I was in a state of panic.
Dad comforted me, "Ziheng, don't worry, I'll find a way."
I shook my head, "It's too late; the exam is tomorrow."
Dad thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You go to the exam venue, and I'll talk to the principal."
I was puzzled, "What do you need to talk to the principal for?"
Dad smiled, "Just leave it to me; I have my ways."
The next morning, I arrived at the exam venue early.
He Ying saw me and asked with concern, "How's it going? Did you find your exam admission ticket?"
I shook my head, "No."
He Ying frowned, "What are we going to do?"
As the exam time approached, Dad arrived just in time with special approval documents, and I entered the exam room.
During the exam, I kept a calm mindset and performed normally.
After finishing the test, I walked out of the exam room.
Dad was waiting for me outside.
"Ziheng, how did it go?"
I smiled, "It was okay."
Dad sighed in relief, "That's good."
When we got home, Mom had already prepared dinner.
Sister and Jiang Zihuan were watching TV in the living room.
Seeing us return, Mom smiled and asked, "How was it? Are you tired?"
I shook my head, "Not tired."
Mom nodded, "That's good; hurry up and wash your hands for dinner."
I nodded and went to wash my hands.
When I came out after washing my hands, I saw Jiang Zihuan talking to Dad.
Dad's face was pale with anger, and Sister didn't look much better.
Mom hurried over and asked, "What happened?"
"Ziheng's admission ticket was taken by him."
"Mom, I'm sorry! Please give me another chance!"
Mom looked at him and said calmly, "I've already given you a chance; you didn't cherish it."
Jiang Zihuan's tears fell: "Mom, I really know I was wrong; I won't do it again."
Mom shook her head: "Jiang Zihuan, you've disappointed me too much."
I frowned but remained silent.
I suspected it was him when I couldn't find my exam admission ticket. However, before I could take action, my dad noticed something was off.
That evening, when I returned to my room, I messaged He Ying.
"What are you doing?"
He Ying quickly replied, "Thinking of you."
I blushed and said, "Smooth talker."
"I mean it."
"I know."
He Ying asked, "How did you do on the exam?"
"Not bad, how about you?"
"I'm doing well too."
"That's good."
"How did you resolve your admission ticket issue?"
"My dad helped me with it."
He Ying asked, "How did he do that?"
I replied, "I don't know either."
"Alright then."
The results for the college entrance exam came out, and I scored 689 points. He Ying scored 702 points. We were both accepted into the same dream school.
On the day we received our acceptance letters, I was overjoyed. My parents were also very happy. My sister envied us as well. The only one who looked at us with increasing malice was Jiang Zihuan. On his 18th birthday, our parents made him move out of our house.
On the first day of school, my dad took me to campus. I walked into the school with He Ying. He Ying looked at me and smiled gently, "Ziheng, we're in the same school again." I smiled back, "Yeah."
Over the four years of college, He Ying and I grew closer. Jiang Zihuan never returned even once. My mom occasionally mentioned him, but she didn't say much.
My sister has been promoted to Director, has a boyfriend, and is preparing for marriage.
Mom and Dad are getting ready to retire; they plan to travel the world.
My sister's wedding will be held at the end of the year, and the Groom's Family is wealthy and treats her well.
I graduated and started looking for a job.
He Ying also found a job, and we plan to get engaged.
Many years later, I accidentally heard news about Jiang Zihuan.
It is said that during the years he was hiding, he was working to earn money.
He found a job as a waiter, serving dishes and washing plates every day.
Later, he met a girl.
That girl came from a single-parent family and was in poor circumstances.
After they got together, the girl became pregnant.
Jiang Zihuan was very happy; he wanted to provide a good living environment for the child, so he worked hard to earn more money.
However, what he didn't expect was that the girl betrayed him.
The girl ended up with a rich second-generation heir.
Jiang Zihuan was in pain; he wanted to reclaim his love.
But he couldn't compete with the rich heir.
He was injured and lay in a hospital bed.
The girl came to see him, crying as she said, "I'm sorry, Jiang Zihuan; I don't deserve you."
Jiang Zihuan's face was pale as he replied, "You don't need to apologize; I don't deserve you."
The girl left in tears.
Jiang Zihuan lay in the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, a tear rolling down his cheek.
After hearing Jiang Zihuan's story, I had no significant reaction.
To me, he had already become a stranger.
Whether he was doing well or poorly had nothing to do with me anymore.
