If I Were a Woodpecker, Would You Love Me?

Xu Jiashu x Ji Que

Aloof and restrained top x a cruel bottom who's sweet on the outside but dark within

Xu Jiashu loved Ji Que. Even though his love was like a woodpecker, pecking him until he was covered in blood, he never regretted it, come rain or shine.

He wanted to be the most special tree in Ji Que's eyes.

Inspired by a picture of a woodpecker pecking a tree and related searches (Are woodpeckers beneficial insects? / A remnant tree riddled with holes by woodpeckers)

A short, bittersweet story. Sweet from the bottom's perspective, sweet and painful from the top's.

This story doesn't care about the top's well-being. If you're wary of top-focused stories, be careful!

Theme: Love can overcome every obstacle.
