Chapter 154 Reunion
Chapter 155 Reunion
Although Fang Qing and Zhang Han were both members of the school's painting club, Zhang Han had a strange personality and didn't participate in many club activities. After that unpleasant incident, Zhang Han moved out of the school, and Fang Qing saw him even less often.
Fang Qing also learned some news about Zhang Han from other students in the painting club. Before, he only heard that he participated in many competitions and had become famous. Some people even said that Zhang Han had learned from a famous teacher and had started to hold personal exhibitions.
Fang Qing just listened to the news and didn't take it to heart. Whether he was doing well or not was his own business. Moreover, in Fang Qing's opinion, Zhang Han was indeed very talented and it was only a matter of time before he became successful.
I just didn't expect to meet you here today.
At this time, Zhang Han was no longer the boy with long hair and gloomy eyes in his freshman year.
Today he was wearing a well-ironed suit, with neatly trimmed hair, revealing a handsome face. His warm smile made people feel good about him, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, making him look gentle and refined.
He stood beside Qiu Yulin, and shook hands and talked with the visitor very politely. He was completely different from the boy he used to be.
Wen Ning took Fang Qing's hand and walked forward to say hello. Qiu Yulin was very happy to see them and introduced his apprentice to Wen Ning. After learning that the three of them knew each other, he marveled at the wonder of fate.
Fang Qing listened quietly, and saw from the corner of her eye that Zhang Han was always smiling politely, but she always felt that there was a hint of disdain behind his narrow eyes.
During the break in the restaurant, Qiu Yulin suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Did Miss Fang know me before?"
Seeing Fang Qing's surprise, Qiu Yulin explained that he always felt that Fang Qing had a grudge against him when they first met.
Fang Qing didn't expect that the only time she revealed her emotions, he would be so sensitive to it. Thinking about what she had learned about Qiu Yulin during this period, he really didn't seem like someone who could harm her sister, but for the sake of caution, Fang Qing didn't tell the truth.
"I met a teacher before. Coincidentally, that teacher's last name was also Qiu, so when I heard your name, I was a little curious."
Qiu Yulin's face suddenly changed. "She's also surnamed Qiu? Does she have a square face, big eyes, and loves to laugh? Is her name Zhou Yufang?"
His excited look startled Fang Qing, who couldn't help but take two steps back, "Mr. Qiu, are you okay?"
Qiu Yulin realized his current situation, lowered his eyes and sighed, "I'm sorry to scare you. I have a long-lost sister named Qiu Yufang, who is a painting genius. We had some misunderstandings back then, and I've been looking for her for decades, but there has been no news of her, so I was a little excited just now, sorry to embarrass you."
Seeing his face full of vicissitudes and sorrow, Fang Qing became more and more confused. Was there really a misunderstanding back then? So Teacher Qiu deliberately avoided her brother? Fang Qing hesitated whether to tell him the truth, but suddenly the disfigured face of Teacher Qiu in the previous life appeared in her mind, and Fang Qing suddenly woke up.
No! I can't tell you yet. After all, this matter concerns Teacher Qiu. I still need to ask her attitude first.
Qiu Yulin, who was standing by, was still wiping away tears and recalling the past. "My sister introduced me to painting. She is not only my relative, but also my life mentor. But there are too many misunderstandings between us. I am old now, and I don't know if I can see her again in my lifetime. I am afraid that I will never be able to resolve those misunderstandings in this lifetime..."
The man in front of him looked so sad that it was hard to bear. Fang Qing was struggling in his heart, wondering whether to reveal some information to him. But when he saw Zhang Han coming over, Fang Qing suddenly had a clear mind and said, "I'm sorry, I only met that teacher once, and I don't know the details."
Hearing this, Qiu Yulin sighed in disappointment, "It doesn't matter, maybe no news is good news. As long as I'm alive, I'll find her. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
After returning from the art exhibition, Fang Qing brought up the matter with Wen Ning, "You said... should I tell Teacher Qiu that his brother is looking for her?"
Wen Ning knew that Teacher Qiu was very important to Fang Qing, and it was unlikely that he would ask Fang Qing not to interfere.
"After all, this is a matter between their relatives. It's best not to say anything before your teacher's approval. If you really want to do something, you might as well write her a letter first. As for what to do, it depends on your teacher's decision."
Fang Qing knew Teacher Qiu’s contact information, so he wrote a letter that day. In less than half a month, he received a reply from Teacher Qiu.
In the letter, Teacher Qiu said that she lived a very comfortable life in the south. Although life was a bit hard, at least she was free. She also told Fang Qing not to listen to others and to study hard.
Fang Qing was very well behaved and never mentioned Teacher Qiu again. He would only occasionally buy some cakes and clothes and send them over secretly.
But Fang Qingwan never expected that that winter, Qiu Yulin actually found Teacher Qiu Yufang through his own efforts!
That day, Fang Qing was about to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some things after class when she suddenly received a call from Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu seemed very happy on the phone and asked Fang Qing to meet him at the coffee shop he often went to, saying that there was a surprise waiting for her.
But Fang Qing was stunned when he entered the coffee shop. The white-haired old man with a shawl sitting in front of the window, wasn’t he Teacher Qiu?
Fang Qing ran over and saw the old man turned his head, his eyes suddenly moistened, "Teacher Qiu, it's really you..."
The teacher was obviously much older than she was a few years ago, but her eyes were still as gentle. She was happy and moved when she saw Fang Qing, who had grown into a beautiful young lady.
"Qingqing, I never thought that I, an old woman, would be able to see you again in my lifetime."
Fang Qing lay on Teacher Qiu's knees like he did when he was a child, feeling the old man's thinness, and felt sad again, "You've lost weight again, why did you suddenly come to the capital? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fang Qing asked a lot of questions in a row, but before the old man answered, Qiu Yulin suddenly walked over.
"Don't worry, Miss Fang. My sister is in good health. It's just that the humid weather in the south has caused her to suffer from rheumatism. That's why I brought her back this time. You don't have to worry about her because I'll take care of her."
Fang Qing looked at Mr. Qiu awkwardly. After all, she had lied to him before and said that she was not familiar with the teacher. But now that she was discovered, she was not afraid anymore. "Mr. Qiu, you are usually so busy. Why don't you let the teacher follow me? I also have a house here, which is close to the school..."
But no matter how Fang Qing tried, Qiu Yulin never agreed.
Qiu Yufang, who was standing by, saw Qiu Yulin's ears move and quickly interrupted their argument, "Stop arguing, Qingqing, I'd better follow Yulin. You still have to go to class and can't be distracted."
Qiu Yulin finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile on his face, "Besides, there is a nanny at home to take care of her, so don't worry, Miss Fang."
