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

[Ding——Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. 】

[The host is really amazing. ]

The system's joyful voice came.

When Jiang Wan heard the system's flattery, she just hummed in her heart and had no intention of talking to it.

too tired.

No energy.

The system had just stayed in the small dark room for a while, and it knew that the host must be tired at this moment.

Forget it. As a mature, sensible and steady son, I'd better not disturb the host's rest.

Seventeen's eyes were fixed on her legs.

They are now on the same page.

I don’t know if she is willing to go back to the sea with me.

He could make her like himself.

Then they can be together for a long time.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to, I can live with her on the shore.

As long as she is here, everything will be fine.

Some of his tribesmen may not have found the one who truly loved them, and some may have had the opportunity to go back, but like him, they are willing to stay with the one they love.

He moved his fish tail.

When will my tail turn into legs?

Seventeen kissed her cheek and rubbed her head affectionately against his neck.

Jiang Wan didn't even open her eyes and muttered, "Stop making trouble." He obediently stopped moving.

When the first rays of dawn shone into the room, the man who had not slept all night saw that his tail had turned into legs.

Seventeen turned over excitedly, burying his furry head in the crook of her neck, trying to make his presence felt. His slightly cold body gradually became hot. Jiang Wan didn't even open her eyes, and tried to push the people around her away while retreating.

When she almost fell off the bed, strong arms grabbed her waist and brought her onto him.

"Seventeen!" She opened her eyes slightly and puffed up her face in anger.

Seventeen smiled flatteringly, "My tail has turned into legs."

She perked up a bit.

After confirming that what he said was correct, Jiang Wan patted his head soothingly and said perfunctorily, "Well, that's great, beautiful mermaid. I'm hungry. Could you please help me make breakfast?"

She was afraid that she would lose control again in the morning and order people away.

With no one restraining her anymore, Jiang Wan sprawled out on the bed, sighing with contentment.

Hopefully this dear mermaid won't become more and more clingy to her.

He chattered non-stop while having breakfast.

He said he could take her to see the magnificent treasures on the seabed and to find the secrets of the seabed, where there were strange-shaped rocks and beautiful and diverse corals...

"In short, there are so many fun and beautiful things." He asked casually, "Do you want to go? If you are willing to go, let's go and see it together."

Jiang Wan put down her chopsticks: "But, I am a human."

Seventeen whispered, "With me here, I can make you as free as you are on the shore."

Jiang Wan supported her chin and said, "What if I say I don't want to go?"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." His tone didn't change. "You humans have mountains and rivers, and exotic scenery. There are many scenery we haven't seen waiting for us to appreciate. Even if I don't go anywhere, I will be satisfied to guard this small courtyard forever."

This guy has a sweet mouth.

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and glanced at her palm.

Sometimes, when you gain something, you lose something else.

What would it cost to allow myself to live under the sea like him?

Even if the curse on him is lifted, can he really live on the shore like an ordinary person?

She doesn't have many memories of the past, but she still remembers that she once helped a little ghost transform into an ordinary human, and the price she paid was part of her life.

"I want to see the sea you mentioned, Seventeen. Let's go together."

……

Qi Heng is here again.

No one else was brought this time.

A man with a serious expression came to Jiang Wan and their yard.

"Sui Sui is missing. The servants in her yard said she went on a long trip and wouldn't be back for a while. But I asked a few people privately, and they all said they hadn't seen Sui Sui come home since the Lantern Festival. She said she wanted to go to the Lantern Festival with you guys that day. Did you hear where she said she was going?"

Jiang Wan shook her head, denying his words, "It wasn't us who went to the Lantern Festival with her. At that time, you, Master Qi Ze, wanted to go with her, but Miss Sui Sui refused. The last person to see her was not us, but your brother Qi Ze. Did you ask your brother?"

Qi Heng shook his head.

"They seemed to have had some unpleasantness at the time. I think you should follow your brother's trail and look for Miss Suisui."

Of course he knows this.

He kept an eye on Qi Ze for two days.

Nothing was found.

Ever since Qi Ze was kidnapped and brought back last time, his personality has changed drastically and brothels have become places he frequents.

During the two days when Shi Suisui lost contact, he often went to those red-light districts.

His spies told him that Qi Ze just thought that Qi Heng didn't know about Sui Sui's disappearance.

His wife has been ill and bedridden these two days.

Perhaps the news that he and Shi Suisui were attending the lantern festival together reached his parents, and they have been criticizing him with words these past two days. He just admired Shi Suisui and had never thought of taking a concubine. In order to comfort his wife, he stayed by her bedside these two days, and that's why he neglected Shi Suisui's affairs.

If I had sent her back that day, this wouldn't have happened.

Maybe I was too concerned and too trusting of Qi Ze, so I overlooked something?

After Qi Heng figured it out, he clasped his fists towards them and saluted, "If you have any news about Sui Sui, please go to the general's mansion and let me know. I will be very grateful."

Jiang Wan nodded: "Don't worry, General. If I see Sui Sui, I will tell you immediately."

Before Qi Heng left, Jiang Wan still whispered a reminder, "I hope the general will pay more attention to Young Master Qi. Of course, I also hope that I am overthinking it."

Qi Heng looked thoughtful, thanked again and strode away.

After returning home, Qi Heng went to find Qi Ze first.

Qi Ze sat drunkenly on the couch with a wine jug in his hand. Hearing Qi Heng's question, he sneered, "Sister-in-law, do you know that big brother cares so much about Sui Sui? Big brother, do you still remember that you are married? Big brother has known for a long time that I like Sui Sui and only want to marry Sui Sui in this life. Why did you steal my love and come between us?"

Qi Heng looked at his drunken appearance, frowned and said, "She doesn't like you."

The wine jug fell to the ground.

"She doesn't like me, does that mean she likes you?! What qualifications do you have to say these things to me?"

Qi Heng didn't want to argue with a drunkard, "Let's talk about this when you sober up. I just want to ask you, do you know where she is? Is her disappearance related to you?"

"Missing? Didn't her maid say that she went on a long journey? I think she must be trying to avoid big brother. She doesn't want to see big brother, nor does she want to see me."

Qi Ze burped.

"She doesn't want to see you, nor does she want to see me. She doesn't want to see anyone, and she doesn't like anyone. She only loves herself."

"Why...why doesn't she like me? For so many years, I have been chasing after her. There have been so many rumors in the capital, saying that I was bewitched by a merchant girl. Have I ever cared? Why? Why has she never had me in her eyes?"

Qi Heng really wasn't in the mood to listen to him acting crazy while drunk.

He finally realized that something was wrong.

If Qi Ze didn't know the situation, he wouldn't be so calm when he heard that Sui Sui might be missing.

He took a deep look at the person on the couch, then turned and left the room filled with the smell of alcohol.

As soon as Qi Heng walked out of the courtyard, he saw his wife being supported by a maid.

Zhou Luoyi was as weak as a willow leaning against the wind, and said weakly, "Husband, can you please stop looking for me?"
