"What am I stuck on? It's my dignity, TAT..."

Lin Li, Doctor: "?"

Watching Bai Bufan look despairingly up at the sky, Lin Li and the doctor laughed.

It truly was dignity.

"Sir, you're not properly dressed here, we can't serve you," Lin Li said with a smile.

"What counts as properly dressed then?" Since he had already been found out, Bai Bufan didn't care anymore. He stood casually on the machine, even wiggling his toes on purpose, responding to Lin Li with lines from "God of Gamblers."

"At least you need to have a tie hanging from the ceiling around your neck."

"But I have... Hey, don't mess up the lines like that! Is that even still a tie?" Bai Bufan's words trailed off, angrily saying.

However, when the height measurement came out, Bai Bufan proudly laughed:

"Sigh, I'm just 181.2. Last time I measured, I was already 180.7, so I've only grown half a centimeter.

But hey, my last measurement was in mid-August, now it's only been two months. If I only grow half a centimeter in half a year, I'd want to die, right? Unlike someone who only grew 0.3 centimeters - Lin 'point three' Li meters."

Bai Bufan leaned into Lin Li's ear, whispering devilishly with a rhythmic cadence.

"Heh, I don't care at all." Lin Li said as he turned away, chuckling after hearing this.

"Mr. Lin, it seems like your blood pressure's a bit high," at this point, the doctor across from Lin Li stopped inflating the blood pressure cuff and spoke softly but seriously.

Lin Li: "?"

Not buddies?

"..."

Lin Li turned his head, locking eyes with Bai Bufan, both of them blinked.

"Mr. Lin, you seem to care a bit," Bai Bufan said seriously.

"..."

"Damn it!! Dr. Liu! There's no need to point that out right now!!"

"Hahahaha!!"

After a brief silence, the two of them couldn't hold back.

The doctor's "blood pressure's high" was too authoritative to argue against.

Lin Li raised his left hand, free of the blood pressure cuff, and gave Bai Bufan a punch.

Of course, this kind of data influenced by short-term emotional changes can't really count, so the doctor retook Lin Li's measurement.

The data was normal.

As they left the room, Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan, and the illusion that he used to look down on him seemed smaller, so he reminisced about the past:

"I miss being fifteen when I was invincible, growing a bit each day."

"Old man, just let it go and move on, stop reminiscing here."

Bai Bufan spoke without any politeness, then with a smug smile, patted Lin Li on the shoulder and said with superiority:

"Lin Li, do you want me to recommend you a height increase medicine? Otherwise, I fear I'll surpass you and it'll be embarrassing."

"Most height increase medicines are a waste of money, getting proper nutrition is more important." Lin Li wasn't interested in it at all, so he responded disdainfully, "If you keep taking them, bad news won't just come from the bodybuilding circle, Bufan."

"Mine's not a waste, nor is it hormones. I saw immediate effects after using it." Bai Bufan denied somewhat excitedly.

"That's because you were going to grow tall anyway, it's mostly psychological."

"Absolutely not, the medicine deserves the credit, I'm sure of it."

"Come on, if such a medicine existed, everyone would be buying it."

"There are side effects many can't bear," Bai Bufan shook his head.

"Huh? What side effects?" Lin Li looked over.

"Hurts the feet."

"Hurts—"

Lin Li: "(;☉_☉)?"

"How the hell do you use height increase medicine to get taller, Bai Bufan! You brat! Look me in the eye and talk to me!"

Once Lin Li realized, he grabbed Bai Bufan's collar and loudly questioned.

"Put them in the shoes, if you need to take your shoes off for a measurement, put them in the socks, it works like a charm, though walking feels like stepping on acupressure mats, it's a bit uncomfortable," Bai Bufan regretfully said:

"Because of this downside, I gave up long-term use, otherwise, I should already be 185 by now."

Lin Li: "..."

Can't even retort, really works like a charm, see results immediately.

"Only an opponent like you is worth growing taller for," Lin Li acknowledged, "but no thanks, my soles are ticklish."

"Really looking forward to the future, Xiaolin. So, what's next? Surgery? Or ENT?" Holding the examination report, and glancing at the nearby departments, Bai Bufan asked.

"Let's go for the blood test first, then I plan to have a CT scan and ultrasound, do all the fasting tests first, then we can have breakfast and do the rest leisurely, I'm already a bit hungry," Lin Li thought and said.

There's a difference between energy consumption and being hungry after waking up, especially for someone like Lin Li who has cultivated a habit of getting up at four and eating breakfast every day. Today, he got up at the same time but didn't eat breakfast; he's indeed a bit hungry.

"Makes sense, I feel that too now you mention it, let's see where to draw blood," Bai Bufan nodded.

Blood drawing takes longer for one person, so there's a queue.

Although they could cut in line, they'd still have to wait for Bai Bufan, so when Lin Li handed in the form, he told the staff they were together.

"Damn, they draw three tubes at once?" Sitting on the corridor chairs, the two watched the blood drawing window's work, Bai Bufan tutted in amazement.

"There might be many indicators to test, can't use one tube repeatedly after all."

"Sometimes I understand people who faint at the sight of blood, the red color really is creepy," Bai Bufan nodded, then commented.
