Chapter 2267 Cares

It was the first time that the scholar heard a human being praise his paintings so highly.

Although its paintings are naturally good.

But seeing the human's excited expression, it was undeniable that it was happy in its heart.

Some words just came out of my mouth.

"I said I taught him how to paint."

"Ah."

After listening to the teacher talking about what happened back then, Zhou Yao had a complicated expression and his emotions slowly calmed down a little.

He still remembers his first encounter with his teacher vividly.

"I am surprised and happy that you said you would teach me how to paint."

"I want to paint a picture like yours."

Zhou Yao's eyes fell on the phone.

“I’m worried that I won’t be able to learn well.”

"But you said you were there."

Zhou Yao looked at the teacher, "You said I can definitely draw it."

“You taught me to paint for three years.”

“I was admitted to the art class.”

"I'm very happy."

"I want to tell you this good news as soon as possible."

"But when I got home, you were gone."

Zhou Yao paused.

"I searched the warehouse, my home, and the neighborhood."

"I can't find you anywhere."

"It's like you disappeared into thin air."

"Teacher, why did you leave suddenly?"

After so many years, Zhou Yao was finally able to ask the other party this question face to face.

He thought about the question for a long time.

But I still can't think of a possible answer.

……

The scholar raised his eyes.

The blue sky comes into view.

Why did it leave?
Well……

……

"Is something wrong?"

Zhou Yao clenched his hands, "That's why the teacher left in such a hurry, without even having time to say a word to me..."

The teacher's hesitation made Zhou Yao unable to help but tell the excuse he made for the teacher.

No.

Not an excuse.

Maybe that's really the case?
The teacher didn't mean to abandon him.

The teacher had a compelling reason...

Zhou Yao's fingers dug into the back of his hand.

The nails turn white.

Tell him that this is the truth.

He was not abandoned.

He's not a... joke.

……

"Chang En, did you go to the art exhibition?"

An idea suddenly occurred to Xiao Xiao.

He and Chang'en first met at an art exhibition.

The monster's face was full of concentration and obsession.

High concentration.

This monster is a painting fanatic.

He was certain of this the first time he saw the monster.

……

"what!"

The scholar's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

“Art exhibition!”

"Master Xiao Xiao is so amazing!"

“I just went to see the art exhibition.”

“Very good art exhibition.”

As if he was remembering the art exhibition he saw at that time, a smile appeared on the scholar's face.

……

"……what?"

Zhou Yao opened his mouth.

"To see an art exhibition?"

……

"Yeah, that's right."

The scholar smiled.

Zhou Yao, however, couldn't laugh at all.

"Then why didn't you come back after the exhibition?"

“You’ve been going to an art exhibition for so many years?!”

This answer...isn't it really just a perfunctory answer?

If not...

Zhou Yao clenched his five fingers.

what is this?
……

"Ah."

The scholar didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Zhou Yao's words. He said seriously, "It was a series of art exhibitions."

“It’s also a traveling art exhibition.”

……

".You went with the exhibition?"

Zhou Yao was unbelievable.

……

"Ah."

Scholars should be natural.

Zhou Yao: ...He opened his mouth.

But I don’t know what to say.

He has said a lot.

but
Even though the teacher was right in front of him, he still felt like he was performing a one-man show.

The teacher had no idea what effect its behavior had on him.

I don’t understand at all…

"Teacher, didn't you think of me?"

Zhou Yao didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not.

He is no longer the child he was back then.

But still asked this question.

This was a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"You can go to the exhibition, but why didn't you tell me?"

Zhou Yao was really puzzled by this.

"Especially since you were gone for so long..."

Who would spend so much time at an art exhibition?

"Even if it's a series of exhibitions, a traveling exhibition, do you really not have the time to come back and tell me?"

Zhou Yao didn't believe it.

He couldn't make himself believe it.

"What am I to you?"

"I call you teacher, and I sincerely regard you as a teacher."

“I like your paintings.”

“I am impressed by your paintings.”

"Until now..."

Zhou Yao pursed his lips and said, "No other painting has shocked me more than yours."

"I always feel that I am so lucky that you are willing to be my teacher."

Thinking back on those three years now, it really seemed like a dream.

And everything that is discovered later is the truth.

Without his teacher, he was reduced to his original form.

wake up.

He knew that he was useless.

but……

"What about you?"

"Do you consider me as your student?"

"Have you ever thought about how much impact your leaving without saying goodbye will have on me?"

"Have you?"

……

"You were the one who said you were willing to be my teacher..."

Zhou Yao muttered softly.

The grievance in this sentence made him feel that it was too embarrassing for an adult.

But he really felt wronged.

After the doubts, complaints, and anger, a strong sense of grievance almost overflowed into his nose like lemonade.

Sour and astringent.

He reached out and pressed the corner of his eye.

The fingertips shrank as if they were burned.

Then he pressed harder.

He closed his eyes slightly.

……

"I forgot."

The scholar remembered it all.

At that time, it was attracted by an art exhibition it saw by chance.

But by the time it discovered the exhibition, it was already a little late.

That day happened to be the last day of the exhibition in the city.

It hasn't seen enough.

Without giving it much thought, it followed the exhibition to the next city.

It was so absorbed in the exhibition that it forgot the students it had taught for three years.

This was just a student I accepted on a whim.

and……

"You can paint this picture now."

……

Zhou Yao paused.

He looked stunned.

W-what do you mean?
Does it mean that he can draw this picture and the teacher will leave?
what.

He opened his mouth.

At first, he was indeed moved by his teacher's painting.

When the teacher said “I will teach you”… did he really just teach until you can draw this picture?
Did he misunderstand?
He thought that the teacher's "I will teach you" meant that he would continue to teach until he graduated and became a truly independent painter.

Until this painting?

……

Did he misunderstand everything?

Could he have misunderstood?

No, no…

Zhou Yao shook his head hastily.

That's not the issue now.

But...

"Whatever happens..."

It doesn't matter if he misunderstood.

They are now saying...

"Teacher, this is not a reason for you to leave without saying goodbye."

"What I care about is your leaving without saying goodbye!"

Zhou Yao yelled.

"Even if you wanted to leave at that time, you should have told me."
