Some time ago, Madam Ji became obsessed with watching TV dramas about cultivating immortality, and the dramas mentioned Penglai Immortal Island in many places.
The little girl probably learned it while watching the show with her.
I just don't understand why she seemed so guilty over something as simple as a place name.
This little girl seems to be hiding many secrets that he doesn't know about.
Ji Jingchi smiled knowingly, but didn't expose her. He simply put the peeled shrimp into her bowl.
He then explained to her, "Yes, this is all made up on TV. There is no such place as Penglai Island in the world."
"Oh," Qiqi responded, then lowered her head, picked up a shrimp with a small fork, and put it in her mouth.
It's icy cold when you first bite into it, and then a sweet taste explodes on your tongue. The shrimp meat is tender and soft, and Qiqi's eyes widened at the sight of it.
"Mmm, it's so delicious!"
The little girl quickly ate the shrimp that Huo Yusen and Huo Fei had peeled and brought over. Then, she blinked her innocent and naive big eyes at the three people who had peeled the shrimp for her, her eyes filled with desire.
Ji Jingchi: ...
That was a mistake; we should have asked the restaurant for shrimp-peeling services.
It felt like the three of them couldn't possibly keep up with the little girl's eating speed.
Ji Jingchi raised his hand, and immediately a waiter came over to ask him what service he needed. "Please call a few staff members over to peel shrimp and prepare crabs. I can pay an extra service fee!"
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Actually, when the store isn't busy, they offer free shrimp peeling services.
However, since the guest offered to pay the extra fee, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, the extra fee will be considered a tip and directly added to their personal income.
As soon as the waiter informed the others, four or five staff members came over to peel shrimp for them.
Soon, a small mountain of food piled up on the plate in front of Qiqi.
Qiqi ate with great relish, her eyes squinting with happiness.
But as she ate, she felt a slight itch on her neck and couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.
The little girl's skin was fair and tender; even a slight scratch left a noticeable red mark.
Huo Yusen was the first to notice, and asked with a frown, "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
Qiqi shook her head, realizing that her neck was itching even more.
Moreover, the area of itching is getting wider and wider, and even my whole body is starting to itch.
"I don't know, I suddenly feel so itchy." Qiqi scratched wildly, her face scrunched up, and her throat was also a little uncomfortable and itchy, which made her cough twice.
"What's wrong? Why did it suddenly start itching?" Ji Jingchi put down his knife and fork, got up and came over to check on her.
Qiqi scratched haphazardly with one hand and rubbed her throat with the other. "Second brother, my throat hurts..."
The little girl was not only uncomfortable, her voice was hoarse, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.
The waiter was the first to react, "Is the young lady allergic to seafood?"
Logically speaking, guests who come to eat at seafood buffets should not have seafood allergies.
Besides, the little girl looks to be over three years old, so her family should have given her seafood regularly.
But her current symptoms clearly indicate an allergic reaction.
Only after being reminded by the waiter did Ji Jingchi realize that the little girl really did look like she was having an allergic reaction.
"Huo Fei, hurry up and get the car!"
Seeing that Qiqi was having difficulty breathing and her face was flushed red with discomfort, Huo Yusen was so anxious that his voice changed.
Huo Fei quickly turned around to get the car, while Ji Jingchi scooped Qi Qi up in his arms and ran out.
As Huo Yusen maneuvered his wheelchair to catch up, he took out his phone to call Ji Chengfeng, "Uncle Ji, Qiqi has a seafood allergy. We need to take her to the hospital immediately. Please contact the hospital and make preparations for emergency treatment!"
"What?" Ji Chengfeng was in a meeting when he heard this and jumped up, his chair tipping over with his force. "Okay, I'll call the hospital right now."
He still had a lot of anger to vent, but now was not the time; Qiqi's safety was the most important thing.
Ji Chengfeng hung up the phone and immediately called the president of Jiangcheng Hospital to explain the situation. The president immediately notified the directors of the pediatrics and dermatology departments to prepare for emergency reception and consultation.
After arranging everything, Ji Chengfeng said, "The meeting is adjourned. I need to go to the hospital first," and hurriedly left after putting on his coat.
After the car drove out of the underground parking garage, he remembered to call Mrs. Ji.
Upon learning that Qiqi had gone to the hospital for an allergic reaction, Madam Ji was extremely anxious and quickly changed her clothes to rush to the hospital.
By the time they rushed over, Qiqi had already been taken to the emergency room.
Enraged, Ji Chengfeng slapped Ji Jingchi on the shoulder, demanding, "What's wrong with you? You took your sister out for a perfectly normal day, how did things turn out like this?"
He was so angry that he couldn't control his strength when he struck.
Seeing her son stumble from the slap and almost hit his head against the wall, she regretted it and grabbed his arm to help him stand up.
Madam Ji reached out to help him up, glared at him, then turned to look at her second son, whose face was full of guilt and worry, and asked softly, "Xiao Chi, tell your mother, what exactly happened?"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not taking good care of my sister." The boy lowered his head, taking all the blame upon himself without offering any explanation.
In fact, he did believe it was his fault.
He hadn't considered that his sister was allergic to seafood.
I just wanted to let my younger sister try seafood since she had never eaten it before.
He had experience in drug research; he should have considered this beforehand.
But he didn't.
It was his fault.
Madam Ji frowned slightly; she knew her son's personality all too well.
He probably just thought that Qiqi had never eaten seafood before, so he took her to eat it.
"It's alright, it's not your fault." Madam Ji reached out and patted her son's shoulder, trying to soothe him. "Don't worry, your sister will be fine."
No matter how mature Koike looks, she's still just a child in her early teens.
Ji Jingchi nodded silently.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to his sister.
The young man was on edge, his fingers hanging at his sides almost digging into his palms, and his lips pressed tightly together.
Fortunately, the emergency room lights went out quickly, and Qiqi was wheeled out on a hospital bed, her face pale and not very energetic.
With an IV needle stuck in his head, he looked incredibly pitiful.
Upon seeing Ji Chengfeng and his wife, the little girl forced herself to speak, "Daddy, Mommy."
His voice was terribly hoarse, sounding weak and listless.
"Mom and Dad are here. If you're feeling unwell, don't talk. Just rest. Mom and Dad will always be here with you."
