I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

"For example, we go on adventures together in a dream, but when we wake up, we don't know who the other person is."

"Oh, if that's the case... maybe they were enemies in the dream, and even after waking up, we wouldn't know for sure."

"You guys..."

I felt like this incident had opened up their minds. But then I suddenly realized something.

"But since we all adventure and fight in dreams, why don't we also fall in love in dreams and then forget about it after waking up?"

Ah, I feel like I've vaguely heard this plot somewhere before.

"Oh my, even if it's a dream, this is too outrageous. You'd better wake up as soon as possible." Lin Quanchuan shook his head decisively.

"...Huh? Isn't this almost the same as what you said?"

"That's right, Shaji, it's better not to say such unrealistic things. Well, let's stop discussing this and move on to the next one..."

So my words were simply turned over like a picture.

"...Ah, alright."

Did I say something wrong again...

Even if I guess right, it seems meaningless.

I checked my phone by the bed and realized it was already two in the morning. Soon, the first rays of sunlight would awaken this sleeping city. But right now, I felt completely unsleepy.

"yawn..."

It would be great if humans could really live without sleep.

Having said that, reality is still something that is difficult to change.

I stretched out my left hand and scratched my already messy hair. Looking at the screen of my phone, I gradually felt my eyelids getting heavy.

But I always feel that if I close my eyes, things that I don’t want to recall will emerge.

Did those things really happen to me? I couldn’t help but wonder.

"..."

My eyelids grew heavier, and a vague darkness enveloped my vision.

If it really exists... then what kind of life do people who have experienced similar things as me live...

"...Well..."

The scene before my eyes was finally shrouded in darkness, and I, having forgotten everything, seemed to have fallen into a deep dream.

However....

The sleepiness that I had finally felt was instantly gone as I felt something hard hit my nose.

"Ah..."

Looking at your phone while lying down is indeed a bad habit.

I thought so while rubbing my nose.

Even if I guessed right in the first chapter, it would seem meaningless.

For some reason, I suddenly began to miss my life last year.

It would be better if the seat was a little further back like before, at least I could feel more at ease when daydreaming, and when I feel sleepy, I could prop up the side of my face and rest for a while without any worries.

However, not only has my position been promoted now... but I've also received surprisingly more attention from my teachers. Whether this is due to my position or my more positive attitude towards learning isn't something worth delving into.

All in all, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable when my mind was wandering in class, everything went pretty smoothly.

"If you really don't like it, you should explain it to Teacher Nan and give the position of vice-class monitor to someone else."

After saying this to himself who was daydreaming due to sleepiness, Lin Yi walked away with a large stack of exercise books.

"Well..."

As I looked at the fact that I had only collected two rows of homework, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

I almost forgot. For some reason, Lin Yi's treatment of me has changed dramatically. He'll basically just say a few words to me while we're handing out homework and then leave. There's no sense of conversation like before. He seems irritated... maybe because I'm so slow?

“But I really can’t sleep at night…”

No matter how sleepy I am, I suddenly feel extremely energetic as soon as I lie down on the bed... Should I say this is a lifestyle habit or something... Anyway, it is difficult for me to understand.

"Isn't it because you were playing with your phone at night?" Brother Nan responded, "If your parents confiscated your phone, I wouldn't believe you would stay up so late."

"While that's a factor...I don't think I was awake because I was looking at my phone. I was awake because I was bored and used my phone."

I responded to this.

"Tsk, you're talking nonsense here again. If you have nothing else to do, just read more. It's better than looking at your phone, right?"

"That's true." I scratched my cheek and replied, "I feel like this might not be a bad idea..."

"But don't be like that guy in the class next door. I know young people like to stay up late, but staying awake for long periods of time and only catching up on sleep during the day can be very harmful to your health."

"Hmm? What's the next class?"

I was about to turn around and leave, but because of these words, I suddenly turned around.

"Oh, so you didn't know yet? You're obviously a nosy guy."

"..."

If possible, I wouldn't want to know about this kind of thing.

"Since you are interested, it's not wrong to tell you about it."

"Isn't that what you wanted to say?"

"If you don't want to hear it, you can leave now." She said nonchalantly, "I don't really like talking about other people's things either."

"Hmm... Let's just listen to the end."

I still care a little bit.

"Then I'll cut to the chase." She looked up at the ceiling, as if trying to organize her words. "There's actually a guy in school who likes to sleep in class just like you."

"Please don't make it sound so strange to sleep in class. Anyone who's been to school has experienced sleeping in class, right?"

"No, I don't have any."

Brother Nan seemed to have said something very extraordinary in a very casual way.

"..."

However, judging from her tone, she didn't sound like she was lying.

If you raise questions, you may end up with bad consequences, so just believe it for now.

"That...that guy is just like me..."

"But her grades are much better than yours."

"If possible, please emphasize other aspects..." This is the only aspect I don't have any confidence in.

"Well, according to her homeroom teacher, she's not addicted to her phone or games, but she just can't sleep at night. When asked why, she can't quite explain it. She just vaguely hints that she's afraid."

"If you don't sleep simply because you're afraid of the dark... you'll feel like a troublesome child who needs to be coaxed." I couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, it sounds like you have a brother or sister... Oh, do you really have one? Hmm, what's their name? Illya or something?"

"...It would be great if it really existed."

That way I can be on another set.

"It's a child from another relative's family..."

"Actually, I was just joking... But getting back to the point, from what I know, her parents don't seem to care much about this..."

"..."

I wanted to say it was nothing, after all, I didn't want my parents to know that I often stayed up late. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what I did and what the guy Nan Ge mentioned were of different nature.

"It doesn't sound like you like staying up late...but I don't know why..."

I feel a little concerned.

"Okay, okay, it's almost time for class. You can go now." She said, waving at me. "Be careful not to fall asleep in class, even if it's not my class."

"I'll pay attention." But Nan Ge might have forgotten something. So I looked at her, waiting for her final words.

"...What are you still doing here?"

"...Um, teacher, you haven't told me that person's name or which class he's in." Although he said they were next door, he didn't specify how far away they were.

"Huh? Why should I tell you?" She looked at me puzzledly. "I just told you there was this person. I didn't want to do anything to you."

“…”

Yes, it seems that no one asked me to do anything...

"Yeah...that's right." For some reason, I felt a little awkward.

"Don't think too much. Taking care of the things around you is the top priority, right?"

After I turned around, Brother Nan said this slowly.

"..."

Are you referring to Lin Yi's case? (Not really.)

. . . . . . .

It was almost lunchtime, and the last class was my favorite, physical education. There were no tests recently, so the classes these past few weeks were mostly free time.

To avoid being found, I deliberately ran to an area outside the playground when no one was paying attention. Although the physical education teacher usually didn't let us leave the playground during free time, it shouldn't be a big deal if I was the only one missing. Besides, it was less than 200 meters away from the cafeteria, and there was a pavilion and flowers for shelter... the chance of being discovered was still very small.

“…”

However, no one will be discovered.

"What are you doing? I don't have anything to eat for you..."

But that doesn't mean it won't be discovered by other people.

"..."

Generally speaking, cats, with their proud and arrogant nature, would never approach humans easily. Of course, that cat-like creature in my house, which had no sense of presence, was another matter.

However, the creature now rubbing against my legs was undoubtedly a white and black cat, and it did not seem afraid of me at all.

Although I don't know if animals can really understand human speech, I still told that guy so.

"There's no benefit in pestering me like this."

Having said that, his eyes, which were originally on the phone screen, couldn't help but look at the guy who suddenly appeared.

"..."

"but..."

Tentatively, I reached out my hand towards it, and it didn't shy away. So I easily picked it up and placed it on my lap.

However, it can be done by touching it a few times.

"...In a place like this, you can actually come into contact with animals other than humans..."

I began to wonder where this guy came from.

"Want to watch me play games?"

I held the phone in front of its eyes, but it didn't seem interested in the images. It just took a look and turned its head away.

"...ah."

Yes, after all, cats’ aesthetic tastes are very different from humans’.

So I let it lie on my legs and continued playing games, but I pulled out my left hand and kept stroking the hair on its back.

After a while, the hand that had been on it felt its body shaking. When I looked at it, it had already bent down and left my legs, falling to the ground.

"...?"

It wasn't until I heard the bell for the end of get out of class and the sound of approaching footsteps that I suddenly understood the reason.
