Lima syndrome

After that day, Bai Zhiyan didn't know whether Che Jingcan did something or Gao Enshuo took the initiative to request it, but he was transferred to another class.

Bai Zhiyan thought that after Che Jingcan had a fight with him in the empty classroom that day, he would definitely pester him more than ever before, but he didn't do anything excessive for two days.

Except for staring at him every day without fail.

Bai Zhiyan was thinking, if Che Jingcan's eyes could shoot lasers, he would be full of holes now.

He might as well say something and he could scold him a few times, but now he said nothing and just stared at him to see what new trick he was up to.

As for Che Jingcan, after his father's guidance that day, he thought about it all night and finally confirmed his thoughts. He did like Bai Zhiyan a little, so he was now trying to find some advantages in him that he had not discovered before.

After two days of hard work, he discovered a very small mole on Bai Zhiyan's eyelid, so small that it could only be seen if it was almost attached to his face. Perhaps he was the first person to discover it besides Bai Zhiyan himself.

He felt a little proud when he thought of this.

He also found that Bai Zhiyan would unconsciously tap the table with his index finger when thinking about a problem, and preferred to support his chin with his hand when listening to lectures. He would also lower his head slightly when the teacher asked questions to avoid being called on.

Che Jingcan found every little move of his cute, but Bai Zhiyan, who was being stared at by him, just felt creepy.

It was not until the third day, when the semester exam finally arrived and the examination room had to be disrupted and seats rearranged, that Bai Zhiyan finally escaped his death gaze.

The seats for this exam were arranged according to the results of the entrance exam. Bai Zhiyan transferred here later. He had taken the entrance exam, but the results were not made public, so he didn't know where his seat would be assigned.

"Bai Zhiyan, examination room A, seat 2."

When the counselor read out Bai Zhiyan's seat number, the class began to chatter again.

"Wow, I didn't expect Bai Zhiyan to be such a good student."

"Yes, yes, this seat is the second best in the whole school, just one place lower than Xu Shiyuan."

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

Bai Zhiyan didn't react much after hearing the seat number. He had lived another life, and what he was learning now were what he had learned in his previous life. He had naturally done the test papers as well. Although he couldn't remember all the questions and knowledge points, it was still a piece of cake for him to get into the top few in the school year.

"Oh my god, you look so good, I didn't expect you to be such a good student." Che Jingcan, a poor student who was assigned to examination room F and seat number 28 (there are 30 in total), expressed sincere admiration.

"Ah……"

Bai Zhiyan sneered and said nothing.

Xu Shiyuan, who was not far away, felt unhappy when he saw Bai Zhiyan's face slightly turned away. They had been together before, but Bai Zhiyan had never told him that he actually had good grades.

Bai Zhiyan and Xu Shiyuan met in the same examination room ten minutes before the exam started. Xu Shiyuan had always been the top student in the school, and his seat was right in front of Bai Zhiyan, which meant that from today onwards, they would be sitting at the desks in front and behind each other for the next two days.

"Zhiyan, I didn't expect you to study so well. I always said I would help you study before, but now it's really funny."

There was something else behind Xu Shiyuan's words. Bai Zhiyan detected a hint of resentment. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and responded to him with his signature smile.

"How could that be, Shi Yuan? I was in the hospital thanks to you for organizing my study notes."

Hearing him calling him squad leader without any alienation, Xu Shiyuan's frown gradually relaxed.

"You're so polite. If you need, I can always lend you my notes and teach you my lessons."

"That's great, but squad leader..." Bai Zhiyan raised his hand in front of him and lightly touched the tip of Xu Shiyuan's nose with his finger, then shook his finger left and right.

"You help me so much, aren't you afraid that I will take your first place next time?"

In the past, Bai Zhiyan would always make this kind of playful gesture from time to time when she was with him. Xu Shiyuan looked at the slender white finger in front of him and felt a little irritated.

In the end, he couldn't hold back his distracting thoughts and reached out to hold Bai Zhiyan's fingers.

"That only proves that I taught you well. But next time if you need me to help you study..."

Xu Shiyuan put a little more force on his hands and said, "Remember to call me teacher."

Bai Zhiyan's body and mind were resisting his touch. He forced himself to listen to him finish his words before pulling his fingers back. The fake smile he had put on before could no longer be maintained, so he had to force a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Haha...it's a deal..."

When the exam started, Bai Zhiyan threw away all those messy thoughts and concentrated all his energy on one thing. Too much had happened recently, his study time was always scattered, and his physical condition was not very good. He was not sure of the first place yet, and he just hoped that he would not be left too far behind by Xu Shiyuan.

But he must get first place, and this is what can hurt Xu Shiyuan the most. He was able to enter Silver Star as a social aid recipient because of his grades, and he also pocketed the annual scholarship. He is now living a decent life in Silver Star entirely because of this achievement. If even this last bit of excellence is taken away from him, how wonderful will the expression on his face be?

After finishing one exam, it was lunch time. Bai Zhiyan didn't want to see Che Jingcan's face when he returned to the classroom, so he simply brought the lunch box before the exam.

Xu Shiyuan thought he would leave after the exam, but when he saw Bai Zhiyan take out the familiar lunch box, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Ji Yan, aren't you going to the cafeteria to eat?"

"No, I don't like going to the cafeteria. I'll feel uncomfortable if I go there."

Bai Zhiyan didn't think much about it, opened the lunch box, took out the tableware and prepared to eat.

But these words sounded different to Xu Shiyuan, "I don't like going to the cafeteria anyway", isn't this telling him that eating with him on the rooftop before was what made him most comfortable?

"It just so happens that I don't want to go out for dinner, so I'll go with you."

Xu Shiyuan took out his lunch box, turned around and put it on Bai Zhiyan's table. Without waiting for Bai Zhiyan to speak, he naturally picked up the cutlery and started eating.

"Jiyeon, I see you've lost weight recently. Is it because you're too tired from studying? Or is it because Gao Enshuo always bothers you?"

"I'm fine, I just don't have much appetite."

Although Bai Zhiyan didn't want to see Che Jingcan, he also didn't want to sit with Xu Shiyuan. The meal would be tasteless.

"But it's great that Gao Enshuo transferred to another class. Otherwise, he would always come to bother you every day and affect your normal life. I was always worried about you."

Bai Zhiyan was speechless when he heard his words. Everyone can say nice words, but he never did anything substantial to defend himself every time he was picked on.

When he fainted before, he knew clearly that Xu Shiyuan had bad intentions. Bai Zhiyan knew that he had been bullied before, and he must have the best understanding of the feelings of bullied people. What he wanted was for him to jump out like a savior and comfort him after he had been tortured.

Just like the time when he fought with Gao Enshuo and Park Jun in the bathroom, he stood up for him when he was about to give up. Although he still took him to the hospital, his purpose was to hope that he would find himself isolated and helpless after waking up, and that he was the only one willing to help and protect him at all costs, even at the risk of being bullied.

If Bai Zhiyan was still the same person in his previous life, he would probably be deeply moved, but now he has seen through Xu Shiyuan's true nature. He may be a little sincere to him, but compared with his own interests, this little bit of friendship means nothing.

"It's okay. Now that Gao Enshuo is gone, you don't have to worry about me anymore." Bai Zhiyan swallowed the last mouthful of rice.

"But he is such a petty person. I think you will be in more danger if Liu Zhimin stays with you for a moment longer."

Tsk, after all the talk, they are talking about Liu Zhimin again. Bai Zhiyan really doesn’t understand what deep hatred he has with Liu Zhimin that makes him target her like this.

"He's nothing. I can't give up my original interpersonal relationships just because of a scumbag like him."

"But her—well—"

Bai Zhiyan couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he picked up a piece of pineapple and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Shi Yuan, try this. My aunt cut it this morning."

"Mmmmm - so sour -"

He learned this trick from Che Jingcan. If he insists on saying those annoying nonsense, it would be better to just shut his mouth.

"Then have another apple. This one isn't sour."

As he said this, he picked up another piece of apple and handed it to him. Xu Shiyuan wanted to reach out to take it, but when he looked up, he saw a figure flashing past the window. He paused for a moment, then smiled and leaned forward.

"I will eat well."

He didn't take it, but just opened his mouth and ate the apple from the hand that Bai Zhiyan handed to him.

“Why do I feel like this is a bit sour?”

"No way, I ate one this morning and it wasn't sour at all..."

Bai Zhiyan didn't realize that his little trick was diverted by his words, and picked up another piece to taste it himself.

"Then let me try it again." As soon as he picked up a piece, Xu Shiyuan grabbed his wrist and handed the apple to his mouth.

"Mmm, this one is sweet."

Bai Zhiyan felt his hair stand on end when he was touched by him. He smiled awkwardly and twisted his wrist to pull it back.

"What are you doing!"

Before he could pull his hand back, he heard a roar. Che Jingcan stood at the entrance of the examination room with a sullen face, glaring at the two of them.

Before Bai Zhiyan and Xu Shiyuan could react, Che Jingcan strode forward, opened Xu Shiyuan's hand, pulled Bai Zhiyan up and rubbed his wrist hard.

"It's so dirty!"

"What are you crazy about!" Bai Zhiyan's fair skin was left with red marks by him. He felt the pain and screamed and retracted his hand.

"You hid when I touched you, why didn't you hide when he grabbed you!"

"What bullshit are you talking about? Shi Yuan didn't grab me as violently as you did."

"How dare you call him by his name? Didn't I tell you not to call him that?"

Che Jingcan was so angry that he was about to die. He was waiting in the classroom for Bai Zhiyan to come back so that he could take him out to eat. He waited for a long time but there was no sign of him. He thought he might still be in the examination room, so he came to find him. Who knew he would see him eating with Xu Shiyuan.

He even fed Seo Shi-won! Bai Zhi-yeon never fed him!

What’s even more abominable is that Xu Shiyuan clearly saw him coming, but he still shamelessly lied and grabbed Bai Zhiyan to continue feeding him.

This was just a scene he had imagined in his mind before, what would happen if Bai Zhiyan got close to other people, but today he saw it in reality, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"Are you mentally ill? Do I need your permission to address others?"

The meal was already tasteless, and Che Jingcan jumped out to find fault. Bai Zhiyan felt like he was going to have indigestion.

"No way!" He has never called himself by his own name properly, so why should he call Xu Shiyuan so intimately.

But he didn't want to tell the reason, so he had to stiffen his neck and confront him.

"Zhiyan, how is your hand? Is the skin broken?"

Xu Shiyuan wanted to add fuel to the fire at this time. He eagerly took Bai Zhiyan's red hand and blew gently on that area carefully.

"I'm fine..."

Bai Zhiyan's expression became unnatural when he sensed his breath, and he wanted to pull his hand back.

"How dare you touch him!"

Che Jingcan was so angry that he raised his fist and hit Xu Shiyuan in the face.

"Uh--"

Bai Zhiyan was startled as he didn't expect him to suddenly attack, and Xu Shiyuan staggered when his head tilted.

"Xu Shiyuan!" Bai Zhiyan subconsciously reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"

Xu Shiyuan forced a smile and shook his head at him.

Seeing Bai Zhiyan going to care about Xu Shiyuan, Che Jingcan couldn't bear it anymore and carried him out of the examination room.

"Che Jingcan, what on earth are you doing? Are you just looking for trouble?"

Still in school, Bai Zhiyan was afraid of being seen by others, so he struggled harder than ever before. Che Jingcan couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw him into the bathroom and locked the door.

Bai Zhiyan looked around in panic, then slowly backed away and leaned against the sink.

"Am I looking for trouble?" Che Jingcan lifted Bai Zhiyan's collar and pushed him against the wall.

"Bai Zhiyan, I just didn't die after not being with you for the whole morning. How dare you cheat on me so blatantly? You are really amazing!"

Bai Zhiyan, who was still struggling violently, suddenly lost control of his brain and dropped his hands after hearing his words.

"Cheating? What did you say? Did you just say cheating?"

"At lunch time, you didn't come back to class to eat with me, but stayed with Xu Shiyuan instead, and even fed him food with a smile on your face. If this isn't cheating, what is it?"

"Who is smiling? Not——" Bai Zhiyan shook his head, "What do you mean by cheating? Why do you keep talking about cheating? Are you drunk?"

He couldn't follow Che Jingcan's train of thought at all. He thought he simply disliked Xu Shiyuan, but he never thought that he treated her as a mistress.

This doesn’t seem right. If Xu Shiyuan is a mistress, then what is he?

"I'm not an alcoholic, why would I drink? Didn't you say before that you would stay away from Xu Shiyuan? What the hell is going on today?"

"I just said that we would maintain a normal friendship, but I never said that we would break up."

"I don't care what you say, anyway, you can't have anything to do with him anymore."

Bai Zhiyan really wanted to take him to the hospital to have his brain checked. He suspected that this man's head might have been caught by the door.
