Since it got dark early, the streets were practically empty, and Xue Rui started to act more freely.
Lin Ruoxi was already used to it. She liked it when Xue Rui draped himself over her shoulder as they walked.
"Let me weigh you down so you stop growing," Xue Rui sighed.
Xue Rui claimed to be 185cm tall—with shoes on, of course.
Lin Ruoxi's height without shoes was 173cm. Now that the weather had cooled, she wore platform shoes that made her noticeably taller.
Plus, Lin Ruoxi had recently grown a little more, reaching 174cm...
Xue Rui figured if this kept up, she'd be looking him straight in the eye if she ever wore high heels.
"Oh, okay. I'll stop growing then," Lin Ruoxi said obediently.
Xue Rui couldn't help but laugh. 'As if you can stop growing just because you say so.'
He thought for a moment, worried she might actually start dieting on purpose. "It's not up to you," he reminded her. "Make sure you eat properly."
"Okay," Lin Ruoxi nodded.
