The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 32

Jiang Mu immediately pulled the quilt over Jian Tao and dressed himself before stepping toward the balcony. A dark figure was standing there. Just as Jiang Mu was about to pull back the curtain, the person on the balcony stepped out on his own. It was Jiang Shi, his eyes bloodshot. He noticed the lingering flush on Jiang Mu’s face, which confirmed his earlier suspicions.

Jiang Shi stared blankly at the bed. Jian Tao was clutching the quilt, his pale, rounded shoulders exposed. He appeared to have been crying as there were still tear stains at the corners of his eyes, and his face was a deep crimson. He watched Jiang Shi and Jiang Mu with a timid, fearful expression.

Jiang Shi felt his throat go painfully dry, and his voice was incredibly raspy when he finally spoke. “Jian Tao,” he croaked.

At that moment, the voice of System 250 rang out in Jian Tao’s mind. “Tao Tao! Jiang Shi’s hatred value has reached its maximum. The task is complete!”

As soon as those words were spoken, 250 reverted to its usual mechanical broadcast tone. “Plot completion has reached ninety percent. Survival duration of fifteen days has been unlocked. The countdown for the ultimate task will begin on the seventh day.”

Jian Tao, who had been immersed in the embarrassment of being caught in an intimate moment, was immediately energized by the news. “Does this mean I can leave this world in fifteen days?”

“Yes!” 250 replied with equal excitement.

Jian Tao was lost in his joy until Jiang Shi’s hoarse voice brought him back to reality. “Jian Tao, was this voluntary?”

Jian Tao’s face turned even redder. He did not know how to respond. He certainly had not been willing at first, but things had happened in such a muddled way. Furthermore, the heat on his skin felt like it was burning. In truth, it had only been a superficial encounter because Jiang Mu had helped him first.

Jiang Mu’s Adam’s apple bobbed with difficulty. His eyes felt sore, and he forced himself to turn his head away as tears immediately fell. He directed a look of pure resentment toward Jiang Mu. “Brother, do you have nothing to explain to me?”

Jiang Mu looked at him without any expression. “No,” he replied.

With that, Jiang Mu forcibly dragged Jiang Shi out of the room. The two brothers stood face to face in a tense confrontation. Jiang Shi glared at the man before him with eyes full of hatred. This was the brother he had relied on for over a decade, the one who had once indulged him in everything, yet now he had stolen the person Jiang Shi loved most.

Jiang Mu seemed entirely oblivious to Jiang Shi’s resentment. He spoke in a cold, hard tone. “From now on, you are not allowed to enter this villa without my permission.”

Jiang Shi’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was stunned that such words could come from Jiang Mu’s mouth. “On what grounds! This is the house our parents left behind. What right do you have to bar me from entering!”

“On the grounds that without me, you would have nothing. This house would not even exist,” Jiang Mu said. His face remained cold and heartless as if the person standing before him were a complete stranger.

Jiang Shi was utterly speechless. He knew that after their parents passed away, their relatives had been watching them like predators, and various forces had tried to take a piece of the estate. All of it had been reclaimed by Jiang Mu once he reached adulthood. Otherwise, they would truly have no connection to their current assets.

He knew his brother had been brilliant since childhood with an intelligence far beyond ordinary people. He also knew he could never match his brother’s abilities, but those differences had never mattered because his brother had always been good to him.

However, this was the first time he had heard such heartless words from his brother. “Are you even my brother anymore?” Jiang Shi asked blankly. “My brother was not like this.”

Jiang Mu’s thin lips parted slightly. “I have always been like this.”

Inside the room, Jian Tao strained his ears to listen, but he could not make out what the brothers were saying. He wondered why Jiang Shi had suddenly burst in. Seeing how pained and angry Jiang Shi had looked, it was as if he wanted to tear Jian Tao apart. Did he think Jian Tao had defiled his brother? Recalling the things Jiang Shi had said at the bar, Jian Tao felt that was highly likely.

As Jian Tao was lost in thought, Jiang Mu pushed the door open and entered. Jian Tao glanced behind him and asked, “Has he left?”

Jiang Mu sat on the bed with a blank expression. “Are you still so concerned about him?”

Jian Tao noticed the jealous edge in his tone. He gave a small huff, turned away, and ignored him from under the covers. He knew Jiang Mu would eventually press closer. True to his expectations, within a minute, Jiang Mu’s hand reached around from behind. His lips began to kiss Jian Tao’s earlobe, his cheek, and finally his mouth.

Jian Tao gave an unwilling moan. “Stop it. My skin is already chafed.”

At times like this, Jiang Mu was quite disobedient, which provoked Jian Tao into kicking at him.

Since learning he had only half a month left in this world, Jian Tao felt remarkably relaxed. While waiting for the final task, he remained very well-behaved, especially in front of Jiang Mu. This was necessary because the system required him to spend two hours with Lu Jingze every day during the countdown.

He had originally thought that having a kept lover meant he would not actually have to do much, but the system had forced him into these private sessions. Consequently, he felt extremely guilty every time he returned from Lu Jingze’s place to face Jiang Mu.

One day, while Jiang Mu was at work, Jian Tao went to see Lu Jingze again. The apartment he had bought for Lu Jingze was very close to the villa. He had chosen it for convenience, and now it was even more so. He could reach it with just a short walk.

Jian Tao arrived at the apartment and was about to press the code on the lock when the door opened from the inside. Lu Jingze greeted him with a warm hug. “Brother Tao, you are here.”

Faced with such intimacy, Jian Tao, acting as the benefactor, had no reason to refuse. He patted Lu Jingze’s back and then prompted him to let go. Jian Tao walked inside, took off his shoes, and naturally curled up on the sofa. He took out his phone and opened a game. “I am almost at the next level in the game we played yesterday,” he said.

“Oh,” Lu Jingze replied, his voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. He quickly forced a smile and added, “Brother Tao, let me team up with you.”

Jian Tao only came here to play games, eat, and rest. He had no romantic feelings for Lu Jingze, but he tried his best to act like a proper sugar daddy. Half an hour later, Lu Jingze let out a joyful cheer. “Brother Tao, you are amazing!”

Jian Tao looked at his stats on the phone. He was the weakest link in the team, but fortunately, Lu Jingze had carried him to victory every time. While Jian Tao was wondering how to improve his skills, Lu Jingze kissed him. The kiss carried the freshness and clinginess of a youth, and his tongue sought out Jian Tao’s.

Jian Tao’s face turned bright red from the kiss. He pushed the other man away after a while. Lu Jingze’s clear eyes were now clouded with desire, and his face was flushed. He shyly buried his head in Jian Tao’s neck and rubbed against him affectionately. “Brother Tao, you spend so much money on me. Is it not a waste if you do not actually use me?”

Jian Tao felt an itchy sensation on his neck and shivered from the warmth of the other man’s breath. He cleared his throat and said, “I am hungry. Go and cook something.”

Lu Jingze’s body stiffened. He looked at Jian Tao expectantly, but Jian Tao avoided his gaze entirely. Finally, Lu Jingze let out a helpless sigh and smiled. “Fine, I will go cook. I will make all of Brother Tao’s favorites.”

“Alright,” Jian Tao responded. He avoided Lu Jingze’s disappointed eyes and wondered if the boy truly wanted to finalize their relationship just to ask for more money. At that thought, he took out his phone and transferred fifty thousand yuan to Lu Jingze.

He immediately used his phone camera to check his lips. Last time he went home after kissing Lu Jingze, Jiang Mu had actually tasted it. He had claimed that Jian Tao’s mouth tasted like someone else. It had nearly scared Jian Tao to death. He had thought his secret was out and his countdown would be cut short. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and claimed he had accidentally drunk from someone else’s water bottle.

If his lips were swollen, he would not know what kind of excuse to invent. Luckily, Lu Jingze had not been too forceful this time, so Jian Tao felt a bit relieved.

Lu Jingze was an excellent cook. Perhaps because he had been independent from a young age, he cooked delicious meals very quickly. In less than an hour, a four-course meal and a soup were ready. Jian Tao was very quiet during the meal. He focused on his food unless spoken to. Lu Jingze, sitting opposite him, enjoyed watching him eat because Jian Tao seemed particularly well-behaved at such times.

When Jian Tao was nearly finished, he felt movement under the table. Lu Jingze was using his foot to rub against Jian Tao’s leg. It started at the ankle but soon grew bolder, moving up to his calf. The fabric of the sock was a bit rough and felt itchy against his skin. Jian Tao glared at him, but Lu Jingze looked back with a face of pure innocence and deliberately smiled at him.

This blatant flirtation made Jian Tao very uncomfortable. He glanced at the time and realized he had accidentally stayed too long. Jiang Mu would be coming home soon. Jian Tao grew anxious. He stood up and said casually, “I am going to take a shower.”

Lu Jingze’s eyes lit up immediately. “Okay,” he said.

Every time Jian Tao left this place, he would shower the moment he got home because he was afraid Jiang Mu would smell something on him. This time, he did not have enough time, so he had to wash here. He kept some new, unwrapped clothes at the apartment, so he changed into them after his shower.

When Jian Tao emerged from the bathroom in his new clothes, Lu Jingze immediately embraced him and kissed him urgently. Jian Tao pushed him away repeatedly and eventually bit his tongue. “What are you doing!” Jian Tao snapped.

Lu Jingze looked hurt by the rejection. “Brother Tao, did you not take a shower because you wanted to do it with me?”

Lu Jingze’s face turned red as he spoke. Jian Tao felt incredibly awkward. “Actually, it is because there is a dog at home. His nose is far too sensitive.”

“What?” Lu Jingze asked, completely confused.

Jian Tao checked the time again and immediately went to the door to put on his shoes. “I have something to do. I must go now.” He did not have the heart to look back at the deep disappointment on Lu Jingze’s face. The boy looked as though he were about to cry, and his eyes were red.

On the way back, Jian Tao bought a pack of chewing gum and chewed it vigorously. He sniffed his clothes and felt satisfied that there was no problem. When he arrived home, Jiang Mu had indeed returned. He was holding his phone, about to call Jian Tao. His furrowed brow smoothed out the moment he saw him. Jiang Mu stood up, stepped forward, and embraced him, burying his nose in Jian Tao’s neck for a long moment.

Then, Jiang Mu sniffed near Jian Tao’s face and neck before pulling his arm up to smell his fingertips. He tilted Jian Tao’s chin up and made him open his mouth. He sniffed, then let his tongue sweep inside for a thorough inspection before finally kissing Jian Tao’s lips. Only after he was satisfied did he let go and ask softly, “Where did you go to play today?”

At that moment, Jian Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
