Chu Qingzhi said, "Your teacher's birthday cannot be neglected. Let's properly package the gifts before delivering them."

Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, and Chu Qingshuang said in unison, "We want to learn too!"
There was a slight awkwardness in the air.
Shen Ruyue timidly added, "Can I join too?"
Ge Lihua, Chu Qingyan, and Hong Yujun looked at each other and said in unison, "If everyone is learning, then we'll learn too."
