After I Became Demented, My Archrival Came Knocking

Bottom's point of view:

A boy half a year younger than him moved into Qian Qiyuan's home. The old man said he was the child of a friend.

A bastard son, but calling him a friend's child? Disgusting. And he was only half a year younger than Qian Qiyuan, which was even more disgusting.

But the kid probably didn't want to be a bastard either. Qian Qiyuan couldn't be bothered to pick on him, but there was no way he was going to be nice to him. He planned to ignore him completely.

But Qian Qiyuan didn't expect the bastard to set him up on his very first night in the house. Furious, he got into a fight with him. After that, the two spent a year at each other's throats.

A year later, Qian Qiyuan found out that he was the child his own mother had conceived in an affair, and that he had no blood relation to the old man at all. He was stunned.

He also realized he might have fallen for the old man's "friend's child," which left him even more stunned.

After thinking it over, Qian Qiyuan decided he couldn't do this. He had to run.

So he ran.

Top's point of view:

My name is Pei Zhengqing. My original name was Pei Guang.

I have a dream: to own a business empire. The name Pei Guang sounded unlucky, so I changed it later.

I have a nemesis. We spent a year at each other's throats. Then he left for various reasons, and I ran into him again years later. And he'd developed dementia?

We were the same age, weren't we? I'm still in my prime. How did he get dementia?

I took him to the doctor. The doctor said he was mentally ill and that I should humor him, so I followed the doctor's orders and decided to be a good person.

I wanted to be a good person, but he refused to act like one.

Not only did he have dementia, his memories would randomly reset to some day in the past.

On the first day, his memory reset to the day we met. He mocked me for wanting a business empire when my name was Pei Guang.

I was furious and wanted to beat him up, but after thinking it over, I held back. I had to be patient with an elderly person with dementia.

On the second day, his memory reset to the day he and I had agreed to hike up Mount Tai and fight at the summit.

So I went hiking on Mount Tai with him.

On the eighteenth day, he said he wanted to climb Mount Tai again.

I... Fine. I'd go with him. He had dementia, so I could let him have his way.

On the Nth day, he wanted to climb Mount Tai again.

I tried... I couldn't take it anymore. We went up Mount Tai every day. Who was he looking for up there?

Was he messing with me?

I never expected that after Qian Qiyuan developed dementia, I would be the one who suffered most. Even less did I expect to fall for him when he was acting like such a jerk.

Could that be right? Did he put a spell on me?

Not long afterward, his memory returned to normal, and he remembered everything. I thought he'd recovered, and we started dating. But our good times didn't last. His dementia returned, worse than before.

His memories started resetting at random again, and even began randomly blending together.

That morning, when I was about to kiss him, he thought I was taking eight hundred casualties to inflict a thousand on the enemy, and decided I was trying to disgust him. His memory had gone back to the years when we were at each other's throats.

I was out of options, so I told him, "So what if I kiss you?"

He got into a fight with me.

And so I ended up having several relationships with him, all by myself.

Sometimes he thought we were nemeses, and that I'd thrown myself into the relationship just to spite him.

Sometimes he thought we were nemeses who'd fallen in love, only to miss each other for years before reuniting.

Sometimes he thought we were biological brothers, carrying on a forbidden, immoral relationship.

Seriously, how many different plotlines has he been given?

Theme: Care for the elderly when they're ill, and enjoy a life of kindness
