"I read your article yesterday, it was fantastic!"
"Um," Han Mingyue's cheeks flushed slightly as she responded softly.
"Have you written any new drafts? Are you going to continue submitting to 'Children's Literature'?"
Han Mingyue hesitated a bit, "Haven't thought about it yet, nor have I started writing."
Yesterday, Mr. Fang, the language teacher, immediately called Han Mingyue to his office upon hearing the news, saying he could tell it was a sample issue by its size.
So there, in the office, Han Mingyue opened the envelope and handed the sample issue to Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang directly spread it open to the page that featured Han Mingyue's article, pointing at the neatly printed text on the journal, he spoke earnestly: "Everyone says that the beginning is the hardest, but I think 'perseverance' is even harder! What are your plans regarding writing?"
"None at the moment," Han Mingyue replied as she took the sample issue from Mr. Fang.
