Sleeper

Case 22: Qianqian

Age: 31

Occupation: Engineer

Sleep Difficulty: Four Stars

Background music: Only the Winds by Olafur Arnalds

The night was dark, the streets were silent and desolate, and the quiet and soft moonlight shone on the empty road.

Bai Zhe gently stuffed the small note in his hand into the crack of the door of Xiangxi's house.

A line of neat and beautiful handwriting on the note said: "I will come again tomorrow night, can you let me see you then?"

Afterwards, stepping on neither light nor heavy steps, Bai Yan came to the home of the next employer, Qian Qian.

Qian Qian was an engineer who left early and returned late. For some reason, he developed the habit of falling asleep only at dawn.

"Is that Bai Yan? Come in," Qian Qian said with a casual expression on his face, but his mouth was still polite.

"Mr. Qian, I know you're not sleepy and don't want to rest, but let me try. You lie down first and close your eyes, how about it?"

"Bai Yan, are you tired?" Qian Qian asked suddenly.

"What?" Bai Yan didn't react for a moment.

"I said, are you tired of living?"

"I," Bai Yan frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know." His hands slowly turned around on the CD player.

"Do you want to play a song?" Qian Qian leaned forward to find the phone, found it and tapped on the screen, "How about I listen to you?"

"it is good."

After a while, a lonely, heart-piercing voice sounded in the room.

"Treading through the lonely mountains of yesterday

You help the pavilion to play a youthful song

Thinking of the ups and downs of last night

You said that life is suffering in the world, and life cannot escape torture

The daily loneliness of the suffering life

I said that everything is fate and life is forced

It's better to cut meat and feed the eagle under the Bodhi tree

It's better to shave or become a monk and cut off the seven emotions

It's better not to meet than not to meet

It's better to die forever

It is not as good as the sunshine, the earth has no four seasons

I'd rather be with you. "

It's "Ji He Is Better" by Lao Fan next door.

At the first minute and 48 seconds of the song, Bai Yan couldn't help interrupting: "Mr. Qian, I don't like this song."

"Oh? Don't like it?"

"It's nice to listen to, but the lyrics...Mr. Qian, you'd better not listen to it."

Qian Qian said with a wry smile: "Which sentence? Doomed to die?"

Bai Yan gave a soft "hmm".

Qian Qian suddenly showed disdain: "What does it have to do with you? I committed suicide and not suicide, it seems that it has no effect on you." After speaking, he threw the phone away and finally lay down.

Soon, the restless melody was replaced by ethereal and melodious music.

"Only the Winds" by Olafur Arnaldez.

There is also a video of this song, Bai Yan has seen it, fine pieces of paper are flying all over the sky.

What was written on it was like the feelings he wanted to convey to Xiang Xi, Bai Yan thought so, and fell asleep next to the bed unknowingly.

Qian Qian turned over, got out of bed, and walked towards the kitchen.When he came back, he held a fruit knife in his hand and put it on Bai Yan's neck.

"You must be in pain too. Who in this world is not troubled by love? Once the knife is cut down, everything will be solved. Why do you still struggle unnecessarily?" Qian Qian said, carefully looking at the light sleeper under the knife, That delicate face seemed to be full of sadness, the eyeballs rolled slightly under the eyelids, and the lips were slightly pursed.

The music is played at the fourth minute and 29 seconds, like a gentle woman, and the last worrying look back.

Qian Qian suddenly turned the fruit knife in one direction, pointed it at himself, and thought for a while before grabbing the phone and leaving the room.

In the kitchen, a harsh and domineering female voice came from the other end of the phone: "What? You don't want to marry me now? How do you want me to tell my parents? It's already been negotiated, you can't be so selfish."

"We will not be happy together, I will die of depression."

"If you want to die, first get the marriage certificate for me, sign it, let you go, do whatever you like."

"I'll make it clear to my parents tomorrow on my side, and you can figure it out on your side."

"Qianqian, you bastard! My parents have a bad heart, how do you want me to speak? Are you still thinking about your daughter? Are you worthy of her? Let me tell you, you don't even have a piece of paper beside her. Worse than a dog!"

The phone hung up with a "beep", Qian Qian returned to the room again, and the light sleeper hadn't woken up yet.Maybe he is having a faint dream, in which there are flowers, grass, a home, and a young couple in the family, snuggling up under a big tree to enjoy the shade.

"Strawberries are delicious, take a bite."

"Don't eat it, in case it is poisonous, you eat it first."

"Okay, I'll eat first, and I'll give it to you after I finish."

He always had such a wonderful dream, and he didn't want to wake up.

Looking at Bai Yan's sleeping face at last, Qian Qian suddenly felt a burst of drowsiness and stepped into sleep.He also wants to have a sweet dream tonight, with him and her in the dream.
