When Jiang Fengmian picked Wei Wuxian off the streets he noticed Wei Wuxian was always tired more often not. At first everyone thought it was just stress and that he just lacked sleep but they soon realized how wrong they were. Around when Wei Wuxian was 12 he would fall asleep randomly no matter when, where, or what he was doing. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that Wei Wuxian had narcolepsy. Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli began to hover around him constantly, not wanting to leave him alone in case he had a sleep attack.
When the time to go to the cloud recesses came Jiang Yanli and Jiang Fengmian insisted on telling the Gusu Lan sect about his condition but Wei Wuxian refused firmly. Wei Wuxian did not want to be treated differently than any of the other guests disciplines. So he insisted that Jiang Cheng would take care of him.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were lead through the cloud recesses by two of the Gusu Lan's disciplines to class since they had arrived quite late.
When they entered the classroom everyone looked their way.
"How come you are late?" Lan Qiren questioned the two.
"We ran into some unforeseen issues not during our travels."
Wei Wuxian calmly replied as they cupped their hands to greet him.
Lan Qiren, "I'll over look it this time, sit in a empty seat."
There was no two empty seats next to each other so Wei Wuxian sat in the back next to a boy clad in moss green robes. Jiang Cheng sat closer to the front, needing to pay close attention since he is the sect heir. Once seated, Lan Qiren continued to teach. He talked about a lot and Wei Wuxian was beyond bored. He played with the edge of his sleeves, too tired to even try and pay attention. An unbearable need to sleep washed over Wei Wuxian and his body slumped, his forehead hitting the desk in front of him with a loud thud. The disciplines turned to look at Wei Wuxian in confusion except for the one clad in white. His face stoic as he briefly glanced at him before looking away.
"I-Is he alright?" The one dressed in moss green robes said worriedly.
Jiang Cheng, "I apologize for my shidi's behavior, he must be tired from the journey."
The class went by very quickly for Wei Wuxian. He woke up to see the class empty, except for a angry looking Lan Qiren standing right in front of him.
"Care to explain why you were sleeping in my class?"
Lan Qiren sounded calm but there was clear traces of anger on his face.
"...no?"
Lan Qiren sighed, "As punishment you'll be copying this classes lesson down tomorrow in the library pavilion. Lan Wangji will be over seeing your punishment and If it happens again the punishment will be worse."
