He could only helplessly smile, remain silent, and not join in the conversation.
But Yan Mei’s persuasion didn’t stop; she continued:
“Actually, from the perspective of elder care, as only children like you guys, you should consider marrying someone from a family with siblings.”
A question mark appeared over Zhao Yingjun’s head:
“Why?”
“Because the pressure of elder care is lower!”
Yan Mei explained:
“Look, if both sides of the marriage are only children, then later on, you two will need to take care of four elderly parents and also have two kids of your own, that’s a lot of pressure!”
“If either side has siblings, it’s a whole different story.
The pressure of elder care reduces significantly, and there is someone else to help if the parents have health problems…
don’t you think?”
“Forget it.”
Zhao Yingjun shook her head decisively, standing firm:
“[My thinking is different from yours, I believe it’s better to marry an only child.]”
“Nowadays, inside and out, many relationships are difficult to maintain.

In one family, it’s impossible to be absolutely fair, there are always various conflicts and misunderstandings.”
“Today online, with all those sister-in-law demons and little sister-in-laws causing both families distress…
including siblings fighting over inheritance, not supporting their parents are all too common.
Compared to this, only-child families have far fewer troubles and headaches.”
“Hey, what you are saying is too extreme!” Yan Mei huffed in rebuttal:
“That’s just online stories, in reality…”
“#%ï¿¥#&*（##）”
“#ï¿¥%…%（*)”
???
Lin Xian sat upright, feeling on pins and needles.
What’s going on?
Why has this mother and daughter duo, revolving around whether only children should marry other only children, suddenly started debating this at the dinner table?
They weren’t arguing.
It was just that the debate got a bit intense, especially Zhao Yingjun, it was rare to see her so seriously and firmly rebut a viewpoint.
Maybe this was also an indication…
Every child ends up debating with their parents over marriage pressures.
Lin Xian just hoped that this mother-daughter duo’s battle would not extend to include him.
Don’t let it come to them turning their heads and asking him what he thinks, how he feels?
That would be embarrassing.
It’s hard for a judge to resolve family issues, let the Zhao family handle their own matters.
Lin Xian picked up his cup of water and began to drink tactically.
As per usual, drinking meant do not disturb, off-the-grid status.
But then.
He wasn’t prepared for another sharp observer!
Swoosh.
A delicate finger as thin as a scallion tip pointed directly at the back of his head.
Lin Xian turned to one side, lowering his head, just in time to meet Yan Qiaoqiao’s piercing gaze.
Her expression was stern, staring fixedly at the back of Lin Xian’s head:
“White hair.”
“What?”
Lin Xian, startled, tilt his head sideways instinctively:
“Do I have white hair?”
Seeing Lin Xian tilt his head, Yan Qiaoqiao also reacted reflexively.
Just like when her grandpa played games with her.
She stretched out her finger sharply and swiftly – with a lightning-fast move, she accurately grasped the white hair and plucked it!
“Ouch!”
Lin Xian felt a sharp pain on his scalp and gasped!
This commotion also interrupted Zhao Yingjun and Yan Mei’s battle; all three members of the Zhao family turned to look this way, immediately reproaching Yan Qiaoqiao:
“Qiaoqiao!
How can you be so unreasonable!”
“What are you doing!”
“Come back here!
Why are you pulling Lin Xian’s hair!”
Lin Xian rubbed his scalp, looking at Yan Qiaoqiao:
“Did you get it?”
Yan Qiaoqiao nodded seriously, raising her right hand.
Indeed…
Between her thumb and forefinger, she precisely pinched a few centimeters long white hair, with no collateral damage.
“It really is white.”
Lin Xian was somewhat surprised.
He was only in his twenties, and throughout his years of studying and working, he had never grown a single white hair.
It seems this period had really been too tiring, too exhausting, and too worrying.
Probably it was the excessive anxiety during his escape in Mi Country that had caused the white hair.
Regardless.
In front of the Zhao family, it wouldn’t be right to complain about Yan Qiaoqiao.
Moreover.
Yan Qiaoqiao’s intention was to help him remove the white hair, though her method was indeed a bit rough, there was no malice.
So, Lin Xian smiled and rubbed the top of Yan Qiaoqiao’s head:
“Well done, thank you.”
However.
It was this smile.
This close comparison of the two faces…
Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Zhao Yingjun all couldn’t help but widen their eyes!
Their gazes rapidly swept across the faces of Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao, comparing.
The two had been too far apart before to notice.
But now!
Nearly face to face!
Many previously unnoticed small details were all suddenly clear in the comparison!
Ears…
Forehead…
Chin…

Even Zhao Yingjun was shocked by this discovery!
Although they couldn’t be said to be exactly alike.
But at least.
The ears, foreheads, and chins of Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Xian were strikingly similar!
These details, slightly farther away, wouldn’t be noticeable.
Now this side-by-side, face-to-face scene was really rare, a truly discerning look!
“Uh…”
Zhao Ruihai didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He swallowed a few times.
Biting his tongue.
Eventually.
He swallowed the words he was about to say.
He took a step back, standing up from his seat:
“Well, I’m going to the restroom.”
Saying this, he looked toward his wife:
“Coming?”
After so many years of marriage, how could she not understand what this suggestion meant?
Yan Mei also swiftly got up, pulling a napkin to wipe her mouth:
“Let’s go, I was just saying I needed to go, I just didn’t know where the restroom was.”
