Ji Jinyou led Qiqi toward Madam Ji, his eyes lowered as he gazed intently at the top of the little girl's head.
What did she mean by what she just said to Jian Yicheng?
There's something strange about it.
Could this little girl be a little charlatan?
That was really... so interesting!
Ji Jinyou gently probed in a low voice, "Qiqi, what did you mean by what you just said to your sister?"
Qiqi paused, looked up at Ji Jinyou with an innocent expression, and asked, "Fifth Brother, what are you saying? Qiqi just said a lot of things, which sentence are you referring to?"
Ji Jinyou's eyes flickered. Was the little girl pretending to be innocent?
So, does she really possess those mystical abilities?
But why hide it?
She was afraid that if they found out, they would look down on her and think she was a little liar.
It's possible, given that the country is now cracking down on feudal superstition.
Ji Jinyou's eyes shone brightly as he reached out and patted Qiqi's head: "It's nothing, the hair tie is quite pretty."
After saying that, he casually fiddled with his fingers a couple of times.
Qiqi grabbed his hand tightly, her face changing color: "Don't move, Fifth Brother."
Ji Jinyou's eyes darkened slightly, but his tone was so gentle it seemed to melt water: "Why can't you move?"
Qiqi blinked her big eyes, puffed out her cheeks, and said cutely, "If you mess it up, it won't look good."
is that so?
Ji Jinyou glanced at Qiqi and snatched the hair tie back from his hand like a precious treasure, then smoothed it out.
The gesture looked like it was trying to soothe something.
Could she be hiding something in that hair tie?!
Ji Jinyou's eyes lit up with excitement.
The female ghost hiding in the hair tie: How terrifying! How come she never noticed before? There's not a single normal person in the Ji family.
The two returned to Madam Ji's side. Ji Jinyou greeted Madam Ji first, "Mom." Then, looking at Ji Zeqian standing beside him with a frown and a cold face, he said, "Sixth Brother, I really didn't expect you to come and pick me up."
But Ji Zeqian ignored him, not even giving him a glance. Instead, he walked to Qiqi's side, took her small hand, and pulled her to his side in a domineering manner.
Ji Jinyou: Oh, is Xiao Liu starting to get possessive?
Ji Yunhan was two grades ahead of Ji Jinyou, so he came out a little later.
After waiting a few more minutes, the group saw a vibrant young man carrying a basketball, skipping and jumping out with a group of friends.
Ji Yunhan has practiced martial arts since childhood and apprenticed under an elder from an ancient martial arts family. He is very sturdy and has darker skin than his brothers, a healthy wheat color.
Upon seeing Madam Ji and the others, he excitedly waved to them.
After saying goodbye to his friends, he grabbed the basketball and ran towards them.
"Mom, Fifth Brother." After greeting Madam Ji and Ji Jinyou, Ji Yunhan's gaze swept across the room and he froze when he saw Ji Zeqian standing to the side, holding the little girl's hand. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Sixth Brother? You...you...how could you..."
Seeing his fourth brother's shocked expression, Ji Jinyou smiled slightly. His own performance just now was not as embarrassing as his fourth brother's.
"Why are you so surprised, Fourth Brother? Isn't it a good thing that Sixth Brother was able to come out?" Ji Jinyou said politely.
Ji Yunhan was still a little taken aback: "It's a good thing, but it's just..." It's a bit too terrifying!
You know, Lao Liu can't even stand the noise at his own home, so how could he possibly come to such a noisy place as the school?
And who is that little girl he's holding hands with?
She's so pretty, fair-skinned, soft, and chubby, just like a little glutinous rice ball.
When she grins at him, she looks like a little angel.
Seeing that his gaze was fixed on Qiqi, Madam Ji was about to introduce her to him, but Ji Jinyou beat her to it.
"Fourth Brother, this is the little sister that Mom and Dad adopted for us, her name is Qiqi. She's a very special little sister!"
For some reason, Qiqi felt that her fifth brother's words had a deeper meaning, as if she had discovered something.
She pretended not to understand, flashing her eight pearly white front teeth and giving Ji Yunhan a bright smile.
"Hello, Fourth Brother, my name is Qiqi." Qiqi stared at the arm that Ji Yunhan was holding the basketball with. "Fourth Brother's arm is injured. You shouldn't play basketball recently, otherwise the injury will get worse and it will be difficult for Fourth Brother to improve his martial arts."
Qiqi immediately noticed that Ji Yunhan had overexerted himself in practicing ancient martial arts recently, resulting in a minor arm injury. However, he didn't take it too seriously and only rested for a while before ignoring it.
Although the pain has subsided, the injury is not fully healed. If he engages in strenuous exercise again, it will worsen and could even damage his tendons and ligaments, making it impossible for him to practice martial arts in the future.
Ji Yunhan was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the basketball tightened subconsciously: "How did you know my arm was injured?"
"Qiqi noticed." Qiqi's fair face was serious. "Qiqi is very capable. I also saved Grandpa Dean."
The Ji family knew about Ji Yunhan's injury and kept an eye on him to make sure he recovered properly during that time.
Later, when they saw that he was no longer in pain, they all assumed that he was cured.
I never expected that Qiqi would bring it up now, and even say that his injuries would become more serious.
Madam Ji immediately became serious: "Qiqi, are you telling the truth?"
On the way back from picking up Qiqi, Qiqi mentioned that she had helped the orphanage director concoct medicines, but she thought she was just joking.
She hadn't told Qiqi about Yunhan's injury, but Qiqi noticed it at a glance, which showed that she really did have medical skills.
Qiqi nodded vigorously: "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to Mom."
As she spoke, she walked up to Ji Yunhan, stood on tiptoe, and reached out her small hand to press several acupoints on his arm.
"Ah..." Ji Yunhan immediately screamed, his arm drooping down, and the basketball he was holding fell to the ground with a thud, bouncing a few times.
Madam Ji and Ji Jinyou were both startled. Ji Jinyou quickly picked up Ji Yunhan's basketball, while Madam Ji, pale-faced, wanted to touch his arm but dared not.
Even Ji Zeqian, whose face was usually cold and indifferent, showed a hint of urgency.
Seeing that Madam Ji was so frightened that her face turned pale, Qiqi quickly pressed a few more acupoints on him.
Ji Yunhan was in excruciating pain and wished he could cut off his arm.
And just like that, the pain suddenly stopped after a few strokes.
He stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looked at Qiqi, then at Madam Ji, and then moved his arm: "Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Madam Ji breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Qiqi: "Qiqi, what's wrong with your fourth brother...?"
"Mom, don't worry, Fourth Brother's injury isn't serious." She had only shown the worst possible state of his arm to prove them wrong.
However, with her there, she wouldn't let her fourth brother's arm get any worse.
