Sugar Flower: I Insist on Deceiving Myself

Night fell, and in Room 301 of Dongyang Residence, Tang Hua was curled up in her large blanket, her eyes wide open like copper bells.

Tomorrow was the crucial day she had agreed upon with her boss. Facing such an important event, the 24-year-old felt like a child who had been told by her teacher the day before a spring outing—no matter how much she tried to convince herself to sleep early, she still tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

At this moment, she held her phone in the dark room, her eyes stinging from the blue light of the spiderweb-like screen—

She was searching for information on "how to impress the boss and quickly win him over."

Her search history was filled with strange entries:

【Is stalking a man illegal?】

【How can women suppress their physiological needs in daily life?】

【How to non-violently seduce a man?】

【What is the approximate monthly rent for Tianhe Platinum Apartments in Tianhai City?】

【What styles of clothing do men like?】

【Any recommendations for high-quality plus-size lingerie stores in the country?】……

In the long list of searches, there was nothing related to "art." Almost all of them were "daily curiosities" she was interested in.

Since she had no close friends to consult, the only new female "friend" she had added was a love rival. Although they were nominally partners, she couldn't fully trust her at this stage.

So, to figure out many things, she ultimately had to rely on herself.

Tonight, Tang Hua was researching a particularly critical topic:

【If a woman can't resist violating a man, how long would she go to prison?】

Lawyer Li from the capital provided the answer: "According to relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, in China, men are not considered victims of sexual assault. Therefore, a woman violating a man does not constitute rape."

Tang Hua: "!"

Wow, is that really the case?

Although she didn't understand why it was defined this way, it shocked her and made her decide to delve deeper into the relevant laws.

She believed that even if she didn't intend to do anything immoral, she still needed to thoroughly research the consequences, just in case she couldn't control herself and made a grave mistake.

"The boss smells so good, always exuding a wonderful fragrance. Even if I really couldn't resist, it's not entirely my fault for lacking self-control, right... Honestly, how could anyone resist such temptation?"

"Especially that Su Ling, who's always with the boss. Can she really keep her desires in check? I can't believe it. With such a delicious treat right beside her, what could possibly suppress her urges?"

Tang Hua pondered over this, unable to find an answer.

"Hmm, she must be pretending. Or maybe... it's the so-called sibling filter, which keeps them from getting too close to each other."

"That works in my favor."

She murmured to herself, shaking her head. "Anyway... I should look into the legal details more. At least I need to be mentally prepared."

...

...

A moment later.

"Oh..."

"If the man is under 14 years old, it constitutes child molestation. But since the boss is older than that, at most, it would be classified as sexual harassment, with a maximum sentence of less than 5 years in prison or detention. If the harassment is minor and doesn't constitute a crime, it would result in 5 to 15 days of detention..."

Tang Hua sat up, carefully considering this law.

"So, even if the boss isn't willing and takes me to court, I'd only have to serve less than 5 years. And that's under the worst-case scenario."

"If the boss chooses not to say anything after being harassed, then I'd essentially be acquitted. But that could turn his goodwill toward me into resentment, and it would be hard to rebuild trust with him."

"Unless..."

"I can seize the one opportunity to make the boss unable to resist me with my skills."

...

...

Unconsciously, Tang Hua had begun weighing the pros and cons.

In her mind, a seemingly simple yet complex question emerged—

【Is it worth risking 5 years in prison for the boss's first time?】

Although she knew such behavior was irrational and likely against the boss's wishes, under the influence of Bai Xing's previous provocation, Tang Hua felt that it might already be too late to do nothing.

Especially when it came to something so important. If the boss gave it to someone else, she was certain that every time she thought about it, she would feel miserable.

Tang Hua had a kind of emotional purity. Her philosophy was that rather than silently enduring the torment, it was better to take a bold step and act proactively.

Life was already hard enough. If she couldn't pursue what she wanted, if she had to watch what she desired being taken by someone else, then what was the point of living?

"That's right. If it weren't for the boss, I would have already left this boring world."

"If I'm not even afraid of death, why should I fear the unknown consequences?"

"Maybe..."

"I should take the risk?"

She murmured, casually swiping her phone.

Then, she suddenly noticed a very intriguing topic beneath the post she had been reading—

【If a woman gets pregnant after violating a man, does the man still need to take responsibility?】

The answer was clear:

【Yes.】

Lawyer Wang from Tianhai's Legal Education Department explained: "From a civil law perspective, even if the child is born as a result of sexual harassment, both the man and woman are obligated to provide for the child, and the child has the right to inherit the man's property."

"..."

Although there was a warning below the post: "From a criminal law perspective, it could lead to imprisonment. Ladies, please be cautious when expressing your feelings."

But Tang Hua couldn't see it anymore.

Tang Hua's vision was clouded by desire.

Overwhelmed by her emotions, she thought that if all else failed, she could test the boss's reaction tomorrow and decide whether to put this "ultimate plan" into action.

Of course, Tang Hua also understood that 【all decisions made in the middle of the night could be impulsive and irrational.】

So, clever as she was, she decided to leave it to fate by flipping a coin.

"Heads, I'll do it. Tails, I won't. Let's see what heaven has to say."

In the middle of the night, she stopped trying to sleep and put her phone aside. She kicked off her blanket, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and turned on the ceiling light.

Click!

The sound of the switch echoed, accompanied by the harsh yellow light, making her squint her beautiful eyes and purse her lips in discomfort.

But nothing could stop her now.

In the face of her overwhelming desire, nothing could hinder her once she was fully committed.

Soon.

Tang Hua took a one-yuan coin from her wallet, placed it on her right thumb's nail, and flicked it upward with a snap!

Clink!

The coin shot into the air, tracing a graceful arc before landing on the floor with a clatter, spinning a few times.

Finally, it settled flat.

"?"

Tang Hua bent down to look and saw that it was tails.

"..."

She frowned slightly, picked up the coin again, and muttered:

"Maybe I didn't flick it hard enough."

"Hmm."

"Let's try again."
