After Li Wei hung up his second brother's call, he called Minister Hou.
"Minister, I'm sorry to bother you so late. There's something going on at home, and I might not be able to go to work in the next few days. Can you please be accommodating?"
Hou Guangyao over there said hesitantly: "Li Wei, it's a bit difficult for me to take such a leave of yours. You took almost two months of leave before. Why do you have to take another leave after finally coming back for just one day?"
"I'm really sorry. There is a patient at home who needs care, so the situation is special. I would like to ask the minister for your approval."
"You've disrupted my work schedule. Li Wei, I'm not unkind, but I can't guarantee your position if you take some time off and come back."
"I understand, Minister."
After asking for leave, Li Wei went to the room to see Qi Jingyi. But when she saw Qi Jingyi pouring out all the pills she bought, she glanced at Li Wei blankly: "Weiwei, can I not take these pills?"
"How can you not take it? Sister Qi didn't take the medicine proactively before. What's happening today?"
"Wei Wei, I don't want to be controlled by drugs anymore. I feel very uncomfortable."
Li Wei had never come into contact with a patient with depression before, so he didn't know how to comfort her.
"Sister Qi, can you sleep well if you don't eat?"
"I think there's no problem tonight." After all, she walked three kilometers today and then stayed in the wild for several hours, and she had already used up more than half of her energy.
"Then we won't take it." Li Wei helped Qi Jingyi slowly put away the pills.
She didn't have to go to work after asking for leave, but Qi Jingyi still got up early the next day to make breakfast for Li Wei and woke Li Wei up at the same time yesterday.
Li Wei looked at the simple breakfast in front of her and said with a smile: "Sister Qi is a guest, why do you want me to get up early every day to make these for me? Sister Qi should sleep more."
"I couldn't sleep. I woke up before five o'clock, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I stayed alone in the living room until dawn."
"Sister Qi..." Li Wei sighed, went over to hug Qi Jingyi, and choked with sobs: "Sister Qi, there is a devil living in your heart, let's defeat the devil together, okay?"
"I...I'm not sick."
"I know life is difficult, and I know Sister Qi has gone through a lot of pain, but every time she goes through it, she can rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Sister Qi, I hope you can also rise from the ashes. Tell me what difficulties you have, and we can work together to find a way to solve them, okay?"
Qi Jingyi looked at Li Wei with a dull look on her face, but there was no sparkle in her eyes. Qi Jingyi used to be a radiant and elegant woman, but now she is tortured by the inner disease and becomes like this, which makes Li Wei feel heartbroken.
"Aren't you going to work?"
"Well, I don't have to go for the next few days. I'll stay with Sister Qi, okay? Let's go out for a drive. We'll go shopping together, go to the movies, or go to the video game city. Although I'm not very good at it, we can go out together. Did you learn well?"
Although Qi Jingyi was not in good health, she was not confused and knew that Li Wei gave up his job to accompany her. She said apologetically: "Weiwei, you don't have to do these things for me. I really have nothing to do. You can go to work. I promise not to run around today."
Li Wei gently helped Qi Jingyi tidy up the messy hair around her ears and temples.
"It doesn't matter, Sister Qi. I happen to be on sick leave anyway. My second brother hasn't come back, so I'll stay with you. I can take you wherever you want to go. If you don't want to go anywhere, we can stay at home. Well, watching TV dramas is also a good thing. I have watched several Korean dramas recently and they are very good. I can recommend them to Sister Qi.”
Li Weixu kept mumbling, and Qi Jingyi finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Crying is also a way to vent, and Li Wei comforts her gently. Her shoulders bear all Qi Jingyi's tears.
Qi Jingyi seemed to be calmer after crying, and it didn't take long before she fell on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep. Li Wei went into the house and got a thin blanket and set it up for her. She stayed close by and didn't dare to go anywhere.
In the afternoon, when she went to the supermarket, she also asked Qi Jingyi to go with her. On the way back, Li Wei rented a horror movie and a Korean drama disc. After dinner, she and Qi Jingyi watched the horror movie together. Li Wei turned off the lights to create a perfect atmosphere.
When he saw the orgasm, Li Wei couldn't help but scream, and Qi Jingyi screamed too. The terrifying atmosphere made people shudder. Qi Jingyi hugged Li Wei tightly and kept asking Li Wei: "Are you still scared? Are you still scared?"
"It's okay." Li Wei smiled heartily.
The next day, Li Wei found a basketball from nowhere and went to a nearby park to play ball with Qi Jingyi. He happened to meet two children playing there. Li Wei shamelessly joined in and formed two large and two small groups. Two pairs confront each other. Li Wei's motor skills are well developed. Even after leaving school for so long, he can still play well in both volleyball and basketball. Qi Jingyi was timid at first and refused to play, but later the atmosphere inspired her to become one with them.
Li Wei saw that Qi Jingyi's depression was caused by being alone for too long. What she needed most was someone to accompany her.
Sweating all over, Qi Jingyi sniffed the smell on her clothes with some disgust, frowned and said, "I feel like my whole body stinks."
"But it's so refreshing. Sister Qi hasn't exercised like this for a long time. I'll make cold noodles for Sister Qi when I get back."
"Well, the cold noodles you make are always delicious. I think I should be able to eat a big bowl today."
Li smiled. In fact, life is not that difficult.
In the afternoon, the two of them stayed at home and watched Korean dramas, watching those bloody and painful scenes, which made them burst into tears. Under Li Wei's guidance in the past two days, Qi Jingyi seemed to have a glimmer of life again. Although she still refused to say anything to Li Wei, the emotions on her face finally became richer.
Qi Jingyi doesn't want to take medicine, and Li Wei is also helping her get rid of those medicines.
Another day later, Li Jianbo finally returned from the capital. As soon as he arrived home, he saw Li Wei and his aunt swimming in the swimming pool behind.
Qi Jingyi brought a lifebuoy, and Li Wei was teaching her the correct posture of freestyle swimming.
Li Jianbo stood by the window on the second floor and saw this scene. He secretly thought that since Weiwei was there, there was nothing to worry about.
"Second brother is back!" Li Wei waved to the man on the shore.
Li Jianbo smiled brightly at her.
"When you were cleaning the pond, I said you wanted to raise fish. It seems that you did raise two mermaids today."
Qi Jingyi turned to Li Wei and said, "Listen to how sweet this brat's mouth is."
