Lima syndrome

Xu Shiyuan sneered and pushed him away. Jin Zaihuan covered his abdomen and bent slightly to relieve the pain. He raised his head and stared at Xu Shiyuan.

"Don't look at me like that. Do you think you can still bully me as you did before?"

Xu Shiyuan approached him, and his tall body standing in front of Jin Zaihuan seemed to be condescending. Jin Zaihuan obviously felt the same way, and he immediately straightened up and put on his usual arrogant look.

"Stop pretending, who do you think you are? You're just a dog that I use to entertain myself in my spare time."

Xu Shiyuan was tired of hearing this. He said with disdain, "Zaihuan, you are the one who should be afraid now. Why are you still so arrogant?"

"What crazy nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nanxian was hospitalized due to school violence and is still in a coma." Xu Shiyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, "What do you think he would feel when he wakes up and finds out that his favorite and most respected brother is actually a bully——"

Jin Zaihuan's body stiffened and he understood what he meant.

"How sad Nanxian must be. He is clearly a victim of school bullying, and his brother used to be a bully. If it were me, I probably wouldn't want to see you again."

"Shut up you bitch!"

Jin Zaihuan's eyes turned red, and he raised his fist and wanted to hit Xu Shiyuan's gloomy face hard, but before his fist fell, his devilish voice sounded again.

"You still want to hit me? Looks like I'll be going with new injuries next time I visit Namhyun."

He raised his hand to press down Jin Zaihuan's fist, and said with a hint of innocence, "I won't lie. When Nanxian asks me how I got hurt, I will have to tell him the truth."

"Are you threatening me?"

"How could that be? Weren't we best friends in junior high school? How could I threaten you?"

Kim Jae-hwan was so angry that his body was shaking. He was indeed afraid that Kim Nam-hyun would know about his past with Seo Shi-won, especially now that he was being bullied and injured. In Kim Nam-hyun's eyes, he had always been a solid, reliable, and loving brother. If Kim Nam-hyun knew that he was no different from the people who bullied him, he would definitely be disappointed in himself.

But I have to admit that Xu Shiyuan was right about one thing. If Kim Nam-hyun knew the truth, with his stubborn personality, he would definitely ignore him.

Absolutely not! Jin Nanxian was his brother whom he had carefully taken care of for ten years. After going through countless hardships, he finally sent him to Silver Star to study. He could not lose this brother, and he could not watch him gradually become alienated from him.

"So what do you want? What do you want to do after you've said so much?"

"You finally came to your senses." He sneered and patted his face insultingly. "You said before that if you want to apologize, you must kneel down, right?"

"What the hell did you say? You want me to kneel down to you?"

"Don't be angry, Jaehwan. Think more about Namhyun. You don't want him to know what you did in the past when he wakes up, right? Oh, what should I do if his condition gets worse?"

Kim Jae-hwan was indeed scared. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and knelt down in front of him.

Xu Shiyuan enjoyed looking at his face that was enduring humiliation. Once upon a time, he had always been the one who endured humiliation. It turned out that it was such a satisfying thing to step on the people who bullied him.

"Speak." Xu Shiyuan held his head and pushed his body lower.

"I'm sorry..." His voice was as thin as a mosquito's feet.

Xu Shiyuan was dissatisfied and slapped him in the face, "Louder."

"I'm sorry! Please don't tell my brother!"

"Well, that's more like it."

Xu Shiyuan chuckled happily, and thoughtfully adjusted Jin Zaihuan's collar, leaning close to him and whispering, "Cha Jingcan goes to St. Ann's Church alone every Saturday."

Jin Zaihuan stared at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open, "You said..."

Xu Shiyuan interrupted him before he could finish, "Believe it or not, we'll see you another day."

After saying that, Xu Shiyuan left slowly. Jin Zaihuan looked at his gradually receding back and stood up silently.

When Bai Zhiyan opened his eyes again, a whole day had passed. He covered his head which felt like it was about to split open and slowly looked around.

In the hospital again.

"woke up?"

A low voice sounded, and Bai Zhiyan looked over and saw Bai Jitai sitting opposite his bed.

"You come to kill me again."

Bai Zhiyan's voice was weak, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, as if he would be relieved if Bai Jitai responded to him in the next second.

"What?" Bai Jitai was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, thinking that he was still not awake, "What do you mean I'm here to kill you again?"

"Forehead--"

Bai Zhiyan covered his head and did not answer. He waited for the dizziness to pass before he remembered that he had confused things from his previous life with the present.

"Even if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress."

Bullshit, Bai Zhiyan complained in his heart, in his previous life, didn’t he cut off his oxygen when he became a vegetable?

"whispering sound."

He snorted softly and slowly pushed himself up to sit up.

Bai Jitai looked at his pale face, stood up, bent over and approached him, and pulled one side of his face, "Little dog, I told you that you have become bolder. Now you dare to make fun of me openly."

"Uh uh uh Nifangkaiwo——"

He pinched very hard, and Bai Zhiyan's facial features were squeezed together in pain, and his hands waved and slapped his chest.

"What on earth do you do in school every day to make yourself look so stupid."

When Bai Jitai let go of his hand, a red mark appeared on his fair cheek. Bai Zhiyan rubbed his red face and glared at him unhappily.

"Leave me alone. This isn't a fight anyway."

Bai Jitai raised his eyebrows, "I don't want to care about you either, but Bai Zhengren has no time to care about you, so he asked me to be in charge of your affairs, so I am your guardian now. Even if you are not satisfied, just bear with it."

What he said was true, because after the last fight with Gao Enshuo and Park Jun, the counselor called Bai Zhengren, and Bai Zhengren clearly told Bai Zhiyan not to look for him if he got into trouble, and let him settle it himself with money. This time he still used his usual tough style.

"Whatever you say."

Bai Zhiyan lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed and put on his shoes.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go see my classmates."

Jin Nanxian was beaten like that and bled so much. He was injured because of him. Bai Zhiyan felt bad and hoped that he was not seriously injured.

"You mean the boy who was sent here with you?"

Bai Zhiyan paused while putting on his shoes, looked up and asked him, "Did you see him? How is he?"

"You mean him..."

As Bai Jitai said this, he recalled the scene when the two men were thrown into the ward. After Xu and Che threw the boy to the doctor, they kept surrounding Bai Zhiyan's bed. When he arrived at the hospital, the two were sitting on both sides of the bed, one on the left and one on the right.

Xu Shiyuan's cold voice broke the whitewashed calm in the ward, "Che Jingcan, do you know who you hit? That was Zhiyan's new friend. Zhiyan was so angry at you that he fell unconscious. He will never forgive you when he wakes up."

Che Jingcan was stung by his unforgiveness and stood up and glared at him, "Xu Shiyuan, do you still want to be beaten? Do you think I won't dare to hit you because this is a hospital?"

But his threats couldn't scare Xu Shiyuan.

Xu Shiyuan calmly leaned back on the chair and looked at him with contempt, "Hit me, you'd better hit me harder, otherwise Zhiyan will be even angrier when he sees my injuries when he wakes up."

Xu Shiyuan used this trick many times and it never failed.

"You!" Che Jingcan was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of what he said. He snorted and sat back in his chair. "You are a dark-skinned kid like a stink bug. Does Bai Zhiyan know your hypocritical face of saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?"

"Do you think he would believe you if you told him this now? Cha Kyung-chan, I'm afraid you're the person Zhiyan hates the most right now? Do you think you still have a chance to say these divisive words to him?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether he will believe it or not!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Bai Jitai pinched his nose and pushed the door open.

"If you two want to quarrel here and disturb my brother's rest, please go back."

Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan stood up at the same time when they saw him come in.

"No, I have to wait until he wakes up." Che Jingcan refused and pointed at Xu Shiyuan, "Let him go if he wants to."

Xu Shiyuan snorted coldly, "The last person Zhiyan wants to see when he wakes up should be you."

Every word he said hit Che Jingcan's sore spot accurately. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he was interrupted by Bai Jitai, "You two——"

Bai Jita was older than everyone in the room, and he exuded the aura of a superior just by standing there. He just lowered his voice slightly and uttered two words, and the two people subconsciously fell silent.

"If you two still want to argue, I don't mind using other means to get rid of you."

His voice was extremely low, and it carried a sense of oppression that made him intimidating without even being angry. The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became as cold as ice.

Che Jingcan clenched his fists but still didn't want to leave. "Director Bai, I don't want to quarrel. I just want to see Bai Zhiyan wake up. I'm really worried about him."

"Master Che, is this our second meeting?"

"Yes."

They first met when Park Joon came to school to cause trouble.

"Actually, I've been wanting to ask you since last time, what is your relationship with our Zhiyan."

"I--" Although Che Jingcan really wanted to say that they were in a romantic relationship, Bai Zhiyan had never agreed to him, so he could never say these two words.

"Friendship."

Bai Jitai raised his eyebrows but did not respond. He then turned to look at Xu Shiyuan, "Xu, I remember I said something to you when we last met. I heard that Xu was always the top student in the grade. How come you have such a bad memory?"

Xu Shiyuan's face froze. He knew that Bai Jitai was reminding him not to meddle in other people's business.

This was his third meeting with Bai Jitai. He knew how vicious and cruel this man was. Even though he was dressed like a decent human being, he could not hide the brutality in his bones.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhiyan, my memory is really bad, but this time Zhiyan's matter is related to me, and as his friend, I definitely can't sit idly by."

Several people were fighting openly and secretly and refused to give in to each other. The ward, which should have been quiet, was now undercurrent. Bai Zhiyan, the person at the center of the storm, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and knew nothing about it.

“Although I don’t know why Zhiyan is unconscious, I don’t want to listen to outsiders explaining the reason to me when my brother is unconscious.”

The "outsider" Bai Jitai mentioned was deliberately reminding the two of them that they were not needed here.

Xu Shiyuan clenched his fists so hard that his fingertips turned blue and white. Even if Bai Zhiyan had mentioned to him before that he didn't like Bai Jita, so what? They had the same blood and lived under the same roof. At times like now, he was also qualified to stay and accompany him as his guardian.

But he did not have any special identity, and was not even qualified to sign the medical book when Bai Zhiyan was unconscious.

"But Director Bai——"

Che Jingcan was unwilling to give up and still wanted to fight for it, but Bai Jitai just glanced at him and said, "Master Che, don't be so willful. The people sent by Chairman Che are still waiting for you downstairs."

It was obvious that he was trying to chase them away, and at this point, Che Jingcan's proud personality wouldn't allow him to make the situation even uglier.

"I understand. I'll go."

He turned around and looked at Bai Zhiyan reluctantly. He didn't dare to make any intimate moves with others. In the end, he just took Bai Zhiyan's hand and rubbed it on his face, and said to him in an almost inaudible voice: "Wake up quickly, I'll wait for you to say you forgive me in person."

Even so, Bai Jitai's face froze for a moment after seeing his actions.

After Che Jingcan left, he and Xu Shiyuan were the only ones left in the room.

Bai Jitai's polite mask instantly fell apart. "Student Xu, you and Che Jingcan are of different identities. I don't need to be so polite to you. Besides, I clearly warned you last time to stay away from our Bai family. It seems that you are really not afraid of death."

Xu Shiyuan remained unmoved. He had heard such insulting words more often than he had eaten, and had long been immune to them.

"Brother Zhiyan, I think you also know that the only reason you can be here with him now is because of your legal brotherhood. I believe that if Zhiyan is awake, he will definitely not want to see you."

"Yes, but so what? You don't even have the qualifications to stay." Bai Jitai slowly rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the chair beside Bai Zhiyan's bed.

"Get lost while I'm still talking to you nicely. I won't be as lenient with you as I was with Cha Kyung-chan."

Xu Shiyuan's palms were all covered with his nail marks. He suppressed his resentment. He knew that confronting him would be like an ant trying to shake a tree. He could only leave.

Bai Jitai's low voice rang out when he walked to the door of the ward.

"If you want to rely on my brother to make profits in our Bai family through him, I advise you to give up this idea immediately."

Xu Shiyuan's face turned pale and he suddenly turned to look at him.

"After all, class is transmitted by blood."
