Ji Zhixu only saw a figure rushing towards him, so he instinctively caught it.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a sweet and soft little dumpling, who even called him "big brother".
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "You're Qiqi?"
"It's me, big brother." Qiqi looked up in Ji Zhixu's arms, her big eyes blinking brightly like the stars in the sky.
Ji Zhixu's heart softened at the sight, and he knelt down to pick up Qiqi: "How did Qiqi know I was her big brother?"
"Qiqi figured it out." Qiqi pinched her little finger, like a little fortune teller. "Qiqi is very accurate. She has never made a mistake."
"Qiqi can tell fortunes?"
Ji Zhixu raised an eyebrow. Wasn't it said that this little girl was adopted from an orphanage, with unknown parents and an unclear background?
Where does the little girl learn fortune telling from?
"Mmm-hmm." Qiqi nodded her little head, looking like a chick pecking at rice. "Qiqi is really good at fortune telling, big brother, do you want Qiqi to tell your fortune?"
Ji Zhixu was an absolute materialist and didn't believe in anything about gods, ghosts, or mystical things.
However, the little girl was so cute that he couldn't bear to spoil her fun. Even though he didn't believe it in his heart, he still said, "Okay, how does Qiqi want to calculate it?"
Qiqi's gaze fell on Ji Zhixu's face, and her fair and tender face immediately looked ugly.
Her gaze fell on Ji Zhixu's brow, and she kept her lips pursed without saying a word.
Originally full of anticipation, Ji Zhixu was waiting for her younger sister to say something, but when she saw her sister staring at her face, her mood plummeted.
The Ji family members are all good-looking, but he alone has to wear glasses at a young age because of excessive reading, which has actually sealed away his good looks. Compared to his other younger brothers, his face is indeed not as good-looking.
Could it be that his sister thinks he's not as good-looking as his brothers?
"Big brother, has a sister been bothering you lately?" Qiqi could tell from Ji Zhixu's appearance that he was having a lot of romantic encounters lately.
However, one of the peach blossoms was rotten and would do no good to the older brother.
These words were like a sudden, unexpected blow to Ji Zhixu's head, leaving him somewhat disoriented.
Recently, several female classmates have been pestering him, always trying to get close to him. One of them even cornered him in the bathroom at a class reunion, intending to do something to him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided it, and other classmates also approached later, preventing her from succeeding. Otherwise, he would be in no position to explain himself now.
However, he was afraid that his family would worry, so he never talked about these things at home. How did Qiqi know?
Could it be that she really can tell fortunes?
"Qiqi, did your parents say something to you?" Compared to his sister's ability to tell fortunes, Ji Zhixu was more inclined to believe that his parents were worried about him being in danger at school, so they had been secretly sending people to protect him.
Otherwise, my classmate wouldn't have arrived so promptly last time.
Little did Ji Zhixu know that it wasn't that her classmate arrived in time, but rather that everyone in the Ji family had extraordinary luck and always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune.
Even though Ji Chengfeng's luck was stolen, it didn't cause any immediate harm.
“It wasn’t Mom and Dad who told Qiqi,” Qiqi shook her head, looking earnestly at Ji Zhixu, “Big brother, didn’t Qiqi say that Qiqi can tell fortunes? Qiqi saw all of this. And…”
Qi Qi paused for a moment, and Ji Zhixu, curious to know what would happen next, pressed on, "And what?"
"Furthermore, Qiqi also figured out that one of the older sisters is a bad person who wants to get with Big Brother and tried to scheme against him once. But Big Brother was lucky, and she didn't succeed. However, she's already plotting an even more vicious scheme, so Big Brother, you must be careful!"
Qiqi actually noticed that he almost fell for the other party's trick. Could she really be a fortune teller?!
Ji Zhixu was starting to believe it, but his long-held values still left him with some doubts.
He carried Qiqi to the living room, and said to her, "Okay, big brother will be careful."
Just as she was about to step into the living room, Qiqi suddenly remembered the bad guy who had fainted in the backyard and immediately cried out, "Oh dear, big brother, there's another big bad guy in the garden! Come with me and catch him!"
"Big bad guy?"
Ji Zhixu was taken aback, and then realized, it's so late, why is Qiqi, a little kid, still awake?
His expression immediately changed. Given his parents' desire for a daughter, since they were willing to adopt Qiqi, they couldn't possibly ignore her; they would definitely take good care of her.
Qiqi would wake up alone in the middle of the night, still in the garden; something must have happened.
Remembering Qiqi's comment about a big bad guy in the garden, Ji Zhixu suspected that someone was trying to break into the Ji family and steal Qiqi away.
After all, there were quite a few people in the Ji family who wanted a daughter, and many others had previously tried to force their daughters into the Ji family for various reasons.
The Ji family's sudden adoption of a girl was certainly something they didn't want to see, and it's understandable that they wanted to destroy the child.
Ji Zhixu's face immediately turned ugly.
He carried Qiqi toward the back garden, while instructing the driver behind him, "Go upstairs and wake up the master and mistress, and have them come to the back garden."
"yes."
The driver went upstairs to call Ji Chengfeng and his wife, while Ji Zhixu carried Qiqi to the back garden.
The reason we didn't call Ji Yunhan and the other two is because they are still young and have to go to school tomorrow, so it's not suitable for them to stay up late.
Besides, even if you call out, it might not do any good, so it's better not to call out at all.
Upon arriving at the back garden, Ji Zhixu immediately spotted a man lying on the ground, dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap—a man who clearly wasn't a good person.
There was also a deep pit that had been dug out in the flower bed.
There was a square box buried in the pit.
Ji Zhixu frowned. When did such a thing end up in his own garden?
Was it always there, or was this person just buried there?
What's in the box? What's the purpose of burying it in the garden?
Too many questions left Ji Zhixu completely baffled, and she couldn't help but kick the man who had fainted on the ground.
Qiqi wrapped her arms around his big neck, and seeing that he seemed to want to kick the man awake, she couldn't help but say, "Big brother, he ate Qiqi's sleep-inducing candy, he won't wake up for at least 24 hours."
"Drowsiness candy?"
"Yes, these are candies that Qiqi made herself. She added a bewitching herb to them, which can make people fall into a deep sleep and never wake up."
Ji Zhixu was somewhat surprised that Qiqi could actually refine medicine.
This little girl seems to be more than just an orphan from an orphanage!
However, when Ji Zhixu looked into Qiqi's big, innocent black eyes, he thought, "This little sister is so well-behaved and cute, so what if she has some secret abilities?"
As long as she doesn't hurt her family, she's his most beloved little sister!
