Lima syndrome

"How is that possible! What a joke!" Che Jingcan hesitated for a moment and then retorted loudly.

Anyway, you are not allowed to do this to me!" He pulled Bai Zhiyan hard, trying to make him turn his face to look at him.

"Snapped--"

What answered him was a loud and crisp slap. Bai Zhiyan accidentally slapped him while struggling.

Che Jingcan was stunned, and Bai Zhiyan was also stunned. Although he didn't want to answer him, he didn't want to hit him either.

"You actually hit me?" Che Jingcan covered his face and looked at him in disbelief.

"You hit me?" he repeated.

"I didn't mean to hit you."

Che Jingcan grabbed his wrist and said, "My mother never hit me. Bai Zhiyan, you are really good."

Fortunately, they are now in an alley with few people, otherwise if the scene just now was seen and spread out, it would probably be ranked first on the Silver Star News list.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Bai Zhiyan apologized in an inaudible voice. He felt a little unwilling and raised his voice a little, saying, "But who told you to keep pestering me? You asked for it..."

Bai Zhiyan spoke firmly, but he kept his head down and didn't look at him.

"You said before that what has happened cannot be brushed aside with just a sentence like 'it was not intentional', so now that you have said this, do you want to pretend that it never happened?"

"You're changing the subject! And I don't think so!"

"Who the hell cares what you think!" Che Jingcan raised his hand and pinched his face to make him look at him. No one had ever dared to hit him, let alone hit him in the face. At this moment, the anger in his heart had already exceeded the dissatisfaction of being rejected just now.

"I realized that I've been too good to you recently. I apologized to you when I saw you getting beaten by Gao Enshuo. I took you to the infirmary when you were about to faint behind the teaching building. I even brought you breakfast and took you to eat barbecue. Even a stone should be moved, right? What exactly are you dissatisfied with me? Why do you always go against me?"

Bai Zhiyan looked at his angry eyes and saw a hint of pain in them, but now he just thought he was ridiculous.

"Speak to me!" Che Jingcan gradually increased the strength of his hands, pinching Bai Zhiyan so hard that his entire face wrinkled.

"First of all--" Bai Zhiyan held Che Jingcan's hand and looked at him firmly without any evasion.

"Gao Eun-seok picking on me has nothing to do with you, and I wasn't just beaten, he was also injured and sent to the hospital. You don't have to apologize to me. Even if your friends and brothers beat me to death, it has nothing to do with you, because there is no relationship between us."

As he spoke, he increased the strength of his hands.

"Secondly, I thank you for sending me to the infirmary, but you have to know that going to the infirmary was not my intention at all."

"Finally, regarding breakfast, I did eat what you brought, but was that what I wanted to eat? You forced me to eat it."

After saying that, Bai Zhiyan also pried open his hands that were tightly pinching him.

"Everything you do is because you want to do it, not because I need it. You only impose your own will on me. You don't care about my thoughts at all."

When Bai Zhiyan just let go of Che Jingcan's hand when he finished speaking, Che Jingcan held his hand back. He felt the strength and warmth coming from Che Jingcan's hand, and his hand was wrapped like this.

Che Jingcan looked at him without blinking, trying to find a trace of fluctuation on his calm face, but he failed.

It turns out that he really hates himself.

But he still didn't want to lose face, so he suppressed the bitterness and unwillingness in his heart and gently rubbed his white fingers.

"It's okay. I won't hold it against you for hitting me just now, so you are not allowed to bring up the past to emphasize my fault."

Bai Zhiyan sneered and pulled back his hand. A trace of pity seemed to flash in his eyes, but when he raised his eyes again, there was no warmth in them.

"We are not in a relationship where we can sit together for meals and chat. This is a good opportunity to put out all the abnormal flames. I will forget about what happened before, and from now on we will just pretend that we don't know each other."

"What did you say?"

Che Jingcan knew that he had an indifferent temperament and would only argue with him when he was pushed to the limit, but he never thought that Bai Zhiyan would say such cruel words.

"You and I are two living people. Do you think that human memories and emotions can be forgotten just like that?"

Bai Zhiyan's impatience with him was now evident in words. This was already the biggest concession he had ever made. He would rather forget the past grudges with him than have him harass him. Why was this man so stubborn?

"Bai Zhiyan, look at me and say it again."

Che Jingcan forcefully pulled his shoulders over, and if he insisted on hitting his head against the wall, Bai Zhiyan would be willing to satisfy him.

"I said, if possible, I don't want to know you at all, let alone have anything to do with you."

His eyes and tone were exactly the same cold, playing on repeat like a silent movie in Che Jingcan's eyes.

"I do not believe."

Che Jingcan let go of his hand and grinned, a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Since you said we have nothing to do with each other, we'll just be friends from now on. It's hard to get into my social circle, but I'm willing to give you a place."

"Don't fool yourself here."

Che Jingcan pretended not to hear, "There are countless people who want to make friends with me. It's your honor."

"I don't have time to play this farce with you." Bai Zhiyan shook off his hand and walked towards the school without looking back.

“Hey! Dead Fish Face! Bai Zhiyan!” Che Jingcan couldn’t stop him and ran after him, “Stop right there!”

But he didn't stop, or rather, he never stopped.

In the next week, a shocking cold war of the century broke out between the two, although it was Che Jingcan's unilateral opinion.

Che Jingcan also moved his seat to a position two aisles away from Bai Zhiyan, deliberately declaring war on him to show his dissatisfaction, but Bai Zhiyan just thought that he finally understood what people said and was willing to stay away from him.

His life now is free from the harassment of Che Jingcan, he doesn't have to flatter Xu Shiyuan, and he doesn't have to see Bai Jitai's disgusting face when he returns to the Bai family. This is the life he is most satisfied with.

But if he is happy, someone will be dissatisfied.

The peaceful life that Bai Zhiyan had dreamed of in his previous life finally came. This was his belated 19th birthday and also his belated coming of age ceremony.

From Bai's house to school, he occasionally had a meal and chatted with Liu Zhimin. Most of his time was spent on studying, and his life was dull.

However, Li Enna would come over occasionally to inquire.

"Brother Zhiyan, I saw that you and Brother Jingcan were quite familiar with each other before, why haven't I seen you two talking recently?"

She glanced at Che Jingcan's seat awkwardly, and then asked, "I saw that Jingcan even moved his seat. Did you two have a fight?"

"Very familiar? Why do you think so? My relationship with Che Jingcan is just like any other ordinary classmates in the class. Why do you think we are very familiar with each other?"

Li Enna heard the sound of books being thrown not far away, and continued talking with gritted teeth.

"It's just that I saw you guys talking and chatting together before..."

"Enna, aren't we talking now? But I'm not familiar with you, right?"

This time it was Li Enna's turn to be stunned, "What? Brother Zhiyan, do you think we are not acquaintances?"

"Of course not. We've only spoken a few times, and you're not in our class. We're not even classmates."

"W-what?"

Seeing Bai Zhiyan's calm face and calm tone, Li Enna felt like she was having a heart attack.

Shit, turns out she’s a clown too.

Li Enna's face turned green with anger when she walked out.

However, Che Jingcan, who now had an ordinary classmate relationship with Bai Zhiyan, did not feel any better. He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could only glare at Bai Zhiyan's profile fiercely.

He couldn't even see his face now.

Xu Shiyuan was in the same situation as him. He was angry about being left behind by Bai Zhiyan the previous second, but soon after he saw Che Jingcan who also had an angry look on his face, he knew what was going on.

He is not the only one who has lost his home.

This cold war may be a nuisance for Cha Kyung-chan, but Gao Enshuo doesn't think so.

"Jingcan, I saw you attacked me before to protect that kid Bai Zhiyan. I won't ask you why and what your relationship with him is, but why are you guys not talking now?"

Gao Enshuo has been observing for several days in a row. The two have not spoken to each other since a week ago, and Che Jingcan has even moved his seat. If the two are really arguing or breaking up, then his chance for revenge has come.

"I have nothing to do with him, so stop arguing or anything like that. I just find it disgusting to sit with him."

Che Jingcan was already upset, and he felt even worse after hearing what he said.

"So you mean you won't have any contact with him anymore, right?"

He frowned and didn't answer immediately. After a while, he nodded.

"Yes, I will have nothing to do with him in the future. I hit you in the heat of the moment."

"I feel relieved with your words. Although I don't know why he offended you, Jingcan, don't worry, I will make him pay for his old grudges together with his new ones."

Gao Enshuo's smile was vulgar, and the wound on his face, which had not yet healed, twitched, making him look very funny.

Che Jingcan was upset and didn't care what he was saying.

"Okay, get out of here."

The semester exams are coming soon, and Bai Zhiyan has fewer worries and his study efficiency is gradually improving.

One morning, Bai Zhiyan arrived at school half an hour earlier than usual in order to borrow books from the library. After sorting out his books, he went to the library.

"Hey, don't you have eyes? Can't you see there's someone in front of you?"

Bai Zhiyan bumped into someone just as he was leaving the classroom. He took two steps back. Although both parties were responsible, he didn't want to get entangled here, so he apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without even raising his head.

"Hey, what's your attitude! Did I let you go?"

Bai Zhiyan was pushed by him, and then he looked up at the person who was deliberately making trouble. There was no figure of this person in his memory, so logically they should not know each other.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to leave like this after you bumped into someone?"

The man was tall and pushed Bai Zhiyan into the classroom.

There were not many people in the class at that time. Bai Zhiyan stepped back and only then saw that there was someone standing behind the boy.

It’s Go Eun-seok.

"What do you want to do again?"

Bai Zhiyan frowned. He knew that Gao Enshuo would not give up easily, but he never thought that he would be so difficult to deal with.

"Before, I thought Jingcan was protecting you, so I didn't touch you for the time being, but now..."

Gao Enshuo looked at Bai Zhiyan from head to toe with disdain, "If you make Jingcan unhappy, he won't protect you anymore, right?"

"You said Che Jingcan protected me?" Bai Zhiyan sneered, "Stop talking such useless nonsense. If you want to retaliate against me, you still need to look at other people's faces. In the end, you are just a loser who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

"What the hell did you say!"

Gao Enshuo was so angry that he tried to catch Bai Zhiyan, but Bai Zhiyan dodged and left him empty-handed. Before Gao Enshuo and his little brother could react, he kicked him in the butt.

He used ten times ten times the strength of this kick, and Gao Enshuo lost his balance and fell face down on the ground, immediately letting out a wail.

Bai Zhiyan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran away, running all the way to the library before finally stopping.

He did not return to the classroom until just before class. The class was quiet and Gao Enshuo was sitting obediently in his seat. When he saw him come back, he just glared at him and did not stand up to make trouble again.

Bai Zhiyan didn't believe that he would give up, so he returned to his seat in confusion. But as soon as he walked over and saw his desk, he understood.

His desk was covered with obscene words written all over it with red marker.

"Illegitimate son of a bitch, go to hell..."

Tsk, that’s it?

Bai Zhiyan thought this little trick was extremely childish. He casually took out a bottle of alcohol from his backpack, wet a tissue with it and wiped the words clean, then pulled out a chair and sat down calmly.

He thought he had avoided the bullying in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape it. However, if he just had to deal with a brainless person like Gao Enshuo, it would be much simpler than in his previous life.

Che Jingcan had seen what Gao Enshuo wrote on his desk, but he felt that the two of them were still arguing, and he didn't want him to be self-indulgent and think that he couldn't let him go, so he let Gao Enshuo write. At worst, if Bai Zhiyan got angry, he could scold Gao Enshuo, which would just give him a way out and allow him to take the initiative to break the ice and ease their relationship.

But he didn't expect that Bai Zhiyan didn't care about these things at all, or that Gao Enshuo's methods were simply not to his liking.

"Fuck, you bastard can be so patient?"

Gao Enshuo felt insulted when he saw Bai Zhiyan's calm expression, and the anger in his heart grew.

So the next day he changed his tactics.

There was an outdoor class today. When Bai Zhiyan was about to go to his closet to get his sportswear to change into, he found that his clothes had been slashed into shreds. He took out the rags, simply packed them up and threw them into the trash can.

Even elementary school students would think this kind of thing was childish, but there were actually people who did it. He could guess with his toes who it was.
