"Uncle Zhang, give me a bowl of wontons. The rest is the same.”
A weak voice sounded in the small shop.
"Alright, a bowl of wontons will be ready soon.”
The boss replied in a loud voice, then picked up twelve wontons from the chopping board and put them into the pot.
He turned around and saw the person who spoke. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and two large dark circles hung on his face. He silently took three wontons and put them into the pot.
After he finished, he turned to the young man who seemed to have stayed up all night to cultivate to the dacheng stage and asked.
"Chen 'er, did you have a nightmare again?”
"Yes, I had nightmares again. It was the same nightmare that I had for a month. I tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep.”
The boss's words seemed to have opened up Chen Ziyan's chatterbox.
Strangely enough, he had the same nightmare for a month straight. He always dreamed that he was standing in a deep starry sky.
This should have been a beautiful scene, but it was not the case.
He looked at the endless planets in the starry sky and could always feel a faint sense of disgust and rejection from those planets.
It was as if he did not belong to this starry sky. Those planets were constantly trying to kill him.
Every time Chen Ziyan came to this conclusion, he would laugh at his own delusions. After all, how could the planet have any ill feelings towards him? If that was the case, he would have died a long time ago.
Facing this elder who had watched him grow up, he could finally say all these things without worrying about being treated as a mental patient.
"You young people are under a lot of pressure. Go back and drink some white wine, or if it really doesn't work, find two sleeping pills and take them. I see that you've lost at least 20 pounds in this month.”
At this time, the wontons in the pot were almost ready. These things cooked quickly and would be ready in a moment. The boss turned his head and helped Chen Ziyan scoop the wontons while nagging.
"Okay, I'll go back and try."
Chen Ziyan's lips curled into a bitter smile. How could he not have tried these things before? They didn't work.
Other people's dreams were to become rich overnight. Only his dream was to be able to sleep soundly. God knew how he had survived this month.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. It's getting late.”
The boss put down the bowl and looked at the dark sky outside.
It was six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark in Yuan City.
"Got it."
The long period of insomnia had made Chen Ziyan's sense of taste somewhat ineffective. He needed a particularly strong smell to make him feel that he was not dreaming and was still awake.
Salt, sesame oil, chili oil, sesame oil, aged vinegar, and sugar. Chen Ziyan scooped a large spoonful of all the seasonings on the table and placed them into a bowl.
Mr. Zhang's facial muscles began to twitch. If he didn't know that Chen Ziyan had been eating like this for the past month, he would have thought that this guy was making some kind of deep-water bomb.
Chen Ziyan, whose eyelids were starting to twitch, didn't bother to tell Boss Zhang. He picked up the bowl and poured the wontons into his mouth.
Right now, he was only eating to maintain his life.
Under such circumstances, he finished the bowl of wontons in no time.
"Boss, I'm leaving."
Chen Ziyan put down his bowl and wiped his mouth with a tissue. After placing the money on the table, he slowly left the store.
"Hey, you…slow down."
Boss Zhang looked at Chen Ziyan, whose eyes were about to close, and said worriedly. However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Ziyan, who was eager to go home, rushed out.
"No matter what happens today, you can't stop me from having a good sleep!”
Chen Ziyan, who was walking on the road, thought of the new barrel of home-brewed white wine he had bought at home. His face revealed a look of success or failure.
He almost couldn't help but throw himself into the embrace of his blanket. He didn't notice that there was a person burning joss paper at the intersection. Another joss paper was blown in front of him by the wind.
Chen Ziyan, who had no time to care about anything else, didn't care too much and stepped on it.
"Warm blanket, I'm here."
Chen Ziyan thought excitedly as he walked. He was so excited that he almost shouted out loud.
Her bloodshot eyes widened slightly due to prolonged insomnia, making her look even more terrifying at night.
This time, he was prepared to play big. Two catties of white wine and two sleeping pills. If he still couldn't fall asleep, then there was really no justice.
Pa, pa, pa, pa.
The sound of a rubber ball being bounced on the street attracted his attention.
However, he didn't think too much about it. A month of nightmares had almost driven him crazy. Now, he only wanted to go home and be sealed by the quilt spirit willingly. He didn't have time to care about this and that.
"Soon, we're almost home."
Chen Ziyan had walked this road many times, so he naturally knew when he would reach home.
However, as he walked, he felt that something was wrong.
According to the usual management, he should have reached home by now, but why hadn't he seen his door yet?
Pa, pa, pa, pa.
Just as he was puzzled, the sound of the ball being patted rang out again, and it was much closer than the last time.
Chen Ziyan's face darkened when he heard the voice.
At this time, no matter how slow his reaction was, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
