Karina is truly a wonderful teacher. She doesn't use her knowledge to restrict her students' thinking. She doesn't put herself in the position of a teacher, but rather as a friend to her students, growing together with them.
The same applies now. She doesn't impose her own ideas on Wei Yu based on her experience, but instead expresses her understanding and asks Wei Yu if she agrees.
"Yes, teacher, you still understand me so well."
Wei Yu smiled, a deeper and sweeter smile. Her protective shell was completely removed in front of Karina. She would not show her cold and aloof side to her mentor, Karina.
Karina has many students, and she treats them all equally well. But she seems to treat Wei Yu differently. Perhaps they are similar; their stubbornness when they were young is exactly the same.
Karina began, “Child, I was heartbroken when you insisted on returning to China a year ago. I felt you shouldn’t have given up on the path you had already paved, because returning to China meant starting all over again, which takes a lot of courage. But now, I think your choice was right. No matter where you are, your future is bright, and you can fly higher and farther.”
During the year that Wei Yu returned to China, in addition to her regular work, she also used her spare time to participate in several influential fashion competitions, appearing on stages both at home and abroad.
When Wei Yu recalled what happened a year ago, her heart ached slightly, a bitter taste mixed with pain. If she could choose for herself, she might not have come back, but she had no choice but to come back and start over. "Teacher, I know my choice a year ago hurt you. That path was paved by you and me, but I left halfway. It's something I can't let go of, but I had to go. I'm sorry."
A year later, although there was regret, Wei Yu's tone was no longer so helpless. She spoke very calmly, but beneath the calm was the rising tide, surging again and again.
Karina sighed softly, her beautiful blue eyes gazing intently at Wei Yu as she comforted her, "Child, you don't need to apologize to me. We're not just teacher and student, we're also good friends. I understand you, I understand your heart. You have your choices, and that's for the best. Look at these two shows; they're the best scenery you've shown me. I've always been so proud to have such a thoughtful student like you. I have many students, but you've impressed me the most. You're special, you're confident, you're perfect. When you were in school, you were my muse. Sometimes, just seeing you would give me such romantic and perfect inspiration. Child, you should be happy."
"Really?"
Wei Yu was incredulous. She never thought she was anything special, much less perfect. The reason she embarked on her studies abroad was entirely because of him. Sometimes, looking into Karina's deep blue eyes, she felt that what she carefully hid was easily seen through.
As her respect and affection for the teacher grew, she became more worried that she would leave an imperfect impression.
That night, Karina and Wei Yu talked a lot, from Chinese to English and back again. Their voices, like the most beautiful melody, intertwined in the evening breeze, flying farther and farther away, freer and freer, accompanied by the fragrance of lavender.
