Bai Xingye recently emerged from a setback.
After coming out of it, he severed all ties with Chen Bainan and others.
No matter how gullible he was, after all those events, he saw through Chen Bainan's character.
Besides, his family had become much stricter in controlling him.
Any friends he made had to be repeatedly confirmed and investigated before being allowed to hang out with him.
For instance, if any friends had some unsavory past, Bai Zhenyang or even Master Bai would step in to make them leave.
Although Bai Xingye felt somewhat resistant, he learned his lesson this time and didn't strongly oppose his dad and grandpa's interference.
He still understood that family would always be family and wouldn't harm him.
As for Bai Bing, his sister, he was even more fearful and cautious, a habit formed since childhood.
Towards Lin Xi, however, he felt an indescribable sense of admiration.
