Lima syndrome

Perhaps because of a busy day, Bai Zhiyan actually slept soundly on the sofa. After getting up, he stretched lazily with contentment.

He touched his forehead and felt that his fever had subsided. Then he simply tidied up the sofa that had been messed up by the sleepers and went to the bathroom to wash up.

I have a whole day of exams today. Although I failed a subject yesterday, I still need to prepare well for the exams in order to avoid having to retake them.

After washing up, the aunt at home started working and preparing breakfast.

"Master Jitai, please come down and have dinner."

Bai Zhiyan was stunned when he heard Aunt Han's voice. Is Bai Jitai at home? When did he come back?

He has an exam today, and he doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with Bai Jitai, otherwise he doesn't know what he will do to him.

Bai Zhiyan hurriedly swallowed the last bite of his breakfast, picked up his schoolbag and was about to run away.

"What's the rush so early in the morning?"

Bai Jita's frivolous and lazy voice sounded behind him. Bai Zhiyan wanted to pretend not to hear it, but his nose was the first to smell the overwhelming smell of alcohol on him. The distance between them now was not enough for him to escape successfully.

So Bai Zhiyan, who was a brave man not to suffer a loss, turned around stiffly and looked at him.

"I have a test today."

His tone was stiff and cold, completely different from the soft voice he used to call "brother" in his dream last night.

Bai Jitai lowered his eyes and smiled at his wary face, then raised his hand to straighten Bai Zhiyan's uneven collar.

"Good luck on your exam then."

Bai Zhiyan didn't know what was wrong with him all of a sudden and why he was acting like a caring brother. He was frightened by his unexpected intimate behavior and weird tone and took a step back, with the hair on his body standing on end.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Bai Jitai crossed his arms and found his irritated look a little funny.

"I'd rather ask you what are you going to do?"

"I want to be a good and responsible brother now, isn't that ok?"

Bai Zhiyan got goosebumps all over his body because of his crazy words.

"You should have said this when I first entered the Bai family, not now."

"You hold a grudge like that? Didn't I just beat you up a few times?"

He said this lightly with a condescending expression on his face. Bai Zhiyan frowned and a raging fire burned in his heart.

"You said it so lightly. Don't forget how you wanted to kill me before."

"Heh, Bai Zhiyan——"

Bai Jitai's face suddenly dropped, and his tone became as depressed as usual.

"When I give you face, you'd better accept it obediently. If Bai Zhengren hadn't been watching me these days, do you think I would be willing to say these things to you?"

He grabbed Bai Zhiyan's hair and pulled him in front of him, "Don't be so shameless."

Bai Zhiyan's facial features were distorted due to the pain, but he smiled miserably after hearing his remarks.

"I knew you didn't have such good intentions. If you are worried that Bai Zhengren is dissatisfied with you or is secretly observing you, I can cooperate with you."

"Will you cooperate with me?"

"Do you think you're the only one he's targeting?"

Bai Zhiyan met his fierce eyes without fear, and poked at his suspicions word by word. Only then did Bai Jitai let go and threw him aside.

"How are you going to cooperate with me?"

"As long as Bai Zhengren is at home, I will never tell him anything about what you did to me."

"Why should I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, I don't want to be monitored by Bai Zhengren either. That's all I have to say. If you don't believe me, I won't force you."

After saying that, Bai Zhiyan didn't care about his reaction. He packed his backpack and walked out the door.

Bai Zhiyan, who was irritated early in the morning, did not feel angry until he arrived at the examination room. He packed his belongings and saw that Xu Shiyuan at the table in front of him had not arrived yet. He let out a sigh of relief and buried his face in the table.

Xu Shiyuan arrived hurriedly a few minutes before the exam started, but Bai Zhiyan ignored his lateness and devoted himself to the test paper.

As soon as the ending ring rang, Bai Zhiyan grabbed the phone and left in a hurry without waiting for Xu Shiyuan to ask him to stay.

"Squad leader, I have an appointment today. We can talk next time if you have anything to say."

Xu Shiyuan could only watch his back as he left and grit his teeth.

Now Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan are both time bombs. He doesn't want to mess with either of them. Who knows when they will suddenly explode.

Also, after the last fight, Bai Zhiyan knew that the best way to deal with these two people was cold violence, especially Xu Shiyuan. He was not like Che Jingcan who would throw a tantrum and pester him to surrender. The more he was ignored, the more anxious he became.

The best strategy is to destroy the heart.

Bai Zhiyan's appointment was also fake. He just hid in a piano room, found a good seat and took out his lunch box. He felt inexplicably depressed while eating lunch here. In his previous life, he also avoided everyone and ate alone to avoid bullying.

"Hey, Xiuyan, I heard that everyone is saying that Jingcan and Baek Jiyeon have some improper relationship. Have you heard about it?"

Bai Zhiyan thought that no one would come to the piano room at this time, but unexpectedly two girls came in to smoke, and he hurriedly hid in the corner.

"How is that possible? How could Kyungchan like a boy?"

The girl named Xiu Yan immediately refuted.

"But I heard from Li Enna that she saw them kissing in the bathroom with her own eyes. Li Enna can't be wrong."

"She's just bullshitting! She must be making it up. I don't believe that Kyung Chan is dating Baek Ji Yeon."

"But I heard from Li Enna that Jingcan brother likes him very much."

Lee Eun-na? Why is she everywhere? How did she know that Cha Kyung-chan particularly liked him? But this Soo-yeon was really discerning. They were definitely not dating.

"Then she should get her eyes treated."

"Honestly, Xiu Yan, you should stop liking Jing Chan. I always feel that he has a bad temper and often hits people. It's really..."

To be honest, this is the absolute truth. Bai Zhiyan nodded in agreement with the girl's evaluation of Che Jingcan.

"That's because you are short-sighted. I've seen Jingcan beat up a senior who liked to tease a junior. He beat him so hard that he never dared to come to school again. It was really cool."

Bai Zhiyan was speechless. This Xiu Yan still didn't understand how bad Che Jingcan's real character was.

"Really? I didn't expect Kyung-chan to have such a helpful side."

"That's right. When I was harassed by some thugs before, it was Jingcan who helped me drive them away."

"Oh my god, I really need to change my mind about Kyung-chan."

Girl, you turned against me too quickly.

"Yeah, I was saying that Jingcan is actually a pretty good guy, tall, handsome, kind-hearted and always willing to help others."

"It would be so lucky if he liked me!"

Bai Zhiyan, who was liked by Che Jingcan at this time, couldn't help but shiver. He was indifferent to what they talked about. He just thought that the adolescent girl had read too many romance novels and comics. It was understandable that Che Jingcan, a rebellious rich boy who happened to have a good-looking face, would be liked by a young girl.

The two people's voices gradually faded away. After they left, Bai Zhiyan could no longer eat his meal. Seeing that there was no more sound outside the door, he dusted himself off and walked out of the piano room.

Not long after Bai Zhiyan left, Che Jingcan came out of the empty classroom next door, followed by the two girls who were talking just now.

"Brother Jingcan, how was our performance just now?" Sooyeon looked at him excitedly.

"It's okay." Che Jingcan waved his hand, his eyes still following Bai Zhiyan who had already gone far away.

The two girls smiled at each other and bowed to Che Jingcan very professionally.

"Thank you for your support of our drama club. If you need anything, please contact us in advance next time."

Che Jingcan turned his gaze back to the two girls only after he saw that there was no one around.

"I have already transferred the money, and I have also had someone deliver the limited edition handbag I mentioned earlier to your club. I will contact you two again if I need it."

The two were extremely delighted and smiled happily at Che Jingcan.

"Thank you, brother Jingcan. I hope you can catch up with your sister-in-law soon, and live happily together with her."

"Brother Jingcan is very generous. Sooner or later, your sister-in-law will understand your feelings for him."

Che Jingcan felt flattered by the two of them calling him sister-in-law. He coughed twice to suppress the secret joy in his heart and waved his hand calmly on the surface.

"You two girls are quite good at talking. I'll give you a little more tip."

The two of them left with a smile after making a lot of money. Che Jingcan picked up his phone and sent a message to Bai Zhiyan's friend who was in the same examination room, asking him to keep an eye on Bai Zhiyan and to notify him in time if anything happened.

There will be a three-day holiday after the exam. Bai Zhiyan handed in the test paper in advance and quickly packed his things. He was very tired now and didn't want to be pestered by Xu Shiyuan.

When he returned to the Bai family, Bai Jitai was gone. He went upstairs to his room and lay down on the bed to relax.

Late last night, Ji Seung-hoon sent him a message, saying that he had caught some evidence against Bai Zhengren and Bai Jitae. He didn't see it until this morning, so the two of them made an appointment to meet and talk tomorrow when Bai Zhiyan was resting.

When Bai Zhiyan thought of Ji Chengxun, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. In his heart, Ji Chengxun was more like an elder brother who took care of and loved him. This attachment and hatred were the same, and were passed down from the previous life without any difference.

The next day, Bai Zhiyan got up early in the morning, washed and prepared, and did not pay attention to the vibrating phone next to him, because Xu Shiyuan would always send him messages persistently. Two days ago, he turned Xu Shiyuan's message notification to vibrate, so he didn't care at all now.

He remembered that Ji Seung-hoon liked to wear coats in private, so he found a light beige woolen coat from the closet, paired it with a white turtleneck sweater and straight-leg pants, which was completely different from his usual black and white outfit.

As the agreed time was approaching, Bai Zhiyan suddenly remembered his cell phone which he had forgotten for a long time. After calling driver Zhou, he went downstairs, got in the car and set off.

"Master Zhiyan, you look different today than usual." Driver Zhou said with a smile.

"Really? Because I'm going to meet an important person today." Bai Zhiyan responded with a smile.

"No wonder, Master Zhiyan, if you were always like this today, that would be great."

"why?"

"Because you always looked sad in the past, but today you look particularly energetic, which is more like what you should look like at your age."

After hearing driver Zhou's answer, Bai Zhiyan felt a little warm in his heart. He was one of the few people in the world who truly cared about him. Even his every move that he didn't notice on weekdays was noticed by him.

"Well, I will."

After getting in the car, Bai Zhiyan turned on his phone which had been vibrating since before he got in the car. As soon as he turned it on, many messages popped up, all of which were from Xu Shiyuan.

"Ji Yan is having a day off today, what do you need?"

"The store where I work part-time has given me a day off and I want to come look for you, can I?"

"Ji Yan, are you home?"

"Do you remember that you said I was welcome to come to your house anytime?"

"I learned a few new dishes and want to cook them for you."

"You said you wanted me to help you with your homework."

"Why don't you reply to my message?"

"Ji Yan, did I do something wrong? Why are you ignoring me?"

……

"Are you pretending you didn't see that?"

When Bai Zhiyan saw the last one, he felt his scalp tingling, and he had the illusion that he was haunted by an evil spirit.

Although he was deliberately ignoring him, Xu Shiyuan's relentless pursuit was quite creepy. If he didn't reply quickly, he might come to the Bai family and wait for him.

"I'm sorry, Shiyuan, I just went to take a shower and couldn't reply to your message in time. I already have an appointment today. I'm sorry that I can't study with you."

As soon as the message was sent, there was a reply.

"With whom? Where are you going? What are you going to do?"

At this time, driver Zhou had just driven the car out of the gate of the wealthy area. Bai Zhiyan put down his phone and looked around suspiciously, fearing that Xu Shiyuan would jump out from some corner to stop the car and ask him where he was going.

"I'm going out to eat with a brother I've been getting along well with lately. I'll introduce you to each other when I get a chance."

A brother with whom you have a very good relationship?

Xu Shiyuan, who was correcting his wrong questions, stared at the screen of his mobile phone after seeing Bai Zhiyan's reply. A twisted look suddenly appeared on his gloomy face. He wished he could see a hole through the phone, and the pencil in his hand broke into two pieces without him noticing.

Where on earth did he get so many friends and brothers? Both men and women had to take a seat next to him!

I really want to kill them!

Xu Shiyuan wanted to kill all of these people. A disobedient bad boy like Bai Zhiyan should be locked up so that he can never move freely again and understand the consequences of making friends randomly!

Bai Zhiyan, who had already gotten off the car on the other side, suddenly shivered. He had dressed warmly today, so why was he still feeling cold?

While he was wondering, Ji Seung-hoon had already arrived at the restaurant where they had agreed to meet. It was the restaurant where he and Cha Kyung-chan had their first meal, and it was also the place where he and Ji Seung-hoon met by chance for the second time.

"Seung-hoon hyung!"

Seeing Ji Seung-hoon approaching, Bai Zhiyan smiled happily and ran over to greet him.

"Run slower, be careful not to fall."

Chi Chengxun's face was gentle and his voice was soft. He carefully supported Bai Zhiyan's arm and straightened his blown hair.

"Go in first, this matter is a bit tricky."

"it is good."
