Seeing the worried expression on Teacher Liu's face, Shen Zhihuan's smile gradually faded.
For some unknown reason, her mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
Outside the door.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but it's been so many years, Lao Wang, you still can't get over that hurdle in your heart."
Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian stood side by side at the office door.
These two veteran military doctors, who were highly respected and experienced in the army, looked as nervous and awkward as primary school students.
After being teased by his old friend, Old Master Wang couldn't help but frown, his expression extremely awkward.
"What do you know? Between me and Teacher Liu... sigh, let's not talk about the past, let's just talk about the present. I haven't seen Teacher Liu for so many years, and she still has the same elegance."
“Unlike me, I’m already an old man with a face full of wrinkles, and I feel embarrassed to stand next to her.”
Old Master Wang looked sad and thought to himself that maybe he should just let it go.
The two haven't been in contact for so long, it would be too intrusive and presumptuous for him to come here so abruptly. It would be better to just pretend he never came.
I was hesitating whether to avoid running into Teacher Liu later.
Grandpa Wang turned his head and glanced out the window, only to see that Shen Zhihuan and Teacher Liu's expressions were quite strange, as if they were in a very awkward position.
These two people are both very calm and composed; they would never be like this unless something major happened.
Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian exchanged a glance, then, not caring about anything else, quickly pushed open the door and went inside.
"Zhihuan, why do you all look so upset? What happened?"
Grandpa Wang spoke softly, concerned about Shen Zhihuan's condition, while turning his head away to avoid Teacher Liu's gaze.
Teacher Liu was preoccupied with Shen Zhihuan's student status and didn't even glance at them.
She gripped Shen Zhihuan's hand tighter and tighter, her voice extremely solemn.
"Zhihuan, tell me honestly, did you not go to university?"
"Your teacher clearly told you before that you don't need to worry about the fees at all. Whenever you need it, I can help you pay the tuition in advance..."
The more concerned Teacher Liu was about her condition, the more heartbroken Shen Zhihuan felt.
She suppressed the helplessness in her heart and explained:
"Teacher, it's not that I don't want to go to university, but that I have let you down. I didn't even pass the college entrance exam."
"That's impossible!"
Teacher Liu interrupted her in a daze, her face filled with disbelief.
"When you took the college entrance exam, you did not perform well and your score was a bit low, but fortunately, there was one school that we could still get into among the choices we filled out in advance."
“I saw the admission notice from Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, and I even called the teachers there after the semester started to confirm that a student named Shen Zhihuan had indeed enrolled.”
"I saw and heard all of this with my own eyes and ears, and Zhihuan, your student record has already been transferred, so there's absolutely no way it could be wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhihuan's expression instantly changed.
"How could this happen... When I took the college entrance exam, I suddenly caught a cold and had a high fever, and I couldn't find my rhythm for several days."
“I thought I would never pass the exam, so when my parents came back and told me that I had failed, I didn’t doubt them at all, and I didn’t even think about looking for the admission notice.”
"Now that I think about it carefully, I realize there must be something wrong with this. If there wasn't something fishy going on, how could someone have secretly transferred my student record without my permission?"
Shen Zhihuan squeezed her eyes shut, her emotions a complex mix of emotions.
In her past life, she always believed that she had performed poorly in the college entrance examination, which led to her failing the exam.
Only after being reborn and communicating with Teacher Liu about everything did I realize that it wasn't that she was unmotivated.
Instead, someone deliberately wanted to ruin her life.
Shen Zhihuan's hands, hanging by her sides, slowly clenched, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"Someone actually went to school in my place without my knowledge."
Not only her, but Teacher Liu and the two old men were also shocked when they heard this.
Teacher Liu knows best how difficult Chen Zhihuan's life has been over the years, having watched him grow up since he was a child.
She was unaware that Shen Zhihuan had severed ties with the Shen family and assumed she was still trapped in that terrible family of origin.
For someone like Shen Zhihuan, who has no social standing or background, the best way to change her situation is to study hard, obtain a good degree, and thereby cross social classes.
Teacher Liu really couldn't believe that someone would hate Shen Zhihuan so much that they would steal her student status and not even give her this little chance to change her fate.
"This matter must be investigated."
"Zhihuan, your teacher will stand up for you in this matter. We must find out the truth and not let you suffer this injustice!"
Teacher Liu's emotions were so turbulent that she couldn't help but cough violently as she spoke.
His body swayed unsteadily, and he almost lost his balance.
Immersed in anger and grief, Shen Zhihuan was quite startled to see her like this.
But before she could go forward, Grandpa Wang stepped forward first and steadily supported Teacher Liu's arm.
"You've worried too much about your students all these years, and your health hasn't been very good. You need to take better care of yourself and control your emotions."
He gave a few worried words of advice, then turned and exchanged a glance with Old Master Tian.
The two elders had the same angry look in their eyes, and their tone of voice when speaking to Shen Zhihuan was particularly firm.
“Teacher Liu is right, Zhihuan. You are our apprentice, and we absolutely cannot let you suffer such a great injustice.”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. I want to see who has the audacity to do something as unauthorized as someone else in school!"
With the help of Grandpa Wang, Teacher Liu regained her balance. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, she unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.
She stared wide-eyed in shock at the faces of Old Master Wang and Old Master Tian for a long while before asking incredulously.
"Old Wang, Old Tian? Zhihuan's master is actually you?"
Just moments ago, Grandpa Wang had been all domineering, but after being asked that question by Teacher Liu, he instantly became as flustered as a young boy.
He was afraid that he might say too much and make a mistake, or do something too rash in the excitement of reuniting with an old friend, so he simply nodded and gave a nonchalant "hmm".
Teacher Liu was genuinely surprised. She stared at the two of them carefully for a while before finally speaking up with a sigh:
"We've both aged so much over the years. If your voice hadn't sounded familiar just now, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Old Master Wang's lips moved, as if he wanted to say that in his heart, she was still as beautiful and elegant as when they first met.
But given their current status and relationship, it's really inappropriate for them to say these things.
