Ji Yunhan carried Qiqi into the living room, and Madam Ji, Ji Jinyou, and Ji Zeqian also got out of the car after hearing the sound of the car.
Ji Zhixu was in his study making a phone call with his professor to discuss the progress of the experiment, so he was absent.
Seeing Ji Yunhan carrying Qiqi in, Madam Ji was the first to step forward and take her youngest daughter from her fourth son's arms.
She had only been separated from her daughter for a few hours, but it felt like years had passed.
I was always worried about whether Qiqi had eaten enough while she was out, and I was worried that Ji Chengfeng, a grown man, wouldn't be able to take good care of her.
The moment Mrs. Ji took her daughter in her arms, she asked gently, "Qibao, are you hungry? Mommy saved your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and a big chicken leg. Do you want some?"
Upon hearing that there were sweet and sour pork ribs and big chicken legs, Qiqi's mouth immediately started watering uncontrollably, and her big, bright eyes were filled with longing for meat.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The little foodie's adorable appearance made Madam Ji smile from ear to ear.
She knew that Qi Bao must not be eating well outside.
So he quickly told the servants to bring up the food that had been reserved for the young lady.
Taking the opportunity, Ji Jinyou asked the same question as Ji Yunhan: "Little sister, was the banquet fun?"
Qiqi shook her head: "It's not fun at all."
At that moment, Ji Chengfeng pushed Huo Yusen into the living room.
Qiqi immediately pointed at Huo Yusen: "There was a naughty kid who bullied the older brother. Qiqi saved the older brother and brought him home."
Then she waved to Huo Yusen, "Brother Xiao Jiu, come here quickly, Qiqi will introduce you to my brothers."
Huo Yusen wheeled himself over and politely greeted the only woman present: "Mrs. Ji, hello. My name is Huo Yusen, and I am the ninth child in my family. You can call me Xiao Jiu. I apologize for the intrusion."
"No disturbance at all, you are welcome to visit our home." Faced with the exquisitely cute and polite little girl, Mrs. Ji had no resistance whatsoever, and a gentle smile graced her face.
His loving gaze fell on Huo Yusen's legs, paused slightly, and a hint of regret flashed across his eyes.
Such an outstanding child, how could he be disabled? It's such a pity!
Huo Yusen was used to being looked at with pity and sympathy, and he didn't react to it.
Qiqi had already enthusiastically climbed down from Madam Ji's arms and ran over to Huo Yusen, introducing him one by one, starting with Ji Yunhan.
"Little Ninth Brother, this is my Fourth Brother, Ji Yunhan. Fourth Brother is nine years old this year, older than you."
Huo Yusen then called out, "Fourth Brother Ji."
Ji Yunhan snorted, but out of politeness, he still greeted him: "Hello."
"Little Ninth Brother, this is my Fifth Brother, Ji Jinyou. He's seven years old this year, so he should be older than you."
Huo Yusen called out again, "Fifth Brother Ji."
Ji Jinyou smiled slightly, skillfully concealing his probing gaze behind a gentle and polite demeanor: "Hello, little brother Jiu."
Despite the gentle tone of his voice, a chill ran down Huo Yusen's spine.
As if being watched by something terrifying, he couldn't help but glance at this Fifth Brother Ji a couple more times.
But he saw a little boy, no more than two years older than him, with a gentle and harmless face. When he saw him looking over, his eyebrows curved into a deeper smile.
He clearly has a very approachable demeanor.
Finally, Qiqi walked up to Ji Zeqian, took his hand, and introduced him with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Little Ninth Brother, this is my Sixth Brother, Ji Zeqian. Sixth Brother is amazing, he can play very complicated chess games. But my Sixth Brother is five years old, Little Ninth Brother, how old are you?"
Huo Yusen felt inexplicably annoyed by Qi Qi's admiration for Ji Zeqian.
The little boy's stubborn competitive spirit kicked in, and he looked at Qiqi and said, "I'm also five years old, and I can play chess too."
"Oh, so who's older, Little Ninth Brother or Sixth Brother?" Qiqi blinked her big eyes curiously.
Madam Ji asked softly from the side, "In what month was Xiao Jiu born?"
"July."
"Oh, just like our sixth child." Mrs. Ji was surprised by the coincidence between the two, and then asked, "What's the specific date?"
"The seventh day of the seventh lunar month."
"It's actually Qixi Festival," Madam Ji said, looking at Huo Yusen with a smile. "Boys born on Qixi Festival are all sentimental. Xiao Jiu will definitely be a very gentle and warm-hearted man in the future."
Qiqi, however, had a sparkle in her eyes after hearing Huo Yusen's birthdate. She took Madam Ji's hand and asked, "What about Sixth Brother? What's Sixth Brother's date?"
"Your sixth brother was born on July 14th, a week younger than Xiao Jiu." I wonder if it's because it's close to the Ghost Festival that Xiao Liu's personality has been so strange since he was little.
July 14th...
Qiqi lowered her eyes, her chubby little hands calculating for a moment. She seemed to know why the person behind it all wanted to create a bound spirit to scare her sixth brother.
However, she remained outwardly calm, smiling sweetly as she took Ji Zeqian's hand and led him to Huo Yusen.
"Sixth Brother, this is Ninth Brother."
Ji Zeqian looked at Huo Yusen, his indifferent eyes devoid of any emotion, but his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, as if he might not be able to resist punching Huo Yusen at any moment.
He doesn't like his sister calling him "brother".
Seeing that her sixth brother was not cooperating this time, Qiqi was a little surprised. She grabbed Ji Zeqian's hand and shook it: "Sixth brother, call him Xiao Jiu brother."
Ji Zeqian snorted and turned his head to the side.
He disliked the older brother who had taken his sister away.
Qiqi blinked, somewhat confused.
What's wrong with Sixth Brother?
Huo Yusen, on the other hand, took the initiative to greet Ji Zeqian: "Sixth Brother Ji, it's a pleasure to meet you."
You're good at chess, huh?
He'll show the little girl who's more powerful!
The atmosphere between the two boys suddenly became strangely tense.
Qiqi looked at this and then that, confused, her little brain not quite able to process everything.
What's wrong with Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother?
Fortunately, the servants quickly set out the food, and the rich aroma immediately caught Qiqi's attention.
Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, Mom saved some really delicious meat for me, let's go eat it together."
Previously, at the banquet, Brother Xiao Jiu was bullied by that annoying bad guy just because he ate two pieces of cake, so he definitely didn't eat enough.
So she extended a warm invitation without reservation: "Brother Xiao Jiu, Aunt Zhang's cooking is delicious!"
Huo Yusen doesn't actually have the habit of eating after 6 PM.
Eating cake at a banquet is just something to do to pass the time when you're bored.
But now, faced with the little girl's invitation and looking into her bright eyes, he inexplicably felt a little hungry.
So he nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Qiqi cheered and quickly pushed his wheelchair toward the restaurant.
"Little Brother Jiu, you must eat more later, you're too thin!"
