At three in the morning, Shi Yuan woke up again.
It was the fifth time this week he had jolted awake from a nightmare.
The sleeping pills he'd been taking for ten years lay beside his pillow.
"Keep taking them and your liver will suffer."
Shi Yuan stared at the ceiling and took out his phone.
The link Jiang Shao had sent was still there.
[Try a sleep-aid livestream. Stop taking those damn pills]
Shi Yuan tapped it and entered a livestream.
Then that voice rang out.
"Good evening, welcome to Night Wanderer."
"Tonight, let's listen to the rain."
"Follow my rhythm and breathe slowly..."
Shi Yuan was completely captivated by the voice.
He closed his eyes.
The stone that had weighed on his chest for ten years shifted, just a little.
He fell asleep.
He slept until morning.
At seven, Shi Yuan headed out feeling refreshed.
In the elevator, he ran into the neighbor across the hall.
The other person wore a mask, revealing a pair of gentle eyes.
"Morning," they said.
Shi Yuan's hand froze in midair.
That voice...
"What's wrong?" the neighbor asked, puzzled.
Shi Yuan swallowed. "...Nothing. Morning."
The elevator doors closed.
In the mirror, Shi Yuan stared at the person beside him.
His heart was pounding like it might explode.
