Si Yiyan didn't know when he fell asleep. In his hazy consciousness, her soft hands seemed to have the magic to soothe his soul. The restless and uneasy things in the depths of his soul were soothed by her bit by bit, and finally calmed down.
In his dream, he became a devout believer, kneeling down to worship his faith.
Listening to that gentle and sweet voice, chanting the obscure Sanskrit sounds, and reciting Buddhist scriptures, the soul will be liberated from then on.
Wen Xinya said that he was an Asura who liked to listen to Buddhist teachings and had good thoughts but no good heart. In fact, she was not wrong at all.
A good night's sleep.
When Si Yiyan woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, with a scorching temperature. A delicate breeze blew against the window, and the roses in the room bloomed unrestrainedly and beautifully, with a fragrant scent.
The Buddhist chanting that I heard in my dream last night echoed in my ears.
"When one is about to fall into the lower realms, or when one reaches the gate, if all living beings can recite the name of a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, or a sentence or verse from a Mahayana Sutra..."
This is the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", which can eliminate karma, remove sins, and calm the mind.
Si Yiyan thought of the cruise auction in Nantong three years ago, when he angrily hurt Anatoly. Afterwards, she also read this scripture. Her words at that time still rang in her ears: "I said, if Buddha doesn't save you, I will save you. This sentence has never been empty words!"
Si Yiyan subconsciously looked around, but Wen Xinya was gone.
He looked at the empty half of the bed, his mind still a little confused.
It took me a while to see the phone next to my pillow.
This sound came from the cell phone.
He picked up the phone and gently put it to his ear. A smile appeared on his lips. She actually recited the scriptures of "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" and then recorded it and saved it in his phone.
I really don't know whether I should be touched by her kindness or feel helpless about her laziness.
However, he understood her feelings, and she knew that he suffered from insomnia.
When did you start suffering from insomnia
Si Yiyan couldn't remember clearly.
He only remembered that after Xinya left Country E, Plan A began to be implemented. He was so busy that he forgot to sleep. Later, when he wanted to sleep, his gnawing longing for her began to erode his brain and will, and he began to suffer from insomnia.
By the time he realized he was suffering from insomnia, he had to rely on specially made powerful sleeping pills to fall asleep.
Unable to sleep for a long time made him extremely mentally exhausted. In order to settle the affairs of Country E as soon as possible, he began to rely on cigarettes made from specially made soft marijuana drugs to stay awake.
Marijuana eroded his nerves, sending him into a vicious cycle, and his insomnia became worse.
Si Yiyan glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.
It's rare that he could sleep so late.
After a quick wash, Si Yiyan went to the study, took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, pulled out an old, yellowed cigarette, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently.
His five fingers trembled slightly, and he took the match but failed to light it.
At this time, the phone rang. Si Yiyan picked up the phone and Gu Yuehan's voice rang from the other end: "Jiu Shao, Dr. Noel asked me to remind you that the special sleeping pills have serious side effects. You should try to reduce the dosage. Dr. Noel and Dr. Edward will rush to the capital of Country Z tomorrow."
Dr. Noel is a neurologist, and Dr. Ed is a famous psychologist. They were the ones who cured Jiu Shao when he suffered from insomnia.
Si Yiyan frowned slightly and said, "No need."
Gu Yuehan advised: "Jiu Shao, if your insomnia continues like this, it will only get worse and the consequences will be disastrous. Have you forgotten what happened in the beginning..."
Gu Yuehan paused.
Si Yiyan's expression was cold and indifferent, as if nothing happened, but his suddenly shrinking eye sockets revealed his emotions.
He knew that Gu Yuehan was referring to the time when he went crazy due to a splitting headache caused by insomnia.
Gu Yuehan slowed down his tone and said, "You can't always rely on drugs to help you sleep. Special sleeping pills don't have much effect on your central nervous system. If you take such drugs, even half an hour of sleep is a luxury. If you increase the dosage, it will damage your body. And... you can't always rely on soft drugs to stay awake. If you keep doing this, you will become dependent on them."
Insomnia is a hereditary disease in the Si family. Almost every male in the family has this disease, but the severity varies. Jiu Shao's condition is relatively serious. Only he knows how terrible this disease is. It can destroy a person's willpower neurologically and devour all his desire to survive.
Si Yiyan stared at the cigarette in his hand, then stretched out his hand and broke it into pieces, and the specially made tobacco leaves scattered messily on the ground: "Gu Yuehan, this time, I can overcome it."
Yes, it can be overcome!
Because this time, he is no longer the only one fighting against the terrible insomnia. When everyone else is awake, I am awake too. When everyone else is asleep, I am the only one awake. There is also someone accompanying him, staying up all night just to let him have a good night's sleep.
He does not need to rely on special strong sleeping pills to help him sleep, nor does he need to use soft drugs to numb his nerves to keep himself in the best condition.
Gu Yuehan naturally refused to believe it: "Jiu Shao you..."
Si Yiyan interrupted him and said, "I slept for eight hours last night."
Gu Yuehan was speechless for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable, but somehow, he felt it was natural.
It’s probably because of my sister-in-law!
No one has such magic except my sister-in-law.
Si Yiyan said it again, firmly and calmly: "This time, I can overcome it."
Then he hung up the phone.
His insomnia made all his brothers around him terrified and treated him as a formidable enemy, because he once went crazy because of insomnia.
But, that won’t happen this time.
The door of the study was pushed open, and Tan's mother walked in with a smile, carrying breakfast. The rich breakfast was mouth-watering.
Si Yiyan asked casually: "When did Madam leave?"
I slept so deeply last night that I didn't even notice when she left.
Tan's mother smiled and said, "She left around nine in the morning."
Si Yiyan nodded.
Tan's mother placed breakfast on the glass table in the study: "Madam said you have some insomnia, so she made you some mulberry honey paste to nourish your kidneys and brain, nourish your qi and calm your mind."
Mulberry honey paste is a very good recipe. It not only tastes good but also has high nutritional value. However, the preparation process is a bit complicated, and my wife got up early in the morning to work on it.
Si Yiyan's eyes fell on the cup of black and purple liquid placed next to breakfast, and his heart softened.
Si Yiyan picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted sweet and refreshing, quite good.
