After bathing and washing away the sweat and dirt, Cui Pingan changed into the clothes he had worn upon arriving at the Mo Family and miraculously discovered that the sleeves had become shorter, albeit by just a little bit.
"Auntie, look, I've grown taller, I've grown taller again." Cui Pingan, so excited he forgot to fasten his buttons, dashed out of the bathhouse and eagerly shared the good news with his aunt in a loud voice.
You see, since he turned seventeen, his height hadn't increased, and compared to his peers, he was quite a bit shorter. Now, to be growing once more—even if he couldn't surpass his peers in height, he surely wouldn't be much shorter than them anymore. This thrilled Cui Pingan, who had always been self-conscious about his stature.
"Mhmm, Xiaoqi has grown taller. Before long, you'll surpass your aunt," Auntie said.
