The little girl's words were like a warm current, seeping into Huo Yusen's parched heart.
Over the years, many people have shown concern for his leg, but they are all just using the guise of caring for him to try and gain benefits from the Huo family.
Others, however, came with ulterior motives to find out about his situation and wanted to kill him!
But the little girl in front of him showed genuine concern for him.
She genuinely wanted to heal his leg.
Huo Yusen stared intently at the little girl in his arms, a look that made Ji Jinnian, who was standing to the side, very uncomfortable.
He couldn't resist reaching out, grabbing the little girl's arm, and pulling her out of Huo Yusen's arms.
"Let's go for acupuncture." He led her into the house.
The thirteen-year-old boy already possessed an incredibly long pair of legs, taking very large strides. Even Qiqi, who was jogging, could not keep up and was dragged along unsteadily.
"Second brother, slow down."
Ji Jinnian glanced back. The little girl wasn't even as tall as his leg. With her short legs, one step he took was enough for her to run three steps.
Ji Jinnian's lips twitched, but her tone remained icy: "Troublesome."
They complained about the trouble, but they still slowed down and took smaller steps.
Behind him, Huo Yusen rolled his wheelchair up and looked at Ji Jinnian's hand holding Qiqi's wrist, finding it extremely offensive.
I want to chop it up!
Huo Yusen rubbed his fingertips, forcibly suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.
Once inside the bedroom, Ji Jinnian released Qiqi's hand, picked up a chair, placed it by the bed, and sat down casually.
With one arm crossed over his chest, he touched the frame of his glasses with his fingers: "Let's begin."
Qiqi: ……
For some reason, her second brother's demeanor reminded her of someone.
Back when she was in her sect, she was fearless, but she was most afraid of that one person.
Qiqi hugged her little head, "Oh no, I can't think about it, I can't think about it!"
"Uncle Huo Fei, could you please carry Brother Jiu to the bed and take off his pants?"
Upon hearing that he was even required to take off his pants, Ji Jinnian's expression turned even colder: "You're not allowed to take them off!"
A roar startled Qiqi, making her tremble again.
She pouted, almost bursting into tears.
"What are you doing?" Huo Yusen was already lying in bed when he saw Qiqi was frightened, so he struggled to get off the bed to protect the little girl. "You scared Qiqi!"
Ji Jinnian hadn't expected the little girl to be so timid. Perhaps the trauma of being with a little brat from before was still lingering, which was why she was so afraid of him.
Seeing that Qiqi was about to cry, he had to soften his tone, but what came out was: "Don't cry, you cry all the time, it's so annoying!"
With a sudden thud, Qiqi was so frightened that her tears welled up and disappeared.
"Huo Fei, throw him out!"
Huo Yusen was furious. He yelled at Huo Fei and practically tumbled off the bed, then slid his wheelchair toward Qi Qi.
He pulled the little girl into his arms and gently comforted her, "Qiqi, don't be afraid, Brother Jiu is here."
Huo Fei strode over, grabbed Ji Jinnian, and dragged him outside.
"Let go! Let me go!" Ji Jinnian didn't expect Huo Yusen to actually take action and struggled desperately.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong his aura was, he was only a thirteen-year-old boy, how could he possibly break free from Huo Fei's grasp?
Qiqi wasn't really scared at first, but after Huo Yusen comforted her like that, she belatedly felt a surge of grievance.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but when she saw Huo Fei about to throw Ji Jinnian out, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Uncle Huo Fei, wait a moment."
Huo Fei paused, then released his grip.
Ji Jinnian straightened his disheveled clothes with a cold expression.
He looked up and saw the little girl's big, dark eyes staring at him. When they met eyes, she quickly looked away.
Seeing how frightened the little girl was, Huo Yusen narrowed his eyes.
They wanted to throw her out, but they also knew that the little girl cared a lot about her family.
He ground his fingers together fiercely, finally managing to suppress the evil thought in his heart.
When she spoke, her voice softened: "Qiqi, I can tell you seem quite afraid of Second Brother Ji. If he's here, you probably won't be able to concentrate on giving me acupuncture. Let him leave first."
Qiqi was indeed scared, mainly because she didn't want to be sliced into pieces; it would definitely hurt terribly.
"Second brother wants to learn." Qiqi's voice was soft and sweet, and she even stole a glance at Ji Jinnian while speaking.
That little face looks very clever, but also a bit silly, which is kind of cute.
Thinking about how young my younger sister is and how easily she takes adults' words seriously, I realized that I had indeed gone a bit too far before.
Thinking of this, a thoughtful look flashed in Ji Jinnian's eyes.
He adjusted his expression, softened his voice, and carefully considered his words before speaking with a blank face.
"Little sister, it was... Second brother's fault just now."
When Qiqi heard that her second brother had actually apologized to her, she stared in surprise.
Although I was still a little scared, I remembered what the dean had said: everyone makes mistakes, and those who make mistakes should be given a chance to correct them.
So she generously forgave her second brother: "It's okay, second brother. As long as, as long as you don't treat Qiqi like a little brat in the future."
Huo Yusen raised an eyebrow. "Little brat? What little brat?"
Unfortunately, no one was willing to explain it to him.
"Okay, I promise you."
Hearing that her second brother would no longer treat her like a little girl, Qiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning to Huo Yusen, she said, "Brother Xiao Jiu, let's begin the acupuncture."
"good."
Before getting into bed, Huo Yusen gave Ji Jinnian a warning look.
That look in his eyes was icy cold, like an arrow.
Ji Jinnian felt as if she had been stabbed.
Tsk, brat, his eyes are pretty sharp.
Huo Fei carried Huo Yusen back to bed and took off his pants.
Qiqi climbed onto the bed with her little bottom sticking out and took out her silver needle box.
She picked up a silver needle, ready to insert it, but then remembered that Ji Jinnian wanted to learn, so she turned to him and said, "Second brother, come sit a little closer."
She patted the spot next to the bed, gesturing for Ji Jinnian to sit there.
The closer you are, the clearer you can see.
Ji Jinnian sat down by the bed as instructed. Qi Qi pointed to the spot where she was about to insert the needle and said to him, "This is Yanglingquan, which belongs to..."
Qiqi carefully traced the meridians on Huo Yusen's legs, explaining in detail the acupuncture points she needed to insert and the reasons for inserting the needles.
Ji Jinnian listened attentively. He learned things very quickly and had a photographic memory; he could remember something after hearing it only once.
After all the needles were inserted, Qiqi rubbed her wrist wearily.
"Second brother, have you remembered everything?"
"I've got it." Ji Jinnian tapped his glasses frame with one finger, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The light frightened Qiqi, and she remembered the white mouse she had seen on the plate before.
She bit her lip: "Second brother, if you... if you remember this, could you... could you please stop cutting up the mice? Even though it's an experiment, the mice feel pain too, it's so pitiful."
