The people Chu Xiao brought were to prepare a dress for Shen Ruo. At his signal, those people gathered around Shen Ruo and began to measure his height and various data directly in the living room without giving Shen Ruo any objection. Chance.
Technology is becoming more and more advanced. Although Shen Ruo has not made custom-made clothes, he has seen them in Cross Planet.
The tailors there all use machines to measure, and most of the clothes are made semi-automatically, with some parts having to be done by hand.
The price will be a bit higher due to the handwork and better fabrics, but the tailor-made clothes do look better than those purchased directly.
The people brought by Chu Xiao used soft rulers to measure height and other data. This was a very new thing for Shen Ruo. He did not expect that making clothes in the Emperor Star would lead to his return. Original method.
"We will ask designers to cut it by hand. The craftsmanship of this store is good. It is more comfortable to wear than those made by machines."
Chu Xiao gave a brief introduction to Shen Ruo from the side. He watched the people using a soft ruler to measure Shen Ruo's body. He suddenly stepped forward and took the soft ruler from the hand of the person who wanted to measure the bust.
Three or four people gathered around Shen Ruo and started taking measurements. They only measured the height and sleeve length. They were supposed to gradually measure the chest, waist and hips, but Chu Xiao took over.
The male surveyors were very discerning and took a step back to leave Chu Xiao some space.
Shen Ruo was relatively introverted. He knew that these people were all professional in making clothes, but he still felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by various measurements.
"Sorry, it suddenly occurred to me that I should bring the demi-human surveyor over."
Chu Xiao explained. He looked at Shen Ruo and lowered his voice and asked him, "Are you a little uncomfortable?"
Shen Ruo hesitated, but nodded. There was indeed some discomfort, but the discomfort caused by gender was not as serious as Chu Xiao said. Those few people were very serious and were obviously just concentrating on their work.
"Shall I come?" Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo with a smile. He still held a soft ruler in his hand. Seeing what Shen Ruo wanted to say, he spoke again: "It should be better if you are an acquaintance."
Seeing that he persisted and that the measurer on the side spoke very gently and started to instruct Chu Xiao on what to do, Shen Ruo had no choice but to open his arms and let Chu Xiao help him measure his chest.
Chu Xiao measured very quickly. When he saw that the chest width, back width, and waist circumference were all measured, he lowered his head and glanced at it casually, then reported a number, and the person next to him wrote it down.
Similarly, Chu Xiao also made a note of Shen Ruo's size in his mind. Shen Ruo's waist was thin and flexible, which was similar to what he estimated that night in Ada Town.
Shen Ruo, who seemed to want to say something all the time, whispered when Chu Xiao was about to bend down to measure his hip circumference: "The housekeeping robot has the function of measuring body data."
People with relatively good family conditions generally have various physical data measured by the housekeeping robot on their optical brain, including these. Shen Ruo does not have these except for various health indicators of the body.
When he buys clothes, he only has a general idea. He tries them on on the spot and as long as they can be worn, he will be fine with measuring these detailed data.
However, he knew that the Chu family's housekeeping robot was very advanced and had such functions. He was about to say that just now, but Chu Xiao didn't seem to think about it at all, and started measuring him directly under the guidance of the surveyor.
Chu Xiao had good intentions and was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so he might not have considered it. Shen Ruo naturally found excuses for Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao was too serious, and he would not suspect anything bad about him at all.
The movements of his hands stopped, and Chu Xiao maintained his bent posture. He only raised his head and glanced at Shen Ruo with a smile, his voice gentle.
"There are slight differences between machine measurement and manual measurement, but as long as you are not thin or fat, you can still use this data in the future without having to take a second test."
With that said, Chu Xiao ignored Shen Ruo's resistance and quickly measured his hip circumference.
Inevitably, he met Shen Ruo, and they were separated at the first touch, without letting Shen Ruo notice anything wrong.
After reporting the data, Chu Xiao straightened up in a good mood. He smiled softly and calmly, and even looked upright, as if he had completed a simple task.
The trousers length and sleeve length data just now have been measured by others, so Chu Xiao's work ends here.
The butler stood there with a low sense of presence. He noticed all Chu Xiao's movements.
The always flamboyant eldest son of their family finally bent down for once, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all in front of a demi-human he had been courting for so many days.
This comforted the housekeeper who had been worried that Chu Xiao might not be able to marry a good wife because he was too carefree and had a bad temper. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, it is a good start at least. Maybe it is really what the old lady said, the young master has grown up.
The housekeeper even felt that if the length of his pants had not been measured just now, their young master would probably have to kneel on the ground for Shen Ruo to measure.
Some things can be seen more clearly by bystanders than by those in authority.
It's a pity that he still didn't see that scene.
After returning the soft ruler to the professional, Chu Xiao saw that Shen Ruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to have passed a difficult time. His expression was normal, but his ears were red.
Chu Xiao was in a better mood. Of course he knew about the housekeeping robot that Shen Ruo was talking about. He thought that Shen Ruo wouldn't react. Unexpectedly, his thoughts were moving very quickly, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't stop like that.
He could see that Shen Ruo would believe him as long as he found any reason. Such unguarded trust made Chu Xiao very useful.
The housekeeper took the people out. Today is Monday, and the dress must be made in time for next Tuesday. The time is very tight.
However, Chu Xiao asked them not only to rush out the one they were about to wear, but also asked them to make two more outfits. Those two outfits could be done slowly, and he selected two of the most advanced craftsmen.
As for why he had to do more, even Chu Xiao himself didn't know. He just thought that if he had to take Shen Ruo to other banquets, he would have two more clothes to wear. Shen Ruo's body data had been measured and he was making clothes. Just say hello.
Now, in addition to making the dress, there is another very important thing. Chu Xiao's slightly sharp eyebrows are full of joy.
Knowing that he shouldered the responsibility of Chu Xiao's dance partner, Shen Ruo followed Chu Xiao to the training building. In addition to various equipment and training rooms, there was also a dedicated dance studio with complete facilities and equipment.
The soft music played, and Shen Ruo didn't know how to play it. Chu Xiao gently held his waist and taught him little by little until Shen Ruo slowly mastered it, with full patience.
―――
Body contact is frequent when dancing. Shen Ruo knew this. He tried to control his movements as much as possible, rarely stepping on Chu Xiao, and also careful not to get too close to Chu Xiao. It was relatively successful.
But the distance was still very close. Shen Ruo could clearly feel the vibration in Chu Xiao's chest when he laughed softly, and the magnetic sound almost sounded above his head. It was deadly gentle and magnetic.
Shen Ruo just doesn't understand emotional things anymore, but he can definitely feel Chu Xiao's kindness to him.
Ever since he arrived at the Chu family, there had never been any bad or unpleasant things in front of Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao always tolerated him and treated him patiently. Moreover, after he said that he would try to get along with him last time, Chu Xiao It's more gentle.
While walking that evening, he knew that Chu Xiao seemed to want to hold his hand, but he kept restraining himself. In the end, he made no move to cross the line, stopped testing, and withdrew his hand.
Shen Ruo probably remembered the dance steps. He raised his head and looked at the gentle Chu Xiao.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Xiao looked down at him, and the two of them looked at each other so close.
Opening his mouth, Shen Ruo didn't know what he wanted to say. He just wanted to see Chu Xiao, this young man who was very kind to him.
"Have you grown taller?"
Seeing that Chu Xiao was a little confused and still waiting for him to speak, Shen Ruo had to find another topic. He was indeed a little curious about this.
"you caught me."
Chu Xiao turned around with Shen Ruo, his strong and strong arms wrapped around the flexible waist. Such an open and honest contact made him very happy.
"It has grown by three centimeters, and it is estimated that it will continue to grow."
The music ended, and Chu Xiao let go of Shen Ruo at the right time. This time, the two of them completed the work at a very high level. Shen Ruo studied seriously, and it was expected that he could do so well.
Shen Ruo looked at Chu Xiao in surprise, he was still growing.
However, it is a fact that boys grow taller, and it is relatively common for boys to grow taller when they are seventeen or eighteen years old.
He had a male classmate before, who suddenly grew up in the last semester last year. That boy was the same age as them. Chu Xiao's genes must be better, and his height would be reasonable.
What Chu Xiao said was true. A private doctor had been observing his body, and the conclusion was based on comprehensive data. Of course he knew this.
"If you were longer, you would be 1.9 meters tall."
Shen Ruo briefly thought about Duke Chu's height. The official figure seemed to be about 1.9 meters. Grandpa Chu was very tall. Logically speaking, Chu Xiao would definitely not be shorter.
"Yeah, almost."
Chu Xiao saw Shen Ruo thinking seriously for a while before speaking. He felt itchy and wanted to rub his head, but couldn't do it.
Who makes him a so-called "gentleman" now? If not, he would have been able to ask for some benefits openly during the dance. Why bother to be so cowardly
The regret in his heart could not be expressed, Chu Xiao could only secretly regret it in his heart.
Shen Ruo looked at Chu Xiao. He himself was 1.77 meters tall and was not short among demi-humans. Therefore, he had no special obsession with height. Except when he wanted something high enough, if there was no place to stand on, he would I wish I could grow very tall and reach out wherever I want.
This is not an era of war. When all children are growing up, the food and nutrition provided by the family are sufficient. Unless it is caused by genes, ordinary people will basically not suffer from symptoms of being too short or malnourished.
When he first met Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao was two to three centimeters taller than him, about 1.8 meters tall, which was not much different. But in such a short period of time, Chu Xiao began to grow taller and even grew to At 1.9 meters, it's more than ten centimeters taller than him.
"What, you want to grow taller too?"
Chu Xiao asked him with a smile. Seeing Shen Ruo blinking her eyes and looking at him softly, she finally couldn't hold it back and stretched out her hand to rub Shen Ruo's head.
"I haven't grown any more since last year."
When Shen Ruo said this, her tone sounded a little regretful, which made Chu Xiao laugh.
In fact, Chu Xiao wanted to say that this was just right. If he held her in his arms, his chin could rest on the top of his hair. This was the case on the roof of Ada Town that day.
Shen Ruo was very obedient when she was sleeping, curled up together, quietly. She was tired after running around the town for a day, and she didn't even know she was being moved into his arms.
When he grows taller, he can completely hold people in his arms. Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite good.
Chu Xiao, who had no expectations for height before, now had the idea of growing taller quickly for the first time. Although Shen Ruo wasn't completely tempted yet, one day he would eventually.
As for waiting for Shen Ruo to get it, Chu Xiao thought that he might not get tired of it so easily. After all, Shen Ruo was the first demi-human he had pursued so hard.
"Drinking more milk and eating well might be enough."
Instead of maintaining the so-called personality, Chu Xiao touched Shen Ruo's head, but soon put down his hand, making Shen Ruo feel that this was just a comfort.
Of course, Shen Ruo did think so.
Hearing what Chu Xiao said, Shen Ruo nodded, just in case he could continue to grow.
"If you have rested, do you want to continue?"
Chu Xiao spoke and stretched out his hand towards Shen Ruo.
Striking while the iron is hot, Shen Ruo still remembered what Chu Xiao taught him just now. He didn't hesitate, carefully put his hand on it, and started practicing again with the music starting again.
