Chapter 30 Kind-hearted Orange Head [Second Update]...
After realizing what had happened, Ji Yanyan immediately bristled, "Daddy's so mean! How could you call me a big turtle... What's a big turtle?"
Ji Zhi Qiu suppressed a laugh, "A big turtle is a tortoise."
Ji Yanyan's attention was diverted, and she tilted her head: "What does the turtle call?"
Seeing that Ji Yanyan couldn't find the point and was easily led astray, Ji Sicheng couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her, "Big turtle means you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yanyan's cheeks puffed up, and she put her hands on her hips, "Your dad can't do that! No animal makes that sound!"
Ji Zhi Qiu raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, "Think about it carefully, how come no animal makes that sound?"
Ji Yanyan thought about it seriously for a while, then turned into a little bitter gourd, "Daddy, don't lie to Yanyan anymore, no animal makes that sound."
Ji Zhi Qiu took a step forward, puffing out her chest with a rather proud look, "That's what I'll call you, Yan Yan, you big bastard, you big bad guy!"
Ji Yanyan: "..."
His lips were so pouty you could hang a sesame oil bottle on them. "Dad, you're not an animal."
"Humans evolved from animals. Haven't you seen those cartoons? Come here, Daddy will give you a lesson on human evolution."
How could a mere rebellious son possibly outwit his own father? He was completely fooled again and took a step forward, asking, "Dad, are humans really animals?"
"Of course, humans didn't suddenly appear in this world; they evolved naturally over millions of years. Have you ever heard of apes?"
Ji Yanyan tilted her head, her eyes darting around, "So, Yanyan too?"
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded without suspicion.
"Then I can imitate animal sounds too!" Ji Yanyan hummed twice, then shouted mischievously, "Daddy's bad, Daddy's a big bad turtle too!!"
Ji Zhi Qiu looked at her suddenly intelligent son in disbelief, pretended to be angry and snorted twice before rushing over to him.
The father and son were playing around on the sofa. Ji Yanyan was tickled and giggled. His way of retaliating was to secretly wipe his tears and snot on Ji Zhi Qiu's clothes.
Ji Sicheng, witnessing such a childish scene: "..."
He should have been annoyed, felt he was wasting his time and turned to leave, but his feet wouldn't budge.
Although he was a brand new account with top-notch features, he never wasted his energy on trivial matters and devoted all his energy to studying. However, a person's energy is ultimately limited, and he would get tired after studying for a long time.
He had been worried about this for a long time, but unexpectedly, he found the most efficient way to relax.
Watching Ji Zhi Qiu and the others play around, he felt as if he were soaking in warm water, very comfortable, and the formulas and recurring knowledge points that had been entrenched deep in his mind also quieted down.
In just ten minutes, he regained his energy and was able to get back into study mode.
Ji Sicheng interrupted them: "Dad, could you help me move the books into the study?"
“Of course.” Ji Zhi Qiu remembered the important matter, stopped teasing his youngest son, and got up and walked over.
Ji Yanyan's emotions came and went quickly; she had long forgotten what had just happened and ran over to help.
The group of three adults and two children made five or six trips back and forth before finally moving all the books into the study.
Ji Sicheng was about to begin his studies, so he politely asked Ji Zhiqi and the others to leave, his face clearly showing his ruthlessness and betrayal.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't pay much attention, after all, he was still counting on his son to live off his wife. Just as he was about to close the study door, Ji Si Cheng suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you two going to make a scene later?"
Ji Zhi Qiu paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Were we too loud and disturbed you?"
Ji Sicheng shook his head. "Please make a fuss again later."
"Consider it done for me."
Ji Zhi Qiu: ? ? ?
***
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Master Ji, who had been busy all day, finally returned home with his hair disheveled by the wind and his body exhausted.
Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't tease him.
Ji Zishen is even better at interpersonal relationships than him; he knows how to cultivate connections at a young age.
The class was electing a class monitor through democratic voting. In order to be elected, Ji Zishen actively participated in after-school activities, tried his best to make friends with every student, and won their favor.
Ji Zhi Qiu examined him carefully for a long time. Ji Zi Shen's tired face was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction, indicating that he had achieved considerable results.
He smiled, took out a fruit drink he had made earlier from the refrigerator, and handed it to Ji Zishen. "I won't be eating at home tonight. I'll order takeout."
Ji Zishen nodded.
After receiving approval from the family chef, Ji Zhiqi dared to call the others, but he suddenly fell silent as soon as he opened his mouth, frowned slightly, and gasped.
Seeing this, Ji Zishen asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Zhi Qiu shook her head. "It's probably because I'm overheated. I've been getting mouth ulcers for the past few days, and it hurts when I open my mouth wide."
"Then drink more water." A foolproof trick.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't take it to heart and instead asked Ji Yan Yan what she wanted to eat.
He ordered healthy and nutritious meals for his three children, but bought himself a plate of extremely spicy crayfish, so spicy that he almost suffocated.
He felt a slight sore throat before bed, but after hesitating for a while, he decided not to take any medicine and went straight to wash up and go to sleep.
****
The next day was still the weekend, but the whole family's biological clock was working well, and they still got up early for breakfast.
In the past, when Ji Zishen came out after washing up, he would see Ji Zhiqi busy in the kitchen, but this time the living room was empty.
He didn't think much of it. The kitchen prepared a simple breakfast, but even though the food was on the table, there was still no movement from the bedroom.
He vaguely sensed something was wrong. After hesitating for a long time, he still pushed open the bedroom door and tiptoed in.
Ji Yanyan's sleeping posture is hard to describe. Before going to sleep, she was still obediently curled up in Ji Zhi Qiu's arms. In the morning, she was like a little turtle lying on the corner of the bed, with her pajamas all pulled up above her knees. I don't know what sweet dream she was having. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and bit the corner of the quilt, giggling foolishly.
"..." Ji Zishen was silent for a few seconds, then took the small blanket next to him and covered him with it.
The other side of the bed was quiet; in the dim light, only the curve of the blanket and a wisp of black hair could be seen.
Ji Zishen walked around to the other side, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that Ji Zhiqi's eyes and brows were filled with pain in his sleep, and his face was flushed with an unnatural redness.
He had a bad feeling and placed the back of his hand on Ji Zhi Qiu's forehead.
Hmm...
The assessment is complete; it's about medium-rare.
...
Ji Zhi Qiu groggily opened his eyes and suddenly saw three small faces close to his face, which looked exactly like the meme of Tang Sanzang lying on the bed with his three disciples looking at him.
He stood there for a moment, wanting to ask what they were doing, but no sound came out; his throat burned with pain.
“You have a fever,” Ji Zishen handed over a glass of warm water. “Taking your medicine should make you feel better.”
Ji Zhi Qiu felt dizzy and weak all over. He tried twice before he could sit up. His throat hurt so much that he had difficulty swallowing.
After taking the medicine, he tried to get up after a while, but Ji Zishen simply reached out and pressed his shoulder, easily stopping him.
Meeting Ji Zhi Qiu's anxious gaze, Ji Zi Shen said to himself, "You want to get perfect attendance, right?"
Ji Zhi Qiu paused, looking at him with some surprise, before nodding after three or four seconds.
Ji Zishen wasn't acting on impulse; he appeared mature enough to have considered everything thoroughly. He grabbed the phone before Ji Zhiqi could do anything else, saying, "I'll take over the live stream."
Seeing the bewildered look on Ji Zhi Qiu's face, he said to himself, "Although I'm not very good at live streaming, I can definitely help you keep your perfect attendance record."
Ji Zhi Qiu and Ji Zi Shen exchanged a glance, then Ji Zhi Qiu forced a weak smile and went to rest.
Ji Zishen wants to be an adult, and the mark of an adult is self-reliance and the ability to shoulder responsibilities.
It's a pity he doesn't have that ability yet, but Ji Zhi Qiu gave him the opportunity to live the way he likes, so he has to repay that opportunity.
Although he didn't say it, he knew how much pressure Ji Zhi Qiu was under with three little money-devouring beasts in the family. They were a family, and this was not only to help Ji Zhi Qiu, but also for his own sake.
After making thorough preparations, Ji Zishen suppressed his tension, took a deep breath, and started the live stream.
Ji Zhi Qiu's live stream was incredibly engaging; as soon as the notification came in, her family members immediately opened the live stream.
But this time, the first thing I saw was no longer that familiar figure.
Why is that evil orange-headed guy so short now? He looks like he has three heads!
Before they could even ask a question, a child's innocent voice rang out in the live stream: "Uncles and aunties, Dad has a high fever, so I'll be doing the broadcast in his place today."
"My dad works very hard, and he's always trying to do his live streams. He just can't get up today. Could you please understand and not unfollow me? I'll try my best to do my live stream today too!"
Hearing this, the fans in the live stream were practically melting.
So cute! So cute! So cute! So cute!
[Don't worry, baby, your uncles and aunties won't laugh at you. They all love you very much! 10 fairy wands]
[I suddenly feel sorry for Evil Orange Head. He always seems so optimistic and knows how to have fun. He seems more alive and vibrant than I am, raising three kids. But he's actually under a lot of pressure, supporting the whole family all by himself. Fairy wand x100]
[Baby, how's your dad? Is it serious?]
“Dad has already taken his medicine and is asleep. I’ll check his temperature again when I get back. If his fever hasn’t gone down, I’ll take him to the hospital this afternoon.”
Ji Zishen had previously observed Ji Zhiqi's livestreaming style in detail. Following his habit, he thanked everyone for their gifts one by one until his mouth was dry.
Seeing how well-behaved and sensible he was, his family members were completely charmed. Some told him to go drink some water and rest, while others told him to rest for a while and not to thank them one by one, as everyone understood his intentions.
Ji Zishen was very serious. He wasn't doing his live streams just to get regular attendance; he had already planned everything for the future.
He took some change from his secret treasure trove, settled his two younger brothers in, and then went out with his eco-friendly bag: "Dad is sick, and I want to prepare some light meals for him."
Ji Zishen skillfully turned onto the nearby vegetable market, greeted the elderly vendors familiarly, and even bargained with them.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned. They thought that Ji Zishen would panic because his father was sick, and they were prepared to comfort him. They didn't expect him to be so independent and self-reliant, even able to buy groceries by himself.
Wow, that's amazing! I've lived here by myself for years and I'm still too embarrassed to haggle with people.
[That tiny figure gives me such a sense of security, I suddenly want to call out to my mom, lol]
Is this still Earth? There are such well-behaved and obedient children who can even buy groceries by themselves!
Wait a minute, can he cook too?!
"Little friend, what color burlap sack do you like?"
After buying groceries, Ji Zishen still took the time to interact with the comments section, but he only knew a limited number of words and it took him a while to understand what everyone meant.
"Thank you for your kind words, Auntie, but I don't like any color of burlap sack. I'm my father's son, so it's not convenient for me to visit your house."
"Yes, I really enjoy grocery shopping and cooking. If my aunts and uncles come to visit, I will treat them to a good time."
"The elderly people at the market take good care of me. Even if I don't buy anything, they will give me fruit."
"Bargaining is very simple. I'll tell you about it when we get back if your uncles and aunts want to hear it."
His innocent childish voice echoed in my ears, not only making people's noses bleed with cuteness, but also his pronunciation and phrasing were very standard. He even understood social etiquette and politeness. The family members in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it anymore and called him "Kind Orange Head" and even wanted to take care of him.
There was only one special person in the middle, who had the coolest special effects but spoke the gentlest words.
He only uttered three sentences from beginning to end.
[Yu Nian: Is he alright?]
[Yu Nian: How is your father?]
[Yu Nian: How's that evil orange head?]
To get attention and clearly express their meaning, they changed the way they addressed each other three times.
His message was drowned out by the barrage of comments, but eventually his family noticed it.
[Evil Orange Head is so lucky, he actually has such a caring top supporter.]
[!! I'm so cute I'm practically rolling around in bed! He can't resist the cuteness of the kind-hearted orange-haired guy and only cares about the evil orange-haired guy!]
Although it's not quite appropriate, it gave me a strong sense of déjà vu...
I understand. He really sounds like an honest husband who's away on a business trip but suddenly finds out his wife is sick and is frantic with worry.
[Add one, he's completely become part of the Orange Head family in my mind, but he's so anxious he's lost every single leaf from his head, lol emoji]
