Lima syndrome

Xu Shiyuan called his name softly, and Bai Zhiyan's body stiffened, his breathing became disordered for a moment, and the movement of applying medicine on his hands became heavier.

"hiss--"

He cried out in pain, which brought Bai Zhiyan back to his senses.

"Excuse me."

Bai Zhiyan felt a little uneasy. He had just experienced that in the bathroom. His body instinctively rejected others' approach. He didn't want to be disturbed, so he hurriedly stroked his face a few times and was about to let go.

"It's ready."

"Really? Are you sure you don't need to take a closer look?"

His voice became increasingly deeper, and every word contained ambiguous emotions. Bai Zhiyan didn't want to think too much about it.

"It's really healed now."

Bai Zhiyan had already withdrawn his hand, but he still refused to let him go. The two of them remained in a stalemate, feeling particularly cramped on the small bed in the infirmary.

This won't work, he is too passive. Bai Zhiyan has just been bitten by that mad dog Che Jingcan, and now he can't be led by Xu Shiyuan, otherwise they will come to step on him in the future.

Bai Zhiyan sat up straight and raised his hands to support his shoulders, looking down at Xu Shiyuan's eyes with a hint of madness, and sneered in his heart, replacing it with the smile he usually wore when facing Xu Shiyuan.

"Class monitor, are you getting along well with Li Enna recently?"

Sure enough, the moment he heard Li Enna's name, Xu Shiyuan's face instantly became ugly.

"Don't mention her now."

But at the moment when he frowned, Bai Zhiyan escaped flexibly, leaned back on the bed, and smiled at him innocently.

"Li Enna told me that she really likes you and even came to me to ask about you."

The warmth in his hand suddenly disappeared. Xu Shiyuan reluctantly put down his arm, adjusted his facial expression, and asked with a smile: "So what did you say to her?"

"Shi Yuan, what do you want me to tell her?"

Xu Shiyuan looked at his pure and charming face, and he felt so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't control himself and was willing to sink. This feeling of being unable to control himself left him with no place to vent his anger.

"I won't be with her. Li Enna is not a good person."

"But I don't know Li Enna." He paused, then said, "But if you say she is not a good person, then I will definitely believe you."

Bai Zhiyan blinked at him with a smile on her face. Her deliberately seductive expression was completely different from her previous appearance of being stiff and having disordered breathing.

Lying again.

Xu Shiyuan looked at him and saw that there were still traces of someone else's lips on him, but he was saying words that teased him. His palms were clenched into fists and hung at his legs, shaking uncontrollably, but his heart was contrary to his body and he was willing to fall into this vortex that would swallow him up.

"But when I told you before that getting too close to Liu Zhimin would also lead to misfortune, your attitude was not what you have now."

He spoke in a resentful tone and looked dissatisfied.

When Bai Zhiyan heard him mention Liu Zhimin again, he could hardly maintain the fake smile on his face.

Apart from being a bit tactless, Liu Zhimin is kind, cute and sociable. Although Bai Zhiyan intended to use Liu Zhimin to stimulate Xu Shiyuan at the beginning, he did not expect the recoil to be so strong that he could bring her up no matter what topic they talked about. He suspected that if he were to be with Liu Zhimin one day, Xu Shiyuan might stab Liu Zhimin to death.

However, Bai Zhiyan was not wrong about this. Xu Shiyuan had really thought about what would happen if Liu Zhimin died. He had hoped viciously for Liu Zhimin to die countless times so that no one would follow Bai Zhiyan around every day.

“Jimin is different.”

"She's different?" Xu Shiyuan snorted coldly, "How is she different? She has caused you so much trouble and even caused you to be injured and hospitalized. People like this who only bring bad luck to those around them should be avoided as soon as possible."

Bai Zhiyan really didn't want to get entangled with him on the topic of Liu Zhimin.

"Shi Yuan, don't be angry. It will hurt again if you pull the wound."

He reached out and gently touched the wound that had just been treated with medicine, his eyes full of worry.

"Let's not talk about Liu Zhimin, what about Che Jingcan?" Xu Shiyuan grabbed the hand he extended to him.

Sure enough, what is meant to come will come.

Bai Zhiyan knew that Xu Shiyuan was a paranoid and dark person. Seeing Che Jingcan's attitude and actions towards him, even if he remained calm on the surface, he must have been furious in his heart.

What's more, in his opinion, his proposal to stop associating with Xu Shiyuan was definitely instructed by Che Jingcan. Thinking of the scene when Che Jingcan got angry and beat Xu Shiyuan during the day, Bai Zhiyan felt that instead of trying to retaliate against them himself, it would be better to let them fight each other and avoid getting involved.

"He confessed to me just now."

Bai Zhiyan told the truth. Based on his understanding of Xu Shiyuan, he was probably aware of what happened between him and Che Jingcan in the bathroom, but he still pretended to ask him. So he might as well answer him truthfully.

But knowing that Xu Shiyuan didn't lie to him this time, he became even angrier. Che Jingcan was just a brainless dandy who only relied on violence to solve problems. Who the hell did he think he was to dream of being with Bai Zhiyan?

"So how did you answer him?"

There was no fluctuation in Xu Shiyuan's tone, but the strength of his grip on his hand became deeper and deeper, and Bai Zhiyan's body was pulled and forced forward.

"I said, I don't like him."

When Bai Zhiyan said this, his tone was extremely firm, his eyes fixed on Xu Shiyuan. Xu Shiyuan also tried to find loopholes in his words through his eyes. Their gazes collided with each other, creating sparks that could set a prairie fire ablaze in the dead silent air.

"I'll never like him."

Bai Zhiyan was clearly repeating these words to him, but Xu Shiyuan felt something strange in his heart, as if he was saying these words to himself, "Xu Shiyuan, I will never like you."

"So that's why he threw you in the bathroom in a rage?"

"Yeah, I guess he has never been rejected in his life."

"But it would definitely be dangerous if you were targeted by someone like him."

People like him? Although Che Jingcan has a bad temper and a bad personality, at least he won't do bad things secretly. Compared with people like Xu Shiyuan who are full of scheming, he is much easier to deal with.

“It’s okay—”

Bai Zhiyan suddenly thought of the questions Bai Jitai asked him after their conversation with Xu Shiyuan. He could tell that Xu Shiyuan had bad intentions after meeting him that day. With Bai Jitai's cruel and brutal character, he must have ridiculed Xu Shiyuan a lot at that time.

Then let Bai Jitai add fuel to the fire.

"I still have my brother. Didn't you see him beat up Park Jun to help me vent my anger? Although my brother has a bad temper and is always moody, he is still very good to me. If Che Jingcan really dares to do something to me, my brother will not let him go."

"Your brother? You mean Director Bai Jitai?"

"Yes, he always responds to my requests."

Bai Zhiyan said a bunch of bullshit that made him want to vomit, but when he saw Xu Shiyuan's increasingly ugly expression, he felt that his lies were not in vain.

"But I didn't think he treated you very well before."

"This is how we get along on a daily basis, and I like this way of getting along very much."

This was a huge lie. Bai Zhiyan wanted to vomit his stomach when he thought of Bai Jita.

However, Xu Shiyuan was even more confused about Bai Zhiyan's situation at home. Because of what Bai Jitai said, he thought that Bai Zhiyan had been bullied in the Bai family. But now, from what he said, the Bai family treated him very well, and Bai Zhiyan was not the illegitimate child who could be bullied by everyone as he imagined.

Xu Shiyuan's thoughts were in a mess. He could no longer tell which of Bai Zhiyan's words were true and which were false. He thought that after Bai Zhiyan was dumped by Che Jingcan, he could take advantage of the situation and return to him again, but now he seemed to have become the one being fooled.

But this is exactly the effect Bai Zhiyan wanted. Through Liu Zhimin's existence, he knew that Xu Shiyuan could not tolerate having other close people around him, so he would just mention the good things about others, his friends and his family in front of him, just to not leave an exclusive place for him.

"Beep beep-"

A rapid ring of a cell phone attracted the attention of both men. Bai Zhiyan pulled back the hand he was holding and answered the call.

"Okay, I'll go to the school gate now." Bai Zhiyan agreed, and driver Zhou came to pick him up.

"I'm going back, squad leader."

"Um……"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Zhiyan got up from the bed and put on his clothes. He looked at Xu Shiyuan who was still brainstorming, curled the corners of his mouth, and then leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"Squad leader, I forgot to answer you just now. I didn't tell Li Enna anything about you."

Hearing his words, Xu Shiyuan turned around suddenly and met his starry eyes that were shining with cunning and smile. He felt his throat dry and itchy, and his pupils began to tremble unconsciously. After his consciousness was pulled away from the complex emotions, he finally found his voice.

"Why, why?"

"Because I don't want to tell anyone else everything about you."

Xu Shiyuan's thoughts were wandering, as if someone was setting off fireworks in his mind, and what was burning with the crackling sound was his reason. He could not hear or see anything except Bai Zhiyan, and every time he opened and closed his eyes, he saw Bai Zhiyan's eyes full of smiles when he spoke.

Bai Zhiyan was in a good mood as he watched his cheeks gradually turn red. It was really wishful thinking for him to want to dominate his emotions without any provocation.

Che Jingcan never does things according to the rules. Bai Zhiyan can't grasp the key points and always loses control in front of him. But Xu Shiyuan is different. Bai Zhiyan deliberately approached him from the beginning. Bai Zhiyan can feel his sensitive psychology, complex emotions and dark thoughts.

Bai Zhiyan didn’t know whether it was a “double happiness” that he was being targeted by two people.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. When he walked to the door of the infirmary, he did not forget to give Xu Shiyuan the last dose of strong medicine.

"Shi Yuan, I failed the exam this time and I'm afraid I need to take cram school again. Do you remember what you promised me during the day?"

He was talking about Xu Shiyuan offering to help him with his tutoring.

Xu Shiyuan hadn't recovered from what he had just said. His head turned like a machine and he opened his dry lips and said, "Remember."

"Then I'll have to rely on you from now on, Teacher Xu——"

After saying that, Bai Zhiyan turned around and left without any reluctance, leaving Xu Shiyuan alone sitting on the bed in the infirmary, feeling his heart beating like a drum.

He did it on purpose. He first mentioned other people in front of Xu Shiyuan, showing his closeness with those people and arousing Xu Shiyuan's possessiveness. Then he used these ambiguous words to show that he also had a different position in his heart, making him angry and excited. After that, he deliberately ignored him. Xu Shiyuan would definitely be furious and crazy. This was a way of torturing him psychologically.

Xu Shiyuan did take the bait. He stared blankly in the direction where Bai Zhiyan left, pressing his wildly beating heart with both hands, and his brain automatically replaying what he had just said and his smiling face.

He was finished. These were the only three words in Xu Shiyuan's mind. Just as he thought, Bai Zhiyan was a master at playing with other people's emotions. He could stir other people's heartstrings with just a few words. He couldn't beat him.

Not only Che Jingcan will be fascinated by him, as long as he wants, countless people will be seduced by him.

Bai Zhiyan, who was still suffering from a low fever, became more clear-headed at this moment. After getting in the car, he thought about which link had gone wrong.

If it was Xu Shiyuan who had abnormal thoughts about him, he could understand it, because he lacked love, was paranoid and had a dark heart. He had thought that there would be such a day when he was treated as a drifting wood by him, but Che Jingcan's feelings for him seemed very inexplicable to him.

He had hardly ever said a good word to Che Jingcan, and after his investigation into his private life failed, he no longer wanted to have anything to do with him, but everything seemed to be arranged in advance, and he always met him in various situations.

Could this also be related to the nodes at which various events occurred in the previous life?

Recalling the past, Bai Zhiyan began to have an uncontrollable headache again, so he had to stop recalling and continue analyzing the current situation.

If these two people have abnormal thoughts about him, then he can just take advantage of this and sit on the mountain and watch the fight. He just doesn't know if after Che Jingcan leaves with those harsh words today, he will become like he did in his previous life and let his younger brothers bully him.

When the vehicle slowly stopped, night had fallen. It was the end of autumn and the evening breeze was bleak, bringing a hint of chill. Bai Zhiyan pushed open the car door and couldn't help sneezing. He gently rubbed his cold arms and said goodbye to driver Zhou who was standing beside him.

Then, Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and pushed open the slightly quaint door in front of him. With a slight "creaky" sound, the door opened a crack, and a warm air flow blew in his face. His figure was gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

Bai Zhengren and Bai Jitai are not at home these days. He has been in contact with Ji Chengxun. According to him, there are some problems in Rijiang Group, and now these two people should be working hard in the company to solve the problems.

Bai Zhiyan was naturally happy and at ease without seeing these two people. Every time Bai Jitai went crazy, he had no power to resist. At least he wouldn't have any more wounds on his body during these days of absence.

"Ding Ding-"

His cell phone message ringtone rang, and before picking up the phone, Bai Zhiyan even wanted to guess who would send him the message.

Given Che Jingcan's unyielding and unacceptable character, it is unlikely that he was the one who left angrily today. It is very likely that it was Xu Shiyuan, a gloomy guy like a ghost. He always sends him messages persistently, regardless of whether he will reply or not.

It's just that he guessed wrong today, it wasn't anyone he thought of.
