    Chapter 24 Paperwork

    Shang Nan looked at the few little paper figures that quickly escaped without a trace. He was choked by Yu Zhibai's frankness and was speechless for a moment. He could only sit down on the stool next to him, "You will give yourselfAre you very thick-skinned?"

    Yu Zhibai didn't understand what Nannan meant, so he slowly raised his gaze, "What the little paper people think is indeed what I think, but I can control my own behavior. They may not be able to control their own behavior. IThey think whatever they think, and they not only think it, but they also execute it.”

    "Is this my fault?"

    Shang Nan: "..."

    Yu Xiaoyu's figure appeared at the door of the room. She looked at the two of them seriously, "Are you arguing?"

    "No." Shannan and Yu Zhibai replied in unison.

    "Grandma is a little hungry and wants to eat noodles." Yu Xiaoyu scratched her head.

    Shang Nan held down Yu Zhibai, who was about to get up, and said, "I'll go cook and you go take a bath. By the way, your eyeballs need to be replaced."

    Maybe it was because it was about to rain and the air began to become very humid. The ink in Yu Zhibai's eyes became smudged, and when he stared at people, he felt very inhuman.

    Compared with Yu Zhibai, Yu Xiaoyu likes to stay with Shannan more. There is something about Shannan that makes her feel very comfortable. No wonder Xiaobai likes Shannan, and she likes it too.

    She squatted in the kitchen to help Nan select green onions, and the bright white light fell on her disk-like face, which was weird and a little cute.

    Shang Nan added water to the pot. He didn't know if he could cook, but when he entered the kitchen, he could identify the condiments on the shelf. Thinking about it, he should know how to cook.

    "Grandma has been coughing all night recently."

    Shannan turned around and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

    Yu Xiaoyu raised her head, "But we don't have money. Alas, it's hard to live without money." Although she has never been out, she also knows that the sound insulation in the community is not good, and there are always people quarreling over money: they think the living expenses are too small.Son, a couple who fought over 20,000 yuan of private money during their divorce...

    As a novice, although the school waives tuition and miscellaneous fees, sometimes you have to pay class fees and engage in various activities, none of which require money.

    "Yu She's compensation was originally quite large, but after several years of treatment, my grandma spent all the money!" Yu Xiaoyu handed the selected scallions to Shan Nan, "When I ran out of money, my grandma stopped seeing doctors.Grandma said the remaining money will be left for Xiaobai to go to college."

    "I'll take grandma to the hospital for medical treatment tomorrow morning." Shannan rolled up his sleeves and chopped green onions on the chopping board.

    He thought that if Yu Changyue could get better, Yu Zhibai might feel that there is still some warmth in this world.

    Yu Xiaoyu: "Are you rich? You need a lot of money."

    Shan Nan nodded, "Well, I'm very rich."

    "Where is the face?" Shang Nan asked Yu Xiaoyu.

    Yu Xiaoyu pointed to the cabinet on the far left, "There."

    Taking the noodles in his hand, Shannan asked subconsciously: "How much should you cook?"

    Yu Xiaoyu didn't know, she didn't cook, so she held her chin and looked at Shannan.

    The water in the pot was boiling, bubbles were rising from the bottom of the pot, and the water was boiling. At this moment, Shang Nan thought that he probably didn't cook much, and his previous feeling was wrong.

    The dried noodles were heavy in his hand. Shang Nan took out a small handful from his pocket and threw them into the boiling water. It looked like there was a little bit, so he threw some more. Considering Yu Changyue's current digestion ability, he did not add poached eggs, just a bowl.Very bland noodles, and the other thing is, no matter how difficult it is, Shang Nan will not be able to make it.

    The lights in Yu Changyue's room were turned on, and they were still old-fashioned light bulbs. The wires snaked up the wall and climbed to the head of the bed. A light bulb with yellow filament hung at the end of the wire.

    The furniture in the room is relatively old, but clean and tidy.

    The old man was leaning on the bedside, covered with a thick quilt. There was a small table on her bed.

    Seeing Shan Nan, "Why is it you?"

    Shang Nan put the noodles on the table, put the chopsticks in Yu Changyue's palm, and held her back to make it easier for her to eat, "Yu Zhibai is taking a shower."

    "Does it take a bath? What kind of bath does it take? Just wipe it with a towel." Yu Changyue's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. She could only pick up a small amount of noodles at a time, and the speed was very slow. She stared at the noodles closely, not wanting toForgot to sarcastically ask Yu Zhibai, "You think you can really become a human if you learn to live like a human?"

    Shang Nan lifted up the blanket that was slowly sliding down her shoulders. At this time, Yu Changyue had successfully eaten the first bite of noodles. She moved her eyes to the left and squinted at Shang Nan, "You are not good either.It's a thing, you know it's not a human, but you still get along with it, what's your purpose?"

    "I don't have any purpose." Shang Nan sat down at the end of the bed. The bed was soft and sunken deeply. He knew that Yu Changyue was just worried about any human beings appearing around Yu Zhibai. He knew Yu Zhibai's identity, which was equivalent toA ticking time bomb, "I like him a lot."

    Shan Nan really likes Yu Zhibai. He has no resistance to things like small animals.

    14 was right, and the mastermind didn't predict it wrong. He was thinking about a cat before he died, so he must have been a loving person. The cat he was thinking about must be his pet cat.

    "It doesn't have a car or a house to give you, and there is no money in its bankbook."

    Speaking of this, Shan Nan tentatively said to Yu Changyue: "I have discussed it with Yu Xiaoyu and will take you to the hospital for medical treatment tomorrow morning."

    Yu Changyue, who was still talking nicely, suddenly became irritable. She picked up her chopsticks and splashed the hot noodle soup on Shan Nan's face, "I won't go."

    "Oops," Shang Nan wiped the soup off his face with the back of his hand. It hurt a little. He didn't get angry and coaxed Yu Changyue, "I'll pay for it, okay?"

    "Are you rich?" Yu Changyue picked up the chopsticks again.

    "I have it."

    "Then I won't go either," Yu Changyue panted, she was tired, "I never owe favors."

    "Then let Yu Zhibai owe it." Shang Nan smiled, looking like he always had a good temper.

    Yu Xiaoyu, who was squatting at the door, was already stunned. He was not angry at all!

    No wonder Xiaobai likes to admire Nan, and so does she.

    "What does he want in return?" Yu Changyue sneered.

    "Work for me after you graduate from college," Shannan said.

    Yu Changyue coughed a few times and looked at the gentle Shannan in front of her. This boy... was exactly what she imagined Yu Zhibai would look like when he grew up.

    "I'll think about it," she said.

    Shang Nan nodded and agreed not to rush Yu Changyue. He would not leave the room until Yu Changyue finished the half bowl of noodles.

    Yu Xiaoyu followed him, "You have a red spot on your face, let Xiaobai fix it for you." After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she said it again, "Let Xiaobai fix it for you."Medicine, rub it on."

    "It's okay, it'll be fine later."

    Yu Xiaoyu looked surprised, "Wow, you humans are so amazing, you can actually take care of yourself!!!"

    Shang Nan: "..." Then you paper figures are more magical.

    Yu Zhibai finished the finishing work in the kitchen. When he returned to the room, Shang Nan was sitting on his bed wrapped in his quilt. Shang Nan imitated Yu Zhibai and tilted his head, "Do you need a quilt at night?I need to."

    Yu Zhibai's hair was a little wet. He walked from the dark to the light. Only then did Shan Nan realize that his eye sockets were empty, empty and filled with nothing.

    "Xiao Bai, bend down and look at me." Shang Nan moved to the edge of the bed, closer to Yu Zhibai.

    Yu Zhibai obediently bent down and looked at Shang Nan. If there were no eyeballs, the two eye sockets would look very big and dark, and you could see through them at a glance.

    Shang Nan raised his hand and pressed his warm fingers on Yu Zhibai's brow bone. His fingers slowly moved down along Yu Zhibai's eye sockets, tracing and outlining them.

    Shang Nan watched helplessly as the blood red slowly spread on Yu Zhibai's lips, and eventually even the skin under his hands became cold, hard, and pale.

    "you……"

    The boy raised his eyes, but before he could speak, he was dragged into his arms by the paper man.

    Yu Zhibai bit the corner of Shang Nan's lips, which hurt a little. Shang Nan couldn't help but open his mouth and got in with a touch of wetness. Regardless of whether they are human beings or not, creatures are born with strong or weak predatory desires..

    Shang Nan was pushed to the head of the bed, and he raised his head. Yu Zhibai was a little confused about the importance. Moreover, as a paper man, his mouth was a little dry and he was not as soft as a human being.

    Shang Nan felt like a traveler trapped in a whirlpool in the desert. The heat was squeezing his heart, the dry sand was squeezing his heart, and the hot wind blowing on his face was adding fuel to the fire. He grabbed Yu Zhibai's shoulders and shouted stop.

    Yu Zhibai was stunned for only a few seconds, and then moved forward a few minutes, until the tip of his nose was touching Shang Nan's, "But I don't think it's enough."

    "..."

    Shang Nan felt that his waist was weak. It took him a long time to regain the autonomy of his body. "If it's not enough, stop. We'll talk about it next time."

    He wanted to tell Yu Zhibai that he was going to take his grandma to see a doctor tomorrow.

    But Yu Zhibai's hand suddenly poked his face, "Why are you so red here?"

    Shang Nan said nonchalantly: "Grandma accidentally spilled noodle soup on my face just now. It burned me. It will probably go away after a while."

    If he had known that such a sentence could make Yu Zhibai attack Yu Changyue, Shannan would definitely think about it for a few seconds before answering, and he would not mention Yu Changyue at all.

    Yu Zhibai stared at the red skin on Shang Nan's face for a moment, and suddenly got off the bed. Before Shang Nan could react, Yu Zhibai walked out barefoot. Yu Xiaoyu was talking outside, "Xiao NanBai, you're not sleeping...Xiao Bai!" Yu Xiaoyu screamed.

    Shannan got out of bed in a hurry and didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He went out. Yu Xiaoyu held up her torn off right hand and said with a sad face, "Xiaobai went to grandma's room."

    A muffled sound of "bang" came from the grandmother's room. The muffled sound almost seemed to hit Shannan's chest. His heartbeat stopped briefly, and then started beating rapidly again.

    Before rushing into Yu Changyue's room, Shang Nan had already expected the scene he might see, but when he actually saw it, Shang Nan still felt unbelievable and full of pain.

    Yu Changyue was dragged to the ground by Yu Zhibai, and the quilt on the bed also fell to the ground. Without the thick blanket and quilt, the old lady was small and skinny. She crawled on the ground with difficulty. She probably wanted toShe crawled under the bed, but in Yu Zhibai's black hole eyes, she was like an ugly insect that kept squirming in vain.

    Yu Zhibai's expression was very cold. He turned around and opened the window. The cold wind poured in, and he walked towards Yu Changyue.

    At this time, Shang Nan came in. After taking a look at the open window, he almost knew what Yu Zhibai wanted to do - Yu Zhibai wanted to throw Yu Changyue out of the window.

    It has forgotten, forgotten Yu She, and also forgotten Yu Changyue. No, it may not have been completely forgotten. Maybe they still have a negligible sense of existence in Yu Zhibai's heart, but they are far behind the status of Shang Nan in the heart of the paper man.

    It was just because Shang Nan was accidentally burned by Yu Changyue.

    "Yu Zhibai?" Shang Nan tried to call it, "She is grandma, she is not someone else."

    I don't know if it was Shang Nan's illusion, but after he finished saying these words, there were faint tears in Yu Changyue's eyes, and the old man's expression was both desperate and sad.

    But I have no regrets.

    "I, I don't know him." Yu Zhibai said softly. As he spoke, it bent down and tried to grab Yu Changyue's ankle.

    Shang Nan rushed over and pushed it away. He squatted down and helped Yu Changyue up. Yu Changyue leaned weakly on Shang Nan and whispered: "Look, I told you, no matter how much it imitates others,It can’t hide the fact that it’s a monster.”

    "Grandma, she's also my grandma," Shonan said calmly. He raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zhibai, who had completely transformed. His throat was a little dry, because he was not sure whether Yu Zhibai at this time wouldHe would also do something to himself, "Didn't you study well in school? Why can't you do it now? How could you hurt grandma? Then will you hurt me in the future? Yu Zhibai, you are a paper man, but you are also human!"

    Yu Zhibai's eye sockets were empty at this time, and Shang Nan couldn't guess what it was thinking through its eyes. He held Yu Changyue in his arms. The old man looked haggard, with his eyes closed, and his expression was gloomy. He suddenly felt very sour in his heart..

    Grandma was not wrong, and neither was Yu Zhibai, so who was wrong?

    Yu Zhibai suddenly raised his feet and walked out.

    Without thinking much, Shan Nan bent down and picked up Yu Changyue from the ground, picked up the blankets and quilts on the ground one by one, and covered the old lady again.

    He went to close the window again, and when he turned around, he found Yu Changyue crying.

    "Grandma," Shang Nan walked over and took out a tissue to wipe away the muddy tears from the corners of her eyes, "it didn't mean it, it actually loves you very much."

    Yu Changyue closed her eyes.

    Shan Nan knew that she probably didn't want to talk now, so he silently turned off the lights and closed the door when he went out.

    In the living room, Yu Zhibai was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Shan Nan, he said, "You sleep in my room and I sleep on the sofa."

    After the lights were turned off, Shan Nan glanced in the direction of the sofa. Yu Zhibai was still sitting in the same posture as before, without any change. The street lights on the road outside the window converged into a weak light and shone into the living room. The paper man's face was strangely pale.But if you look closely, you can see that its back is slightly bent, and the expression on its face is innocent and helpless.

    It doesn't know what it did wrong. It needs to think about what it did wrong before it can know what it did wrong.

    Shang Nan didn't sleep well in the first half of the night. The task was far from being as simple as he imagined.

    [14: Nannan, actually from its point of view, it is right, from its thinking point of view, it is also right. This is a monster. Human social rules cannot restrain it, and human thoughts cannot imprison it.No emotion can kidnap it. Its feelings for you are only analyzed as love by us, but maybe in its thinking, it is not the word love, but something else.]

    [14: You saved it, and at the same time, you became the catalyst for it to harm people in this world.]

    [14: People who grow roses may also be pricked by rose thorns, you should understand.]

    Shang Nan covered his head with the quilt, "I understand~"

    The night was already very deep. Shan Nan had been in the dark for a while and was about to fall asleep again. When his eyes were about to close completely, a roar from downstairs scared Shan Nan awake. He shook and looked out the window.

    The bare locust tree branches still stretched out with claws and claws, looking like twisted ghosts in the middle of the night.

    Immediately afterwards, there was another muffled thunder, the rumble was hidden in the clouds, and it sounded long and heavy.

    It is going to rain.

    Shang Nan stood by the window and looked downstairs. On the right was the gate of the community. There was a group of people gathered there, making a lot of noise, but because they were far apart, Shang Nan was not disturbed.

    That roar was made by a man named Li Rongping, who was banging his head against the wall crazily.

    The person next to him who kept trying to stop him and was pushed to the ground by him should be his mother. His mother only wore one slipper, and the other one was missing and her hair was disheveled.

    As if Li Rongping didn't know the pain, Shang Nan counted and bumped him about seven or eight times. He didn't know how many times he had been hit before. Finally, Li Rongping stopped and turned around. Shang Nan was shocked. ManHis face was covered with blood. The blood avoided his eyes and kept flowing down from the bridge of his eyebrows and nose, from his temples and cheeks.

    He was wandering around aimlessly, muttering, "Ashe, Ashe, I miss you so much, Ashe, Ashe..."

    [14: The Ashe he is talking about is Yu Zhibai’s mother. He once harassed Yu She and spread rumors around the community that Yu She’s private life was chaotic. He also pestered Yu She and attacked Yu Zhibai on his way home from school.Zhibai wanted to kill Yu Zhibai, so that Yu She wouldn't have a drag bottle and could be with him.]

    [14: I told you before that all physical and verbal violence against Yu Zhibai will be counterattacked. This does not mean that Yu Zhibai actively harms people. As long as you don't provoke it, it is harmless.]

    [14: Nannan, this is what you humans call retribution, then...retribution has begun.]

    The onlookers rubbed their arms and said, "Don't be a ghost, Aunt Li, why don't you go find someone to exorcise your son."

    Someone also said: "I saw on TV that this is mania and it can hurt people."

    The crowd stepped back a few steps with tacit understanding, and then continued to point and point——

    "So is this disease contagious? Will it bite people like rabies?"

    "It may be due to too much work pressure. Depression, yes, that's depression. I heard that many young people suffer from this disease."

    "This is not depression. This looks like neurosis, mental illness, and a disease in the brain. Aunt Li, please forgive me and be patient."

    "My good son, look at him. He's crazy. He was raised in vain."

    Li Rongping's mother, Li Lijuan, picked up a handful of dead branches from the flower bed. With disheveled hair, she chased the group of people and whipped her angrily, regardless of whether she hit them or not. In short, she wanted to scare these gossips, but she was also suffering in her heart.There is no way to tell.

    "You are the ones who are sick! You are the ones who are sick! Go back and lie down when you have nothing to do! Talk about other people's affairs all day long. If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouths apart, get out!"

    A group of people were still laughing while being chased and beaten.

    "Aunt Li, no wonder your son is crazy. Look at yourself. Why do you seem to be crazy? Is it hereditary?"

    Li Lijuan was so angry that she was shaking all over and almost rolled her eyes and fainted immediately, but thinking of her crazy son, she bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself awake.

    There was another thunder, still loud. A group of people raised their heads and glanced at the dark sky. "It's going to rain. Let's go back."

    Seeing that it was going to rain, they dispersed quickly. In less than a minute, only Li Rongping and Li Lijuan, mother and son, were left at the door. With no outsiders around, Li Lijuan burst into tears. Li Rongping began to act abnormally in the past few days. At nightHe doesn't sleep, and he doesn't sleep during the day either. He keeps thinking of Ashe, but, but, what is Ashe?

    Shang Nan looked at it for a while, closed the window, turned around, and met Yu Zhibai's gaze. Shang Nan almost choked on his own saliva, "Why are you awake?"

    Yu Zhibai's face looked normal at the moment, and he also had eyeballs installed. The gentle amber color was painted after Shang Nan's eyes, and it also suited Yu Zhibai's human appearance.

    Shannan glanced out the window again, "Is he crazy?"

    "No, he just loves Yu She too much." Yu Zhibai curled his lips, without any hint of malice, "He loves Yu She so much, he should want to accompany Yu She."

    "..." If Yu Zhibai wasn't being sarcastic at this moment, then Shannan really felt like he'd seen a ghost.

    "What happened at night," Yu Zhibai lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry."

    Shan Nan rubbed his eyes and yawned, "You should go tell grandma about this."

    Yu Zhibai's eyelashes fluttered, and he looked at Shannan with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Why?"

    Shang Nan: "..."

    "Then why are you apologizing to me?"

    "I should have listened to you and stopped immediately, but I didn't listen to you at that time." Yu Zhibai replied.

    Shannan felt that the thinking of monsters was really different from that of humans, very different.

    "Go to sleep." Shan Nan walked around Yu Zhibai and walked towards the bed. When he lay down, he rolled up the quilt and rolled it to the wall, covering himself tightly.

    After watching a crazy show before going to bed, Shang Nan was already feeling lightly sleepy.

    Yu Zhibai, who was standing by the window, remained motionless. When Shan Nan was about to fall asleep, he started to move, but not towards the living room, but towards the bed.

    Shang Nan fell asleep in a daze, and vaguely felt someone hugging him from behind. The hug was not tight, but he could not break away.

    Li Rongping has been dreaming about Yu She lately, dreaming about how she gets up early for a run, how she comes home from get off work, how she holds Yu Zhibai's hand and sends Yu Zhibai to school. Yu She's relationship with everyone seems to be They're all very nice, but it's all superficial, and behind their backs they all say very unpleasant things.

    At such a young age, with a son whose real father he doesn’t even know who he is, and showing off all day long... there are really too many things to say.

    Li Rongping felt that he was the only one who truly understood Yu She.

    It would be nice if there wasn't that dragster around Yu She. He knew that many women would choose not to marry because of their children.

    Li Rongping ambushed Yu Zhibai on his way home from school several times. Whether he tried to push Yu Zhibai into the reservoir or stoned Yu Zhibai to death, he was somehow dodged by Yu Zhibai. He thought, it must be the one from Mrs. Yu.The old immortal was protecting Yu Zhibai.

    There is nothing to protect a grandson whose origins are unknown. Even if he protects such a little brat, it is conceivable that the conduct of the Yu family has serious problems.

    In order to get Yu She to agree to his pursuit, Li Rongping tried his best and did everything possible. He felt that he was the person who loved Yu She most in the world.

    Even at Yu She's funeral, he couldn't stop crying. There was no one in the world who loved Yu She more than him.

    It was Yu Zhibai and Mrs. Yu who killed Yu She. If it hadn't been for Yu Zhibai, Yu She wouldn't have been so exhausted at work. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Yu who wanted to survive, then Yu She wouldn't have had a car accident. This grandson, the devilLike, Yu She was killed.

    He is the person who loves Yu She most in the world.

    But when he saw Yu She in a red dress sitting bloody on the end of his bed, he felt that he didn't love this woman that much anymore. It should be said that he didn't love this woman at all.

    Yu She would come and sit at the end of his bed every day, so Li Rongping didn't dare to sleep in the bedroom anymore. He planned to sleep in the living room, but couldn't. Every midnight, he always wanted to go to the front door for a walk. He couldn't control himself..

    Standing in the empty yard, under the moonlight, he looked at his hands. They looked like they were made of paper, two thin pieces. Li Rongping reached out and pulled his little finger, and pulled it back, making a "hiss" sound.The little finger was torn off, and a long strip was torn off along the arm, hanging in the air, floating.

    It must be a nightmare, it must be a nightmare, it must be a nightmare.

    Li Rongping hit his head against the wall, but it didn't hurt at all, until his face felt wet. He raised his hand and wiped it. His hand was bright red, and he would bleed!He will bleed!He is not a monster, not a monster made of paper!

    There was a happy weird laugh in his throat, mixed with a woman's cry, coming from behind him. Li Rongping turned his head and looked behind him. He saw an unkempt woman with her head lowered and covering her mouth as she cried.

    Li Rongping thought of Yu She, his eyes widened in horror, and he ran forward crawling on the ground. He wanted to shout, "Yu She, don't come over," but the air echoed with "Ashe, Ashe," one after another.I miss you so much.

    Shang Nan woke up from the heat the next day. He kicked off the quilt without success and was even pinned down. That's why Shang Nan woke up. Yu Zhibai was face to face with him and he was already awake.

    Seeing Shang Nan wake up, Yu Zhibai leaned closer and kissed Shang Nan on the face.

    Yu Zhibai has always been so cheeky, and Shannan was not surprised. He glanced at the end of the bed with difficulty, and saw a row of small paper figures lying on top, pressing down tightly.

    "Yu Zhibai, let them go." Shang Nan didn't get up and get angry, but seeing this scene, he had to get angry and lose his temper to let them know that he was not easy to mess with.

    "You like to kick under the quilt at night. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I kept it under you." After Yu Zhibai explained, the row of little paper figures had already jumped out of bed and ran away.

    A little paper man ran away, but then came back. It ran hard onto the bed, ran to Shannan's head, and rubbed Shannan's face with its head, like a kiss.

    Shannan thinks it's quite cute.

    I wanted to tease the little paper man, but a hand with sharp bones stretched out from in front of Shang Nan. Yu Zhibai grabbed the little paper man, and then Yu Zhibai threw the little paper man in while it was still fluttering.In its mouth - it ate small pieces of paper.

    After Yu Zhibai finished eating the little paper people, he kissed Shang Nan's face again and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I also ate the ones last night."
