Director Wang thought for a moment, then said to Xia Chuyi, "I don’t recall receiving your admission notice..."
"Right, there were two times when students arrived early, and I had to step away for a bit. I hadn’t had the chance to check the notices that had come in first, so I let the students flip through them themselves..."
Realizing that there were indeed gaps in his work, Director Wang said, "Let me take you to have a look."
Upon inspection, Director Wang found that there indeed was no admission notice for Xia Chuyi.
Director Wang’s face became somber: the matter couldn’t be clearly explained as to whether someone else had claimed it or not. He said, "Here’s what we’ll do, Xia Chuyi, I’ll still issue you a proof certificate, and you go ahead and register."
"If the admission notice does arrive, I’ll give it to you."
"If it has indeed been claimed by someone else, I will make sure to investigate this thoroughly!"
After receiving the certificate, the two left the school.
"Hey, Chuyi, if Director Wang doesn’t know about this, how could the impersonator alter the information on the records?" Qian Qianqian suddenly asked with curiosity.
Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Oh, there are plenty of ways to go about it."
"During file transfer, in the mail, upon arrival at school... Wait, why are you asking this? Are you thinking of taking over someone else’s spot at university?"
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!" Qian Qianqian hurriedly replied, "I would never do such a despicable thing! Only people like Liu Chunya could stoop to that!"
"Speaking of Liu Chunya, let’s go and settle the score with her!"
After saying that, she quickly dragged her toward Liu Chunya’s home—they both had known each other since childhood and knew where the other lived.
Before they even reached the Liu family’s residence, they ran into Liu Chunya, who was heading out.
However, as soon as Liu Chunya saw them, she turned and ran.
Tall and leggy Qian Qianqian, leaving Xia Chuyi behind, ran after her, "Liu Chunya, stop right there!"
Liu Chunya, who wasn’t as physically fit as Qian Qianqian, was caught after running just a few steps.
"Qian Qianqian, you crazy woman, why are you chasing me?" As soon as she was caught, Liu Chunya tried to play the victim first.
"Hey, Liu Chunya, if you didn’t do anything wrong, if you have nothing to hide, why did you run?" Qian Qianqian wasn’t afraid of her and stood her ground.
"I, what did I do?" Liu Chunya avoided her gaze and turned her head, but she then met Xia Chuyi who had come over, "You, don’t come any closer, I didn’t take your admission notice!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Chunya’s face turned pale.
Xia Chuyi, who had come over panting, raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Seeing that she couldn’t hide anything, Liu Chunya had to confess.
"I... I just can’t stand you! Why should you get into university? You were terrible back in your freshman year!"
"You must have used some means, cheated or something; you definitely didn’t get into university fair and square!"
Liu Chunya started off feeling guilty, but as she spoke, she became more defiant.
"Hmph, if it weren’t for cheating, there’s no way you would have gotten in! So I took your admission notice, what about it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Qianqian, upon hearing this, was itching to tear her apart.
Xia Chuyi held back Qian Qianqian and asked Liu Chunya, "You don’t need to give me the whole backstory, I don’t want to hear it, I just want to know, where is the admission notice?"
Upon hearing that, Liu Chunya mumbled, "I don’t know."
"Liu Chunya, you stole the admission notice and you say you don’t know?" Qian Qianqian said angrily.
Then, at that moment, Liu Chunya plainly admitted defeat, insolently saying, "I just don’t know, and even if I say it a thousand or ten thousand times, I still won’t know!"
