Lima syndrome

"If you can be soft-hearted to me today, there will be a next time. But I won't. As long as there is a day when you can no longer bear to attack me, you will be fiercely counterattacked."

Bai Jitai looked at him with that innocent and harmless face but kept saying poisonous words, and he wished he could tear his mask to pieces.

"You are really getting more and more daring. With your own strength, what capital do you have to fight against me?"

The strength in his hands increased, and Bai Zhiyan's face twisted for a moment because of the pain, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Why are you angry?" Bai Zhiyan tried to pry his hands away. "I answered the questions you asked me today very well, aren't you satisfied?"

Seeing his face turn pale from the pain, Bai Jitai loosened his grip slightly and snorted, "You kept silent when I asked you, but now that I let you go, you confessed on your own initiative. Bai Zhiyan, are you deliberately teasing me?"

Bai Zhiyan looked coldly into Bai Jitai's eyes, "I told you before that things obtained by suppressing, forcing, hurting and destroying will eventually be burned and backfired."

"Little dog, are you telling me about karma?" His voice was dull, even lower than when he was in the basement just now.

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe in these things. I still say the same thing. Let's see whether I will be retaliated by the sins I committed, or you will be torn apart by me first."

"Then you're doomed to fail." Bai Zhiyan turned his head away.

Bai Jitai gritted his teeth and used his other hand to press the back of Bai Zhiyan's neck, forcing him to raise his head and look at him, "You really will never learn your lesson."

"Uh-huh-"

Bai Zhiyan's neck drew a graceful arc, his shoulders trembled slightly, and even his shoulder blades bulged, like a pair of flapping butterfly wings.

"You hurt me."

His voice was soft and fine, going straight into Bai Jitai's brain. He had never seen Bai Zhiyan show weakness or surrender, but at this moment he softened his voice and begged for mercy, even with a blush in the corners of his eyes.

"Brother Jitae..."

Bai Jitai was so frightened by his words that his brain went numb. He subconsciously let go of his hand, pushed him away, stood up and distanced himself from him.

Bai Zhiyan was thrown to the other side by him, but he did not get angry but laughed instead. When he raised his head again, the messy hair on his forehead blocked his eyes, but Bai Jitai could still see the coldness and cold light bursting out of his eyes.

"Bai Jitai, look, I told you, if there is one, there will be two."

His gentle voice was like thunder from a clear sky. Bai Jitai's face turned ugly. He realized that he had just been tricked by Bai Zhiyan.

He glared at Bai Zhiyan fiercely, filled with anger.

However, Bai Zhiyan just sat there quietly with a faint smile on his face.

"You...Bai Zhiyan, be careful not to play with fire!"

Bai Zhiyan slowly stood up, walked in front of Bai Jitai, and looked him straight in the eyes, "Really? Then let's see who will be burned by this fire."

Bai Jitai almost didn't remember how he left his room. He rarely lost his composure like this, but he repeatedly broke it in front of Bai Zhiyan. He thought he might really be crazy.

After watching him leave, Bai Zhiyan finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell back onto the bed, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Although he remained calm and composed when facing Bai Jitai just now, he was the only one who knew that these were all illusions.

Bai Jitai is different from Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan. The aggressiveness and arrogant sense of oppression he carries are unmatched by others.

The most terrifying thing is his madness. If the words he just said really anger Bai Jitai, he will probably have to live in the basement for the rest of his life.

He was also gambling. He bet that Bai Jitai would be confused by his show of weakness. Fortunately, his bet was right.

"Ring ring ring——"

As soon as one problem is solved, another one arises. Bai Zhiyan frowned as he looked at the exclusive note about Jingcan on his phone.

The confrontation with Bai Jitai had just ended, and he didn't have the energy or mood to say those hypocritical words to please Che Jingcan. So he hung up the phone without hesitation and set it to silent mode.

Che Jingcan felt anxious when he saw the rejection on the phone. Could it be that Bai Zhiyan will not come back tonight?

This liar, he clearly said he would go there and come back on the same day!

"Why don't you answer the phone, you clingy guy? Why haven't you come back yet so late?"

"You're not coming back today?"

"You lied to me, you big liar!"

"Reply my message with your dead face!"

Bai Zhiyan came back from showering and saw his phone screen flashing. The ringing made his eyelids jump.

This Che Jingcan is too clingy!

"I have something urgent to do and can't go back. See you tomorrow night."

Che Jingcan was about to smile when he saw his message alert, but his face instantly turned gloomy after seeing the content.

"What do you want? You promised me, but you don't keep your word!"

Of course, Bai Zhiyan was fine. He just finally returned to the Bai family and got a break. He didn't want to go back and be tortured by Che Jingcan again.

Anyway, Che Jingcan is easy to fool. Just lie to him and say a few sweet words to him and he will stop making trouble.

"My brother wants to talk to me about something. We need to talk for a long time. It's not safe to go back too late, right?"

Che Jingcan looked at the time. It was indeed unsafe to come back so late, but he was still angry. It was a great weekend, but he couldn't be with him all day.

"I don't think you have a very good relationship with Director Bai. What could he want from you?"

He still remembered the last time he met Bai Jitai at the Bai family. Bai Jitai's face was very ugly when he saw him, as if his beloved sister was abducted by a young man from society, and he wished he could eat him alive.

"Actually, it was because he knew that I was in the hospital with you. He usually has a strong desire to control me. After knowing this, he got very angry and ordered me not to come to you again."

Bai Zhiyan didn't want to be picked on by Che Jingcan because of this matter, so he might as well transfer his anger to Bai Jita.

Sure enough, Che Jingcan was furious after seeing the news.

"You are already an adult. Why should he control what you do? Even your brother can't control you like this, right?"

Che Jingcan's heart skipped a beat when he recalled the pinch marks on Bai Zhiyan's neck that he had seen at school before.

"Zhiyan, did he hit you? Did he lay hands on you? Don't be afraid, tell me everything. If he dares to do anything to you, I will never let him go!"

So what if he is his brother-in-law? If he really wants to stop Bai Zhiyan from associating with him, he will not give up even if he has to go to the Bai family.

Bai Zhiyan thought about it and felt that he didn't seem to be injured today. Instead, Bai Jitai must have been very angry with him.

"I'm fine. He didn't do anything to me. He just asked me to go home and not see you again, otherwise he wouldn't let me go to school. I begged him for a long time before he agreed to let me continue to see you tomorrow."

Che Jingcan felt distressed and happy to hear him say this. He didn't expect that he would quarrel with his family just to see him. He just wanted to run to him regardless of everything and hug him in his arms to comfort him.

"I will wait for you quietly in the hospital. If you are bullied or wronged, you must tell me."

Bai Zhiyan sneered when he saw his reply. He had a hole in his stomach but he was still not honest. If he really confronted Bai Jita, it would not be as simple as just being stabbed in the stomach.

"I will. You also have to wait for me in the hospital and listen to the doctor and don't move around."

After coaxing this ancestor, Bai Zhiyan could finally rest. While lying on the bed, he was still thinking about how to deal with this annoying guy tomorrow.

The next day when he got up early to go to school, Bai Jita seemed to be waiting for him in the hall on purpose, but Bai Zhiyan walked past him without even looking at him.

Bai Jitai exerted a little force on the hand holding the cigarette, and he didn't even notice the ashes falling on his hand.

Originally, Bai Zhiyan wanted to devote all his energy to studying during the recent exam week, but he kept thinking about Ji Chengxun's cough during their last phone call.

He thought of the scarf his mother knitted for him, and he also wanted to knit a scarf for him, so Bai Zhiyan found the experienced Liu Zhimin for help during the break.

Liu Zhimin was very kind-hearted and patiently taught him how to start knitting. "Brother Zhiyan, you made a mistake here. You should go back and hook it."

"Is that right?"

"Yes, just keep repeating this action."

The two of them put their round heads together and looked at the wool in their hands very seriously. When Xu Shiyuan returned to the classroom, he saw them talking and laughing while doing something, even sticking close to each other.

"Ji Yan Liu Zhi Min, what are you doing?"

His gloomy voice sounded from behind the two of them. Bai Zhiyan was a little displeased that his movements were interrupted. He turned around and was about to say something when he saw Liu Zhimin stood up first.

"Brother Zhiyan, I have something else to do so I will leave first."

“Hey Jimin—”

"If you haven't learned how to call me, call me again."

Because Liu Zhimin has never forgotten how Xu Shiyuan yelled at her when Bai Zhiyan was injured, she wants to avoid him immediately when she sees the sinister Xu Shiyuan.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Shiyuan picked up a piece of tangled wool, his eyes showing an ambiguous expression.

“Knitting a scarf.”

Bai Zhiyan sorted out the tangled wool without looking at him, "Because I don't know how to knit, I asked Zhimin to help teach me."

"Who are you going to give it to after you finish weaving it?"

Bai Zhiyan paused and said nothing.

Seeing that he kept silent, Xu Shiyuan seemed to understand something. He could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. He grabbed the scarf that he had already knitted and stood in front of Bai Zhiyan to interrogate him.

“Is it for Cha Kyung-chan?”

When Bai Zhiyan heard him mention Che Jingcan's name, he felt relieved. He softened his expression and took the scarf from him.

"Why do you ask?"

Xu Shiyuan held on tightly and refused to let go, "You go to the hospital to accompany him every day now, who else can I give it to if not him?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Bai Zhiyan didn't force him, but asked him, "Shiyuan, do you like this color?"

"what?"

He picked up the beige ball of yarn next to him and put it close to Xu Shiyuan's face, as if for comparison.

“This color suits you very well.”

Xu Shiyuan's breathing stopped for a moment. He grabbed Bai Zhiyan's hand and stared into his eyes.

"What do you mean? You knit this..."

He paused, not daring to continue.

"What do you say?"

Bai Zhiyan smiled, withdrew his hand and took back the scarf and the ball of yarn and put them together.

Before Xu Shiyuan could say anything else, Li Enna suddenly popped up and asked, "Brother Zhiyan and Brother Shiyuan, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that it was Li Enna, the joy on Xu Shiyuan's face disappeared immediately. When he turned around, his face was full of disgust, "What are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen Brother Zhiyan and you for a long time. Can't I come over to see you?"

Li Enna did not forget that she liked Xu Shiyuan's character. She suppressed her annoyance towards him and put on a smiling face.

Bai Zhiyan knew the complicated relationship between the two people and didn't want them to quarrel in front of him, so he took the initiative to speak and said, "We didn't do anything, we were just chatting."

"What are you talking about? Can you take me with you?"

Li Enna pretended not to see the disgust and hatred on Xu Shiyuan's face and deliberately moved closer to him.

"Zhiyan, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Xu Shiyuan was disgusted by her, but he got a satisfactory answer from Bai Zhiyan anyway. He glanced at Li Enna and left.

Bai Zhiyan was speechless. When Liu Zhimin was there, he ran away when he saw Xu Shiyuan coming. When Xu Shiyuan was there, he also ran away when he saw Li Enna coming. I guess only the shameless Li Enna would not run away no matter who came.

"Ena, are you okay?"

"No--" Li Enna withdrew her fierce gaze from Xu Shiyuan and gave Bai Zhiyan a warm smile.

"I just saw you knitting a scarf, Zhiyan. I'm actually very interested in knitting scarves, and I want to learn from you."

Ask him to teach her how to knit? Only she could come up with such a lame excuse.

"But I'm also a novice, and you're a girl. Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Zhimin to teach you? Or, why don't you ask Xu Shiyuan? Isn't this a good time to improve your relationship?"

Li Enna was blocked by his words and felt suffocated. Why did she always run into obstacles with Bai Zhiyan!

"Haha, no need, I'm just saying."

She laughed as she picked up the ball of beige wool and said, "This color is so pretty. Are you going to wear it yourself? Or are you going to give it to someone?"

Bai Zhiyan looked up at her, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her heart.

Li Enna felt frightened by her stare and was scared. Could it be that he saw through something?

"Of course I don't wear it myself. You see, this color doesn't really suit me."

"Uh...how could that be? Brother Zhiyan, you look good in any color."

Li Enna still remembered her mission and went all out, "Brother Zhiyan, you are not weaving this for Brother Jingcan, are you?"

Sure enough, the moment Bai Zhiyan saw Li Enna, he knew why she came. As he expected, it was Che Jingcan's work again.

"Of course. Che Jingcan is injured and in the hospital, which is already boring. I have to give him some surprises, right?"

Li Eunna's eyes lit up when she heard him say that it was woven for Che Jingcan.

"Enna, this is a surprise I gave him. You won't tell him secretly, right?"

Li Enna quickly nodded and agreed, "Of course, I will definitely keep it a secret for you, Brother Zhiyan."

So within ten minutes, Che Jingcan knew about this.
