Ji Jinnian had already turned his head away and was engrossed in his experiment, completely ignoring her.
The senior student had made a fool of herself, but she was already used to Ji Jinnian's indifference and didn't take it to heart. She turned and left.
Stepping into the outer room, she saw a little girl sitting obediently in a chair, eating a small cake. Her adorable appearance, with her cheeks puffing out like a little hamster as she ate, was incredibly cute, instantly triggering her maternal instincts.
She immediately went over and squatted down in front of the little girl. "Hello, little sister, I'm Xiaonian's senior from the lab."
"Hello, big sister." Qiqi greeted her obediently, her big, dark eyes staring at her sister for several moments.
Oh dear, this older sister is having bad luck; she's run into a terrible romantic prospect.
Since it's a bad romantic prospect, it must be nipped in the bud.
After all, my older sister is a good person; she just helped them pass on a message to my second brother.
"Little sister, what's your name?" The senior couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, finding it so soft and smooth to the touch.
"Sister, my name is Qiqi." Qiqi stuffed the last bite of cake into her mouth, glanced at her, then turned and rummaged through the bag of snacks her mother had prepared for her for a while before taking out a small blueberry cake and handing it to her. "Sister, please have this. I'm waiting for my second brother. Sister, if you're done with your experiment, hurry home!"
The senior student was originally planning to go back home. She had been busy with experiments lately, and her boyfriend complained that she only had eyes for experiments and no longer cared about him.
She had finally finished early today and wanted to go home early to surprise her boyfriend.
She glanced at the small cake Qiqi handed her; it was blueberry flavored, which was exactly her boyfriend's favorite.
The senior student, who initially didn't want the snacks from the little girl, hesitated for a moment but still reached out and took them. "Thank you, Xiao Qiqi."
"You're welcome!" Qiqi said, then glanced at her face again, frowned, took out a talisman from her small bag and handed it over, "Sister, this is for you too. I hope you can meet someone who truly loves you!"
The senior student looked at the talisman folded into a triangle, and her heart melted.
Oh, how thoughtful!
Although she didn't believe in these things, she still didn't want to let Qiqi down. She took the item from behind and put it in her pocket, then reached out and rubbed Qiqi's head.
"Alright, I'm off!" Before leaving, she added, "The layout of this lab is a bit complicated, so just wait here and don't wander off!"
"Uh-huh."
The senior student has left.
Rather than teasing a soft, tender little dumpling, she would rather hurry back and spend some precious time alone with her boyfriend.
Qiqi watched her retreating figure, then opened another jelly and began to eat it in small bites with a spoon.
In the laboratory, Ji Jinnian was conducting experiments while keeping an eye on her younger sister's condition outside.
Seeing her senior talking to her, she handed her a talisman and raised an eyebrow.
My younger sister never gives away amulets casually; it seems my older sister is in trouble.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was sent by a waiter from the restaurant I added yesterday; it's the restaurant's security camera footage.
Ji Jinnian specifically found the surveillance footage from the restroom in the corridor, dragged it to the time when Qiqi had passed by, and then saw that when the waiter was leading Qiqi to the restroom, a group of people came out of the private room next door.
They were a group of people who didn't look like they could stand the heat, and some of their faces made Ji Jinnian's pupils shrink.
He had seen those faces in wanted notices issued by the public security system; they were a group of criminals wanted globally.
Why are these people there?
They seemed to be talking about something, and one of them, with a thick beard, even looked sharply in Qiqi's direction.
Ji Jinnian's heart jumped into his throat, and he couldn't help but follow the bearded man's gaze.
It turned out that Qiqi, who was supposed to be in the corridor, had suddenly disappeared, along with a waiter.
Ji Jinnian's eyes widened suddenly. He panicked for a moment. Where was his sister?
Where did my sister go?
If his sister hadn't been sitting safely outside, he probably would have called the police by now.
Ji Jinnian patiently watched for a while longer, and saw that not long after the group with the bushy beard left, two more people came back.
After seeing nothing, I left completely.
After they left, two people suddenly appeared in the previously empty corridor.
It was Qiqi and the waiter who was holding her hand. Qiqi even looked in the direction the group of people had left.
Ji Jinnian immediately realized that the disappearance and reappearance just now must have been due to Qiqi's talisman.
However, if others see that the younger sister suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, they will definitely be suspicious, and then the younger sister's abilities will probably not be able to be hidden.
Thinking of this, Ji Jinnian frowned, deleted the surveillance footage, and typed rapidly on the screen with his slender fingers.
Has anyone viewed this surveillance footage?
The reply came quickly: "No more."
Ji Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief: "Delete all that surveillance footage. I don't want anyone else to see that day's footage."
After sending the message, a large sum of money was transferred.
The other party immediately replied with a beaming smile: 【Thank you, Second Young Master Ji. Don't worry, I will definitely delete the surveillance footage and ensure no one finds out.】
Ji Jinnian put down her phone, her feelings inexplicably complicated.
He glanced at the remaining experiments, his brow furrowed deeply; he was no longer in the right mood to continue.
Ji Jinnian simply composed himself and got up to walk towards Qiqi.
The little girl is struggling with the third level of the cake. This one seems to be a new flavor invented by Madam Ji. There's too much sugar in it, making it a bit too sweet. Qiqi is grimacing as she eats it.
Hearing footsteps, the little girl looked up, her lips still smeared with cream, and grinned at Ji Jinnian with a bright smile.
"Second brother, you've finished your experiment!" After saying that, she noticed that Ji Jinnian's complexion was off, and immediately exclaimed "Huh?" and asked with concern, "Second brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?"
"I feel a little unwell, but it's nothing."
Upon hearing that her second brother was not feeling well, Qiqi immediately grabbed his hand to check on him with concern.
Ji Jinnian looked at her tenderly. The group of people his sister encountered yesterday must have had designs on him. His sister was worried because she could tell, so she came here to watch over him.
No wonder her parents love her so much, and even Xiao Liu, who has autism, is very dependent on her.
Such a warm-hearted girl, everyone would like her, right?
Ji Jinnian's heart softened, and she smiled as she changed the subject, "It's really nothing. I was probably just a little dizzy from working so hard on the experiment."
He paused, then added, "It just so happens that the experiment I'm about to do is related to Qiqi's medicine. Would Qiqi like to come and take a look at it for her second brother?"
