Why is my D Flip Flop not waiting for a positive watch front?

As I knew, D flipflop checks its input value on every positive edge of the clock.

Thus, this will lead to a delay of 1 cycle. Correctly?

But why does my D-flip flop not produce a 1-cycle delay?

         module flipflop(
             input clk,
             input rstn,
             input [7:0] i_data,
             output reg [7:0] o_data
         );

             always @(posedge clk) begin
                     if (~rstn) begin
                             o_data <= 0;
                     end
                     else begin
                             o_data <= i_data;
                     end
             end
         endmodule

       module test;
           reg clk;
           reg [7:0] i_data;
           reg rstn;
           wire [7:0] o_data;

           initial begin
                   clk = 0;
                   rstn = 1;
                   i_data = 0;
                   #20;
                   rstn = 0;

                   #30;
                   rstn = 1;
                   #20;
                   i_data = 8'hFA;
                   #20;
                   i_data = 8'hF0;
                   #20
                   i_data = 8'hF1;
                   #20
                   #10 $finish;
           end

           always #10 clk = !clk;

           flipflop flipflop(
                   .clk (clk),
                   .rstn(rstn),
                   .i_data(i_data),
                   .o_data(o_data)
           );

           initial begin
                   $dumpfile("flipflop.vcd");
                   $dumpvars();
           end
       endmodule

My D flip flop functions as a combinational circuit here.

The simulator probably does something like this:

       initial begin
               clk = 0;
               rstn = 1;
               i_data = 0;
               #10;
               clk = !clk;
               #10;
               rstn = 0;
               clk = !clk;

               #10;
               clk = !clk;
               #10;
               clk = !clk;
               #10;
               rstn = 1;
               clk = !clk;
               #10;
               clk = !clk;
               #10
               i_data = 8'hFA; //Input updated
               clk = !clk;     //Clock event
                               //o_data assigned here
               #10;
               clk = !clk;
               #10;
               i_data = 8'hF0;
               clk = !clk;
               #20
               i_data = 8'hF1;
