Tuesday morning, Lin Family's study in Xiangtai Apartment.
Lin Jie clicked "send," and seeing the "successfully sent" prompt on the computer screen, he inexplicably felt his body relax.
The research project that took more than half a year is finally over.
He turned his head to look out the window and noticed thin streams of water sliding down the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window.
It's raining.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Lin Jie picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Xiang Rong.
Answering the call, he couldn't help but ask, "Editor Xiang, have you been waiting for my email 24 hours a day?"
"You said it. Our submission deadline is the 25th of the month, and now it's already November 2nd."
Xiang Rong complained, "I've been unable to eat well or sleep well these past few days, checking my phone every half hour for email notifications, afraid I'd miss your email."
"This special issue, missing anyone's article is fine, but not yours."
