I have suffered from insomnia for ten years and have tried all treatments to no avail.
Until the new graduate student showed up in the lab.
He is 22 years old, eight years younger than me, and is my student's roommate. On the first day we met, he asked me: "Teacher, didn't you sleep well last night?"
I thought it was a courtesy.
Until I found out——
Only by his side can I fall asleep.
Deep sleep soared from 5% to 28%, a medical miracle and the biggest paradox of my career.
I roped him into the research group, euphemistically calling it "Research on Interpersonal Rhythm Synchrony."
He agreed. So refreshing. It was so refreshing that it made me suspicious.
Until one day at three o'clock in the morning, I bumped into him in the data computer room.
He was checking old files from fifteen years ago, and my mentor's name was clearly displayed on the screen.
I asked him what he was doing.
He said: "Find the truth about my mother's suicide."
I asked him why he approached me.
He looked at me, his eyes were dark, hiding something I couldn't understand:
"Teacher Lin, guess what."
Later I found out——
He had a crush on me for seven years.
He used my photo to make the heroine of the game.
He entered this laboratory partly for revenge and partly for me.
Later, my future was threatened by my tutor, I was reported by my senior sister for violations, and I was involved in an academic case fifteen years ago.
And he stood beside me and said:
"Data doesn't lie. Lin Zhao, trust me."
That night, I fell asleep next to him again.
When I woke up, he held my hand.
It was exactly three months since my first heartbeat.
