As soon as the group arrived at the brick factory, someone set off a string of firecrackers at the gate.

Lin Qingyu didn't know how big it was, but it felt like it had been sitting there for a long time and had been making noise the whole time.

She immediately covered Gu Jue's ears, and before she could even look away, the roaring sound in her ears had decreased significantly.

It was Gu Shi! Gu Shi also covered her ears.

This is how a family should be, except that Gu Jue is too young to cover Gu Shi's ears or her own.

She just chuckled, as if she really enjoyed the noise.

Her two little feet kept wiggling back and forth, and with the two little tufts on her head, she was an absolutely adorable child.

"Oh dear! Is it because you think we're too noisy?"

The firecrackers had stopped sometime earlier, and Lin Qingyu only saw a somewhat familiar-looking person running over, who immediately spoke to Gu Shi.

People from ordinary brick factories wouldn't act this way towards Gu Shi, so this person's identity is easy to guess.

"Alright, you're disturbing Qingyu. Go to your office first, I'll be there in a bit!"

Lin Qingyu thought he would say that he was disturbing Gu Jue, but she didn't expect him to say that directly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Moreover, Gu Shi didn't intend to let the two of them talk, so he simply ignored the person and drove his car to the brick factory dormitory.

A small wooden cabin was temporarily built there, right next to the dormitory, which was both independent and safe.

"We've arrived. We'll stay here for now."

Gu Shi walked up the steps and introduced the temporary wooden house to Lin Qingyu.

This wooden house is completely out of place with its surroundings.

Gu Shi stood at the door, looking like a hunter from the mountains who had moved his home here.

Because it was built temporarily, the wooden house wasn't very big, with only two rooms.

After the group went inside, Gu Shi explained, "We'll just stay here temporarily and make plans later."

He pointed to the small house behind him, "We'll live here, and Mom and Aunt Zhang will live in the dormitory next door."

Gu Shi didn't mention Lin Dajun, and Lin Qingyu didn't pay much attention either. She just asked Li Xiuhua with concern how she was doing there.

The group settled down at the brick factory, even though it was far from the city center and the machines were quite noisy.

However, at night, just like in Pear Blossom Village, you can see a sky full of stars.

On the second night after being discharged from the hospital, Lin Qingyu sat under the eaves of the cabin, looking at the stars in the sky, lost in thought.

Gu Shi walked over, carrying a bowl of soup, and patted Lin Qingyu on the shoulder.

"Qingyu, drink this. Xiaobao made it for you!"

Lin Qingyu turned her head and glanced at the contents of the bowl. The contents looked dark and unappetizing, and she didn't want to drink it.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu didn't move, Gu Shi squatted down so that he could look Lin Qingyu in the eye.

"Be a good girl! This isn't bad. If you drink this, you'll feel better!"

Although Lin Qingyu seemed fine these past two days, speaking and acting as usual, Gu Shi knew that Lin Qingyu had changed.

She often stares at one spot like this, and then she can't hear what others are saying.

Just like now, Lin Qingyu didn't hear what Gu Shi said.

After shaking her head, Lin Qingyu stared at the stars in the sky, completely unaware of what Gu Shi was saying beside her.

Having no other choice, Gu Shi repeated what he had just said, and gave Lin Qingyu a nudge.

"Little Yu'er, listen to me, this is a bowl of soup, not Chinese medicine. Drinking it will make you feel better."

Gu Shi approached Lin Qingyu to speak, and she seemed to wake from a dream, glancing again at the bowl of dark, unappetizing stuff.

She then took it, pinched her nose, and drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps this dish really wasn't bad, but Lin Qingyu didn't know, nor was she interested in knowing.

After finishing her soup, Lin Qingyu picked up her bowl and got up from the recliner, with Gu Shi quickly helping her.

"What's wrong, Qingyu?"

Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Shi and smiled slightly, saying, "I'll go wash the dishes!"

After saying that, he went into the cabin and headed straight for the kitchen.

For the past two days, Lin Qingyu has been in this state. When she is in a daze, she is perfectly normal, but when she is lost in thought, she needs to be told several times before she hears it.

Although Gu Shi really wanted to go out, and there were still people to be taken care of, how could he leave Lin Qingyu alone in this situation?

Fortunately, on the fourth day, Lin Qingyu suddenly recovered. She stopped being in a daze and even took the initiative to care for Gu Shi.

"Gu Shi! Get me that piece of cloth, the black one. I'll make you a dress too."

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment. He had just gotten up when he heard Lin Qingyu's voice.

Although he was told to get something from the cabinet next to the window, Gu Shi acted faster than he thought, going straight to get it and handing it to Lin Qingyu.

"You've worked hard! I brought the food back from the cafeteria, you can start eating now!"

Lin Qingyu's sudden return to normalcy left Gu Shi somewhat unaccustomed. He could only nod and mechanically walk to the small table.

Gu Shi would never sleep so soundly normally. He was just too tired these past two days and finally got a good night's sleep. He didn't expect Lin Qingyu to be so diligent.

Li Xiuhua was stunned when she entered the door. She remembered that she had called Lin Qingyu several times before she heard her yesterday.

How did it change so much in the blink of an eye?

Even at lunchtime, Lin Qingyu continued to show concern for Gu Shi.

"Gu Shi, don't you still have a lot of things to do? Go ahead! I'm going to read some books this afternoon, so don't bother me here!"

She had a big smile on her face, and there was no sign of her being forced.

Before Gu Shi could speak, Gu Jue couldn't hold back any longer: "Mother! Me, me!"

Gu Jue can say more and more words, but when she gets anxious, she really can't say them.

"Little girl, Mommy is right here. If you don't cry, you won't bother me. Just stay still!"

She reached out and pinched Gu Jue's little face; it was plump and especially cute.

Gu Jue smiled, as if he understood what Lin Qingyu was saying, showing good comprehension skills!

Gu Shi was overjoyed to see that Lin Qingyu had finally returned to normal.

"I'm fine, I don't need to go out. I'll go when the factory can't do without me!"

He was about to serve Lin Qingyu some rice when she naturally handed him the bowl, saying, "That's fine! Just give me a small portion, I won't be able to finish it!"

When Li Xiuhua saw this, a genuine smile finally appeared on her face.

However, from that time on, no one ever mentioned that matter to Lin Qingyu again.

Another day passed, and Gu Shi felt that Lin Qingyu was completely alright before he went out with peace of mind.

We headed straight for the police station, and without even stopping after getting out of the car, we quickly saw the two men.

"Mr. Gu, you must have seen the statements of these two people, right? The higher-ups' intention is to treat them as mentally ill patients..."

Gu Shi had certainly seen it, and he knew that what the two people said was true.
