Chapter 129: Chapter 129: One Hundred Thousand per Centimeter!
The boy suddenly got excited; he quickly scooted over and sat down, saying somewhat sheepishly, “You’re amazing, Bai. You knew exactly what I came for! Hello, I’m Cao Yushu, a student from the senior year, class eight.”
Qi Yue didn’t even have to think before proudly saying, “Of course, do you even know who this is? She’s my goddess!”
Bai Chuwei smiled and rested her chin on her hand.
Even though the boy in front of her couldn’t be considered a top-tier handsome guy, he still had a refinely attractive face. She had sneaked a glance earlier and didn’t notice any sickness in his body, except for his height.
Out of curiosity, Qi Yue asked, “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how tall are you, exactly?”
Cao Yushu’s face turned beet red, and he said in a very soft, embarrassed voice, “I’m wearing height-increasing insoles… I… I’m 165cm barefoot.”
At those words, Qi Yue gasped in surprise; she herself was 162cm! The goddess was even taller, at 170cm.
Bai Chuwei smiled at Cao Yushu and said, “Height is largely determined by genetics. Your parents probably aren’t very tall, are they?”
Cao Yushu felt his heart sinking upon hearing that.
Being able to attend Henghua First Middle School meant his family was well off, and he also had a good appearance and above-average grades.
But having lived for eighteen years, he had never received a love letter or confession from a girl. Just last week, he was publicly ridiculed by a girl in his class, calling him a shorty.
Short girls can wear high heels, but what about them men?
There’s a saying that a man at 170cm is second-class handicapped, and below that, he is a dwarf.
Look at Duan Xingye and Xu Xingchen. Aren’t they all around 180cm, attracting screams and surrounded by girls wherever they go?
Oh, of course, Xu Xingchen didn’t come to school today, so let’s not mention him.
Cao Yushu had tried various bone growth supplements in private, drank milk every day, and even consulted doctors, all to no avail. For original chapters go to novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Even his parents felt guilty about his height due to the unfortunate genetics.
Having heard that Bai Chuwei could even cure nearsightedness, Cao Yushu approached her with a ‘try even if it’s a lost cause’ mentality and managed to snatch an appointment.
But what Bai Chuwei said felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
Cao Yushu gave a wry smile, stood up, and said, “I understand, Bai. There’s no use forcing genetic issues. I’ll just let nature take its course from now on.”
As Cao Yushu was about to walk away, Bai Chuwei suddenly called out to him, “Cao, your consultation fee.”
Cao Yushu paused, then turned back with a smile, “Are you referring to the consultation fee, Bai? It’s fine, you keep it. But I hope you and junior Qi Yue will keep this a secret for me.”
If those girls in his class found out he went to Bai Chuwei about his height, the rumors would make a big fuss again, becoming the laughingstock of the class.
Bai Chuwei, propping up her chin, glanced at Qi Yue and said indifferently, “Qi Yue, since he doesn’t want treatment, give him back his two thousand consultation fee. I don’t want his money.”
The little garden suddenly fell silent; all that could be heard was the sound of the wind…
A minute later, Cao Yushu suddenly rushed back, his eyes ablaze, “Bai, did you… did you say you could help me grow taller?”
The real business had finally arrived!
Bai Chuwei smiled slightly, her smile innocently harmless, “It depends on how much taller you want to be.”
Cao Yushu was almost crazy with excitement, “Me? Of course, I want to be over 180cm… ah, 170cm is also good.”
Seeing the gleam in Bai Chuwei’s eyes, Qi Yue immediately understood and held up an index finger, declaring, “Ten thousand per centimeter!”
Two million for twenty centimeters, given that the Cao Family owns a star-rated restaurant, they’re loaded!
Before Cao Yushu could say anything, Bai Chuwei righteously chided Qi Yue, “Is that how you take people’s money? As a healer, you must have a conscience!”
Did she think everyone was like Duan Feihan whom she could easily deceive out of three hundred million?
“If you want over 180cm, give me two hundred years of wild Spiritual Medicine, and for 170cm, seventy or eighty years will do.”
Goddess, isn’t that way more extortionate?
