The little Omega vanished like a swift flight, leaving behind only a small rubber mat. MM, bewildered, bent down and picked it up, finding this scene surprisingly familiar...
MM's heart moved slightly, and she took the rubber pad in her hand and squeezed it again and again, and then found that it was a height-increasing insole.
That weird sense of déjà vu is even stronger?...A real-life Cinderella?
MMdou thinks he is a very romantic person, which is confirmed by his ex-girlfriend's evaluation, so he feels that he should return the height-increasing insole to Xia Tong.
Besides, if both feet are padded with insoles, and one foot suddenly loses one, wouldn't that make it look like I have one leg longer than the other? Even if I don't fall, it's still uncomfortable to walk!
So MM Dou became more determined to find Xia Tong and return the height-increasing insole.
On the other side, Xia Tong was running for her life as if her butt was on fire. As she ran, she felt as if her two legs were of different lengths. She stumbled several times and almost fell down.
The result? As soon as he ran out of the venue, he was caught by He Youjin.
"My little ancestor, where have you been?! I've been looking for you for so long!" He Youjin said anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up, come on stage!"
Xia Tong was stunned: "Huh?"
He Youjin: "Didn't we agree to film a personal VCR?! Did you forget?! Hurry up! The camera crew is waiting there! Don't be late or you'll offend them!"
Xia Tong: "Ah, but——"
He is still in the state of long and short legs!!
He Youjin, completely clueless about his current situation, kept pushing him, saying, "What's the big deal?! You look rosy-cheeked and your hair is looking great! Go!"
Xia Tong had no choice but to be forced by He Youjin to go on stage and be stuffed into a studio in a nearby venue.
At that moment, in the studio, Lin Mingfei, Shi Yiya, and Bo Yu had already completed their photoshoot with great skill and discipline. The overweight Zhou Yanjun, on the other hand, was being taught step by step by the photographer. After a long while, he finally managed to hide his big belly and double chin. He was almost done with his task. When Xia Tong arrived, a female assistant was passing by with something. When she saw him, she couldn't help but stop and said with a grin, "Hey, Blink, you don't seem as short as the rumors say! You're even cuter in person than in the photos!"
Once he got the affirmation about his height, Xia Tong was like being injected with chicken blood. He instantly became energetic and felt that everything he had paid was worth it. So he straightened his chest and smiled: "Of course! I am very powerful--" Before he could finish his words, his foot, which was missing an insole, was tripped by the door sill.
"Hey, be careful!" The young lady was amused by him and laughed. She held his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, Blink is here!"
"Oh! Perfect!" The man carrying the large camera got up from the ground and directed his assistant, "Go move that footstool over there so Blink can step on it so it's easier to align with the game logo behind him. Otherwise, he might not be able to fit into the camera due to his height—"
The young lady said, "Brother Zhao, I don't think Blink is necessary!"
Xia Tong nodded vigorously and argued: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't need it! My height is fine! If you don't believe me, just look!"
He ran over with a few jumps and stood straight in front of the official display board.
Brother Zhao raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Huh?" He gestured twice with his hands flat on their sides, shocked. "How did you suddenly—were you standing on tiptoe? Aren't you tired after standing on tiptoe for so long? Stop standing on tiptoe. We've prepared a footstool for you."
"I didn't stand on tiptoe. I'm very tall!" Xia Tong said with her cheeks puffed out.
Brother Zhao blinked, handed the camera to the assistant next to him, and raised his hand to touch his chin.
"Wow," he said thoughtfully, "I'm not bad. People online even said you were a hobbit. It seems most of that was exaggerated."
"Of course not!" Xia Tong said proudly.
An assistant next to Brother Zhao whispered, "But I clearly remember that during the last group qualifiers, BLink's head only reached Zero's chest..."
"Then I'm not allowed to grow taller!" Xia Tong put her hands on her hips and defended herself seriously, "I'm still young! I'll grow taller! I'll definitely be taller than Zero in the end!"
"Ah... then your ambition is quite grand." Everyone around him was amused by his straightforward and honest appearance.
Lin Mingfei also sat next to him, smiling but not saying a word.
The filming began just like that. Every now and then, someone would tease Xia Tong, asking how he had grown so tall so quickly. The little Omega was clearly a bit excited, and confidently explained to them, "It's very simple! Just drink more milk and exercise more! You'll grow taller!"
This little guy probably has a charm that attracts people everywhere he goes. Shi Ya, who was holding a cup of coffee, nudged Lin Mingfei with her elbow and said, "Hey, this smells like a pyramid scheme. He's bragging like this... isn't he afraid of backlash?"
"What's going on? It's unlikely someone would come out and personally pull the insoles out of his feet." Lin Mingfei looked down at her phone with indifference, "Who would be so bored?"
Shi Yiya thought about it and agreed: "That's true."
Just then, someone called out from the studio entrance, "Hey! Brother Zhao, the Dharma King from the Shadow Team is looking for someone! He's at the door! Can you come in?"
Many people here are insiders, and they are familiar with some of the nicknames in the circle. The King of Magic of the Shadow Team naturally refers to the strongest wizard MM Dou in the national server.
Brother Zhao said, "Of course you can. Come in, come in. It's their turn soon, so we don't have to call anyone."
MMdou smiled at the people around her, said "thank you" and walked sideways into the studio.
He asked around outside for a while before finding out that Xia Tong was filming a VCR in the studio, so he rushed over without stopping.
When he walked into the studio, he met Lin Mingfei in the rest area.
"Hi, Zero." said MMdou.
"Hello, Your Majesty." Lin Mingfei smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?"
"Oh, I'm looking for BLink." MMdou said. He vaguely remembered how Lin Mingfei doted on Xia Tong in the pub before, protecting her to the core. So he took the initiative to say hello: "Do you mind?"
Lin Mingfei narrowed her eyes.
Don't mind? Of course I do. Okay?
A certain enemy radar installed above his head suddenly turned on, beeping and sirens blaring.
But he said nonchalantly: "Just kidding, I don't mind...why are you looking for him?"
"Oh." MM Dou raised the rubber insole in her hand and shook it in front of Lin Mingfei: "He dropped this on the way. I brought it to him because I was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to walk."
Lin Mingfei stretched her neck and saw clearly what he was holding in his hand. Her forehead twitched and her expression gradually became shocked.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the little Omega who was standing in front of the camera like a peacock. If you didn't look carefully, no one could see that Xia Tong's left heel was slightly on tiptoe, in a delicate suspended state, but the little Omega was enjoying the scenery and didn't feel tired at all.
Lin Mingfei was distracted for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses. He hummed thoughtfully, then thought of a plan. He said calmly, "Then just go and return it to him."
MMdou didn't have any doubt about the change in attitude of this dog Alpha. She thanked him sincerely and turned to walk towards Xia Tong.
Shi Yiya had just returned from refilling his coffee when he saw MM Dou walk straight towards Xia Tong without any hindrance. Puzzled, he moved closer to Lin Mingfei and patted his old friend on the shoulder. "Hey, I didn't expect you to change your ways today? You're so magnanimous!"
"Heh." Lin Mingfei snorted lightly, her eyes almost rolling up to her head, and her tone was contemptuous: "You are wrong, I am still me, I have never changed."
Shi Ya was still bewildered when she heard MMdou brazenly show Xia Tong his rubber insole, which had been burdened with so much guilt, in front of everyone. He then asked the little Omega, whose pupils were trembling, "Is this your height-increasing insole?"
Xia Tong: “…”
Shi Ya couldn't bear to look at it, so she covered her face and said, "If I were him, I would say, 'No, it's your height-increasing insoles.'"
MMdou looked determined to do good deeds to the end. Worried that Xia Tong wouldn't recognize her, she added her rationale: "I saw it fall out of your shoe with my own eyes. You must have more than one pad. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to walk without one? What if you're lame?"
His concern was so genuine, he was definitely a warm-hearted man. However, everyone present was caught up in Blink's massive social demise, covering their mouths with their hands, trying not to laugh so loudly.
MMdou didn't know what was wrong with the people around her, but there was an indescribable awkwardness lingering in the silence. The little Omega's face turned red, like a ripe persimmon.
The assistant was almost getting a stitch in her side from trying to contain her laughter. She quietly brought out the footstool that had been sitting unused in the corner, moved it to Xia Tong's feet, and said lovingly, "Blink baby, this one is less uncomfortable for your feet."
Xia Tong: “…”
If the little Omega could curse, MMdou would probably have been scolded to death by now.
Unfortunately he can't.
So after a long while, he raised his finger and pointed at MM bean with a wronged and depressed look, "You, you go away, I don't want to see you anymore QAQ."
