The first semester of my senior year was a season of harvest, a time when the divisions of fate became strikingly clear. My Study Abroad Application was progressing exceptionally well. With an impeccable resume, I received offers from several top universities around the world, including the Ivy League school that I had longed for in my last life but had missed out on for various reasons.
Holding the acceptance letter adorned with a golden school emblem, my eyes brimmed with tears. It was not sadness, but joy and relief. All the regrets from my last life found their resolution in this moment.
My parents threw a small celebration party for me. Seeing their proud and content smiles, and watching my friend Zhang Qi genuinely happy for me, I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment. My life was finally firmly in my own hands.
Yet, while I basked in light and hope, Lu Ze's life spiraled into an irretrievable abyss. The last straw for him was an important national examination. The results of this exam directly affected his chances of entering certain institutional positions, which had always been his father's expectation for him.
Perhaps previous failures had completely shattered his confidence, or perhaps he was too eager to make a comeback; Lu Ze made an extremely foolish and irreversible decision—he attempted to cheat. He purchased so-called "exam answers" through dubious channels at a high price and prepared cheating tools.
However, he clearly underestimated the strictness of national examinations. His clumsy cheating was caught by the proctor shortly after the exam began. He was caught red-handed with irrefutable evidence.
Cheating in a national examination is an extremely serious violation. The consequences were predictable. Not only was he immediately disqualified from the exam with a score of zero, but more severely, this blemish would be recorded in the national integrity database. This meant that it would be nearly impossible for him to enter any institutional position through legitimate means in the future; even many large companies would reject him during background checks.
When the news spread back to the school, it caused an uproar. Previously, there had been only declining grades and disciplinary warnings—embarrassing but seemingly redeemable. But cheating in such a crucial national examination was tantamount to self-sabotage.
The school quickly made a decision: Lu Ze would be placed on probation, nearly facing expulsion. His father, President Lu, who had always taken pride in his son, was furious upon hearing the news and smashed a cup in anger. He rushed to the school and for the first time did not defend his son; instead, he scolded him harshly. His disappointment in Lu Ze was palpable. It was said that they had a fierce argument, and their relationship hit rock bottom.
Once a promising talent at Lu University, Lu Ze had now become someone everyone avoided like a rat crossing the street. His "true love," Lin Weiwei, upon learning of his cheating scandal and hopeless future, finally revealed her true colors.
She did not cry or vow to stand by him as she had before; instead, she quickly distanced herself from Lu Ze. She publicly stated that she had no knowledge of his cheating and expressed her "deep disappointment and disdain" for his dishonest behavior. Then she swiftly deleted all social media posts related to him as if he had never existed in her life.
Ironically, it wasn't long before people saw Lin Weiwei frequently associating with another well-off student from the academy who had a bright future ahead. The speed at which she moved on was truly astonishing.
"What a plastic flower sisterhood... No, it's more like plastic lovers!" Zhang Qi remarked upon hearing the news, unable to hold back his sarcasm. "They were madly in love before; now that he has no value to offer, she's running faster than anyone!"
I could only smile faintly. Wasn't this outcome expected? Lin Weiwei had always been after Lu Ze's aura and benefits. Once those disappeared, she naturally sought out her next host.
Lu Ze could never have imagined that the so-called "true love" he chose over me would ultimately discard him like a piece of trash.
Truly, what goes around comes around; the heavens spare no one.
