Chapter 32 “Final Chapter” of Paper Work

Chapter 32 "Final Chapter" of Paper Work

Yu Changyue was taken to the hospital by ambulance, while Shang Nan stayed to deal with the remaining matters. "Xiao Bai, wait for me here." He looked at the lifeless Yu Zhibai, who once again became Shang Nan's No. 1 on the first day.The way he looked when I saw him for the first time.

Shang Nan put on his wet coat and ran towards the front door.

The fire had been extinguished, the sky above the community was blackened by thick smoke, and the smell in the air was very pungent. Shang Nan met with the captain and explained the situation, "I have sent him to the hospital."

"Are you a family member?"

"I am a classmate of the family member. He sent his grandmother to the hospital first."

The scene was in a mess. The captain checked and found that the only wounded upstairs were those from the sixth floor. If they had been transported away, then the number would be correct.

After the fire was extinguished, they still had to do a lot of work such as counting the number of team members and arranging hidden dangers. Without much conversation with Shan Nan, they started working again.

Shang Nan backed away slowly, turned around and ran to find Yu Zhibai.

Yu Zhibai squatted in the corner, half of his face had been burned. Unlike humans who were burned and exposed to flesh and blood, he only had blood vessels in his neck and wrists, and his skull was nothing more than a mold-like object, but it belonged to a paper man.It grew out of its own body. It said that if it was only damaged on the outside, it could be repaired quickly, but if it was damaged on the inside, it would take a long time to heal, just like humans.

"Is grandma dead?"

Thick smoke rolled through its trachea, making it hoarse beyond words.

Shang Nan took out a paper towel filled with water from his pocket, wrung out the water, and wiped the dust off Yu Zhibai's face. His lips were pale, blending into the same color as his face, as if they had been brushedApply a thick layer of white paint.

Shang Nan didn't know how to answer Yu Zhibai's question.

"Xiao Bai, go to my house and clean your face, and then we go to the hospital to see grandma." He took off his coat, put it on Yu Zhibai, and covered it with his hat.

On the way home, Shannan asked 14: "Can I accompany Yu Zhibai until my death?"

14 took a while to answer.

[14: This is a problem with the world setting. Now that the mission has been completed, you can leave at any time, but if you choose to stay in this world and extend your stay, you will have to complete the entire world in every future world.Life, this would be a huge waste of time.]

[14: And I do not belong to this world. After the task is completed, I will be forced offline. After I am offline, I can no longer prompt you to help you. You must know that what you are facing is a monster, a paper man.I will not go online again until you enter the next world, but I respect all choices made by the host.]

[14: Nannan, I’ll give you time to think about it, so you don’t have to make a decision now.]

After saying that, 14 changed his online status to invisible.

Shang Nan: "..."

Got home.

When Yu Xiaoyu saw Yu Zhibai behind Shang Nan, he was shocked and asked, "What happened?"

Shang Nan pushed Yu Zhibai into the study, closed the door, and then explained to Yu Xiaoyu. Yu Xiaoyu suspected that he might have heard wrongly, "Fire?"

"Do you want to see grandma?" Shang Nan re-braided Yu Xiaoyu's braids that were about to fall apart. Naturally, his craftsmanship was incomparable to Yu Zhibai's.

Yu Xiaoyu grimaced, "I can't go out, I'll scare others."

Shang Nan turned his head to look in the direction of the study and slowly looked away. He looked at Yu Xiaoyu and pinched her braid. "Then Xiaobai and I will bring grandma back later, so you can see her."

Now Yu Changyue actually no longer needs treatment. While doctors are trying to prolong her life, they are also prolonging her pain.

For people who are burned, pain will penetrate into their internal organs.

Xizhou Private Hospital handles the most difficult and complicated cases among the hospitals in Hui Nanfang City. They can treat diseases, but they cannot bring the dead back to life.

Yu Changyue breathed oxygen and started a large amount of infusion. She received one dose of painkillers when she got into the ambulance, and two more doses after entering the emergency room. The old man unconsciously whispered Ouch Ouch.The mortal body is not afraid of pain.

A large group of doctors stood at the nurse's station in the emergency room, including those from the burn department, geriatric department, and surgery. The director was also there. Looking at the old man lying on the emergency bed, he only felt that this was his life.

"Are the family members here?"

The dean looked at the report in his hand and said, "The young master should be here soon."

Shang Nan soon came with Yu Zhibai. Yu Zhibai's appearance looked the same as before. The paper was pasted on the wound, and it quickly adhered to the original skin, but the burns inside still needed a lot of time.Long repair time.

Because of the injury, Yu Zhibai's face looked very bad, no different from a white paper. Standing next to Shang Nan, the doctor even asked him if he felt uncomfortable in any way.

"No, thank you for your concern." He smiled politely.

The dean briefly explained the situation to Shannan. The general idea was that it was almost the last time, and he tried to make the old man's departure as painless as possible, which was probably today and tomorrow.

Shan Nan handed the agreement to give up treatment to Yu Zhibai to sign. The dean handed the pen in his pocket to Yu Zhibai. Watching the young man bend down to sign on the table, he said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and those who stayPeople must live a good life to be worthy of the support of the elderly."

Shan Nan looked at Yu Zhibai's pale profile and thought, he still wanted to stay.

The hospital has a special car to transport critically ill patients. They even sent Yu Changyue upstairs and placed her on the bed before leaving.

This is the guest room where Shang Nan lives. The sheets and quilt covers were all newly changed for when Yu Changyue came to celebrate the New Year. Considering that the old man is old and afraid of the cold, a layer of quilt was specially added.

At this moment, Yu Changyue was lying in a fluffy and soft quilt with a peaceful expression. The painkillers must have taken effect.

Yu Zhibai sat on the chair next to him, looking at the person lying on the bed expressionlessly. Yu Xiaoyu behind him didn't dare to make a sound. She looked at Yu Changyue blankly, endured it for a long time, and then asked in a low voiceNan, "Will grandma be okay?"

Shang Nan shook his head gently.

Yu Xiaoyu couldn't cry, but she wanted to cry, "You healed yourself when you were injured last time, why can't grandma heal?"

Last time, Shang Nan was burned by noodle soup. Yu Xiaoyu asked him to go to Yu Zhibai to repair it. Shang Nan said no. Yu Xiaoyu thought it was amazing. Human beings are so amazing. They can heal themselves after being injured.But she didn't know that injuries were graded in severity, and there was nothing anyone could do in a situation like Yu Changyue's.

Yu Changyue had been sleeping, and Yu Zhibai had been sitting by the bed. He only left once in the middle of the night to make dinner for Shang Nan. Shang Nan wanted to cook it himself, but he refused.

"Accompanying her on her last journey is what I should do, and taking care of you is also what I should do." Yu Zhibai rolled up his sleeves. His face looked better than before, and his pupils were dark.

Shang Nan moved a small bench and sat in the kitchen.

He looked at Yu Zhibai's busy back and thought about what the other party had just said. After a while, he asked softly: "Are you okay?"

The previous scene of Yu Zhibai crying was always deeply etched in Shan Nan's mind. Yu Changyue was his only relative, how could he not be sad?Even though he couldn't remember Yu Changyue, he rushed into the fire scene immediately and used his body as a buffer for Yu Changyue.Deep down in the paper man's heart, he still understands that this is his last relative in this world.

Yu Zhibai turned back and glanced at Shannan, "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, aren't they?"

"Having said that..." Shannan whispered.

"Do you prefer white pepper or black pepper?" Yu Zhibai frowned slightly and looked at the two spice bottles in his hand.

Shang Nan: "..."

Later in the night, Yu Changyue woke up. Yu Zhibai stood up and fed her a sip of water. He sat on the chair again and looked at Yu Changyue quietly.

Everything is doomed. Yu Changyue's body is weakening day by day. She may have expected her death in the near future from the beginning. The closer Yu Zhibai is to the paper man, the closer she is to death.

So she waited at home for that day to come.

Until Shang Nan appeared, and after Shang Nan appeared, Yu Zhibai started to look a little like Xiao Yu again. Yu Changyue wanted to struggle again and stay for a few more years, maybe Xiao Yu would come back.

"Do you still want to drink water?" Yu Zhibai said calmly, holding a water glass in his hand.

This is not Xiaoyu.

Yu Changyue looked at him and turned away.

After waking up, Yu Changyue didn't say a word to Yu Zhibai. When it dawned in the morning, Yu Changyue's consciousness became confused. She took a few deep breaths, her eyes widened, and finally let out a long breath., slowly closed his eyes.

Yu Changyue is dead.

Yu Zhibai lowered his eyes. After a long time, he placed the water glass on the bedside table, ignoring the discomfort that made him want to vomit from the bottom of his stomach. This was not a very sad thing for him.

It's time to prepare Nannan's breakfast.

When Shannan woke up, Yu Zhibai had already sorted out Yu Changyue's remains. Yu Xiaoyu put a red shroud on Yu Changyue. Yu Changyue's body was already stiff, and her head was elevated, with a peaceful expression.

Everything after that happened very quickly. The Yu family didn’t have many relatives or friends. The funeral was held in Yu Changyue’s hometown, a rural area. There were only two people at the funeral, Shannan and Yu Zhibai. Two paper figures with naive expressions stood on both sides of the coffin.One was Yu Xiaoyu, and the other was the semi-finished product. It took Yu Zhibai half an hour to turn the semi-finished product into a finished product.

The sky was a thin smoky gray, and thin raindrops enveloped this place as gently as mist. Water droplets fell from the eaves of the old house, hitting the grassy yard, creating small mud puddles.

Shang Nan found a few strong people nearby to help carry the coffin so that Yu Changyue could be buried smoothly. These people were all locals and knew Yu Changyue's family. When they heard that they needed help, they were unhappy at first.But after hearing that Shang Nan said that he was willing to pay, he immediately rushed to carry the coffin, and even his tone when talking to Shang Nan was flattering.

One of the men, Da Zhuang, picked up the two paper figures and shouted, "Xiao Yu really got the true legacy of Mrs. Yu."

Yu Zhibai held the paper money candle and held Shang Nan's hand without saying a word.

Although the people in the countryside had some calculations about Yu Changyue, they were still very simple in nature. They took the money and worked very efficiently.

A group of people buried Yu Changyue quickly, and used sickles to cut down all the weeds and trees around him, and bowed before leaving.

After they left, the surroundings immediately returned to silence. Birds' cries kept ringing overhead. Various birds and the canopy of the dense forest were closely together, forming a giant awning, blocking the pattering rain, but it still leaked from time to time.A few raindrops fell.

He admired the water drops falling on Nanmo's forehead and looked at the crude tomb that was quickly built in front of him.

Yu Changyue, who was still lying in the quilt yesterday, was lying in the wet little bag in front of Shan Nan today.

Next to it is Yu She's grave. It can no longer be seen that it is a grave. It is full of weeds, yellow and green. It is still winter, and in spring, a whole field of flowers will probably bloom.

Yu Zhibai lit the white candles, lit the incense, stuck them one by one in the soil, and burned a lot of paper money. The flickering firelight was imprinted on his face. He had no expression and did all this mechanically.

Shang Nan looked away from his face, squatted down and took a few incense sticks from the bag, and also took out the lighter from Yu Zhibai's pocket.

The flames were swaying under several incense sticks, and white smoke emerged from the top of the incense sticks. Shang Nanjiang closed the lighter, and the wind blew from the side. The burned incense ashes fell to the ground, and the remaining parts continued to burn..

Shang Nan was stunned for a moment, then he looked happy and said to Yu Zhibai: "Xiao Bai, the incense is lit."

The incense in Yu's house could not be lit, and she refused to leave. She couldn't worry about Yu Zhibai. At this moment, after Yu Zhibai's blackening value was cleared, she was finally willing to leave and no longer persisted in the red stone tunnel.

Yu Zhibai took the lighter from Shang Nan, opened the lid, and put the flame under Yu Xiaoyu's clothes.

Yu Xiaoyu held hands with the paper man next to her, and she happily said goodbye to Shang Nan and Yu Zhibai: "Goodbye Xiaobai, goodbye Shang Nan." She and her friends were originally prepared for Yu Changyue's death.

After Yu Changyue was buried, Shannan and Yu Zhibai rushed to the city. They took the company car, and the driver was still Li Houde. The family car couldn't let Yu Changyue lie flat, plus two paper figures.

It felt a bit crowded when we arrived, but on the way back, the car felt deserted.

After returning home, school will start.

Shang Nan hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, so he dozed off on Yu Zhibai's shoulder. Seeing Shang Nan's eyes closed, Li Houde turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

The winding mountain road has one big bend after another. On rainy days, the road is slippery and the speed is very slow. Li Houde drives carefully.

The fog descended from the top of the mountain and reached halfway up the mountain. The visibility was very low, and the sky almost looked like night.

In the haze, Shang Nan heard the sound of gongs and drums, among which the suona was the most high-pitched and harsh. The distance was getting closer and closer. He slowly raised his eyelids, but he could only half-open them, as if he was in a dream..

A group of people passed by their car. Their faces were expressionless and pale, and their steps were sloppy. The person in front was beating gongs and blowing suonas, and there was a steady stream of people following behind.

But Shannan didn't have the strength to get up. He felt like he was being held down and could only watch this group of people who were obviously not human beings pass by the car.

Until he saw Yu Xiaoyu jumping up and down, and the boy walking beside Yu Xiaoyu, the paper man that Yu Zhibai had just completed not long ago.

And, Zhang Gou.

Behind Yu Xiaoyu were two chariots. After seeing the faces of the people on them clearly, Shang Nan's heartbeat almost stopped - they were Yu Changyue who had just died and Yu She who had been dead for many years but had been stranded in the red stone tunnel.

As they passed by, the two turned and smiled at him.

Behind the chariot was a group of people who had not yet finished. Among the blue and white faces with similar looks, Shang Nan also saw several people he knew, Lu Yang and Li Rongping. The latter was slowly crawling on the ground with a ring around his neck., the person in front holds the rope.

Shangxuan, who only lives in memory but has never met; and... Dai Lili, holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in her hand, Dai Lili's expression was dull, her face was black, and she was walking in the team numbly.

This is the funeral procession. All the people who harmed Yu Changyue and Yu She have come to see them off now. They are all dead.

A trail of tears slid down Shannan's face.

The team stretched for hundreds of meters and marched slowly on the Panshang Highway. Salulu coins floated down from the top of the mountain and the sharp sound of the suona gradually faded away.

Back in the city, Shannan began to feel a little unwell.

The aunt at home called and said that Madam passed away. The aunt's voice was trembling and she said that Madam had not come down for breakfast today and did not call her. She went upstairs and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside. She boldly opened the door.Speaking of the scene she saw that day, the aunt was still frightened. She said she saw Dai Lili lying on her back on the ground, her eyes wide open, her mouth too big, and her body already hard.

Even though Shang Nan had no feelings for Dai Lili now, his body's reaction would not deceive him. When he saw Dai Lili's face in the funeral procession, Shang Nan felt uncomfortable at that time.

Shang Nan insisted on hosting the funeral. After the funeral, Shang Nan fell seriously ill. He was dizzy, coughed and vomited, and could hardly eat anything. The doctor could not find out the cause.

[14: There is such a long procession and the yin energy is so heavy. If you are hit, you will be fine after a while.]

But Yu Zhibai didn't know the reason. He asked for leave from school and watched Shang Nan day and night without sleep. When Shang Nan lay on the edge of the bed and vomited out what he had eaten, his eyes even turned red.

This situation lasted for almost a month, and in a blink of an eye, summer is almost here.

Shang Nan suddenly felt better. Yu Zhibai was doubtful. He was relieved after seeing Shang Nan eat two large bowls of rice. He clasped Shang Nan's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I thought you were going to die."

He could accept Yu Changyue's death, but Shannan could not. Just imagining Shannan's loss of life, Yu Zhibai was already thinking about how grand the funeral procession would be for Shannan, even if the whole world went to send his soul to Shannan., plus myself, it’s not enough.

Shang Nan lost weight and his eyes were bigger, like the eyes of a deer, watery and sparkling, "No, I still want to go to college with you."

"good."

When it comes to getting into college, Zhang Xueli is worried. Zhang Xueli doesn't worry about Shannan. Anyway, Shannan has more choices. What worries her is Yu Zhibai. How long has Shannan been ill? Yu Zhibai invited him.How long is the leave? If this child fails to pass the college entrance examination... Zhang Xueli suddenly thought that if Yu Zhibai fails to pass the college entrance examination, she can rely on her little boyfriend. As soon as this idea appeared, Zhang Xueli immediately pinched herself hard. As a teacher,How could such an idea arise?!

In the last mock test before the college entrance examination, Yu Zhibai's results did not change at all, and he was still ranked first in his grade. What was even more shocking was Shannan, who jumped to the 69th place.

It makes people suspect that Shan Nan is not sick, but that he secretly goes to tutor.

Zhang Hu looked at the test paper and looked at it again and again, "No, no, no, are you really sick?"

Shannan yawned, "Really, look at me, I've lost weight."

"I suspect you have undergone head transplant surgery." Zhang Hu put the paper back, "But it doesn't matter, my dad has already found someone to contact me with a foreign school."

"Shang Nan, are you going abroad?" Zhang Hu continued to ask. Most of the people in the class chose to go abroad, and a small half stayed in China.

According to Shannan's grades and family background, he could even apply to one of the top universities in the world. It would be a pity not to go.

"I'm in China." Shannan said, "Isn't it the same wherever I go?"

Zhang Hu was choked. Also, the heir to the Shang family, even if he spent four years picking up garbage after graduating from high school, he would still be able to sit on the position of the largest shareholder of the Shang family in the end.

He went to see Yu Zhibai again, "What about you?"

Yu Zhibai was answering questions without raising his head, "No."

Shannan came closer and leaned on Yu Zhibai's shoulder, "Why are you writing so seriously? You can just eat it in, and you will learn it, right?"

"That's not learned."

Shang Nan looked at Yu Zhibai for a while, applauded and commended him.

Summer passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Hu burst into tears when he went abroad. Within a few days, he started to post various daily posts on WeChat Moments. The other students were similar, and a small number of those who stayed in China had already begun to prepare for the first class of college..

Shannan and Yu Zhibai went to the same university in the capital, but they were not in the same major. Yu Zhibai studied medicine, and Shannan majored in economics and management and minored in law at the suggestion of his special assistant.I have to go to the company to observe various meetings.

Under the nagging of the special assistant, Shannan no longer wanted to stay in this world, "I have classes every day!"

[14: Are you willing to leave?]

Shang Nan: "I'm just kidding."

Yu Zhibai was extremely popular in their college. He was gentle and elegant, with excellent grades. His family was not well-off and he was lovable. He had no relatives and no one to rely on. However, the latter two items were immediately appreciated after they found out that Yu Zhibai’s target was to admire Nan.Disappeared and turned into - a poor family and a squeamish boyfriend to take care of. He had no relatives and only had a young boyfriend who was the heir to a wealthy family.

University life is as beautiful as imagined. Yu Zhibai has a good relationship with people in his major. Entering the university with the title of Hui Nanfang City's top science student, he is naturally the favorite of the counselor and class teacher.

Of course, there were many people who confessed their love to him, and love letters were even sent to Shannan's home. He was calm and could handle it easily, but if Shannan was confessed to, he wouldn't be able to calm down at all.This makes all kinds of unreasonable demands.University life is rich and colorful, with classmates from all over the country. He learned a lot from them, good and bad, white and yellow.

Scholarships, first prizes in various competitions, the first paper published in the top medical journals in the profession, Yu Zhibai slowly began to do experiments with his senior brothers and sisters, applied for projects with teachers, and was recommended for master's and doctoral degrees...

It was almost smooth sailing for him, and he became a role model for many younger students. He was also invited back to his alma mater to participate in many activities.

He made zero mistakes at work, and it took him less than ten years to go from being an intern to the director of a major surgery department where patients would rather wait in line to perform surgeries than anyone else before or since.

Outside the industry, he is called the most compassionate doctor. Only the most compassionate doctor can truly understand the patient's pain and end the patient's suffering.

In fact, it was not the case. Yu Zhibai loved Shang Nan, so by the way, he fell in love with this world and other people in this world.

While Yu Zhibai was being praised all the time, Shan Nan was doing 180 sets of Tai Chi with a group of old fritters in the company.

But no matter what, he was still more relaxed than Yu Zhibai. If he didn't want to do it anymore, he could leave it to his assistant and secretary, but Yu Zhibai couldn't. The hospital could be without anyone, but it couldn't be without Yu Zhibai.

Shang Nan thought, this is probably what Yu Changyue and Yu She want. They hope that Yu Zhibai will have a successful career and a smooth and healthy life.

In the evening, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Shang Nan drove to the hospital to pick up Yu Zhibai after get off work. Yu Zhibai had learned a driver's license from university, but he never had his own car. He said he didn't like driving.

Later, under further pressure from Nannan, he said that if he had a car, Nannan would not pick him up from get off work.

It's unreasonable that this is the idea.

The paper man is now more than ten years old. Compared with before, he is more childish and more thoughtful.

Standing at the entrance of the hospital, the cool and pleasant summer evening wind blew from behind. Shang Nan was wearing a short T-shirt and jeans. He had a tender face and looked like a young man in his early 10s.

Yu Zhibai's assistant ran out of the elevator and saw Shannan. He hurriedly went over and said, "Director Yu will be coming down soon. He asked me to come over and tell you to wait a little longer. He will take you to eat delicious food later."of."

Shannan: "..." Let him wait and understand. There is no need to tell others about eating delicious food.

After the assistant left, 14 appeared.

[14: Today is the deadline. I am going offline. Do you want to leave?]

Shannan still answered the same, "I'm not leaving, we'll see you in the next world."

[14: You have thought about it.]

After so many years, Shannan had already thought about it. He knew that 14 was worried about him, worried that he would not be able to deal with the paper man alone, worried that he would be injured in this world, but he couldn't bear to leave Yu Zhibai alone in this world..

"Think about it." Shannan said firmly.

14 hasn't left yet, Shannan can feel it, but he doesn't make a sound.

Not long after, Yu Zhibai came out of the elevator, walked through the long corridor, and came to the hospital lobby. He saw Shannan at a glance, and Shannan also saw him at a glance.

Yu Zhibai is much more mature than when he was a student. He also wears glasses and his temperament is more elegant. But only he knows whether he is really short-sighted.

He walked up to Shannan, lowered his head and kissed Shannan on the forehead, and took his hand towards the parking lot. "A colleague recommended a restaurant with fresh and sweet taste. I think you will like it."

Shang Nan nodded.

Meanwhile, 14 said goodbye.

Shannan was stunned.

After a moment of silence, Shannan replied, "Goodbye."

Not long after, Shannan could no longer feel the presence of 14, and the other party went offline.

The car is driving in the traffic, and every car has a hard time moving during rush hours and weekends.

It was actually very beautiful at night when we returned to Nanfang. The ginkgo trees were completely covered with a thick layer of green in midsummer, and the colorful neon lights lit up half of the sky.

Yu Zhibai sat in the driver's seat and softly told Shannan that the weather might get colder in the next few days, so it was best to wear more clothes when going out.

"I'm going to the capital for a consultation next week. Don't eat randomly at home. I..."

"Xiao Bai, let's get married." Shang Nan interrupted, turning to look at Yu Zhibai with a smile.

No one among them has mentioned this matter. Yu Zhibai should be very similar to humans, but they have never mentioned it because Shan Nan didn't mention it. The more like humans, the less Yu Zhibai dared to mention it easily.

Shannan thought that they should have gotten married long ago, held a wedding, and asked all their friends to be witnesses. They were no longer each other's lovers, they were each other's spouses, and they would support each other and love each other until they grow old.

The car was parked at an intersection, and the light happened to be red.

Yu Zhibai showed his face as a paper man, and his bloody lips sucked Shang Nan's lip fluid until it became red and swollen. He lowered his eyes, his white eyelids blocking his dark eyes, "Happy wedding."

Shang Nan: "...You have to get a certificate before you get married."

Paper Man: "Oh."

·"Paper Work" completed
