Si Yiyan had no idea when he fell asleep . However, when he was in a daze, her tender hands seemed to possess the power to get rid of his uneasiness and bring him comfort .
In his dream, he became a pious religious leader worshiping his religion .
The sounds of her sweet and tender voice had a tinge of melancholy, giving his soul a break .
Wen Xinya was right about him being unkind despite being an avid Buddhist .
He had a good night’s sleep .
Si Yiyan woke up to see the morning sun shining through the window and onto the room’s fragrant and vibrant Chinese roses .
The Buddhist sutra from his dream rang in his years .
“In the middle of lust, if one can recite the name of Buddha and Bodhisattva, or a classic verse of a Mahayana sutra…”
It was about getting rid of sins and calming one’s senses .
Si Yiyan was reminded of the auction on the cruise that they had attended three years ago, during which he harmed Anatoli out of anger . Later on, Wen Xinya read the sutra out to him and she said, “Like I said . Since Buddha can’t conquer you, I’ll conquer you . This has always been true!”
Si Yiyan subconsciously looked to the side, only to see that Wen Xinya was no longer around .
He stared at the empty bed, still stuck in a daze .
After a long while, he finally caught sight of the mobile phone beside his pillow .
The noises were coming from his mobile phone .
He grabbed his mobile phone and placed it beside his ear . His lips curled into a smile, pleasantly surprised by the fact that she had recited the sutra and saved a recording of it in his mobile phone .
He had no idea if he should feel touched by her thoughtful gesture or helpless about how lazy she was .
However, he understood that she had already found out about his insomnia .
When did I start having insomnia?
Si Yiyan could not remember it at all .
He could only remember that he was extremely busy after Wen Xinya left Russia and Plan A was carried out . He was so busy that he forgot to sleep . But when he wanted to sleep, he began to think about how badly he missed her . Hence, he began to develop insomnia .
By the time he realized that he had developed insomnia, he already had to rely on high-concentration sleeping pills to sleep .
The long-term lack of sleep made him feel extremely fatigued . In order to settle the matters in Russia as soon as possible, he began to rely on soft drugs like marijuana to keep him awake .
The marijuana stimulated his senses and put him in a vicious cycle which made his insomnia deteriorate .
Si Yiyan took a look at the time on the clock to see that it was already ten in the morning .
It was rare for him to get so much sleep .
After washing up simply, Si Yiyan headed to the study where he grabbed a box of cigarettes, retrieved a yellow and old-looking cigarette and gave it a sniff .
He held onto the matchstick but did not light it up .
At this moment, his mobile phone began to ring . Si Yiyan grabbed it and answered the call . “Ninth Young Master, Professor Noel wants me to remind you that the side effects of the sleeping pills are very severe and that you should refrain from taking them . Professor Noel and Doctor Edward will be returning to China tomorrow . ”
Professor Noel was a psychological expert while Doctor Edward was a renowned psychiatrist . They were the ones who treated Si Yiyan’s insomnia back then .
Si Yiyan said with a slight frown, “There’s no need for that . ”
Gu Yuehan advised . “Ninth Young Master, your insomnia needs to be treated as soon as possible . If treatment is delayed, the results would be dire . Did you forget…”
Gu Yuehan paused in his speech .
Si Yiya looked aloof and uninterested, though his emotions showed in his eyes .
He knew that Gu Yuehan was referring to the severe migraine that he suffered because of his insomnia .
Gu Yuehan said in a mellower tone, “You can’t possibly keep relying on drugs and pills to help you sleep . Those things are bad for you and your central nervous system is beginning to develop resistance towards them . You can at most get half an hour of sleep with these drugs and your health will be damaged if you increase the dosage . Besides… you can’t keep relying on soft drugs to keep yourself awake because you’ll become dependent on them . ”
Insomnia was a disease that ran in Si Yiyan’s family where almost every man suffered from, though the severity varied . Si Yiyan’s condition was relatively severe . He was the only one who knew how truly terrifying it was . Insomnia had the ability to ruin his willpower and erode his hopes for living .
Si Yiyan stared at the cigarette in his hand before crushing it, causing the ashes to scatter all over the ground . “Gu Yuehan, this time, I can overcome it . ”
Yes, I definitely can!
Because, I will not be battling insomnia alone . There will be someone by my side to ensure that I get a good night’s sleep .
He no longer had to rely on sleeping pills or soft drugs to numb his senses to stay in the best mental state .
Gu Yuehan said apprehensively, “Ninth Young Master, you…”
Si Yiyan interrupted . “I slept for eight hours last night . ”
Gu Yuehan was shocked speechless, though he felt that it was understandable .
It must be because of Sis-in-law!
No one has that power except Sis-in-law .
Si Yiyan repeated firmly, “This time, I can overcome it . ”
He then ended the call .
All of his buddies knew about his insomnia because he had once gone mental because of it .
However, it wouldn’t happen again this time .
The door of the study was pushed open and Mrs . Tan entered smilingly with an appetizing American breakfast .
Si Yiyan asked, “When did Madam leave?”
He had slept so soundly that he had no idea when she left .
Mrs . Tan smiled and answered, “She left at nine something in the morning . ”
Si Yiyan nodded .
Mrs . Tan placed the food on the glass desk . “Madam said that you’re suffering from insomnia, so she made you some mulberry honey which helps with nourishing your kidney and brain . It also soothes your nerves . ”
Mulberry honey was both delicious and nutritious, though it had a complicated recipe . Wen Xinya woke up bright early in the morning to make it .
Si Yiyan shifted his gaze onto the glass of black liquid beside the cup as his heart melted .
He picked it up and took a sip to realize that it was sweet and pleasant tasting .
