Too Much To Handle! The Canary Forced Love on The Grim/Vicious Villain - Chapter 24

Ten fingers linked to the heart—how much pain would that be for a teenage boy? Jiang Xu didn’t dare imagine.

No wonder Si Yuhuai later became so good at enduring, no wonder he resorted to every possible means for revenge, so desperate to see Si Yuming dead.

“Your sister now…”

Zhou Xuning lowered his gaze, then quickly lifted his head with a relaxed smile. “Come to think of it, I haven’t visited her in a long time either. Next time I’ll take you along.”

Jiang Xu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that she couldn’t bear it anymore and already…?

Zhou Xuning patted Jiang Xu’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go to the library. I had someone save us a good spot!”

Jiang Xu nodded and followed him.

The afternoon passed rather peacefully, but news of Jiang Xu’s return quickly spread through the group chats.

There are no walls that can block out the wind—soon, Lin Zixin’s issue was also made public.

By evening, Lin Zixin took the initiative to apologize to Jiang Xu in the class group chat.

【Regarding my inappropriate remarks today, I now want to respond. I was shallow and vulgar, I shouldn’t have maliciously speculated about a classmate, nor insulted with words. It was my fault, I apologize to Jiang Xu…】

After reading the message, Jiang Xu curved his lips into a smile.

Then his fingers tapped rapidly.

【1】

【Not forgiven.】

When Lin Zixin saw this reply, he nearly ground his teeth to dust.

But then, thinking about how Jiang Xu was about to suffer a big misfortune, he couldn’t help but laugh.

He sent a message to Jiang Rui.

“Rui-ge, Jiang Xu has shown up. You can come find him anytime.”

Ever since the Jiang family had found Jiang Xu, Jiang’s parents had visited the school once to check on his situation.

At that time, Jiang Rui, his elder brother, had also added his contact information.

Jiang Rui had said: “Tell me Jiang Xu’s movements in school at all times.”

Jiang Rui’s face bore some resemblance to Jiang Xu’s, but his temperament was completely different—naturally brash, hostile, and showing no kindness toward Jiang Xu.

Lin Zixin thought this was normal. After all, Jiang Rui had been an only child. Now, the family assets would have to be shared half-and-half with Jiang Xu. Who would look pleased about that?

He also knew about Jiang Xu’s recent sick leave. At that time, Jiang Rui had told him to keep an eye on Jiang Xu.

Now that Jiang Rui had a lead, could Jiang Xu still have a good outcome?

With less than half a month left before exams, Jiang Xu reviewed the material and had a general idea of what to expect.

In the evening, Si Yuhuai’s car arrived at the school gates right on time.

Jiang Xu: “…”

In fact, the school had already arranged a single dorm room for him.

Standing beside the car, Jiang Xu didn’t move.

Si Yuhuai, seeing him hesitate, raised a brow. “What? Do you need me to invite you in?”

Jiang Xu silently got into the car.

Just then, Zhou Xuning came over. “Huai-ge, give me a lift, yeah?”

“Get out,” Si Yuhuai said, then started the engine and drove off.

Zhou Xuning: “…”

Before he could kick the car speeding away, a voice came from behind.

“Ning Ning.”

Turning around, Zhou Xuning saw Chu Xingchi standing there. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, his face looked especially gentle.

“Chu-ge? What brings you here!”

In the car, Jiang Xu hugged his schoolbag and yawned.

【Studying sure takes a lot of energy. I’m starving.】

Si Yuhuai chuckled.

The butler had prepared so much food for him—how could he still be hungry?

He took a dessert out of the car and placed it in Jiang Xu’s lap.

“Eat.”

Jiang Xu’s eyes lit up.

He was indeed hungry, but…

“Is eating in your precious car allowed?”

Si Yuhuai arched a brow. “Otherwise, get out and eat while I drive home?”

Others might not be allowed, but Jiang Xu was an exception.

Jiang Xu was already fluent in translating Si Yuhuai’s sarcastic tone. He naturally took this as permission, grinned, and lowered his head to dig into the dessert.

This time, Jiang Xu remembered to offer the first bite to the benefactor. He held the spoon to Si Yuhuai’s lips. “Si Yuhuai, ah—”

But as the cake neared his lips, Jiang Xu’s hand froze.

【Eh? Don’t domineering CEOs always hate sweet, sticky things? Si Yuhuai must hate them too.】

【Who understands the value of the very first bite of cake?!】

【Might as well enjoy it myself!】

The spoon took a sharp turn—into his own mouth.

Si Yuhuai: “…”

Why did he even bother expecting anything from Jiang Xu?

Irritated, he said, “As a canary, shouldn’t you know your patron’s tastes?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu froze, lips smeared with cream, stiffly turning his neck to look at Si Yuhuai.

“Your tastes… Si Yuhuai, we’re on a public road right now, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

【His taste? Doesn’t that mean me—the little cake? Doing this on the street? Not human anymore?】

Si Yuhuai: “…”

Was his brain filled with nothing but indecent thoughts?

Jiang Xu, serious and cautious: “Si Yuhuai, hold back a little, don’t let yourself go too far, alright?”

Si Yuhuai: “???”

Did he really look like someone who’d lose control at any time?

Jiang Xu sat rigidly upright, looking truly troubled.

A smile tugged at Si Yuhuai’s lips, his dark eyes gleaming with mischief. “Oh? Doesn’t the patron have the biggest say? Jiang Xu, you’re being very naughty.”

As he said this, the car rolled to a stop.

Looking up, Jiang Xu realized they’d already entered the estate.

When he turned his head, his eyes met a pair of predatory ones. His breath caught.

Si Yuhuai slowly leaned closer, long fingers brushing Jiang Xu’s soft chin in a teasing caress.

His gaze burned, a greedy hunger flickering in his eyes, as though it might leap out the next second and devour him whole.

Nervously, Jiang Xu swallowed.

【Naughty?】

【So Si Yuhuai has this kind of kink?】

【If I’m not obedient, how will he “train” me?】

His hand went to his bare neck, as though he already felt a collar clasped around it.

Si Yuhuai narrowed his eyes at the motion.

At first, he had only wanted to scare the little thing. But in this moment…

His thumb slid down the boy’s pale, delicate throat, palm encircling his neck.

He rubbed lightly.

Such a fair, beautiful neck. A finely shaped collarbone beneath.

If adorned with a collar…

It would surely be exquisite.

Under his heated, fantasizing gaze, Jiang Xu finally understood what it meant to “drive with your eyes.”

His small Adam’s apple bobbed, his nerves stretched taut.

Meeting that intense look, he felt completely under the other’s control.

【Ah… don’t look at me like that! I really can’t take it!】

【If he really… then what should I call him? Patron? Or… Master?】

【For real? Playing seriously? That’s way too embarrassing!】

When Si Yuhuai looked up, he saw a chibi version of Jiang Xu in servant’s clothes sitting on the ground, face burning red, clutching at his wildly thumping heart.
