On the way to the pharmacy, Ji Jingchi kept staring at the research report in his hand.

He took a pill that Qi Qi had given him from Ji Jinsu, had its ingredients analyzed, and then asked a professional professor of traditional Chinese medicine to help him check the drug's components and dosage.

This report is the conclusion drawn by the professor after reviewing and summarizing the information.

The pill that Qiqi gave me was a very bold use of medicine, but it did have a very immediate effect on treating the eyes.

However, the dosage was a bit too strong, so strong that... even the professor was terrified and called to remind him that this prescription should not be given to Ji Jinsu lightly, for fear that Ji Jinsu might not be able to withstand it.

However, the professor also said that if professional acupuncture is used in conjunction with the medication to help him absorb the medicine in the shortest possible time, the medicine will indeed be beneficial to the treatment of Ji Jinsu.

Ji Jingchi thought of Qi Qi's superb acupuncture skills and wisely decided not to tell the professor about it.

After all, his younger sister was only three and a half years old, yet she possessed such medical skills. He wasn't sure if outsiders would accept it as well as his family.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!

He wouldn't risk his little sister's life.

Thinking of his little sister, Ji Jingchi glanced sideways and noticed that Qiqi was secretly watching him.

Noticing that he was also looking at her, she immediately looked away.

A few minutes later, she peeked over again and, seeing that he wasn't looking at her anymore, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Noticing the little girl's change in mood, Ji Jingchi found it amusing.

Just when she was completely relaxed, I suddenly turned my head and looked over. Sure enough, the little girl immediately perked up her ears and widened her eyes like a startled rabbit.

Oh my god!

Ji Jingchi found it rather amusing, and his mischievous nature led him to move closer to Qi Qi.

Qiqi's eyes widened even more, looking like she was about to cry.

Qiqi quietly squeezed closer to the door, almost pressing herself against Huo Yusen.

Ji Jingchi's brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes behind his glasses appeared slightly gloomy.

Shouldn't we educate my sister about the proper way for men and women to not touch each other?

One hand reached out and shielded Qiqi's eyes, while the other hand wrapped around her waist, holding her in a protective embrace.

"Second Brother Ji, don't look at Qiqi like that, it will scare her."

Ji Jingchi: ...

Whether his sister is afraid or not is none of Huo Yusen's business, an outsider.

Does this kid not know the difference between the king and queen?

Ji Jingchi stretched out his arm and pulled the little girl out of Huo Yusen's arms, holding her in his own embrace.

Qiqi was so frightened that Erkang cried out, "Brother Xiao Jiu..."

Ji Jingchi ruthlessly suppressed her pleading hand and completely encircled the little girl in his arms.

He glared at Huo Yusen with a warning look, like a lion asserting its dominance, protecting its prey.

Huo Yusen frowned, his dark eyes growing increasingly cold and brooding.

The little boy exuded a powerful and cold aura, and his imposing presence was intimidating.

Ji Jingchi had long guessed that this little guy was no ordinary person, after all, he was accompanied by two super-skilled bodyguards who were protecting him 24 hours a day.

But he remained unfazed by the overwhelming pressure.

He looked down at the little girl in his arms. "What? In Qiqi's heart, I, her second brother, am not as important as you, her adopted ninth brother?"

Qiqi: ……

This is an absolutely deadly question!

"No, not at all." The little girl blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and vulnerable. "Is Second Brother just as important as Ninth Brother?"

"Is that so?" Ji Jingchi was not satisfied with this answer. He was the second brother, while Huo Yusen was just an outsider in the future, not on the same level as him. "Mom will be sad to hear this!"

Qiqi: ……

Although she looks like a three-year-old child, she is actually an ancient monster who has lived for thousands of years.

She immediately understood what her second brother was trying to say.

"Mom won't be sad, Brother Jiu is family too!"

When the little girl said this, she didn't dare to look at him, and she pressed her little head against him, trying hard to get out of his arms.

Just when they were about to successfully escape, the driver made a turn, and Qiqi, caught off guard, suddenly swayed and fell headfirst into Ji Jingchi's arms.

Qiqi's head slammed into Ji Jingchi's chest. The thirteen-year-old boy already had quite a bit of muscle in his chest, and the impact completely stunned her. When she looked up while clutching her head, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, a sight that made one's heart ache.

"What happened? Did you hurt yourself?" Ji Jingchi didn't expect that on their second time alone together, he would hurt the little girl again.

Faced with Qiqi's tears, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Qiqi looked up blankly and saw the tension in her second brother's eyes. Suddenly, she felt that her forehead didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you get hurt?" Ji Jingchi softened his voice again, afraid of scaring the little girl and making her tears fall.

He doesn't know how to explain it to his parents when he gets back.

Qiqi shook her head and sat up straight obediently. "Hmm, it hurts a little, but it's okay."

"Will your second brother rub it for you?" Ji Jingchi reached out, wanting to rub it for her.

But Qiqi turned her head away and then secretly glanced at Ji Jingchi with her big eyes. Seeing that he had just withdrawn his hand and was not angry, she suddenly felt that her scientist brother was not so bad after all.

That's right, it would be better if we didn't always try to treat her like a little girl.

Qiqi rubbed her head, shifted her little bottom to the side, and quietly distanced herself from her second brother.

She thought she was being very careful, but little did she know that Ji Jingchi was secretly glancing at her from the side.

Not long after, the car stopped at the largest traditional Chinese medicine shop in Jiangcheng.

Ji Jingchi pushed open the car door and got out, then turned around naturally, caught the little girl who wanted to jump down, and carried her in his arms before walking towards the Chinese medicine shop.

Behind him, Huo Fei got out of the passenger seat, took a wheelchair out of the trunk, carried Huo Yusen out and settled him in the wheelchair, then pushed him behind.

Upon entering the pharmacy, a rich aroma of herbs wafted through the air.

Further into the bustling hall, the Chinese medicine cabinets against the wall were almost as tall as the ceiling.

Each small cabinet had the name of a medicinal herb labeled on the outside. Qiqi tilted her little head up so high that it made one worry she might just climb out of Ji Jingchi's arms.

"Wow..." Qiqi exclaimed, just like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before, "This place is so big! It's much bigger than the place where Dad took me to buy medicine last time!"

Back when I was in my sect, we would go to the back mountain to gather any medicinal herbs we wanted.

Later, as the number of junior disciples increased, a large medicinal herb field was specially cultivated within the sect.

We'll grow whatever medicine we need.

But after arriving here, she discovered that medicinal herbs could actually be purchased directly.

Moreover, the larger the herbal medicine store, the more complete the variety of herbs, and the better their medicinal properties.

When someone came in, the clerk in charge of greeting them glanced up, then lowered her head and pretended not to see them, ignoring them.

The two children clearly weren't there to buy medicinal herbs; there was no need to bother with them.
