Too Much To Handle! The Canary Forced Love on The Grim/Vicious Villain - Chapter 16

【Great! Last night Sī Yùhuái also obediently stayed by my side and didn’t run away!】

Si Yuhai: “???”

He never realized Jiāng Xù’s possessiveness was this strong?

He really wanted him to stay obediently at his side?

Just how much did he like clinging to him?

Si Yuhai couldn’t understand why Jiang Xu had so many strange quirks.

Or was it… that all young people these days liked these trendy things, and didn’t feel ashamed playing around with them? Was this really the generation gap between him and Jiang Xu?

Was he… actually old now?

Maybe there really was some fun in it?

Should he… give it a try?

But the moment he thought of Jiang Xu’s arsenal, his scalp went numb.

Who on earth prepared so many… tools?

And then his gaze fell on the rope tied around his wrist—his scalp tingled all over again.

Unbearable!

Completely unbearable!

While Si Yuhai’s brain was fighting itself, Jiang Xu had already dozed off again on his chest, carefree and thoughtless.

Gritting his teeth, Si Yuhai untied the rope and tied it back onto Jiang Xu instead.

This guy must be part pig, because even after Si Yuhai finished all that, he still didn’t wake up.

Dusting his hands off, Si Yuhai grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower.

Zhōu Xùníng was dropped off by Chǔ Xīngchí before work.

He came looking for Jiang Xu to “study.”

Written as: study.
Read as: play around.

Because he found that studying in person was much more convenient than over voice chat, and besides, he could freeload a meal.

But when he went upstairs, he didn’t see Jiang Xu. After asking the butler, he went straight to Si Yuhai’s room.

The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Jiang Xu tangled up in red rope, squirming alone on the bed.

“Hey! Xiao Ning, you’re here! Quick, help me out, I can’t break free!”

Zhou Xuning: “…”

Jiang Xu’s hands were bound tight, rope wrapped around several times. From his struggling, white wrists and arms were already marked with red welts.

The last time Zhou saw something like this was when he watched Nezha Conquers the Dragon King as a kid—Áo Bǐng had been just as pitiful…

Zhou’s throat bobbed. He was actually frightened, his voice trembling.

“Jiang… Jiang Xu, this is…”

Just how cruel was his brother being to Jiang Xu?!

Jiang Xu gave a wry smile: “I used this to tie up Si Yuhai last night, don’t know how it ended up tied on me instead.”

Zhou went to untie him, fuming the whole time at Si Yuhai.

That man was becoming more and more impossible to deal with, sharper and harsher by the day.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xu was easygoing, kind, and gentle. If it were him, trapped like this and robbed of his freedom, he would’ve already jumped out the window in despair.

But Si Yuhai had gotten worse and worse—now twisted enough to tie Jiang Xu up!

Jiang Xu didn’t even realize it was Zhou who had accidentally tightened the slipknot while trying to untangle it…

Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, saying: “Jiang Xu, hurry and divorce Huai-ge! Or else… I’ll find a way to help you escape?!”

Si Yuhai wondered if his ears were deceiving him.

“What did he just say?”

System: “He said he’ll help your wife escape from your house, out of your control. What, getting old and going deaf already?”

Si Yuhai: “…”

“I treat him badly? And he actually wants to run away? He does nothing but eat and sleep, has even put on weight, and I’ve mistreated him?!”

Si Yuhai was full of grievances.

System: “…”

“You won’t even indulge his little kinks, and you call that treating him well? Host, scientific research proves—an unharmonious marital life is often the key cause of divorce.”

Si Yuhai: “…”

How was that his fault?!

Jiang Xu’s tastes were just too… extreme!

And Si Yuhai was never one to self-reflect!

If he had the guts, he could try running. Let’s see if he could really escape Si Yuhai’s grasp.

But then he heard Jiang Xu, terrified—

“Xiao Ning! Don’t say things like that! Si Yuhai is actually really good to me. I’m very happy with him, don’t break us apart, I love him!”

In his heart, Jiang Xu thought—where else could he find such a sweet gig? Free food, free lodging, and when his sugar daddy was happy, he’d throw money around!

Zhou’s heart ached even more. He squeezed Jiang Xu’s hand: “I get it, I really do. This is the infamous Stockholm Syndrome—falling in love with your kidnapper.”

Si Yuhai was so furious he almost wanted to break through this alien tech system and beat Zhou up.

He paid for that brat’s education, and this is what he learned?!

Was he really just being… too much of a freak?

Well, Si Yuhai had ten more years of life experience and wasn’t about to let some yellow-haired kid intimidate him.

He placed a passionate order for a certain… batch of things to give Jiang Xu an eye-opener, then sent him a message—

【I prepared a surprise for you. Check when it arrives.】

Then he focused back on work, eager to finish early and rush home to see Jiang Xu’s reaction.

Jiang Xu had no idea what the “surprise” was, but since he and Si Yuhai often weren’t on the same wavelength, he didn’t bother to think too much about it.

After breakfast, he went upstairs to study with Zhou.

Zhou had specially looked up Jiang Xu’s grades yesterday. And wow… they really were… bad.

So he couldn’t help but doubt Jiang Xu’s abilities.

But when he saw Jiang Xu so organized, with clear thinking and orderly study methods, he was shocked. He looked just like a straight-up top student.

Could someone really fake that kind of scholarly aura?

Jiang Xu even helped Zhou narrow down the exam scope.

Zhou stared blankly as Jiang Xu explained study methods.

“Wait—so packed? You in a hurry to reincarnate? With this, you could finish a whole semester’s material in one week!”

Jiang Xu snapped his fingers: “Exactly. As long as you don’t sleep, it’s doable.”

Zhou’s eyes widened: “Bullshit! No one can go without sleep.”

Jiang Xu shook his head, helpless. Patting Zhou’s shoulder, he said: “Classmate, you’ve still got a lot to learn.”

At 17, Jiang Xu had been scouted by a company. Not only did he have to train and participate in auditions, he also carved out time to get into university.

By coincidence, he was in the same major as Zhou—management.

He thought, if the entertainment industry didn’t work out, he couldn’t just be an unemployed bum. Having a plan B gave him security.

Every hour of the day had to be tightly scheduled just to squeeze out time for rest.

Of course, a week without sleep wasn’t possible, but sleeping three or four hours a day? Doable.

It was mostly because he was young and his body could handle it.

“Hard work brings misfortune” wasn’t just a saying. Jiang Xu had worked extremely hard in his past life.

So now he was enjoying his karmic reward—a Si Yuhai who let him slack off every day.

Ruffling Zhou’s hair, Jiang Xu said: “Don’t worry, you just need to focus on studying six hours a day. The rest of your time is free.”

“…Ha, thanks a lot.”

Though it felt extreme, having someone to study with boosted efficiency.

Zhou genuinely felt Jiang Xu wasn’t anything like a bad student at all.
