During the college entrance examination, I studied very hard. After failing the test in my previous life, I deeply realized that a diploma is still very important in today's society.

This is the most direct way for ordinary people to change their destiny.

And it is the life-saving straw that I must grasp.

On the day of the college entrance examination, I left home one hour early. But when I arrived at the entrance of the examination room, I was dumbfounded.

The admission ticket was missing!

It's impossible. I just checked it last night. How could it disappear?

My heart started beating rapidly. I couldn't repeat the failure of my previous life.

I forced myself to calm down and found a police officer wearing a fluorescent uniform in the crowd. I explained my situation to him.

He immediately took me to find the examination staff and contacted my new homeroom teacher. After explaining the situation, he told me not to panic, to enter the examination room first, and let the homeroom teacher handle the matter of the admission ticket.

Even when sitting in the examination room, I still had a dazed feeling. This sudden incident greatly affected my mood. Various scenes unconsciously started playing in my mind.

No, I can't continue like this.

I picked up the water bottle on the table and took a big sip of water. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed myself for ten seconds. Then, I opened my eyes and entered the state of the exam.

The test questions occupied my mind, and I immersed myself in writing the paper. I heaved a sigh of relief.

This hurdle is over.

After leaving the school gate, I went straight back home.

There was no one at home. I dropped my school bag and started searching every corner of the house, the trash cans in the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom...

But I didn't find what I was looking for.

I sat on the couch.

Could it be that I was just overthinking?

Suddenly, my gaze was drawn to a black bag at the entrance. It stored the garbage that was supposed to be thrown away that day. Occasionally, people would forget to take it out, causing the trash to remain in place.

I stood up and tremblingly opened the trash bag, emptying its contents onto the floor.

In a bundle of tissue, I found what I was looking for.

The admission ticket.

Looking at the admission ticket wrapped in shreds of tissue, all the strength seemed to drain out of my body. I slumped on the ground.

Mom...

She actually hates me this much.
