Quick Wear: She Became the Beloved of the Short-lived Male Supporting Character

Seeing her say this so naively, Seventeen decided to tell her everything that had happened before, so that she would not think that Qi Ze and the others were good people and caused her harm due to their negligence.

Seventeen told Shi Suisui all the grudges that had happened between him and Shi Suisui since they met.

From how he met Shi Suisui to how he came to Jiangjia Village.

When Jiang Wan heard about his experience, she was of course indignant and slammed the table, with a look of heartache in her eyes as she spoke up for him.

"They are really too much. It's such a long way from the capital to Jiangjia Village. You must have suffered a lot along the way, right?"

He begged along the road, wandering around with some beggars and vagrants. He had indeed suffered a lot of contempt and endured a lot of hardships, but when he thought about how lucky he was to have met her, those hardships seemed insignificant.

Seventeen thought so and when he met her gentle gaze, his nose suddenly felt sore for some reason and he almost cried.

Thinking about how I cried all the time when I lost my memory, I felt a little embarrassed.

Seventeen shook his head, not wanting her to worry about him.

After talking about Qi Ze and the others, Seventeen focused on her own origins and her identity as a mermaid, but did not say that she needed human love.

Unable to hide her curiosity, she sighed, "I told you that your tears can turn into pearls, so you must not be an ordinary person. I've seen mermaids in picture books, with human heads and fish tails in the lower body. Now that you have recovered your memory, can you turn into a fish by jumping into the sea?"

Seeing that she was not afraid, Seventeen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He now feels that life is pretty good and doesn't want to go back.

Jiang Wan's conflicted look fell into his eyes.

"Maybe." He twirled his fingers. "Do you want me to leave?"

She nodded and shook her head, lowering her voice and said, "Of course I'm happy that you're willing to stay, but... so many people know your life experience, and they also know that your blood can save people. If someone else is in danger, will they continue to target you and do something bad to you?

Should we not come to the capital? No, no, it's too dangerous. If anyone encounters any danger again, they will immediately arrest you.

Your safety is the most important thing. I will not go to the embroidery building. Let's pack up and run away tonight. Let's go back to Jiangjia Village. No one knows your identity there. It's safe."

She said as she was about to pack her things.

Seventeen quickly grabbed her and stopped her.

Jiang Wan prepared a simple breakfast. She cooked porridge, boiled two eggs, and simply heated up a few leftover buns she bought on the street yesterday.

"No hurry. If we leave now, they may not let us go." Seventeen put the peeled eggs in her bowl and spoke ill of those people without blushing or beating her heart. "They treat human life as worthless and can do anything. If we go back, we might even bring trouble to Grandma Jiang, Uncle Da and Uncle Er."

Jiang Wan knew this. She rested her chin on her hands and stared at him with sparkling eyes, making him feel embarrassed.

Seventeen lowered her eyes to look at herself and asked unnaturally, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Jiang Wan shook her head: "I just feel that you have changed a lot since you regained your memory. I feel a little strange."

His heartstrings suddenly tightened, "Don't you like me now?"

"You are you. No matter what you become, you are still Seventeen." She lowered her eyelids and blushed as she whispered, "It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a fish, smart or stupid. As long as you are Seventeen, the Seventeen I know, the Seventeen who will cry for me, that's enough."

Seventeen's ears warmed, "I will always be the Seventeen you know."

Jiang Wan was unable to go to work today.

Just as the meal was finishing, the gate of the yard was forcefully pushed open and a group of people walked into the yard in a mighty procession.

A man in a black robe and a royal blue cloak stood in the first place. He raised his hand and the guards he brought started to guard the courtyard.

The man with tough features didn't look too well, and he gave off a distant vibe.

Jiang Wan and Seventeen interlocked their fingers and looked at the person coming with vigilant eyes.

His eyebrows and eyes are three times similar to Qi Ze's.

The identity of the visitor is self-evident.

"Excuse me. I'm Qi Ze's elder brother. I came here today because I want to ask you something important." Qi Heng greeted them politely, and then asked, "Would it be convenient for me to come in and talk for a few words?"

He asked this without giving them a chance to refuse.

He walked into the room.

He looked around calmly, searching for something.

Those traces from last night had long been smoothed out by Seventeen, and he could not see anything unusual even if he looked again.

Qi Heng retracted his gaze and stared at the two people with an all-seeing eye. "I heard that this Mr. Ci Yu and my brother Qi Ze are old acquaintances. Did Qi Ze come here yesterday?"

Jiang Wan nodded, looking at him with confusion at first, and then turned into shock in the next second, and said excitedly: "Qi Ze, are you Qi Ze's brother Qi Heng?"

Seeing her like this, Qi Heng asked in confusion: "Do you recognize me?"

Jiang Wan shook her head: "It's really you! Miss Sui Sui brought them here yesterday, and while they were talking, I seemed to vaguely hear them mention something about the General's Mansion... It turns out that you are really the legendary General Qi Heng who is invincible and has conquered every battle."

"General Qi's reputation is well known throughout the Great Zhou. Many people praise him when he is mentioned." Jiang Wan shook her head, her tone full of joy. "I never thought that one day I would be able to see the general in person. If I told others this, they would definitely not believe me."

Her tone was sincere and the joy in her eyes could not be faked.

The people next to the girl looked unhappy, as if they were jealous of what was said.

None of them felt nervous or guilty when they heard Qi Ze's name.

Could it be that Qi Ze’s disappearance has nothing to do with them?

Qi Ze had just seen them yesterday and disappeared in the evening. Combined with some of the things he knew, it was hard not to associate Qi Ze’s disappearance with them.

Jiang Wan seemed to realize belatedly that the high-ranking general had come to see them for some important matter.

She grasped Seventeen's sleeves tightly and asked Qi Heng carefully, "May I ask why you are here, General? We are new to the capital, so we are very cautious. Working as a needlework girl in the embroidery building is a serious job. We have a lease for the rented house. We haven't done anything illegal, right?"

"Don't be nervous, I just know that you are friends with my brother, and I want to ask what he said when he came here yesterday? Has he come back since he left?"

Jiang Wan shook her head like a rattle.

"Master Qi is Miss Sui Sui's friend. After he came yesterday, he kept talking to Master Lu Xiuming and Sui Sui. We talked to the two of them, but they didn't pay much attention to us, so I didn't dare to say anything more.

Did we say something wrong yesterday? If so, please forgive us and don’t argue with us.”
