"Ring-ring—"
It was only when the third alarm at 12:30 rang that Zhou Yexin barely woke from her dream. She yawned and struggled to silence the piercing ringtone that had been vibrating beneath her pillow for ages.
Sunlight streamed in through the window. It was already noon.
What the hell?
She had actually slept for twelve whole hours... and she was still exhausted.
Zhou Yexin forced herself to perk up, hurriedly washed up, and set out. By the time she reached Dream Whisperer, it was nearly two o'clock... As she climbed the stairs, she vaguely sensed that something was off. The upstairs area seemed especially lively today.
"Little Gu Doctor, thank you... thank you..."
A middle-aged man in a suit looked deeply grateful as he firmly clasped Gu Shen's hand. "You're truly incredible... I haven't slept a wink for days... I've transferred ten thousand yuan as a thank-you fee. It's only a small token of my appreciation, so please, you must accept it."
Besides that gentleman, there were several other... customers in the second-floor cubicles.
Three or four of them lay sprawled out without making the slightest sound, while one or two slept in wild poses, snoring at the ceiling like rolling thunder.
Zhou Yexin stared in stunned disbelief, even suspecting that she had come to the wrong place.
What was going on?
"Make way, make way."
An urging voice came from behind her. A well-dressed older woman carrying a handbag and lifting her skirt hurried up the narrow stairs in high heels. The instant she saw Gu Shen, her face broke into a radiant smile.
She took a bright red scroll from her bag... then unfurled it with a flourish.
"Little Gu Doctor, this is the Silk Banner I ordered last night... It happened to arrive today." Jiang Wan
