Chapter 404 - 403: Gu Yunzhou Dreams of His Past Life
She yelled that she wanted to escape.
But in the end, she was caught by the police and taken away.
Quite a few people saw it at the time, and although everyone thought, given the earlier incident with Wen Zhqing, it was still possible that such impersonation to attend university could occur.
However, no one expected it to happen so soon, right in front of them.
Of course, Wang Meiqi wasn’t the only one caught that day.
There were a few others as well.
This also shows that in this era, schools weren’t strict enough in verifying student information, leaving loopholes, which resulted in such impersonations happening.
Fortunately, fortunately, the government promptly discovered these loopholes and strictly investigated them.
Otherwise, if someone could attend university through impersonation, if someone could reap the results of others’ years of hard study by pretending, it would be too unfair.
Thus, seeing these people arrested, everyone cheered and applauded.
And of course, news of these events spread quickly.
"Are you saying that Wang Wei Qi impersonated her cousin’s spot at university, and in fact, her name is Wang Meiqi?"
"Yes, that’s exactly it, and she has already been taken away."
The person speaking was a roommate who usually got along well with Gu Yunzhou.
He knew full well that Gu Yunzhou had always been harassed by Wang Wei Qi.
Thus, upon hearing this, he immediately went to tell Gu Yunzhou.
"From now on, you won’t have to suffer harassment from Wang Wei Qi—no, Wang Meiqi."
"I just didn’t expect that Wang Meiqi was so bold to impersonate someone else’s university spot, and remained so arrogant and high-profile at school, tsk tsk."
Gu Yunzhou was indifferent to Wang Wei Qi—no, to Wang Meiqi.
Thus, her matters had nothing to do with him.
However, indeed, Wang Meiqi being arrested gave Gu Yunzhou some relief.
Moreover, since she was caught for impersonating someone else’s university spot, her arrest was deserved.
Gu Yunzhou wasn’t much concerned with Wang Wei Qi’s issues.
He was more focused on the issue of impersonation.
He thought, even in Beijing University there have been several cases, and he believed it must be significant in other colleges too.
He hoped that this cleanup would allow those who had been impersonated to reclaim what was theirs.
Gu Yunzhou imagined that if his university spot at Beijing University was impersonated, whether he knew or didn’t know about it.
The impact on his life would be enormous.
It might even change his destiny.
In fact, Gu Yunzhou was correct; this time the upper-level authorities conducted a nationwide college cleanup, almost every college was found with cases of impersonation.
Those who impersonated were naturally captured.
And those who were impersonated received notifications.
Most of these people didn’t even know they had actually been admitted.
They thought that since they hadn’t received an acceptance letter, they hadn’t passed.
They even contemplated whether to continue trying or switch careers.
But upon learning they were impersonated, and that they could return to the university they were admitted to, these people and their families were in tears.
They were incredibly grateful to the government for intervening.
Because this issue was so grand, it required government intervention, affecting colleges nationwide.
And in recent years, the hottest topic has been the restoration of the college entrance examination.
Thus, newspapers across various regions covered this issue.
The official personnel from the government immediately condemned those who impersonated others and stated they would severely punish them and those who helped them impersonate.
Additionally, they required all colleges to strictly verify applicants’ information in future admissions to ensure consistency.
Of course, the occurrence of impersonation is due to oversight in college admissions.
Therefore, colleges must compensate those who were impersonated.
With the government stating this, could the colleges refuse?
Of course, they couldn’t.
So, they all took compensatory actions as well.
Over on Gu Yunzhou’s side, perhaps because this issue was much discussed during the day.
By nighttime, Gu Yunzhou even had a dream.
In his dream, he was admitted to Beijing University, and at his moment of being overjoyed, his younger sister knelt before him, pleading with him to give his university spot to Wen Zhqing.
Gu Yunzhou did not know what he felt at that moment.
But in the end, he could not refuse the request of his younger sister, whom he had loved so dearly for so many years.
In the dream, he eventually gave the spot to Wen Zhqing.
Wen Zhqing took his university spot, naturally went to college, while he...
His life seemed to darken from that moment on...
In the dormitory bed, Gu Yunzhou suddenly opened his eyes.
Even though he knew it was just a dream, but...
Gu Yunzhou placed his hand on his chest, and he could still feel the sadness, despair, and hopelessness about life from the dream.
It took him a while to calm his emotions.
"It’s just a dream, besides, my younger sister is with Ze Xi, not interested in Wen Zhqing."
"Moreover, Wen Zhqing is already dead."
Gu Yunzhou mumbled to comfort himself, finally calmed down, and fell back into a deep sleep.
This dream, on a Sunday a few days later, Gu Yunzhou mentioned it as a joke to Gu Jia Ning when visiting her at the courtyard house.
He told it to Gu Jia Ning as a joke.
"...You’re telling me this dream is too absurd, younger sister, how could you possibly do such a thing? My younger sister cares so much about her third brother."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gu Jia Ning suddenly froze.
Her nose tingled, and her eyes reddened.
Gu Jia Ning did not expect her third brother would have such a dream.
She longed to tell him that in the previous life, this did happen.
And she did ask him to give his university spot to Wen Zhqing, which altered his entire life.
"Hey, younger sister, why are you crying?"
"Is it because of the dream I told you?"
"Oh, it’s all my fault. Even if it’s just a dream, you couldn’t possibly do such a thing."
"Younger sister, don’t cry, don’t cry, if you cry, your third brother will cry too."
As soon as Gu Yunzhou saw Gu Jia Ning crying, he immediately panicked and felt heartache.
At that moment, Gu Jia Ning only realized she was actually crying.
She held her third brother’s hand and choked out, "Third brother, I—I didn’t mean to cry, I just—I just thought of that scene, and I couldn’t hold back."
"I think if I really did such a thing, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself for a lifetime, no, two lifetimes."
"How could I make things difficult for my third brother, who loves me so much, for an outsider?"
"That version of me would be truly ungrateful."
Gu Yunzhou immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe away Gu Jia Ning’s tears, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s just a dream."
