Lima syndrome

In his two lives combined, Bai Zhiyan had watched movies only a handful of times. Who would have thought that one day he would go out to watch a movie with Bai Jita.

When Bai Zhiyan walked into the cinema, he saw Bai Jitai talking to the front desk, apparently wanting to book the entire theater.

This psychopath!

He quickly stepped forward to pull Bai Jitai, lowering his voice and scolding him, "Are you sick? Just watch the movie normally. If you like to watch it in a private theater, why don't you watch it in the screening room at home!"

Bai Jitai raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw his serious look, "Okay, I'll go along with you this time."

Bai Zhiyan didn't care what he said this time. He rolled his eyes at him and prepared to see what movies there were to watch today.

In fact, he didn't want to be alone in the same space with Bai Jitai. God knew what he would do. The thought of watching a movie alone with the two of them made his hair stand on end.

"Why are there only romance and horror movies?" Bai Zhiyan wanted to die when he saw the movies that would be shown today.

"Which one do you want to see?"

After hearing Bai Jitai's question, Bai Zhiyan wanted to say that he didn't want to watch any of them.

Unless he was crazy, he would watch a romance movie with Bai Jitai. As for horror movies... Bai Zhiyan could admit in a cowardly way that he might have a nightmare after watching them.

He suddenly remembered the last experience he had in the haunted house with Cha Kyung-chan and Lee Sun-woo. He was a little scared before going in, but in order to establish an image in front of Lee Sun-woo, he agreed to go and play with the children.

It turned out to be not as scary as he had imagined, because Che Jingcan kept yelling and screaming, so he didn't have time to be afraid and kept scolding him the whole time.

Bai Zhiyan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Che Jingcan's stupid and sad look at that time.

"I asked you which one you wanted to see, why are you still laughing?"

Bai Jitai saw that he was smiling and his mood seemed to improve, so he also smiled and rubbed his head.

"Did I laugh?"

Bai Zhiyan came back to his senses and touched his face. Feeling the corners of his mouth turn up, his face instantly stiffened. He thought he was really crazy.

"Well, you smiled." Bai Jitaek pinched Bai Zhiyan's face again like he was teasing a child. The flesh felt good.

"Don't touch me!" Bai Zhiyan opened his hand, "Choose a movie, let's watch a horror movie."

"Okay." Bai Jitai curled his lips and didn't care.

After buying the tickets, Bai Zhiyan also bought a bucket of popcorn. In the past, when he watched a movie and didn’t want to spend more money, he could only watch others eat. But this time, Bai Jitai was paying, so he had to have a try.

Bai Jitai looked at Bai Zhiyan, who was happily holding a bucket of popcorn beside him, and his lips curled up unconsciously.

The two entered the theater. Bai Zhiyan turned around and looked at the people around him. He found that those who came to watch the movie were either couples or close friends. Only two men were sitting together, which made them feel out of place.

After putting aside all random thoughts and sitting down, the movie started quickly. The scenes at the beginning were not very scary, just a little weird. Bai Zhiyan still managed to pretend to be calm.

As the plot progressed, the atmosphere of horror became more and more intense. When a ghost suddenly appeared on the screen, Bai Zhiyan was so frightened that he almost screamed, and he subconsciously grabbed the hand of the person next to him.

Bai Jitai lowered his eyes to look at the hand that was tightly holding his, raised the corner of his mouth, gently turned his head to Bai Zhiyan's ear and said frivolously, "What are you doing? Don't touch me."

"Huh?" When Bai Zhiyan heard him choke him with what he had just said, his whole face turned red, and he did not forget to glare at him when he withdrew his hand.

The movie had reached its climax, Bai Zhiyan tried to calm himself down, but his heart was still pounding. However, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a cold hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

"Ah!" Bai Zhiyan's voice overlapped with the scream of the movie protagonist, and he was so scared that he almost jumped out of his seat.

"Hahaha..." A low laugh came from Bai Jitai.

"You, you scare me!" Bai Zhiyan glared at him angrily.

Bai Jitai smiled even more happily. Even in such a dim environment, Bai Zhiyan could see the dimples faintly visible on his cheeks.

"coward."

He pronounced these words in a clear, hoarse and low voice. There was a gleam in his eyes that Bai Zhiyan had never seen before. His tough facial features were reflected into soft lines by the light of the big screen.

It was not until then that Bai Zhiyan suddenly understood why some people said that they looked alike.

"No, I'm not, you childish guy." Bai Zhiyan retorted in a low voice, unwilling to be outdone.

"No, what did you just yell—"

Before he could finish his words, Bai Zhiyan grabbed a handful of popcorn and interrupted him.

Seeing Bai Jitai's face covered with popcorn crumbs, Bai Zhiyan was in a good mood, "Sure enough, I bought the right popcorn."

Bai Jitai chewed and swallowed the popcorn in his mouth, then wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth. Seeing Bai Zhiyan's smug face, he didn't scare him again.

Suddenly, a terrifying sound effect was heard in the movie. Bai Zhiyan was startled and leaned towards Bai Jita involuntarily. The popcorn in his hand flew and fell all over Bai Jita.

Bai Jitai, who had just wiped his face clean, looked at the debris all over his body and asked him with gritted teeth: "You...Bai Zhiyan, did you do this on purpose?"

Bai Zhiyan, who was still immersed in shock, couldn't help laughing when he saw his embarrassed look, "We're even."

Bai Jitai didn't bother with him. He laughed secretly in his heart and deliberately reached out to put his arm around Bai Zhiyan's shoulders and pulled him closer.

Bai Zhiyan froze and felt a heat rushing to his cheeks. He tried to break free from Bai Jitai's arms, but he held him tightly, making him unable to move.

"Let me see how you throw things around again." Bai Jita said close to Bai Zhiyan's ear, and his warm breath blew on his neck, causing a tingling sensation.

"cut."

Fortunately, there are no more horror scenes until the end of the movie.

The two of them watched the movie peacefully and it was already afternoon when they went out. Bai Jitai suggested going out for dinner, but Bai Zhiyan still objected and said he wanted to go back.

"If you insist on going back, you will be the one to cook dinner."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyan almost laughed out of anger, "Why, Bai Jitai, am I your slave?"

Bai Jitai actually thought about this question seriously, and then nodded, "It can be in the future."

"It's a ghost, you pervert!"

The two of them were walking outside and arguing all the way. Before Bai Zhiyan noticed, they had already walked to the door of a restaurant. Only when he saw the familiar decoration style did Bai Zhiyan come to his senses.

This is...the restaurant where he had his first meal with Cha Kyung-chan.

Bai Zhiyan unconsciously thought of Che Jingcan and turned his face away, his mood instantly dropped. It was also that day that he accidentally gave him the cat keychain.

Bai Jitai noticed that Bai Zhiyan suddenly became quiet, and followed his gaze to see the name of the store.

"Forget it?"

What a strange name! Bai Jitai looked at Bai Zhiyan who was standing there in a daze. "Do you want to eat at this restaurant?"

He was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I don't want to."

He was about to turn around and leave, but in the next second he saw someone who shouldn't be here at the moment.

Che Kyung-chan.

Many years later, when Bai Zhiyan woke up from a nightmare, he would still remember his eyes at that moment, which was even more intense than when he was at Che's house before.

Bai Zhiyan couldn't describe his expression. First, when he saw his lifeless eyes looking at him, there was a spark of fire, and then there was frost that was hard to melt like the frost on the snow-capped peaks that had existed for thousands of years.

His mixed emotions of ice and fire were unpredictable.

“Zhiyan…”

This was the first time Bai Zhiyan heard him calling his name again after many days.

Originally, what Bai Zhiyan hated most was being called by his name, because it always reminded him of the time when he was bullied in his previous life.

But he didn't know when his mood changed. He seldom remembered the things in his previous life, and even now when Che Jingcan called his name again, the fear in his heart had long disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sour feeling.

Che Jingcan has been depressed for many days. He can't wait for Yin Meishan to wake up from her coma, and he can't see Bai Zhiyan who pushes him away every time. So he revisits the old place to find the place where he and he had memories.

The unrequited love turned him into a foolish man trying to find a sword by carving a mark on a boat.

But he didn't think he was stupid until he saw Bai Zhiyan appear at the door of the store and he was convinced that he was right.

Che Jingcan walked slowly towards Bai Zhiyan, and every step seemed to carry a heavy burden. Bai Zhiyan looked at him with mixed feelings.

Finally, he stood in front of Bai Zhiyan and looked at him with complicated eyes, "Zhiyan, are you... okay recently?"

Bai Zhiyan's brain was in a mess and he hadn't figured out whether he should leave this place of trouble at this moment, when Bai Jitai suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Zhiyan.

"Nice to meet you again, Master Che." Bai Jitai looked at Che Jingcan with a warning in his eyes.

He should have greeted him in response, but the moment Che Jingcan saw Bai Zhiyan, he had lost the rationality he had accumulated over the past few days.

"Zhiyan, Zhiyan, are you okay? I really miss you after not seeing you for so many days."

With every word he said, Bai Jitai's brows furrowed more. Just as he was about to interrupt Che Jingcan, Bai Zhiyan behind him spoke.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Hearing his answer, Bai Jitai turned around and looked at him, but Bai Zhiyan was not looking at him. His dark eyes were fixed on Che Jingcan.

The sparks that kept flickering in Che Jingcan's eyes had now turned into a raging fire because of Bai Zhiyan's reply.

“I can’t get in touch with you no matter what, Zhiyan.”

His voice was clearly full of fatigue, but Bai Zhiyan still heard a hint of complaint in it, just like how he usually acted like a spoiled child to her when he was unhappy.

"I……"

Bai Zhiyan suddenly paused. He didn't know how to respond to him. Bai Jitai was right beside him at the moment, and he would make mistakes if he said too much.

"But I came here unconsciously today when I was thinking about you, and I didn't expect that I would actually see you."

There was joy in his tone, and when he wanted to get closer to Bai Zhiyan to continue expressing his feelings, Bai Jitai stood in front of him again.

"Master Che, even if we want to play house as children, there should be a limit, right?"

His tone was icy cold. Bai Zhiyan heard the anger in his words. He didn't want the two of them to fight here. What's more, he had already made up his mind to stay away from Che Jingcan and couldn't give him the chance to fantasize.

Che Jingcan met Bai Jitai's fierce eyes without fear and said firmly, "This is a matter between me and Zhiyan. Director Bai, please get out of the way."

"What happened between you and Bai Zhiyan?" Bai Jitai sneered, "Who do you think you are? In what capacity are you making such irresponsible remarks here?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me? That's ridiculous. I'm his brother, he's mine, and I'm in charge of everything that happens to him!"

After hearing this, Che Jingcan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Bai Zhiyan, who was terrified, and chuckled at him, "Director Bai, what era is it now? Are you still playing the game of monarch, minister, father and brother? Control your excessive desire for control."

"You!" Bai Jitai glared at Che Jingcan, veins bulging on his forehead.

This sentence sounded familiar. Bai Zhiyan had said it to him before. He didn't expect to hear it again from Che Jingcan's mouth.

Che Jingcan ignored his anger and continued to look at Bai Zhiyan affectionately, "Zhiyan, come with me, okay? I have a lot to say to you."

"I……"

Bai Zhiyan only said one word, and Che Jingcan couldn't wait to step forward and hold his hand.

"Even for a moment, a lot has happened to me recently, I really have a lot-"

"Let him go!"

Bai Jitai punched Che Jingcan in the face without caring that this was a public place, and he also let go of Bai Zhiyan's hand.

Not expecting him to suddenly take action, Bai Zhiyan exclaimed and subconsciously went to help Che Jingcan.

"Bai Zhiyan, you dare to help him."

Bai Jitai stopped Bai Zhiyan's actions with just a few words. He exuded murderous aura, like a fighting beast, about to tear apart everything in front of him. At this time, Bai Zhiyan really didn't dare to resist him.

He put away his stiff arms and when he looked up he met Che Kyung-chan's hurt eyes. That deep resentment would pierce his chest and reach his heart even if Bai Zhiyan closed his eyes.

“Zhiyan…”

Che Jingcan's slightly aggrieved voice passed through his eardrums, but Bai Zhiyan had already woken up. Since he wanted to sever his improper feelings and past with Che Jingcan, he should not be soft-hearted towards him anymore.

To leave him hope is to sow the seeds of pain for oneself, and one day this seed will turn into a raging fire and burn out the heart that he has painstakingly rebuilt.

"Che Jingcan, stop bothering me. I've said this many times."

"do not want!"

Hearing him say this again, Che Jingcan immediately stood up and tried to hold him.

But Bai Zhiyan frowned, lowered his head, retreated behind Bai Jitai, and gently pulled his sleeve.

Bai Jitai was stunned. He had not expected that he would hide behind him. He raised the corners of his mouth and his face was full of joy.

Che Jingcan looked at Bai Zhiyan hiding behind Bai Jitae, his face became paler and paler, "Zhiyan, why are you..." there was despair in his voice.

Bai Zhiyan turned his face away, bit his lip, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Bai Jitai took Bai Zhiyan's hand and looked at Che Jingcan provocatively, "Good boy, let's go home."

Che Jingcan looked at their intertwined hands, his body trembling, "Ji Yan, I won't give up!"
