Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

Gary ran closer and glanced warily at Peixi next to Wan Ning: "Who is he?"

Through what happened just now, he has deeply experienced the ugliness and insidiousness of human nature, so he will be wary of humans who suddenly appear.

Wan Ning smiled and told him not to be nervous: "This is Mr. Peixi, he just helped me."

Hearing Wan Ning say this, Gerry's expression improved and he nodded to Peixi.

"I ran several routes before I got away from them, but I'm not sure if they will come back to look for me."

As soon as Gary finished speaking, Peixi made a suggestion: "My residence is nearby, why don't you stay at my place for a while."

Wan Ning and Ge Li looked at each other. She thought that perhaps Pei Xi could also help to find out the information, so the two followed Pei Xi.

Peixi's residence is in an alley. After entering, go directly to the second floor.

After leading the two to the second floor, Peixi took out the key from his pocket and opened the door: "This is where I live. There are several rooms inside. You can rest here for a while."

Gerry said bluntly: "We want to know where the ship that landed a few days ago is parked and who is the captain of it?"

When Peixi heard what Gerry said, he glanced at the blond man with black eyes, then he looked at Wan Ning: "Are you trying to find out who is on the ship?"

Wan Ning felt that if Susan and Linda were brought ashore, there was a high possibility that they would be taken away by important people or powerful people.

And Peixi was smart and pointed this out immediately.

She nodded to Percy, "Yes, we want to know who would take a very valuable treasure if it appeared on the ship."

Then Wan Ning told the specific time and sea area that the ship passed by, hoping that Peixi could find out the news as soon as possible.

Peixi stood there and thought for a moment, then said to Wan Ning and Gary, "I'm going to go out now and find someone to check it out."

"The servants at home will come to cook when it's time for dinner. You can rest in your room first, or you can stay in the living room."

As he spoke, Peixi pointed to the left, where was the guest room.

Wan Ning expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Peixi."

Peixi nodded and smiled at Wanning and Gary, then quickly went out.

After Percy left, Gary sighed, "This place is too dangerous. It's been several days since Susan and the others disappeared. I don't know what the situation is like now."

Wan Ning also shook his head: "I don't know, but we haven't heard any discussion about mermaids on the street yet, maybe it's a good thing."

"No, I'd better go out and look for it."

Gary couldn't sit still. His beloved's life or death was uncertain, so he really couldn't sit still.

Wan Ning frowned: "But is it really okay for you to dress like this? The people outside may still be looking for you."

They were being chased just now, and among them was the family whose clothes Gary stole.

And the same goes for Wan Ning's clothes, who knows if they'll be discovered by some lady.

"What should I do?"

Looking at Gary's irritable look, Wan Ning looked at the room to the right and hesitated for a moment.

"Why don't you go to a nearby store and buy a set? After you change into other clothes, maybe you won't be recognized. And on your head, you can wear a hat like Mr. Percy."

Wan Ning’s suggestion was good. Gary thought about it and went out directly.

The two men went out, and Wan Ning was waiting at home alone. She tapped the table and thought that she should change her clothes.

It turned out that the first person to come back was Peixi. After he entered the room, he looked around and found Wan Ning lying on the sofa and seemed to be asleep.

So he walked over lightly, took a blanket from the back of the sofa and covered Wan Ning with it.

Wan Ning woke up immediately. She looked up and saw Pei Xi: "Ah, you're back?"

Peixi nodded: "You are very tired, why don't you go to your room and rest for a while?"

She was indeed very tired. She had swam so far and didn't dare to take a good rest in between. Now when she got ashore, she was being chased by someone.

"Oh," Wan Ning smiled, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find me when you came back. It's okay. I'm fine now."

Wan Ning pulled down the blanket and sat down immediately: "Did you find someone?"

Peixi nodded, pulled a chair over and sat down: "I asked, he will give me news this afternoon."

"That's great, thank you for your help."

Peixi looked at Wan Ning, who had black hair and brown eyes, and smiled gently: "No need to thank me, I'm happy to do something for you, really."

Wan Ning also smiled at him: "What you are doing now is already helping me."

After finishing talking, Wan Ning was feeling that the atmosphere between them was a little awkward when there was a knock on the door.

It turned out that it was the servant who helped Peixi cook three meals a day. Peixi immediately told him that there were two guests at home today and he needed to cook more dishes.

The servants quickly went into the kitchen to get busy. Wan Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, you don't have to worry about us eating."

Peixi chuckled: "The food is not much, you can try it."

Then Peixi stood up and said, "I have something in my study, do you want to take a look?"

Wan Ning felt that it was useless to just sit there and talk, and he had no idea what to talk about, so he agreed and followed Peixi into the study.

After entering, Peixi took a book from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.

Wan Ning opened it and found some geographical knowledge and maps inside.

“Are these maps?”

Peixi nodded: "Yes, for a coastal city like ours, going out to sea is a very common thing."

Wan Ning looked at Peixi. He was wearing a black shirt with wrinkled cuffs and a special brooch on his chest.

The man had a deep face, sunken eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and a pair of big blue eyes looking at her. Those eyes were full of meaning, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Wan Ning brushed the hair beside her ear and said, "Thank you for your book. I'll take a look first."

Peixi nodded: "Okay, you can sit down and watch."

Wan Ning said "hmm" and sat down. Peixi went out directly and soon came back with something in his hand.

There was a tray on the table with two cups of black tea and some snacks.

"Would you like to try it?"

Wan Ning looked at what he brought and nodded: "I'll have a snack."

Seeing this, Peixi considerately pushed the snacks closer to Wan Ning.

After taking a bite, Wan Ning frowned. Pei Xi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Wan Ning smiled and shook her head: "No, it just feels too sweet."

When Peixi heard Wan Ning say that it was too sweet, his nervous expression relaxed. He was afraid that Wan Ning could not eat those things.

"Haha, it's okay. Next time I'll tell the maid to put less sugar in it."

Wan Ning just smiled at Peixi and said, "It doesn't matter, just try it this time."
