Chapter 25：My First Writing Experience (2/2)

”Hello,” I greeted back, sounding a bit shy because of all the things I just thought. My voice was a bit rough, too, I just noticed it when I spoke.

”Why didn't you sleep?” he asked. ”If you keep that up, you won't grow any taller.”

”Ha-ha! I'm quite fine with my 5'7 height. And you? You're the one who needs to grow more since you're a boy.”

”I'm tall enough already. I'm not aiming to be a 6-footer. I'm already getting enough invites to join the varsity and lots of other sports clubs. If I grow any taller, they won't stop pestering me.”

”Why? What's your height right now?”

”5'9.”

”Wow! That's tall! No wonder you're getting lots of invites. Too bad, you're too lazy to join any of them, right?”

”Hah! Yeah,” he chuckled. ”And did you just say you're 5'7? You were only 5'6 a few months ago.”

”See? I told you I'm growing quite well. I think I'll be 5'8 or maybe even 5'9 before I turn 18. I hope I don't grow too tall though.” Honestly, I knew I really won't. I only reached 5'8 in my past life, so it would probably be the same on this one since I had the same body.

”Why not?”

”It will be hard for me to look for a partner in the future. Not many of my fellow countrymen will be tall enough for me. And I'm not too sure if I want to marry into a foreigner's family, you know.”

”Pft! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” and he laughed at me, real hard, as if my concern was unimportant.

”Hey! Why are you laughing at me? It's reason enough!”
