Chapter 167 No wonder he is short, it is because of Qingyan
Xia Yueke pulled off the blanket, pouted slightly, and pretended to be angry:
"Humph, I think you're just making excuses. Were you slacking off outside?"
Qing Yan looked at Xia Yueke's coquettish expression with his eyes wide open. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he reacted. He held Xia Yueke's shoulders with both hands and stammered:
"Yue, I'm not lazy, I... I ran really fast, here."
He pointed to his head and said with a serious expression, "This place is all you. I was afraid you'd get sick, so I rushed over immediately!"
A sly look flashed in Xia Yueke's eyes. She gently broke free from Qingyan's clumsy hand, took a small step forward, leaned forward, and her long legs under her miniskirt were faintly visible. She deliberately lowered her voice and said with a hint of charm:
"Then how are you going to prove that I'm the only one in your heart?"
Qing Yan's eyes moved straight up along her legs, as if he was under a spell. When he realized his mistake, his face instantly turned red to his ears. He scratched his head and stammered:
"I...I can do anything for Yue."
Xia Yueke laughed softly, her laughter as clear as a silver bell. She suddenly leaned close to Qingyan's ear, her warm breath brushing his earlobe, and whispered softly:
"Then close your eyes and wait for me to give you a surprise."
Qing Yan closed his eyes tightly like an obedient child, his body trembling slightly due to nervousness.
Xia Yueke quietly picked up a small object beside her, gently placed it in Qingyan's palm, and then said mysteriously:
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Qing Yan opened his eyes with great anticipation, only to find that it was just an ordinary little object. His eyes dimmed instantly, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked lost.
Xia Yueke laughed so hard that she fell backwards, holding her belly with both hands, and said jokingly:
"Look at your silly look, this is a surprise for you."
Qing Yan finally came to his senses and realized that he had been teased again. He sighed helplessly, but his eyes were always glued to Xia Yueke's smiling face, full of joy.
Xia Yueke saw Qingyan's lost and somewhat silly look, and couldn't bear it. Finally, she gave up her intention of teasing him and quickly put the blanket back on herself, wrapping herself tightly.
"Let's go, let's go. I'm so cold when we get back!"
As she spoke, she walked quickly towards the stone house where she slept.
Qian Jingyao followed silently behind, still thinking about what Xia Yueke would look like when she grew up, and felt a little dazed for a moment.
After a moment, he slapped his forehead in annoyance as if he was suddenly awakened.
"Keke, this is terrible! I didn't expect you to turn into a beast so quickly. I haven't even prepared your clothes yet. What are we going to do now? It's so cold!"
His voice was full of self-blame and anxiety.
Xia Yueke also knew very well that the clothes she wore in the past were now too small for her grown body and could no longer be worn.
She subconsciously turned her head and was about to respond to Qian Jingyao, but she inadvertently noticed the height difference between herself and Qian Jingyao.
Her gaze slowly moved upwards, from Qian Jingyao's abdomen to his chest, and she was shocked to realize that the top of her head could barely reach Qian Jingyao's chest.
Xia Yueke was full of surprise. She didn't care about the animal skin that had slipped off a little. She quickly stood still, straightened her back, and compared them carefully again.
"That's not right? I don't remember myself being this short before."
She frowned and thought to herself.
Xia Yueke clearly remembered that in her original world, her height was at least 1.68 meters, which was a height she was quite satisfied with. But now, no matter how she looked at it, she seemed to be only about 1.6 meters tall.
So where did her eight centimeters go?
After Xia Yueke discovered this serious height problem, the joy in her heart instantly shattered like bubbles, and she became depressed, and even the interest in playing pranks disappeared without a trace.
She thought with a depressed heart that Qingyan's tall stature of nearly 1.9 meters was a world of difference compared to her current height. Standing in front of him, she was like a weak and helpless chick, with no sense of existence at all.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt. Xia Yueke simply ran back to the stone house quickly, threw himself into the animal skin blanket, and wrapped himself tightly, as if this could help him escape this cruel reality. He didn't want to move at all.
At this moment, she was filled with sadness and loss, and her mind kept circling about her shorter height.
Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke's sudden movements and was suddenly at a loss. He walked gently to the bedside and squatted down, his eyes full of concern and confusion.
"Keke, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" His voice was gentle and soft, trying to soothe Xia Yueke's emotions.
Xia Yueke poked her head out from under the quilt, her eyes full of resentment.
"Yaoyao, I'm so short... How can I be so short... You guys are all so tall, even Duzi and the others are two heads taller than me!"
She had a sad face and her tone was full of dissatisfaction and disgust with her height.
When Qing Yan heard this, he hurried over, gently rubbed Xia Yueke's head with his broad hands, and said in a muffled voice:
"Yue, no matter what you look like, I like them all!"
There was unquestionable firmness in his voice, and he looked at Xia Yueke sincerely and passionately.
Because Xia Yuke was lying down, Qing Yan could only talk to her with his head down. At this moment, something hanging around his neck suddenly fell off and hit Xia Yuke right on the face.
Xia Yueke cried out in pain, reached out to pick up the thing, and found that it was actually a baby tooth.
She looked at it carefully and felt that the baby tooth looked familiar. She thought to herself that this seemed to be her baby tooth.
But she clearly remembered that she had thrown this baby tooth on the top of the fox tribe's cave a long time ago. How could it appear here in Qingyan?
When Qing Yan saw Xia Yueke holding the baby tooth, a blush appeared on her face. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and explained with a silly smile:
"Hehe, this was thrown away by Yue. I picked it up. I originally wanted to put it in the space, but then I won't be able to see it!"
There was a hint of shyness and nervousness in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Xia Yueke's response, but was afraid that she would be angry.
The touch in Xia Yueke's eyes was instantly replaced by silence. She clenched her teeth tightly, stood up from the bed, looked directly into Qingyan's eyes, and said angrily:
"Qingyan, why did you pick it up? Do you know that throwing baby teeth high up means you'll grow taller? But now I'm so short, it must be related to this!"
