Lima syndrome

Bai Zhiyan crossed his arms and ignored him. Xu Shiyuan had a gloomy look on his face. The reason he didn't want to stand out was because he was afraid it would turn out like this.

But he was unwilling to watch Bai Zhiyan and Liu Zhimin leaning against each other. The consequence of his impulsiveness was to be ridiculed by such a bad person.

"It is wrong for you to openly bully your classmates in class. It has nothing to do with who I am."

The man sneered and grinned, "Tsk, why haven't I seen you so helpful before."

"What's wrong with helping classmates?"

"Yeah, then I'll make sure you never meddle in other people's business again!"

Seeing that the two were about to start a quarrel, Bai Zhiyan gave up his desire to watch the fun. After all, he came here to help, not to add fuel to the fire.

"Hey, you two."

The tense atmosphere was interrupted by Bai Zhiyan's voice, and the two younger brothers turned to look at him.

Bai Zhiyan ignored their gazes, raised his eyebrows and approached the younger brother who had been looking for trouble.

"You clearly know that Che Jingcan and I are deskmates, yet you still dare to come and make trouble for me. Aren't you afraid that I will tell him?"

His tone was soft and clear. If they hadn't heard clearly what he said, no one would have believed that someone could sound so calm in threatening words.

"So, so what!"

"It's nothing, I'm just reminding you out of kindness."

The two men saw that Bai Zhiyan was smiling happily and had no panic at all about telling lies, which made them inexplicably nervous.

Seeing this, other people in the class also started gossiping in low voices.

"How dare these two call themselves Che Jingcan's brothers? They don't even know that Che Jingcan and Bai Zhiyan have been so close recently."

"Who said it wasn't true? If I hadn't skipped school, I wouldn't have known about such important news."

Listening to the classmates whispering, the two began to think about backing out, but the man who had just scolded Bai Zhiyan was still a little unconvinced, and he stiffened his neck and said harsh words to Bai Zhiyan.

"Don't think that we will be afraid of you just because you rely on Brother Jingcan. If one day Brother Jingcan doesn't want to protect you anymore, we will definitely not let you, a nosy guy, go!"

Bai Zhiyan found his reckless look ridiculous, and then he actually laughed.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see how you won't let me go."

"you!"

He looked extremely angry, as if he had never been provoked like this before. He was still concerned about his relationship with Che Jingcan and did not dare to continue talking nonsense. So he changed his target and glared at Jin Nanxian and yelled at him.

"Don't be too complacent, you little brat. Don't think you're safe just because someone helps you today. As long as you're still in Silver Star, I'll have a chance to kill you sooner or later! Be careful!"

He kept cursing and swearing, and finally his tall accomplice next to him couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him away.

The crowd dispersed after watching the fun, and returned to their own things with a dull look on their faces.

"Bai Zhiyan, wait a minute."

Just as Bai Zhiyan was about to return to his seat with Liu Zhimin, Jin Nanxian stopped him.

"what happened?"

"Thank you for what happened today. Thank you for helping me out."

Jin Nanxian looked sincere, straightened his body and bowed slightly to him.

Bai Zhiyan quickly took a step to hold his arm and pulled him up, "It's nothing, I just can't stand them bullying people like this."

When Bai Zhiyan was bullied in the past, he always hoped that someone could come like God to save him and pull him out of the quagmire of pain.

But no.

No one rescued him when they saw his suffering, and no one helped him when they saw his tears.

What’s funny is that the situation has changed now, and he has become a bystander when others do evil.

So he decided to help him, just as he had once imagined that someone would help him.

"It's just that you didn't need to anger those two people because of me. I was worried that you would be in trouble."

Jin Nanxian's voice was a little hesitant. He didn't expect Bai Zhiyan to be involved in this fight. This was not the situation he wanted to see.

"This is not your fault. You don't have to take the blame on yourself. Even if those two people were bullying others today, I would have come out to stop them."

These words sounded like comfort, but every word Bai Zhiyan said was true. He didn't help just because the person being bullied was Jin Nanxian, the same went for others.

I don’t know if Kim Nam-hyun understood the meaning of his words, but he still thanked him politely and made a promise.

"Bai Zhiyan, although I am insignificant and have nothing to offer in return, I will definitely remember your help and will not refuse when you need me."

"No need for later, just today."

"what?"

Jin Nanxian thought he had heard it wrong and asked again hesitantly.

"If you want to repay me, then let's do it today?" Bai Zhiyan blinked with a very playful expression.

"So...what exactly are we going to do?"

"I remember there's a soup restaurant not far from the school. The owner's cooking is excellent. Why don't you treat me to a meal?"

Bai Zhiyan is the young master of the Bai family after all. How could he be satisfied with just a bowl of soup? Jin Nanxian was a little bit unbelievable, "Is that it?"

"Wait a moment--"

Before Bai Zhiyan could answer, Xu Shiyuan next to him couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't want him and Jin Nanxian to go out alone. Liu Zhimin and Che Jingcan were enough to give him a headache.

"What's wrong, monitor?"

Hearing Xu Shiyuan's interruption, they both looked at him at the same time, even Liu Zhimin, who was a little afraid of him, couldn't help but look at him.

"I...I've heard about that soup restaurant for a long time..."

He deliberately didn't finish his words, but Jin Nanxian was not a fool and immediately extended him an invitation enthusiastically.

"In that case, squad leader, do you want to eat with us?" He then asked Bai Zhiyan for his opinion, "Is it okay, Bai Zhiyan?"

Bai Zhiyan smiled and nodded. He naturally would not say no. It didn’t matter whether Xu Shiyuan was there or not.

The only one left was Liu Zhimin, who had not spoken a word. As soon as Jin Nanxian's eyes swept over, Liu Zhimin immediately waved her hand.

"Don't mind me. I never eat soup or rice."

Jin Nanxian didn't ask any more questions and just smiled at her.

He thought that Liu Zhimin was more like a noble child. On the other hand, Bai Zhiyan did not have the arrogance of a superior, nor was he spoiled and willful like other chaebol young ladies and young masters. Judging from the fact that he saved himself today, he was kind, brave, and knew when to advance and retreat.

After the few people agreed to disperse, Jin Nanxian was full of thoughts. He suddenly remembered the conversation between Xu Shiyuan and Che Jingcan during the study tour. At that time, the two of them quarreled fiercely and even fought. It was also the first time he saw Xu Shiyuan lose his temper like that. The two of them looked tense as if they were fighting for Bai Zhiyan.

Fight for Bai Zhiyan?

He looked in the direction of Bai Zhiyan and just saw his neck revealed when he lowered his head slightly. It was elegant and slender. From the side, the soft lines of his profile were also illuminated by the bright sunlight outside the window.

Now he finally understood that even if those two people were just looking at his face, Bai Zhiyan still had a decent appearance.

After the second class, Bai Zhiyan sat in his seat and stretched. He looked at the empty seat next to him with some confusion. Che Jingcan had not come yet.

He recalled what happened between him and Che Jingcan in the amusement park during the holidays. Could it be that this guy was hurt by his second rejection?

If it is really because of this, then when he is annoyed to the point of being unable to bear it, can I continue to use words of rejection to keep him away from me?

The more Bai Zhiyan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he felt uncontrollably excited.

But if Che Jingcan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely not ask for leave from school like this.

It was lunch time again. Today, without Che Jingcan's harassment, Bai Zhiyan planned to go to the supermarket to buy something to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as the bell rang, Xu Shiyuan walked quickly towards him with his lunch box.

Bai Zhiyan secretly thought that something was wrong. Before he could think of a reason to reject him, Xu Shiyuan had already spoken first.

"Jiyeon, do you want to eat with me? I prepared fried rice cakes and dumplings today."

As expected, Bai Zhiyan met his expectant eyes. His pale skin tinted a faint pink when he spoke. Even though his entire forehead was covered by his fine hair, Bai Zhiyan could not resist the light radiating from his eyes.

"I didn't bring my own lunch today, so I'm going to the store to get some. I won't bother you."

"Just eat mine. How can this be considered trouble? Didn't we always eat together before?"

"This is different."

"Why is it different?"

Bai Zhiyan felt his scalp tingling. If he had known earlier, he should have entangled with Liu Zhimin first. In this way, Xu Shiyuan would definitely not come close to him because he hated Liu Zhimin.

Just five minutes before the stalemate between the two, Li Enna's little follower was following her and helping her carry a bunch of food.

"Sister Enna, you brought so many things to Jingcan's class. Are you going to give him lunch?"

The little follower around Li Euna thought that she liked Che Jingcan now, so he asked naturally.

"These things were indeed entrusted by Brother Jingcan, but they are not for him." Li Enna still had a cigarette in her hand, and her tone was not very good.

"Why? What do you mean by 'Kyung-chan's request'?"

"He asked me to help buy it for someone else."

"Ah——" the little follower exaggeratedly drew out a long tone, somewhat indignantly, "If Jingcan didn't like it, you could just reject it directly. Why did you ask Sister Enna to help him buy things for people?"

The key point is that I still have to take the things I bought. The little follower only dared to keep this sentence in his heart.

"Damn it, I didn't even confess to him."

After hearing this, the little follower looked at Li Enna with some sympathy. She felt that Li Enna's current behavior was like a dog licking.

Li Enna naturally saw the complicated emotions in his eyes. He slapped her on the back of the head, lit a cigarette irritably, and spoke in a very unhappy tone.

"Don't worry about it, it's useless. I don't need him."

The little follower rubbed his head in grievance, but his gossiping heart was still not reduced. He continued to ask her in a muffled voice, "So, Sister Enna, do you dislike Brother Jingcan now?"

"I don't fucking like him. If I had known that he liked men—"

Li Enna was annoyed by her questioning and almost told her about Che Jingcan. She glared at her fiercely, then quickly left the little follower far behind.

Just when Bai Zhiyan was brainstorming about how to answer Xu Shiyuan's question about what was "different", Li Enna walked into their class like a god, bringing her little followers and a bunch of food.

"Brother Zhiyan, have you eaten?"

Li Enna is a master at changing her face. She was angry because of her follower's talkativeness just a second ago, but now she greets Bai Zhiyan with a smile.

"No, I haven't eaten yet."

This was the first time that Bai Zhiyan felt that Li Enna's lingering physique was somewhat useful.

"It's great that you didn't eat. Brother Jingcan asked for leave today for something, so he asked me to bring you these foods."

Li Enna instructed her little follower to place all the food on Bai Zhiyan's table. There were a lot of Korean, Chinese and Western food, as well as fruit desserts and milk tea.

Bai Zhiyan's eyes stayed on the cup of blood glutinous rice milk tea. One time, Che Jingcan forced him to go out for a meal. After the meal, the lunch break was not over yet, so they went to a milk tea shop together. Bai Zhiyan ordered this cup at that time.

He had always lived a hard life and rarely drank this kind of thing, but he was instantly captivated by something so sweet. Che Jingcan asked Li Eunna to buy this, apparently because she knew he liked to drink it. He thought he didn't show it so obviously at the time.

While Bai Zhiyan was in a daze, Li Enna secretly sent a message to Che Jingcan to report the situation.

Almost at the same time as the message was sent, Bai Zhiyan's phone rang.

Xu Shiyuan looked at the actions of the people in front of him with a worried look on his face. Che Jingcan, this lingering guy, could easily anger him even if he was not here.

Bai Zhiyan looked away and opened his phone. It was a message from Che Jingcan.

"Clingy, is the food to your liking?"
