Huo Yusen sincerely hoped that Qiqi could delay things and give him a few days alone.

Because he has some things that need to be dealt with privately.

Unfortunately, the little girl's adorable big, blinking eyes, like stars, looked into his eyes, giving him the feeling that all his little thoughts had been seen through.

He lowered his eyes, somewhat embarrassed.

He really hoped that he could finish dealing with all those dirty and disgusting things as soon as possible, and then stand clean and tidy in front of the girl and spend time with her.

He didn't want his little girl to get involved in anything bad.

"Don't worry, Brother Jiu, I can totally accommodate your schedule!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she added very considerately, "But if Brother Jiu has other things to do, I can delay for two more days. After all, if it takes three days, Brother Liu might not be able to wake up."

In fact, Qiqi can wake Ji Zeqian up at any time if she wants to.

However, such forced awakening is detrimental to the fusion of souls.

Although she could try to make amends afterward, it was ultimately not as fitting as Ji Zeqian's own integration.

Therefore, Qiqi really didn't want to forcibly wake Ji Zeqian unless absolutely necessary.

The little girl really saw right through him!

This left Huo Yusen momentarily embarrassed.

He turned his eyes away, not daring to meet the girl's gaze.

"It's just some household chores, nothing serious. I can wait for Qiqi to come along."

Qiqi finished tidying up the silver needles, and upon hearing this, she looked up at Huo Yusen, sighed like a little adult, knelt on the bed, and patted Huo Yusen's head.

"Brother Xiao Jiu, you should know that I can tell you're lying to me."

Huo Yusen: ...

He knew.

It was precisely because he knew the truth, yet still had to lie, that he felt even more distressed.

"Feel sorry……"

Aside from those two words, he seemed unsure of what else to say.

Qiqi sighed again, feeling very sorry for Xiao Jiu's mature-beyond-his-years personality.

But she also knew that it was because he had experienced too many life-and-death situations at such a young age, coupled with the constant turmoil within his family and all sorts of unexpected events waiting for him, that he had become like this, and it was not something that could be cured overnight.

Don't rush it!

While tidying up the needles, Qiqi pinched her fingers, her little brows furrowing unconsciously.

Why hasn't Brother Huo returned yet? He should have arrived by now, according to the calculations.

Qiqi wanted to calculate again, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes instantly turned fierce.

What does this mean? Heaven is actually stopping us!

What exactly is the eldest brother of the Huo family doing that Heaven doesn't allow her to calculate?

Qiqi puffed out her cheeks unhappily.

When that old geezer comes down to negotiate with her, she'll pluck all his beard off!

"Alright, Little Nine Brother, you should get some rest. I'm going back to sleep too." Qiqi, clutching her acupuncture kit, jumped off Huo Yusen's bed and ran to the door. Then, suddenly remembering something, she turned back and asked, "By the way, Little Nine Brother, tomorrow I'm going with Sister Shen to help my eldest cousin cure his poison. Do you want to come with me?"

Huo Yusen's eyes flickered, and he chuckled and shook his head, "I won't go, I have some things to do tomorrow."

"Alright then, goodnight, Brother Xiao Jiu."

Qiqi didn't ask any further questions, waved to Huo Yusen, opened the door, and left.

As soon as she went outside, she saw Ji Chengfeng standing in the corridor with his back to her, making a phone call.

Qiqi frowned in confusion, stepped forward and tugged at his trouser leg, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

When Dad makes a phone call, isn't it usually in the study or his own bedroom?

"Is Qi Bao done?" Ji Chengfeng put down his phone, turned around, reached out and pinched the little girl's arm, lifting her up and weighing her in his hands.

My little girl seems to have gained a little weight; her face is rounder now.

This little thing, it seems like it hasn't grown at all, it's still the same as when we first met, it hasn't moved at the thigh level.

"Okay, it's all done!" Qiqi held the box in one hand and wrapped the other around her father's neck. "Did Daddy wait for me on purpose? Is there something you want to ask me?"

"I didn't mean to..." Ji Chengfeng mumbled, then nodded, "There is something about your eldest cousin that I wanted to ask you."

"Daddy, ask!" Qiqi yawned, her eyelids drooping slightly with sleepiness.

Seeing that Qiqi was sleepy, Ji Chengfeng carried her towards the bedroom.

As they walked, he asked, "What exactly is wrong with your eldest cousin? I remember giving him a heads-up at the old house last time, didn't I?"

"Yes, I did warn him. But my eldest cousin was destined to face this calamity, so I couldn't offer too much advice at the time." Qiqi nestled on Ji Chengfeng's shoulder, her little head resting on his shoulder, and sighed comfortably. "Fortunately, my future sister-in-law stayed by my eldest cousin's side and gave him a chance to change his fate."

Otherwise, even if she wanted to save him, there would be no way.

Although she originally left a message for her eldest cousin's wife in the hope that she could become her eldest cousin's last chance for survival.

But people's hearts are fickle, and no one can say for sure how things will turn out before they are finished.

"Will your older cousin be in danger?" After all, he was his nephew, and Ji Chengfeng couldn't help but worry.

"The dangerous part has been dealt with, only a little bit remains..."

Qiqi's sweet, childlike voice gradually faded away.

Ji Chengfeng turned his head and realized that the little girl had already fallen asleep.

Looking at his little girl's fair and tired face, he felt a pang of heartache.

The little girl is only three years old, which is the age when she should be snuggling in her parents' arms, seeking attention and love.

But his little daughter has to work tirelessly every day to save other people's lives; the little girl is almost busier and more worried than him.

Ji Chengfeng carried Qiqi back to the bedroom, carefully placed his little girl on the bed, and pulled the blanket over her carefully.

He then bent down and kissed his little girl on the forehead before turning off the light and leaving, satisfied.

The bedroom door was gently closed, and the next second, Qiqi, who was sleeping, turned over while hugging the blanket, a sweet smile on her lips.

A glimmer of starlight flashed briefly outside the window, then vanished, like a shooting star suddenly falling.

It transformed into a streak of light and landed outside Qiqi's window.

The quiet night was not disturbed by this unusual occurrence.

Qiqi woke up after a good, restful sleep. After finishing her morning class, she went downstairs and found that Chen Xuan had already arrived.

He was invited into the living room by the servants and saw Mrs. Ji setting the table. He felt a little awkward.

"Excuse me, madam, am I too early?"

"Not too early, just in time!" Madam Ji greeted warmly, her gentle and warm smile making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come and have some with us."

Shen Xuan felt a little embarrassed because she hadn't slept well all night because she was worried about Ji Beichen's condition.

I came here as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, and I haven't had breakfast yet.

"Sorry to bother you then!"
