Two days of classes concluded, and on Sunday evening, Qiu Xi packed her belongings and returned to school.
Upon returning, in addition to classes, she had accumulated a pile of assignments.
"Xiao Xi, can you start contacting the teachers now?"
On Sunday evening, it was rare for all four of them to be in the dormitory.
These four individuals were not together from Monday to Friday; they each went out to study in the library or find their teachers. In short, they rarely stayed in the dormitory.
As they were all present this evening and there were rumors from the department about contacting teachers, Song Daiyao brought it up with the others.
"Yes, I suppose we can," Qiu Xi had been busy lately and hadn't paid much attention to this matter.
However, hearing Song Daiyao mention it now, she became interested.
"Yanyan, Xiaofeifei, stop tapping away, come chat with us."
If they kept tapping, their fingers would turn into keyboards.
"Wait a moment..."
"Coming~"
"Xiao Xi and I were just discussing contacting the teachers. What do you guys think?"
"I think it's fine. Someone in my group mentioned a few days ago that they had already started contacting them," Shen Yan recalled what her group had discussed a couple of days prior and casually mentioned it.
"Yanyan, I heard something similar from Teacher Yang. Many people have already started contacting them."
"Then I'll message Old Yan too. If it's okay, it would be good to get this done sooner rather than later."
"Mhm." The three nodded seriously.
While they were talking, Qiu Xi sent a message.
Perhaps because he was busy, Yan Baitao saw the message and replied very quickly.
Qiu Xi looked at the message that came back immediately and nodded with a smile.
Then she put down her phone and spoke to the three of them.
"Old Yan said it's okay."
"And judging by his tone, we might be slightly late."
"But it's still just in time; the timing is perfect."
"Alright, in that case, let's all send our messages."
Hearing Qiu Xi, Song Daiyao readily nodded, wishing she could send her message right away.
"Oh, right!"
Remembering the matter they had discussed, Song Daiyao, who had just picked up her phone, looked at Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei, "Yanyan, Xiaofeifei, what's the result of your discussion about changing teachers?"
She had heard them discuss this matter later when she returned to the dormitory and hadn't heard any updates.
Mentioning it, Qiu Xi also remembered.
"Yes! Have you two decided?"
"About that, we've already decided. We were just too busy and forgot to tell you."
Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan exchanged a glance, then smiled and explained to the other two.
"Yes, we weighed the options back then. It was only a day's decision, and we didn't bring it up again after that."
"Then, when we got busy, we forgot to mention it again."
Although it was an important matter, they were busy with the end of their internship, and it didn't occur to them to mention it at the time.
By the time they finished and returned to school, they still thought they had already told them.
"Okay... So, are you planning to change?"
Not hearing the answer she wanted, Song Daiyao became a little anxious.
"Yes, we both feel that Teacher Ding's advice was quite right. We also discussed it with our families and ultimately decided to change."
"Mmm... That's good too~"
"Then, since we have time now, why don't we sit together and draft the emails?"
"Yes, we can!"
Song Daiyao's suggestion made the three of them nod in unison.
"Alright! I'll go get the laptops~"
"Okay."
Two minutes later, the four of them gathered around the dormitory table with their laptops and began drafting the emails.
"Hmm... Besides some background information, academic performance, what else should we elaborate on..."
Shen Yan sat there, muttering as she drafted her email.
"...Let's add some future plans."
"Right, if it's not clear enough, we can add a bit of our own insights. But if we can't express it well, it's safer not to."
If they said they didn't need it, it might seem boastful.
And if they weren't careful, they might even anger the teacher.
"Mhm, Xiao Xi has a point. If there's nothing else to fill it with, then write more about award certificates, competitions participated in, those kinds of concrete things. They won't be wrong to include."
"Okay, let's do that."
"Alright~"
The four of them went back and forth, adding to the template sentence by sentence.
It took less than an hour, and then their hands left the keyboards.
"Done. I don't think there are any problems."
Rubbing their slightly sore hands, Song Daiyao nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's take another look. As long as there are no issues."
It's always better to be cautious.
Even finding a typo would be good.
"Mhm..."
Muttering, she looked again.
"It's good!"
"I've finished reviewing it too!"
"Then... shall we send them?"
The four exchanged glances and then opened their email clients.
After a few more minutes of typing.
"Mmm!"
"Sent~"
"Finished!"
Putting down her mouse and looking away from the computer screen, Qiu Xi stretched.
"Alright, now we just wait for the teachers to reply."
"Mhm!"
With a major task completed, they leaned back in their chairs to rest.
"Let's get ready for bed first. I'm going to lie down as soon as possible."
After looking at the computer for so long, lying down would feel very comfortable.
"Mmm~ If only I could take a bath~"
Squinting and tilting her head back, Shen Yan particularly missed her bathtub at home.
"You're already beautiful, no need to wish for more beauty~"
"Hahahaha~"
"Yanyan, hurry up and get ready, wash up, and get into bed."
Shen Yan's expression stiffened, "No, I still have to revise my thesis..."
She couldn't disobey the teacher's words, especially regarding graduation, so she couldn't be careless.
She still had to endure!
"......"
"Me too..."
Liang Yunfei also said helplessly.
If she didn't want to stare at her thesis all day, she wouldn't have gone to the company.
But she still had to look at what needed to be looked at...
"Alright, enough talk."
"Go wash up quickly!"
If they delayed any longer, they would have to squeeze in to wash.
"Okay, I won't say anymore. I'll go first." Shen Yan dawdled for a moment before getting up to grab her clothes and head to the bathroom.
"Then let's get ready too."
"Mhm."
