Chapter 91 Ji Zi Shen Reveals Evil Power
Ji Yanyan had successfully completed his mission and could go back to his room to rest, but he still pouted and looked at Lin Zizhou with unwavering determination.
He still had many tricks up his sleeve. He had finally gotten a chance to shine as the villain, but he didn't expect his opponent to be so weak. How could a brat only know how to throw a tantrum?
Ji Yanyan wished she could shake Lin Zizhou awake and start over, but his father was sitting there watching her intently, and his brother was giving her all sorts of meaningful glances, so Ji Yanyan could only reluctantly return to her room.
When can we assign him another brat?
...
As the eldest brother in the family, Ji Zishen has always been sensible and obedient, at least that's what Lin Jinchao thinks.
With the adults in the family away, he took on the responsibility of entertaining them in the living room.
Lin Jinzhao didn't feel sorry for other people's children at all. He was focused on his own purpose and asked, "When is your father coming back? I originally wanted Zizhou to complete the mission, but the child is too disappointing. He actually fell down in the backyard."
He became more and more distressed as he spoke, his tone tinged with reproach: "The conditions here are terrible. There are so many pebbles in the backyard. Didn't your father clean them up? Wasn't he worried that you would slip and fall there?"
“It’s all cleaned up,” Ji Zishen said, pursing his lips with a sense of self-reproach. “If we had known that Uncle and Brother Zizhou were coming, we would have covered the whole backyard with carpets.”
These words were outrageous, and Lin Jinzhao blushed with embarrassment. He stammered, "That's not what I meant. I've spoiled Zizhou. He's a small child with delicate skin, and he's easy to hurt himself if he falls."
Ji Zishen pursed his lips, and when he looked up again, his eyes were red. He took small steps forward and said nervously, "Then let me check on Zizhou. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm old, and I'm not usually hurt when I fall. I just thought Zizhou was like me."
Even though Lin Jinchao was prejudiced, he felt an uncontrollable sense of guilt upon hearing these words.
Children shouldn't be dragged into conflicts between adults. Ji Zishen's behavior was like someone slapping him and pointing at his back, asking, "How could you bully a child!"
Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, Lin Jinzhao knew best how terrifying public opinion could be. With a strong survival instinct, he said, "Aren't you just a kid too? Falling down hurts too. How about this, I'll help you clear the pebbles in the backyard later."
Lin Zizhou timidly tucked his chin in and nodded slightly, looking at him expectantly. Lin Jinzhao had only meant to say something polite, but under Ji Zishen's gaze, he couldn't hold back any longer and could only reluctantly stand up and walk towards the backyard.
He didn't want to help Ji Zhi Qiu with the work, but when he arrived, he found it was even worse than he had expected.
The backyard was spotless, without a single pebble; his earlier complaints were completely unreasonable.
Lin Jinzhao stood quietly for a while, feeling utterly humiliated, then coughed and forced himself to return.
“The backyard is clean, I misunderstood,” he paused and added, “Zizhou can fall even on flat ground and cry so loudly. He has no manly strength at all and almost scared Yanyan.”
Ji Zishen didn't agree this time, but just blinked, looking innocent and kind. "No, Yan Yan has been taught very well by her father, she won't be scared at all."
Lin Jinzhao: "..."
He had already sensed that Ji Zishen was trying to put him down, but when he looked at Ji Zishen, who looked like a cute little boy, his doubts vanished instantly.
Ji Zishen didn't give him a chance to sort out his thoughts and ran into the kitchen. "We just found some supplies, including some very fresh peaches, Uncle. I'll bring them to you to eat."
Lin Jinzhao wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the word "fresh," his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
The theme is "survival on a desert island." The director is still cruel to them. Only Ji Zhi Qiu, because of his strong abilities and good luck, lives a very comfortable life. Lin Jin Zhao and his group have too small a territory and receive few airdropped supplies. They barely get enough vitamins by eating a few vegetables every day, and fruits are very scarce. They prioritize their own children.
Lin Jinzhao is a hot star, surrounded by admirers, with his assistants even kneeling to carry his shoes. He has never suffered such humiliation before. Just hearing the word "Tao" makes his mouth water uncontrollably.
He felt ashamed of himself, but at the same time he blamed Ji Zhi Qiu for it. If Ji Zhi Qiu hadn't taken away so much territory, his life wouldn't have been so miserable!
Just as Lin Jinzhao was about to feel resentful, the sound of something falling to the ground distracted him.
He instinctively took a few steps forward, wanting to see what had happened.
In the kitchen, Ji Zishen was standing on a high stool, his hands were wet, and his expression was blank and pitiful. He looked down at the basin of water that had fallen to the ground, and the water was still spreading far away.
Seemingly sensing his presence, Ji Zishen raised his head blankly, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace, and murmured softly, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I wanted to wash Taotao for you, but I didn't expect to be so clumsy. What will Dad do if he comes back and sees that I've flooded the kitchen!"
Ji Zishen loves cooking; the kitchen is his domain. He is exceptionally efficient at his work, which has sparked a great deal of discussion online. Lin Jinchao clearly knows his persona, but Ji Zishen's acting skills are so good that he not only successfully deceives Lin Jinchao but also makes Lin Jinchao abandon his rationality and let his emotions take over.
Lin Jinchao's heart suddenly raced.
He's been looking for an opportunity to put down Ji Zhi Qiu, and what could be better than that on a children's variety show!
The child didn't cause trouble on purpose, so Ji Zhi Qiu chose to scold him, but he gently comforted him and even helped clean up the mess. Every action showed the brilliance of humanity, and he didn't believe that the audience could be fooled by Ji Zhi Qiu.
Lin Jinzhao was overjoyed and no longer cared about why Ji Zishen had suddenly become clumsy. He quickly walked up to him.
He gently picked up Ji Zishen and placed him outside the kitchen.
He patted Ji Zishen's head and said, "It's okay, Uncle is here. Uncle will help Shen Shen clean up, so Shen Shen doesn't have to be afraid."
He added deliberately, "We don't have to worry about being scolded by Dad anymore."
Ji Zishen nodded as he wished, and Lin Jinzhao became even more smug, immersing himself in the false persona he had created for himself. He immediately picked up a broom and mop and worked very hard.
Ji Zishen has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and germaphobia. He has to thoroughly clean the kitchen every two days and only does it himself. Ji Zhiqi tries to help but is kicked out. This time, in order to deal with Lin Jinzhao, he made a great sacrifice and just stood aside, adding a few words intentionally or unintentionally.
"There's still water here. It's all because Shen Shen is too weak to lift such a heavy basin."
"Shen Shen is so silly. Why did you fill the container with so much water? It makes Uncle so tired from cleaning. Uncle, you won't be angry with me, will you?"
"Uncle, do you also think that Zizhou is better than me in every way?"
This was the first time Lin Jinzhao had experienced such hardship since becoming a top celebrity adored by millions. He was so exhausted that he was drenched in sweat, and his carefully crafted look was completely ruined.
In the end, he became agitated and wanted to try to get away with it, but Ji Zishen always managed to find his mistakes, subtly persuading him and forcing him to bite the bullet and clean up the mess.
When he vaguely sensed something was wrong and went to look at Ji Zishen, Ji Zishen looked innocent and naive, as if he was overthinking everything.
Lin Jinchao's legs were a little weak after he came out of the kitchen. He plopped down on the sofa, breathing rapidly.
Ji Zishen brought over a glass of water and stood obediently beside him. "Uncle, you've worked hard. Please have some water and rest for a bit."
Humans have a natural protective instinct towards their young. Lin Jinzhao was completely charmed and drank the water in one gulp, only to be burned and almost jump off the sofa.
Ji Zishen was so frightened by his actions that his eyes reddened. "I'm sorry, Uncle. I poured you hot water. I didn't know you were drinking it so fast. Are you alright? It's all Shen Shen's fault."
"..." What else could Lin Jinchao say? He could only blame himself for being too impatient. His eyes were filled with tears from the burn. He forced a smile and slurred as he comforted Ji Zishen.
Ji Zishen ran back to the kitchen, took out an ice cream from the refrigerator, and handed it to Lin Jinzhao.
Without thinking, Lin Jinzhao put it directly into his mouth.
Ji Zishen's smile deepened. "Uncle, are you feeling much better?"
Lin Jinzhao nodded heavily.
Ji Zishen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "After so many days, we only found one ice cream. Little Yan Yan loved it. I saw him drooling over the refrigerator yesterday. Now it's gone... It's okay. Uncle got burned, so he needs ice cream even more."
Lin Jinzhao was happily munching on her ice cream when she heard this, and she didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it.
He actually tried to take food from a three-year-old child.
He wouldn't normally even look at this kind of off-brand ice cream, but this episode is about wilderness survival, and the probability of finding ice cream in the airdropped supplies is extremely small. The ice cream hadn't melted and was still in its original shape, which shows how much this family cherished and valued it.
Now that he had eaten her, Lin Jinzhao thought about the scene of Ji Yanyan discovering it and had a terrible headache.
Ji Yanyan is just a little kid, not as sensible and considerate as Ji Zishen. If he sees that his beloved ice cream has been eaten by him, he will definitely cry and make a fuss.
He spoiled his son so much that he became unruly. Every time Lin Zizhou caused a scene, it was a huge commotion. Lin Jinzhao reaped what he sowed and was deeply impressed, thinking that Ji Yanyan must be the same way.
Normally, to avoid the child's nagging, he would simply buy a carload to return to him, but on a deserted island, he didn't have that ability.
Lin Jinzhao was extremely flustered. Holding his son, he stood up sheepishly. "It's getting late, we should go back for dinner. You three, don't wander off. Be good and wait for Daddy to come back."
Ji Zishen looked at him with her big, watery eyes, full of affection: "Uncle, please stay. I really like being with you."
Lin Jinzhao took out one hand and touched Ji Zishen's hair. "Uncle will come to see you another day."
As if a vicious dog was chasing him from behind, Lin Jinzhao kept walking forward without stopping, and stepped one foot out of the house.
The sun outside was shining brightly, and he couldn't open his eyes. The bright spots in front of him distracted him, and the knot in his mind suddenly loosened.
wrong.
He came today to complete his ultimate mission: to seize all of Ji Zhi Qiu's territory and leave him destitute. But what has he actually done?!
The son, who had always been the little tyrant of the family and had never suffered any grievances, was made to cry by a three-year-old child. He had been cleaning the kitchen for a long time, burned his mouth with hot water, and accidentally ate Ji Yanyan's ice cream.
Was he just really unlucky, or...?
He suddenly realized something, his eyes filled with disbelief. Adults always think that children are ignorant and need protection, so they are not easily deceived.
An answer was about to emerge, but Lin Jinzhao couldn't believe it. His mind was in chaos, and he subconsciously looked back.
Ji Zishen remained standing in the center of the living room, maintaining the posture of seeing him off. He was still that cute little boy with red lips, white teeth, and clear, innocent eyes, but one corner of his mouth was curved up, giving off an inexplicable evil vibe, though no one could pinpoint the reason, which only made people feel a chill down their spine.
Lin Jinzhao stood there, his thoughts becoming even more chaotic. To make matters worse, the bedroom door, which had always been tightly closed, was now slightly ajar.
Ji Yanyan and Ji Sicheng stood behind the door, only half of their faces showing. Their eyes were dark and unbearable, and they stared at him expressionlessly.
Under the scorching sun, Lin Jinchao suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and he couldn't help but shiver, taking a few steps back in fear.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that this door led to a demon's lair, and that the three innocent children inside were clearly little devils!
