At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Jian Dan’s fever subsided. As soon as he opened his eyes, he scanned the room looking for something.
The sound of the iron chain was followed by the jubilant voice of the youth, “Senior, are you okay?”
Jian Dan scrutinized the youth’s favorable attitude. The young man sat on the ground and looked at him. His eyes were full of excitement. Jian Dan couldn’t tell how he felt in his heart, “En.”
Who knew if it was because of some sunlight coming in from the balcony, but the light in the room was so bright that even the atmosphere no longer felt oppressive.
Jian Dan’s voice was hoarse. “Why didn’t you run away while I was asleep?”
Chen You secretly rolled his eyes. Do you not see me chained up? “Senior, you still don’t believe me.”
Jian Dan sat up from the bed. When the angle changed, he discovered that there were many unidentified water marks and several blood stains on the floor.
What happened before he fainted replayed in his mind. Jian Dan was silent for a long time before saying, “Senior hurt you.”
Chen You said it wasn’t serious and that he was already okay.
Jian Dan got out of bed and pulled him up. His eyebrows furrowed in an instant. “This is considered okay?”
Chen You said earnestly, “If Senior is okay, I will be okay.”
Jian Dan watched him meaningfully for a few seconds, then rubbed his hands and said, “Don’t move. I’ll fetch you some water to clean up.”
As soon as he left, Chen You’s face twisted. His bottom hurt.
Jian Dan came in carrying a basin and clean clothes, and asked Chen You to take off the dirty ones.
Chen You followed his orders. Without any coverings, everything on his body was exposed. It was shocking.
Jian Dan took a breath.
Chen You laughed in his heart. Don’t look at it. You’re the psychopath who did it, aren’t I miserable? Let me tell you, this isn’t even the worst. Look down.
Jian Dan had already looked him over.
How are you, satisfied with your masterpiece? Chen You cursed in his heart. Your mother, it’s painful to pee, so I’ll have to drink as little water as possible in the next few days.
After an indescribable silence, Jian Dan asked Chen You to turn around.
Chen You turned his back to the man as mute as a fish. Behind him came the sound of a towel swishing in the water. Slowly, his entire back became wet.
He was silent as he allowed the man to wipe down his body.
Chen You wasn’t influenced by negative emotions. He squinted as he looked at the bits of broken sunlight sprinkled onto his feet. Chen You resurrected, full of blood, looking forward to successful completion of the task.

It seemed that once the fever subsided, Jian Dan’s Yin energy was gone. He had gone back to the elegant and gentle boss version, aside from ignoring the iron chain.

Jian Dan’s eyes were soft. “I’ll bring you something delicious when I come back.”
Chen You, “…”
So are you deliberately making me starve for a day? Boss, you are ruthless.
Jian Dan kissed Chen You on the face, “Be good, or Senior will be angry.”
Chen You put on a little white rabbit act in a minute. Believe it or not, you throw me a vegetable leaf and I can chew it for you immediately.
As he was about to leave through the door, Jian Dan came back and pinched Chen You. “I bought you a chamber pot.”
Saying ‘chamber pot’ with such a loving tone, something was definitely wrong.
One of Chen You’s hands was handcuffed to the head of the bed, connected to a chain that was long enough for him to move around the room.
The chamber pot beside the bed was very big. If he wanted to urinate, he could squat to solve it and didn’t need to worry about it. Jian Dan would come back at night and take the chamber pot away.
While listening to the sound of the car’s engine, Chen You sighed. He laid down on the bed and picked up a book. It was in English and didn’t have any pictures. What bullshit.
Before noon, Chen You was hungry.
When he used to go to school, he would be hungry every morning at this time without exception.
Chen You would often start to collect the books on the desk and straighten up his school uniform. When it was all done, he’d look out the window and get ready to run out of the classroom and head straight to the canteen as soon as the bell rang.
“444, can you sell me some bread?”
The system replied, “I really don’t have any.”
Chen You swallowed his saliva. He swallowed a few more times in hopes that it would curb his appetite for a while. After trying, he found it was a little useful.
In the afternoon, Chen You became dizzy. On one hand, he hypnotized himself to quickly fall asleep since he wouldn’t feel hunger while he was sleeping. While on the other, he dreamt about what delicacies Jian Dan would bring back such as chicken legs, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, and more mouthfuls of meat.
Chen You lost his face and gnawed the bottom left corner of a book. According to the system, his current sense of hunger should be far off from the unknown host’s.
Because he was still holding onto the rationalized thought that he would rather die of starvation than eat himself.
In a daze, the door opened. Chen You feebly opened his eyelids to look in that direction. After a moment, his eyes widened. Boss, you’re back.
Jian Dan came in with food packaged by the hotel. “Are you hungry?”
Hungry, wretchedly hungry. Chen You licked his lips and stared at the lunch box in Jian Dan’s hand with green eyes.
Instead of giving him food, Jian Dan told him a story.
Chen You was as hungry as a dead dog. What was the point of listening to stories? All his attention was focused on the lunch box. He couldn’t help smelling the fragrance.
Jian Dan finished the story and asked, “So tell me, what mistake was made?”
Chen You’s face was lifeless.
Jian Dan raised his eyebrows. “After you answer, we’ll have dinner.”
Chen You immediately went to pull the man’s sleeve, “Review, Senior. Tell me again, this time I’ll behave for sure!” Ah, ah, ah,ah, ah, you psychopath! Laozi is growing short on sympathy and pity for you.
Jian Dan pursed his lips and chuckled, “I’ll give you one more chance.”
Chen You wept with joy. This time he listened to it very seriously, word by word. It was a story of a clever lamb who was eaten by a wolf.
All right, I got your warning and contempt.
When Jian Dan asked, Chen You answered, “It’s the sheep that’s stupid.”
Jian Dan opened the bag. “Come and have dinner.”
Chen You jumped over the chain. He was sure he had never been this hungry in the real world or in any task world. After spending last night with Jian Dan, he hadn’t been able to eat.
Jian Dan sat next to him. “Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”
Chen You devoured his food like a wolf. Go away, will you? I get very angry when I smell you.
Jian Dan scooped some soup with a spoon and fed it to the youth’s mouth. “This is mandarin fish soup. Drink to see if it’s too fishy.”
Chen You slurped it up, “It’s not fishy. It’s delicious.”
Jian Dan put down the spoon and took out an extra pair of chopsticks to grab a piece of chicken. “Taste this and see if it’s delicious. Is it too salty?”
Chen You put it in his mouth and savored it. It was oily but not greasy. “Not salty, it’s very tasty.”
Jian Dan said, “Are you Gu Sheng?”
Chen You blurted out, “No.”The surrounding atmosphere instantly changed.
When he had his third bite, Chen You suddenly had a realization. His face changed drastically. He couldn’t breathe and choked on the unchewed piece of food in his mouth.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Chen You coughed until his face flushed red and purple.
After a while, Jian Dan watched the youth shed physiological tears in agony. Only then did he do something to push the food out. “I’m kidding. Why are you so nervous?”
Chen You screamed FUUUUCK in his heart. Except for this, he had nothing else to say, really.
Jian Dan rubbed the young man’s hair gently. He half narrowed his eyes with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “How lovely, ah.”
Drop your gaze, Chen You choked, It ticks me off.
Coming from a reputable hotel, the food naturally tasted delicious. However, Chen You was scared by Jian Dan into losing his appetite. He only ate half of it and had half left over. He was thinking of saving it for tomorrow.
Jian Dan took away the leftovers, put them in the garbage basket, took out the garbage bag and left.Chen You, “…”
“444, I may be hungry for another day tomorrow. My heart hurts so much I can’t breathe.”
The system said, “You’d better breathe or the target will give you artificial respiration. If you look too cute, he’ll end up having another meal.”
Chen You breathed smoothly right away.
Every day after that it was the same.
Chen You’s life became inferior to a pig’s. He had to play with his owner carefully in fear that he would be killed if he didn’t pay attention to every little detail.
Jian Dan worked in the daytime and was busy in the evening. When he came to see Chen You, it was normally late at night. Sometimes, he wouldn’t come at all.
Jian Dan seemed to be busy dealing with something. He didn’t talk as much as before and would often visit but would just sit aside and stare into space like his mind was wandering. The next moment, he would press Chen You onto the ground and leave once he was finished.
Chen You panicked but no matter what he did, there was no visible progress.
Winter was coming. After a while, this year would pass like all the others.
Even though he was so miserable, Chen You still gained weight. He pinched the fat on his waist and was in a good mood.
On this day, after feeding him, Jian Dan poured a glass of water for Chen You, “I’ll go to the study to deal with my work and come later. If you’re sleepy go to bed first.
These words sounded like something that would be said between an old couple.
Chen You remained motionless. When the door closed, he sat up and drank the water. He held the glass, absorbed in thought. It couldn’t go on like this anymore. He must let the task progress bar break the curse of zero.
“I’ll probably have to cut my wrist in a short while.”
The system probed, “Why go so far as to do that to yourself?”
Chen You briefly explained, “You know, deploy the troops in such a way as to leave no room for maneuver and leave no route for escape so that the soldiers will fight for their dear lives out of desperation and eventually win the battle.”
The system cautioned, “Calm down.”
Chen You asked him, “What happened to me in the last world, have you forgotten?”
The system didn’t utter a sound.
Chen You’s eyes were firm, “With that kind of experience, I can handle any violent storm or wave.”
The system was silent for a while, “Go ahead.”
Chen You broke the glass with a wave of his hand.
He gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of glass and gave a heavy stroke to his wrist.
Watching the blood flowing out of his body, the feeling was indescribable. Chen You’s head began to feel faint. He thought about writing some words in blood to Jian Dan, such as ‘Why don’t you believe me?’ or perhaps, ‘I really like you.’ It could also be ‘Goodbye, senior.’
The difficulty in the choice selection was quite troublesome and Chen You fell into darkness before he was able to come to a decision.

Guide on how to “fix” your psychopath husband~
1) Make him think you’re depedant on him, but he’s the one that depends on you
2) do everything he asks for, so he’ll have a false sense of security
3) Dissapear or k*ll yourself so he understand that he doesn’t control your life
Congratulations, your husband will now live his life in eternal agony! bonus if you write him something like “Please live for both of us” so he won’t k*ll himself as well~
thank you for the chapter!
YEs I hope the ML will suffer😈
Bro, I’d be more worried about bleeding out haha
Ahh…Chen Yu is pitiful. Every world is really scarring his mental fortitude…
Chen Yu is so miserable comparing to other transmigratiors. The system offers visibly almost no helps, the targets are all insane, he take over the bodies with defects or be putted in some vile environments. Dear god the boy is only 19 , if weren’t for his positive attitude he would’ve went insane, I mean I would’ve. I hope by the end if all this, he will rewarded with the best life and all his dreams can be achieved with happiness. Bless this child
