[ Did he trust Jin Guangyao? Once upon a time, he had given his friend more than trust. He had made excuses for him, indulged in his secrets and hid his crimes without asking why rumors spread around that the Jin Sect Leader was associated with terrible events. That had ended in tragedy, and after getting his second chance in Aefenglom, Lan Xichen had tried to be more aware and deliberate in his choices. He treated Jin Guangyao with open kindness, but trust was something that they both knew had been broken.

I want him to trust me, but he keeps hiding from me and trying to mislead me. How am I supposed to make him understand that this is not the way to live?

[ Snakes are too stubborn! ]
