Lima syndrome

The two of them started bickering as if no one was around. Bai Jitai and Xu Shiyuan had never seen such a lively side of Bai Zhiyan. The Bai Zhiyan they saw was always afraid, panicked and insincere. Only in front of Che Jingcan would he let go of himself without any scruples.

"I am just like this anyway, and I won't change." Che Jingcan smiled mischievously and tried to hug him.

Bai Jitai, who suddenly became a transparent man, felt inexplicably unhappy, especially when he saw Che Jingcan trying to touch Bai Zhiyan and was ignored, his anger reached its peak.

"On your neck is..."

Before he could finish his question, Bai Jitai took two steps at a time and walked up to the two of them, pulled back the person who was still in Che Jingcan's hand, and put his arm in front of him, making a restraining gesture.

"I will help my brother solve his problems, so you don't have to worry about it."

Bai Zhiyan was pulled away by him suddenly, and his head hit his chest. The wound on his forehead was touched and began to throb in pain.

Che Jingcan was angered by the provocation in Bai Jitai's words and reached out to pull him again.

"What kind of brother are you? You waited until he was injured like this before you jumped out to help him!"

"Uh..." Bai Zhiyan rubbed his red forehead.

Bai Jitai then noticed that Bai Zhiyan's face was pale and the gauze covering the wound on his forehead was soaked with blood.

"Brother Zhiyan! Brother Zhiyan, how are you?"

At this time, Liu Zhimin also caught up, and with her came Li Enna, who was also worried that something might happen to Bai Zhiyan.

"Oh, you have a lot of friends?"

Bai Jitai's hand landed lightly on the wound on Bai Zhiyan's forehead. Bai Zhiyan cried out in pain with red eyes. Before his brain shut down, he heard Bai Jitai's feather-like threat.

"Who the hell are you being so hypocritical for?"

Damn, madman, madman, madman!

This madman actually treated him like this in front of a group of people!

"Fuck, what the hell are you doing!" Che Jingcan shook off Bai Jita's hand and pulled Bai Zhiyan over.

Bai Zhiyan's mind was blank. He didn't even know how he ran out of the office. He didn't dare stop to look at the expressions on their faces. He fled back to the classroom in a daze.

"Where are you going, Dead Fish Face!"

The protagonist ran away, and Che Kyung-chan, Liu Zhimin and Li Eun-na could no longer stay in the office. Only Xu Shiyuan and Bai Jitae were left in the office looking at each other.

Xu Shiyuan got up awkwardly, and Bai Jitai looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

"Xu Shiyuan, right? We've met before. Zhiyan introduced you as his classmate." Bai Jitae was the first to speak and break the silence.

"No, we are not just classmates, we are also friends." Xu Shiyuan paused, "Good friends."

Bai Jitai just witnessed the interaction between the two with his own eyes. At least when Xu Shiyuan first appeared, Bai Zhiyan's face was full of disgust. On the contrary, when he saw Che Jingcan who arrived later, there was at most a little impatience in his eyes. Although his tone was unfriendly, he responded to whatever the other party said. However, Xu Shiyuan did not seem to notice Bai Zhiyan's different attitudes towards them.

What good friend? Self-proclaimed.

The look Xu Shiyuan gave Bai Zhiyan reminded him of the men and women who had pursued him relentlessly when he was in school. They all wanted to get ahead overnight by relying on their status and position. Xu Shiyuan's eyes were the same, full of naked desire.

A poor guy who could only come to Yinxing to study with the help of society was worthy of marrying the young master of a chaebol family? At this time, he even forgot that Bai Zhiyan was an illegitimate child who made him disgusted and despised.

"Heh - it seems that my Zhiyan is really kind-hearted. Even if he crawled out of the slums, he couldn't change his habit of associating with low-class people. It's an honor for you."

Bai Jitai's words were extremely insulting. The arrogant Xu Shiyuan wanted to deny it but had no way to refute it. His status was indeed not worthy of associating with Bai Zhiyan, and he did have other thoughts.

"Before, Zhiyan told me that he preferred his previous life and didn't like interacting with his current family. He didn't have a good relationship with his father and brother. It seems that he was not lying to me."

Although this was true, Bai Zhiyan had never told him this. Xu Shiyuan just felt insulted and deliberately said something to taunt him.

Bai Jitai didn't care. He wasn't surprised that Bai Zhiyan would say such a thing. He just smiled and rubbed his head, and said with distress: "It seems that our Zhiyan is still angry with me."

Xu Shiyuan frowned, but continued talking without waiting for Bai Jitai to stop him.

"It was just a joke and I hit him a little too hard..." Bai Jitai said as he looked at Xu Shiyuan's expression.

When he heard him mention "take action", Xu Shiyuan's face changed. He remembered that the pinch marks he saw on Bai Zhiyan's neck just now were actually done by him!

"This kid really holds a grudge."

Bai Jitai noticed the change in his expression and just found it funny.

Meanwhile, Xu Shiyuan was still brainstorming. He recalled that Bai Jitai had just acted a little too much towards Bai Zhiyan. Was that normal? Would brothers do that? If the marks on Bai Zhiyan's neck were really left by him, did that mean that he often abused Bai Zhiyan when he was at home? So, in fact, Bai Zhiyan had no status in the Bai family?

If Bai Zhiyan is not liked and respected by his family, then what is the point of all my hypocritical flattery towards him for so long!

He opened his mouth, and when he spoke again his voice was trembling, "Zhiyan told me that he hates you. Have you done anything worse to him?"

"What else can happen?"

"Even when he was unconscious, he was still frowning and calling your name. How dare you say that you haven't done anything worse to him!"

Bai Jitai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain from Xu Shiyuan. Bai Zhiyan always looked disgusted every time he saw him, but when he was unconscious, he called his name?

So his fear of himself has reached this extent?

His original irritable mood disappeared instantly, and he raised his chin and casually began to straighten his shirt that was wrinkled from beating someone.

"That depends on what you think, Xu. Whatever you can think of, I have done."

"you!"

After all, Xu Shiyuan was young, and his psychological defenses were not as strong as Bai Jitai's. With just a few words from the other party, he was forced into a swamp of suspicion and distrust.

"What's more, this is our Bai family's family affair. Who do you think you are to dare to tell me what to do?" Bai Jitai became impatient and his tone gradually became sharper.

"me……"

It can be said that Xu Shiyuan fled in panic.

He just wanted to inquire about Bai Zhiyan's status in the Bai family, but it was obvious that he had been bullied by Bai Jita at home.

If that's the case, then he has to consider whether or not to continue associating with Bai Zhiyan.

Bai Jitai felt relieved when he saw him panicking. He was really a poor boy who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He thought that Bai Zhiyan was a little more friendly to him and wanted to interfere in the family affairs of the Bai family? He didn't even look at his own status and position. He was nothing.

After solving Bai Zhiyan's problem and getting an unexpected surprise, Bai Jitai was in a good mood. He casually called the dean of Yinxing and left the school leisurely.

Bai Zhiyan ran to the teaching building in a panic. The fear of Bai Jitai strangling his neck and suffocating him was still lingering. He squatted down and calmed down for a long time.

He ran too fast, and Che Jingcan lost him just by one step slower.

When Li Enna saw him running out, she followed him all the way. She thought of Che Jingcan's special feelings for him, so she immediately reported her current location information.

"Brother Zhiyan ran behind the teaching building. He looks very bad now."

After seeing the news, Che Jingcan, who was still running around like a headless fly, rushed to the teaching building without stopping.

"Li Enna, keep an eye on him!"

Li Enna looked at the message on her mobile phone and resigned herself to her fate as she waited behind the wall of the teaching building.

Damn, what is this? Why is she making trouble for herself?

The sun was about to set, and the sky was slowly dyed orange. The light shone on Bai Zhiyan, covering him with a layer of golden gauze. He took a deep breath, and the rise and fall of his chest affected the beating of the wounds on his body. This was the first time he felt very tired since his rebirth.

Bai Zhiyan just squatted there without moving. When he curled up, he was just a small ball. He really didn't want to go back to the class. Just now, Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan saw how Bai Jita treated him. Given the personalities of these two people, they would definitely chase after him and ask questions non-stop. He was really too tired to deal with them.

Bai Zhiyan finally moved when the bell for class rang again. The semester exam was about to start. He had been in trouble all the time during this period, either getting into fights or being hospitalized. He had fallen behind in his studies. If he continued like this, he would never be able to surpass Xu Shiyuan in his lifetime.

Xu Shiyuan has always been at the top of the class since he was a child. He climbed up from a place like the slums. His perseverance and willpower are unmatched by ordinary people. If he wants to surpass Xu Shiyuan, he can only work harder except by using despicable means.

I don’t know if it was because he had been squatting for too long, but when Bai Zhiyan stood up, he felt a black screen before his eyes and he was about to fall.

"careful!"

The imagined pain of close contact with the concrete floor did not appear. Bai Zhiyan fell into a warm and dry embrace, and his body was held firmly.

"Bai Zhiyan, what's wrong with you?"

Che Jingcan hurried back and just as he arrived at the direction sent by Li Enna, he saw Bai Zhiyan staggering and about to fall. He rushed over without thinking.

"Well--"

Bai Zhiyan was caught in a vortex of various troubles that day. Without treatment and rest, his body had already reached its limit.

He closed his eyes for a long time before regaining consciousness.

“Cha Kyung-chan?”

He vaguely saw the other person, his vision was filled with Che Jingcan's worried face, and then he realized that his body was being supported by him.

"It's me." He rarely heard Bai Zhiyan call his name. He rolled his throat and asked back, "Why are you squatting here? Do you have low blood sugar?"

Bai Zhiyan shook his head and found that the dizziness had not completely gone away, but he didn't want to rely on Che Jingcan all the time, so he pushed him lightly with his weak hands, but the other party was as steady as a rock.

"I should go back to class."

Seeing him so angry, Che Jingcan increased his strength in supporting his hand, "Go home, how can you listen to the class in your current state? I'll take you to the infirmary."

After saying that, he ignored Bai Zhiyan's protests, picked the man up with one hand and left.

"Che Jingcan, is this the only trick you can use?"

Bai Zhiyan was furious. He still remembered that he had no power to fight back the last time he was carried up by him. Today his condition was even worse and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

"It's enough that this trick works for you."

"You damned son of a bitch."

"Save your energy for cursing. You can hardly even stand steadily."

"I'm going to call you a scoundrel, a psychopath!"

Bai Zhiyan was unable to exert any strength physically but he was very merciful with his words.

When Che Jingcan heard Bai Zhiyan's tone return to the same as before when he was bickering with him, his mood improved a lot. He still hoped that Bai Zhiyan would be unrestrained when facing him and say whatever he wanted.

"If you scold me again, I will throw you into the fountain in front of the teaching building."

"you dare!"

"See if I dare."

As he said that, Che Jingcan changed his route and ran towards the fountain in front of the building.

Seeing his aggressive look, Bai Zhiyan felt that he was not joking, so he put his arms around his thin waist and even clasped his fingers together.

Feeling the strength coming from his waist, Che Jingcan stopped and chuckled, "Are you scared now?"

Bai Zhiyan didn't say anything, and Che Jingcan also put away his playful intention, grabbed his legs hanging in front of him, turned around and walked towards the infirmary.

"Don't grab my legs."

Bai Zhiyan's voice was muffled when he spoke while hanging upside down, and it sounded like a complaint to Che Jingcan's ears, making his ears itchy and burning.

"Then I won't care if you fall."

After that, Bai Zhiyan no longer protested and was obediently taken to the infirmary by Che Jingcan.

To be honest, Bai Zhiyan has become a frequent visitor to the infirmary. As soon as the school doctor saw that it was him, he immediately took out the medicine and gauze prepared specially for him.

"You're here again, kid. From now on, I suggest you come over and be the living sign of our infirmary, or lend me some photos to take for advertising and post on the door."

Bai Zhiyan: ...

Although the school doctor spoke in a relaxed tone, he still felt sorry for the child. He knew that bullying was common in schools and he was powerless to do anything about it, but when he saw a child with more injuries, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Che Jingcan's mood didn't improve when he heard the school doctor's jokes to ease the atmosphere. Since he said that Bai Zhiyan often came to the school infirmary, didn't that mean that he was often injured?

The school doctor helped him draw the bed curtains, tidied the bedding and told him, "Okay, the medicine has been applied, go lie down and have a good sleep."

"Thank you, school doctor."

Seeing this, Che Jingcan grabbed Bai Zhiyan and walked to the bed without saying a word.

"Let's sleep in until school is over."

There were less than two hours left before the get out of class ended, and Bai Zhiyan was indeed tired. He did not resist, but bent down, took off his shoes, and went to bed to rest.

"Just sit there and don't move." Che Jingcan held him down.

"What are you doing?" Bai Zhiyan looked at him with a frown.

"I come."

Che Jingcan was still concerned about his abdominal injury and worried that bending over would hurt his stomach, so he asked him to sit on the bed and held his ankles to help him take off his shoes.
