Description
Xie Jiaran deals with mild skin hunger syndrome, however, he also has severe mysophobia, to the extent that he even considers whether he has wet wipes on him before shaking hands with others. Thus, whenever his skin hunger happens to break out, he can only resort to sleep to numb himself. Fortunately, the symptoms are relatively mild to be considered painful. However, all of this was mercilessly disrupted after Liang Sunian moved into the dormitory. To his surprise, he actually showed no resistance to this person’s closeness. Even as Liang Sunian stood off the court, lifting the hem of his shirt to drink water after playing basketball, an irresistible urge to be tightly held in his arms surged within him. As the sleep therapy failed, his skin hunger syndrome worsened. ……. One late night, Liang Sunian, who was suffering from insomnia due to the heat, got up shirtless and went to cool off on the balcony. He appeared bewildered as he stared at Xie Jiaran. “What?” Liang Sunian felt he was hallucinating due to the heat getting to his head. How could his typically aloof roommate, even while casting such a glance that seemed like granting a favor, say such words to him? Xie Jiaran fell silent for a moment. He repeated the previous words in his usual cold tone, trying to stay composed yet inevitably conveying a hint of resignation: “Liang Sunian, could you please hold me for a while?”

My Thoughts on Give Me A Hug
"Give Me A Hug" promised a sweet, fluffy romance, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise is certainly unique: our protagonist (MC), Xie Jiaran, suffers from both mysophobia and skin hunger, a truly unfortunate combination. Luckily, Liang Sunian, the male lead (ML), seems to be the only person who can alleviate MC's skin hunger, setting the stage for a heartwarming and often humorous relationship.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the MC's unusual predicament. The initial interactions between Xie Jiaran and Liang Sunian are genuinely endearing, and I appreciated the setup of a "cold" protagonist actually yearning for connection. The college setting felt relatable, and the supporting characters, especially the MC's friend, added a lot of charm.
What Works Well
The core strength of "Give Me A Hug" is its focus on building a healthy and loving relationship. Many readers praised the dynamic between the MC and ML, highlighting the ML's doting nature and the MC's proactive pursuit. I enjoyed that the story didn't rely on excessive angst or external conflict. It was refreshing to see a romance that prioritized communication and mutual support, even if there were a few minor misunderstandings along the way. The humor also landed well for me; the lighthearted tone kept things engaging without feeling saccharine.
Areas of Concern
While I generally enjoyed the novel, I found that the MC's behavior became a bit questionable after he realized his feelings. I felt some of his actions, which involved testing and provoking the ML, seemed out of character and created unnecessary drama. This felt a bit prolonged and detracted from the otherwise smooth narrative flow.
