On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 92 An unexpected surprise
"That's all. We only have four water sleeve costumes in total. Two of them are still soaking in the water. We plan to wash and dry them together after the tour ends tonight."

The touring performing arts troupe always stays at the local military region for a day or two after the performance to air out all the costumes before leaving.

Is it too late to wring it dry and hang it to dry now?

"That's too late..."

Water sleeve costumes need to be air-dried naturally. Wringing the clothes dry will make the whole body look wrinkled, especially the sleeves, which will greatly affect the picture when waving.

Huang Qian calmed herself down: "Let's try it first. If it really doesn't work, we'll find a new piece of clothing and sew long sleeves onto the sleeves. We'll cancel the drumming project for now."

The Northwest Military Region was furious upon learning that its backing had been destroyed.

He ordered an investigation to find out who had damaged the costumes for the performance.

Wen Ci and Yu Qing sat helplessly backstage.

Their long-awaited performance was ruined, and they felt an indescribable sadness because they had practiced dancing for more than two hours every day for nothing.

The audience returned to the playground after the lunch break.

"Have you heard? There's a thief in the military camp!!"

Holding the little monkey in her arms, Zhu Jing exclaimed in shock, "What?! There's a thief in the military camp?! How much money was stolen?"

"No money was stolen, but most of the costumes of the cultural troupe were cut to pieces. I heard from my husband that the higher-ups are trying to find out who did it."

"You didn't steal the clothes, you just damaged them?"

"OK."

Zhu Jing frowned and asked a probing question: "What was that thief's purpose? He didn't steal anything, he just tore up the clothes. What a strange thief."

·
Backstage, Su Wanqing, dressed in a beautiful dress, walked up to Yu Qing and said gloatingly, "I heard your water sleeve costumes were ruined? You're really unlucky. It seems I'll have to do it for the hospital."

Yu Qing couldn't help but wonder, "Did you ruin it by cutting it?"

Su Wanqing took two steps back: "Dr. Yu, please don't make false accusations. I didn't come to watch the performance this morning, let alone come to the military camp."

"Heh, then you're even more suspicious."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing shrugged. "Think what you want."

Suddenly, Yu Qing remembered something and sneered at Su Wanqing, mocking, "So what if you can perform on stage? Commander Huo isn't even in the Northwest Military Region; he's still lying down..."

Yu Qing realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately shut up. She glanced guiltily at Wen Ci, who looked calm and seemed to be thinking about something. She then changed her words:

"No matter how beautifully you dress, it won't help."

Su Wanqing's eyes widened. She had thought that Brother Huo would be able to see her performance from the audience, and her mood instantly plummeted.

"It's better than you not being able to get on stage at all."

Wen Ci sat to the side, pondering the suspects in the entire Northwest Military Region. From her personal perspective, both Jiang Ye and Su Wanqing were possibilities.

They like Huo Jingyuan and don't want to perform on stage themselves.

but……

Without surveillance, Wen Ci dared not rashly suspect anyone, and could only sigh and console herself, "I can only leave it to fate."

Not long after, Huang Qian, the group leader, brought over two sets of clothes. One set was the original water-sleeved uniform that had been soaked in water and was still wet, and the other set was altered.

"That set wasn't dry yet, and the sleeves of this set are different colors."

Wen Ci blinked: "Can I only choose from these two sets?!"

"OK."

Huang Qian's words were like a heavy blow, leaving Wen Ci breathless. None of these things were going well, and the stage effect was greatly diminished.

After hesitating for a while, Wen Ci chose the still-damp water sleeves. At least the long sleeves could be swung out and pulled back, and the wrinkled waist didn't affect her appearance.

"Me, me." Suddenly, a male voice rang out, and Xue Li ran into the backstage area, panting, carrying two pieces of clothing covered with dustproof cloth.

"you are?"

Xue Li took a deep breath: "I'm here to deliver the water-sleeved robe!"

As he spoke, he lifted the dust cover, revealing a white skirt with iridescent colors, over which he wore a blue vest.

The sleeves fall straight down to the waist, and it's clear to the naked eye that the material of this garment is extraordinary, radiating a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"What is this?" Wen Ci's eyes widened.

After a moment's pause, Xue Li said, "It was ordered by Brother Huo beforehand. He just had someone bring it over from Shanghai. I thought it wouldn't make it in time."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci recalled that Huo Jingyuan had mentioned a master tailor from a century-old family. He had offered to help her make contact, but she declined because she thought the price was too high.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jingyuan still contacted the master craftsman to do it.

Wen Ci reached out and gently stroked the flowing sleeves of the dress in front of her. The fabric was extremely soft and smooth, and she could already imagine what she would look like wearing it.

only……

Huo Jingyuan has gone on a mission!

Huang Qian's gaze fell on the clothes. As the head of the cultural troupe, she had seen too many high-quality clothes. These two water-sleeved dresses looked expensive.

"These must cost at least three hundred yuan each, right?"

Wen Ci shook his head in shock.

She didn't know the price of the two pieces of clothing.

Other female soldiers who were watching stepped forward one after another. Their wages were only about twenty yuan a month, and even if they didn't eat or drink, it would take them more than a year to save up enough to buy something.

Simply inhumane.

Yu Qing swallowed hard, her face flushed with embarrassment, and said, "Can I not wear it? Or can Wen Ci perform the finale by herself?"

"Why?" Wen Ci asked.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Wen Ci immediately realized that it was Huang Qian, the group leader, who had mentioned the price of the clothes. Yu Qing also thought it was too expensive and therefore didn't want to wear it.

Wen Ci took Yu Qing's hand, her eyes sparkling: "Since Huo Jingyuan asked someone to do two things, it means he hopes that you and I can complete the performance together."

Yu Qing, I hope you don't feel any pressure.

“But…but…” Yu Qing hesitated.

The total price of all her clothes from childhood to adulthood is not even one-tenth of the price of this flowing sleeve dress. It's such a waste to wear such an expensive dress.

"There are no 'buts'!" Wen Ci put on a stern face, looked her in the eye seriously, and said firmly, word by word, "We are teammates. If you really don't want to participate, then I won't participate either."

"This……"

·
On the parade ground, the families of the military personnel sat together.

Looking at the curtain closing on the stage, Zhu Jing said excitedly, "Is the next performance going to be Wen Ci's grand finale?"

"probably."

As Zhao Dongmei listened to her neighbors discussing Wen Ci, she lowered her head and smiled faintly. She was curious to see what the grand finale would be like!
The host walked onto the stage with a bright smile: "Our grand finale performance, the water sleeve dance, is about to begin. We need to add some decorations to the stage, so please look forward to it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Xue Li, standing below the stage, rallied the brothers of the Fifth Regiment to applaud and shouted, "With Regiment Commander Huo absent, we have to liven up the atmosphere for our sister-in-law!"
