If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 22

"Tch," Hu Xuan gave out a derisive laugh.

"Cao Yang is your big brother? How daring of you!" He couldn't stop laughing. "Then Cao Yang is my big brother too!"

He continued to laugh. "Stop pretending, I can't believe you're even going so far as to use Cao Yang's name to scare me. I've already checked. No family in this city with the surname Xia recognize you."

When school first started, Hu Xuan had noticed this girl in the new batch of sophomores. She wasn't the prettiest of them all, but he found her unexpectedly attractive.

The old man had taught him well: before he acted, he needed to check the opponent's background. Nan Hua was known as an elite school for the wealthy. There might be hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and he himself was afraid he might step on a mine. So he had asked around specifically before this.

There was only one powerful family with the surname Xia, but none of the daughters of that family were currently in high school. So he already had a rough idea of her status.

Who cares what family she was from, as long as he could confirm she wasn't on his level.
And his level was already the top level in the city – as long as she wasn't from there, there was nothing for him to be afraid of.

And he wanted to lay his hands on her, so he did.

Xia Rou had never expected that despite her pulling out Cao Yang's name that Hu Xuan would actually not believe her!

She was regretful. She never imagined that Hu Xuan was this kind of person. It wasn't that she lacked awareness, she was just careless. Because... she knew Hu Xuan.

When they had met in her previous life while she was in the Cao Family, he was obviously well-mannered and an excellently educated young man, so much so that even Cao Xiong praised him and his brother.

He was also polite toward her during all the years they knew each other, and his courteousness never faltered even once.

She was totally flabbergasted to see that Hu Xuan at this age was such an arrogant pervert!

She suddenly thought back to the words that Cao Yang had said to her before: those people and things, that she couldn't handle them...

That was right. Although she had always aimed toward it, she had never really understood those circles. Under the bright surface, the secrets and the true colors hidden underneath, she'd never really touched them.

And yet, she had still stupidly thought that she could make a name for herself.

So stupid... Translated by The Novelst

"Eh, don't cry," Hu Xuan said, startled by the tears forming in Xia Rou's eyes.

He had both hands around Xia Rou's arms, pressing her against the wall. Their bodies were entwined closely.

His taste in women was inherited from his family. He stared at her snowy white skin, her eyes teary and looking ready to spill over, and his heart began to itch.

His gaze followed the motion of Xia Rou's head turning and saw the breeze blow her short hair up to reveal a slim, dainty neck...

Hu Xuan felt blood rush all over his body.

Since there was no one around, he felt emboldened enough to kiss her.

Xia Rou was shocked and shouted out, her struggles restrained by Hu Xuan. He had one arm over both her hands, while his other hand was wandering to more risky areas, when his collar suddenly tightened around his neck.

A huge force dragged him backwards, the sky and earth spinning around him, and he was thrown to the ground. He landed on his back, but the force kept him spinning and he rolled further away.
