Reborn As a Top Student In the 1990s

Chapter 151 Past

Chapter 152 Past

　　When Teacher Qiu taught her to draw in her hometown, Fang Qing once heard the teacher mention her family.

Teacher Qiu was born in a bourgeois family. His father and mother were both professors. Although the world was turbulent in those years, Teacher Qiu had a happy childhood because his family protected him well. Her mother was also her first painting teacher. Under the influence of the family atmosphere, Teacher Qiu grew up quickly.

But things are unpredictable. When Teacher Qiu was twelve years old, her mother had an accident. Her health deteriorated from then on, and she passed away within a year.

 His father reestablished a family with another woman a year later for the sake of family. Teacher Qiu also met his half-brother, Qiu Yulin, for the first time.

Recalling the sadness on Teacher Qiu’s face when he mentioned his younger brother, Fang Qing always felt that something must have happened between the siblings.

 What did she say at that time?

“Teacher Qiu, why do you live alone in a small place like ours? Don’t you miss them?”

Teacher Qiu just smiled and patted her hand, "Qingqing, you will have many choices in this life, but some choices may not be what you want, but you must choose them. You are still young, maybe you will understand these words in the future Oh! What did the teacher say? I hope you never have this feeling in your life..."

Although Teacher Qiu tried his best to avoid the past, Fang Qing accidentally discovered an old photo tucked in a book while helping Teacher Qiu clean the house. In the photo, Teacher Qiu is still in her 28th year, with a smile on her face, while the young man standing next to her, although he looks upright, has a bit of gloominess between his eyebrows.

The images hidden deep in Fang Qing's memory suddenly came out when he saw this man's face.

Although the man's face had begun to look old, Fang Qing still recognized at a glance that this man was Qiu Yulin.

Thinking of the hardships Teacher Qiu suffered in those years, but the person in front of him was highly sought after and had no worries about food and clothing, Fang Qing suddenly felt a little unsatisfied for Teacher Qiu. What exactly had he gone through that made Teacher Qiu prefer to live alone in the countryside? And what does this have to do with this man?

With her mind in turmoil, she could no longer enjoy any paintings here with peace of mind, so she found an excuse and left in a hurry.

 But after Fang Qing left, Qiu Yulin looked at her back thoughtfully. He just noticed that the girl looked at him a little strangely. Although he thought he didn't know her, her expression seemed to be resentful of him.

Qiu Yulin shook his head to shake off these strange thoughts, turned around and started talking to the middle-aged man next to him.

 Shortly after Fang Qing returned to the villa, he received a call from Lu Can.

“Dear, why did you leave so early? Not long after you left, the organizer announced that they would organize a private painting competition. It is said that the prizes are very generous, and there is also a chance to get guidance from famous artists!”

Fang Qing let out a sigh of relief, "Really? That's good. You can try it."

 She didn’t want the other party to tell her in a somewhat mysterious manner, “Of course I’m going to participate, but you have to thank me properly. I’ve submitted your information, and you can just wait for notification.”

What?

Fang Qing sat up and said, "Hey, why did you sign me up? Just go by yourself."

Lu Can seemed to know that she would say this, "Humph, if we hadn't been on good terms, I wouldn't have cared about you begging me. Anyway, it's settled. You should prepare well. It's a rare opportunity to seize it! Okay, I'll hang up. The phone bill will be charged." too expensive…"

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Fang Qing held his forehead and sighed, "This Lu Can..."

 A few days later, Fang Qing received an invitation letter from the organizer.

 Looking at the prizes on the invitation, even if she wasn't interested, she was a little moved.

Zicheng came over and saw the words on it, and exclaimed, "Wow, what kind of competition is this, with such great prizes? Teacher Fang, do you want to go?"

“Tsk, have you finished your homework?” Fang Qing raised his hand to hit him, but Zicheng stayed away like a loach. He turned around and made a face, “Hey, I can’t hit you, I can’t hit you, I’ll tell my master to go!”

 In the end, everyone knew about it, and everyone encouraged her to participate. Even Wen Ning felt that the opportunity was rare. Helpless, Fang Qing had no choice but to participate.

 Half a month passed quickly. After Meng Ting and Zhang Ting came back, Fang Qing also started school.

 Back at school, Fang Qing began to concentrate on preparing works for the competition. She finally chose her best painting, landscape painting, and revised it many times before finally submitting it. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she received the results of the competition.

As she thought, her work did not enter the final selection and only received a participation encouragement award. She was not too disappointed, because she knew exactly how much she weighed, and getting a participation award was probably because the organizer was taking care of her.

 Fang Qing later received another invitation, and the organizer was planning to hold an awards banquet, inviting all participants this time to attend.

Fang Qing had no interest in this kind of gathering at all and refused directly. However, he did not expect that the organizer actually called him personally.

"Hello, Fang Qing. I am a staff member of the association. Our gathering this time is not only to award prizes, but more importantly, to let more people participate in exchanges. Moreover, we have also invited several well-known painters as award-giving guests. , the opportunity is rare, and many people can’t squeeze in..."

Fang Qing was most afraid of this kind of bullying, so he reluctantly agreed to attend the party on time.

 Saturday afternoon, Fang Qing and Wen Ning finished tutoring Zicheng, and Ah Cheng sent them to the gathering place.

Wen Ning couldn't attend because he had classes in the evening. Before leaving, he tugged Fang Qing's broken hair and said, "Don't drink, eat more food. Call me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

The two of them sat on the side of the road for a while, until Acheng kept coughing, and Wen Ning got in the car and left.

 This is a private high-end restaurant. From the outside, you would think it was a slightly more exquisite courtyard house, but when you walk in, you will find that there are not only antique houses, but also rockeries, cloisters, and a large lotus pond full of lotus pods.

Fang Qing followed a waitress in a cheongsam and finally arrived at the banquet hall.

The banquet hall is also in an antique style, with seats wrapped in golden satin, strings of red lanterns, and people in gorgeous clothes sitting at the table chatting with each other. Fang Qing was a little stunned when he saw this scene. If he hadn't known that this was a private party, he would have thought it was a wedding.

Seeing Fang Qing's arrival, many single guys immediately stood up and gave up their seats until Lu Can suddenly jumped out and pulled Fang Qing out of the crowd.

"Why are you here? This is about to start. If I hadn't been clever enough to get a seat in advance, you would have just stood and watched us eat."

There were all girls sitting at this table. Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, luckily Lu Can was a restless person and everyone got to know each other after a while. As the lights of the venue gradually dimmed, the music started, the host officially took the stage, and the banquet began.
