"Dad, what's wrong? What happened?" Ji Jinsu turned to Ji Chengnan with concern and asked anxiously.
Ji Chengnan stared intently at the drug composition report and treatment information sent by the research institute on his phone, his pupils trembling.
Hearing her son's voice, afraid that he would worry, she quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Something urgent happened at Dad's company, and I have to go there right away. Xiao Su, stay home and be a good boy. Tell Mom if anything happens."
After saying that, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, grabbed his phone and hurriedly left.
"Dad, be careful on the road." Ji Jinsu only had time to say one sentence before he heard the door close and Ji Chengnan had already run out the door.
Ji Jinsu was stunned. He had never seen his father so out of control before. Had something particularly serious happened?
Seeing her son's worry, Madam Ji San reached out and patted Ji Jinsu's head: "Alright, don't worry about your father, he can handle it."
"Okay." Ji Jinsu looked away. "By the way, Mom, could you call Uncle Wu for me?"
Madam Ji spread butter on the toast: "Why did you suddenly think of calling your fifth uncle?"
"I really like that little sister of my fifth uncle's family." Ji Jinsu said, biting into his toast, his words muffled and not telling the truth.
Madam Ji couldn't help but smile as she recalled Qiqi's fair and lovely face: "That little girl is indeed adorable."
She is good-looking and well-behaved.
Because Xiao Su is blind, he doesn't like to interact with people, and this is the first time he has asked which child he wants to find.
Madam Ji was naturally not happy about this: "After breakfast, Mom will call your fifth uncle."
"Thank you, Mom."
On the other side, Qiqi finished her morning lessons and, since there was still time, sat down at the table to draw talismans.
Ji Jinnian suddenly pushed the door open and came in, startling Qiqi. She immediately put the talisman under her arm and greeted Ji Jinnian in a dry voice, "Good morning, Second Brother."
"What are you doing?" Ji Jinnian pretended not to see the half-section of talisman paper sticking out from under the little girl's arm.
With its thin arms and legs, what could that little thing possibly hide?
He looked down from his vantage point and saw everything with a single glance.
Qiqi, trying to hide the talisman in her bosom, tried to cover it up even more, but unexpectedly, more of it was exposed, to the point that even Ji Jinnian could hardly keep up the act.
The little girl, oblivious to the truth, thought she had covered it up well, shaking her head vigorously: "No, no, I didn't do anything. Oh dear, I'm so hungry, second brother, let's go downstairs for breakfast."
After saying that, she jumped off the chair, grabbed Ji Jinnian's arm, and pulled him around.
As she walked, she kept glancing back cautiously at Ji Jinnian.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he hadn't looked at her small desk at all.
Seeing the little girl's attempt to cover up her misunderstanding, Ji Jinnian couldn't help but smile.
The little thing is so cute.
Huo Yusen happened to be calling Qiqi to dinner at the door, and his face turned ugly when he saw Ji Jinnian's gaze.
No wonder Qiqi is so afraid of the second brother of the Ji family. The way he stares at Qiqi is like he's staring at a lab rat. Anyone would be scared if they saw that.
"Brother Xiao Jiu!" Upon seeing Huo Yusen, Qi Qi felt like she had seen a savior. She immediately let go of Ji Jinnian's hand and ran towards him.
Huo Yusen reached out and caught the little girl, glanced coolly behind her, then put on a gentle and warm smile and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Jiu, I was drawing talismans in my room when Second Brother suddenly came in. I don't know if he saw my talisman, but his eyes were so scary. Will he dissect me like a lab rat and study me?"
Although her father and the others had explained it to her many times, and her second brother had promised that he wouldn't treat her like a little girl, she still couldn't help but be afraid.
The way her second brother looked at her was as if he wanted to slice her up and study her.
"Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter even if he sees it," Huo Yusen comforted. "Besides, didn't you say last night that your second brother is a good person? Good people don't just dissect people for research. Second Brother Ji just likes scientific research, so he's quite curious. He doesn't mean you any harm."
He would never have spoken up for that mad scientist if it weren't to appease the little girl!
Huo Yusen's gaze passed over Qi Qi's shoulder and shot fiercely towards Ji Jinnian, who was strolling leisurely behind him.
"Huh?" Qiqi looked at him blankly. "Brother Xiao Jiu, what is scientific research?"
"The exact opposite of you," Huo Yusen explained succinctly, "your metaphysics is the most unscientific thing."
"I don't understand." In the era she lived in, there was no scientific concept; everyone worshipped cultivating immortality and was obsessed with drawing talismans, refining elixirs, and ascending to heaven.
Reborn into this era, yet too young to experience much of it.
"You're still young, you don't need to understand." Huo Yusen patted her head. "Just remember not to let your second brother become curious about you."
Qiqi blinked: "Then what should I do?"
"It's very simple. Try not to show off your mystical abilities in front of him, such as drawing talismans, face reading, exorcising ghosts, etc. Absolutely not!"
Why not?
Huo Yusen considered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because Second Brother Ji might be frightened."
Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise.
Will my second brother still be scared by thunder?
If her second brother tries to cut her into pieces again, can she scare him by summoning lightning?
Qiqi's big eyes darted around, and her mischievous expression suggested she was plotting something naughty.
Ji Jinnian walked over and saw her smile. He couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead: "What are you grinning about?"
"Ouch," Qiqi's head jerked as she was poked, but after straightening it, she looked at Ji Jinnian with less fear. "It's nothing, Second Brother, don't poke my head like that. Grandpa Dean said that if your head gets poked too much, you'll become stupid!"
After saying that, she wrinkled her little nose and snorted at him before turning around, grabbing the armrest of the wheelchair, and pushing Huo Yusen downstairs. "Let's go, Brother Xiao Jiu, let's go have breakfast."
Behind him, Ji Jinnian looked at Qiqi's back with a meaningful gaze.
The little girl, who was just terrified, suddenly became fearless as if she had received a get-out-of-jail-free card.
interesting!
Ji Jinnian lifted his foot to catch up with the two little ones who were running very fast, a smile on his face that he himself did not realize was on his face.
Suddenly, the little guy was drooling over the delicious food on the table.
The dining table was already piled high, and Madam Ji and the servants were still carrying food out, as if they were determined to fill every nook and cranny of the table.
"Mom, isn't breakfast... a bit too much?"
