CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 476: UNIFIED CLOTHING

September 30th, at 4:30 in the early morning, the sky was dimly lit.

A coach bus quietly entered the campus of First High School and stopped next to the playground.

As soon as the door opened, Teacher Zhang, who had been picked up along the way from her residential complex by the driver, stepped out of the bus.

Initially, First High School had planned to have her and Director Feng lead the group for the performance.

But who knows what the school was thinking! The day before yesterday, they suddenly approached her and said that, considering both she and Director Feng were women, they feared it would be inconvenient for them to manage a group of boys of varying ages, especially with dining and lodging involved while outside! So, they swapped her partner on short notice from Director Feng to the male discipline director!

Teacher Zhang was somewhat acquainted with Director Feng, who often visited the auditorium to check on rehearsals.

But this male discipline director... Teacher Zhang had never met him even once.

So, early in the morning when the two met under the bus, Teacher Zhang was immediately startled!

Good lord! What in the world did he eat to grow up like that! He’s barely 1.7 meters tall, but Teacher Zhang estimated he must weigh over 200 kilos! Glancing over, he looked like a wall of flesh!

Every time Teacher Zhang, the dance teacher with a slender figure, looked at him, she was filled with disdain and a greasy feeling in her heart! But of course, she couldn’t let it show on her face.

So, after they exchanged their identities, she merely made some small talk with him and then went straight up to the bus to wait!

Since the female teacher boarded the bus first, Director Luan, being a man, naturally found it inappropriate to follow her onto the empty bus to sit and wait.

Therefore, he looked around and saw there was nowhere to rest. He had no choice but to lean against the outside of the bus door, enduring the wait for the arrival of the students.

——

Since the gathering time was set for five o’clock in the morning, Zhen Yu agreed with the others to cancel the morning run and piano practice for the day.

But she still got up at four o’clock as usual.

After washing up and returning to the dorm, Zhen Yu found that Li Mengting and He Xi were already up as well, both silently packing their things.

After quickly glancing at them, Zhen Yu picked up with disgust the uniform that had been distributed to everyone and placed at the head of her bed.

Although she had already tried it on once before, Zhen Yu couldn’t help but go on a mental tirade while putting it on!

"Whoever decided on such an outdated design must be an idiot! Do they think these female students were going to a beauty pageant? Or perhaps a competition for a ceremonial hostess?! A double-breasted suit with a lining paired with a nearly ankle-length thin, single-layer skirt! And to top it off, it even has a back slit! What, they want us to show off our thighs?! Or freeze someone to death?! What with today’s temperatures... only an idiot would wear sheer leggings! Luckily I asked Sister He to buy some thicker tights ahead of time!"

"The clothes are top-heavy and the color is so vibrant! The whole outfit is a bright orange tone! Wearing this, we’d be the perfect image of the nation’s flowers! Tsk, tsk, tsk! This is really killing me!!"

Unfortunately! No matter how unwilling Zhen Yu was, she had to wear this outfit and leave the house today!

After hastily changing, Zhen Yu didn’t dare to look at herself again, afraid she might disgust herself! Filled with an awkward feeling from her hair down to her soles, she grabbed her black backpack and hurried out the door to find Bai Xue.

——

Upon leaving Room 208, Zhen Yu found that there were already quite a few girls moving around in the second-floor corridor; after all, the group dance performers pretty much spanned the entire freshman year group.

Zhen Yu, who rarely wears skirts, suddenly felt extremely restricted in her movements when she put on a pencil skirt, finding it difficult to walk as soon as she stepped out the door!

However, compared to the discomfort she just started to feel, it was the varying gazes of the girls in the corridor that really made Zhen Yu feel irritable!

"Damn!" After cursing inwardly, Zhen Yu immediately became annoyed!

Then... she did something extremely foolish.

Zhen Yu suddenly quickened her pace, hoping to dash down the stairs to escape the public’s gaze!

As a result, unexpectedly, the steps she actually took were much, much smaller than she had imagined!

Dorm 208 was right by the hallway, and as Zhen Yu stumbled, she immediately lost control and pitched forward, headfirst down the stair steps!

"Ahhh!!!" The girls who witnessed this scene all screamed in horror!

If she tumbled all the way down, it wouldn’t just be a joke! Those concrete steps were so hard—just a bump on the head would be the least of it!

Zhen Yu herself was also startled!

But thanks to her years of martial arts training, she quickly regained her composure! Then, relying on her powerful adaptability and flexibility, she quickly reached out to grab the railing and took a huge step forward!

A truly huge step!

"Rip!"

Zhen Yu ended up doing a split right on the stairway steps.

No need to look! She knew her skirt was done for! It was just a question of whether it could still be worn with a bit of sewing...

A mixed-feelings Zhen Yu didn’t even bother to dust herself off, she stood up and ran straight to Bai Xue’s dorm!

This time, she truly became a woman swift like the wind...

-

With a black pair of leggings on underneath, Zhen Yu wasn’t the slightest bit embarrassed as she started taking her skirt off as soon as she entered Room 105! Her action completely baffled Bai Xue and another girl who had gotten up.

After Bai Xue came to her senses, she hurried over to Zhen Yu and asked in a low voice, "What’s up? You feeling hot ’cause you’re wearing too much?"

"There’s a tear in the back of my skirt! I’m taking it off to see if I can sew it!" Zhen Yu explained in a whisper.

"Ah? How did it get damaged as soon as you put it on!? That quality is really poor, isn’t it?" Bai Xue murmured in surprise.

Without lifting her head, Zhen Yu looked at her skirt and urged, "Just hurry up and get ready, don’t mind me! Otherwise, we’ll be late again!"

"Ah? Oh! I’ll change my clothes right now!"

After a quick inspection by Zhen Yu, the skirt seemed salvageable.

But now the zipper was exposed, and trying to sew it nicely could be a bit troublesome! Definitely not something that could be fixed in just three to five minutes!

So, she had no choice but to find a pair of black pants from her backpack and put them on.

After waiting on Bai Xue’s bunk for a little over two minutes, the two girls finally walked out of the dorm side by side.

Han Mingyue had already been waiting at the entrance of the male dormitory across the way.

"This guy’s becoming quite cunning!" thought Zhen Yuxin with an inward chuckle.

The male and female dorms were close to begin with, and standing there he could clearly see anyone entering or leaving the female dorm building; there really was no need to specifically come to the entrance of the girls’ dorm to wait.

Before he would always come to meet her directly, and Zhen Yu had never thought there was anything wrong with that!

Now that she thought about it, she realized how harmful habitual thinking could be!
