That afternoon, Su Rou took out the camouflage uniform and tried it on. That old woman had lied. She said it would fit, but look... Su Rou looked at herself in the mirror. The loose camouflage uniform was like a costume. The pants were so long that they covered her insteps, and the jacket was the same. When she put it on, her hands couldn't even be seen.
"..." It was like a big sack.
Su Rou ran downstairs to show Su Yuze. "Brother Ze, look. That old woman lied. It's so baggy. I can't wear it at all!"
Su Yuze shifted his gaze to her. A smile appeared in his eyes. "It is... but you look cute." The oversized clothes enveloped Su Rou, making her seem even more petite. The way her hands and feet were hidden made her look... kind of dazed and cute.
"Where am I cute?" It's like a sack. "I don't want this uniform."
Su Yuze sized her up and then said, "The military training is the day after tomorrow, right? Take it to be altered tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Rou tugged at her loose belt. If it weren't for the belt, the pants would surely fall down! "Brother Ze, help me check what size this uniform is." She said it was size M. She definitely didn't believe it!
Su Yuze checked the size tag behind the collar. He also thought it was more than just a size M. "XXL."
"Ha, I knew it!" Su Rou said crossly. "I asked that old woman at that time, and she still told me it would fit!" That old woman had looked impatient then!
Su Yuze pulled at Su Rou's sleeve. He felt that the sleeve was so wide that two of her could fit in it. "Take it off. Let Sister Wang take it to be altered tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Rou shuffled along with the long pants. She had to tug at the pants every few steps, or she would surely trip.
...
Su Rou tried on the newly altered camouflage uniform. Although it was still a bit loose, it was much better than before when it covered her hands and feet like a sack.
"Yeah, Miss looks much better like this," Sister Wang stepped back and sized up Su Rou. "Miss looks very pretty in the camouflage uniform!"
"Thank you."
When Su Yuze came back from work, he saw a little green figure running towards him. "It's already altered? Let me see... Well, it looks much better." Su Yuze ruffled Su Rou's hair.
"I just wanted to check if it fits." Su Rou shook her sleeve. The length covered her instep, and half of her fingers were exposed when it hung down. "It's still too long, but there's no time to alter it anymore."
The next day
Su Yuze drove Su Rou, who was wearing the camouflage uniform, to T University. "Brother Ze, I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute." Su Yuze looked at her. "Did you forget something?"
Since universities in China implement the boarding system, there were no students coming and going at the school gate. So Su Rou leaned over and gave Su Yuze a loud kiss on his thin lips. "I'll pick you up after school, or... you can come to my company."
"Okay."
Walking into the school, Su Rou saw a sea of green. She looked around blankly, trying to find her own group, but then she realized that she didn't know any of those people at all.
"Rourou!" Yu Fei, who was also wearing a camouflage uniform, patted Su Rou on the shoulder from behind. "I thought you wouldn't participate in the military training!" She was quite surprised because military training was quite tough. How could Big Brother Su bear to let her do it?
Su Rou was finally relieved to see a familiar face. "I've never tried it before, so I came to experience it." Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Will there be shooting?"
She actually wanted to try the feeling of shooting. Yu Fei shook her head. "I don't know, but there should be."
"Let's go. Let's find our group."
Finally, in the sea of green camouflage uniforms, they managed to find the group of Class One of the Finance Department. In front of each class, there was already a serious drill instructor standing. The powerful aura emanating from him was intimidating.
"I'm Chen Zhong. You can just call me Instructor Chen!" Instructor Chen Zhong said in a loud voice. This imposing manner really scared these new college students.
"Hello, Instructor Chen!"
"Okay, now follow me to the playground!"
Su Rou thought they would go to the playground to shoot, but unexpectedly, they were asked to stand at attention, and it was under the scorching sun. Wearing long - sleeved clothes, which were a heat - absorbing dark green color, Su Rou felt like she was about to burn up as she stood there.
Yu Fei stole a careful glance at Su Rou, her eyes full of worry. She wondered if Rourou could hold on!
"Everyone, follow me and shout the slogan."
"..." Su Rou felt a bit helpless. Just stand at attention. Why shout slogans? No matter how loudly they shouted, they couldn't make the sun go away! And shouting loudly on such a hot day could easily lead to dehydration.
They stood at attention for two hours. During these two hours, there was a puddle of water under everyone's feet, formed by the dripping sweat.
Su Rou had never been exposed to such strong sunlight before. She suddenly felt dizzy and her body swayed slightly. Seeing this, Yu Fei whispered, "Rourou, if you can't hold on, tell the instructor." Although the instructor was strict, considering that Su Rou was a girl, he shouldn't say anything.
Because of the dizziness caused by the sun, Su Rou couldn't hear the surrounding sounds clearly. "That female student, stand still and don't sway!" Instructor Chen pointed at Su Rou and said quite sternly.
"Instructor Chen, she's too tired," Yu Fei immediately supported Su Rou and said to Chen Zhong.
"This is a training for the students. It's only the first day!"
"Instructor Chen, she's a girl!" Not to mention the boys, just look at the girls in the group. How many of them still looked normal?
Chen Zhong looked at Su Rou, whose feet were a bit wobbly. After a moment of thought, he finally said, "Okay, let her take a rest."
Yu Fei supported Su Rou and was about to move to a shady place. But just as they took two steps, Su Rou suddenly went limp and fell straight forward. "Rourou!" Yu Fei quickly caught her. Her hat fell to the ground, revealing a flushed face.
Oh no, Su Rou had heatstroke!
At this moment, the students got in an uproar. Chen Zhong immediately said, "Quick, a boy come out and carry her to the school infirmary."
The boys all came over. Everyone wanted to take a break and go to the infirmary to enjoy the air - conditioning. Standing at attention during military training was already their limit, not to mention what kind of torture was waiting for them later!
But just as the boys were discussing who would carry Su Rou, Yu Fei suddenly picked Su Rou up and carried her on her back. Then she quickly ran towards the school infirmary.
"Wow, that girl is so strong."
"She can run so fast while carrying someone..."
