Chapter 1041
Chapter 1041: Chapter 1024 Nightmare Chapter 1041: Chapter 1024 Nightmare Actually, Tang Yuxin had always had poor sleep, which might have something to do with her job.
Even when she was asleep, she was always partly alert, making her sleep very light.
The slightest noise could easily wake her up.
After all, her time was tight and precious; sometimes, even a minute or a second could mean the difference between life and death.
But since coming here, every day they kept walking and playing, which allowed her to fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and she would sleep until dawn.
Sleeping well every night also improved her spirits significantly.
She seemed much more vibrant and spirited.
Gu Ning was just about to reach out and touch her forehead, when he looked at his hand and thought better of it.
He hadn’t washed his hands yet, and if Tang Yuxin knew he touched her face with hands still smelling of fish, she might leap up and insist on using disinfectant to wash her face, nearly scrubbing her skin off in the process.
Gu Ning chuckled softly, then walked into the bathroom.
When he came back out, Tang Yuxin was still asleep, sleeping peacefully and undisturbed.
Gu Ning pulled over the comforter and took his notebook from the side, placing it on his lap.
He took the opportunity to get some work done, to avoid being clueless about company matters when they got back.
What he didn’t realize was that Tang Yuxin’s brows were tightly furrowed at this moment, nor did he know what she was dreaming about.

Her hand tightly clutched the corner of the comforter, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead, soaking the clothes she was wearing.
With a gasp, she sat up, sweat beading on her forehead.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Ning came over, placed his hand on her shoulder, and then reached out to touch her forehead, only to find it covered in cold sweat.
Was it a nightmare, or what?
“It’s nothing,” Tang Yuxin pulled over Gu Ning’s pajama top to wipe the cold sweat off her face.
“I just had a bad dream.”
“It’s alright,” Gu Ning comforted her with a hug, then let her lie back down.
“It’s just a nightmare, go back to sleep and it will be fine.”
Tang Yuxin pulled up the comforter, covering herself, and turned over, grabbing a small piece of Gu Ning’s clothing.
“I’m going to sleep,” she said, closing her eyes and tightly clutching the corner of Gu Ning’s clothes, continuing to sleep as if there was nothing wrong, just an ordinary nightmare.
But whether it was just a nightmare or not, only she knew.
When dawn broke the next day and Gu Ning was still asleep, Tang Yuxin was the first to get up.
It was the earliest she had risen in the past few days.
Usually, it was Gu Ning who got up first and then called her, but today Tang Yuxin was very diligent and got up very early, while there was still more than an hour until daylight.
Why so early today, Gu Ning thought as he sat up and checked the time on his watch.
It was around four o’clock.
Could it be that she couldn’t sleep?
“I can’t sleep,” Tang Yuxin said, sitting at the table.
“I want to go collect seashells early.
I wonder if going earlier today might mean finding even prettier shells.”
Alright, Gu Ning didn’t say anything more to her.
He got dressed and then continued to take Tang Yuxin to the beach to collect seashells.
During the past few days, they had always encountered several groups of people who were also picking seashells there, some of whom arrived much earlier than they did.
So Tang Yuxin always wondered if it was because some people arrived earlier that the beautiful seashells had already been picked by others.
Would today reveal if that was the case?
When they arrived, the sea was receding with the tide, leaving only the two of them on the beach where there were indeed many seashells left behind, including some large and very beautiful ones.
Tang Yuxin picked up a very large seashell, delightedly placing it in her basket.
It seemed to be true, “the early bird catches the worm.” The beautiful shells really were waiting for the early risers to collect them.
As the water retreated in waves, the retreating sea left behind many beautiful seashells, all of which Tang Yuxin picked up.
In no time at all, the beautiful, large ones were all picked clean by her.
When they had almost finished picking, several people came over, each carrying a bamboo basket on their back, and inside the baskets, one could see there were quite a few seashells.
These people were all clam diggers, coming over to collect seashells to sell, their finds would either be sold to tourists or to craft processors, earning them a fair wage.
Indeed, one must wake up early, as the early risers are the ones who can collect the beautiful shells.
Initially, Tang Yuxin felt her picking was quite slow, but with these few people arriving, the beach’s most beautiful shells were almost all gone.
What remained were the same ones she had been collecting these past days, not too big, not too small, fun to look at and play with, but lacking significant aesthetic value.
Unlike when she first arrived, she had even found a very large conch, which could make a beautiful handicraft.

It seemed that if she wanted to collect bigger and more beautiful seashells in the future, she would have to come earlier and could not afford to sleep in anymore.
After picking for a while, the two of them were lucky to have brought a large box today, almost filling a very large box.
Only when the box could fit no more did they start heading back to where they were staying.
Once home, Tang Yuxin carefully washed the large conch, admiring its beauty and ornamental value.
“Will this get damaged during transportation?”
Tang Yuxin was worried.
She hadn’t been concerned about the smaller ones before since they couldn’t break much, but this large one, which she handled with such care, could easily be damaged if not packaged properly for shipping.
After a few rough tumbles during transportation, it was quite possible that it would no longer retain its original shape.
Would it still be a conch when they saw it or just a pile of fragments upon arrival?
“Don’t worry,” Gu Ning took the conch from Tang Yuxin’s hand, “you don’t need to worry, I will have someone specially transport this back for you.
It won’t break.”
Although it would indeed be somewhat extravagant to find someone specifically to transport this item, it’s hard to put a price on a prized possession, and money is hard to exchange for something Tang Yuxin truly liked.
