Faced with Ruan Wei's increasingly forceful rejections, Fu Yi's throat felt dry. He did his best to control the trembling in his palms, explaining, "No, I'm just delivering a gift, I didn't mean anything by it!"
He wasn't sending a gift out of any desire to become Daoist Companions with Ruan Wei.
Just friends.
Giving gifts among friends was a common thing.
He just felt—this was something Ruan Wei needed, it was something he possessed, and there was no harm in it. He was willing to give.
Yet Ruan Wei was unwilling to take it.
Ruan Wei nodded. "I know you didn't mean it that way."
"And I also know that accepting your gift doesn't mean I'm going to agree to your pursuit."
