The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 33
Every morning, the first thing Jian Tao saw upon opening his eyes was Jiang Mu. This had been true every single day since he arrived. Jiang Mu always woke up earlier than him; by the time Jian Tao opened his eyes, Jiang Mu was already watching him, and there was no telling for how long.
Then, while Jian Tao was still in a daze, Jiang Mu would kiss him. He would tilt Jian Tao’s chin up to suck and lick his lips, often hooking his tongue to linger in a deep entanglement for a long time.
Every morning, Jian Tao was kissed into consciousness by Jiang Mu. Over time, he had grown accustomed to it. Occasionally, he would even respond instinctively, which would make Jiang Mu appear extremely excited, often leading to even deeper intimacy.
This morning was no exception. Eventually, Jiang Mu carried the limp Jian Tao to the bathroom and only brought him out once he was cleaned up.
The two then went downstairs to dine together. Whenever Jiang Mu exhausted him like this in the morning, Jian Tao lacked energy. He would appear wilted and could hardly be bothered to move his chopsticks.
Jiang Mu would sit beside him and feed him bite by bite, a service Jian Tao enjoyed naturally.
When it was time for Jiang Mu to leave for work, he would pull Jian Tao to the door, their noses brushing against each other. “Tao Tao, come to the company with me,” he would say.
Jian Tao immediately shook his head. Jiang Mu had taken him there a few times, and he had seen how the man treated his subordinates. Those people were trembling with fear under his oppressive aura; he was clearly a cold-blooded boss.
Furthermore, Jiang Mu insisted on holding his hand or even hugging him in front of those employees. He even made Jian Tao sit next to him during meetings, which made Jian Tao feel extremely uncomfortable. Besides, he still had a mission to spend two hours with Lu Jingze every day, so there was no way he would go.
“I am not going. I have to walk Xiaobai at home. You should hurry up,” Jian Tao urged.
“Alright,” Jiang Mu said somewhat reluctantly. He then lowered his head to kiss Jian Tao again, repeatedly bullying those lips that were already red and swollen.
Jian Tao had to swat his shoulders several times before being released. Every time Jiang Mu prepared to leave, he acted as if he wanted to devour him, which was very troublesome.
“Just go to the company already,” Jian Tao said crossly.
Jiang Mu gave him one last kiss before getting into the car. Jian Tao finally sighed in relief as the man drove away. However, when he turned around, he found Su Wen standing right behind him. He had no idea how long Su Wen had been there, and Jian Tao felt incredibly embarrassed.
With his small face flushed and his lips engorged with blood, Jian Tao walked past Su Wen awkwardly.
Once inside the villa, Jian Tao quickly went to the second floor and returned to his room. Just as he turned to close the door, he suddenly discovered that Su Wen had followed him all the way up.
Jian Tao was startled. Su Wen’s expression was very gloomy, and his tall figure felt like a wall pressing down on him.
“What are you doing?” Jian Tao asked nervously.
Su Wen did not speak. He simply stared straight at him with a deep, heavy gaze. Jian Tao felt a bit apprehensive and tried to shut the door, but Su Wen grabbed the doorframe and walked inside.
Jian Tao sensed that something was wrong with his state of mind and began to feel uneasy. Still, he put on the air of the master of the house. “Who allowed you to come in?”
Su Wen approached him and reached out to stroke his swollen lips. His thumb rubbed and teased the sensitive skin as his gaze grew deeper, yet a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked directly at Jian Tao and asked, “Does he make you feel more comfortable when he kisses you, or do I?”
“How could you…” Jian Tao’s face grew even redder and his eyelashes trembled. Backed into a corner, his fingers instinctively picked at the wallpaper. Su Wen’s words reminded him of that game of hide-and-seek when they had hidden in a cabinet together, and Su Wen had secretly kissed him to get back at Jiang Shi.
But why was he bringing this up now? Under Su Wen’s intense gaze, Jian Tao’s face burned hotter. “Why should I answer that question?”
Su Wen’s smile deepened. “You remember, do you not?” He tilted Jian Tao’s chin up. “Now, let me give you a reminder.”
Su Wen’s lips descended. Jian Tao’s already swollen lips were subjected to further torment. Jian Tao felt his lips itch and sting; Su Wen was like a wolf, repeatedly nipping at him.
Jian Tao felt bullied. Feeling increasingly aggrieved, tears began to fall rapidly. His limbs grew weak from the intensity of the kiss. He kept trying to push Su Wen away and even raised his foot to kick him.
However, Su Wen was like a solid wall that would not budge. It was not until Jian Tao felt a lack of oxygen and could barely breathe that Su Wen finally released him. Without any support, Jian Tao’s legs gave way and he began to collapse.
Su Wen caught him. His eyes were cold and deep, reflecting a hint of ruthlessness despite the smile on his face. “Young Master, how does it feel? Is it better than Jiang Mu?”
Jian Tao’s eyelids drooped, the shadows of his lashes trembling. He took quite a while to recover his strength. When he looked at the man in front of him again, he raised his foot and kicked him.
To his surprise, Su Wen’s legs felt like iron pillars. After the kick, the man did not move at all, but Jian Tao’s own leg developed a cramp. He instinctively grabbed onto the man in front of him and cried out, “My leg has a cramp! Hurry!”
Jian Tao hated this feeling; it was a helpless pain. At the same time, he wondered if Su Wen was his jinx, as the man seemed to be present every time he had a cramp.
“Hurry up!” Jian Tao’s tears wet his eyelashes, which clumped together. His eyes were bright red as he looked at Su Wen with a look of spite.
Su Wen’s previously gloomy expression softened slightly. He picked Jian Tao up in his arms, his tone carrying a mix of resentment and mockery. “The Young Master was so obsessed with Jiang Shi before, and yet it has not been long and you are already inseparable from his brother. You really have no heart.”
Jian Tao pouted, his cheeks rosy with the embarrassment of being caught kissing Jiang Mu. Su Wen made him sound like a total scoundrel.
“It seems the Young Master is also a heartless person who turns his back on others easily,” Su Wen said. He placed Jian Tao on the bed and knelt by the bedside. “Or perhaps the Young Master does not care at all who his bed partner is.”
Jian Tao was sweating from the pain, yet Su Wen was still rambling on. Jian Tao immediately raised his other leg and kicked Su Wen’s shoulder. “Hurry up and help me massage the cramp!”
Su Wen grabbed Jian Tao’s ankle. He looked up at Jian Tao, then stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the tip of Jian Tao’s toe.
Jian Tao felt an electric shock travel from his toe, and his entire body froze in shock. His face turned an explosive red. “You!”
Su Wen did it again right in front of him. Jian Tao could not use one leg due to the cramp and the other was being held, so he had to rely on his hands to support himself on the bed. However, his arms felt weak, and he collapsed onto the mattress.
“Su Wen, you… you pervert!” Jian Tao cursed. His face was hot enough to cook an egg, and tears kept streaming down. He covered his face with his hands, looking like he did not want to face reality.
By now, Su Wen was kneeling completely on the floor, diligently attending to the two fair and delicate feet. One of his hands also considerately massaged the calf of the cramped leg.
Jian Tao felt like a cooked shrimp. Suddenly, he heard a familiar ringing sound. He looked up tremblingly and saw that Su Wen had already tied that bell around his own neck.
The bell jingled continuously with his movements. Jian Tao nearly collapsed. Was this some new way for a villain to get revenge? He really was a total pervert!
From that day on, Jian Tao avoided Su Wen whenever he saw him. Su Wen looked at him the way a dog looks at meat, which terrified him.
When only seven days remained, the system finally announced the ultimate task.
250 said, “Ultimate task initiated: The cannon fodder villain drugs the main couple, intending to catch them in the act and take secret photos. However, the couple possesses incredible willpower. They discover the plot, and the villain ends up suffering the consequences.”
“Requirement: The main couple and the cannon fodder villain must all be present. The villain’s plot must be exposed on the spot, leading to his retribution.”
Jian Tao was shocked after seeing this task. “The cannon fodder villain is truly wicked.”
“Do not worry, the main couple will be fine. You are the one who will be in trouble,” 250 comforted him.
“What kind of retribution will I face?” Jian Tao felt quite scared.
“This is not clearly defined; it depends on how things develop,” 250 said. Jian Tao mentally organized the task. “In other words, I will face an attack after finishing this task, and then another attack once Jiang Mu finds out I have cheated on him. These two attacks should be enough to finish me off.”
“But in the meantime, I still have to survive the final seven days,” Jian Tao muttered, feeling the difficulty was too high. After thinking for a while, he said, “Within these seven days, I will complete the task involving the main couple first. Then, on the final day, I will intentionally let Jiang Mu discover the betrayal. Only then can I precisely complete the entire plot.”
Jian Tao sighed. “This is so difficult.”
“Good luck, Tao Tao!” 250 cheered.
After venting his frustrations, he took out his phone. He wanted to check Jiang Shi’s recent status, but he realized he had deleted him earlier to show his anger.
Therefore, he did not even know where Jiang Shi was. How could he complete this task? Furthermore, he had said such nasty things at the bar and then went to eavesdrop on Jiang Shi and his brother. When Jiang Shi found out his brother was with Jian Tao, he felt his brother had been tainted and acted as if he had gone crazy.
Thinking about it, Jian Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Right, the bar. He could go to the bar to find him and see if his resentment toward Jian Tao was still that strong.
As long as he dealt with Jiang Shi, the situation with Su Wen would be easier to handle. Thinking about Su Wen made Jian Tao’s toes curl; after all, Su Wen was a pervert with a foot fetish.
He made arrangements in advance, telling Jiang Mu that he missed his parents and wanted to stay at home for a day. That way, after going to the bar, he could still go to Lu Jingze’s place for two hours and finally stay at a random hotel for the night.
At night, Jian Tao specifically drove an inconspicuous car. To be safe, he wore a mask on his face.
Before entering, he thought the chances of running into Jiang Shi were low. However, as soon as he stepped inside, he did not even have to look around to know Jiang Shi was there, because the person singing heart-wrenchingly on stage was none other than him.
He was clearly singing “Starry Sky,” a song he had written during a trip that was supposed to be fresh and light, yet he managed to sing it with the feeling of a gut-wrenching breakup.
Jian Tao found a seat. Originally, he wanted to create a chance encounter so Jiang Shi would notice him once he came off stage. However, he found that after Jiang Shi finished singing, he simply kept singing the same song over and over. He looked at the reactions of the people around him; everyone seemed normal, as if this were not the first time he had done this.
Jian Tao waited patiently, but even after more than an hour, Jiang Shi continued despite his voice being hoarse.
Out of necessity, Jian Tao took off his mask and hat and walked toward the stage, wanting to see how Jiang Shi would react upon seeing him.
Just as Jian Tao walked that way, Jiang Shi glanced in his direction and immediately froze. He dropped his guitar and rushed toward him.
While Jian Tao was still in shock, Jiang Shi arrived in front of him. His expression was a mix of excitement and restraint. He was not in a good state, with bloodshot eyes and a heavy smell of alcohol; he looked quite decadent.
“Jian Tao,” Jiang Shi called his name in a daze, feeling as if he were dreaming.
The lights in the bar were dim and ambiguous, shining on Jian Tao’s face in an exceptionally striking way. Jiang Shi was momentarily mesmerized until he heard Jian Tao’s response. “What a coincidence.”
Jiang Shi’s eyes lit up for a moment, and he seemed a bit at a loss. After a while, he asked softly, “Can you sit with me for a bit?”
“Hmm?” Jian Tao was surprised. Why did it feel like Jiang Shi was no longer hostile? Or did he think his brother loved Jian Tao, so he was offering respect and blessings?
Jiang Shi’s proposal was exactly what Jian Tao wanted, and it even made him a bit happy. He had thought it would be very difficult to re-establish a good connection with Jiang Shi, but this was completely unexpected.
The two sat down in a booth. It was only then that Jian Tao realized Jiang Shi’s entire demeanor had changed. The way he looked at Jian Tao carried a hint of caution, and he seemed much more well-behaved. “Jian Tao, how have you been at the Jiang house?”
He was actually concerned about him? Could it really be because his brother liked him? Loving the house and its crow as well?
“I have been quite well,” Jian Tao said casually.
A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of Jiang Shi’s mouth. “Everything was my fault before.”
Jian Tao was even more surprised. Then he heard words that would sound normal from anyone else but were shocking coming from Jiang Shi. He said, “I am sorry.”
A look of bewilderment flashed across Jian Tao’s face. Jiang Shi actually admitted his mistake! He actually apologized? Was this still him?
Jian Tao was so shocked that he blurted out, “It is okay.”
Jiang Shi was dazed for a moment, then his eyes widened. After a while, a surge of joy seemed to erupt in his eyes. He moved closer to Jian Tao’s position and excitedly grabbed Jian Tao’s hand. His eyes grew moist, and his voice choked up. “Jian Tao, if I…”
Jiang Shi wanted to say so much. During this time, he had thought of a thousand “if” possibilities and felt immense regret. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
“Brother Tao.”
The clear, familiar voice made Jian Tao look back reflexively. He then saw Lu Jingze, who was wearing a bright, youthful smile.
“Why are you here?” Jian Tao asked in surprise. “Did you not quit your job around here?”
“I happened to be passing by and wanted to come in for a few drinks.” Lu Jingze sat down naturally beside Jian Tao. He then looked at Jiang Shi, resting his arm naturally on the sofa as if he were embracing Jian Tao. “What are you two chatting about?”
Jiang Shi looked at him, and his love-rival radar immediately sent out a piercing alarm. The muscles in his cheeks twitched, but he did not lash out. Instead, he forced a smile. “Just catching up.”
Caught in the middle, Jian Tao felt the magnetic field was not right. Jiang Shi might have accepted that he was with his brother, but now he had seen Lu Jingze. Jian Tao was very afraid that he would see through the deception, so he immediately stood up. “By the way, I have something to discuss with him, so I will be leaving first.”
As he spoke, he pulled Lu Jingze up with him. At that moment, the veins on Jiang Shi’s face bulged, and his hands were clenched into fists. However, he exercised extreme restraint, not wanting to reveal any flaws, and forced himself to act relaxed as he let out a soft sound of agreement.
Jian Tao left the bar and had Lu Jingze get into his car. He was in an excellent mood. Not only had he tested Jiang Shi’s attitude, but he also did not have to go out of his way to find Lu Jingze.
Jian Tao checked the time and planned to simply stay in the car with him for the full two hours. Just as he was about to suggest playing some games to Lu Jingze, the system, 250, reminded him, “Tao Tao, you have spent enough time with Lu Jingze for today.”
“What?” Jian Tao was very surprised. “Did we not just meet?”
“The system shows that you two have already been in the same space for a full two hours,” 250 said.
“Oh,” Jian Tao realized. It seemed Lu Jingze had arrived at the bar very early, but they simply had not seen each other. They had already completed the required time while inside the bar.
Since the task was finished, Jian Tao wanted to find an excuse to leave. However, while he was thinking of a reason, Lu Jingze suddenly leaned over. Very abruptly, he kissed Jian Tao on the lips. Initially, Jian Tao struggled a little, but Lu Jingze’s kissing technique was too good, and he gradually let him have his way.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingze looked out of the car window with a smile at Jiang Shi’s hideously distorted face.
Jian Tao eventually returned to his family home. This was because Jiang Mu had been frantically trying to video call him the night before. He had been forced to answer the call in his car and tell Jiang Mu that he had gone out to buy things. Once Jiang Mu was reassured, the man insisted on coming to pick him up the next day.
Left with no choice, Jian Tao actually did return and slept there for one night.
The next morning, Jian Tao woke up feeling comfortable. In his sleepy state, he saw Jiang Mu’s face. The man, as usual, kissed him as soon as he saw him wake up. In his daze, Jian Tao let him do as he pleased, but once he fully processed the situation, the hair on his body stood on end.
This was because he was currently in his own home!
“How long have you been here?” Jian Tao asked blankly.
Jiang Mu rubbed his lips against Jian Tao’s. “Six hours,” he replied.
Jian Tao was speechless.
It was currently nine in the morning, which meant Jiang Mu had arrived while it was still dark outside. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jian Tao’s skin. He was incredibly glad that he had returned early the night before!
After washing up, Jian Tao returned home with Jiang Mu. The two of them sat in the back seat, and Jiang Mu held his hand the entire way.
He held his hand throughout the journey and occasionally wanted to kiss him, his face, or his neck. Originally, Jian Tao had not felt much about this, but thinking about Jiang Mu appearing at his house in the middle of the night made his skin crawl. He felt a constant sense of unease.
The car turned a corner, and the villa gradually came into view. As they drew closer, a figure standing by the high wall of the villa became increasingly clear.
The person seemed to be idling away the time, boredly kicking pebbles on the side of the road. When Jian Tao finally saw him clearly, he nearly jumped out of his skin from fright.
Why was Lu Jingze here?
Jian Tao was so shocked that his wide eyes happened to meet Lu Jingze’s gaze outside the car. Then, the other man’s gaze shifted and landed on Jiang Mu.
However, Lu Jingze did not act surprised. He looked as if he were simply taking a walk out of boredom. Only then did Jian Tao feel his soul return to his body.
So, Lu Jingze must have seen the reports about his marriage to Jiang Mu long ago. Jian Tao had thought the younger man would not pay attention to such things, but it turned out he knew everything. In that case, he should also know that the relationship between them could not be discovered by anyone.
“What is wrong? Why are you looking at him?” Jiang Mu asked with a frown.
Jian Tao was so guilty that his fingers twisted together. “It is nothing,” he said.
Jiang Mu swept a glance out of the window and gave a brief response.
Two more days passed, and Jian Tao received an opportunity. Jiang Chengli sent him a message saying that the bar was holding a tenth-anniversary celebration and invited him to come and have some fun.
After confirming that Jiang Shi would also be there, Jian Tao informed Su Wen. To ensure that both the lead attacker and receiver would be present, Jian Tao used his old trick. He told Jiang Mu that there were family matters to discuss and that he needed to stay at his parents’ house for another night. After Jiang Mu agreed, Jian Tao actually went back to his own home.
Before it was time to go to the bar, he started a video call with Jiang Mu to put him at ease.
However, Jiang Mu was exceptionally difficult to deal with tonight. Looking at the man’s cold, hard, and pale face, Jian Tao felt that the words he spoke were completely at odds with his appearance. “I miss you,” Jiang Mu said.
Jian Tao was speechless. “Am I not letting you look at me right now? Besides, you are picking me up tomorrow anyway.”
“It is down here that misses you. I want to come and find you.” Jiang Mu moved the camera downward. Despite having a cold, stern face and a voice like cold metal, he was actually capable of doing such a shameless thing.
Jian Tao’s face immediately turned bright red, and he felt anxious. He certainly could not let Jiang Mu come over to find him. “No, you must think of another way.”
Jiang Mu looked at the face on the screen. “Then let me see.”
Jian Tao’s face was so red that it looked like it might bleed, but because he had important things to do tonight, he could not let the man come over. He obediently followed the instructions. Jiang Mu gave the orders, and Jian Tao carried them out.
After nearly two hours of lingering, Jian Tao was covered in sweat and truly had no strength left. Only then did Jiang Mu stop.
“Tao Tao, be good,” Jiang Mu said softly. His cold, stone-like face tried to make a playful expression, which looked quite frightening.
“Yes, I will,” Jian Tao said perfunctorily, then immediately hung up the call.
As soon as the call ended, he cursed, “You dead pervert!”
There was no way he was going to be “good” tonight!
