The mother cricket comforted her deeply distressed son while whispering crickets in his ear.
This little girl is amazing; she's nothing like the good-for-nothings we've encountered before.
Know when to back down and don't fight head-on!
Qiqi doesn't understand insect language, but she can guess what it's chirping about.
Qiqi circled the two Gu worms that were hugging each other and crying, took out a larger glass bottle, put them all inside, plugged it, and put it back in her bag.
"Little Master, is everything resolved?" Shen Xuan comforted Ji Beichen, who was still recovering from the pain, her eyes filled with heartache.
Two Gu worms were causing a ruckus in Qiqi's bag, but Qiqi patted them down forcefully and suppressed them.
Hearing Shen Xuan's question, he remembered that his older cousin's mouth had been cut open and he was still in pain.
He quickly pulled a pill out of his bag and handed it to him, saying, "Big cousin, put this in your mouth and don't swallow it, you'll feel better in a little while!"
Ji Beichen knew from his family that his little sister had exceptional medical skills.
Even Xiao Su's eyes, which had been sentenced to "death," were cured by her using acupuncture.
So without hesitation, I took the pill, put it in my mouth, and held it in my mouth as instructed.
A refreshing sensation exploded in my mouth, instantly relieving the excruciating pain.
Ji Beichen felt like he had finally come back to life.
The thought that such a huge worm had crawled out of his body made him feel nauseous!
But my throat was cut, and every time I gag, it brings a wave of pain.
Fortunately, the pill in his mouth dissolved into water and flowed down his throat, relieving the pain and making him feel much better.
Ten minutes later, Ji Beichen felt the pain in his mouth completely disappear.
He touched his cheek with his tongue in surprise, but felt nothing.
He stubbornly tried harder, but there was still no reaction.
That's incredible!
Seeing that his complexion had improved somewhat, Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't help but worry, "Mr. Ji, are you alright?"
"Mm." Freed from the control of the Gu worms, Ji Beichen looked at the girl in front of him, his heart softening, and his voice unconsciously softened, "Thank you for earlier."
The man's gaze was so intense that Shen Xuan felt very embarrassed.
She lowered her eyes shyly, then realized that her hand was still on the other person's arm, and immediately panicked and tried to pull away.
As soon as he moved, he was grabbed by a large hand.
"It's you, isn't it?" Ji Beichen looked into her eyes and suddenly asked.
The seemingly random sentence was instantly understood by Shen Xuan.
She paused for a moment, then an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up in her eyes.
But in just a moment, she suppressed it again.
She's not good enough for him in her current state.
"No, no, you've mistaken me for someone else!" Shen Xuan frantically tried to pull her hand back, turning her head away to hide her face covered in dark spots.
But the man grabbed her chin, not allowing her to escape.
"No, I know I haven't mistaken you for someone else, it's you!"
Ji Beichen looked deeply into her eyes, "Your eyes are exactly the same as when you were little. But your face, why..."
"Don't look!" Upon hearing him mention her face, Shen Xuan immediately lowered her head in self-consciousness.
Her long hair fell down, covering her face, which seemed to give her a sense of security.
"I don't care!" Ji Beichen forcefully cupped her face. "What I like has never been your face."
She paused, perhaps noticing that Shen Xuan cared a lot about her appearance, and added, "Besides, we have Qi Qi. Qi Qi's medical skills are amazing; she can definitely heal your face! Look, my serious injury from earlier is healed in no time!"
Ji Beichen opened his mouth to show his oral cavity.
The bloody wound had indeed disappeared, leaving only a smooth oral cavity wall.
Upon seeing this, a glimmer of hope rose in Shen Xuan's eyes.
She used the ointment Qiqi gave her once today.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it did seem to be working. When she looked in the mirror in the morning, she felt that the spots on her face seemed to have faded a little.
However, until her face recovered, she feared that it was all just her imagination.
But this was someone she had kept in her heart since she was young.
He stared intently at her, his eyes filled with love, which stirred an uncontrollable flutter in her heart.
I want to disregard everything and be completely honest with him about my feelings.
The two gazed at each other affectionately, completely forgetting that there was a young girl in the office who shouldn't be watching such a scene.
"Ahem~" Qiqi coughed awkwardly, "How about... I go out first?"
A soft, babyish voice suddenly rang out, and Shen Xuan finally realized what was happening. Her face turned bright red, and her neck also turned bright red.
She quickly withdrew her hand and stood up in a flustered manner. "Since President Ji's problem has been resolved, then Master and I will be leaving now."
She promised to bring the little master back safely.
Ji Beichen was reluctant to let her go so easily. The girl who used to be as radiant as a little sun had suddenly become like a timid rabbit after ten years.
The slightest breeze or rustling could scare her away.
He wished he could tie the person up and keep them right in front of him.
"But my assistant hasn't come back from buying snacks yet!" Ji Beichen was at his wits' end, so he came up with this excuse.
He was still afraid of not being able to keep her, so he kept giving Qiqi meaningful glances.
Qiqi understood immediately, secretly gave her older cousin an OK sign, and then raised her innocent and adorable face.
"Yes, Sister Chen, I want to eat a strawberry-flavored mini cake!"
Hearing the little master say that, Shen Xuan felt embarrassed to say that she had to leave.
Ji Beichen gave Qi Qi a grateful look, then asked Shen Xuan, "By the way, I received news this morning that Shen's Group suddenly changed the project contact person. Do you know what happened?"
Shen Xuan paused, then looked at Ji Beichen with a complicated expression.
His lips moved, and after a long pause, he uttered, "My sister... she suddenly died yesterday!"
After saying that, she lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look at Ji Beichen's expression.
He loved Shen Yan so much; he must have been devastated to learn of her death.
“No wonder, I was wondering why she suddenly changed her contact person.” Ji Beichen raised an eyebrow, a little surprised, but only surprised. “But, how could she suddenly die? Was it some kind of sudden illness?”
The man's indifferent attitude made Shen Xuan look up abruptly, staring at him in disbelief.
Didn't he really like Shen Yan? Why was his reaction so indifferent when he heard about her death?
"Aren't you... sad?" Shen Xuan asked in disbelief.
Ji Beichen was puzzled. "Why should I be sad?"
"Don't you...like her a lot?"
"Me?" Ji Beichen pointed at himself.
Shen Xuan nodded.
"You like Shen Yan?"
Shen Xuan nodded again.
Ji Beichen replied decisively, "How could that be!"
