on Monday
Huo Cifeng walked into the classroom under everyone's gaze. Because his classmates observed him like a monkey every day, a large number of them quickly noticed that Huo Cifeng was unusual today.
But no one dared to ask.
When Lu Qingyan saw Huo Cifeng's face, she couldn't help but blush instantly.
Huo Cifeng asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingyan silently pinched her leg, trying to prove that this wasn't real, that it must be a dream.
His voice was barely audible as he murmured, "Wind, have you grown taller... your trouser legs can't even cover your ankles anymore."
Huo Cifeng looked down at his feet, and sure enough, when he sat down, his trouser legs reached all the way up to his calves.
He couldn't believe it was true.
No wonder my legs have been so sore these past few days... I never thought it was growing pains.
He rubbed his knees; they still hurt a bit. The last time he measured his height, it was 178 cm. He didn't know how much he was now, and he had a feeling... he could still grow taller.
It was somewhat unbelievable, a pleasant surprise, since Lu Qingyan always had his arm around his shoulder. Because of his height and his reserved nature, he couldn't do it mentally or physically.
"Wind, can you not be so obvious about your happiness? I thought your height was fixed, but I didn't expect you to be as tall as me now. I'm 183cm... I thought that was enough."
Lu Qingyan felt increasingly distressed. His crush was already a sophomore and taller than him, while he was a complete virgin. What if he couldn't win her over and ended up being the one being pursued?! He didn't want that!
I should have been celebrating my growth with Huo Cifeng, but this feeling of being stuck in the middle is really painful and torturous.
Although she didn't know what heartbreak felt like, Lu Qingyan was already vaguely sensing it.
Huo Cifeng chuckled lightly, "Isn't it good?"
How could Lu Qingyan say no? He forced a smile and congratulated him, "Congratulations..."
Just then...
Teacher Zhu walked in from outside, her leather shoes making a particularly loud thud. During the break, the slightly noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
Teacher Zhu placed the book on the podium, spread her arms, placed her palms on the podium, and looked at the students below with a serious expression.
He got straight to the point. "I believe you all remember that there was a student in our class who audited the class named Zhang Ze. Just yesterday, Zhang Ze fell ill due to special circumstances."
As classmates, we should uphold humanitarian concern. Therefore, the teacher has decided to send two volunteers to visit Zhang Ze in the hospital. Are there any classmates who would like to volunteer?
After Teacher Zhu finished speaking, the classroom fell silent.
A cold wind blew in from the doors and windows, and it wasn't just the air that was cold.
Teacher Zhu sighed, knowing that half the reason the students dared not go was due to Zhang Ze himself.
But there's not a single person there. Isn't that disheartening?
"The teacher will ask again. If no one answers, then we'll draw lots."
No one in the class objected; they all held onto a sliver of hope and were eagerly anticipating who the unlucky one would be.
At this moment, Li Xiaowen, with her short black ponytail and round black-rimmed glasses, mustered her courage and shakily raised her hand, "I'll go."
Because many people in the class have been unwittingly isolating Zhang Ze, which can be seen from their eyes on ordinary days.
Rather than being afraid to talk to Zhang Ze, many people were jealous that Zhang Ze could do whatever he wanted and openly like Huo Cifeng.
Teacher Zhu felt a sense of relief when she saw that someone was finally willing to go.
"Okay, Li Xiaowen counts, the rest will be decided by drawing lots."
No one said anything, and the preparations were completed quickly.
After they finished drawing lots on the stage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, now we'll announce the lottery results. The newest member joining the volunteer team is: Huo Cifeng!"
When Huo Cifeng drew his card, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Fortunately, he has grown taller and should be about the same height as Zhang Ze now.
With his increased height and strength, Huo Cifeng regained a bit of confidence. Moreover, the sick Zhang Ze was not a threat, so he did not object.
Lu Qingyan looked unhappy, as wilted as a sapling.
"What's wrong?" Huo Cifeng asked.
" Zhang Ze is really lucky to have drawn you. You're probably the person he most wants to see. I can't even imagine how happy he'll be."
Lu Qingyan recalled that Zhang Ze was the one who was beaten by him, but he always felt that Zhang Ze's eyes revealed indifference, as if he was just an ignorant child.
After that incident, Zhang Ze neither reported it to the teacher nor did anything else. He knew that Zhang Ze had taken Huo Cifeng's words to heart.
Lu Qingyan would rather Zhang Ze not listen, because in comparison, it would greatly highlight his naivety and brainlessness in front of Huo Cifeng.
The weather remains very humid; you can feel the moisture in the air you breathe.
Li Xiaowen got into Huo Cifeng 'Huo Cifeng car and could see his bright, moon-like face up close. She carefully looked away.
Now I know why so many people are chasing after them.
Huo Cifeng is not only handsome, but also possesses a kind of aesthetic beauty, like a pure and flawless moon in the sky.
The only drawback is. " Schoolmate Huo, your clothes... seem to fit very poorly."
Huo Cifeng: "Yeah, we're already buying new ones, but we haven't replaced them yet."
Li Xiaowen secretly admired the approachable nature of this male god.
"Oh, right, we haven't bought a fruit basket yet."
Huo Cifeng: "Don't worry, I've already instructed someone to buy them."
Li Xiaowen felt her face flush when she heard his voice. Was this the charm of a handsome man?
She finally understood why her classmates had looked at her with such hostility when she came out. After all, she had the opportunity to be close to Huo Cifeng; wouldn't the others be envious?
She smiled and said, " Schoolmate Huo, may I ask what your impression of Zhang Ze is? Haha, of course, it's fine if you don't want to say, I'm just asking casually."
Huo Cifeng thought about it seriously for a moment, "So-so."
Judging from Huo Cifeng's expression, Li Xiaowen indeed seemed completely unconcerned.
This was the first time she had spoken to the student in front of her, and it was already unexpected that Huo Cifeng could answer so many of her questions.
Arriving at the hospital, I found a ward.
Huo Cifeng knocked on the door but heard no one, so he simply pushed the door open. What came into view was an empty bed, with the blankets on the bed looking like they had been pulled off, half of them lying on the floor.
