The night before the English Public Speaking Competition, Lu Chuwan called Xu Wei and apologized to her on behalf of her mother. Xu Wei accepted her apology and ordered a dress for her from Kimorty at the end of the day. After all, Lu Chuwan was her niece and she had been taking care of her since she was a kid.
The school had specifically turned a few classrooms in the art building into dressing rooms for participants and tasked teachers to prepare them and change their attire.
Lu Chuwan and Fu Zhi were assigned to the same dressing room.
Xu Tongtong kept her company as she waited for her dress in front of a vanity.
Fu Zhi had not shown up yet.
"I heard that not only are the students in that small town bad at their studies, but their English teachers also speak informal English. It sounds very weird and funny, and perhaps that's the reason Fu Zhi did not show up. She's ashamed."
