I Met My Childhood Nemesis After Developing Narcolepsy

Goofy top vs. aloof bottom. (Childhood friends)

When Jiang Shangyu was two, he accidentally tumbled down from the second floor and hit his head. The brain damage later left him with a lingering condition: hypersomnia. He was always sleepy and could nod off anywhere, anytime.

His mother told him that her best friend had returned from abroad and brought along an older brother.

He had heard that he was a spoiled young master who did nothing all day. His name was Gu Linzhi.

That year, Jiang Shangyu was five, and Gu Linzhi was six.

Gu's mother said, "Little Jiangjiang is such a good boy. This is Gu Linzhi. He's a year older than you. From now on, you two will be great friends. Call him big brother."

Five-year-old Jiang Shangyu said coldly, "No..." (Thump. He fell over and fell asleep.)

Gu's mother: "..."

When they were ten.

With a teasing smile, Gu Linzhi looked at the boy who was a head shorter than him and said, "Call me big brother."

Jiang Shangyu: "Son."

Gu Linzhi: "Don't push your luck."

Jiang Shangyu coldly refused: "I don't drink. Also... grass." (Thump. He fell asleep again.)

Gu Linzhi caught him. "..." Youth is great. You can just drop and fall asleep.

When they grew up.

Jiang Shangyu got annoyed whenever he saw Gu Linzhi. At school, they were always rivals, constantly tying for first place. Even in running races, they tied for first.

Once, on an outing, his hypersomnia kicked in while he was climbing a mountain.

Gu Linzhi said beside him, "Go ahead and sleep. I'll carry you down the mountain."

Jiang Shangyu closed his eyes. This guy was annoying, but sometimes he was pretty reliable.

When they were eighteen.

Gu Linzhi worked up the courage to confess. "Jiang Shangyu! Listen carefully. I..."

Thump.

Jiang Shangyu pitched forward into his arms and fell asleep.

Gu Linzhi: "Damn it..."

Jiang Shangyu's hypersomnia kept getting worse. He thought, This can't go on. I need to find someone reliable to stay with me at all times. What if I fall asleep outside one day and get eaten by a wild animal without even knowing it?

So...

He said, "Gu Linzhi, I'll give you a chance. Either die, or date me."

Gu Linzhi: "???" Is this for real? How could I get so lucky? Every time I tried to confess, this guy fell asleep.

Later on.

Jiang Shangyu had just agreed to his request when his hypersomnia struck and he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, his back and waist were sore, and he had no idea what had happened the day before.

"Gu Linzhi!! Get out here and face your death!!!"
