Chapter 25: New Hairstyle

Hearing herself be called out, Yu Bao’er pouted, seemingly a little unhappy.
However, she already knew the rules before she arrived. Her older brother had said that if she didn’t follow the camp’s rules, she would either be punished by the camp or he’d be the one to punish her when she returned.
Either way, it would be death.
So, she’ll choose to listen and be obedient!
Because of the Sergeant’s words, Gu Qingjiu also tilted her head a little to glance at Yu Bao’er. At this moment, Chen Haoyang pointed at her and said, “You, come out!”
Yu Bao’er slowly walked out.
This Sergeant that found her hair color an eyesore said once more, “I called you out, yet you’re taking your own sweet time. This is the military, not your house.”
He had teased her by calling her a rainbow-head earlier, but now he was being a little serious and strict.
The hearts of the people who originally thought that this Sergeant was more relaxed than Instructor Chen Haoyang all clenched in nervousness.
Anger started to emit in Yu Bao’er’s heart from being called out. However, she didn’t dare show it and instead, instantly stood up straight.
The sergeant pointed at her. “Haoyang, according to the rules, go and tidy up their appearances first. Then, send them to their dormitory. We’ll announce the rest of everything at night when we gather in the field. The new instructor wants to see them, so we don’t have too much time to tell them anything now.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Chen Haoyang saluted and then turned around with a marching step. He then waved at this group of students. “Come with me!”
Even if they hadn’t said much, everyone knew that they must listen to their superiors. They all followed after Chen Haoyang obediently.
They passed by a large field on their way. Dust was flying about on the exercise field. There was a unit practicing their square marches there. Even if they didn’t look as uniform and as standardized as those they saw on the television, they were definitely a lot stronger than them who walked shaking about and lazily.
Just their attitudes were different already.
Gu Qingjiu walked amongst the crowd and didn’t stand out. However, Yu Bao’er would approach Gu Qingjiu and whisper to her from time to time.
Even then, Gu Qingjiu barely replied to her.
Yu Bao’er then whispered softly to her to say that she was basically a blockhead.
Very quickly, they arrived at the camp’s dresser room. It was actually just a retired hairstylist that worked part-time and helped shave heads for the military.
According to the rules, the boys had to cut a skinhead haircut while the girls had to have the normal short hairstyles boys usually have.
They still had to expose their ears and forehead.
Seeing that they needed to cut their hair, a large population of the group was unhappy and started to grumble out loud.
Students now were very fashionable. Everyone knew that hairstyles would ruin them, especially if their facial appearances were not good enough. Having an army cut was definitely a fatal blow.
However, there was no other choice. The military was like this.
Meanwhile, Yu Bao’er, who looked unruly with her rainbow hair, still cooperated really well with the hairstylist to cut her hair short.
She had such long hair. But in every snip of the scissors, she could feel the pain in her heart.
After Yu Bao’er had cut her hair short, she became a refreshing-looking young girl. After all, she was pretty.
On the other hand, Yu Bao’er was a little shocked after seeing Gu Qingjiu’s short hair.
The girl’s hair wasn’t long, to begin with, though she usually tied it up. With the hair cut, her originally thick fringe disappeared and it exposed her facial features.
Her small and fair earlobes were exposed and the girl’s skin was as flawless and fair as jade. Her face that had baby-fat appeared smaller after her hairstyle change. Yu Bao’er unconsciously reached out to compare their face sizes and found out that Gu Qingjiu’s face was almost as small as her palm.
The small excess was only because of Gu Qingjiu’s baby fat.
Yu Bao’er was a little shocked. It was her first time seeing someone who didn’t suit fringes. It was no wonder she found Gu Qingjiu normal earlier. With her hairstyle change, she appeared to be even prettier.
Even the hair stylish found it a little weird. However, he went on to place the credit on his skills. “It seems like my skills have improved again!”
