After measuring, Su Xiaocai tugged at her hair and glanced at the mirror, "The mirror says Iâve grown eight centimeters, a full eight centimeters. Why does it seem like my height hasnât changed at all in front of you?"
"Is it possible that I grew taller too?" During the gradual gene repair process, Ji Li also grew a little taller, about three centimeters.
Gasped in disbelief, "You guys are already tall enough, whatâs wrong with sharing some with me? How old are you, and youâre still growing?"
Su Xiaocaiâs expression of utter despair was so vivid that Ji Li couldnât help but pinch her, realizing his past self was quite melodramatic, knowing only "stubborn" in his heart, and forced his affection into the friendship category.
But yeah, sheâs so young. If she didnât categorize her liking as friendship, sheâd just have to admit sheâs a weirdo.
He teased her, "Will you stop at this height and have it all explode at once?"
Su Xiaocai pointed at him, "Donât jinx it."
"Letâs first check your health status." Growing that much all at once, the heart might have issues.
Ji Li checked her pulse, listened to her heart and lungs, then drew a tube of blood for testing.
After a series of tests, surprisingly, she was even healthier than expected, completely recovered.
Unable to fully recover on Blue Star, but back on Capital Star, sheâs full of life, not scientifically plausible.
Anyone unaware would think Capital Star has miraculous effects.
"Must be because Blue Starâs vegetable plots were ruined, not favorable for me."
Ji Li showed a sympathetic smile, "Youâre right."
Then continued, "Since youâre back, are you going to school?"
"Yes, I am. Youâre not the school doctor anymore, right?" Ji Li resigned from school after Ji Heng joined the military, working part-time for Su Xiaocai while returning home to inherit the family business.
Actually, it wasnât really inheriting the family business; it was because Mr. Ji wanted to find Jiâs mother, who was having so much fun on Suâs Planet that she forgot to return. Thinking heâs a reliable husband, Mr. Ji needed to check on his wife to see if her mental state was really better.
But the clingy Mr. Ji didnât return, and if Daddy Su hadnât forbidden Ji Company from settling on Suâs Planet, Mr. Ji might have moved the office there.
"Yeah, it will be busy for some time." Ji Li tilted his head and advised, "Donât mess with the young boys when you go back to school."
"What? I didnât hear that." Su Xiaocai pretended not to understand, her ears turning a little red, inwardly scoffing at herself for still getting shy at this age.
Ji Li smiled knowingly, "You know it well." His big hand covered the top of her head. It seemed like a casual gesture, but her neck turned red with warmth.
Su Xiaocai, sharp-eyed, noticed the handsome guy taking the bait, feeling delighted, thinking that after graduation, having a regular romance would be quite nice, a different life experience.
As for whether theyâd break up, Su Xiaocai had thought about it, already running through the scenario in her mind, concluding, who cares?
Sheâs lived so long, and after finally fancying someone, why not date when the time is right?
Xiao Wanzi, with Ah Bao on her head, hugged Huahua, watching two childish individuals.
The two cats yawned simultaneously, whatâs there to see, itâs better to eat.
"Are you two still domineering CEOs?"
Xiao Wanziâs cute voice snapped the slightly love-struck young pair back to reality.
Su Xiaocai slapped Ji Liâs hand away, "Your hand just touched alcohol, right? Will my hair fall out?"
Ji Li wasnât one for overly sweet comments; he opened his mouth and could infuriate someone, "How long has it been since you washed your hair? It seems a bit greasy."
"How could the goddessâs hair be greasy?" Su Xiaocai warned him not to say anything so aggravating.
The two energetic young ones were not fit to live together any longer. Ji Li moved out of the research institute that afternoon and would live near Bamboo Garden from then on.
As for developing a romantic relationship, theyâd consider it in a few months.
They were busy with their own matters.
That day, Su Xiaocai received some badges and duplicate appointment certificates from Admiral Bai and sent them home.
Daddy Su was stunned for a while upon receiving the badges, and when he saw the honorary admiral copies, he was so shocked he shivered.
Can this kind of thing be made so casually?
This troublesome girl, what did she do?
Is an honorary admiral so easy to obtain? No matter how amazing you are, it shouldnât be so, definitely shouldnât be.
The main concern was whether she had been involved in any secret missions.
He immediately contacted Su Xiaocai and asked her, "Is this certificate real or fake?"
He could believe that Su Xiaocai managed to grab some badges, but a seventeen-year-old honorary admiral, that seemed so fake.
"Dad, didnât you see my heroic demeanor at the time?"
"I did, but everyone said it was special effects. I also think it was special effects." Itâs not that Daddy Su doesnât believe his own daughter; itâs just common knowledge that doesnât happen.
"Iâm angry now, send me some fruits and local specialties to eat. I want Seventh Auntâs bursting tofu, Aunt Xiaohuâs cured meat..." Ordering dishes online, Su Xiaocai showed her anger by not being polite to Daddy Su.
