Lima syndrome

After calming down, he turned back into that indifferent wooden face, "You said you wanted me to be with you, so let me ask you."

He jumped off the sink and looked up at him.

"Have you ever thought about what I would do if I don't like you? I don't like you and don't want to be with you. Moreover, if I just think about being with you, I will feel very uncomfortable and want to vomit. Even so, are you going to force me to agree?"

"It's your honor that I like you. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Why do you think being liked by you is something to be happy about, Che Jingcan? Have you been praised for so long that you really think everyone will like you, follow you and be obsessed with you? You are too self-righteous."

"What the hell did you say?" Che Jingcan's eyes were bloodshot and he pinched his face hard, suppressing the urge to hit him.

A trace of pain flashed across Bai Zhiyan's face, and then he grinned with a strange expression.

He smiled miserably. In fact, Che Jingcan seldom saw him smile. The two times he saw him smile were because he was smiling at others. Sometimes he felt that even this smile was stolen from others.

"Che Jingcan, stop being so self-righteous. I'm telling you, I will never be able to like you."

"shut up!"

Che Jingcan's tightly clenched fist finally fell and hit the mirror behind Bai Zhiyan hard. With a loud bang, the mirror shattered instantly, and countless tiny glass fragments poured down like a waterfall.

These sharp fragments seemed to be given life and quickly spread around, forming a dense spider web. Some fragments quickly scratched Bai Zhiyan's cheek, leaving a faint blood mark.

More blood was flowing out of Che Jingcan's hand like a fountain, the scarlet color was so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it, it splashed on the mirror, the wall and Bai Zhiyan's pale face, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow. These bloodstains formed a sharp contrast with Bai Zhiyan's bloodless cheeks, making his face, which was already as pale as snow, look even more sick and shocking.

Warm liquid flowed down Bai Zhiyan's face. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Che Jingcan's hand. There were cracks and blood on his knuckles. He didn't know how many fragments had pierced into his hand. Just by looking at it, he could imagine how painful it was. Bai Zhiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Che Jingcan noticed his tiny movement and took back his hand, wanting to help him wipe the blood off his face, but his own hands were already covered in blood. In the end, he just put down his injured hand tremblingly, suppressing the violence in his heart, and stared at his pale face with his handsome upturned eyes.

He rolled down his throat and leaned in close to him.

"Do you dare to say that again?"

Che Jingcan's voice was as hoarse as dead branches and leaves, and every word he said seemed to have been cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

"you……"

Bai Zhiyan trembled his lips and uttered an almost inaudible syllable. There was no point in saying more at this moment. He didn't want to leave Che Jingcan with any hope that he could ease the relationship. The most important thing was to dispel his unrealistic delusions.

So his eyes no longer lingered on him, and he ignored his injured hand.

"Since you won't give up, I'll help you."

His voice wasn't much better, Cha Kyung-chan sounded like dead branches and rotten leaves, and he was like sandpaper grinding against a stone, the two were evenly matched.

"I said, I could never like you."

Che Jingcan looked at him with eyes full of endless coldness, just like the wind, snow and frost in the last month of winter, the cold wind penetrated the skin and pierced the bones and heart.

He really knows how to ask for trouble. Even if he hits his head against the wall, he doesn't want to turn back. He insists on using his own flesh and blood to fight against it and won't stop until his skin is torn apart.

"Don't say it, don't say it..."

When he was at his wit's end, he realized that the only trick he could use to deal with Bai Zhiyan was intimidation. He couldn't find anything that could shake his heart. Most of the time between the two of them, Bai Zhiyan had to compromise because of his coercion.

"Stop kidding yourself."

He heard the pity in Bai Zhiyan's words, and he didn't dare to look into his eyes again, for fear that he would see his own reflection like a poor creature.

When he was young, he always heard his father say that his mother was cold and heartless, but he never felt that way, because his mother's eyes were always full of smiles when she faced him, and her love for him almost overflowed from her eyes.

His mother only had a cold face when facing his father. He always thought it was his father's problem, otherwise why would his mother only have a cold face towards him.

Now that he saw Bai Zhiyan's indifferent and cold face, he understood that the coldest and most heartless person in the world was here. Even if his mother hated his father, so what? They were still together, and even if she died, she would still be his father's legal wife.

But he couldn't do anything to Bai Zhiyan.

Perhaps after today, their only remaining relationship would be that of classmates. His self-esteem would not allow him to end up in such a situation. He was just a person who didn't like him, and he shouldn't waste more time and energy on him. It was not his style to keep pestering him.

"Bai Zhiyan--" After he successfully built up his mental strength, he put on his usual playful and ostentatious face.

"You don't really think I like you very much, do you? You're just a toy I use to kill time when I'm bored. I just think you're interesting. Don't take yourself too seriously."

He wondered if Bai Zhiyan would show any regret after hearing what he said, and whether he would take back those cold words he had just said.

But he didn't.

Bai Zhiyan actually showed an expression of relief on his face, and he even let out a breath, chuckled, and nodded to him.

"that would be great."

That's great? What's so great? You feel so relieved knowing that you don't like him? Is he a plague or a snake? Why is it a happy thing to be liked by him?

Che Jingcan clenched his injured hand tightly, and streams of heat rushed out from his hideous wound, but he seemed not to feel the pain. His eyes were fixed on Bai Zhiyan, trying to find clues that he was lying.

But he failed. Bai Zhiyan lowered his brows and smiled, looking more relaxed than he had ever seen him. Was he so happy to have successfully rejected him?

Che Jingcan's eyes turned red, and Bai Zhiyan's figure was shaking in his sight. He could hardly support his body and laughed at himself before he fell.

"Very good, Bai Zhiyan, very good, you are really amazing. I hope you will always remember what I said today and never come to me crying and begging me again!"

After saying these cruel words, he didn't dare to look at Bai Zhiyan's reaction, for fear that he would have an expression as if he had survived a calamity again.

He couldn't hold on any longer. If he stayed a moment longer, he might faint here. He couldn't show weakness in front of him and couldn't let him think that he really liked him. He turned around without stopping for a moment, opened the door and left. His movements were done in one go, and he didn't even react when he bumped into Xu Shiyuan on his way out.

After Che Jingcan left, Bai Zhiyan's tense body could finally relax. He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. The shock from his confession and the dizziness from recalling the past had not completely dissipated. He covered his head and slowly slid down to the ground.

Xu Shiyuan, who had been watching a good show outside the door, finally came on stage at this time.

When he came in, he was stunned when he saw the glass fragments and splattered blood all over the floor. He was outside the door and didn't know whether Bai Zhiyan was injured or not, so he took two quick steps to check his body.

"Ji Yan, Ji Yan, how are you?"

After being beaten, Xu Shiyuan wanted to know where Che Jingcan was going to take Bai Zhiyan and what he was going to do. He found the bathroom and happened to hear Bai Zhiyan rejecting his confession. Seeing Che Jingcan's depressed and out-of-control expression like a drowned dog, he felt unprecedented excitement in his heart.

With his bad temper, he still wanted to deal with Bai Zhiyan? It was simply wishful thinking.

He had been with Bai Zhiyan for so long, and he was the one who knew him best, whether it was his past experiences or his likes and interests, he had even touched his body.

How can Che Jingcan compare with him!

"I do not……"

Bai Zhiyan felt dizzy. He heard someone calling him and barely raised his head to say that he was fine.

When he raised his head, Xu Shiyuan happened to see his swollen and cracked lips clearly.

"What happened to your mouth?"

Xu Shiyuan's eyes widened when he saw Bai Zhiyan's lips full of bite marks. He shook Bai Zhiyan's shoulders to ask him to answer. Seeing that he was unconscious, he lifted his face and raised his hand to touch his already swollen lips.

"Did he kiss you? He actually kissed you! Che Jingcan actually kissed you!"

Bai Zhiyan was shaken so hard that he felt dizzy and had no strength to open his eyes. He could only vaguely hear someone yelling something in his ear. Before he lost consciousness, he used his last bit of strength to reply.

"Che Jingcan, don't bite..."

After hearing this, Xu Shiyuan was stunned for two seconds and felt a surge of blood flowing upwards, about to break through the top of his head. It turned out that the bite mark on Bai Zhiyan's neck was also caused by Che Jingcan, and he mistakenly thought it was Liu Zhimin at that time.

He had been touched by Che Jingcan a long time ago, so did he say those things to himself not long ago because he felt tired of playing and returned to Che Jingcan's arms? Xu Shiyuan was so angry that he was shaking. Looking at Bai Zhiyan who was in a coma, he wanted to strangle him to death here. He questioned himself in his heart what was the benefit of always contacting such a flirtatious person. It would be better to just let go and cut the loss in time.

He pinched his swollen temples and adjusted his breathing.

No, that would be too easy for him.

Xu Shiyuan almost exhausted all his rationality before he finally suppressed the anger that was about to explode.

It would be too easy for him to let go at this time. He had to let Bai Zhiyan experience the feeling of being toyed with, let Che Jingcan suffer every day, and let them know who is the real stray dog!

"You are such a fickle bad boy, you have to give me some compensation, right?"

There was not much time left before the next exam, and Xu Shiyuan saw that he was in no condition to continue the exam, so he simply picked him up and carried him to the infirmary.

When Bai Zhiyan woke up again, the sun had already set. He opened his eyes hazily and the first thing he saw was Xu Shiyuan sitting beside his bed reading a book.

"what time is it now?"

When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was completely hoarse and his body was a little hot. He supported himself on the edge of the bed with both hands and tried to get up, but Xu Shiyuan beside him quickly held him down.

"Don't move. You have a fever and it hasn't gone away yet."

Bai Zhiyan had no choice but to lie back down and watch Xu Shiyuan wet the wet towel on his forehead and put it back on.

"Thank you, Shi Yuan. You...you always take care of me like this."

In the past, Bai Zhiyan could say these words without changing his expression. Maybe it was because the two of them had not been together for a few days, but Bai Zhiyan always felt a little embarrassed when he saw him now.

"Why are you always so polite to me? Your health is the most important thing."

After applying the towel, Xu Shiyuan naturally reached out to play with Bai Zhiyan's hair, and intentionally or unintentionally slid his fingers across his earlobe. Bai Zhiyan felt that he did it on purpose.

He shrank his neck uncomfortably. Xu Shiyuan noticed his subtle movement and anger burned in his eyes. He touched his face as if he was going to go against him.

His fingers slowly swept across his forehead, cheeks and chin. Bai Zhiyan hated his touch, which gave him goose bumps.

"Don't—"

"Nothing else?"

He was the first to interrupt Bai Zhiyan and pushed back his refusal.

"What time is it now?"

It was not a wise choice to argue with him about this. When Bai Zhiyan woke up and saw the sun setting, his mood became complicated. He missed an exam.

"It's already past six o'clock." Xu Shiyuan saw what he was concerned about and gave him a bland consolation.

"Don't worry, I've already asked the counselor for leave for you. You can make up for this subject."

What's the point of making up the exam? It won't be counted in the total score. There is no chance for him to overtake Xu Shiyuan this time.

Bai Zhiyan was in an even worse mood. Seeing his red and swollen face, he casually asked, "How is your face? Did you apply any medicine?"

Xu Shiyuan was hit hard by Che Jingcan and his wound is still badly swollen.

"Are you concerned about me now?" He chuckled and looked at him with burning eyes.

Bai Zhiyan was just asking simply. After all, he was responsible for his injury. Why did the question become so distorted when it came to him?

"Um……"

If it were before, Bai Zhiyan might have been willing to pretend to worry about him, but now he felt annoyed when he saw Xu Shiyuan's hypocritical look.

"It hurts a bit, I can't apply the medicine myself, can you help me apply the medicine?"

If it was Che Jingcan, Bai Zhiyan would definitely scold him for being too aggressive, but the person in front of him happened to be Xu Shiyuan.

"I...I don't know how. I've never given medicine to anyone else."

This is the truth, Bai Zhiyan only has experience in applying medicine to himself.

"It's okay, just apply it casually."

Xu Shiyuan did not allow him to refuse. He directly opened the medicine box, dipped the cotton swab in medicine, and put it in his hand.

Bai Zhiyan was in a dilemma, so he took it with gritted teeth, straightened up and slowly approached him.

The two of them gradually got closer, and Xu Shiyuan stared at Bai Zhiyan's face with his fiery eyes without blinking, imprinting everything from the hair on his forehead to the curve of his mouth in his mind.

Feeling Xu Shiyuan's gaze lingering on his cut lips, Bai Zhiyan's body trembled subconsciously.

"Zhiyan, your mouth..."

His breath and body temperature were transmitted to Bai Zhiyan's face through the air. The two were facing each other, less than a finger's distance apart. The infirmary was too quiet, so even if a needle fell, the sound could be heard clearly.
