"We're out. We only have four sleeveless dresses in total. Two of them are still soaking in water, and we were planning to wash and dry them all together after the tour performance tonight."
The touring art troupe always stayed at the local military region for a day or two after a performance to dry all the costumes before leaving.
"Is there enough time to wring them out and dry them now?"
"There's not enough time…"
The sleeveless dresses needed to be air-dried. If you wring them out, the whole garment gets wrinkled, especially the sleeves. It would ruin the visual effect when they're brandished.
Huang Qian calmed herself down. "Let's try it first. If it really doesn't work, we'll find another garment and sew long sleeves onto it. We'll have to cancel the drum part for now."
The Northwest Military Region command was furious when they learned the backstage area had been vandalized.
They issued an order to find out who destroyed the performance costumes.
