However, they can't be sold privately; usually, people in our village share them with their relatives or other family members.
Bai Yajing understood instantly.
"Oh~ then am I considered Meiling's relative?" She emphasized the word "relative," her words carrying a strong implication.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shenglin inexplicably thought of something, and his ears turned bright red. "Fine, fine..."
Bai Yajing saw it; she's not blind. This big, silly guy was practically as red as a shrimp!
He touched his nose. "Well, Meiling and I are like sisters, so we're relatives. I'll ask her to get some later."
Liu Shenglin understood what she meant, and his ears, which had been bright red, instantly returned to their original color.
"Comrade Bai, are you... are you rejecting me?"
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that every time he came to see her, she was always polite and never said or did anything extra.
He should have realized it sooner; she wasn't interested in him.
It was this obvious rejection today that shattered his self-deceiving hope.
When it came to business, Bai Yajing also straightened her attitude. She nodded without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Comrade Liu, you are very good, but I don't like someone like you."
Actually, our personalities aren't compatible. I'm very domineering and bossy, which most people can't stand. You're very cheerful and generous, and you treat everyone gently, but that's not suitable for me.
You will find someone better, someone more suitable for you in the future.
This is her heartfelt thought.
Liu Shenglin is a good person in every way, except that he's too soft-hearted. He's kind to everyone, and he's gentle and considerate to other girls in the same way. That's what she doesn't like.
It's not that he's bad; on the contrary, he's too good. She doesn't like people who are so philanthropic. If she were to marry in the future, she would only marry someone who only cares about himself.
Liu Shenglin explained anxiously, "No, I like you no matter what your personality is like. Whether you're domineering or bossy, I like you."
How will you know I'm not a good fit if you don't try?
Bai Yajing smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Comrade Liu, if a girl approaches you, would you refuse her? Or, if you weren't allowed to be kind to everyone, could you do that? You always make everyone around you feel cared for and warm. What if you weren't allowed to do that?"
A person's love has its limits. If it's divided into too many parts, and you have to compete with other unrelated people for it, what's the point? Isn't it exhausting?
Just as Liu Shenglin was about to say that he would refuse, Bai Yajing continued, "Yes, you will refuse, but what if the other person doesn't have any ulterior motives? Would you still refuse?"
If you don't refuse, your relationships will become a mess in the future, and I don't want to get involved in those kinds of relationships. A person's energy is limited; if you try to take care of everyone, you'll neglect the people who need your care most.
To put it simply, she lacks a clear sense of boundaries, is easily influenced, and is easily manipulated. If she were to actually be with him, she could already imagine how exciting every day of the future would be.
This was a conclusion she drew from her observation of her uncle's interactions with other girls when she happened to deliver something to him last time.
"It's fine for us to get along normally at work, but I can't stand what happens between us in private."
Liu Shenglin slumped his shoulders in dejection.
"I...I can change..."
Bai Yajing helplessly raised her hand to stop him. "Comrade Liu, you are very good, really. It's just that I don't like this, but that doesn't mean others don't. You don't need to change yourself for anyone."
Changing your nature is incredibly difficult. Are you really going to suppress yourself for the rest of your life? Adults make choices, and choosing what's best for you is the right choice. Any relationship that requires you to compromise, give in, or change your nature is wrong.
