Lima syndrome

Bai Jitai's voice was so low that it almost penetrated his throat and flowed into his chest. Just this one word was so cold that it went straight to Bai Zhiyan's bones.

"Which of my words just now do you think was acting?"

Bai Zhiyan thought his question was ridiculous. Since he returned to the Bai family, except for the violence he used against himself, his every action and every word was acting. In front of Bai Zhengren, he pretended to be a mature, steady and caring brother. In front of Bai Jiying, he pretended to be a good brother who was friendly and loving to his younger brother.

It's really disgusting.

"Every sentence."

His answer was powerful and if words could be transformed into entities, he would probably have smashed a large hole in the white tiles in the hall all the way to the basement.

Faced with his obvious provocation, Bai Jitai, contrary to his usual behavior, did not get angry or use violence to oppress him. He just smiled and folded his arms again, looking Bai Zhiyan up and down as if he were looking at a pet.

"But I'm not lying. You exist to provide me with my pleasure. Why should I hate you?"

He smiled frivolously. Although Bai Zhiyan didn't understand how he saw him, he knew it was definitely not a good thing. He had no interest in making himself unhappy, so he glanced at him and turned to go upstairs.

"Don't go, don't you have any interest in how I think of you?"

He stretched out his long arms and pulled Bai Zhiyan off the stairs with almost no effort.

Bai Zhiyan was originally walking up the stairs, and the person behind him didn't need to exert any effort to pull him backwards. This unpleasant feeling of weightlessness made Bai Zhiyan instantly recall the moment when he fell from the rooftop.

However, this time, what greeted him was not the icy cold concrete floor. Instead, his back hit Bai Jitai's shoulder and neck, and the latter held him steady as a rock.

But the panic in his heart would not dissipate because of this, not to mention that the person behind him was the culprit who sent him to the door of death when he became disabled.

He turned around and shook off Bai Jitai almost instantly. Looking at his three-dimensional and cold face that was as sharp as a knife and an axe, Bai Zhiyan could only feel uncontrollable fear. He still found it difficult to overcome his fear of Bai Jitai. Even though he brainwashed himself every day to hypnotize himself not to be afraid of him, as long as he saw this face, his forced disguise would fall apart in an instant.

"Do not touch me!"

His voice betrayed his owner's forced calmness, and the trembling at the end of the tone made it easy for the other party to see what he was thinking at the moment.

So Bai Jitai grinned with contempt.

Although Bai Zhiyan had never seen Satan, he still felt that his smile was more terrifying than that of the devil. If there were a devil in the world, he would definitely have a face like Bai Jitai.

"I haven't finished talking yet. You are always rude and end your conversation with your elders early."

"I do not want to hear."

"But the more you don't want to listen, the more I want to tell you." He gently stroked the handrail of the stairs and slowly approached Bai Zhiyan, who was two steps higher than him.

"I hope you will be an obedient dog, but you always make me angry and unhappy. However, even so, I don't want to give up on you."

He walked up one step, and they were now of the same height. It was also the first time that Bai Zhiyan looked him in the eye.

"Because I think it's more fun to tame a disobedient dog than to kill him easily."

The two were very close at this time, and Bai Zhiyan could not avoid it and smelled the familiar and disgusting smell on him again.

"What do you say?"

"Tame me?"

Bai Zhiyan sneered, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain, "Then I want to congratulate you in advance on your failure."

"Yes, that's it." A sinister gleam flashed across Bai Jitai's eyes.

"The more you resist and attack me, the more I want to break your legs and tie up your arms. You can't walk and can only cry and beg me to let you go. That's what a real dog is, right?"

The strange thing is that in the past, Bai Zhiyan would definitely feel panicked when hearing such words. He would be afraid that Bai Jitai would take him to a basement full of torture instruments in the next second.

But the fear that had lingered in his heart for a long time suddenly disappeared. He was clearly still trying hard to hold back his trembling body the moment before, but when he said those words, he actually felt calm. He didn't know whether he had become immune to his words, or because he was so tired that it was difficult to react.

He even wondered if he was crazy too.

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The day you fantasize about will never come. On the contrary-"

Bai Zhiyan paused and concealed all emotions in his eyes. His tone was as calm as water, and a silky beauty appeared on his fair and delicate face.

"I advise you that if you try to use suppression, force or damage to destroy something you have been eager to obtain, you will only end up suffering from the backlash and burns."

If he would soften his heart for a moment when he saw the good side of Cha Kyung-chan, or feel a little sympathy when he knew about Seo Shi-won's family situation and past experiences, the only thing that did not change was his perception of Baek Ji-tae.

He is still that complete lunatic and unforgivable villain.

Bai Zhiyan thinks that he is a half-good person who wants to degenerate but cannot overcome his conscience. He wants to become completely bad and kill all those who have hurt and bullied him, but the moral values ​​he learned since childhood have been suppressing his evil heart, making him the body he is today that still has compassion.

Since returning to this world, his cognition and thoughts have been changing due to the changes in his surroundings. The only thing that prevented him from completely integrating into it and making it difficult for him to distinguish between the past and the present is Bai Jita.

Because he is still so bad that it makes people nauseated and disgusted.

"Backlash?"

His deep voice is full of characteristics that the opposite sex likes, and the two words sound like the sound of a breath exhaled after being warmed in the mouth.

"I want to see whether my own malice will backfire on me in the end, or whether you will be torn to pieces by me first."

After saying this, Bai Jitai just looked at him deeply. They had never maintained such a strange silence when they were sober and alone, and Bai Zhiyan also had no new wounds on his body, which was rare.

He looked back at Bai Jitai's sharp eyes, not wanting to confront him and continue this tense atmosphere, so he broke the silence with his action.

He took a step back, stood on a step higher than him, and looked down at him slightly, his voice without a trace of trembling or fear.

"Then I'll wait and see."

The seven-day holiday finally ended, and Bai Zhiyan finally set out on the road to school again.

It was already winter, and although the first snow had not yet fallen, the cold wind still kept blowing into his body. Bai Zhiyan tightened the scarf around his neck. It was the one his mother had knitted for him.

"Brother Zhiyan, long time no see."

The clear and pleasant voice of a girl came from behind him, and Bai Zhiyan curved his eyebrows and smiled at Liu Zhimin.

“Jimin, long time no see.”

Liu Zhimin was wearing a beige coat today with a snow-white fur collar around her neck, which made her fair cheeks look as radiant as a lotus.

The two walked side by side. Bai Zhiyan noticed that the atmosphere was not right when he just entered the classroom. However, Liu Zhimin was still unaware and happily wanted to greet the classmates standing at the door.

Bai Zhiyan grabbed her backpack strap from behind, pulled her in front of him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't talk yet."

Although Liu Zhimin didn't understand, she still nodded obediently.

However, the two of them were discovered by someone as soon as they appeared at the door. Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, Xu Shiyuan stared at Liu Zhimin and clenched his fists.

Everyone in the class was looking in the same direction at this time. At the back door of the classroom, a boy was sitting on the ground, frowning his face and looking at the ferocious boys in front of him with a very painful expression.

"Don't be so fucking hypocritical. It's your blessing to ask you to run errands to buy coffee for Jingcan. Who the hell do you think you are to say no?"

As he said this, the boy kicked the boy on the ground hard. The boy groaned and turned his body to the side without saying a word, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain.

"Are you fucking dumb and can't speak?"

After the words fell, there was another kick.

Bai Zhiyan carefully identified that the two boys who were beating people were the two younger brothers who had been following Gao Enshuo. After Gao Enshuo left, they found ways to get close to Che Jingcan every day.

He vaguely remembered that the person who was beaten was a boy named Jin Nanxian who was in the same team with Xu Shiyuan during the study tour.

He glanced at Che Jingcan's seat. He hadn't come to school yet. It seemed that these two boys were taking advantage of their power to cause trouble for him.

There is no need to even look at Xu Shiyuan. He would not have any emotional fluctuations towards anyone other than Bai Zhiyan. Even now when there was a heated argument in the back, Xu Shiyuan's eyes were still on Bai Zhiyan's hand on Liu Zhimin's shoulder.

“Why should I buy it?”

Kim Nam-hyun covered his abdomen which had been kicked many times, and barely held up his upper body, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much? I think you are really tired of living!"

The two younger brothers looked at each other, raised their fists and started beating people again.

Everyone in the class was watching their farce with a spectator's mentality, and no one wanted to stop their violent behavior. Bai Zhiyan couldn't bear it anymore, so he let go of Liu Zhimin and quickly walked to the back.

"stop fighting."

He simply grabbed a man's arm and forcibly stopped him from hitting him.

The man was about the same size as Bai Zhiyan. Bai Zhiyan grabbed him tightly and he couldn't break free for a while. He turned around and cursed him viciously.

"Damn it, what bastard dares to stop me?"

"You'll put him in the hospital if you do this."

"Who the hell are you!"

The man finally broke free from Bai Zhiyan's hand with a strong effort. He rubbed his wrist, cursing and trying to grab Bai Zhiyan's clothes.

"Don't touch him yet!"

The other tall guy was almost scared to death when he saw his actions and quickly pulled the man's hand back.

"Fuck, why the hell are you stopping me?"

"Are you mentally ill? I've heard before that Jingcan brother stood up for him and told everyone not to bother Bai Zhiyan. Are you tired of living?"

After hearing his words, the man looked at Bai Zhiyan strangely, but still expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Who knows if this is true or not? Who is he? We are all following Brother Jingcan now. Is it possible that Brother Jingcan will teach you and me a lesson because of him?"

"Have you fucking forgotten why they said Gao Enshuo was forced to change classes in the first place?"

Che Jingcan was worried because these two people were not there when Bai Zhiyan beat Gao Enshuo, and they heard about it from hearsay. Moreover, they were Gao Enshuo's followers. After Gao Enshuo left, they immediately came over to please Che Jingcan, and they didn't know what happened that day.

So the two of them chatted with each other and no longer paid attention to Bai Zhiyan and Jin Nanxian.

Bai Zhiyan didn't want to pay attention to these two idiots. He walked to Jin Nanxian, bent down and extended his hand to him.

"Are you okay? I'll pull you up."

Jin Nanxian was a little surprised. He looked at Bai Zhiyan with mixed emotions in his eyes, because he and Bai Zhiyan had never had any interaction before. Although they were in the same class, they had never said a word to each other. His understanding of Bai Zhiyan still remained at the time when Xu Shiyuan and Che Jingcan quarreled because of him during the study tour.

As if he could see that he was hesitating, Bai Zhiyan didn't force him, but just took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Then wipe it yourself."

"Thank you, thank you..."

After thanking him, Kim Nam-hyun took the tissue and stood up with some difficulty.

At this time Liu Zhimin also came over. He looked at Bai Zhiyan with some worry, afraid that the two men would attack Bai Zhiyan. He stood in front of Bai Zhiyan with his trembling body.

"If you two still want to beat people up, I'm going to go find the teacher!"

Bai Zhiyan turned around and saw this scene. In the past, he was always bullied and beaten. This was the first time someone stood in front of him to protect him. It would be a lie to say he was not moved.

He looked at Liu Zhimin's petite body that was still trembling, smiled faintly and pulled her behind him.

"It's okay Jimin, don't be afraid of them."

Bai Zhiyan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft and fell into the ears of the two people and the whole class. The confidence and determination in his tone made Liu Zhimin stunned for a moment and let him pull her over.

Xu Shiyuan, who had been observing the situation behind, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood next to Bai Zhiyan in full view of everyone's gazes, separating the two people who were sticking close to each other without leaving a trace.

"Ji Yan, are you okay?"

His question made Bai Zhiyan find it funny. He had been watching them arguing in the back like a spectator. He didn't make any move when the people on the opposite side wanted to pick a fight with him. He didn't come earlier or later, but just when he saw him protecting Liu Zhimin. Maybe his problem had worsened.

"I'm fine. They are the ones who should be in trouble."

There was a playful expression on his face, and he really didn't take these two idiots seriously.

After hearing Bai Zhiyan's words, the two people stopped arguing. The moment they saw Xu Shiyuan, there was obviously a hint of interest on their faces.

"Hey, isn't this our monitor? What? The monitor is here to help that poor guy? You two both came to Silver Star with social support. You finally know how to find your own companions."

The man who caught Bai Zhiyan spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if he had long looked down on Xu Shiyuan and today he took the opportunity to mock him.
