My Identity Becomes Increasingly Abnormal

Walking on the way home.

The Fat Neighbor couldn't contain his excitement, constantly replaying the three sentences the girl in the swimsuit said to him in his mind.

The first sentence: "Hey handsome, are you okay?"

The second sentence: "I just thought you were cute and wanted to get to know you, but I ended up making you drown. I'm sorry."

The third sentence: "Can we exchange WeChat?"

Three sentences, with a total of 36 words including punctuation.

The pronunciation of each word and the expression of each phrase from the girl were firmly imprinted in his mind like a photo.

Paired with the cute expression, unbeatable looks, and perfect figure of the girl in the swimsuit... they kept spreading and fermenting in his mind.

"Ah..."

He sighed inexplicably and for the 327th time, The Fat Neighbor took out his phone, opened WeChat, and looked at the empty chat box with "New Friend", wondering what he was thinking.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Ah... Ah? I'm fine." The Fat Neighbor quickly put away his phone.

"Are you really interested in that girl?" Chen Yu smirked.

"... " After a moment of silence, The Fat Neighbor hesitated and spoke, "Why do you think she added me on WeChat?"

"She likes you." Chen Yu got straight to the point.

"No... that's impossible." The Neighbor hesitated, "I've never been liked by girls before."

"That's because you used to be a Trash Otaku."

"And I'm still one now, right?"

"Although you still have the title of Trash Otaku, your behavior, your actions, have changed." Chen Yu gradually revealed the truth, "You started exercising, sweating, and working hard for your justice. Maybe you can't perceive this change, after all, you're in the midst of it. But outsiders can see it clearly!"

"Is that so..." The Fat Neighbor still found it hard to believe.

"Of course!" Chen Yu stopped and patted The Neighbor's shoulder, "As the saying goes, hard work pays off. Your efforts are not in vain, they can immediately change your life and your circle of friends. Whenever, an ambitious and hardworking sportsman will attract girls."

"..." The Fat Neighbor lowered his head.

Standing still for a long time, he suddenly turned around and started running.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu was stunned.

"I'm going for a night run tonight." The Neighbor's eyes were shining, his tone full of fighting spirit.

"Good lad!" Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up, "You go run, I'll go back to sleep."

Watching The Neighbor's figure running farther and farther, Chen Yu was satisfied and crossed his arms.

The power of love really can make people... lose their minds.

...

Time, like a man over thirty, passes faster day by day.

Before the dawn of the next day, Chen Yu's door was knocked.

Opening his eyes in a daze, Chen Yu's mind was still foggy as he looked towards the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door!"

"Open the door, big brother."

It was the voice of The Fat Neighbor from next door.

Chen Yu realized it, quickly woke up, and opened the door, swaying as he walked to the door, "What's up?"

"Morning run!" The Fat Neighbor was dressed in sportswear, wearing a baseball cap, jogging in place. He was full of fighting spirit, "Let's go!"

Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall, instantly getting angry, "What time is it?"

Neighbor: "The earlier we run, the more laps we can do before it gets bright."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Are you okay?" Chen Yu reached out and took off The Neighbor's baseball cap, only to find that his title was still "Trash Otaku", so he put it back on for him, "You go ahead and run, I'll sleep a bit more. I played video games too late last night."

"You played with my game console?" The Fat Neighbor was surprised.@@novelbin@@

"Yeah, didn't you give it to me?" Chen Yu said, then closed the security door and went back to bed on his own.

"..."

"Bang bang bang!"

But just as he was about to fall asleep again, the door was knocked once more.

Opening his bloodshot eyes, Chen Yu's face darkened. He got out of bed, walked to the door, and angrily opened it, "What now?"

"Big brother, you're not awake yet?" The Fat Neighbor, panting, wiped off his sweat, "I've already finished two laps. Come on, let's go for a morning run together."

"Get lost. It's not bright yet, I'm not getting up." Chen Yu slammed the door shut and lay back on the bed.

"..."

"..."

"Bang bang bang bang!"

This time, before he could fall asleep, the door was knocked again.

"Fuck your mother."

Throwing the blanket aside, Chen Yu was burning with anger. He clenched his fist and rushed to the door, pulling it open forcefully, "What's the matter now!"

Outside the door, The Fat Neighbor shrank back in fear, "It's... it's already bright, big brother."

Chen Yu: "..."

The Fat Neighbor: "Shall we... shall we go? Morning run."

"Where's my knife?" Chen Yu looked around.

"You left it at the swimming pool yesterday." The Neighbor answered.

This novel is available on ".

"..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu sighed, rubbed his stiff face, and turned back to his room, "Wait for me, I'll brush my teeth and wash my face."

After finishing the basic hygiene routine, Chen Yu found a clean jacket and walked out of the house expressionlessly.

The Neighbor outside the door couldn't wait any longer, "Let's run a few laps first, then have breakfast."

"How many laps have you run?" Chen Yu asked.

"Almost twenty laps."

"Phew." Chen Yu let out a breath, "You're really fucking awesome."The two of them, one jogging and the other walking, entered the elevator.

Chen Yu, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, decisively slapped him: "No running in the elevator!"

"Smack."

Getting hit on the head, the Fat Neighbor seemed to feel nothing, stopped in his tracks and nodded: "Okay."

Then, he took out his phone, seriously opened WeChat, and looked at the new message from the girl in the swimsuit, his face showing a silly smile: "Hehe."

Chen Yu: "......"

"Tap tap tap tap——" His fingers quickly typed a long reply, the Fat Neighbor put down his phone, and said to Chen Yu: "Bro, how about we skip the morning run and go straight to the swimming pool?"

"Have things progressed between you two?" Chen Yu glanced at him.

"Mm." The Fat Neighbor nodded: "We've decided that our future child will go to a kindergarten in the city center."

Chen Yu was shocked.

"Ding——"

Half a minute later, the elevator door opened.

The expectant neighbor and the numb-faced Chen Yu walked out of the elevator, and ran into two police officers.

One of them was an old acquaintance of Chen Yu's—the policewoman who had arrested him before.

"Oh, hey!" Chen Yu was surprised: "Miss Policewoman!"

The policewoman frowned: "......"

"Why are you here? And so early?"

"I'm here for a surprise inspection of your title." The policewoman's tone was cold, she introduced the police officer next to her: "This is a comrade from the Human Security Bureau."

"Hello, hello." Chen Yu enthusiastically reached out to shake hands.

The officer from the Security Bureau, however, coldly ignored him, took out his notebook, and said: "Chen Yu, right? Take off your hat."

Chen Yu, not embarrassed at all, took back his hand, took off his hat, revealing the words "Trash Otaku".

On the side, the Fat Neighbor who saw this scene was puzzled, he took a step back, but didn't say anything.

"The 'appellation' hasn't changed." The Security Bureau officer nodded, wrote a symbol in his notebook: "No problem."

"Indeed, only this kind of 'title' suits you." The policewoman rolled her eyes disdainfully.

Then, she saw the Fat Neighbor behind Chen Yu, her eyebrows raised slightly: "You are... the one who reported Chen Yu before?"

"I... ah." The Fat Neighbor first cautiously glanced at Chen Yu, then braced himself and nodded to the policewoman: "Hello... ma'am."

"Did he retaliate against you after he came back?" The policewoman asked.

"You tell her, did I retaliate against you?" Chen Yu turned his head and asked as well.

"No!" The Fat Neighbor's face instantly became resolute, he tiptoed, put his arm around Chen Yu's shoulder: "He, is my good big brother! The good brother who changed my life and inspired me to grow!"

The policewoman: "......"

The policewoman: "If he's threatening you, blink."

The Fat Neighbor and Chen Yu looked at each other, then turned to face the policewoman, their eyes wide open, not blinking.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes......

The apartment lobby fell into a brief silence.

Another minute, two minutes, three minutes......

The Fat Neighbor, his face red from holding his breath, his eyes full of bloodshot and tears streaming down, finally couldn't help but blink.

"I knew it!" The policewoman's face changed: "He really did threaten you!"

"Fuck." Chen Yu cursed: "He can't possibly never blink, right?"
