Qiqi slid off Madam Ji's lap and was then carried out of the car by the butler who came to open the door.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lin." After thanking him politely, Qiqi turned around and ran towards the villa with her short legs. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, little ninth brother, Qiqi is back!"
He shouted as he ran into the living room.
Just then, they saw Ji Jinnian coming out of the kitchen, carrying a plate in his hand.
Qiqi was too short, and her field of vision was obstructed, so she couldn't see what was on his plate, but a strong smell of blood wafted over.
Qiqi's pupils shrank: "Second...Second Brother, what...what are you holding in your hands?"
"Want to know?" Ji Jinnian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a smile playing on his thin lips. "Want me to show you?"
As he spoke, he bent down and handed the plate to Qiqi.
"Ah..." Qiqi only glanced at it before covering her eyes in fright, turning and running away, "Mommy, help!"
The little guy had his eyes covered, couldn't see the road, tripped on the door frame, and fell to the ground.
"Qi Bao!"
"Qi Bao!"
"younger sister!"
Snap!
Qiqi fell heavily to the ground and cried out in pain.
Ji Chengfeng and his wife rushed over in a flurry, quickly picking Qiqi up from the ground and checking if she had fallen.
Qiqi's knees and palms had varying degrees of abrasions, and a bright red patch on her fair skin was very conspicuous and glaring.
Mrs. Ji was heartbroken and turned to the housekeeper, shouting, "Uncle Lin, quickly call Dr. Jin and ask him to come over."
"Yes, Madam." The butler turned to make a phone call.
Ji Jinnian put down the plate and rushed over: "Little sister, are you alright?"
As soon as he got close, Qiqi was so frightened that she burrowed into Madam Ji's arms, looking very afraid of him.
"Look what you've done! You've scared your sister so much and hurt her like this!" Ji Chengfeng slapped him hard on the back. Getting closer, he smelled a faint scent of blood and frowned, asking, "What kind of research are you doing now?"
The second son was obsessed with all sorts of strange research, and sometimes he would make the lab mice used for research covered in blood.
Although the mice will be carefully stitched up and healed in the end, the process... is a bit bloody.
Judging from the smell on him, he was probably slicing up mice again tonight.
Ji Chengfeng guessed correctly; Ji Jinnian was indeed slicing up mice tonight.
After he returned home, he heard about his sister giving acupuncture to the fourth brother and the little boy who came to visit. He also became interested in acupoints and meridians, so he found a white mouse to study them.
He hadn't studied this area before, and made a mistake; the mice couldn't be saved.
He was originally going to take it to the kitchen to throw it away, but unexpectedly, Qiqi came back and showed great interest. He also wanted to ask her about meridians and acupoints, so he showed the white mouse to his sister.
I never expected my sister to be so scared.
And as a result, he fell and got injured.
Ji Jinnian pursed his lips and remained silent, a hint of guilt appearing on his cold face.
Mrs. Ji carefully carried Qiqi to the sofa, sat her on her lap, and waited for the doctor to come and treat her wounds.
Ji Jinnian followed, but kept a few steps away, not getting close, and occasionally glancing at her.
Then he noticed that the little girl was also peeking at him from time to time while in Madam Ji's arms. When their eyes met, she would be so startled that she would quickly look away.
Noticing the little girl's reaction, Madam Ji felt both sorry for her and amused. She glanced at the things Ji Jinnian had placed on the plate in the entryway cabinet and asked, "Xiaonian, what are you doing with the white mouse?"
"I heard from Xiao Si that my sister knows acupuncture, so I wanted to study meridians and acupoints," Ji Jinnian said truthfully.
My second son does indeed have the personality to be interested in all sorts of unknown areas and immediately get into research.
I just didn't expect things to turn out this way.
He had just finished talking nonsense with Qi Bao about the little girl when Qi Qi happened to see him carrying a sliced white mouse, which is why she was so frightened that she tripped and fell, getting injured.
Even though it was all just an unintentional mistake by her second son, Madam Ji still glared at him. If he hadn't made that reckless joke, Qi Bao wouldn't have been so frightened by a sliced white mouse.
After all, my precious daughter is incredibly brave! She's not even afraid of vengeful ghosts!
Following Madam Ji's gaze, Qiqi glanced at the little white mouse again. Her little body trembled involuntarily, and her pitiful little face broke Madam Ji's heart.
"Alright, Qi Bao, don't be afraid." Madam Ji gently patted her head. "That's a white mouse, the kind Second Brother uses for his experiments. And usually, Second Brother is very careful, and he always saves the white mouse after using it. This time, it's probably because he touched an unfamiliar area, which is why it turned out like this."
Upon hearing this, Qiqi peeked out from Madam Ji's arms, glanced cautiously at Ji Jinnian, and whispered, "Is it really a guinea pig, or a little girl? Second brother."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow.
He considered himself to be fairly good-looking and not at all bloody or ferocious, so why would a joke scare the little girl like that?
Moreover, he's only a thirteen-year-old boy!
It's not like I'm a pervert.
If they really sliced people up, that would be terrible!
"Of course not." Ji Jinnian walked over, picked up the plate, and lifted the white mouse by the head. "See, you can recognize a mouse, right?"
"Ah..." Qiqi screamed again in fright and hid in Madam Ji's arms. "Mommy, I'm scared."
Madam Ji: ...
The second son has an exceptionally high IQ, so how come his EQ is so low?
They were actually showing a little girl the head of a white mouse!
"You, get out of here!" Madam Ji was furious, her chest heaving violently as she pointed at Ji Jinnian and told him to disappear immediately.
If he stays any longer, his little girl will probably be scared to death.
Ji Jinnian's lips moved slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction showing on his usually cold face.
It was just a lab rat; I don't understand why the little girl was so frightened.
"If I told you to get out, then get out now. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ji Chengfeng slapped his second son on the head again.
Ji Jinnian was hit so hard that he lowered his head, clutching the back of his head with his brows furrowed tightly, frozen in place and refusing to move.
Ji Chengfeng frowned and glared at him, ready to make another move.
Just then, Dr. Jiang, the family doctor of the Ji family, rushed over with his medicine kit. Ji Chengfeng didn't even have time to scold his second son and hurriedly asked Dr. Jiang to examine Qiqi.
After examining the wound, Dr. Jiang confirmed that it was just a scratch and that no bone was damaged.
After cleaning Qiqi's wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it simply, the doctor left with the instruction, "Don't get the wound wet," and then departed.
Ji Chengfeng pointed at his second son, who still had a stern face, and said irritably, "Luckily your sister is alright, otherwise I would have skinned you alive!"
