The next morning, Che Xiayun lazily crawled out of bed, washed up, checked the weather forecast, and headed to the walk-in closet. She picked out a casual hoodie, paired it with jeans and sneakers. As someone who preferred traveling light, she naturally kept things simple, she didn’t even bother tying up her hair, just gave it a quick comb and let it cascade over her shoulders. That was enough.
Yet, even so, it couldn’t conceal a single fraction of Young Master Che’s beauty. After all, someone with good looks and a well-proportioned figure would look stunning even in a burlap sack (and even more so without it).

Che Xiayun looked at her reflection in the mirror and felt like her pants seemed a bit short. Upon closer inspection, they were indeed a little too short.
She’s grown taller. How wonderful, youth truly is a blessing!
She could ask Aunt Xu to buy some new clothes later. Some of the original owner’s flamboyant, eccentric, and cringe-worthy outfits were simply unwearable, even if they were high-end custom pieces made from top-quality materials.
She went downstairs to the backyard and found Aunt Xu watering the plants. “Aunt Xu, I’d like to buy some new clothes.”
Aunt Xu set down the watering can and replied with a smile, “What style would you like, young mistress? How about that designer from last time?”
Che Xiayun stood up straight and proudly gestured to her height. “I’ve grown taller, so my clothes and pants should be a bit larger. Just nothing too flashy in color or style.”
Aunt Xu looked her up and down, her smile widening. “You’ve indeed grown quite a bit taller, young mistress, and you’ve become even more beautiful. Let me take your measurements.”
Pleased by the compliment, Che Xiayun beamed like a child. “Hehe, sure.”
Aunt Xu led her back inside, through the hall, and into the gym. There, they spotted Ma Qingyu on the treadmill. Aunt Xu nodded with a smile. “I’m here to take the young mistress’s measurements.”
“Mm.”
Ma Qingyu gave a slight nod, her cheeks flushed and lips slightly dry. Sweat trickled from the side of her face and neck down into the curves hugged by her black sports top. Her abdomen was flat, without a trace of excess fat, clearly revealing her toned abs. Her hips were full and powerful, while her hot pants barely covered the tops of her thighs. Her calves were slender yet well-defined.
Che Xiayun hadn’t expected to find Ma Qingyu in the gym, and her eyes nearly lingered on the omega’s curvaceous figure. She silently scolded herself for being a little pervert and quickly averted her gaze, muttering, “What kind of measurements? Sounds weird.”
Aunt Xu turned on the measuring device. “Young mistress, step right up here for the measurement.”
Che Xiayun took off her shoes and stood on the platform. The machine quickly produced the data, and an emotionless electronic voice announced, “Height: 174.5 cm. Weight: 51.6 kg.”
Aunt Xu nodded in satisfaction, jotting down the height and weight. “Young mistress, you’ve grown 6.5 cm since your differentiation, but you’re a bit too thin. You need to improve your nutrition.”
Che Xiayun silently calculated her BMI around 17. She really was a bit underweight. “Mm, I’ll eat more.”
Ma Qingyu pressed a button on the treadmill, slowing to a walk as she caught her breath. “The doctor said that after an alpha differentiates, their height can increase by 3 to 7 cm within six months. Reaching 174.5 cm is already quite good.”
Young Master Che, please don’t grow any taller. If you get any taller, even I, at 167 cm, won’t be able to reach you for a kiss even on tiptoe.
“Mm.”
Che Xiayun was quite pleased with herself. After all, before transmigrating into this book, she had only been 1.65 meters tall. Now that she was so much taller, she basically had to look down on everyone it felt amazing, especially when facing those Omegas around 1.5 meters, whom she could practically treat like children.
Aunt Xu brought out a soft measuring tape. “Young Miss, let’s measure your bust, waist, and hip measurements, along with your shoulder width, arm span, and leg length. Oh, and we’ll need to measure your feet too.”
Che Xiayun raised her arms and stood straight in a T-pose. Aunt Xu started by measuring her arm span. “Exactly 1.74 meters.”
Then she measured her shoulder width. “39.7 centimeters.”
Ma Qingyu stepped off the treadmill, wiped her sweat with a large towel, and draped it over her shoulders.
Aunt Xu finished measuring and grabbed Che Xiayun’s sweatshirt, lifting it up. Che Xiayun bent over awkwardly, covering her stomach. “Aunt Xu, what are you doing?”
“Measuring your bust, waist, and hips. I even bathed you when you were little, why are you so shy now?”
Che Xiayun glanced at Ma Qingyu, then back at Aunt Xu. Seeing Ma Qingyu’s indifferent expression, she finally mustered up some courage, pretending to be bold as she took off her sweatshirt. After all, she was an Alpha, how could she back down in front of an Omega?
Aunt Xu wrapped the soft tape around her waist. “60.5 centimeters.”
Just as Aunt Xu was about to remove her bra, Che Xiayun quickly covered herself, embarrassed. “My bust measurement hasn’t changed, so let’s skip that.”
Ma Qingyu picked up a pen and paper to record the measurements for Aunt Xu. “Waist, 60.5 centimeters. Bust…”
Aunt Xu frowned sternly. “How do you know it hasn’t changed? Even the slightest change needs to be recorded.”
A faint smile tugged at Ma Qingyu’s lips. “Aunt Xu, I know the measurement 81 centimeters.”
Aunt Xu glanced back at her, then nodded knowingly with a smile. “Alright, Madam, please note it down.”
Seeing the suggestive look on Aunt Xu’s face, Che Xiayun felt a bit frustrated. Could you believe it? Even she herself didn’t know why Ma Qingyu knew her bust measurement.
Aunt Xu continued measuring. “Leg length, 109.3 centimeters.”
Wow, her legs were actually this long, no wonder Shi Xiaoya always struggled to keep up with her. Che Xiayun silently marveled at the discovery.
Two or three minutes later, the measurements were mostly done. Che Xiayun straightened her clothes and quickly slipped out of the gym. Breakfast had just been prepared, so she grabbed a steamer basket with three crab roe buns and a piece of beef potstickers.
The crab roe buns had incredibly thin skins. With just a slight poke of her chopsticks, she could see the savory broth sloshing inside. Picking one up, she blew on it to cool it down, then took a small bite. The rich aroma of crab roe wafted out. Che Xiayun sipped some of the broth, then took another bite. The bun was slightly warm and sweet, incredibly fresh. The wrapper was thin yet chewy, and the filling was packed with crab meat and roe, with a layer of crab oil floating on the broth.
After finishing three crab roe buns, she was just half-full satisfied but not overwhelmed. This was the perfect time to sip some tart plum juice to cut through the richness, both refreshing and appetizing. Che Xiayun picked up a beef potsticker and took a bite. The wrapper was thin and crispy, slightly charred, while the filling was thick, with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, delivering a pure beef flavor.
Ma Qingyu came downstairs after showering and changing clothes. Seeing Che Xiayun enjoying her meal so much, she also took a beef potsticker.
Che Xiayun quickly reminded her, “Try the crab roe buns first, they’re delicious. I bet you’ll be full after finishing that steamer basket.”
Only then did Ma Qingyu notice the basket of crab roe buns. “Alright.”
Che Xiayun finished the beef potsticker in a few bites, feeling almost full. Sipping her plum juice contentedly, she added, “Be careful with the broth inside, it’s still a bit hot.”
Ma Qingyu nodded gently, picked up a medium-sized crab roe bun, and ate it in small bites along with the broth. The aroma of crab was rich and fragrant, but for her, it was slightly too rich. The kitchen chef had paired it well, the sweet and slightly sour plum juice was just the right remedy.
After breakfast, it was almost 9:30. Che Xiayun rested briefly before asking Driver Zhang to take her out.
Driver Zhang had just seen Ma Qingyu in the garage and suggested, “Young Master, Madam is also heading out today. We could give her a ride on the way.”
Che Xiayun shook her head, “I wouldn’t want to trouble her. Just take me.”
Just then, Ma Qingyu drove past them, smiling slightly, “It’s no trouble.”
Che Xiayun forced a smile and reluctantly said, “I’ll drive myself.”
Ma Qingyu raised an eyebrow, rolled up the car window, and drove off.
Driver Zhang brought out a large set of luxury car keys for her to choose from, “Young Master, all these cars are well-maintained.”
Che Xiayun didn’t recognize the car logos, so she went to the garage and picked the most ordinary-looking black sports car. “Just give me the keys for this one.”
The sports car was indeed stylish and comfortable, without the deafening engine roar she had imagined. Che Xiayun drove slowly and leisurely, arriving at the amusement park entrance just after 10:05.
Jiang Shuai had also driven herself today, in a rugged and wild-looking off-road vehicle.
Ran Shan handed Che Xiayun a ticket, “Let’s go in and try some other rides first. We’ll queue for the haunted house in the afternoon.”
Jiang Shuai patted her backpack, “I knew you wouldn’t bring anything. Good thing I planned ahead.”
Che Xiayun asked curiously, “What did you bring?”
Jiang Shuai counted on her fingers, “Sushi and tempura bento boxes, I had the family chef prepare them. They taste pretty good, much better than the food here. Then I also brought some quick-acting heart relief pills and glow bracelets.”
Che Xiayun looked puzzled, “Quick-acting heart relief pills?”
