Lima syndrome

Bai Zhiyan didn't expect that he would suddenly grab him. He was not used to being touched like this, and he got goose bumps all over his body.

He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and continued to perform without moving. "I'm not sad. I'm just worried that they are talking about me again and saying something about me. I don't want the monitor to misunderstand me."

When Xu Shiyuan heard him say this, he couldn't help but think a lot. He was worried that he would misunderstand him. Doesn't that mean that he was afraid that he would quarrel with him, break up with him, or even go their separate ways?

"It's okay. I won't believe anything anyone says except you."

What a mess this guy is talking about. Bai Zhiyan just wants to find out some information, but none of his answers are what he wants to know. Could it be that nothing happened at all?

He fell into deep thought, and began to think about all the possible unexpected situations.

Xu Shiyuan found his absent-minded look interesting and tapped his palm with his thumb unconsciously.

Bai Zhiyan was so frightened that he pulled back his hand and leaned back suddenly, looking at him in shock.

"Squad leader, you..."

Xu Shiyuan's hand was still suspended in mid-air. He withdrew his hand naturally without changing his expression. His previous action was indeed a bit out of line. No wonder Bai Zhiyan was scared. But he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Obviously, someone could bite and suck on him, but he just touched his hand and he reacted so strongly. Was he afraid that he had some infectious disease?

When Xu Shiyuan thought of the marks on his body, his face turned ugly again. He lowered his voice and stood up, "It's almost time for class, Zhiyan, I'll go back first, you have a good rest, I'll come to see you after school."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Bai Zhiyan's reply and left with the lunch box.

Bai Zhiyan, who was still in a defensive posture, had a confused mind. How could this man be so changeable, sometimes gentle and sometimes cold? He thought Xu Shiyuan was relatively normal compared to the other two, but now it seemed that he was also seriously ill.

As soon as school was over, Bai Zhiyan immediately left the infirmary and went to the school gate to find driver Zhou. How could he really stay and wait for Xu Shiyuan to come find him?

"Um..." As soon as he got in the car, he saw the driver Zhou hesitating. He rubbed his hands and looked up at the rearview mirror, "Master Zhiyan, President Bai will be home today."

Tsk, I have to meet that old guy again.

"okay, I get it."

Seeing his flat tone, Driver Zhou didn't know what to say. He just responded and said nothing more.

When Bai Zhiyan returned home, Bai Zhengren was already sitting in the hall. He was talking about work with Bai Jita in a leisurely manner. When he saw Bai Zhiyan coming back, he just glanced at him, then turned his gaze away and blatantly ignored him.

Although Bai Zhiyan wanted to treat him as a dead man, his mind told him not to. He suppressed his disgust and pretended to be well-behaved as he approached the two men, "Father, brother, I'm back."

Hearing Bai Zhiyan's voice, Bai Jitai raised his eyebrows and looked up at him. At this time, the other party was bending over with his head lowered, without any other movements. This guy would only pretend to call him brother when Bai Zhengren was around, and usually he would even want to call him by his full name.

Although he knew he was acting, Bai Jitai still enjoyed being called brother because he knew Bai Zhiyan was unwilling to do so. The more uncomfortable he was, the happier Bai Jitai was.

"Okay, go do your own thing."

Bai Zhengren didn't even bother to give him a glance, and still kept his head down looking at the documents on the coffee table.

So Bai Zhiyan nodded and prepared to go upstairs to his room. He didn't care what Bai Zhengren's attitude towards him was. It would be better if he was a little indifferent. This way, he wouldn't have to endure the disgust and pretend to be nice to him.

"Don't go yet, Zhiyan. The coffee that Butler Li just made is in the kitchen. Can you get it for me?" Bai Jitai called out to Bai Zhiyan who had already turned around, and looked at him teasingly.

"it is good."

This childish trick was not worth mentioning to Bai Zhiyan. He turned around and walked towards the kitchen, brought the coffee steadily and placed it in front of him.

Bai Jitai's fingers accidentally scratched the back of his hand when he withdrew his hand. It was just a small action that no one noticed, but Bai Zhiyan quickly withdrew his hand as if he had touched something dirty, frowned coldly, and rubbed the touched hand on his pants a few times.

He didn't want to stay here so he suppressed his disgust and immediately got up and left.

"President, someone is coming——"

As Bai Zhiyan just stepped up the stairs, he heard a commotion outside the door. The servants in the house were shouting outside in panic, as if someone had come.

"What a noise!" Bai Zhengren was dissatisfied with the servant's panic shouting. He pinched his nose, stood up and walked towards the door.

"President Bai——"

A clear and pure young male voice was heard, and everyone in the hall turned their heads to look.

A young man with a well-proportioned figure and a cool and gentle temperament came out first, followed by several people in police uniforms.

Almost in an instant, this group of people had all entered the hall and gathered in unison around the man in the lead, while the man standing in the middle held up a piece of paper.

The pleasant voice sounded again: "President Bai, someone anonymously reported that you were hiding drugs at home. This is a search warrant. Please cooperate with us."

After hearing what he said, the servants in the house began to whisper and talk. Bai Jitai was shocked and looked at this group of "uninvited guests" with a grim face.

Only Bai Zhiyan's eyes were fixed on the man. This was a face he could not forget, and it was the fleeting warmth in his life. His mind was blank and he could not hear any sound around him. There was only the man in front of him in his eyes, as if the world was silent and there were only the two of them in the world at this moment.

"Excuse me, what is your name?" Bai Zhengren remained calm and not at all flustered. He walked back to the sofa and even casually spread his legs and leaned back in a relaxed posture.

"I'm Ji Seung-hoon, the prosecutor of the Seoul District Headquarters." He ignored Baek Jung-in's disdainful tone, walked up to him with the search warrant in hand, and said in a businesslike manner: "Please cooperate."

Bai Zhiyan's gaze followed his movements, as if he could never see enough, staring at him without blinking.

He is still so handsome, Bai Zhiyan thought.

In his previous life, he met Ji Seung-hoon late at night. In order to humiliate him, Bai Ji-tae took him to a bar full of Bai Ji-tae's cronies. They knew that Bai Zhiyan was an illegitimate son, and they insulted and tortured him in the box, saying all kinds of dirty words and ordering him around, just to please Bai Ji-tae.

Just when Bai Zhiyan was in a daze and didn't know how much wine the group of people had forced him to drink and how many wounds he had on his knees, he felt someone reaching a hand into his clothes. The restless hand wandered over his body and even pinched his chest. Bai Zhiyan's brain became clear instantly. His fear of that man was greater than Bai Jitai's punishment for his disobedience. He pushed the hand away and ran desperately out of that cannibalistic place.

He ran wildly all the way and stumbled and fell countless times. Finally, he was so tired that he hid in an alley and sat down against a dirty wall.

Ji Seung-hoon showed up at this time. He had originally been having dinner with colleagues from the same department. After two dinners, he was so drunk that he had to stop and relax.

Bai Zhiyan was not sure whether Bai Jitai's men had caught up with him, and he wanted to wait for the man to pass by without making any noise. However, the man actually walked towards him. He stood up like a frightened bird and pressed his body tightly against the wall.

Ji Chengxun just wanted to find a trash can to vomit. He didn't know there were people here. When he raised his eyes, his gaze met Bai Zhiyan's.

What emotions do those eyes convey?

Frightened? Suffering? Just like a wounded cat, it is obviously very scared but still arches its body high in a defensive posture.

He might be very drunk and ignored his guard. He only felt that the boy's eyes were filled with the entire Milky Way, and the tiny starlight in his eyes sparkled in this dark and damp alley.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." He used the worst opening remarks to comfort the frightened boy.

"Really, I'm a prosecutor. Look if you don't believe me." He took out his ID and put it in front of Bai Zhiyan, which made his body relax slightly.

"Please move aside."

Bai Zhiyan felt slightly relieved after knowing the other party's identity, but he didn't want to waste any more time here. If he didn't escape, Bai Jitai would find him sooner or later.

It seemed that it was because of the innate sense of justice that came with his profession, Ji Chengxun looked at the red and swollen scars on the boy's face and did not move out of the way.

"What's wrong with your face?" he asked.

"I fell accidentally." Bai Zhiyan didn't want to continue to argue with him. He looked at the intersection anxiously and just wanted to leave quickly.

Chi Chengxun was not stupid and he knew at a glance that these were marks of being beaten. He looked at the boy's uneasy expression and roughly understood that he was being abused.

"Stop looking and follow me."

"what?"

Bai Zhiyan then withdrew his gaze and looked at the man's face in disbelief.

The man was not sober, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. Under his three-dimensional outline, there was only a pair of eyes staring straight at him. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, his black and white eyes were covered with a layer of mist, making Bai Zhiyan unable to see his true intentions.

So he was wondering if this man was drunk and unconscious, and wanted to take someone home just after meeting him. If he hadn't seen his ID just now, he would have thought this man was a pervert.

"You ran away from home, didn't you? You don't look rich to me. Are you an adult? It's so dangerous out there at night. Where can you go? Living on the streets? You can come back with me first. I'll take you to the police station tomorrow."

"I'm an adult..." Bai Zhiyan stammered and refuted this sentence without saying anything else.

Because what he said was right. If Bai Zhiyan went home in his current situation, he would be seeking death. He was penniless and could only wander the streets. Rather than wandering around the streets and guarding against malicious homeless people, it might be better to choose to go with him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Chengxun was thinking that he seemed to be too nosy. He was about to turn around and make way for him when Bai Zhiyan grabbed his sleeve.

"Please take me away, Mr. Prosecutor."

"Then you have to follow me closely, little friend."

However, the drunken young prosecutor, who was overwhelmed by his sense of justice, did not realize that he could only help him temporarily, but not forever.

His memories were interrupted by Bai Jitai's push. He looked at Bai Zhiyan's gentle and soft face towards the prosecutor, his eyes shining as he stared at the man motionlessly, and a surge of anger inexplicably rose in his heart.

So he pushed him in annoyance and asked, "What are you looking at so intently?"

Bai Zhiyan was not annoyed when he was pushed back to reality from his memory. His eyes were still closely following Chi Chengxun. He responded without raising his head: "I didn't see anything."

His eyes were almost growing onto the other person's body, yet he still said he didn't see anything. Bai Jitai became angry and forcibly turned his body over to stop his eager gaze.

"What are you doing?" Bai Zhiyan thought that Bai Jitai was having another attack and now he didn't care about Bai Zhengren or outsiders.

"Let's worry about the present first."

The anonymous report on Bai Zhengren must not be groundless, but Bai Zhengren's nonchalant look can only mean that he had been prepared for it, or he did not hide any drugs at all.

Bai Zhiyan's brain was working rapidly. In his previous life, his meeting with Ji Chengxun was purely an accident and had nothing to do with the Bai family. Moreover, his house had never been searched in his previous life, and he had never heard of Bai Zhengren taking drugs.

From this, it seems possible that his rebirth changed the timeline, but combined with the uncertain appearance of Cha Kyung-chan and Ji Seung-hoon, it means that the appearance of these characters will also be implicated, but their personalities will not change. He wonders if Baek Jung-in didn't take drugs at all, then what is the purpose of this group of people appearing here?

While he was still thinking, Bai Zhengren had already finished the negotiations and asked the group to start searching the house.

The group of people put on their equipment in an orderly manner and began to search bit by bit. During this time, Chi Chengxun stood by and gave instructions from time to time. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he remained calm and did not show any sign of fatigue.

But Bai Zhiyan didn't want him to be tired, so he diligently brought a chair and placed it next to him, looking at him nervously, "Mr. Prosecutor, please sit down for a while."

Hearing his voice, Chi Chengxun looked up at him, a calm and indifferent look, without any ups and downs or emotional changes. Then Bai Zhiyan heard: "No, thank you."

Bai Zhengren sneered at the scene where Bai Zhiyan tried to curry favor with outsiders but was rejected. He really raised a good dog, who was cold to his owner but wagged his tail at outsiders who wanted to search his house.

Bai Jitai's thoughts coincided with Bai Zhengren's. He thought Bai Zhiyan was ridiculous when he was rejected, but he couldn't help thinking that this young prosecutor was really arrogant. He refused to appreciate the host's child's personal move of a chair for him. He was such an ignorant person.

When the father and son sneered at Bai Zhiyan's behavior, Bai Zhiyan just smiled at Ji Chengxun and moved the chair back.

He was careless because he was happy for a moment. Ji Seung-hoon's colleagues were still working hard. If he accepted the host's chair and sat down easily, his colleagues would definitely have opinions about him. Although Ji Seung-hoon didn't say anything, Bai Zhiyan felt that he could see through his thoughts.

After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Zhiyan returned to his original place and looked at Ji Chengxun who was directing the work with a smile, but his gaze was too hot and Ji Chengxun could no longer pretend not to see it.

So he turned to face Bai Zhiyan and asked, "Have you and I known each other before?"
