Lima syndrome

"Yes, Jingcan, he was the one who beat me up and put me in the hospital! You must help me teach him a lesson today!" Gao Enshuo thought that Che Jingcan would support him, and his arrogance was rampant.

"So every time I see you you always have injuries on your body, is that why?"

He said this to Bai Zhiyan.

Bai Zhiyan just glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

"Did he kick you in the stomach just now?"

Seeing Che Jingcan talking to Bai Zhiyan, even the most dull person would have realized that these two people knew each other.

But Go Eun-seok has no brains.

"Jingcan, didn't you say you would help me deal with him? Why are you asking him these questions?" He was a little anxious and grabbed Che Jingcan's arm and called him.

"Shut up, don't even think about touching him." Che Jingcan scolded him. He didn't know at that time that this person was Bai Zhiyan, so he said that.

"Why are you telling me to shut up? You just said that you can do whatever you want to him if he doesn't obey you and you knock him out. Why are you suddenly changing your mind now?"

His words were clearly heard by everyone. Bai Zhiyan glanced at Gao Enshuo, then at Che Jingcan, with contempt in his eyes evident.

Che Jingcan was panicking. He was worried that Bai Zhiyan would believe him, so he immediately stopped him and said, "Shut up, damn it! When did I ever say anything like that?"

However, Gao Enshuo didn't show any expression and continued, "Just now, Jingcan, the brothers heard it too."

The younger brothers gathered around didn't dare to say anything casually, as they were much more perceptive than Gao Enshuo.

"Heh--" Bai Zhiyan looked at them as if he was watching a poorly acted play, which was extremely ridiculous.

After hearing Bai Zhiyan's cold snort, Che Jingcan felt a chill in his heart.

"I never said that, you're looking for death!" Che Jingcan punched him in the face and kicked him far away.

The people around were frightened by this sudden change and didn't dare to breathe. The younger brothers were also tactful and turned their backs to form a human wall to shield the people in the center of the storm.

Seeing this situation, no one in the class dared to look anymore.

Bai Zhiyan ignored all this, but slowly straightened the tilted table and chairs, picked up the scattered books and tidied up his desk.

Che Jingcan was a little afraid to face him. He stood beside him and helped him tidy up the tables and chairs. "How are you? Does the wound still hurt?"

Thinking of the bruises on Bai Zhiyan's abdomen, Che Jingcan's heart skipped a beat. He now felt that he was ridiculous before. Every time he saw him, there was always new wounds on his body. He even had the nerve to ask him how they came about. He never imagined that they were all caused by his own men.

"Did he hurt you just now? Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"

Seeing Che Jingcan's cautious look, Gao Enshuo, who was lying on the ground, was greatly shocked. How could these two people know each other!

"You can hit me if you want, but please let my friends go first." Bai Zhiyan's voice was as cold as frost and snow, without a trace of warmth.

"I told you I won't hit you."

Che Jingcan glared at Gao Enshuo hatefully, turned around and waved his hand to let his younger brothers let the man go.

As soon as the younger brothers let go, Xu Shiyuan rushed to Bai Zhiyan like a rocket. He grabbed Bai Zhiyan's shoulders, lifted his arm and observed it carefully inch by inch.

"Zhiyan, your arm is all scraped. Does it hurt? I'll take you to the infirmary to apply some medicine?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Bai Zhiyan was almost used to his nagging like an old lady.

Xu Shiyuan suddenly remembered the way his mother blew on his wound when he was a child. He followed suit, gently holding Bai Zhiyan's arm and leaning his face closer, and imitated his mother's tone to comfort him.

"I'll blow on you, and it won't hurt anymore."

Feeling his warm breath gently brushing against his wound, Bai Zhiyan didn't feel any pain, just a little itchy. He shrank slightly, chuckled, and punched him in the chest.

"I told you it doesn't hurt, let go now."

Liu Zhimin also came over shyly at this time, because she was still a little afraid of Xu Shiyuan and didn't dare to get too close. She just whispered a few words of concern to Bai Zhiyan.

Bai Zhiyan smiled and rubbed her head to reassure her.

Che Jingcan, who was standing aside, felt isolated for the first time. It was also the first time he saw Bai Zhiyan smile, but he was not smiling at him.

An inexplicable anger burned in his heart. He couldn't explain this strange feeling, but he felt very unhappy when he saw Bai Zhiyan, Xu Shiyuan and Liu Zhimin standing together.

He wanted to say something else, but the bell for class rang. All the people who had watched the show had enjoyed it to their heart's content and returned to their normal state to prepare for class.

"Don't worry about me, just listen to the class carefully." Bai Zhiyan persuaded Xu Shiyuan and Liu Zhimin to leave, pulled out a chair and sat down calmly, not seeming to care at all about what had just happened.

Seeing that Che Jingcan didn't say anything, the other brothers helped Gao Enshuo back to their seats. Everyone sat down, only Che Jingcan stood there like a lonely man. He felt like he was left out, separated by an invisible barrier.

He pulled the chair next to Bai Zhiyan and sat next to him, but in fact this was originally his seat.

Che Jingcan turned around and looked at him, "Hey, Dead Fish Face, how is the wound on your stomach? Were you kicked just now?"

Bai Zhiyan didn't look away and didn't spare him a single glance.

"I didn't know that the person who had been bullying you was Gao Enshuo. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have..."

So what?

Even if he knew, what could he do? The damage Gao Enshuo had done to him had already been done. Could he just say a few words and pretend it never happened?

Che Jingcan was upset and didn't know how to face him. He had never apologized to anyone in his life, and this was not a problem that could be solved by an apology.

"I will tell Gao Enshuo not to bother you again in the future."

Bai Zhiyan still didn't say anything.

The feeling of being ignored is very uncomfortable. Che Jingcan's hot temper can't stand the cold violence. He couldn't hold back his temper and pulled Bai Zhiyan's arm, but accidentally touched the wound that was scratched when he fell just now. Bai Zhiyan immediately took a breath of cold air.

"hiss--"

Knowing that he had made a mistake again, Che Jingcan shuddered and immediately withdrew his hand, "I didn't mean to do that, are you okay?"

Bai Zhiyan finally turned his head to look at him, his eyes were indifferent and his voice was flat, "You always tell me that you didn't mean it, but I always feel pain because of your carelessness. If all the wrong things can be explained away by saying 'I didn't mean it', then I should be nailed to the cross now."

Bai Zhiyan had wanted to tell him these words a long time ago. In his last life, he was bullied and no one apologized to him. It was still the same in this life. Even if he explained, what would it matter? What was the point of using such a pale excuse to excuse himself after things had already happened?

When a person who has been tortured and humiliated and feels like dying finally gets a casual “I didn’t mean it” from the abuser, will he smile and say “Oh, is that so? Then you should be more careful next time”? Can he forget all the painful memories and reconcile with the abuser freely just because of one sentence?

"I..." Che Jingcan was speechless. He knew that whatever he said now would sound like quibbling. It was an indisputable fact that he and his men had hurt him.

"And what Gao Enshuo said just now. He said you told him, 'If you don't listen and knock him out, you can't do whatever you want to him.' You did say that, didn't you?" Bai Zhiyan looked at Che Jingcan, who had an ugly face in front of him, without any emotion fluctuation.

"Fuck, that's not what I said at all! What I said was—"

What does it mean? "After knocking someone unconscious and tying him up, you can't beat him however you want."

He discovered painfully that there was no difference between the two.

"Stop, I don't care what you really said. I just want to ask you, if the person you saw today was not me, but someone else, would you help Gao Enshuo beat him up?"

Che Jingcan had never seen Bai Zhiyan's aggressive side before. He knew that Bai Zhiyan had a strong self-esteem, a thin skin and a body full of sharp thorns, but when his thorns pierced himself, he realized how painful it was.

"I……"

He couldn't say the three words "I can't". He didn't want to tell such an unconvincing lie, nor did he want to lie to Bai Zhiyan's pure eyes.

"You will." Bai Zhiyan simply said it for him, "Because in your heart, other people's dignity, face, life and death are not important at all."

Che Jingcan has no way to defend himself because every word he said is right. In his opinion, other than himself and the people he cares about, the good or bad of other people is not important at all. He enjoys using violence to force others to submit to him, and he also likes to use violence to vent his negative emotions.

Bai Zhiyan's words touched his heart. He really couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and almost ran out of the classroom.

This was the first time in Young Master Che's life that he felt regretful.

"Hey, we're in class, why did this kid just leave like that?"

Bai Zhiyan turned around and continued to look at the teacher who was working hard to impart knowledge on the podium. When he was about to take notes, he realized that his hands were shaking, and he didn't remember a word the teacher said just now.

Che Jingcan was upset. This was the most Bai Zhiyan had ever spoken to him, but he was not happy at all. He would rather he quarreled with him like before, and he would have no complaints even if he bit him again.

He thought that after he returned to school today and found Bai Zhiyan and helped him deal with those who bullied him, their relationship would get better. But now everything is ruined. The culprit turned out to be someone around him, not to mention that he almost became an accomplice today.

"What should I do..."

He took out the cat pendant that Bai Zhiyan had given him from his pocket and poked its cat head.

"What should I do? It seems your master is really angry this time. You are a useless cat and you can't talk. It would be great if you could give me some advice."

While Che Jingcan was still fiddling with the kitten's head dejectedly, Li Enna followed him quietly.

"Um, Jingcan brother..." She called him softly.

"Shit, when the hell did you get here? You scared me!"

Che Jingcan didn't notice someone approaching and was frightened by her sudden voice. He hurriedly stuffed the cat's head back into his pocket.

Li Enna felt a little aggrieved after being scolded. She pouted and said, "I just saw that you were unhappy and wanted to come and see you."

"Who are you?"

Che Jingcan frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him, and his raised eyes became sharp. When Li Enna secretly looked up, she was frightened when she saw his eyes.

"I, I'm Li Eunna, Gao--" She stopped suddenly. Che Jingcan had just beaten Gao Eunsuk because he was angry. If she said she was his friend at this time, she would probably get beaten too, so she turned her head and thought about it.

"I'm a friend of Liu Zhimin and Zhiyan."

She had just seen Che Jingcan's attitude towards Bai Zhiyan. If she mentioned Bai Zhiyan at this time, it would probably be effective.

"Brother Zhiyan? Are you Bai Zhiyan's friend?"

Seeing Che Jingcan's eyes light up, she knew she had made the right bet.

"Yeah, Brother Zhiyan and I occasionally have dinner and chat together." Although this was pure nonsense, she was willing to do it just to talk to Che Jingcan.

"That's perfect. Let me ask you something. Just now, Gao Enshuo asked Liu Zhimin if she liked Bai Zhiyan. She said yes. Do you know if Bai Zhiyan likes her?"

Che Jingcan was still worried about this issue. He clearly heard Liu Zhimin say that she liked Bai Zhiyan (he also automatically ignored what Zhimin said about liking her as a friend). Later he saw that Bai Zhiyan was also very close to her. Could these two people like each other?

Although Li Enna didn't know why he asked such a strange question, she still shook her head honestly, "Jimin's love for Zhiyan is just a friend, not a boyfriend or girlfriend. Zhiyan probably doesn't like Jimin either."

After hearing her answer, Che Jingcan felt a little better.

From Li Enna's perspective, she was happy because she knew that Liu Zhimin didn't like Bai Zhiyan. It turned out that Che Jingcan also liked Liu Zhimin!

Before Li Enna could mourn the love that ended before it even began, Che Jingcan seemed to remember something and asked her again: "What about Xu Shiyuan? Do you know Xu Shiyuan?"

"what?"

Li Enna was so shocked that she uttered an inappropriate sound of surprise.

"What do you think of Xu Shiyuan? Why does he look like he knows Bai Zhiyan very well?"

"They should be just ordinary friends..."

"Ordinary friends? Are you sure?"

Che Jingcan asked her back. Based on his intuition, he didn't think they were just ordinary friends. Xu Shiyuan's reaction to Bai Zhiyan just now was too strange.

But this question touched upon Li Enna's blind spot in knowledge. Although she had been chasing after Xu Shiyuan for the past two days, she had not gotten any useful information out of him.

Facing Che Jingcan's sharp eyes, she swallowed and remembered the advice her sister gave her. She hesitated and said, "The reason why I met Zhiyan was because of Xu Shiyuan, because I wanted to pursue him..."

"What? You like Xu Shiyuan? You actually like that social aid recipient?"

"Yes..." Li Enna almost bit off her tongue while lying.

Che Jingcan had not expected this development. He first squinted his eyes and looked Li Enna up and down, and finally patted her shoulder with a smile and appreciation.

"Yes, you are so beautiful. I believe you can definitely catch him. I am optimistic about you."

Damn it, why are everyone wishing her success in pursuing her boyfriend? Doesn't anyone think that Xu Shiyuan is not worthy of her?

Li Enna was in mixed feelings, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
