head:

"It's okay, Yan Qiaoqiao is very cute, maybe she'll understand when she grows up."

Zhao Yingjun hooked the hair on her cheek with her left hand, tucking it behind her ear.

Her right hand,

However, at an angle that Lin Xian couldn't see, reached into her pants pocket, putting something light inside.

The Pomeranian Vv in the corner of the carpet once again took in this treacherous scene!
