The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 10

In the morning, Shen Ran and Zhao Kuo went downstairs. They had gone to sleep early the previous night and had not participated in any games. In reality, perhaps because they were brought along by Jian Tao, not many people were willing to pay attention to them.

The only topic they could discuss with the group was complaining about Jian Tao. Since they were his friends, everyone preferred listening to their gossip.

On the stairs, Shen Ran scratched his neck as he walked. “I got bitten by mosquitoes last night. What a terrible place this is.”

“Did you really think Jian Tao could bring us anywhere good?” Zhao Kuo said. “Look at him. No one even bothers with him here.”

“Exactly. Only Su Wen pays him any mind,” Shen Ran said with a pout, then added in confusion, “Why do you think Su Wen serves him like that? Isn’t the Jian family business going to be handed over to him eventually? Does he still need to be afraid of him?”

“Yeah, carrying him around and running errands. I really don’t get it,” Zhao Kuo said. “And he must have seen Young Master Jian’s face before. Doesn’t he find it disgusting?”

The two had reached the dining table in front of the kitchen. Many people were already seated for breakfast, so they fell silent. However, as they rounded the table, Shen Ran froze instantly and muttered under his breath, “Not disgusting at all.”

Zhao Kuo was still confused, but when his gaze followed Shen Ran’s line of sight, his heart suddenly felt a numbing sensation. “Who… is that?”

Jian Tao had just finished a bowl of porridge. He looked up to see Shen Ran and Zhao Kuo standing before him as if they had turned into statues. He immediately handed his bowl to them. “Go get me another bowl of porridge.”

Seeing them motionless, Jian Tao’s elegant eyebrows furrowed. “What are you staring for? Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

The two snapped out of it instantly. Zhao Kuo was quick to grab the bowl. That voice was naturally soft and sweet; he hadn’t noticed it before, but now he found it exceptionally pleasant to hear. “Young Master Jian… your face?”

“It has been healed for a long time. Stop talking nonsense and go get me my porridge,” Jian Tao said. He had already explained it once yesterday. They had missed it, and he did not want to explain it a second time.

“Yes, yes, right away.” With that, Zhao Kuo turned toward the kitchen. It was strange. In the past, if Jian Tao ordered him to do something, he might act normal on the surface, but he was a thousand times unwilling in his heart. Unlike now, he actually felt quite joyful.

Jian Tao could not eat much in the morning. A bowl and a half of rice porridge and a boiled egg were enough to make him full.

Just as he was peeling the egg, Jiang Shi walked down from upstairs in an unhurried manner. The others could not help but look surprised for a moment.

His complexion was very poor, and he had dark circles under his eyes. Jiang Chengli immediately teased him, “What bad things did you do last night? You didn’t sleep well?”

Beside him, Jian Tao bit his lip to hold back a smile. He was the one who did the “bad things” last night; Jiang Shi probably had nightmares all night long.

Not only was the task completed last night, but the task bars for both the protagonist and the male lead had advanced rapidly. It proved that last night had truly been a potent dose of medicine for both of them.

Jiang Shi swept a cold gaze over the two of them and sat down opposite them, saying irritably, “I am not used to sleeping in a new place.”

Jiang Chengli gave an “oh” and then saw that Jian Tao was struggling to peel the egg in his hand. He reached over and took it, peeled it skillfully, and handed it back.

Jian Tao originally thought he was up to something, but after seeing the egg returned to his hand, he understood. He was a playboy young master accustomed to being served, so he ate it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Jiang Chengli watched him eat the egg bite by bite, the corners of his mouth curving upward. It seemed that ever since the last banquet, he really enjoyed watching Jian Tao eat. Those plump, beautiful lips opening and closing were like kissing the food, and his puffed-out cheeks were exceptionally cute.

Jian Tao focused on eating, unaware of the undercurrents at the table.

Jiang Shi saw every movement of the two across from him. Originally, he could not be bothered to care, but now his chest felt tight with frustration. No matter how he looked at Jiang Chengli, he found him irritating.

Jiang Shi stirred the porridge in his bowl forcefully. The spoon hit the porcelain bowl, making sharp clinking sounds. His gaze shifted back to Jian Tao.

Jian Tao was wearing a loose white casual shirt. His skin was snow-white and his neck was slender. The scene from last night suddenly surfaced in Jiang Shi’s mind—the erotic moonlight, the delicate skin, the misty eyes, and the pink, moist lips.

Jiang Shi suddenly threw his spoon into the bowl with a crisp clang, then stood up and walked out. “I’m not eating. I have no appetite.”

“Hey, what’s wrong with him this morning?” Jiang Chengli muttered.

Jian Tao finished the last bite of his egg and stood up to go upstairs. Jiang Shi’s outburst was likely due to his anger. Having been taken advantage of last night and then seeing him again in the morning, it was no wonder he was being petty.

On the way back to his room, he passed Su Wen’s room. Jian Tao glanced at the closed door. Su Wen hadn’t even come down for breakfast. It seemed he had really been provoked.

By now, the protagonist and the male lead must have realized their feelings; otherwise, they wouldn’t be acting so abnormally.

Returning to his room, Jian Tao leaned against the bed to rest, playing with the walkie-talkie. Su Wen’s task progress had reached over 70%. If he pushed a little harder now, perhaps the task would be finished.

With that in mind, Jian Tao pressed the talk button. “Su Wen, come to my room for a moment.”

Sorry, Su Wen, it is all for the task. This way, you can be with the protagonist sooner, Jian Tao thought to himself. This made him feel much better and more motivated to complete the task.

Su Wen did not reply through the walkie-talkie, but after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Su Wen pushed it open and entered.

His complexion was not good, and there was a faint bluish tint under his eyes. “What does the Young Master want with me?”

Jian Tao got out of bed and walked over to him, observing the man in the sharp suit. Even though his complexion was poor, he was still perfectly groomed. He was half a head taller than Jian Tao, who had to look up slightly to meet his eyes. Seeing his own reflection in Su Wen’s dark eyes, Jian Tao gave a triumphant smile. “You saw everything last night, didn’t you?”

“Saw what?” Su Wen’s voice was deep, and his face remained expressionless.

“Me being with Jiang Shi last night,” Jian Tao said with a smile, deliberately provocative.

Su Wen looked at him coldly. “What did you two do?”

Jian Tao’s face turned red. He couldn’t exactly say he tried to kiss Jiang Shi and got pushed away, so he pointed a finger to his own lips. “We kissed.”

Su Wen’s face turned even darker. “Kissed? Did you do it? Did he sleep with you?”

Jian Tao was instantly choked up, the skin on his neck turning pink. He jerked his head away. “What does that have to do with you?”

Su Wen sneered, then saw the red mark on Jian Tao’s neck and reached out a finger to touch it. Jian Tao reflexively took a step back and scratched his neck. “What are you doing?”

Su Wen’s narrow eyes looked at him, the lenses of his glasses casting a cold light, though a trace of a smile curled on his lips. “Nothing. I was just wondering if your body could handle the strain. If you were used for a whole night, would you still be able to get out of bed the next day?”

“What… what are you talking about!” Jian Tao thought he had heard wrong and glared at him with reddened eyes.

Seeing those red eyes, a sense of satisfaction rose in Su Wen’s heart. “I am saying you are so stupid. Does Jiang Shi even care about you? You are the one throwing yourself at him, circling around him like a dog. Why do you love being his lapdog so much?”

Jian Tao was so angry that tears almost fell. His chest heaved. He could not stand to hear any more and raised his hand to slap Su Wen. “Shut up!”

The crisp sound of the slap echoed as Su Wen’s face was turned to the side. He froze for a moment, two strands of his neat hair falling down, and his glasses became crooked. He raised a hand to adjust his glasses, then looked at the person about to cry in front of him and smiled. “Is that all you’ve got?”

Jian Tao choked, his face becoming increasingly pale. “Get out!”

Su Wen looked down at the boy with the pale face. The muscles on his face relaxed slightly, but his voice remained cold. “It would be bad if the Young Master made himself sick with anger. Call me if you need anything else.”

As Su Wen left, Jian Tao slumped onto the bed, drained of strength. The emotional turmoil had used up all his energy.

“Tao Tao, you were amazing! Su Wen’s progress bar jumped again. His task is almost finished!” 250 said happily.

Although Jian Tao was glad, he had been genuinely angry just now and had no energy to celebrate. “I really must have pushed him to his limit.”

“In any case, we only care about finishing the task. Nothing else matters,” 250 said.

“Hmph,” Jian Tao lay on the bed, his pale face not yet recovered. “I will definitely finish Su Wen’s task with extra effort.”

At ten o’clock, the group suggested going out. Jian Tao followed along; since they were in the mountains, he had to see the sights, and it was perfect for walking his bird.

Jian Tao carried the birdcage and went out with the group. When he went downstairs, he saw Su Wen eating in the kitchen.

“Su Wen, come on, let’s go for a walk,” Jiang Chengli called him.

Su Wen remained unmoved. “You guys go ahead. I am eating.”

“Then find us when you’re done. It’s boring staying in the house alone,” Jiang Chengli said.

Su Wen did not respond. His gaze fell on Jian Tao, who was carrying the birdcage. Jian Tao felt his gaze, met his eyes, and immediately let out a cold snort and turned away to show his displeasure.

“Let’s go. Whether he goes or not doesn’t matter,” Jian Tao said, then walked out.

Su Wen withdrew his gaze, the muscles in his cheeks twitching. What a brainless idiot, only knowing how to stay near Jiang Shi, not even knowing when he’s being sold out.

Once he finds out the truth about the marriage, I wonder if he can still continue being Jiang Shi’s lapdog. Thinking of this, a smile curled on Su Wen’s lips. It was quite a pleasant thought.

The morning sun was bright and gentle, the mountains were full of life, and the air was fresh.

Jian Tao liked it very much. Unlike the backyard at home, the plants here were disorganized and grew wild, which made it more interesting.

Everyone was in high spirits. Some picked wild fruit, some took photos, and a few gathered around Jian Tao.

Jiang Chengli put an arm around his shoulder as if they were very close. “Young Master Jian, your bird looks very cute.”

“Of course,” Jian Tao said. It was much cuter than this group of people.

They stopped at a river. The water was crystal clear, and they could see fish swimming inside.

Many people took off their shoes and socks to catch fish in the river. Jian Tao placed the birdcage on the bank and was also eager to go into the water.

“Young Master Jian, the river water is cold,” Jiang Chengli reminded him.

Jian Tao tested it with his hand. It was indeed cool, but he still wanted to play. Burdened by this body, he could hardly do anything every day. Now that he was finally out, he wanted to have fun.

“It’s fine,” Jian Tao said. He was wearing short sleeves and shorts, making it easy to go into the water. He sat on the bank and took off his shoes and socks, revealing snow-white, slender feet. He tapped the water, shivered slightly, and then slowly stepped in.

The clear river water flowed over his ankles, and the shimmering light made his feet look even more translucent and white. Jiang Chengli was dazed. He did not have any special fetishes, but at that moment, he wondered how someone could have such beautiful feet. He had an impulse to hold them in his hands and play with them.

Jian Tao had already entered the river and asked someone for a water bottle, planning to put the small fish he caught inside.

Jiang Chengli also quickly took off his shoes and socks. Just as he was about to go in, a hand pressed down on his shoulder. Jiang Shi sat down beside him. “Since when did you become so caring?”

Jiang Chengli smiled, his peach blossom eyes and the curve of his lips making him look as cunning as a fox. “Haven’t I always been like this? I am very sweet-spoken.”

Jiang Shi sneered. “But your care is all focused on Jian Tao. Didn’t you find him annoying?”

Jiang Chengli shrugged. “I don’t find him annoying anymore. I suddenly feel he is quite cute. Aren’t you annoyed that he’s always following you? I’m just helping you out by sharing the burden.”

With that, Jiang Chengli went into the river and walked to Jian Tao’s side. On the bank, Jiang Shi watched the two of them playing happily together. His hands suddenly clenched, and his chest felt tight.

Jian Tao was having a great time, but there were only two fish in his transparent bottle. Others had caught many, which made his competitive spirit flare up.

He pushed the bottle to Jiang Chengli. “Hold this for me.”

As he spoke, he began to roll up his trouser legs. The legs of his shorts were very loose, and he rolled the extra length up to his thighs, revealing his long, white legs.

Although Jian Tao looked thin, he had a fair amount of flesh on his legs. Though they were slender, his thighs were quite full, especially with the rolled-up fabric pressing against the tops of his legs; they looked very soft.

Those legs were blindingly white. Jian Tao took the bottle back from Jiang Chengli without the latter even noticing. Then Jian Tao crouched down, almost kneeling in the water, searching carefully for small fish.

That posture caused his shorts to tightly wrap around his buttocks. Jiang Chengli, standing behind him, felt his face turn red.

Jian Tao was focused on catching fish. On the bank, the veins on Jiang Shi’s forehead were bulging, and his heart felt heavy. Finally, he could not take it anymore and walked down. By the time he realized it, he was already in the river, not even having time to take off his shoes.

Jian Tao was just straightening up, looking at the small fish he had just caught. Just as he was feeling joyful, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist, causing him to drop the bottle. Then he saw Jiang Shi’s furious face. “Look at how loose you are being! Don’t you say you like me? Who are you trying to seduce now?”

Jian Tao was stunned by the scolding. “You are crazy!”

Jiang Shi ignored him, grabbed his arm, and hoisted him onto his back. He strode onto the bank and did not stop, ignoring Jian Tao’s struggles as he carried him all the way back to the villa.

Jian Tao’s legs rubbed against Jiang Shi’s waistband, and the insides of his thighs were rubbed red. He cried the whole way, feeling both aggrieved and scared. He had no idea why Jiang Shi had suddenly gone mad.

It was only after Jiang Shi threw Jian Tao onto the bed in his room that he completely calmed down. In fact, he had regretted it halfway through. What was he doing?

Seeing Jian Tao sobbing, he felt even more at a loss. “Stay in your room. You are not allowed to go anywhere!”

“Why should I not be allowed to go anywhere!” Jian Tao shouted while rubbing his eyes.

Jiang Shi took a deep breath, stopped looking at him, and left the room. Once outside, he felt frustrated by the series of inexplicable actions caused by his impulse. “Damn it, I must be possessed.”

With everyone gone, Jian Tao lay on the bed crying in anger. His clothes and shorts were wet, so he took them all off on the bed and threw them on the floor.

After a while, there was another knock on the door. Jian Tao pulled the quilt over himself and turned his back, sulking.

The door opened, and Jiang Chengli’s voice rang out. “Tao Tao, I put all the small fish in the fish tank for you. You caught quite a few.”

Only then did Jian Tao look up at Jiang Chengli. He saw him walk to the windowsill and place a fish tank there. The tank was filled with many beautiful stones, and seven or eight small fish were swimming around inside.

“Where is my bird? Did you bring it back?” Jian Tao’s voice was hoarse from crying, sounding incredibly pitiable.

“I brought it back. It’s in my room. I’ll bring it over in a bit.” Jiang Chengli sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Jian Tao’s back, reaching out to ruffle his hair.

“Go get it now,” Jian Tao said. Although it was a command, it sounded pitiful.

Jiang Chengli saw his snow-white shoulder and realized the person under the quilt was not wearing clothes. His lower abdomen tightened. He leaned down to sniff Jian Tao’s hair and rubbed his lips against it.
