Du Enan and Jiang Taoâs friendship level has reached 90 points, earning them the title of "Close Friend."
Additionally, theyâre also relatives by marriage.
Jiang Xue considers Du Enan her godmother, and once Du Enanâs baby is born, theyâll have to call Jiang Tao and Xu Li godfather and godmother.
The two families are now as close as can be, joking around freely with each other.
"By the way, Enan, are you still having insomnia? I see you often post on social media late at night."
As they chatted, the conversation turned to Du Enanâs long-standing issue with insomnia.
"Itâs a long-standing problem. Iâm used to it. When Iâm really exhausted, I just fall asleep."
Du Enan smiled wryly, knowing well the reasons for her insomnia.
After her husband died in the line of duty, she was in a state of deep sadness, depression, and anxiety for a long time.
Various negative emotions troubled her for over two months, and she nearly reached a breaking point due to an outbreak of depression.
During her hospitalization for depression, Du Enan accidentally discovered she was pregnant.
The little life in her belly helped her out of the overwhelming shadow that covered her life, aiding her in overcoming depression and being reborn.
Although she regained hope in life and no longer felt dejected, her old problem of insomnia didnât improve much.
Jiang Tao noticed her heavy eye bags and lack of energy, which is why he decided to inquire further.
Itâs appropriate to show some care for Du Enan, his relative by marriage.
Jiang Tao continued to ask, "Is there nothing the hospital can do for you?"
"The doctor said I need medication for my symptoms, but for the health of the baby, I can endure it a bit longer."
Du Enan gently touched her round belly, her face glowing with motherly love.
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the special task [A Parentâs Affection]!]
[Task Name]: A Parentâs Affection.
[Task Content]: Help Du Enan overcome her sleep disorder and improve her sleep quality.
[Task Reward]: 660,000 yuan, Constitution +5, Charm Value +3!
As Jiang Tao was about to say something, a system interface suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It showed a special task panel.
"A Parentâs Affection?"
"Special task!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the special task panel, Jiang Taoâs eyes lit up, and joy filled his heart!
Initially, he was just asking out of concern for Du Enanâs sleep quality and health.
But now, he had inadvertently triggered a special task, and upon completion, he could earn generous rewards.
With this, he just had to help!
Moreover, it was quite a simple task for him.
He just needed to spend 66 yuan to activate [Deep Sleep Mode] for Du Enan.
If once wasnât enough, he could do it twice, three times, or even four times.
This task was basically "free points" for Jiang Tao, with only "easy" difficulty!
Jiang Tao thought for a moment, then looked at Du Enan and said, "Enan, have you heard of hypnosis?"
"Iâve tried it, but it doesnât work for me."
Du Enan shook her head with a bittersweet smile.
With her resources, sheâs tried many methods to treat her insomnia, but none have worked effectively.
Jiang Tao laughed, "Heh, thatâs because those people donât have the skill. Want to try mine?"
"You? You can hypnotize people? Are you kidding me, Jiang Tao?"
Du Enan looked at Jiang Tao in surprise, full of disbelief.
Theyâve known each other for about one to two months.
While they hadnât fully divulged everything about themselves, they had a fair understanding of each otherâs basic information and character.
Otherwise, they wouldnât have become close friends.
The fact that Jiang Tao could hypnotize was indeed beyond what Du Enan had expected.
"Heh, itâs a skill I learned from my mentor. Even Xu Li doesnât know about it."
"And, well, Iâm still only at the theoretical stage, havenât practiced it yet, and donât know the exact effect."
As Jiang Tao spoke, he waved his fingers in front of Du Enan.
"So, you want me to be your guinea pig!"
Du Enan laughed at Jiang Taoâs words and gave him a playful glare.
"Trying wonât hurt, and I might be able to help you resolve your insomnia once and for all! Then letâs see how you thank me."
The confident smile on Jiang Taoâs face seemed a bit irrational to Du Enan.
About Jiang Taoâs late mentor, Old Sun, Du Enan had heard a lot from Xu Li.
In a sense, Old Sun had done a great favor for the Old Jiang Family too.
Thanks to Old Sun, the Old Jiang Family managed to get established and secure a foundation in Beijing.
Old Sunâs five houses and over two million in savings saved Jiang Tao and his parents decades of effort, allowing them to transition in society quickly.
Du Enan laughed, "If you can really cure my insomnia without needles or medicine, Iâll give you whatever you want. I just want a good nightâs sleep."
Jiang Tao laughed, "Alright, thereâs no time like the present. Letâs do it tonight. Xu Li and I will come to your place and sort it out."
"Are you serious?"
Seeing Jiang Taoâs serious face, Du Enan was a bit surprised.
She was initially just being polite and joking with Jiang Tao.
Even specialized hospitals are at a loss with her condition, not to mention Jiang Tao, whoâs more like an untrained quack.
Du Enan had always thought Jiang Tao was joking and didnât take it seriously.
