If I Were A Dodder Flower

One day, Su Yunluo asked him, “Do you like how I look in traditional clothes?”

Xie Chen nodded calmly. “I like it.”

But in the next second, he flipped her over and pinned her onto the bed.

“However… I like it even more when I help you take each piece off.”

If this had been a few years ago, back in high school, Su Yunluo would never have imagined hearing something like that from Xie Chen’s mouth.

Back then, he was the school’s top student, the one everyone believed would become the city’s highest scorer, admired by all teachers and students alike. They called him “God Xie.”

And Su Yunluo hated that name the most.

Because that title, “God Xie,” came from the moment he completely defeated her in grades during their first year of high school.

That one competition made him rise to legendary status, while she became the joke of the entire school.

So she disliked him, envied him, and held a grudge against him. Even when they ended up sitting in front and behind each other, she refused to say a single word to him.

What made her even more frustrated was how everyone at school said Xie Chen was distant, pure, and untouchable.

Only she knew that wasn’t true.

After all, what kind of “untouchable” top student would suddenly show up when she was hiding away, breaking down, and then casually say to her, as if it was nothing?

“Su Yunluo, you can use my body to hug if you want.”

“If you don’t like it, it’s still fine. You can hug me anyway.”

“I’m ‘pure’ anyway… so just hug me whenever you want.”

But later, when she finally got used to being close to him, he suddenly pulled her into his arms and said,

“I forgot to tell you something. My body is only for the person I like to hug.”

“If you don’t like me now, then you’re not allowed to hug me anymore.”

“And also… I was never actually ‘pure’ to begin with…”
