Chapter 21 Paperwork

"Eat it."

Because I can't put it down, whether it's the eyes or the mouth, the tips of the hair or the tips of the ears, they all look like treasures in the world.So Yu Zhibai wanted to break the person in front of him into pieces and eat them into his stomach, swallowing the skin and flesh. In that way, he and Shannan would become the two most intimate parts of the world.

Shannan leaned his back against the edge of the table, and the hard marble just touched his shoulder blades. It hurt a little, but it made him sober.

He looked at Yu Zhibai. Yu Zhibai didn't look like a paper man now. His eyebrows were gentle and graceful, and his tone of voice was the same as usual. Only the look in Shang Nan's eyes changed slightly.

Shang Nan could tell that the paper man was really thinking about whether he could eat him.

It's not the kind of eating you see in movies.

It's the kind of thing where the skin is peeled off and the bones are ripped apart to get the meat.

Shang Nan slowly put his hand on the table. He grabbed a homework book and put it between the two of them. "There are a few questions that I can't do."

Yu Zhibai slowly lowered his eyes. After a while, he straightened up and took the homework book from Shang Nan's hand, "Which ones are there?"

[14: What a lie.]

Yu Zhibai is very smart. He must have been a very smart child when he was a child. His way of solving problems is simple and not cumbersome, making it easier to digest and remember. He is worthy of being the top academic in his grade.

In fact, these questions were not difficult for Shannan, and he didn't know why he did them. Anyway, when he held the pen, the problem-solving ideas naturally came into his mind.

But no matter how smart Yu Zhibai is, he is just a student.

"Yu Zhibai," Shang Nan looked at Yu Zhibai carefully listing formulas on the draft paper, leaned over and asked, "Which university do you want to get into?"

Looking forward to a better future and talking about life ideals, the monsters are full of hope for the future and full of yearning for life.

Yu Zhibai didn't stop writing, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"With such good grades, you will definitely go to the best university." Shannan held his chin, saying this completely unconsciously.

"Really?" Yu Zhibai remembered Shang Nan's poor grades. Contrary to Shang Nan's lovable face, his scores often made teachers in various subjects furious, "What about you?"

"Me, everything is fine." Shannan replied.

After hearing Shang Nan's answer, Yu Zhibai glanced at him. The meaning in his eyes was very complicated. He even stopped to write the formula for Shang Nan.Paper figures rarely show such pyrotechnic eyes.

But then I thought about it, and I realized that the heir to the admiration family didn't need to worry about his grades at all. His father had laid a solid foundation for him, and there were many people who came one after another to help him secure his position.

In Shang Nan's eyes, there is the original purity and fearlessness of human beings.

Yu Zhibai withdrew his gaze and continued to list the formulas, while softly saying: "Perhaps, we can get admitted to the same university."

What a tacky request and hope.

But Yu Zhibai was sincere.

Only then did Shang Nan regain his attention. He said "Ah" but did not answer for a long time.

Yu Zhibai stopped writing completely this time, and quickly dug a hole in his homework book with his fingernails, "You don't want to?"

"There's no reluctance, it's just that I may not be able to pass the university you entered." Shannan answered honestly. He didn't notice Yu Zhibai's expression changing several times.

Yu Zhibai's desire for control was completely beyond the normal value, and was not within the scope of the 14 test points.The problem is, before this, no one expected that a monster would love a human so much.

It is a paper man. No matter how similar it is to humans on the outside, it is hollow on the inside. Whatever it cares about is what is contained in its body. It has cleared away part of its resentment and left a place for Shannan. If Shannan...ifShang Nan... Then it will stuff Shang Nan into the missing hole.

[14: Nannan, please pay attention to the blackening value, there are signs of rising.]

Shannan tapped his fingers on the table a few times inadvertently, leaned his upper body towards Yu Zhibai, and blinked, "But, you can help me tutor, I can work hard for you."

After a long time, Yu Zhibai showed a smile and said, "Okay."

It began to immerse itself in formulating formulas and highlighting key points.

It thought, if Nannan was also a paper man, then there would be no need for tutoring at all. It would just have to write down the knowledge points and stuff them for him to eat.

But if you do that, Nannan will no longer be Nannan, and it will lose a lot of fun.

Shang Nan stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged. On the day he was discharged, the doctors and nurses on the entire floor breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they think Shang Nan is difficult to take care of. On the contrary, the young master Shang Jia is surprisingly easy to talk to. He doesn't have any of the overbearing and unruly things that children from rich families tend to do.The one who was difficult to take care of was his mother. Although she was away, the aunt at home would call and ask questions every day, and her angles were outrageous.

Li Houde came to pick up Shannan from the hospital and sent him home. He seemed very guilty, "If I hadn't asked for leave that day, I wouldn't have let anything happen to you."

Shannan never thought about blaming anyone from beginning to end, "It's okay. Besides, I wasn't hurt either."

Not only was he not injured, but during the past few days in the hospital, Yu Zhibai had cooked and delivered food and drink with his own hands. They were all delicious and delicious, and Shannan looked even better after being fed than before he was kidnapped.

But obviously, Li Houde still felt uncomfortable. After delivering Shannan to his home, he ran to the fruit store and bought two large bags of fruit and sent them to Shannan's home.

"Then you rest first, I will take you to school tomorrow."

After finishing his work, it was only noon. Shannan planned to go out for a meal and see someone at the detention center.

Lu Yang was locked in a room alone. He didn't talk or eat. He didn't even know his father came in. On the first day he came in, he was beaten black and blue by his father. Several people tried to stop him, but they didn't stop him..

When Shang Nan saw him, the injuries on his face were still very obvious even though they had been treated.

Seeing Shang Nan, Lu Yang raised his eyelids, then sat up from the bed and patted his knees, "What are you doing here?"

Shannan stood at the door, smiled and said, "Your father used all your shares in exchange for my favor."

Lu Yang lowered his head and showed no emotion. After a long time, he sneered. He looked down on the old man's actions and said, "You don't need to show your noble hands. You can handle it as you want."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes. He probably hadn't slept much in the past few days. His face was pale and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. When he spoke through gritted teeth, his cheeks were twitching like tigers, "Ask Yu Zhibai for me.Ask him if he can sleep at night, ask..."

"He's not the bully, why can't he sleep?" Shannan asked Lu Yang.

"His mother seduces my dad! Everything he eats and drinks belongs to my father! My mother died because of his mother! Why can he sleep?" Lu Yang was playing football in the yard at that time, and the ball reached the second floor.On the window, the glass shattered, with a crash and a muffled "bang" sound. The ball fell to the ground with the mother, but the ball could bounce up again, but the mother would not stand up again.

What happened after that was like a movie with the fast-forward button pressed, sad music, eulogies, wreaths, a father pretending to cry, a newlywed father... Lu Yang felt that all of this was because of Yu Zhibai's mother.

Shang Nan lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Yang, who was sitting on the bed like a lost dog, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't it your father who you should blame the most?"

[14: Usually, men end up being invisible or even innocent. This is a very common phenomenon.]

"Lu Yang, have a good rest," Shang Nan remembered what Zhang Gou said that night, "You may not be able to sleep well in the future."

The weather was hazy, and even though it wasn't raining, the air was still humid with water.

When Shannan came out of the detention center, he passed by a dessert shop called Tazijia. The cakes displayed in the window were fresh and exquisite. He stood outside the window and looked at it for a while. The clerk came out and said enthusiastically: "You just haveThe pistachio and black tea cup cakes are ready, do the guests want to come in and take a look?"

Shannan thought that since Yu Zhibai hadn't finished school yet, he could buy one for Yu Zhibai to eat. By the way, could it taste?

Thinking about it, Shannan had already stepped into the dessert shop.

When he came out again, he was carrying four or five boxes containing cakes.

14 thinks he can't eat so much. He talked so much for the first time when he bought it, but not so much when doing tasks.

[14: I don’t like black tea. The pistachio one looks good. May I ask, what kind of chopped nuts are sprinkled on top?]

[14: It should be a little sour, right?]

[14: You bought too much and you can’t finish it.]

Shang Nan looked at the gray sky and turned around, "Let's go see grandma."

[14:Who?]

Shannan replied: "Yu Changyue, Yu Zhibai's grandmother."

Xingfu Community is nearly half an hour's drive from the city. The big rusty iron gate is not locked all year round. The greenery in the yard is growing like crazy and it will probably take a long time to be tidied up.

Most of the people who live here are old people without children. It didn't rain today. There are several chess tables set up at the entrance of the community. People are playing chess and poker. They seem to be at ease.

In such an old place, even the fallen leaves have a fixed trajectory and number. They also know which house the smell of chili and pickles comes from, and it has been the same for ten years.

So when Shang Nan walked in, they looked in the direction of Shang Nan repeatedly, and finally couldn't help shouting, "What are you looking at, kid?"

No…no sneakiness.

Shang Nan carried the cake and replied in a good manner: "I'm here to see Grandma Yu."

When a group of old men and women heard that they were looking for Mrs. Yu, their faces changed, and even their wrinkles were filled with disgust and bad luck. After looking at each other, a bald old man holding a cigarette in his mouth said: "You look kind, you look like a good boy.I would like to remind you..." Before he could finish speaking, the uncle took a long drag on his cigarette and continued to talk slowly, "No one lives in the building where Mrs. Yu lives now. It's haunted! It's Yu.She came to ask for her life, and she used Yu She’s life to extend her life..."

"Stop talking, stop talking. Is it bad luck?" Another old man next to him patted him twice. The old man who spoke looked at Shan Nan with a look of "Think clearly, kid" and then turned back and continued playing chess..

Shang Nan didn't give up the idea of going upstairs to visit because of his words.

The small iron gate at the entrance to Building 11 was open, probably because it was not closed. The rain from the past two days had blown in, and a deep puddle had accumulated at the entrance.Shannan jumped over with the cake in hand. After he stood firm, he looked up and saw a round and big face looking at him with a burning gaze.

Shang Nan almost lost his temper.

"What are you doing here?" Shang Nan asked Yu Xiaoyu.

Yu Xiaoyu was lying on the armrest, and Yu Zhibai made a very round face, as if drawn with a compass, so it was a little distorted, and it was made of paper, and it was careless. It looked like it had just come fromThe paper girl that was removed from that funeral was just a little more agile.

"I saw you when you entered the gate, and I came down to pick you up." When those old men and women called to Shang Nan, Yu Xiaoyu was really afraid that Shang Nan would turn around and leave. There had been no guests in the house for several years.

Yu Xiaoyu led Shang Nan back home. It had been raining continuously for the past few days. The house was as dark as the afternoon, but surprisingly there was no feeling of humidity or gloom.

Yu Xiaoyu turned on the light, poured a cup of hot water and put it in front of Shang Nan. "Xiao Bai is in a good mood these days. He is almost ready to finish it." She pointed.

Shang Nan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a paper man with the same size as Yu Xiaoyu, but he was male and wore a red short coat.

"What is this?" Yu Xiaoyu saw the beautiful box on the table.

"cake."

She put her face against the box and looked inside, eagerly. Shannan asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat? I brought it for you."

Yu Xiaoyu shook her head, "I don't need to eat, I just think it's beautiful."

A strange sound came from a room, like a rat's cry. Yu Xiaoyu turned around and said, "Grandma's awake. She's calling me. I'll help her up."

She went in for a long time and then walked out with difficulty while supporting the old man.

This was the first time Shannan saw Yu Changyue standing in front of him - she was indeed very old, with wrinkles and cloudy eyes, but her eyes were bright.She was wrapped in several layers of blankets, just like a dying tree wrapped in a thick layer of cotton to protect it from the wind. In fact, the trunk of the tree had completely lost moisture and nutrients.

Yu Xiaoyu originally wanted to help her to the sofa where she usually sat, but at this moment Yu Changyue raised her finger and pointed to the seat next to Shannan.

Shan Nan was startled, then stood up and said, "Sit down."

Yu Changyue sat down next to Shang Nan with great difficulty, and also motioned for Shang Nan to sit down.

The smell of the old man was not unpleasant. Yu Xiaoyu must have stayed at home to take care of her.

After sitting down, Yu Changyue remained silent for a long time. Even the sound of the second hand beating was louder than all the sounds in the room combined. Yu Xiaoyu and the unfinished paper man stood in a row. They don't understand humans..

"It likes you very much." Yu Changyue said suddenly. Her voice was very weak, like someone who has not recovered from a long illness. After finishing speaking, she took a big breath and was silent for a long time.

Shang Nan held the water cup and asked, "Yu Zhibai?"

Yu Changyue shook her head very slowly, "No."

Shan Nan lowered his head and thought for a while. He thought that the "it" Yu Changyue was talking about should be a paper man.

But isn’t the paper man Yu Zhibai?

[14: Yu Changyue is engaged in the industry of dealing with gods and ghosts. She will not accept a paper man as her grandson, even if it is.]

Yu Changyue let out a soft snort between her breaths, "I advise you to stay away from him. He is not a good thing. He is just a ruthless guy wearing a good-looking human skin."

The old lady didn't have many teeth and was weak, so her speech was somewhat unclear. Even her sarcasm sounded like low-pitched nagging. There was no momentum, and no malice could be heard.

Shang Nan did not participate in this topic. He knew very well how scary Yu Zhibai was.

"Grandma, do you want to eat cake?"

"What kind of cake is this?" Yu Changyue's eyes widened and she moved her head under the thick blanket.

Shang Nan stood up and went to the table to get a chestnut cream cake. He squatted in front of the coffee table and untied the ribbon tied to the surface of the box. The carton was spread out on all four sides, and the rich chestnut smell spread.

He handed over a small spoon and said, "Do you need my help?"

"No need." This sentence was a decisive and confident answer.

Yu Changyue's hand holding the spoon kept shaking. She only skimmed off the top layer of chestnut puree and cream, took a very small mouthful, and fed it into her mouth. She ate very hard and chewed slowly.

"Ashe likes sweets and will buy me sweets," Yu Changyue snorted coldly. She held the spoon in her hand but stopped eating. "That guy rarely buys cakes for me."

Shonan looked up at the old man with a faint smile in his eyes. He thought, Grandma Yu probably just said she hated the paper man. How could she not love Yu Zhibai?

"Anyway, you have to be careful about him and don't be deceived by him." After Yu Changyue said this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She was wrapped in the blanket again and stopped eating cakes. The cake on the coffee table looked likeNot touched at all.

Shan Nan stood up and lifted the blanket up a little.

[14: I feel that she is about to die, probably within this period of time.]

Shan Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the old man who was completely withered and shriveled. Unfortunately, she gave away her daughter and grandson with her white-haired man and her black-haired man. Fortunately among the misfortunes, she left Yu Zhibai strong in this world, and there were alsoShe was given care of until she died.

There was some movement outside, rustling, not noisy, but there was no way to ignore it.

Yu Xiaoyu leaned on the cathole of the door frame and looked outside. Before she could see clearly, a basin of blood was thrown at her. The smell of blood was very strong. She screamed and backed away. She found that she was clean.Then she remembered that it was Men who was splashed with blood, not her.

She looked at Shannan at a loss, "I'm not afraid of blood, but they come every once in a while, saying they are driving away evil spirits." Although she is not afraid of blood, no matter what kind of blood it is, she is derived from Yu Zhibai, Yu ZhibaiBai wasn't afraid, so she wasn't afraid either, but it was really evil that she couldn't appear in front of everyone.

Shang Nan asked her to take the half-finished product and hide it, "I'll do it."

After Yu Xiaoyu dragged the semi-finished product into the room, Shang Nan opened the door. People outside the door were startled and hurriedly ran a few steps downstairs. When they saw it was a person, they were relieved again..

Shang Nan looked at this group of people, as well as the bright and dazzling red on the ground, walls, and doors, dripping wet from top to bottom, a scene that was more bloody and cruel than the crime scene.

There were about a dozen people, both men and women, who needed so many people to pour a few basins of blood. The extra people were probably here to help strengthen their courage. After all, Mrs. Yu was very evil.

"Who are you? Why are you at Mrs. Yu's house?" The leading man looks very rough. In movies, he is a character who upholds justice, punishes evil and promotes good. He stares at Shannan with a pair of buffalo-like eyes.

At first glance, this young man did not look like someone that Mrs. Yu could have a relationship with. He was clean, rich, and had a natural sense of nobility. Standing in the corridor full of blood, he looked like a pearl wrapped in bright rose petals.

Shang Nan's tone was not very good either, "Friend."

"Whose friend?" The strong man rolled his eyes, "Yu Zhibai's friend? Does he have friends?"

Shang Nan would not answer such an idiotic question. He just looked at the group of people below quietly.

They chattered and began to preach and accuse, and even cursed this young man who was obviously trying to stand up for the Yu family.

"Who are you? Are you so nosy?"

"Do you know that when Mrs. Yu is about to die, she will kill people to continue their lives?"

"The last one was Yu She, be careful the next one is you!" They said while pointing to Shang Nan with their fingers, their facial features distorted out of position.

Shang Nan was too lazy to listen. He went to the corner of the corridor, bent down and picked up a broom among a pile of debris, and walked back to the group of people. He spoke condescendingly, defiantly, and in a threatening tone, "Next time.", this community... I have shoveled it."

Most of the residents in Xingfu Community are elderly. They have lived here all their lives. If they really want to leave here, most of them will probably be reluctant to leave no matter how much they pay.

This community has been included in the urban planning scope. Most of the people are unwilling to move out. They can live for one more day. What's more, the demolition is not like it used to be. Please give it a try.It's like sending away a beggar.

Some people didn't believe it. After discussion, they still didn't believe it. After all, Shannan looked too young. Compared with them, he was just a child.

14 quietly reminded Shang Nan and provided him with additional information.

After Shang Nan learned about it, he slowly rolled up his sleeves, squatted down on the steps, and pointed at the woman behind the strong man with a broom, "Your son has just obtained the internship qualification of Shangshi Group."

He pointed to the other one, "Your wife is the deputy section chief of the logistics department of Shangshi Group Corporation."

Another said, "You, Shangshi security guard, have today off."

Shang Nan's confusion seemed to be natural. He laughed, and under the uneasy looks of everyone, he said: "If you don't leave yet, then... let's all open up."

After a brief silence, the woman who was first pointed out hugged the basin and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's not about ten thousand, it's just in case. If what he said is true, then my son will definitely have to make trouble with me.", he has been preparing for this interview for three months."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the others couldn't hold it anymore. After encouraging each other, they squeezed and ran downstairs, leaving only the strong man alone. He couldn't hold it alone, and he gasped in anger, "Wait a minute."Come on, Mrs. Yu will come to kill you tonight!"

Shang Nan: "..."

Shang Nan looked at the mess of the place, the unknown animal blood stuck to the soles of his shoes, the fishy smell and dust in the air, and the glass windows covered with thick dust, making it difficult for light to shine in.

His nose suddenly felt a little sore. Did Yu Zhibai grow up in this kind of environment?If he was in pain and sad, how miserable would he be?

He didn't know how long he had been squatting. When he slowly stood up with the broom in hand, his legs were a little numb. He held on to the wall for a long time before he recovered.

When he raised his head, he saw Yu Zhibai appearing at the corner—Shang Nan didn't know when he appeared.

Yu Zhibai's eyes moved from Shang Nan's face to Shang Nan's blood-stained shoe uppers and trousers. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes became dull and his face turned pale.

Shang Nan sensed the change in the other party and the sudden increase in anger. He dropped the broom and ran down the stairs in a few steps. He threw his arms around Yu Zhibai's neck and kissed his face. "It doesn't matter, I'll kill them all."Driven away..."

Yu Zhibai raised his hand and slowly held Shan Nan's waist. It seemed like half a century had passed. Yu Zhibai lowered his head and buried it in the crook of Shan Nan's neck, choking.
