Lima syndrome

"Bai Zhiyan, can you say that again?"

His face changed suddenly, and Bai Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"I won't say good things a second time. Just forget it if you didn't hear it."

Bai Zhiyan now understands very well what it means to be a wise man and not suffer a loss in front of him. After all, Li Shanyu is still in front of him, and he doesn't want to be humiliated by Bai Jita in front of the child. That would be too embarrassing.

Bai Jitai didn't continue to embarrass him after hearing this. He snorted with an ambiguous meaning, "Humph, you're really quick-witted."

"Sunwoo, let's ignore this weird uncle and go upstairs to my room to play."

"Well! Let's go, uncle."

Li Shanyu hurriedly grabbed his hand and pulled him upstairs, while Bai Zhiyan turned around and sneered at Bai Jitae before leaving.

Bai Jitai found it interesting to see his childish behavior. He thought that he would quarrel with him if he locked him up at home and stared at him all the time, but he didn't expect that not only did he call Li Shanyu to play with him, but he also didn't show disgusted expression when seeing him as before.

Now that he is not so afraid of himself, Bai Jitai doesn't know whether this is good or bad.

However, Bai Zhiyan actually enjoys this kind of life. He doesn't have to find ways to make Che Jingcan happy, nor does he have to be hypocritical with Xu Shiyuan. At least in front of Bai Jita, he can still go crazy without having to maintain his persona all the time.

The most important thing is that Li Shanyu is with him now. When Li Shanyu is around, Bai Jitai will not do anything excessive to him.

If he was the only one he was worried about, it was Ji Seung-hoon and Baek Je-young. No one hated Baek Jung-in more than them. But when they learned that Baek Je-tae wanted to kill him, they had to find a way to stop him. Otherwise, even if they found evidence of his crimes over the years, what was the point if he was dead.

What Bai Zhengren cared about most in his life was the Rijiang Group. He must see the Empire State Building, which he built personally, collapse while he is still alive.

Originally, the relatives on Bai Jitai's mother's side wanted to help Chi Chengxun and others, but later they learned that Bai Jitai had already taken action against Bai Zhengren, so naturally they wanted to help their own family.

Now, in addition to the tricky issue of Bai Zhengren, there is also the matter between Bai Jiying and the Li family. It is obvious that the Li family has already been defeated, but they just keep pestering her.

"Ugh--"

After coaxing Lee Sun-woo to sleep, he got a headache whenever he thought of these things. Ji Seung-hoon and Baek Je-young hadn't contacted him for a few days. He had been playing with Lee Sun-woo these days to distract him from his mother.

It's a pity that such a fragile child has to hide here and there because of things between adults.

As he was thinking, the message alert on his phone rang again. Bai Zhiyan turned off the phone, glanced at Li Shanyu who was sleeping soundly, sat up gently and turned the phone to silent mode.

It turned out to be a message from Che Jingcan. It seems that he has woken up.

Bai Zhiyan's eyes darkened, and he recalled in his mind the day when he fell off the bed and knelt on the ground to try to keep him, despite his bleeding wounds. He wanted to leave without stopping, but in the end he couldn't help but look back at him.

It was the first time in his two lives that he saw Che Jingcan in such a miserable state. Whether it was the blood on his body or his heart-wrenching roar, it was clearly the scene he wanted to see the most. But when that moment really came, Bai Zhiyan did not feel happy.

When I opened his chat box, there was only one message from Che Jingcan.

"Bai Zhiyan, come back."

The dim white light from the screen shone on Bai Zhiyan's face, and he quickly returned to the main page to escape the reality he didn't want to face.

He was extremely confused. He thought that after Che Jingcan woke up, he would chase him relentlessly like before, but it was this dullness that made him even more upset. He couldn't even find a reason to convince himself to hate him more.

resentment?

After Bai Zhiyan put down his phone, he looked at his arm. He felt as if he could not see the scar on his arm clearly. If the scar faded, would the hatred towards him also fade?

How ridiculous it is to be liked by someone you hate. Bai Zhiyan felt his heart being pulled. Why can't bad people stay bad to the end? Why do you treat him well when he wants revenge the most?

He has felt too little love in this world. When his mother was alive, he was greedy for that maternal love. After he died of hatred in his previous life, he was nostalgic for Chi Chengxun's kindness. Only Che Jingcan's destructive yet pure love made him uneasy.

"Buzzing—"

The vibration of his cell phone interrupted his chaotic thoughts. He avoided Che Jingcan's dialog box and saw Xu Shiyuan's profile picture.

He has already sent hundreds of messages to Bai Zhiyan, but Bai Zhiyan has never checked the contents of his messages. He probably just kept asking meaningless questions.

Bai Zhiyan no longer wanted to pretend with him. Since the early morning of that day, he couldn't help feeling sick whenever he thought of Xu Shiyuan pulling him aside and saying those words.

It would be fair for him to disgust him too.

So Bai Zhiyan typed out what he had thought of and clicked send.

"Shi Yuan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to not reply to your message. It's just that my phone was confiscated by Bai Jitai. Now he has locked me up at home and won't let me go out. I stole this phone with great difficulty. I was afraid that you would worry, so I replied to you immediately."

Except for the first and last sentences, Bai Zhiyan told the truth.

It seemed like Xu Shiyuan was waiting for news from Bai Zhiyan all the time. As soon as the message was sent, he received a reply quickly.

"Ji Yan, how are you now? Are you hurt? How could Bai Ji Tai do this! Don't be afraid, I will call the police and get you out."

"Don't call the police. Even if the police come, they will only think it's our family matter. And with Bai Jitai's means, he won't be hurt by such a small matter. In the end, you will be the only one who will be implicated."

He has lived enough, but Bai Zhiyan has not lived enough. He doesn't care about his life and can provoke Bai Jita as he pleases. However, he has been surviving until now for the sake of their plan. If Bai Jita goes crazy and locks him in the basement, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

"But what can you do? He is basically illegally imprisoning me!"

Who said it wasn't true? He had never seen Bai Jitai do anything law-abiding. On the contrary, he had done everything that was prohibited by the Criminal Law.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. When my father comes home after a while, he won't dare to do this to me anymore."

It’s just not certain whether Bai Zhengren will come back alive or in an urn.

The air pressure on Xu Shiyuan's side was even lower than the temperature outside the door. He knew that Bai Jitai was not a good person, but he did not expect that he could actually imprison his own brother. He really underestimated the degree of Bai Jitai's madness.

He kept typing to persuade Bai Zhiyan to call the police, but Bai Zhiyan looked at the messages sent by Xu Shiyuan without any emotion.

If calling the police had worked, Bai Jitai would have ended up in jail and died long ago.

Besides, Xu Shiyuan might not really be worried about himself, right? A possessive paranoid man now met someone who was even more paranoid and crazy than him and took him away and locked him up. He must be more unwilling to accept it.

Maybe it was really like what Bai Jitai said, his mind was full of anger about having his belongings taken away by others.

But after going through so many things, he is no longer the Bai Zhiyan who was manipulated by others. Anyway, he is free, so he might as well tease Xu Shiyuan to make him happy.

"Shi Yuan, actually after I came back from Incheon, I always think of what you said to me that day."

"I regret."

When Xu Shiyuan saw the message he sent, he felt his heart skip a beat, which just made up for the extra beat when he heard his rejection at the Han River.

His fingers were so stiff from the cold that he could hardly hold the phone, and he even made several mistakes when typing.

"Ji Yan, what are you saying? What are you regretting?"

"I regret not answering your question properly that day. You are right. The Han River will not disappear and the meteors will appear again. I really want to go to the Han River with you again and watch the first snow together again."

Bai Zhiyan typed these words without hesitation and clicked send. He had already told lies to Xu Shiyuan thousands of times.

All lies will be forgiven when the first snow falls, Xu Shiyuan, you told me this in person when we were at the Han River, didn’t you?

"boom--"

After receiving the message, Xu Shiyuan could no longer hold the phone and it fell to the ground with a dull sound.

If he hadn't been in a drafty, unheated room, he would have almost thought he was dreaming.

Bai Zhiyan had told him so many lies before, and he hoped very much that he was telling the truth this time, even just once, even if he was truly sincere to him just once.

He picked up the phone. The screen had been shattered into a spider web, but the words on it were still clearly visible. He wanted to ask him with trembling hands but was afraid.

"Really, Jiyeon? Do you really think so?"

Of course it's fake.

Seeing the news that he questioned him, Bai Zhiyan's mouth corners slightly raised. He knew that Xu Shiyuan must be panicking now. But he didn't want to end it so easily. He wanted to torture him slowly, just like he had tortured himself before.

"Shi Yuan, I miss you so much. I want to see you so much. I want to eat the dishes you made. Now I always think of the time when I had dinner with you on the rooftop."

And the scene when you pushed me off the roof with your own hands.

Bai Zhiyan did not answer his question directly, but continued to send him messages. Looking at the prompt that the message was sent successfully, he smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Shiyuan almost dropped his phone again, "I miss you too."

When Bai Zhiyan saw this, he knew that Xu Shiyuan had taken the bait.

Sure enough, Xu Shiyuan immediately sent another message, "Zhiyan, wait for me, I'll come to you now!"

Seeing Xu Shiyuan couldn't wait to find him, Bai Zhiyan sneered and quickly typed out a line of words: "No! There are Bai Jitai's people everywhere outside now, don't take any risks. The results will be announced in a few days, I will ask Bai Jitai to let me go to Yinxing, then we can meet."

"But will Bai Jitai let you go easily?"

So much to talk.

Bai Zhiyan was tired of dealing with him, so he casually replied, "Bai Jitai is here and I can't look at my phone. Don't send me messages. I'll find a chance to contact you."

After sending the message, Bai Zhiyan threw his phone aside and ignored Xu Shiyuan. He knew that Xu Shiyuan must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He was secretly calculating in his mind that next, he had to find a way to get rid of Bai Jitai's control, and at the same time, he had to tease Xu Shiyuan and try his best to help Ji Chengxun and Bai Jiying's actions to completely destroy the Bai family.

On the other side, Xu Shiyuan really didn't dare to continue sending him messages. He pressed his wildly beating heart and looked at Bai Zhiyan's many replies. He knew he was not dreaming.

He didn't understand why Bai Zhiyan suddenly changed his attitude. Could it be that after being hurt by Che Jingcan and then imprisoned by Bai Jitai, he realized that he was the best person for him?

Those two people are simply mentally ill and violent. If Bai Zhiyan likes that type of people, he would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world.

Although Xu Shiyuan couldn't figure out why he showed his vulnerability and dependence on Bai Zhiyan tonight, it didn't affect his longing for Bai Zhiyan which surged into his heart like a tide.

He touched the scars on his face left by Bai Jitai, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that if Bai Zhiyan really cared about him and missed him, why didn't he even ask about his injury.

Bai Zhiyan leaned against the head of the bed, looking out the window with cold eyes. He knew that his plan was going smoothly, but there was no joy in his heart.

Che Jingcan and Xu Shiyuan, the two people who once hurt him, have now become pawns in his hands. As long as he wants, he will have countless ways to make them suffer.

It's time to end.

When Bai Zhiyan woke up the next day, he found that Li Shanyu had woken up long ago and was lying on the other side of the bed reading a book.

After seeing him open his eyes, Li Shanyu immediately came to his side and said, "Uncle, you are finally awake."

Bai Zhiyan was a little groggy after just waking up. He had thought about too many things at night and his brain couldn't process for a while. He looked at Li Shanyu's soft little face and gave a mechanical smile.

"Good morning, Sunwoo."

"Uncle, why did you sleep so long?"

"Has it been a long time?" Bai Zhiyan sat up and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already ten o'clock.

Bai Zhiyan himself did not expect that since he was reborn and returned to the Bai family, he rarely slept until this time.

"I'm sorry, Sunwoo, maybe my uncle was too tired yesterday."

Thinking about how Bai Zhiyan had been playing with him and even helped him make apple pie yesterday, Li Shanyu felt that he was indeed very tired and nodded seriously.

"Yeah! I think so too. No wonder my uncle told me not to wake you up."

"What do you mean don't wake me up?" Bai Zhiyan was confused and thought he was still asleep. "What did Bai Jitai say to you?"

Li Shanyu also sat up straight and answered him seriously, "When I was reading just now, my uncle came to our room and saw that you were still sleeping, so he didn't call you."

He gestured as he spoke, pointing to the door, "When my eldest uncle left, he stood there and told me not to wake up my youngest uncle."

After hearing his words, Bai Zhiyan felt as if he was struck by lightning. Bai Jitai, this pervert, actually had the key to his room!
