Judging from the girl's expression, Huo Yusen simply didn't believe her.
Even the Demon Chief said that divine punishment is not something that just anyone can withstand.
Qiqi was struck by eighty-one blows in a row. If it weren't for the demonic energy of the chief demon, she wouldn't have been able to wake up in time.
Now she's expending energy giving Ji Jinsu acupuncture, and even giving herself acupuncture; how can her small body withstand that?
Huo Yusen was heartbroken.
But seeing Qiqi's stubborn and determined look, I knew I couldn't stop her.
He could only let go and say, "Don't force it, okay?"
The little girl smiled brightly, showing no sign of weakness or fatigue, and nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao Jiu, I know."
They know it, but they just don't do it.
Huo Yusen had nothing to say about this.
After all, Ji Jinsu's eyes tugged at the hearts of all members of the Ji family.
Qiqi, who values the Ji family so much, would never stand idly by.
Qiqi continued to insert the needles.
The last three stitches were more difficult than all the previous ones combined.
With each injection, Qiqi would take several deep breaths, and her hands would tremble more and more violently.
In the end, he could barely hold the needle.
Her face was frighteningly pale, and even Madam Ji almost relented and told her to stop.
But when she thought that if she didn't insist now, Ji Jinsu would never have any hope of regaining his sight, Madam Ji bit her lip and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Madam Ji had wanted to say it earlier, but considering her youngest daughter's temperament, and also because she really felt sorry for Ji Jinsu, she didn't want to give up easily before Qiqi said she was giving up, so she held back.
With each breath Qiqi took, she could almost smell the metallic stench of rust.
She forced down the metallic taste that rose in her throat and closed her eyes, pretending nothing was wrong.
He opened his eyes again, and with a determined expression, quickly inserted the needle.
As the last silver needle fell, Ji Jinsu suddenly felt as if the black mist that had been obscuring his eyes had been parted by an invisible force, and light unexpectedly flooded into his eyes.
He was stung by the sudden light and instinctively closed his eyes.
"Xiao Su, how are you feeling?" Madam Ji noticed his unusual behavior and quickly asked.
Ji Jinsu was so excited that he burst into tears. He grabbed Madam Ji's hand, his voice trembling, "Mom, light, I can see light. It hurts so much, my eyes hurt so much."
Upon hearing that he had seen the light, Madam Ji was first taken aback, and then overjoyed.
"Really? Did you really see the light?" She couldn't wait to find out.
Ji Jinsu nodded vigorously, ignoring the burning pain in his eyes caused by his long-term blindness and the return of light, and forced his eyes open.
Looking at her mother with tears in her eyes, her father with red eyes who was clearly excited but was forcibly suppressing his emotions because of his personality, and her fifth uncle and fifth aunt looking at her with concern.
Ji Jinsu's gaze swept over them one by one, his usually unfocused eyes now sparkling with a bright light.
Finally, the light fell on Qiqi.
She has a round, apple-shaped face, big, dark, grape-like eyes, a pert little nose, and a mouth as pretty as flower petals.
Ji Jinsu's eyes brightened a little more.
This must be the little sister.
She was just as cute as he had imagined.
“Little sister,” Ji Jinsu looked at Qiqi intently, his gratitude heartfelt, “thank you!”
Qiqi met his gaze and felt happy for him.
"You're welcome, Brother Jinsu, we're family!"
After Qiqi finished speaking, she lowered her eyelashes wearily, and her body swayed uncontrollably.
Huo Yusen, who had been worried about her condition, immediately reached out and caught the little girl as she fell.
The expected pain didn't come; instead, she was caught in a steady, warm, and reassuring embrace, and a smile appeared on Qiqi's lips.
Even without opening her eyes, she knew that the person who caught her was Huo Yusen.
"Brother Jiu, Qiqi is a little tired and wants to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up in an hour, I still need to give you acupuncture. Please remember, don't forget!"
Even though the little girl was so weak that she was about to faint, she still remembered to give him acupuncture.
Huo Yusen's heart felt as if it were soaking in warm water, warm and cozy, yet with an indescribable bittersweet feeling.
"Okay, I understand. Sleep peacefully, I'll be right here beside you, watching over you."
The little boy's voice was clear and gentle, yet carried a reassuring steadiness.
Qiqi closed her eyes peacefully in his arms.
Ji Chengfeng, standing to the side, was grinding his back teeth to powder.
You brat, you're showing off, aren't you!
So young, yet so cunning. He actually ran to Qiqi's side early to catch her the moment she arrived.
They think no one from the Ji family is home!
He needs to come and show off his treasure.
But seeing his little girl asleep, still unconsciously clutching his clothes, it was clear how dependent she was on Huo Yusen. Ji Chengfeng felt embarrassed to forcibly separate them, and could only watch helplessly as Huo Yusen took his little girl away right in front of him.
For a moment, Ji Chengfeng felt a pang of heartache, as if his daughter had been taken away!
Sooner or later, I'll stomp on that brat's paws.
Huo Yusen carried Qiqi to rest.
Ji Chengnan and Madam Ji, along with the recovered Ji Jinsu, expressed their deepest gratitude to Ji Chengfeng and Madam Ji.
In fact, they all knew that the person they should thank the most was Qiqi.
But Qiqi is not in a good state right now, so they can't be so tactless as to disturb her.
I have so much to say, but I will have the opportunity to express my gratitude in the future.
After expressing their gratitude repeatedly, Ji Chengnan and Madam Ji left with Ji Jinsu.
The Ji family villa quieted down, and Ji Chengfeng turned around to go to Huo Yusen's room.
Although he couldn't separate them, he always felt more at ease keeping an eye on them.
If that brat dares to do anything to the little girl, he will break his hand immediately.
He had barely taken a step when Madam Ji pulled him back.
Where are you going?
"I'm worried, I'll go check it out." Ji Chengfeng made no attempt to hide his feelings.
Mrs. Ji was speechless and pulled him towards the bedroom. "Alright, isn't it enough trouble in the middle of the night? Xiao Jiu isn't a child without sense of propriety, and besides, Qi Qi knows what she's doing."
My little girl is different from other children.
Other three-year-olds are still throwing tantrums and rolling around with their parents, their minds blank.
But my little girl already has her own mature and independent way of thinking and behaving.
She respects her daughter's nature and doesn't want to interfere too much.
As long as her daughter is healthy and safe, she doesn't want to get involved in anything else.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Even if Qi Bao is very discerning, she can't stop others from having bad intentions!" Ji Chengfeng retorted.
He now treats the Huo family like thieves.
They were afraid that if they weren't careful, the cabbage they had been carefully tending would be stolen.
