Chapter 104 "I'm sorry, sir, you haven't grown taller."
The next day, He Xile woke up early.
He glanced at the tentacle beside him that was motionless and obviously still asleep, then carefully stood up, sat cross-legged on the bed, logged into the Star Network, tried a few more times, and finally submitted his score of 107th place before the deadline of 8:00 a.m. for the summer season preliminaries.
"Lan Lan is so amazing! I've been in the livestream room the entire time and haven't missed a single one of Lan Lan's broadcasts. I've personally witnessed Lan Lan's rise from struggling in battle, unable to even defeat a D-rank Spirit Power opponent, to now being ranked 107th!"
"Wow, so inspiring!"
"Just a little bit, and Lanlan is in the top 100!! Although it's because of Yudui as a teacher, Lanlan is obviously very talented and studies hard every day. Great!"
"Yes, yes, we should also emulate Lan Lan and work harder!"
When He Xile saw this kind of barrage, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
This is a compliment.
It's so embarrassing.
Just as he was thinking, He Xile suddenly felt a strange touch on his waist.
The giant octopus is awake?
"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to log off and have breakfast."
He Xile said goodbye to everyone in the live broadcast room, and when he got off the Star Network, he felt a thick tentacle pressing on him, slowly rolling over and encircling his waist.
When I looked down again, I found that it had already been entangled twice.
It's not tight, but a little heavy.
He Xile was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It was strange, though. In the past, when He Xile got up at this time, he couldn't see the giant octopus. Gently patting his tentacles, He Xile asked, "It's already this late, aren't you leaving yet? Want to sleep in today?"
The tip of the tentacle raised slightly and shook as a response, and stayed on He Xile's waist for a while before slowly leaving.
He Xile got up, washed, and went out.
His Majesty happened to be there during breakfast.
As for the two kittens, I don’t know whether they didn’t come or had finished eating and went to the laboratory.
Over the past two days, He Xile had mostly been sitting next to His Majesty while eating. This time, he simply walked over. As soon as he sat down, he heard His Majesty say, "Jian will come over to measure you and make you one or two sets of clothes to wear to the banquet. If you're going to the lab, tell him in advance so he doesn't have to wait."
"Okay." He Xile said, very good at getting to the point. "Is the palace going to hold a banquet?"
Wen Jiyu: "Yeah."
He Xile's eyes lit up. This was the first banquet he had attended since arriving at the palace. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Majesty, what is the reason for this banquet? I want to prepare."
"There's nothing to prepare."
Wen Jiyu said calmly, "Just your appearance is enough to excite that group of people."
He Xile blinked.
Judging from the tone of His Majesty, he seems to have a close relationship with the "group of people" he mentioned.
He Xile was still a little curious, but realized that His Majesty didn't seem to want to mention the reason for this banquet, otherwise he would have said it directly. So he didn't ask any more questions, but instead changed the subject.
After finishing the meal and heading to the room, Guard 131 followed He Xile and explained, "Sir He Xile, you should know that yesterday was His Majesty's birthday. In the past, the king's birthday was a very important occasion in Haixinna, with the whole country celebrating. However, due to certain reasons back then... His Majesty moved the date back a bit, and only holds a simple banquet every year."
"The atmosphere of this party is also different from most birthday parties."
"When you get there, don't mention anything. Just treat it as a simple gathering. You can use it to get to know the famous people in Haixinna and have some delicious food."
He Xile suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, thank you."
"You're welcome, sir," the guard said softly, "Answering your questions is my duty as your guard."
He Xile's eyes curved.
Although the guard only gave a brief introduction, it helped He Xile a lot. Otherwise, He Xile would have been worried about making a fool of himself at the banquet for the next period of time.
——He has never attended such a formal occasion.
The two of them slowly walked back to the room, and He Xile saw Jane pacing at the door at a glance.
"Your Mightiness--"
When Jian saw He Xile from afar, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately waved, tears welling in his eyes as he said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you. You were so slow to wear out the clothes I sent you before. After all these months, you still haven't worn them all? I've been waiting for you to let me make you new clothes."
At the end, there was even a hint of resentment in Jane's tone.
He Xile coughed lightly and touched his nose.
To be honest, there were so many clothes that Jane sent him. How could he possibly wear them all? Besides... He Xile wasn't used to spending lavishly. He couldn't do things like wearing a piece of clothing once and then throwing it away. So, the number of clothes that Jane brought him was the number that He Xile still had in his wardrobe.
The difference is that some clothes I really don’t dare to wear out, while some clothes are lighter and simpler, so I wear them often.
He Xile opened the door and praised: "The clothes you make are beautiful and comfortable to wear. I can't help but want to wear them more..."
The simple-minded Jane was coaxed in an instant.
His smile widened, and he covered his mouth with his hand as he said, "Your Excellency, you really know how to compliment people... Although the purpose of my visit today is to make you a banquet suit, I would like to take a look at your wardrobe first to see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted. If you have any particular styles you like, please let me know and I can make you a few more sets."
Making clothes for Mr. He Xile is a very fulfilling thing.
Sir, you look small, but you are not only beautiful, but also have perfect body proportions. The clothes that Jane made for you before are all very suitable for you, Sir He Xile, and there is not a single piece that is ill-fitting or ugly.
Human beings are simply his muse!
"The furniture in your room is all custom-made according to your height. It's perfect." Jane said, very familiarly. She came to the cloakroom and opened the wardrobe.
A pink lace skirt instantly appeared in his sight. Because Jane's movements were too big just now, the fluttering tail almost touched the tip of his nose, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
simple:"?"
He Xile: "Wait a minute——"
He Xile then remembered that his wardrobe was not open to casual browsing. His face turned red and he quickly stepped forward to collect all the women's clothing he had received and placed them on a stool beside him.
He Xile coughed lightly and said, "They were all given to me by others."
simple:"……"
Jian looked at He Xile with a complicated look. After a long while, he said, "Don't worry, sir. I understand."
He Xile: “…”
No.
You don't understand.
He Xile's expression was numb, and he just wanted to dig a Somali trench in the ground and crawl into it. He didn't bother to explain too much, and it seemed like he was trying to cover up. He simply continued with Jane's previous topic and said, "I usually prefer to wear simpler clothes, like what I'm wearing now, and these..."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at a dozen or so fancy-looking clothes on the left side of the closet. "I personally don't particularly like this row over here. Some of them I haven't worn much."
He Xile felt that these clothes, whether in color or style, were too exaggerated and inappropriate to wear out. But there was no need to tell Jane this directly.
Jane gestured: "I understand."
After saying that, he looked at the group of women's clothes on the stool nearby.
He Xile: "...You don't need to refer to these. They were really given to me by someone else. I couldn't return them due to the size issue, so I kept them, but I've never worn them once."
A trace of regret flashed in Jian's eyes: "Okay." He said, "Sir, come here and take your physical measurements."
He Xile walked over silently.
Just like the previous measurement, He Xile stood there motionless. He looked at Jian who was busy working and couldn't help asking, "Have I grown taller?"
Jane shook her head. "I'm sorry, sir, you haven't grown any taller."
He Xile shut up immediately.
He was a little unhappy.
Damn it!
He has clearly been in Haixinna for several months and has been training recently. Logically, all aspects of his physical data should have changed, so why hasn't he grown at all?
He doesn't need more, just two centimeters, to make him 1.8 meters tall.
He Xile's ears immediately drooped.
Jane couldn't help laughing.
Humans are really easy to understand.
After measuring the data, Jian hurried away, thinking about making a banquet set for He Xile. He Xile packed up and went to the laboratory to continue the experiment. As soon as he arrived, a group of professors and teachers surrounded him, chattering.
"We tested the effects of your live broadcast yesterday, and the results were very good. Although slightly inferior to physical contact, it exceeded our expectations. We have already written the experimental report and submitted it to Your Majesty."
"Sir He Xile, you are truly astonishing!"
"Perhaps the fact that you were able to wake up in the museum before was because God had mercy on Haixinna and wanted you to appear to bring relief to all those suffering from mental illness in Haixinna."
This statement immediately received unanimous approval from everyone.
He Xile quickly made a silencing gesture: "Teachers, His Majesty doesn't like people talking about gods."
Sang Qian smiled. "Don't worry, we don't believe in gods. It's just that the Church existed for so long that traces of its presence can be found in countless cultures. Your Majesty won't punish me for occasionally saying this."
That's good.
He Xile breathed a sigh of relief.
Sang Qian: "By the way, sir, could you please send me the address of your live studio?"
He Xile: "Of course."
He used the terminal to send the address to Teacher Sang Qian and asked curiously, "I'm not live streaming right now, what do you want this for?"
Sang Qian smiled but said nothing.
After a while, He Xile's terminal suddenly rang, indicating that more than thousands of people mentioned him at the same time, and this number was still rising. In just a few seconds, it reached tens of thousands.
He Xile was startled.
He quickly clicked on the message on the terminal and found that it was Teacher Sang Qian who posted a status.
Sang Qian: This kid’s live broadcast room is very interesting, you can take a look at it [link].
The comments below have gone crazy.
"Ahhhh, it's the live broadcast room of my favorite human!"
"Oh my god, even a big shot like Professor Sang recommended Lanlan's livestream. Lanlan is awesome—"
After a while.
"Oh my god, go check it out! A lot of professors have retweeted Teacher Sang Qian's post! Every single one of them is someone Hai Xinna would be thrilled with!" "Shocked!"

Question: If I give you a chance to grow 2cm, where would you like it to grow?

Wen Jiyu: Indeed, you don’t need it anywhere else.
