Chapter 111: Grown taller?
Saturday.

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

I was sitting in a magnificent restaurant, eating intimately with the little angel... the same bowl of spicy soup?

Just as the bowl of soup was almost empty and he was arguing with the little goddess about who should drink the last mouthful of spicy soup, two tall and strong men suddenly jumped out. They were wearing the uniforms of sixth-rank lieutenants, one red and one black. They grabbed Lu Mingfei's arms and pushed him to the yamen. In the lobby sat the dark and fat Mr. Bao - or the Jin Chaoqun version.

Judge Bao shouted at Lu Mingfei, asking him whether he knew his crime or not. Lu Mingfei thought to himself, I just snatched a bowl of spicy soup from the little goddess, was it such a serious crime?
Just as he was crying out that he was wronged, he saw a woman in tattered clothes walking up to him, holding two children on her left and right.

Before Lu Mingfei could figure out what was going on, he saw the woman turning around to look at him. She looked pitiful and tearful. It was actually Liu Miaomiao.

When Lord Bao saw that Lu Mingfei refused to plead guilty, he simply waved his hand and ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to carry the guillotine with half a dragon head and half a dog head.

Just as he pressed down the terrified Lu Mingfei’s head, he heard a delicate shout from behind:
"How dare you, the current imperial consort?"

Then the phone rang.

"..."

Lu Mingfei, who had just woken up and was still a little dazed, glanced at the caller ID and answered:
"Thank you, Princess. Ah, thank you, little goddess, for saving my life."

"?"

Su Xiaoqiang on the other end of the phone was confused. He looked at the phone number and thought that he had not dialed the wrong number for the mental hospital.

"What era is it now? Are you still a princess? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for a hundred years. Lu Mingfei, did you fall into a trance after sleeping?"

I didn't sleep stupidly, but I was scared by this inexplicable dream.

Lu Mingfei thought this in his heart while replying to the other party:
"What's wrong, little angel? What's the matter that made you call me so early in the morning?"

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

"Oh, so early in the morning? You haven't just woken up yet, have you? Look at what time it is now?"

Lu Mingfei raised the phone from his ear and saw that it was eleven o'clock in the morning.

I was playing "Nobunaga's Ambition 11" last night and didn't pay attention to the time. I played until four o'clock before going to bed.

If the little goddess hadn't called and saved him from Bao Gong's dragon dog guillotine, this case of guillotine would probably have continued for several more hours.

In fact, this schedule was not so bad. When Lu Mingfei was in Kassel College, he would play computer games and drink wine with Finkel all night long, then sleep until the afternoon of the next day and make an appointment with Ling to have dinner together.

But for middle school students, especially high school students, it is indeed a bit too much to not get up before 11 o'clock.

Lu Mingfei was still thinking about what excuse he should come up with for getting up late, when he heard the little goddess' voice suddenly become nervous:

"You, you didn't stay up late studying last night, did you?"

"I have to make it clear in advance that the last time we bet was only on the first exam of the semester, and the subsequent exams do not count..."

She looked flustered, which was a cute contrast. I could even imagine the panicked expression of the little fairy on the other end of the phone.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect that the little goddess was still thinking about the bet. It seemed that they had already made up their minds during the open mind meeting yesterday.

It seems that if you really want to get over this, you still have to rely on time to slowly dilute it.

However, it is rare for the arrogant and domineering little angel to show her weakness like now.

If you don't scratch and punish the little angel when her soft spot is exposed, you don't know if you will have this opportunity next time.

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

"Student Su Xiaoqiang, you don't want others to know about the bet between you and me, right?"

"Bah, pervert, go die now!"

The little angel's voice of shame and rebuke just came from the other end of the phone, followed by a series of "beep, beep, beep" sounds.

"..."

Lu Mingfei looked at the hung up phone. He didn't expect the little angel to have such a big reaction to this joke.

He looks carefree usually, but in his previous life, he even bumped into me while playing basketball.

"By the way, the little goddess called me, what's the matter?"

Lu Mingfei tried hard to recall, and it seemed that the little goddess did not say what she wanted to do with him.

I just got out of bed, took out my slippers from under the bed and walked to the bathroom. I was halfway through brushing my teeth when the little angel called again.

Lu Mingfei answered the call with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in his mouth: "Hello?"

"Hey, pervert Lu, I'm already downstairs at your house. Is ten minutes enough for brushing your teeth and washing your face?"

"You're downstairs in my house?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. Why did the little goddess come to see him so early in the morning on a weekend?

"You're already downstairs of my house, so why don't you come up and sit for a while? It's quite hot outside." Lu Mingfei said.

"No, no need. I'll just wait downstairs. Just come down quickly and try to get yourself in shape."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiaoqiang hung up the phone with a "beep, beep, beep".

Lu Mingfei looked at the phone screen, feeling a little confused. During the second call, Su Xiaoqiang still didn't tell him what he wanted.

But since the little goddess has already come to my door, I guess the matter must be quite urgent, and I can't just sit there and wait.

After washing up hastily, Lu Mingfei looked at himself in the mirror.

The hair is a little messy.

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

After slightly wetting it with water and using a hair dryer, your hairstyle will return to its original shape.

It has been a while since I had my hair cut, so it is not as neat as before, and some of the bangs on my forehead even hang down to my eyebrows.

But in school, it is not particularly eye-catching.

This is mainly because it is 2006, when the Korean wave of heavily smoky hair is in vogue and non-mainstream styles are popular. Many people deliberately grow long and thick hair. In comparison, Lu Mingfei's hair is even considered to be relatively neat.

But Lu Mingfei himself couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.

"It just so happens that the little goddess asked me to go out, so I might as well get a haircut."

Lu Mingfei thought about it, changed into two clean and simple clothes from the closet, and hurried out the door.

……

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

The little angel's outfit today is very summery. She is not wearing a coat, but only a nearly sleeveless black top and a white long skirt. A Prada women's belt is passed through the buckles of the long skirt, fitting around the little angel's slender waist. Under the long skirt is a pair of neat little white shoes.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, rose-like lips, and slightly curled long hair that flows gracefully from both shoulders and hangs in front of the proud curve.

Seeing Lu Mingfei appear, Su Xiaoqiang raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"9 minutes and 27 seconds, pretty punctual."

The little angel nodded and began to look Lu Mingfei up and down, as if this was a homework she had to do every time she saw Lu Mingfei.

"You're just going to wear this?" The little goddess frowned, "Didn't I tell you to dress it up a bit?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at himself and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't Yikuyou an international brand?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The little goddess said, and then raised her head, looking at Lu Mingfei's face from bottom to top, and began to comment on Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei subconsciously raised his head and chest to accept the inspection.

"It's time to cut your hair and give it a good trim. I definitely don't shave my beard every day. My skin is okay, but I need to find a way to cover up the dark circles under my eyes..."

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

"Eh, really? There shouldn't be any, right?"

Lu Mingfei touched the top of his head.

"How tall are you?"

"I just measured it during the summer vacation, 178."

According to my experience in my previous life, my height would suddenly jump to 178cm in the third year of junior high school, and then would not grow any more during 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 remained the same.

I measured myself once in July, and my height was indeed 7cm at that time, so logically speaking, I should not have grown taller.

"Stand up straight and don't move." said the little angel.

"it is good."

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

"I'm 168cm barefoot and 172cm with shoes. If you're only 178cm tall, you're definitely not half a head taller than me."

The little goddess was certain, "You must have grown."

"real or fake?"

Hearing the little goddess speak so confidently, Lu Mingfei became a little unsure.

Could it be that I have really grown taller? No way?

This is equivalent to playing a game like Persona, completing the first round and then playing the second round, and then you find that not only did you bring back the stats from the first round, but the second round even retained the growth potential of the first round.

The original upper limit of the five dimensions was 5, but when you played the second round, not only were all five dimensions born at 5, but the upper limit of the five dimensions also became 10.

This is a bit outrageous.

"Stand still for now, I'll try again."

As Su Xiaoqiang was speaking, she suddenly stood on tiptoes in front of Lu Mingfei. She was already quite tall, but now she was at the same height as Lu Mingfei.

Su Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Look, when I stand on tiptoe, I'm definitely more than 180cm tall. You're almost as tall as me when we stand on tiptoe, so you've definitely grown taller!"

As the little angel spoke, her eyes fell down and met Lu Mingfei's gaze.

They were both stunned at the same time.

"..."

"..."

Originally, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were standing about 20 to 30 centimeters apart.

But because Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stood on tiptoe, the distance was suddenly shortened to within fifteen centimeters.

A rather ambiguous distance. Fluttering eyelashes, crescent-shaped eyes, blush on the face... everything on the beautiful face of the little angel was clearly visible in Lu Mingfei's eyes.

They were even so close that the hot air from their breath could gently spray onto each other's faces.

"Thump, thump..."

The strange beating in his chest caught him off guard. Su Xiaoqiang's ankles went weak and he almost lost his balance and fell into Lu Mingfei's arms.

Of course, the imagined idol drama scene did not happen. The little angel reacted immediately, tapped the ground with her heels, and took two steps back to create some distance.

Lu Mingfei also came back to his senses because of the sudden distance between them.

It was really weird. The moment his eyes met the little angel's, he felt a little suffocated in his chest.

"Okay, okay, let's end the topic of whether you have grown taller or not. Let's get going."

The little angel put her hands behind her back, turned lightly on the spot, and spoke to Lu Mingfei with her back to him.

"where to?"

"Let's go to the CBD center to buy you a suit. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Buying a suit? You didn't tell me about this."

Lu Mingfei didn't expect the story line to change so quickly, from a personal plot of the little angel to a daily plot.

"And why are you suddenly buying me a suit?"

"Are you stupid? Next Saturday is the dinner for Chenglong's movie press conference. I can't buy you a suit next week, can I? Or are you planning to wear this coder-style outfit to shake hands with Chenglong and toast with all the heroes?"

The little goddess said, turning around and waving at Lu Mingfei, her face still flushed:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Hurry up and keep up. We may not be able to finish the work in one afternoon. Let's just find a place to eat something at noon."

……

Lu Mingfei originally thought he had to take a taxi to the CBD, but he didn't expect that after he left the community gate, he would see Su Xiaoqiang's family's most expensive Audi A8 waiting for him at the gate.

Seeing the two people coming out, the driver, who had been waiting for a long time and had some gray hair on his temples, immediately bent down and opened the back door for them.

As Lu Mingfei followed Su Xiaoqiang into the back seat, he nodded and smiled as he greeted the driver: "Hello, Uncle Li."

The last time when Lu Mingfei bought study materials with Su Xiaoqiang, he had already seen this man in front of him and knew that he was Su Xiaoqiang's driver and housekeeper.

With a roar, the engine started, and the pedestrians and scenery around were instantly caught up and left behind.

Su Xiaoqiang crossed his legs and counted on his fingers as he gave Lu Mingfei the main task for this afternoon:

"First, go to those high-end suit shops to try out suits that are suitable. If not, I will take you to a private suit shop to measure your size and ask how long it will take to make a suit."

Su Xiaoqiang paused and said, "If all else fails, I'll take out a few suits that my father doesn't wear often and ask a tailor to alter them for you. This is plan C. Don't worry, I'll try my best to buy you new ones if I can..."

"Does it need to be so formal? Isn't it expensive to customize a suit? Can't I wear the ordinary one-size-fits-all ones in the suit shop?"

"What do you say?"

The little goddess rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei and said, "You are not going to play the role of someone else, but my... shield! If you wear a suit that doesn't fit you and shake hands with celebrities, it will be a loss of face for my family."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and agreed that it was indeed inappropriate to wear baggy clothes to such a solemn occasion.

In his previous life, when he served as the background for Zhao Menghua's confession, he was wearing that ill-fitting Armani suit, and he didn't think anything of it at the time.

It was not until he joined Kassel College and got used to wearing suits tailored for him by top British and Italian designers that one day when he put on that inappropriate Armani suit again, he realized how uglier the person in the mirror was.

If he were Chen Wenwen, he would not agree to the confession of the person in the mirror.

But then again, it seems like the first decent suit in my two lifetimes was bought for me by a woman.

In the previous life, she was Nuonuo, and in this life, she is Su Xiaoqiang. Both are beautiful women with both money and good looks.

Why do I suddenly feel like a gigolo?
