People Keep Saying There's Something Wrong with Me

*Also known as An Ordinary Day in the Life of an Ordinary Wage Slave, Really Just an Ordinary Wage Slave, Really Just an Ordinary Person, Really Just a Person, Really? A Person? *The blurb is in first person; the story is in third person. ① At five in the morning, I was woken by a furious pounding on the door. I opened it groggily, but there was no one outside. I wanted to go back to sleep, but all sorts of noises kept coming from upstairs: sometimes it sounded like something sharp scraping against glass, accompanied by hoarse roars and vicious curses. I was very disappointed in the building's soundproofing and decided I would never buy a home from this developer again. ② At eight, I left home and saw a dried red stain on the door, giving off a nauseating stench of blood. I immediately thought of the pounding at five and sighed at the other person's poor manners. If it was a neighbor, perhaps I could speak to the property manager about it. ③ At twelve thirty, I was eating in the cafeteria. The male manager at the next table had a belly swollen like an inflated balloon. He was about to pick up a bloody piece of beef and wolf it down raw when he suddenly retched and spat out dozens of glistening eggs. "If he's about to give birth, he should go to the hospital," a coworker muttered. I agreed. ④ At six thirty, I got off work. The bus driver was a good man. He loudly told the other passengers to make room for me. I looked at the empty bus and carefully shuffled along, making sure I didn't accidentally step on anyone's shoes. ⑤ I got home at seven and spent half an hour playing with my pet. Huajuan was just as mischievous as ever. The back of its head would suddenly split in two, but luckily I was quick enough to avoid those rows of shark teeth. ⑥ At eleven, I got into bed right on time. The piercing scraping sound started up again upstairs. But I was already exhausted. Looking forward to a wonderful tomorrow, I soon fell fast asleep. Coming soon: My Nemesis Went Crazy and Got Clingy With Me ① Li Yuanqing, once the light of the Starvault and a general who had driven back countless invasions from the Dark Sea, was ultimately corrupted by it. The hero everyone had revered became a 3S-class high-risk contaminant whose very name made people tremble. His mind was extremely unstable, large parts of his memory were missing, and he could lose control and go berserk at any moment. He was sent to the most heavily guarded therapeutic planet in the entire universe for treatment. His subordinates lived in constant fear, worried that the next day they would find their boss had lost consciousness completely and become a minion of the Dark Sea. Who could have guessed that something even worse would happen? The general had disappeared. ② His subordinates were horrified and immediately searched everywhere, eventually finding Li Yuanqing in a general store on some remote third-tier planet. The Starvault general, who never listened to anyone and attacked everyone who came near him, was actually helping the shopkeeper move things, arrange the shelves, and clean the floor. Whenever he had a spare moment, he would cling to the shopkeeper, wrapping him tightly in his mutated tentacles and refusing to part for even half a second. His subordinates were stunned. Had anyone ever seen the general like this? After checking the records, they discovered that the shopkeeper had been Li Yuanqing's classmate at the Royal Mecha Academy. Apparently, they had often gone everywhere together and must have been very close. They finally understood. So that's what was going on! * Tan Yin had only one response: What do you mean, that's what was going on?! ③ When Tan Yin recalled their school days, what stood out most was how this man was always provoking him, making all kinds of inexplicable attempts to get his attention, and even stopping him from going to a mecha exhibition with his junior schoolmate. If he hadn't thought the guy was a little dim and rather pitiful, he would have thrown him out long ago! Of course, the main reason was the military's treatment expenses... Thinking of the huge sum deposited into his account every month, Tan Yin suppressed the urge to chop off the tentacles with a kitchen knife. "That's enough!" * Li Yuanqing reluctantly let go for two seconds, then clung to him again. Feeling that familiar presence wrap around him, he let out a contented sigh. All the pain and torment etched deep into his soul receded like the tide, leaving only peace and tranquility. "This is wonderful. It's Yinyin."
