Hearing her say that, Ji Jinnian truly believed her now.
He shoved the medicine in his hand into his senior's hand, and while taking off his lab coat, he walked out. "Senior, there's only one last step in the experiment. Could you please record the data and reaction process for me?"
"Eh..."
Before her senior could refuse, Ji Jinnian had already left the lab and disappeared without a trace.
As Ji Jinnian walked out of the building, he immediately saw Qiqi hiding behind Madam Ji. He raised an eyebrow in surprise; it really was his younger sister.
Something's not right!
Why would his sister come looking for him on her own initiative?
He'd felt something was off ever since his sister started staring at him at the restaurant yesterday.
Later, when my younger sister came back from her trip, that feeling became even more pronounced.
Now, his younger sister actually came to him on her own initiative, even to the lab, a place she's clearly terrified of.
Ji Jinnian subtly sized up Qiqi, then calmly composed himself and walked towards Madam Ji. "Mom, why did you bring my sister here?"
"Your sister suddenly said she wanted to come visit you, but I have some other things to do today and it's inconvenient for me to bring her. Only Xiao Jiu and Xiao Su are at home, and they can't take care of Qi Bao, so I had to bring her to visit you."
As Mrs. Ji spoke, she craned her neck to glance at the laboratory building behind him, "Have you finished your experiments? Would it be inconvenient to bring Qi Bao along?"
“My little sister is very well-behaved,” Ji Jinnian glanced at Qiqi behind her, “It shouldn’t be a big problem to just look after her.”
So that means you're willing.
Madam Ji smiled with satisfaction. She had been worried that her second son, with his aloof nature, might not be willing to accept the offer.
"Then I'll leave Qibao in your care. Qibao gets hungry easily, so I've prepared some snacks and desserts for her. Remember to give her some water and remind her to drink. Also, you always work so hard on your experiments that you forget to eat and sleep, but Qibao was quite exhausted at the police station yesterday, and the doctor said she needs to eat more nutritious food to replenish her energy. Please remember to take Qibao out for lunch so she doesn't go hungry."
"Don't worry, Mom, I've got it."
Madam Ji gave a few more instructions and then left.
Just before getting into the car, Madam Ji waved to Qiqi, who ran over and jumped into Madam Ji's arms.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Madam Ji reached out and tapped her nose. "You little rascal, you suddenly came to see your second brother. There must be something on your mind. Although I don't know the specifics, I trust you."
Qiqi blinked, surprised that her mother had seen through her. She smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak.
"However, no matter what the reason is, you must remember one thing: your mother only wants you and your second brother to be safe and sound." Madam Ji gently hugged her. "Remember, be careful in everything you do."
“Mom, you…” She thought that since her mother had seen through it, she would stop or interfere.
To my surprise, my mother agreed so easily.
In fact, Madam Ji also wanted to intervene.
However, she also knew that interfering too much in certain matters would only cause trouble for Qiqi.
It's better to firmly believe in your little girl and trust that she can handle things well.
The car drove away, and Ji Jinnian calmly withdrew her gaze from behind, pretending not to understand the interaction between her mother and sister, while looking into his eyes with concern.
Ji Jinnian gently rubbed his fingertips together, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
It seems that something really did happen to me.
As the car drove away, Qiqi turned around and saw her second brother staring intently at her.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an awkward smile, her two chubby little hands twisting together.
"Let's go." Ji Jinnian reached out his hand to her.
Qiqi grinned and ran over. Although she was still a little scared, she obediently offered her hand and let her second brother hold her hand.
Ji Jinnian led her into the laboratory. Qiqi looked up at the sky above the laboratory, her eyes sparkling as she watched the bright white light shining from the mountain.
"Wow……"
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then took a deep sniff. What a rich, scholarly scent! It was both fragrant and refreshing, and even a single breath cleared her foggy mind.
If she stays in a place like this for a while longer, she'll definitely become as smart as her older brothers.
Ji Jinnian didn't understand what she was sniffing, but seeing her happy expression, he couldn't help but smile. "What's wrong? Is being able to get in here making you so happy?"
"Mmm, it smells so good here!" Qiqi said honestly.
"Smell? Smells good?" Ji Jinnian didn't understand. The place was filled with the smell of various experimental reagents. Ordinary people would only find it smelly, so how could this little girl find it fragrant?
Qiqi nodded frantically, "Mmm, smells so good, smells amazing!"
Those who can enter here are all top talents, and their IQs are naturally quite high.
So much literary talent gathered and piled up, forming a rich literary atmosphere.
Seeing that she wouldn't say more, Ji Jinnian didn't ask any more questions and led her into the laboratory building.
He knew that his sister must have had another purpose in coming to see him, but since she wouldn't say, he pretended not to know and made his way to his laboratory.
This laboratory was specially given to him by Elder Sheng, and only he has the authority to enter and exit it.
Even if Elder Sheng wanted to come and go, he needed Ji Jinnian's special permission.
Ji Jinnian led her inside and settled her on a chair near the lab entrance. "Little sister, sit here for a while. I'll go finish the experiments I haven't completed yet, and then I'll come back to find you."
As he spoke, he placed the snacks his mother had brought for her next to her, telling her to eat them herself when she got hungry.
Actually, even if Qiqi isn't hungry, she can still eat when she sees delicious food.
"Okay, second brother, you don't need to worry about me. I'll stay here obediently and won't go anywhere." Qiqi unwrapped a small cake, held it in both hands, and took small bites.
The little creature's short legs dangled happily in the air because of the delicious cake, its eyes blinking rapidly. It was so cute and adorable that Ji Jinnian couldn't bear to leave.
Ji Jinnian smiled and reached out to pat her head. "I'll be back soon."
With that, he went into the laboratory.
The senior student who had come to inform him earlier was recording data on the computer. During the time he was away, she had added the last reagent, but the data she obtained was a bit strange.
Seeing Ji Jinnian enter, her senior sister turned around and said, "Jinnian, come and take a look here. Isn't there something wrong with this set of data?"
Ji Jinnian walked over, bent down to look at the experimental data on the computer screen, and his brows slowly furrowed.
“Hmm, that’s not quite right.” Ji Jinnian found the potion corresponding to the data and prepared to redo it. “Senior sister, thank you, you can go now.”
Senior Sister: ...
He was so angry at Ji Jinnian's ruthlessness that he laughed.
"Xiao Nian, you really are... using people when you need them and discarding them when you don't!"
