The little bit her third brother ate wasn't even enough to fill a gap between her teeth.
No wonder my third brother is so thin. He only eats so little, how could he possibly gain weight?
Seeing her worried expression, Madam Ji gently patted her head: "Qibao, Third Brother has been in poor health since he was little. Eating too much will make him feel uncomfortable, so don't worry."
"Oh, okay." Qiqi nodded her little head, thought for a moment, took a glass bottle out of her bag and handed it to Ji Jingchi, "Third brother, here, have this. It will make you feel better!"
Inside the transparent glass bottle were colorful, round, candy-like objects. Ji Jingchi raised an eyebrow, finding it amusing.
The little girl probably heard someone telling her that eating candy would make her feel better if she wasn't feeling well.
However, Ji Jingchi was still a little touched that the little girl was willing to give him the Tang fruit she liked.
He reached out and took it, said "thank you," and was about to casually put it in his pocket when he saw the little girl's big, dark eyes staring at him expectantly, as if urging him to eat one quickly.
The funniest thing was that his other brothers looked at him with a mixture of envy and jealousy, while his parents urged him on with their eyes.
Ji Jingchi: ...
No, everyone's just going along with this nonsense. Is it really okay to spoil the little sister like this?
Ji Jingchi opened the bottle, took out a candy, and popped it into his mouth.
Okay, there's nothing wrong with it.
My sister is just someone I spoil.
The red candies are sweet, and seem to be strawberry flavored.
Ji Jingchi crushed it with his teeth and actually tasted a medicinal fragrance, faint and refreshing.
Ji Jingchi was somewhat surprised. These candies really contained medicine. He just didn't know if taking these medicines would be bad for his health.
But since we've already eaten it, there's no point in dwelling on it now.
He'll choose one later and take it to the hospital for a checkup.
After finishing the candy, Ji Jingchi put the bottle in his pocket and turned to leave.
As soon as I turned around, my stomach suddenly growled.
He had just eaten, but now he actually felt a little hungry again.
Looking back at the remaining food on my plate, I felt like I could finish it all.
The Ji family watched as Ji Jingchi, who was about to leave, suddenly sat back down at the table, picked up his knife and fork, and continued eating his breakfast.
A glint flashed in Ji Jinnian's eyes as he stared with interest at the pocket where he had just put the bottle. He rubbed his fingertips together, feeling a slight itch in his hands.
Madam Ji and Ji Chengfeng exchanged a glance, surprised that the medicine Qiqi gave Ji Jingchi was so effective.
Ji Jingchi not only finished the remaining food on his plate, but also drank all the milk and even ate an extra small steamed bun.
He was stunned when he put down his chopsticks.
Normally, if he ate this much, his stomach would have already started to protest, but today, after eating so much, his body didn't react at all; instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of fullness.
How strange!
Ji Jingchi was a little puzzled. Was it because his little sister was so well-behaved that he was in a better mood?
Ji Jingchi had no idea that it was related to the "candy" he had just eaten.
Madam Ji and the others were well aware of the situation, after all, Qiqi's medical skills were superb, and curing the third son was not a difficult task.
After Ji Jingchi finished eating, most of the Ji family members put down their chopsticks.
Aside from the old four seasons, Yunhan and Qiqi, Ji Yunhan also put down his chopsticks after eating an extra basket of xiaolongbao.
However, there was still a lot of breakfast left on the table.
Ji Jinnian glanced at the little girl who was still looking down and gnawing on a chicken wing, and couldn't help but tap his fingers against the frame of his glasses again, a glint of interest flashing behind the lenses.
Qiqi was happily munching on a chicken wing when she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. She timidly looked up and met Ji Jinnian's gaze, which immediately made her shrink back in fright.
The chicken wings in my hand suddenly didn't taste good anymore.
"Second, second brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Her trembling little voice revealed just how terrified she was of Ji Jinnian. "Do you...do you want to eat?"
The chubby little hand grabbed a chicken wing and handed it over.
Qiqi thought that she had just eaten breakfast obediently and hadn't done anything, so her second brother probably didn't want to turn her into a maid; he probably just wanted to eat her chicken wings.
After all, these honey-glazed chicken wings are really delicious.
Ji Jinnian didn't take it, but looked at her with interest: "Little sister, could you give me some of the candy you gave to your third brother earlier?"
candy?
Qiqi blinked in confusion, then instantly realized that her second brother thought the bottle of medicine she gave to her third brother was candy.
"But, Second Brother, you are in good health and don't need to eat."
Ji Jinnian pushed up her glasses: "I'm not eating, I just want to do some research."
"Oh, I see," Qiqi took a tissue from the side, wiped her fingers clean, then took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and handed it to him, "Second brother, take this."
Ji Jinnian reached out to take it.
Qiqi pulled her little hand back again, looking at him with some reluctance: "Second brother, I've been refining this medicine for a long time. Can you be a little more careful with your research? Can you give me back the leftovers?"
"Did you concoct this medicine yourself?"
"Uh-huh."
"You can even make medicine?" Ji Jinnian's interest deepened behind his glasses.
Qiqi: ……
Oh no, has she caught her second brother's attention again?
Is my second brother going to turn her into a maid?
Should she go to the garden now and catch a few bugs to keep in mind?
But she wasn't full yet, and there was still so much delicious food left; it would be a waste if she just ate it all.
The dean said that waste is bad.
Let's eat first and then go catch the bugs.
Qiqi quietly moved her little bottom closer to Huo Yusen. If her second brother was going to turn her into a maid right now, her ninth brother would definitely protect her, right?
Uncle Huo Fei and Uncle Huo Yong are really amazing!
Hmm, thinking about it that way, Qiqi felt at ease and continued to bury her head in eating chicken wings.
Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.
Ji Jinnian played with the medicine in his hand. Seeing Qiqi eating with her head down and not daring to look at him, he couldn't help but smile.
The little girl is quite cute.
Under the shocked gazes of Ji Jinnian and Ji Jingchi, Qiqi finished all the breakfast on the table.
She let out a satisfied burp, leaned back in her high chair, and comfortably hugged her stomach, saying, "Ah, that was good..."
Before she could finish saying "full," she met her second brother's sparkling gaze.
The eyes behind the glasses were fixed on her lower abdomen, as if they were about to dissect her with a scalpel at any moment.
Qiqi was so frightened that she quickly reached out to grab Huo Yusen's hand: "Brother Xiao Jiu, quick, quick, take me down."
Oh no, if she doesn't go to the garden to dig for bugs soon, her second brother will turn her into a little brat.
Huo Yusen could tell at a glance that she had been frightened by Ji Jinnian again, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the little girl by the waist to lift her off the dining chair.
As soon as Qiqi landed, she ran towards the garden.
"Mom, I'm going to play in the garden."
