"Be honest with me, Xing Jie,"
"—do you find that sort of thing... I mean, the stuff between men and women, disgusting and repulsive?"
This time, Lin Xingjie's eyes widened greatly, and it took her a long time to make any sound.

Looking back, the past few months felt almost dreamlike, so her memories of everything before that were a bit hazy.
But Lin Xingjie was very clear that the other person's guess was not wrong.
As she entered puberty and began to vaguely understand such matters, she often saw the sordid aspects of male-female interactions due to her living environment, which led to her disgust.
And ever since her mother found that new boyfriend, this psychological repulsion only intensified.
Each time the girl fell into pessimism about her future life, each time she imagined being with a man, she could only conjure scenarios of immense annoyance and pain; thus, her inner resistance to interacting with the opposite sex grew stronger.
