Seeing her extend her hand, Luo Yang took a bite.
"Is it good?" Qin Piao asked with a smile.
"Not bad," Luo Yang smiled awkwardly. "Sister Piao, what did you buy?"
"Shampoo." Qin Piao opened her eco-friendly shopping bag and handed Luo Yang a bottle of Piao Rou shampoo to check out.
"The village chief's grocery store has this brand of shampoo," Luo Yang said.
Qin Piao did not continue the conversation, her expression slightly unnatural, and changing the subject, she pointed at a nearby fruit stand and said, "Do you want to eat a pear? I'll buy it for you."
Luo Yang said, "No need. Sister Piao, do you not like to shop at the village chief's grocery store?"
Upon being asked, Qin Piao nodded and said, "In the village, you're the only one who treats me like a normal person; everyone else sees me as a demon. I don't want to be close to them."
Her voice carried a hint of desolation, and Luo Yang suddenly realized he shouldn't have pressed the issue, feeling annoyed with himself.
