"Young lady, I don't think I've offended you." The doctor's face darkened. He was, after all, a top student from medical school who had studied medicine for seven or eight years. He considered himself to have treated his patients with utmost care and attention. To be slandered like this was unbearable for anyone. "The way you're saying that is incredibly ill-mannered."
That's a bit harsh on a three-year-old.
But the doctor didn't see anything wrong with it, and even looked at Qiqi with a sharp gaze.
That delicate, adorable little face no longer appealed to him.
Qiqi blinked her big, dark eyes, neither intimidated by his gaze nor angry at his questioning. Instead, she looked at him earnestly and said, "It seems you're quite unconvinced, Uncle! Why don't you get an electrocardiogram now, check your heart, and then come back and argue with me!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" The doctor was taken aback.
Ji Zhixu gave him a cold look and said sarcastically, "What I mean is, you have a heart problem. If you don't get treatment, you might die."
"Doctor, Young Master Ji, this is going too far! You..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden pang of heart palpitation, accompanied by a sharp pain, made his face turn pale and cold sweat bead on his forehead.
Qiqi looked at him and said, "Uncle, you should have felt it, right? Your heart... are you sure you don't want to get it checked?"
The doctor tried to remain defiant, but the discomfort in his heart, coupled with Ji Zhixu's words, made his heart pound and he felt extremely uneasy.
"Hmph, go ahead then, watch me expose your lies!"
The doctor stormed off and immediately went to the cardiology department to find a doctor he knew and asked her to arrange some heart-related tests for him.
When his friend heard that he was going to have his heart checked, he joked that he was as strong as an ox and could stay up for three consecutive nights without showing any signs of fatigue, so how could he possibly have a heart problem?
These words instantly put the doctor's anxious heart at ease.
Exactly, he's the department's undisputed king of test-taking. He'd never complain even if he had to work three long night shifts. He's an incredibly dedicated and unflappable robot, isn't he?
I was probably startled by what that little girl said. After all, her eyes were so dark, and looking into them always gave me the feeling that she could see right through me.
"It's alright, just give me one, so I can convince that girl who talks nonsense and her overreacting family!"
His doctor friend thought he was going to teach some intern who had offended him a lesson, and although he complained, he still ordered the tests for him.
The doctor took the test results and went to get them done. While waiting, he received a call from the emergency room. A critically ill patient needed a consultation, so he rushed over there.
When I got busy, I completely forgot about the inspection.
By the time he finished dealing with the patients and returned to the ward, Qiqi had already been discharged.
Looking at the empty ward, the doctor curled his lip.
It seems the little girl knew she had no chance of winning, so she ran away.
Oh well, she's just a young girl, he can't really hold it against her.
The doctor, with a magnanimous heart, turned around and prepared to return to his office.
Then he saw his friend rushing over to him, calling out from afar, "Dr. Jiang, I just showed your electrocardiogram report to our director, and your electrocardiogram does indeed show abnormal fluctuations. We suspect you have occasional acute heart failure. You need to come back to the cardiology department with me right away for a comprehensive and detailed examination!"
Dr. Jiang stood there stunned, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
That little girl was right!

Qiqi didn't care how devastated Dr. Jiang was; she had already returned to the Ji family home with Madam Ji and the others.
Since it was the last acupuncture session, Ji Jinsu's parents came and were sitting in the living room, eagerly waiting for their return.
Upon seeing Qiqi, Ji Chengnan and Madam Ji immediately stood up from the sofa and walked over quickly.
"Qiqi, you're finally back. How are you feeling? Are you alright? Can you still get acupuncture?"
Madam Ji couldn't help but ask.
She always remembered that Qiqi had said more than once that acupuncture must not be stopped, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted and Xiaosu's eyes would never be cured.
So when she heard the news that Qiqi was hospitalized, she was very worried, fearing that Qiqi would be too weak to perform acupuncture on Ji Jinsu, and that her son would be blind for life.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine."
To show that she was really okay, Qiqi even raised her little arm and puffed out her non-existent biceps.
Madam Ji was amused by her adorable appearance, but then felt that she was being too selfish by only thinking about her own child at a time like this and not considering Qiqi's health at all. So she looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Qiqi, your third aunt didn't mean to force you. It's just that you know about your brother Jinsu's eyes, I really..."
Madam Ji stopped talking at this point.
Qiqi quickly and sweetly comforted her, "I know, Auntie. Don't worry, I will cure Brother Jinsu's eyes. After the last acupuncture treatment, Brother Jinsu will be able to see! But remember, at the beginning, you still need to take good care of them and not overuse their eyes."
Hearing that their son would be fully recovered tonight, Ji Chengnan and his wife were very excited.
Madam Ji grabbed Qiqi's wrist, momentarily losing control of her strength, and asked, "Really?"
Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable being held so tightly and tried to pull away.
"Yes, really." The little girl's fair and delicate wrists were clenched until they turned red.
Seeing the large red marks, Madam Ji realized her lapse in composure and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Qiqi, I didn't mean to."
"It's alright, Auntie. It's getting late, let's begin."
The group arrived at Ji Jinsu's room. Before they returned, Madam Ji and the others had already applied eye compresses to Ji Jinfu's eyes, following the usual procedure that Qiqi used to apply before treating Ji Jinfu's eyes.
At this point, Qiqi only needs to receive acupuncture.
Without saying a word, Qiqi had Ji Jinsu lie down on the bed, then took out her acupuncture kit and began to perform acupuncture on him.
The last acupuncture session was more strenuous than any of the previous ones.
Qiqi was extremely careful with every needle she inserted.
After only a few injections, the little girl's cheeks turned rosy, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
It felt like I had run ten kilometers and done two hours of aerobic exercise; even my breathing became heavier.
Everyone noticed her unusual behavior, and Huo Yusen, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the little girl's hands were trembling as she performed the acupuncture. He couldn't help but reach out and grab the little girl's wrist.
"Qiqi, are you alright?"
Qiqi's vision was blurry; she was indeed not in good condition.
But there were still three needles left, and she was determined to finish them no matter what.
Her fingertips brushed against the needle tip, and the sting brought her back to her senses.
Qiqi obediently shook her head, "Brother Xiao Jiu, don't worry, I'm fine!"
