Chapter 241: The She Gathering Arc (11)
Meng Rin wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating or that the room’s darkness was making her exaggerate things, but the sleeping man seemed to be very gifted in the height department. He looked so giant that the whole back part of the room was consumed within his frame.
For perspective her colleagues, Bai Caishen and Dong Haoyu were reasonably tall at 6-1 and 6 feet respectively. Mingshen, who she met in Tianjin, was also 6-1.
But the man standing behind Huo Tengqi was very tall, easily 6-5. It wasn’t an abnormally tall height but considering all the men she ever met in her life, yes, that man was considerably very taller to her by the general standards.
Definitely taller compared to Huo Tengqi who stood at 5-9. It was like he perfectly fit within the man’s bulk. Huo Tengqi felt it too when he turned. He had seen heighted men more in the western part of the world but definitely not in China.
Yet. Now he had.
His height didn’t feel that much of an issue when he was lying on the bed. Standing upright was a whole different story.
And Huo Tengqi didn’t like that feeling because for the first time in his life, somebody’s stature alone was enough to rattle him. It also didn’t help that the sleeping man held a feral gaze that only intensified his threatening bulk.
He gulped down his uncomfortable feelings and stared at him. "So you are awake."
"You kicked the bed," he whispered.
Huo Tengqi blinked. "What? I didn’t hear you."
Meng Rin suddenly felt more afraid than before. But she wasn’t clear if it was her fiance or the sleeping stranger who invoked that extra fear. But she found hope.
