However, she didn't have time to pay attention to those stares. She was eating a candied hawthorn, which she had specially bought from the old man selling it at the entrance of Shilan Middle School.

The straw target, covered with candied hawthorn berries, looked like someone holding a giant spiked club. She picked the largest of these spiked clubs.

A minute later, a reply text message arrived: "OK, received."

A thought struck Jiu Demai, and she suddenly sent another text message:

"Potato Chip Girl, don't you think the shape and color of the sunset look a lot like a candied hawthorn skewer?"

Chapter 111: Grow Taller?

Saturday.

The night before, Lu Mingfei had a strange dream. He dreamt that he was in a luxurious villa, surrounded by a butler in a black suit and beautiful maids in black and white maid outfits.

Meanwhile, he sat in the magnificent restaurant, eating intimately with the little fairy... from the same bowl of spicy soup?

Just as the soup bowl was almost empty, and he and Xiaotiannu were arguing about who should drink the last sip of spicy soup, two tall and strong men suddenly jumped out, dressed in red and black sixth-rank military officer uniforms. They grabbed Lu Mingfei's arms and dragged him to the yamen. Sitting in the main hall was the dark and fat Judge Bao—the version played by Jin Chaoqun.

Bao Qingtian shouted at Lu Mingfei, "Do you know your crime?" Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "I was just trying to steal a bowl of spicy soup from Xiaotiannv. Is that such a big crime?"

Just as he was vehemently protesting his innocence, he saw a woman in tattered clothes walk up from the side, leading two children by the hand on each side.

Before Lu Mingfei could figure out what was going on, he saw the woman turn around and look at him, looking pitiful with teary eyes. It was Liu Miaomiao.

When Judge Bao saw that Lu Mingfei refused to confess, he waved his hand and ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to bring up the guillotine, which was half a dragon's head and half a dog's head.

Just as they pressed Lu Mingfei's head down in terror, they heard a sharp shout from behind:

"How dare you, the imperial son-in-law of the current emperor?"

Then my phone rang.

"..."

Still a little groggy from waking up, Lu Mingfei glanced at the caller ID and answered:

"Thank you, Princess Xie, oh wait, thank you, Little Celestial Maiden Xie, for saving my life."

"?"

Su Xiaoqiang on the other end of the phone was completely bewildered. She glanced at the phone number, wondering if she had dialed the wrong mental hospital.

"What era are we living in? Princesses? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for a hundred years. Lu Mingfei, are you out of your mind?"

I didn't fall into a coma while sleeping, but I was terrified by this bizarre dream.

Lu Mingfei thought this to himself as he replied to the other end:

"What's wrong, Little Fairy? Why are you calling so early in the morning? Is there something you need?"

Su Xiaoqiang scoffed at him on the other end of the phone:

"Heh, so early in the morning? You didn't just wake up, did you? Look at the time!"

Lu Mingfei held his phone up to his ear and saw that it was 11 a.m.

I was playing Nobunaga's Ambition 11 last night and didn't pay attention to the time. I didn't go to sleep until 4 a.m.

If it weren't for the little fairy's phone call that saved him from Judge Bao's dragon dog guillotine, this case of injustice could probably have continued for several more hours.

Actually, this schedule is not bad. When Lu Mingfei was at Kassel College, he would spend every day playing computer games and drinking red wine with Fingel, then sleep until the afternoon of the next day before asking Zero to go out for dinner.

However, for middle school students, especially high school students, not getting up by 11 o'clock is indeed a bit excessive.

Lu Mingfei was still thinking of what excuse he could come up with for waking up late when he heard Xiao Tiannv's voice suddenly become tense:

"You, you weren't staying up late studying last night, were you?"

"Let me make this clear beforehand: the bet we made last time only applies to the entrance exam; the subsequent exams don't count..."

She was flustered, which was both endearing and unexpected; you could almost picture the panicked expression on the other end of the phone.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect that the little fairy still remembered that bet. She seemed to have already made up her mind during the open mind session yesterday.

It seems that if we really want to move on from this, we'll have to let time slowly fade it away.

However, it is rare for the arrogant and domineering little celestial maiden to reveal her vulnerability like this.

If we don't take advantage of the little fairy's vulnerability now and punish her, who knows if we'll have the chance next time?

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei suddenly lowered his voice and said softly:

"Su Xiaoqiang, you don't want others to know about the bet between us, do you?"

"Pah, you pervert, just die!"

The little fairy's scolding voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by a series of "beep beep beep" sounds.

"..."

Lu Mingfei stared at the phone that had been hung up, surprised that the little fairy would react so strongly to the joke.

He usually seems carefree, but in his past life, he bumped into me while playing basketball.

"By the way, what did Little Fairy want when she called me?"

Lu Mingfei tried hard to recall, and it seemed that Xiao Tiannv hadn't said what she wanted from him.

I had just gotten out of bed, pulled out my slippers from under the bed, and shuffled to the bathroom. I was only halfway through brushing my teeth when Little Fairy called again.

With a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth, Lu Mingfei answered the call slurredly, "Hello?"

"Hey, you pervert, I'm downstairs at your place now. Ten minutes to brush your teeth and wash your face isn't enough."

"Are you downstairs at my place?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Why would the little fairy come to see him so early on a weekend morning?

"Since you're already downstairs at my place, why don't you come up and sit for a bit? It's terribly hot outside," Lu Mingfei said.

"No, no need. I'll wait downstairs. Just come down quickly and make sure you look presentable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiaoqiang immediately hung up the phone.

Lu Mingfei stared at his phone screen, somewhat confused. In the second call, Su Xiaoqiang still didn't say what she wanted to talk to him about.

However, since the little fairy has already come to my door, the matter must be quite urgent, and I can't let her wait idly down there.

After a hasty wash, Lu Mingfei looked at himself in the mirror.

My hair is still a bit messy.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had washed his hair last night. He doesn't have an oily hair, so his hair was relatively dry, just a little messy.

After slightly wetting the hair with water, use a hairdryer to style it, and the hairstyle will return to its original wispy look.

Because I haven't cut my hair for a while, it's not as neat as it used to be, and some of my bangs have even reached my eyebrows.

However, it wasn't particularly eye-catching at school.

The main reason is that it was 2006, a time when heavy-smoked Korean fashion was all the rage and alternative styles were popular. Many people would deliberately grow their hair long and thick. In comparison, Lu Mingfei's hair was actually quite neat.

However, Lu Mingfei himself couldn't bear to watch it.

"The little fairy just asked me to go out, so I'll get my hair cut while I'm at it."

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, then quickly changed into two clean and simple outfits from the closet and hurriedly went out.

……

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lu Mingfei saw Su Xiaoqiang outside the building.

The little fairy's outfit today was very summery. She didn't wear a jacket, but only a nearly sleeveless black top and a white long skirt. A Prada women's belt passed through the buttons of the long skirt and hugged her slender waist. Underneath the long skirt were a pair of neat white shoes.

Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her lips like roses, and her long, slightly curled hair fell gracefully from her shoulders, hanging down in front of her proud curves.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei appear, Su Xiaoqiang raised her hand to check her wristwatch.

"9 minutes and 27 seconds, that's pretty punctual."

The little fairy nodded and began to scan Lu Mingfei up and down again, as if this was a task she had to do every time she saw Lu Mingfei.

"You're wearing this outfit?" The little fairy frowned. "Didn't I tell you to dress up a bit better?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at himself. "What's wrong? Isn't Ekuyo an international brand?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

As the little fairy spoke, she raised her head again, looked Lu Mingfei's face up with her eyes, and began to comment on Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously straightened his head and chest, accepting the inspection.

"Your hair needs a trim and a proper shave; you definitely haven't been shaving every day; your skin is okay, but you need to figure out how to cover up your dark circles..."

As Su Xiaoqiang was talking, she suddenly frowned and asked Lu Mingfei, "Have you grown taller again?"

"Huh, really? I don't think so?"

Lu Mingfei touched the top of his head.

How tall are you again?

"I just measured myself during summer vacation, I'm 178cm."

cm, and then it won't grow any longer for the entire three years of high school.

Even after he went to Kassel College and was forced to take physical training classes every day, his height never changed.

I measured my height in July, and it was indeed 178cm, so logically speaking, I shouldn't have grown.

"Stand up straight and don't move," the little celestial maiden said.

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei stood upright, and the little fairy stood a few dozen centimeters in front of him. She first gestured with her slender hand to the top of her own head, and then slowly moved it to the top of Lu Mingfei's head and patted it.

“I’m 168cm tall barefoot and 172cm tall with shoes on. If you’re only 178cm, you definitely won’t be more than half a head taller than me.”

The little fairy was certain, "You've definitely grown."

"real or fake?"

Hearing the little fairy speak so confidently, Lu Mingfei was a little unsure.
