Ji Zhixu immediately picked out the prettiest piece of cake and handed it over: "Little sister, this one is beautiful."
Ji Jinnian wasn't going to be outdone: "Let's eat this piece instead, it looks better."
“I think the decorations on this cake complement your dress better,” Ji Jingchi said, handing over a piece as well.
When it comes to vying for favor, Ji Yunhan is by no means inferior: "This one clearly suits my sister better; she's just as pretty as her."
"Little sister, you said you were closest to Fifth Brother, right?" Ji Jinyou asked with a smile and an innocent look in his eyes.
Even the usually aloof Ji Zeqian hurriedly grabbed a piece and said, "Little sister, have some."
Qiqi: ……
She instantly became a master of diplomacy, accepting all the cakes her brothers offered: "Thank you, big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother! Qiqi likes all of these!"
Luckily, she has a big appetite, otherwise how could she possibly handle the love from so many brothers!
The master of balance didn't forget there was another one beside him: "Little Nine's is also something Qiqi likes."
Reach out and take the cake from Huo Yusen's hand.
Huo Yusen's previously downcast eyes suddenly opened, brightening and filling with tiny sparkles of light. The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile, and his whole face became radiant.
The six brothers beside them: ...
My teeth are sensitive!
Why are you smiling so beautifully for no reason?
I really want to throw him out!
Madam Ji found it amusing. She placed a piece of cake on a plate, set out a fork, and handed it to Ji Jinsu. Then she turned to look at her six sons, who were looking at each other with crossed eyes: "Alright, stop fooling around. Let your little sister eat in peace."
The six Ji brothers obediently agreed, but they still looked at their sister expectantly, waiting for her to take the first bite.
It's as if whoever gave her the first bite wins.
Madam Ji: ...
That's enough.
She swiftly reached out, picked up her little girl, placed her on her lap, and then took an egg tart and offered it to her daughter's lips.
"Qibao, your hand is hurt, let Mom feed you." She was still feeling regretful that she hadn't been able to feed her little girl breakfast that morning.
Qiqi was in a dilemma. She couldn't bear to make any of her brothers sad, but she only had one mouth and couldn't eat all seven small cakes at once.
Her mother's words immediately resolved her predicament.
"Thank you, Mom." Qiqi happily took a bite, her big eyes curving into a happy smile.
Hearing that Qiqi's hand was injured, Ji Jinsu, who was quietly eating cake, immediately asked anxiously, "Fifth Aunt, how did Qiqi get her hand injured? Did you prick me with acupuncture yesterday?"
If so, he would feel terribly guilty.
“No, it has nothing to do with you, Xiao Su.” Madam Ji quickly said. Because the child was blind, his personality had become increasingly sensitive and self-conscious over the years. “It was when Qi Qi came back last night that she was frightened by your brother Jin Nian and fell down and got hurt. It’s not serious, just a little scrape.”
"That's good." Ji Jinsu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little disappointed.
How could he let his little sister treat his eyes when she had injured her hand?
Unexpectedly, Qiqi said in her sweet, childlike voice, "Brother Jinsu, don't worry, Qiqi can give you acupuncture."
"Really?" Ji Jinsu gripped the small fork tightly and said hesitantly, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. We can wait until my sister's hand is better."
"No!" Qiqi shook her head. "Brother Jinsu's eyes are so beautiful, I want to heal them as soon as possible!"
Ji Jinsu: ...
This is the first time someone has complimented his beautiful eyes.
A ray of light seemed to be poured into my gloomy heart.
At this moment, Ji Jinsu felt that even if he had to live in darkness for the rest of his life, he could get through it with this ray of light in his heart.
A soft, fragrant voice, filled with the aroma of tea, rang out: "So, little sister thinks our other brothers' eyes aren't pretty? Otherwise, why have you never praised us?"
Qiqi was startled, and when she turned her head, she met six pairs of eyes staring at her.
Even Ji Jinnian silently removed his glasses, revealing a pair of clean and shrewd eyes, and stared straight at her.
Qiqi's scalp was about to explode. She shrank her little head into Madam Ji's arms and glanced guiltily to the side, only to meet another pair of dark eyes.
Qiqi: ……
Boys, regardless of age, are indeed competitive.
Poor her, she's just a three-year-old child, why does she have to endure all this!
Seven pairs of eyes stared intently at her, waiting for her answer.
Helpless, Qiqi could only grin and try to get away with it: "Huh? Didn't I compliment them? It must be because the brothers are all too handsome, so handsome that Qiqi was so mesmerized that she forgot everything else, which is why I didn't compliment them! Hmm, that must be it!"
Faced with their sister's sudden praise, the Ji brothers each showed a satisfied smile.
Madam Ji was amused by her strong will to survive. The three-and-a-half-year-old girl was so clever and mischievous.
And isn't the little girl's vocabulary a bit too amazing?
They even know the phrase "completely bewitched".
"You lot, that's enough! Stop teasing Qi Bao!" Madam Ji scolded her sons for their vying for attention, while she held her little girl in her arms, contentedly enjoying feeding her.
After finishing her dessert, Qiqi ran back to her room to deal with the evil spirits.
Seven boxes were lined up side by side in her room. Qiqi sat cross-legged on the carpet, opened the boxes, surrounded them around herself, and then began to perform hand seals to expel the evil spirits from them.
Although these things look terrifying, once the evil energy is removed and they are nurtured for a period of time, they can be made into corresponding magical artifacts.
When the time comes, I'll give these to my brothers so they can be protected.
After Qiqi returned to her room, she never came out again and was always busy.
When lunch was ready but she still hadn't appeared, Huo Yusen came up to call her.
As soon as he reached Qiqi's room, he felt unwell, with a tightness in his chest.
Huo Yusen's expression changed slightly; he was worried about the little girl and quickly knocked on the door.
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and before long, the little girl opened the door and peeked out her head.
"Hey, Brother Xiao Jiu, what brings you here?" Didn't she tell them not to come up here, lest they be harmed by the evil energy?
They hadn't sensed anything before because she used talismans to shield them from evil energy. But during the ritual, she had to remove the talismans and force out and cleanse all the malevolent energy. The concentration of evil energy was far beyond their tolerance.
Even though Huo Yusen had a strong purple aura that he could withstand, his face was still a little pale.
Seeing that Little Nine's expression was not right, Qiqi quickly slapped a talisman on him.
That's Huo Yusen. If it were any other brother, they probably wouldn't even be able to get close to the door.
