Is this what you look like?
In my impression, I have always looked like this over the years, without any change.
Although due to the habit effect, it is usually difficult for him to notice the changes in himself, but over the years, Xiaolan feels that the appearance of Sister Xiaoyin and Taoist Master have changed.
Especially the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest has long since transformed from a handsome young man to a steady middle-aged handsome man.
Why have you always been like this?
Xiaolan seemed to realize this problem for the first time. She raised her head suddenly and tugged on Qin Yin's sleeve.
"Sister Xiaoyin, do you think I have changed?"
"Change?" Qin Yin immediately became alert, "Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Do you feel like something is wrong?"
"No... don't get me wrong," Xiaolan waved her hands quickly, "Sister Xiaoyin, do you think I haven't grown any taller after so many years?"
After hearing Xiaolan's question, Qin Yin was stunned for a few seconds, and then racked her brains and said in a way that she thought was more tactful, "Actually... this issue... we also discussed it behind your back..."
"Have you discussed it behind my back?" Xiaolan perked up upon hearing this, "Great, then what was the result of your discussion?"
"It's just... uh... Taoist priest, you tell me!"
The Taoist priest cleared his throat, turned away, pretended not to hear Qin Yin's words, sat next to Yi Yao and pretended to chat with him.
"You..." Qin Yin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Taoist priest, you can't be pretentious. You are the one who talks the most happily!"
"What...what did you say about me..." Xiaolan gradually realized that she might not hear anything nice anymore, and looked at Qin Yin and the Taoist priest back and forth aggrievedly, "Sister Xiaoyin, just tell me. .”
"Xiaolan, then you don't want to..."
"I'm not angry," Xiaolan said seriously, "I... try not to be angry."
"Xiaolan, it's like this," Qin Yin swallowed and said hesitantly, "Xiaolan, you need to know one thing, that is... some people will grow earlier, and then stop growing. It will also be relatively early, so..."
"You mean...I won't grow any longer?" Xiaolan suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue.
"Of course, it might be possible in the future," Qin Yin saw that Xiaolan's face turned green and quickly added, "As the saying goes, twenty-four is still running around. You are not an adult now, but there will be many in the future. Chance……"
"I...I won't grow taller..."
Xiaolan couldn't listen to Qin Yin's words at all. She opened her mouth in disbelief and looked into the darkness in the distance with tearful eyes.
To be honest, I have experienced so many things, but this is the first time I have experienced the feeling of collapse.
I...I'm only ten...teens, and I haven't grown any longer. Does that make sense?
"You must have failed to raise Xiaolan well," Luo Jiutian understood what they were discussing and came over to join in the fun, "Children nowadays are very tall, and their parents have given their children a lot of nutrition... Why don't you give Xiaolan to me, I promise to make Xiaolan grow to 1.7 meters..."
"You should support yourself first," Qin Yin said unceremoniously, "Xiaolan is mine."
Qin Yin and Luo Jiutian debated in Xiaolan's ear about her ownership rights. Xiaolan sighed, feeling that they were noisy.
Rustling... rustling...
After a while, a warm body sat down next to her. Xiaolan turned her head and it was Jasmine.
Jasmine fumbled and took Xiaolan's hand, showing a childish smile.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?" Jasmine asked softly, "Why do you suddenly think of the height issue?"
Xiaolan looked at Jasmine's appearance.
When he and Jasmine met for the first time, he didn't feel that Jasmine was much older than him, but looking at Jasmine now, Xiaolan could clearly feel that Jasmine was her sister.
Indeed, in the past few years, Jasmine has grown much faster than herself.
"Jasmine, have you gotten taller in the past few years?"
"I've only grown three or four centimeters," Jasmine said thoughtfully, "Why are you asking me this?"
He only grew three or four centimeters taller.
Xiaolan didn't want to talk to her anymore, but looking at Jasmine's clear and innocent look, she couldn't bear it.
"You've all grown taller," Xiaolan pouted, "I'm the only one who hasn't grown taller at all."
Jasmine smiled softly, "Height doesn't mean anything. There are many very powerful people, but they are not very tall."
Xiaolan felt that she was not comforted. She continued to lean over and look at the black water on the shore, staring at her bulging reflection and sulking.
After a while, Xiaolan felt Jasmine beside her leaning over. She glanced sideways in Jasmine's direction, but frowned in confusion.
Xiaolan blinked hard several times, as if he suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Just now, she didn't see Jasmine's reflection.
Xiaolan simply rubbed her eyes. When she put down her hands and looked at the water again, she saw Jasmine's reflection right next to her own reflection, lying flat on the water.
Could it be that just now... I really saw it wrong?
Xiaolan scratched his head, not quite understanding what happened.
"Sister Xiaoyin," there was really no other way. Xiaolan could only bring out the reinforcements, "Come here for a moment."
Qin Yinzheng was standing with the Taoist priest. Hearing Xiaolan's call, the two of them walked over together.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Xiaoyin, you... just take a look into the water." Xiaolan clenched her hands and said hesitantly.
"Why is it so mysterious?" Qin Yin looked at Xiaolan and leaned towards the water.
Others also gathered over, and everyone looked over together.
As soon as Qin Yin's upper body reached the shore, Xiaolan opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Sister Xiaoyin, look! You have no reflection!"
Again!
Qin Yin's reflection did not appear in time. Like Jasmine, it took half a minute for the blurry face to slowly emerge from the water.
"Hey, it has appeared now," Luo Jiutian pointed at Qin Yin's reflection and said, "But Xiaoyin's reflection did not appear immediately. What's going on?...Xiaoyin, could it be you..."
"No, it's not Sister Xiaoyin's problem," Xiaolan said, "It was the same with Jasmine just now. Just like the water surface here, it is slower to show reflections."
The Taoist priest lowered his head and pondered.
"Is there such a possibility?" After a while, the Taoist priest said, "The world we are currently in is not real."
As he spoke, the Taoist priest raised his head and looked at the darkness around him.
"You mean, we are in an illusion?" Xia Hua asked.
"It may be an illusion, or it may be... a world created specifically for us," the Taoist priest said. "If you want to escape from here, first... you must know how he monitors us. In other words, To find..."
"Those eyes!"
