Ever Since My Roommate Started Sleepwalking

Lin Chuji has a sleepwalking disorder—but he doesn’t know it.

After finishing the college entrance exams, the well-protected Lin Chuji secretly signs up for a seven-day island cruise vacation. His cabin roommate turns out to be Xie Yan, another recent graduate looking to unwind after the exams.

That very first night, Lin Chuji sleepwalks into Xie Yan’s bed.

Wrapping his slender arms around Xie Yan’s neck, he mistakes him for the giant body pillow he hugs at home and snuggles against him repeatedly.

Xie Yan, suddenly wide awake and completely tense:

???

For seven consecutive nights, Lin Chuji climbs into his bed without fail, becoming more skilled and natural each time.

Watching the cold and distant Lin Chuji during the day transform into an unusually affectionate person at night, Xie Yan can’t help but wonder.

Xie Yan: Is he flirting with me by playing hard to get?

Lin Chuji: Why does this guy keep looking at me so strangely? He’s probably some kind of pervert.

When the cruise ends, they part ways and go their separate directions.

But fate has other plans.

On university move-in day, they discover they’ve been assigned to the same dormitory.

The moment their eyes meet:

No way. It’s him again. Better stay far away.

Yet Lin Chuji seems to have become familiar with Xie Yan’s scent. His sleepwalking continues, and his nightly antics become increasingly bold, leaving hearts racing and faces burning.

Xie Yan goes from resisting… to accepting… to somehow enjoying it.

Then one night, Lin Chuji stops coming.

After several sleepless nights, Xie Yan finally corners the person who’s been avoiding him.

Grabbing Lin Chuji’s wrist and pulling him aside, he refuses to let go.

Lin Chuji’s cheeks flush red. “Let go… people will see…”

“No.” Xie Yan lowers his voice. “You turned me gay and now you’re pretending nothing happened?”

Lin Chuji stares at him in shock.

“Huh? You’ve got it all wrong. I’m straight.”
