Sensitive

I didn’t sleep well last night because I was preoccupied with the thought of going to talk to Dr. Liu. I wasn’t quite sure what to say, but I was genuinely worried about him.

I rejected you because I think you guys didn’t have too much food, and we have a strange culture which is called polite refusal. Sometimes we even find other reasons to reject others. I don’t like it, whereas I have this habit. ...
