Lima syndrome

As if things weren't bad enough, Che Jingcan was unable to move as he carried Bai Zhiyan on his back. It was pitch dark in the forest at night. Bai Zhiyan struggled to find the flashlight prepared for him by Butler Li in his backpack. He shone it on Che Jingcan's back. Although the light was dim, it was better than nothing.

Bai Zhiyan wiped his face wet by the rain, and did not forget to push away the loose hair on Che Jingcan's forehead, otherwise he would not be able to see that if he fell, it would be both of them who would suffer.

Relying only on the faint light, the two of them wandered around in the woods. When Bai Zhiyan sneezed for the third time due to the cold, he discovered a cave not far away.

"Che Jingcan, Che Jingcan, look over there!"

He shouted and hurriedly patted Che Jingcan's shoulder, pointing in the direction of the cave.

"I see. We'll be there soon."

After stumbling a lot, the two finally found a place to hide from the rain.

After entering the cave, Che Jingcan found a relatively stable place to put the person down. Bai Zhiyan placed the flashlight on the stone wall, and the cave suddenly became bright.

Che Jingcan usually carried a lighter with him when he smoked. He used the light of a flashlight to pick up some branches in the cave. After Bai Zhiyan helped put them together, he slowly lit the fire.

The flame was not big, but the temperature was enough to warm the two people's cold bodies.

"Come closer." Che Jingcan pulled Bai Zhiyan's arm.

However, their clothes had long been soaked by the rain and were sticking to their bodies, which was very uncomfortable. Bai Zhiyan frowned and pulled at his clothes a few times. Che Jingcan noticed his little action, and remembering the injury on his foot, he put his hands under his armpits, lifted him up in front of him, and put his body around him to face the fire.

"How are your feet?"

"Fortunately."

Che Jingcan's voice came from behind Bai Zhiyan's ear. He felt a little itchy from the air he exhaled. He tilted his head to avoid it but happened to lean on his shoulder.

The orange-yellow flames kept jumping, and the postures of the two at this moment were a little ambiguous. Feeling Che Jingcan getting closer and closer, Bai Zhiyan's body stiffened for a moment. He didn't care about the pain in his feet and wanted to sit up straight and move away from him.

"do not move."

Seeing his intention, Che Jingcan simply grasped the man and held him firmly in his arms.

"don't want--"

"Don't want what?" His voice was tinged with a smile.

"Will the counselor notice that we are missing?" Bai Zhiyan felt a little awkward and changed the subject awkwardly.

"I guess a lot of people won't be going back tonight, so he probably won't notice us."

The counselor has never been able to do anything with these young masters and young ladies in the class, and now that they are out, he is even more helpless.

"Then we-"

"There is no signal on the mountain. We can only go down at dawn tomorrow."

Bai Zhiyan remained silent after hearing this, and Che Jingcan also did not speak. The two of them maintained this posture and did not move.

Perhaps because he caught a cold from the rain, Bai Zhiyan shivered and sneezed twice loudly, not even thinking about how to avoid him.

Feeling his trembling, Che Jingcan tightened his arms and hugged him even tighter, trying to transfer his body temperature to him.

"Do you have a fever?"

Bai Zhiyan's body temperature was gradually rising, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. Che Jingcan turned his body over, looked at his tightly closed eyes, and tentatively touched his forehead.

"So hot."

He had no experience in caring for patients and was at a loss for a moment.

"Dead Fish Face, tell me where you feel uncomfortable?"

"Um……"

Bai Zhiyan was so dizzy from the fever that he couldn't tell who was talking in front of him. He just felt his face getting hot and wanted to get closer to the cool thing on his forehead.

Che Jingcan's hand was rubbed back and forth by him, and he reached out to hold him tightly. This was the first time that Bai Zhiyan took the initiative to approach him. Che Jingcan felt a surge of joy, and slowly moved over and hugged him face to face.

Bai Zhiyan's clothes were not dry yet. The wind blew through the cave from time to time, causing him to shiver again.

"cold……"

"It's okay, just hold on tight and you won't be cold."

Bai Zhiyan felt dizzy. After hearing the words of the big stove in his arms, he subconsciously raised his arms and wrapped them around his neck, tightening them hard and sticking to him like a koala.

Che Jingcan held him closer to the fire, and only protected him after making sure that the wind from the cave entrance could not reach him. He found water in Bai Zhiyan's backpack and put the bottle on his forehead to cool him down.

He looked down at the person in his arms with a flushed face and closed eyes. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to play with his sweat-soaked hair and sighed softly.

"You're really like a good baby now. It would be great if you could stick to me like this when you're sick."

Bai Zhiyan rested his head on his shoulder and heard him snort twice in dissatisfaction with what he said.

Che Jingcan couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this, he lowered his head and gently kissed his eyes, nose and cheeks with his lips, the small kisses fell little by little, finally he looked at his pink lips, his eyes darkened, closed his eyes and kissed him.

Bai Zhiyan felt hot and uncomfortable all over, and scenes of being bullied in his previous life began to flash through his mind again and again. He tried hard to open his eyes and escape from the nightmare, but he had no strength.

"Why? Why don't you like me? Is it because of our bad first encounter or because of what Gao Enshuo did? You always give me a cold face and don't tell me the reason. I want to change but I don't know how to change."

He couldn't wake up and could only hear someone nagging in his ear. The noise gave him a headache and he just wanted the person to shut up.

"What type of person do you like? Is it someone like Liu Zhimin? She's like a follower, calling you brother behind you. What's good about that? You don't just like to hear others call you brother, do you?"

I've already told you that I don't like Liu Zhimin!

Bai Zhiyan was furious. He had denied it so many times. Why did people still misunderstand him? However, only he could hear his rebuttal.

"You said before that you don't like her. Why do you smile so beautifully at her? You even smile like that at Xu Shiyuan, but you don't smile when you see me. Are you trying to seduce them?"

This is pure fart!

Hearing this man slandering him like this, Bai Zhiyan was so angry that he wanted to hit him. He desperately shouted to deny it and scolded him for slandering him, but in the end he only uttered two "mmm" sounds.

"What? Are you unhappy?"

Che Jingcan chuckled when he heard his voice, and seeing his wrinkled little face, he raised his hand and pinched it, pulling up the soft flesh on his face and making a funny expression.

Don't touch my face! Bai Zhiyan shouted in his heart, and his body arched subconsciously.

"Uh-huh..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Just go to sleep."

He put down his hand and gently placed it on Bai Zhiyan, holding him tightly and leaning him against the stone wall. The disturbing voice disappeared, and Bai Zhiyan fell asleep again.

It was late at night and the only sounds were the tireless rain outside the cave and the crackling of burning branches inside. Bai Zhiyan was so deep in sleep that he missed Che Jingcan's hoarse murmur.

"Good dreams, Brother Zhiyan."

Early the next morning, Che Jingcan, whose body was numbed by Bai Zhiyan's pressure, woke up first.

The rain had stopped late at night, and now the sun had just risen. The sky was rosy, and the golden sunlight shone into the cave. Looking up, you could see the distant mountains dyed orange-red by the sunlight.

A breeze blew by, and Che Jingcan looked at the person who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and rubbed his face contentedly.

He wished that this moment could last forever.

The light was just right at that moment, and he suddenly had an idea. He took out his cell phone with no signal and took a picture of Bai Zhiyan who was sleeping obediently and peacefully in his arms.

This was also the only photo he had saved. He didn't know at the time that he would get through countless sleepless nights with just this photo.

"Forehead……"

Che Jingcan's movement was not big, but it accidentally woke him up. When Bai Zhiyan opened his eyes with a wrinkled face, the first person he saw was Che Jingcan. He thought he was still dreaming and blinked to try to wake himself up.

Che Jingcan couldn't help but smile when he saw his dazed look, and leaned over to give him a kiss on the face.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked softly.

Feeling his breath, Bai Zhiyan finally came to his senses. He suddenly stood up and pushed away Che Jingcan who was hugging him tightly, not understanding what was going on.

But he forgot that his foot was injured. His big movement pulled the wound and he gasped in pain.

"hiss--"

"You let me move around, the wound must be hurting again."

Although Che Jingcan's words were meant to blame him, his tone was full of heartache. He took advantage of Bai Zhiyan's opportunity to pull him back into his arms, and pressed his forehead without waiting for him to resist.

"It's not hot anymore. It looks like the fever has gone down."

"I, I have a fever?"

When Bai Zhiyan opened his mouth to speak, he found that his voice had become hoarse and unpleasant, like a shriveled duck.

"Yes."

Che Jingcan opened the bottle of water and handed it to his lips. Bai Zhiyan was so thirsty that he opened his mouth and drank all the water in the bottle with the help of his hand.

"I didn't know you were so clingy when you were sick."

"what?"

"You did something unspeakable to me last night when you had a fever. I am embarrassed to recall it."

Che Jingcan didn't look at him with malicious intent, but kept saying some suggestive words to lure him into asking more questions.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Zhiyan was afraid that he had really done something shameful, so he hurriedly grabbed his clothes and asked him questions.

"What happened to me last night?"

Seeing him being fooled, Che Jingcan was in a good mood. He raised his face proudly and moved closer to him, pretending to be reluctant and said, "If you kiss me, I will tell you."

"hehe."

Bai Zhiyan sneered and raised his hand to push his face aside, "You can say it or not."

"cut."

Che Jingcan was not angry even though his plan failed. He had already made enough money last night. He turned around, grabbed his hand and kissed him on the face again.

"what are you doing!"

Bai Zhiyan straightened up and his face flushed red.

"If you don't kiss me, I'll kiss you. I took care of you all night, so you should ask for some reward."

He looked innocent and said as if it was a matter of course. Bai Zhiyan, who was being molested, was so angry that he wanted to slap him again.

Afraid that he would really get angry, Che Jingcan stopped teasing him, held his shoulders and slowly helped him up.

When Bai Zhiyan stood up on the ground, he found that his feet seemed to hurt more than yesterday. He probably thought that the wound had become inflamed due to being soaked in water.

"Come up, I'll carry you out."

Che Jingcan squatted down naturally and patted his calf without any shyness.

Seeing him like this, Bai Zhiyan didn't want to harm his body anymore, so he bent over and leaned against him.

The mountain road was muddy after the rain. There were many times when Che Jingcan slipped and was about to fall, and Bai Zhiyan would grab his neck tightly out of fear.

"Clingy, be gentle, are you trying to murder your husband?"

Hearing his rude words, Bai Zhiyan grabbed his ears angrily.

"Shut up now."

It took them an hour to finally get down the mountain successfully. They took a taxi to the hospital in a mess. The doctor applied medicine and bandaged Bai Zhiyan's wound and gave him some precautions. Che Jingcan listened more seriously than the patient himself.

After packing the prescribed medicine, the two took a taxi back to the hotel. After last night's rain, they were so dirty that it was unbearable to look at. Bai Zhiyan wrapped the wound with plastic film and went to the bathroom to wash up. Che Jingcan was outside the door, listening to the sound of running water, and his mind was distracted. The blush on his face did not fade until he came out.

Bai Zhiyan was wearing a bathrobe with a slightly open collar. The undried water traces slid down his fair neck to his collarbone and finally disappeared into the depths.

He was wiping his hair with a towel in his hand, his sleeves slipped down to reveal a slender arm. He was afraid to use force on his injured left foot and tried to jump to the bed in hops.

Che Jingcan's face was redder than the clouds at sunrise. He couldn't stand Bai Zhiyan's clumsy appearance, so he simply took a big step forward and picked him up horizontally.

"What are you doing?" Bai Zhiyan was startled by his sudden action.

"When will you be able to go to bed and rest like this?"

"I can do it myself."

"It's okay."

Without saying a word, he picked up the person and walked away. When he got to the bed, he threw the person onto it. Bai Zhiyan's face was on the pillow with his butt facing up. He propped himself up and turned around to scold him, but the person was gone.

Bai Zhiyan was speechless. He didn't want to pay attention to what he was doing. He pulled open the quilt, slowly lay down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Che Jingcan was not as comfortable as him. He hurriedly fled the scene, only to feel that his whole body was covered with the fragrance of lemon. He was disturbed by the smell and quickly went into the bathroom.

But Bai Zhiyan had just walked out of here, and the fragrance inside was even stronger than on him. Che Jingcan could hardly breathe, his heart was pounding, and all the blood in his body was gathered in one place. Thinking of the person lying on the bed just outside the door, the heat in his body became even more difficult to control.

He thought of Bai Zhiyan's obedient look leaning in his arms last night, his little face that came close to him, and the coquettishness and dependence that he unconsciously revealed. He was just glad that he could still keep his sanity, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to help but rush out and pin the person under him.

"Grass--"

He cursed inwardly and then began to breathe heavily.

An hour had passed when he came out of the bathroom. He wiped his wet hair and when he came out, Bai Zhiyan was already asleep on the bed.

He had seen Bai Zhiyan sleeping many times, but this was the first time they slept in the same room.

Bai Zhiyan always has nightmares when he sleeps. He lacks a sense of security and buries almost his entire face in the quilt. Although Che Jingcan wants to see his face, he is afraid of waking him up, so he finally puts down his hand.

Che Jingcan has been busy these two days, but now he is lying in bed without any sleepiness. He turned sideways and looked in the direction of Bai Zhiyan, and couldn't help but recall the touch of him in his arms last night, and he felt it again.

"Damn it, I'm going crazy."
