Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 14 A new day

No matter how good the dream is, there will always be a time to wake up.

Shi Fei lay down again, picked up his cell phone and checked the time.

The time displayed on the phone was half past four.

It's half past four in the morning.

There were still a few unread messages on his phone. It was 9:40 in the evening, and his colleague Lao Zhang asked him about work.

In their line of work, it is normal to send messages to talk about work after work.

Because customers are all kinds of different.

A message after nine o'clock is not considered late, and Shi Fei also replied to the message at twelve o'clock.

Shi Fei casually replied to one message and threw his phone aside. He had to go to work at 8:30, so he always got up at 7:30.

There are still three hours left, and he can sleep a little longer.

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he sat up helplessly.

Can't sleep.

Similar situation to last night, couldn't sleep.

The difference was that in the early hours of last night, he was very sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep.

Today, I’m not sleepy at all!

Not only did I not feel sleepy, but I felt very energetic, and even had a long-lost feeling of refreshment.

He hadn't felt so refreshed in a long time.

In recent years, he has struggled to get up every time the alarm clock woke him up. Even if he woke up naturally on weekends, he did not feel refreshed, but felt more sleepy the more he slept.

He lay in bed for a while, his mind filled with the dream he had just had.

The more he thought about it, the less he could remember the details of his dream, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he got.

He simply stopped thinking about it and prepared to get up and go out for a walk to get some fresh air.

He checked the time. It was five-fifteen.

It was August and at this time, the sky was already beginning to get light.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he found his running shoes that he hadn't worn for a long time, put on a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, took his cell phone and keys, and went out.

He wants to do morning exercises!

For a young office worker, morning exercise is indeed a bit of a luxury.

His circle of friends all run at night, but no one does morning exercise.

For young people, it’s okay to go to bed at two or three in the morning!

Getting up at five or six in the morning is absolutely not an option!

Even if Ultraman calls, he can't disturb my morning sleep.

By the time he went downstairs, turned two corners and arrived at the entrance of the community, it was already half past five.

The sky seemed to be neither bright nor dark. The four large illuminated characters "Chunhua Community" at the entrance of the community had turned into "日十卜匚" over the years.

Outside the community gate, the streets were unusually deserted, with only sanitation workers in orange clothes cleaning the streets.

So, when a person wearing a windbreaker, a hat and sunglasses, holding a stack of information, is waiting at the door of Ice King Milk Tea and looking at it carefully.

It will undoubtedly attract other people's attention.

In August, the mornings can only be considered cool, not hot.

The windbreaker and hat are too exaggerated!
Aren't you hot?
Can you see with your sunglasses on?
You shouldn't be falling asleep, right?

Shi Fei had a lot of complaints in his heart!

The weirdo in sunglasses didn't notice Shi Fei, he just lowered his head and looked through the documents carefully. If he hadn't been squatting on the curb at the door of Ice King Milk Tea, he would have been very elegant.

He was not asleep, but was actually looking at something, and looking very seriously.

If a person can read a document at five in the morning, then most likely he has been reading it all night.

Staying up late and working overtime like this is probably due to the pressure of life!

Shi Fei had stayed up all night writing proposals before. He sighed and went for a run.

Shi Fei was a little uncomfortable because he hadn't run for a long time. He originally thought he could run five kilometers, but he was exhausted after running one kilometer.

Only then did he feel that he was not the same person he was a few years ago.

The rest of the way was walked back.

After he came back from his sweaty walk, he went to the Sun Ji Baozi Shop at the entrance of the community and ordered a bowl of soup and a basket of hot steamed dumplings. The steamed dumplings were served with chili oil and the delicious soup, which made Shi Fei feel refreshed.

In this old shop, he saw the strange man again.

It’s hard not to attract attention when wearing a windbreaker in August.

Especially since he was wearing sunglasses, he was unwilling to take them off even when drinking soup.

It's really strange!
But there are so many weird people in the world. Shi Fei took a look and continued to eat his breakfast.

When he got home and took a shower, it was just past seven forty, just in time for work.

I drove to the company at 8:20.

He arrived five minutes earlier than usual.

He arrived at his workstation and had just made a cup of tea when he saw Lao Liu rushing over.

Old Liu is a slightly balding man in his thirties, about the same age as Shi Fei.

"Wow! You came early today!" Old Liu couldn't help but say when he saw Shi Fei arrived first.

He usually arrives before Shi Fei.

Shi Fei said, "I got up early today."

Lao Liu thought for a moment and said, "You replied to my message at around 4 o'clock in the morning. You wouldn't have gotten up at that time, would you?"

"Correct!"

Old Liu gave a thumbs up and said admiringly: "He is a ruthless man!"

People who wake up early are more admired than those who go to bed late.

Shi Fei said: "I just went to bed early!"

Lao Liu took his phone and looked at it. He saw his message at around 9 o'clock and said, "I sent you a message yesterday, but you didn't reply. Were you asleep?"

"I was very sleepy yesterday and went to bed early." Shi Fei nodded.

Old Liu smacked his lips and said, "Your schedule is healthier than that of the kids in kindergarten!"

It’s been proven that waking up early makes you sleepy early.

In the afternoon, Shi Fei yawned repeatedly.

Finally it was six o'clock and he saw Lao Liu at the next workstation preparing to leave.

"Are you leaving now?" Shi Fei asked.

Their line of work is commercial design, and they serve a lot of clients, so overtime is the norm.

Ten o'clock is not too late, nine o'clock is just right, eight o'clock is not too much, and seven o'clock is not too late.

Lao Liu packed up his cup of tea with wolfberries and said, "I have a family gathering later. I was busy a while ago and worked until ten o'clock every day. It's rare that I have some free time recently."

"Some people work overtime and don't go home. Do they think they have no family?" he suddenly said.

After hearing this, Shi Fei laughed and scolded: "Get out of here, you bastard!"

After Old Liu left, Shi Fei yawned and worked until seven o'clock before he finished today's work.

He said hello to several other colleagues and went back.

I ate a bowl of noodles at the entrance of the community, went back home to wash up, and it was already past eight o'clock.

He was the only one in the empty house.

I am 33 years old. My parents are in my hometown. I have no wife or children. I am alone in this city.

Like a ghost in the city.

He's used to it.

I played with my phone for a while while lying on the bed and checked my circle of friends. I felt so sleepy that I threw the phone aside and went to sleep.

Will I meet Qingqing in this dream?

His consciousness was dizzy and he kept sinking, drifting around in the dark ocean.

Suddenly, he "woke up" again.

What you see before you is snow.

heavy snow!

The snow was falling heavily and the wind was as cold as a knife, making Shi Fei feel cold all of a sudden.

I dreamed of heavy snow in August. Is it because the air conditioner was set too low?
