Upon hearing that her father was going to skin her brother alive, Qiqi immediately poked her head out from her mother's arms: "Don't skin him alive, Daddy, no!"
The little girl's face was deathly pale, and her big eyes were brimming with tears, so watery that it broke your heart to see her like that.
Ji Chengfeng wished he could slap that brat again!
Look how scared the little girl is!
But when his little girl pouted, he dared not move.
All he could do was grit his teeth and glare angrily at his second son.
"Okay, okay, I won't skin you alive, I won't skin you alive. Dad was just joking with my second brother." I'll remember this debt and settle it with him sooner or later.
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and peeked out from Madam Ji's arms.
She hadn't seen clearly; seeing the bloody mess in the plate, she assumed it was the little girl her second brother had mentioned, and that's why she was frightened.
Now that we understand, looking at the second brother's face, although he is aloof, he is also an upright and kind person who would not hurt others casually.
Qiqi realized that she hadn't greeted her second brother yet.
So, feeling a little embarrassed, she hugged Madam Ji's arm and timidly called out, "Second Brother, hello, my name is Qiqi, I'm your little sister."
"I know." Ji Jinnian pushed up his glasses, his demeanor as aloof as ever.
However, the look behind the glasses was full of interest.
The cold attitude made Qiqi shrink back into Madam Ji's arms, only revealing her dark eyes.
Madam Ji wanted her daughter and second son to get closer. She got along well with all the children in the family, so why did things turn out this way with her second son?
So he patted Qiqi's head and said softly, "Qibao, since your second brother is interested in meridians and acupoints, why don't you teach him? That way, he won't have to use lab rats again, right?"
Qiqi paused for a moment, then realized that it made sense, and nodded: "If Second Brother is willing, then so be it."
"Qi Bao is such a good girl." Looking down at the gauze wrapped around her delicate white palm, he felt a little worried. "But Qi Bao's hand is injured. Does she still need to get acupuncture from Brother Xiao Jiu?"
"Yes, we must." Acupuncture cannot be interrupted, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, and the meridians may even reverse, causing more serious damage.
As she spoke, Qiqi jumped down from Madam Ji's arms, walked up to Ji Jinnian, looked up at him secretly, and was still a little scared when she met his cold eyes. She asked timidly, "Second brother, do you want to come with me?"
"Mm." Ji Jinnian glanced at her and nodded.
He genuinely wanted to see for himself just how amazing this little sister, who was rumored to have extraordinary medical skills, really was.
Seeing that he was really going, Qiqi was a little surprised, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
It's round and looks kind of cute.
Ji Jinnian couldn't help but reach out to touch her head, but Qiqi was so frightened that she covered her head and suddenly darted towards the stairs.
"I'm going to find Brother Xiao Jiu. Second Brother, you can come along by yourself."
Ji Jinnian watched her run away quickly and clicked his tongue inwardly. She was still afraid of him.
"By the way, where's San'er?" Ji Chengfeng asked.
Ji Jinnian was about to follow when he heard this and stopped.
"Xiaochi is not in good health and cannot stay up late. She should rest in her room."
Ji Chengfeng nodded: "It's so late, Xiao Chi really should rest. Let's introduce Qi Bao to him tomorrow morning."
"Mm," Ji Jinnian responded and went upstairs.
Ji Chengfeng shouted behind him, "Don't let me find out you're bullying your sister again. Do you hear me?"
"Hmm." Another lukewarm response.
Ji Chengfeng was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.
When Qiqi returned, Huo Yusen was washing up in the bathroom, so he didn't hear the noise downstairs.
After coming out, Huo Fei immediately reported what had happened downstairs to him.
Upon learning that Qiqi was injured, Huo Yusen's face immediately turned cold. He had Huo Fei carry him to a wheelchair and was about to go out to find Qiqi.
As soon as the door opened, the little girl came running in, clutching her head, her face deathly pale, as if something terrifying was chasing her.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yusen quickly wheeled himself over and took the little girl into his arms.
Qiqi's big, dark eyes held a hint of fear as she clung to Huo Yusen's arm, saying, "It's okay."
No way!
The little girl is usually a cheerful person, always with a smiling face and her eyes crinkling, but she has never been so frightened that her face turned white.
The elevator dinged, indicating that someone had boarded.
Huo Yusen clearly noticed the little girl in his arms flinch, so he quickly hugged her tighter and gently patted her shoulder with his small hand.
"Qiqi, don't be afraid, Brother Xiao Jiu is here."
Huo Yusen looked up and saw Ji Jinnian coming out of the elevator.
His face was cold and indifferent, and his eyes behind his glasses were fixed on the little girl in his arms.
The little girl was clearly afraid of him; she quickly lowered her head when she met his gaze.
Qiqi is bold and wouldn't be afraid of someone easily.
What did the second brother of the Ji family do to Qiqi?
Huo Yusen's indifferent gaze fell on Ji Jinnian's face: "Why is Second Brother Ji here?"
"Little Ninth Brother, I asked Second Brother to come." The little girl in his arms tugged at his sleeve.
Huo Yusen looked down in confusion and immediately noticed the bandage wrapped around the little girl's hand. He grabbed her hand and asked, "You're injured? What happened? Who hurt you?"
In that instant, the five-year-old boy's aura suddenly turned cold and stern, exuding a strong killing intent.
Qiqi was a little scared.
"I... I just tripped and fell, and got a scrape. Nobody hurt me." Qiqi looked at him timidly with her big, dark eyes. "Brother Xiao Jiu, what... happened?"
Huo Yusen then realized that he had lost control and released the evil thoughts in his heart.
The little girl was frightened.
"I'm sorry, I startled you." Huo Yusen apologized first, and then said, "Since you are injured, let's stop the acupuncture for now and continue until you are healed."
"No, the acupuncture can't be stopped, otherwise Little Nine will get hurt instead."
"But your hands..."
"It's okay, Dad called the doctor to apply the medicine, and I'll be fine soon."
Qiqi turned her hands over and over, clenching and unclenching them, "See, there's no problem at all."
As a result, he used too much force, which aggravated the wound, causing him to hiss in pain.
"You call this okay?" Huo Yusen frowned immediately, took Qiqi's hand, and blew on her palm with concern. "My leg has been lame for so long, the situation can't be that serious. Let's talk about acupuncture after your hand is healed."
Qiqi didn't expect that what she wanted to prove to herself was okay would actually aggravate her wound and make her brother Xiaojiu even more worried.
But when she heard him say that he was going to stop acupuncture, she immediately became anxious: "No, no, I must heal Brother Xiao Jiu's legs!"
