Xie Chuantang paused, still sipping her porridge, but lifted her eyes to look at him.

Xie Chuantang bit into a steamed bun.

"Handsome or not... how can an inch of height matter?"

"Sorry, I've been a constable for too long, I'm particularly sensitive to height and appearance," Xie Chuantang said offhandedly, "If it bothers you, I won't mention it again."

Pei Ye rolled her eyes and nudged two steamed buns towards her.
