However, Ji Chengfeng didn't care whether the Li family would be grateful to them. He cared more about his own little daughter than the Li family.
Therefore, Ji Chengfeng politely declined: "Thank you, Brother Jian, for your trouble in making the connection for us. However, as you know, Qiqi is still young and has limited abilities. Since the Li family has brought in so many masters who couldn't solve the problem, our Qiqi may not be able to either. So, Brother Jian, I'm afraid..."
"Brother Ji, please don't be so quick to refuse. Can we at least let Qiqi go and see her?" Jian Qichuan disregarded social etiquette and interrupted Ji Chengfeng. "The Li family's problems are really serious. Li Heng and his wife have suffered a lot and finally had Xiao En. If something happens to Xiao En, not only will they not survive, but even Grandpa Li and the others might not be able to live. So even if we just try, can we let Qiqi go?"
Ji Chengfeng was still hesitant: "Brother Jian, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that..."
"I'm begging you as a brother, Brother Ji, I have no other choice. We're all parents, and if something happened to your child... Of course, I don't mean to offend you, Brother Ji. I just want to say that if you were ever in such a situation, you would surely want to seize every possible opportunity!"
Ji Chengfeng had no way to respond to that.
Indeed, as a parent himself, he could probably understand the feelings of the Li family.
But……
This doesn't mean he can make decisions for Qiqi!
"I still need to discuss this with Qiqi. If Qiqi is unwilling, I will not force the child!"
"Of course!" Jian Qichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he agreed.
Over there, Jian Yicheng was already shocked by Qiqi's enormous appetite.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch Qiqi's little belly, and was very surprised at how such a small belly could hold so much food.
Qiqi felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, her face flushed, and she said, "Miss, did I eat too much and scare you?"
"No, no." Jian Yicheng shook her head, her long hair, tied in a ponytail, swaying behind her as she shook her head. "Do you eat this much every meal?"
She patted Qiqi's little belly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Qiqi shook her head: "Maybe it's because I'm strong and my energy is depleted quickly."
"Are you very strong?" Jian Yicheng blinked curiously.
Qiqi nodded very seriously: "Yes, it's very big." Then, as if afraid she wouldn't believe her, she gestured with her hand, "About... this big!"
Jian Yicheng pinched her little arm. Although it was chubby like a lotus root, it was hard to imagine how much strength such a little arm could have.
"Really? I don't believe it!" Jian Yicheng blinked. "How about we arm wrestle? If you beat me, I'll believe you."
Sometimes, children's competitive spirit is just that strange.
Qiqi tilted her head, and the bell on her headband made a crisp sound: "But, Miss, you are too weak. I'm afraid you will get hurt."
"Me? Weak?" Jian Yicheng bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, rolling up her non-existent sleeves. "I don't believe it! Come on, I'm going to try it today!"
She's several years older than Qiqi, how could she possibly lose to a three-and-a-half-year-old girl?
Seeing that she seemed determined to arm wrestle with her, Qiqi sighed helplessly like a little adult.
"Let's make it clear first, if you lose, you're not allowed to cry, okay?"
Jian Yicheng: ...
Crying? Her? Are you kidding me!
She would never cry!
No, there's absolutely no way she could lose!
Ji Zhixu lifted Qiqi down from the high chair and placed her in a regular high chair.
Qiqi is so tall that when she stands, she can barely put her elbows on the table.
"bring it on."
The two little girls put their hands on each other and held them. Just as Jian Yicheng was about to count "three, two, one," Qiqi suddenly said, "Sister, do you want to put your other hand on top too?"
Jian Yicheng: "Who do you think you are? I can handle it with just one hand!"
Ji Yunhan was eager to try and acted as the referee: "Okay, I'll count to three now."
"Mm." The two girls nodded in unison, then looked up at each other, and they could see the competitive spirit rising in each other's eyes.
"Three, two, one..."
As soon as Ji Yunhan finished counting, Jian Yicheng immediately stepped up.
I thought I could easily break Qiqi's wrist, but to my surprise, the little girl's hand was as if it were nailed to the table and wouldn't budge!
Jian Yicheng stared in shock, her eyes widening, and then she increased her strength in disbelief.
She tried her best, but couldn't budge the little girl's hand an inch.
"Miss, why don't you use another hand?" Unlike her, who was exerting all her strength until her face turned red, Qiqi on the other side seemed to be very relaxed.
It looks like they didn't exert any effort at all!
Jian Yicheng was amazing. Although it was embarrassing, she gritted her teeth and used her other hand as well.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make Qiqi's hand move even slightly.
Ji Yunhan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but frown: "Wait, did you even use any force?"
"I used every ounce of strength I had!" Jian Yicheng roared in exasperation.
"Tsk, you're too weak!"
"If you're so good, then you do it!"
"I'll go! I'll go!"
Jian Yicheng let go of his hand: "I'm not going to fight anymore, I admit defeat!" She turned her head and snorted at Ji Yunhan, "I'd like to see just how good you are!"
Ji Yunhan immediately rolled up his short-sleeved shirt to his shoulders, showing off his biceps.
"I'll show you what a real strongman is right now!"
After saying that, Ji Yunhan pushed Jian Yicheng aside, sat down opposite Qiqi, stretched his wrists, and then held his sister's wrist.
"Little sister, your fourth brother takes every competition very seriously and will never hold back!"
Qiqi nodded, the little bell ringing crisply: "Yes, Qiqi won't hold back either!"
Ji Chengfeng and Jian Qichuan, who had finished speaking, walked over and couldn't help but find it amusing to see the strange competitive spirit among the group of kids.
"What are you doing?" Jian Qichuan asked curiously.
Jian Yicheng immediately explained excitedly to her father, "Dad, we're arm wrestling! Qiqi is so strong, I can't beat her even with both hands. Her fourth brother wants to try too. Guess who will win?"
Jian Qichuan raised an eyebrow and looked at the little girl with two small pigtails in disbelief.
No way, how strong can a three-year-old girl be?
Her own daughter is at least three or four years older than her, how could she possibly be unable to overpower her with both hands?!
