"Yeah." Gu Shuangshuang pointed towards her bunk bed, "Do you see that file folder?"
Filled with joy, An Hao opened the file folder, only to be disheartened when she didn't find the magazine she had been hoping for.
What she saw was a thick stack of paper manuscripts, along with a return letter.
Seeing these items, An Hao had a pretty good guess about what had happened.
Her paper had been rejected by the journal.
It seemed that both she and Teacher Yan Ye had overestimated themselves!
"How did it go?" Gu Shuangshuang noticed her downcast expression and leaned in to ask, "Were you rejected?"
Though An Hao didn't want to admit it, the evidence was right before her eyes. Despite feeling upset, she had no choice but to accept the truth.
"Yes, it was rejected."
As soon as An Hao uttered these words, the air in the dorm room seemed to freeze.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for quite a while.
The outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
