    Chapter 23 Paperwork

    Shannan hung the new paper puppet that Yu Zhibai had made for him on the zipper of his schoolbag. As the zipper shook when he walked, the paper puppet on it also swayed. The smile on his face was much brighter than when he just delivered it to Shannan.It's much more brilliant in the hand.

    This was the first time that Shang Nan returned to school since he was kidnapped. When everyone in the class saw him, they all gathered around his desk. Among them, Zhang Hu behaved the most exaggeratedly. He lay on Shang Nan's desk and read carefullyAfter looking him around and confirming that he had no arms or legs, he sat down and scolded Lu Yang, "This idiot is blinded by hatred!"

    The school committee said: "It doesn't matter if he's not here anymore, I'm usually so depressed."

    The Sports Committee said: "In the future, we can finally play whatever ball we want."

    Shang Nan looked at the people's relieved expressions as if they had been liberated from oppression, and thought they were a little cute.

    Although Changyu High School is a private aristocratic middle school, except for a small number of specially recruited students with good grades, the rest of the students' family backgrounds are either rich or noble, but wealth is also divided into three, six, and nine levels.

    Although Lu Yang is a bastard, his family is really rich and powerful. Because of this, those who can afford to offend him will not ask for trouble, and those who cannot afford to offend will not provoke him.His family is not as good as Shannan's, but Shannan has always been low-key and unobtrusive in the class. Lu Yang is also very smart and has never troubled Shannan.

    After they chirped and denounced Lu Yang, who was not present, the Sports Committee's eyes suddenly froze, "No, I noticed that you came to school with Yu Zhibai today. Why? You must have been on the wrong side, right?"

    When school starts, students have to fill out a personal information form. In addition to their names and contact information, they also have their home addresses. Most of the students in the class live in various large and small villa areas in the city center. Only Yu Zhibai's name is followed by: Happy Community.

    In their eyes, Xingfu Community is equivalent to a slum, and Shannan would not go to school and pass by a garbage dump.

    Although they also like Yu Zhibai, Yu Zhibai is a good student with good grades but never high grades. If they ask him any questions, he will help answer them.

    But, after all, they are not from the same world.

    They will deal with people like Yu Zhibai, but they will not have any deep friendship.

    Shannan propped up his chin and was writing in his hand. He sounded in a good mood when he answered, "He and I are good friends, so we came to school together."

    The people around had different expressions, but because of Shannan's answer, their smiles towards Yu Zhibai became sincere.

    After they dispersed, the head teacher asked someone to call Shannan to his office.

    Zhang Xueli also received a lot of criticism from her superiors in the past two days. She stayed up several nights writing reports and inspections because of her students' affairs. She couldn't even hide the dark circles under her eyes.

    Seeing Shan Nan come in, she poured him a glass of water. After sitting down, she sighed and asked, "Are you okay?"

    Shang Nan held a disposable paper cup, hot water passed into the palm of his hand through the non-insulated interlayer. He shook his head, "It's okay. I felt a little uncomfortable when I first entered the hospital. It's much better now."

    To anyone except Yu Zhibai, Shang Nan would never say that he had not broken a single skin.

    Zhang Xueli's brows furrowed even more tightly, "To be honest, it was beyond all of our expectations that Lu Yang would do such a thing to you, but he had already gone through the transfer procedures before, so our schoolThere is no right to punish him now.”

    Shannan also knew this. He nodded and said in confusion: "Then you called me here because you wanted to say..."

    "I mainly want to talk to you about other things." Zhang Xueli's expression was more relaxed than before. "Before your accident, a classmate put a note on my desk. The classmate wrote on it, saying that you andClassmate Yu Zhibai is in love, and I came to you today just to ask about this matter. Is what that classmate said true or just a myth?"

    Shang Nan did not reply for a long time because it was indeed true.

    Zhang Xueli has been a teacher for so many years, and she can see the change in Shang Nan's expression. She cleared her throat and said, "Although our school's policy in this regard has always been relatively relaxed, the teacher still wants to remind you that at this time, academic workLord.”

    "Especially for classmate Yu Zhibai, I think you should know about his family situation. Studying is his only way out."

    Zhang Xueli hopes that Shang Nan will not affect Yu Zhibai.

    But she didn't know that in this world, the person who wished Yu Zhibai the most to have a smooth life was Shannan.

    Shannan responded, "I understand."

    Seeing that Zhang Xueli didn't believe it and wanted him to write a letter of guarantee, Shangna was speechless for a moment and raised her hand to promise, "I promise, I will study hard and not hold back classmate Yu Zhibai.Mr. Bai will make progress together, build a beautiful home together, become the pillars of Huinanfang, and contribute to the beautiful and prosperous Huinanfang."

    His serious look made Zhang Xueli laugh. After Zhang Xueli stopped laughing, she said, "Okay, then let's set a goal and get 200 places in the monthly exam next week, okay?"

    After she finished speaking, she added before Shannan could answer: "Don't say that I didn't give you two a chance. Since you are determined, you must take action. Otherwise, how can you prove that you really like her?"

    Shannan: "Then why don't you let Yu Zhibai prove that he really likes me?"

    Zhang Xueli couldn't help but patted Shannan on the head, "You're stupid. She has such good grades that she has a puppy love with you. Doesn't she like you enough?"

    Shang Nan thought: This is pua, I will not be caught by pua.

    In the afternoon, Shang Nan lay down on the table and took a nap.

    Half of the sky outside was covered with thick gray cumulus clouds, and half of it revealed the sun, which was as big as a fingernail, like a small piece of golden carp scales stuck to a marshmallow with a distinct color.

    The life committee member asked in the group: If you are going to Jinzi Lake for an outing next week, if you have anything you want to eat, please tell me, although I may not necessarily buy you smiley faces.

    Zhang Hu: Buy eel, I want to eat grilled eel!

    Classmate A: I want to eat drunken shrimp!

    Classmate B: For barbecue, I want to order grilled wagyu beef. I don’t want to eat it on the iron plate, so I buy it and cut it into small pieces and put it on skewers...

    Classmate C: Fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In short, it should be delicious. Life committee member, look at me!

    Life Committee: Look at your mother.

    The group members responded with a lot of "hahahahahaha" at the insult from the life committee member. Among them, Yu Zhibai's reply that broke the formation appeared.

    Yu Zhibai: Are there grilled lamb chops?Shannan likes it.

    Someone looked through the chat history, saw it, and directly clicked on this message to quote: Oh my god, is this what I understand?

    Then there was another neat formation of "Oh my god, is this what I understand?" Yu Zhibai turned off his phone and didn't look at it anymore. He didn't have anything to eat. He just said what Shannan liked to eat, which wasThese people made a fuss.

    Shannan didn't know what was happening in the outside world. He was still confused when he woke up. The math teacher on the podium looked very unhappy. He quickly grabbed a pen and pretended to scratch the paper a few times.

    Zhang Hu, who was sitting in the front, turned around, holding an exercise book in his hand. He looked like he was looking for a question about Shang Nan, but he asked: "Are you and Yu Zhibai together?"

    "What?" Shannan was still a little confused. He didn't immediately recover from his long nap.

    "Yu Zhibai replied something very interesting in the group before. You can go to the class group." Zhang Hu bit his pen and frowned, then turned back. If it weren't for Shang Nan who was also one of the parties who told the gossip, he wouldYou might be fooled like everyone else.

    Shan Nan secretly took out his cell phone. There were many messages in the group, so he didn't bother to read them and directly searched for Yu Zhibai's speech records.

    Just one thing to say - any lamb chops?Shannan likes it.

    After reading it, Shannan had a question mark on his face, "What's this?"These people are so imaginative!

    Zhang Hu just talked to Shonan and did not avoid Yu Zhibai, but Yu Zhibai waited for Shoonan to confirm before saying, "Do you mind?"

    "No." Shannan subconsciously denied it. He put away his phone, "I don't mind, I'm just curious."

    Yu Zhibai carefully observed Shang Nan's expression. His eyes were different from those of humans. They were straight and dark, like a small and sharp hook thrown out, hitting the face of the person being looked directly at.The little fuzz was so hooked that it trembled all over.

    Shang Nan clearly felt that his face was heating up, heating up, heating up, and finally reached a hot threshold. He couldn't help but said, "Are you looking to see if I'm lying?"

    "No," Yu Zhibai lowered his eyes, and most of his scorching sight was blocked, "I just want to see you when I'm free. I probably like you too much."

    Shang Nan felt that this sentence was also very lethal.

    "Where did you learn it?"

    [14: No need to learn, this should be something that every species is born with. Only you humans need to learn how to be nice to someone.]

    The relationship between Shang Nan and Yu Zhibai was not considered an underground love affair. I guess everyone could tell because Shang Nan had pursued Yu Zhibai before, and the pursuit was earth-shattering. Now that the two of them suddenly became close, they must be together.

    For Shang Nan's sake, everyone in the class suddenly had a different closeness to Yu Zhibai than before, but Yu Zhibai was still the same as before. He was obviously more special to Shang Nan, and it was very obvious.

    But despite this, Yu Zhibai's blackening value still stayed at the previous value without any change. In the middle of the night, it even fluctuated significantly.

    Shan Nan couldn't see anything from Yu Zhibai's face. He wondered several times whether Yu Zhibai's expression couldn't change at will, or whether he had inflicted it on himself.

    The blackening value fluctuated in the middle of the night for several consecutive days. Shannan finally couldn't sit still. During his evening self-study, he wrote a note to Yu Zhibai: Tomorrow is Friday. Zhang Xueli said there will be a heavy rain in the morning, so I don't have to go to school. I'm afraid., can I sleep at your house tonight?

    He didn't mean anything else.

    His whole body was focused on the abnormal blackening value that occurred in the middle of the night. He wanted to know what Yu Zhibai was doing in the middle of the night.

    After a while, the piece of paper crawled from Yu Zhibai's table to Shang Nan's hand.

    afraid of what?

    Why so much nonsense?Shang Nan wrote on the paper: I am afraid of thunder.

    Yu Zhibai agreed.

    After the evening self-study, the students rushed to the school gate together. Most of the people still in school are senior high school students.

    Shang Nan lowered his head and buttoned his coat. He was afraid of the cold. The winter back in Nanfang was not only cold, but also very wet. He didn't like to let 14 warm himself up. One night some time ago, 14 felt that his body temperature was too low, so he secretly warmed himself up.He heated it, but failed to control the temperature well, and woke up Shang Nan from his sleep. From that day on, Shang Nan banned 14 from heating his body.

    When he arrived at the school gate, Yu Zhibai put the fluffy earmuffs in his hands on Shannan. They were white and had rabbit ears on the left and right sides. Shannan reached out and touched them, "Yours?"

    Yu Zhibai shook his head, "I did it last night." Shang Nan's ears were red from the cold outside, and he saw it.

    "Oh~~~What are you doing~~What~~~" Zhang Hu's long voice came from a distance, and he quickly approached the two of them because he was riding a cool black electric bike.

    He squeezed out from the crowd and stopped next to the two of them. His eyes fell on Shang Nan's earmuffs. "Damn, this looks good. Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too. I'm almost getting frostbite."

    It is impossible for Shang Nan to say that Yu Zhibai did it, "Yu Zhibai's grandma did it."

    Zhang Hu looked disappointed. Yu Zhibai's grandmother was very old. He knew, "Okay, I'll go then. You two should be careful on the road."

    After Zhang Hu left, Yu Zhibai held Shang Nan's hand and said, "Let's go home."

    It takes more than half an hour to walk to Yu Zhibai's house.

    The north-south straight road was straight with no end in sight, and the red stone tunnel was hidden somewhere. A car slowly drove over from a distance and stopped in front of them. The fat driver lowered the window and said, "Get in the car, Xiaobai!"

    "Oh! And Xiaobai's boyfriend!"

    If you ignore that it is a paper figure, and that the production process is relatively sloppy, and there are even corners of the paper that have not been cut cleanly in some places, then the other person still looks very pleasant.

    This time, he drove a little faster than last time. Yu Zhibai said to Shannan in the car: "I made these earmuffs according to the style that Yu She bought for me before."

    Shang Nan met Yu She once, in the tunnel.

    Today, he saw it again.

    When the car entered the tunnel, they encountered the same situation as last time. The lights went on and off several times. Yu She, who was wearing a red dress, came from far and near, and forced their car to stop in a blur of fog.

    If he hadn't known that the other party had no ill intentions and was Yu Zhibai's mother, Shang Nan would have been frightened to the point of cardiac arrest by this scene - this was much scarier than the last time they met.

    Yu She happened to be standing outside the window where Shang Nan was sitting, and raised his hand. Shang Nanqiang lowered the window before she knocked on the door. He ignored his heartbeat that was beating loudly and exposed his face to Yu She.A bright smile said, "Good evening, Auntie."

    Yu She doesn't have the twisted face of an evil spirit, nor is she bloody or missing arms or legs. On the contrary, she is very beautiful, with a very standard oval face. Her facial features are not three-dimensional, but she is as gentle as a mountain lily that has just unfolded its petals. Her red dress isShe added a bit of color.

    When Yu She saw Shannan, he was startled, "Are you...are you the good friend Zhibai said?"

    The driver stuck his head out and said loudly: "Ashe, Asher, is not a good friend, but a boyfriend."

    Yu She bent down and put his face close to Shannan. Looking at it from a close distance, Shannan could still feel that the other person was not a human, but a ghost. Not only was there no blood on his face, but there was also some black spots on his face. His eyes were blank and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.The lips are also blue and white, which is the color of the lips after they have lost their vitality after being dead for a long time.

    Yu Zhibai stretched out his hand to hold Shang Nan's hand, pulled Shang Nan back a little, and said to Yu She, "He is Shang Nan."

    Yu She straightened up slowly and smiled slightly, "It's our first time meeting you, but I don't have anything good to give you. I'm sorry."

    She only has a ghost that disappears at any time, and she may leave at any time.

    Yu Zhibai handed her a small piece of paper, said good night, and asked the driver to leave.

    Just like that day, Yu She held the paper figure and looked at the direction they left for a long time.

    "She is very beautiful." Shannan said, "She must be gentle and kind."

    Yu Zhibai pressed up the car window and said calmly, "I can't remember clearly." When he found Shang Nan looking at him in confusion, he raised his index finger and tapped his temple, "I really can't remember clearly."

    It is a paper man, and it is impossible to have the joys, anger, sorrows and joys that Yu Zhibai originally had. When Yu Changyue made it, those things as a human were slowly disappearing, and the uniqueness of being a monsterThe seven emotions and six desires are slowly growing in its body.

    It's instinct that it doesn't want to leave Yu She.It was instinct that Yu She couldn't part with it.Even though their feelings for each other many years ago have become very vague.

    The lights in Xingfu Community are very bright, illuminating all the grass in the yard.

    Shang Nan got off the car and subconsciously took Yu Zhibai's hand, even though the other person's hand was ice cold.

    Shang Nan looked at a corner of the flower bed, "What is that?"

    The grass there is the most lush, with withered yellow and green coexisting, and it is shaking slightly. It is not the wind, and the wind will not only blow part of it.

    The driver also got out of the car, "I'll go take a look."

    As he spoke, he walked over. Papermen are naturally not afraid of the weird things that humans say. They are already weird enough, so why should they be afraid... He thought to himself, stretched out his hand to open the grass, and found a swollen face.The man's face was completely exposed in front of the driver.

    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ah,Scared me."

    Shang Nan: "..."

    The grass was still moving, and an arm stretched out. This arm separated the grass from the middle, and then Li Rongping climbed out from it.

    His face was pale, and the flesh on his face was swollen. It was bigger than when I saw him at the door of Yu Zhibai's house some time ago. He was completely different from that day. His eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were dull, and his lips were swollen.There were several deep cuts caused by the dryness.

    Seeing that it was Shang Nan and Yu Zhibai, Li Rongping's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He moved his lips a few times, pointed to the grass, and said, "The cat is lost. I'm looking for the cat."

    After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his home regardless of whether the people behind him believed it or not. His walking posture was also strange, stiff and floating.

    Until his back disappeared, Shang Nan couldn't help but sneeze. He turned his head and wanted to tug Yu Zhibai, saying go home, he was so cold, but when he turned his head and raised his eyes, he saw Yu Zhibai's snow white face.His face, crimson lips, and bottomless black eyes stared straight at the direction Li Rongping left.

    When Shang Nan saw the change in the other person's face clearly, his breath froze.

    "Yu Zhibai? Xiaobai?" Shang Nan boldly tugged on Yu Zhibai's sleeves, "Go home..."

    Yu Zhibai rolled his eyes, slowly lowered his eyelids, and landed on Shan Nan's face who was wearing earmuffs and looked warm and soft. The color of his lips also became a little lighter.

    "good."

    Shannan thought that Yu Zhibai's change was probably because he disliked Li Rongping because he had spilled blood on his house.

    Yu Xiaoyu was still waiting for Yu Zhibai to come home from school on the steps of the first floor. The creases on her knees were deep and she needed to flatten them out when she stood up. She also had a love for beauty.

    "Shang Nan?! Are you here too?!" When Yu Xiaoyu had almost cleaned up the creases, he looked up and saw Shang Nan standing with Yu Zhibai. She was full of surprise and was about to scream.Yu Zhibai held back again.

    "Why are you here so late?" Yu Xiaoyu asked, walking in front.

    Shannan said, "Is it okay to stay at your house tonight?"

    "Of course you can!" Besides, it's not her turn to decide whether it's OK or not. This is Xiaobai's house.

    Thinking of the Southern Appreciation Party being here tonight, Yu Xiaoyu's steps in front were almost trembling. She had been very frightened the past few days, because Xiaobai had always been very abnormal at night these past few days, either not sleeping, orWhen she went out and wandered around, she was really afraid that if she displeased Xiaobai, he would tear her apart.

    It would be great if Shang Nan is here. Xiao Bai who is with Shang Nan is the best Xiao Bai.

    At home, Yu Changyue was still watching TV. It was a very old TV, and it also played very old movies. The characters in the movie had exaggerated expressions and body language, but Yu Changyue watched with great enthusiasm and her eyes were still open.

    Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked towards the door, and then saw Shan Nan again. She said, "Here we go again."

    "Good evening, grandma." Shang Nan didn't mind Yu Changyue's bad attitude.

    Yu Zhibai put down his and Shannan's schoolbags. He went to the bedroom and opened the closet. He pursed his lips and carefully selected pajamas.

    He doesn't have many clothes, and he doesn't care about appearance. He can wear them anyway. Every time he makes clothes, he is very perfunctory. Some pajamas are even made with two trouser legs of different lengths.

    But Yu Zhibai didn't want Shang Nan to wear such perfunctory clothes.

    Otherwise, make a temporary set, but it may not work.

    "Yu Zhibai, I don't have much to pay attention to, as long as I can wear it." Shang Nan stood at the door of the room and said.

    Yu Zhibai picked up a set that was barely passable and a little thin. He didn't make it himself. He bought it during the Chinese New Year last year. He hasn't worn it yet.

    Shang Nan was used to taking a bath before going to bed. The bathroom in Yu Zhibai's house was a little small, and the water flow was so strong that it even hurt when it hit his body.

    So he washed quickly and didn't take a closer look at the bathroom.

    When he wiped his face with a dry towel, the hot fog in the bathroom dissipated a little, and the wet hair on his forehead was pushed up by the towel. He turned around to get his clothes, but when he saw the row of small papers sitting on the mirrorWhen I saw the film, I was stunned.

    Yu Zhibai was doing homework when the door to the room was pushed open violently, and a wet and foggy Shannan rushed in. He stood next to Yu Zhibai with a straight face, clenching his fists and saying nothing.

    Yu Zhibai didn't understand, "What's wrong?"

    Shang Nan threw the handful of small paper figures in his hand onto the table. The small paper figures were suddenly caught and frightened. They finally escaped from the palm of his hand and scattered on the table.

    "I didn't let them run in, they ran in on their own because they wanted to see it."

    Shang Nan's mind was spinning very fast at this moment, "They want to see it, which means you want to see it, right?"

    He lowered his eyes and looked at Shang Nan's feet wearing sandals. The toes were still wet and stained with a layer of water.

    Yu Zhibai slowly raised his head. His lips were now bright red and his eyes were dyed black. He curved his lips and replied, "Yes."
