The Canary Flew Away

Everyone says Su Huai is a canary, and that he'll never escape Xie Yanting's grasp.

-

When Su Huai first entered the Xie household, he was only seventeen.

He was as skinny as a cat, and just as pretty.

The Su family's business had run out of cash, so they went begging to Xie Yanting for help. Having heard that Su Huai bore a slight resemblance to Xie Yanting's first love, they sent him over as a gift to curry favor.

Xie Yanting hadn't wanted him, but when he saw the boy's timid, tearful eyes, his heart softened.

At first, Xie Yanting treated Su Huai as nothing more than a pretty ornament. As long as he stayed out of the way, keeping another lovely vase around was no problem.

Later, Xie Yanting got bored and decided to tease the timid boy.

The boy misunderstood him. That night, he drank and stumbled into Xie Yanting's bed, offering up his body almost as if it were a sacrifice.

Xie Yanting was a shameless old beast. After that, he got a taste for it and decided having a canary wasn't so bad.

Besides, his canary was sweet, pretty, and lovable, always obediently calling him "Sir."

Xie Yanting would rub the boy's chin and tease him. "Call me hubby."

Xie Yanting doted on his canary. He personally taught him to read, ride horses, play the piano, and paint. He taught him how to show off his beautiful feathers, and, more than anything, how to... please him.

The boy did it very well.

Xie Yanting thought he had this canary all to himself.

But he never expected that birds could fly. His canary had carefully written down every expense Xie Yanting had paid for him, then left behind some money and a note before flying away.

That night, the all-powerful head of the Xie family lost control, an unusual sight.
