Chapter 2149 Waiting, Searching and Giving Up


Chapter 2149 Waiting to find and give up

"...a bit of progress."

The scholar glanced at the painting in Zhou Yao's hand, and then nodded slightly.

"Really?"

Zhou Yao grinned, revealing his big white teeth, "Hey."

"I also feel that I have made progress."

"Don't be proud."

The scholar reminded the boy, "Your level is far from enough."

"I know."

The curvature of the corners of Zhou Yao's mouth remained unchanged, "But I'm always making progress, aren't I?"

"One day, I will draw as good as my teacher."

……

The promise made at that time still rings in my ears.

In the end, he failed to fulfill his promise.

……

But...

It was the teacher who broke his promise first...

……

After graduating from junior high school, Zhou Yao was admitted to the art class of high school as he wished.

The moment he found out the news, he immediately wanted to share it with his teacher.

During this period, in order to go all out for the high school entrance examination, he had not studied painting with the teacher for a long time.

I haven’t seen the teacher for a while.

After the high school entrance examination, his parents took him on a trip.

After returning from the trip, the results came out.

He finally had time to find his teacher.

……

"Teacher!"

He pushed open the warehouse door.

"Teacher, I'm taking the exam-"

His voice stopped abruptly.

"...Teacher?"

The figure he could always see whenever he came in was not in his usual place.

Zhou Yao slowly walked to the drawing board.

The sunlight coming in from the small window above casts a faint white light on the drawing paper.

"Teacher?"

An inexplicable uneasiness seized his heart.

He took a deep breath.

"Teacher, where are you?"

"Teacher?"

……

Zhou Yao told himself that the teacher must be busy, so he left temporarily.

The teacher will definitely be back soon.

Don't make a fuss...don't...panic...

But...

The second day, the third day...

Until the end of the long summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, he did not wait for the teacher to come back.

Just like the teacher suddenly appeared in front of him that day.

The teacher suddenly disappeared.

Without warning.

Not even a word was left.

……

"I scared my grandparents that summer vacation."

Zhou Yao smiled at Zhao Luzheng.

……

Except Zhou Yao, no one knew the existence of the teacher.

After several times saying that he wanted to introduce the teacher to his grandparents, but being ignored by the other party, Zhou Yao understood the other party's attitude.

The teacher doesn't want to see the grandparents.

Although he was puzzled and the teacher didn't answer him when he asked, he stopped making unnecessary attempts.

Therefore, the teacher taught him painting for three years, but his grandparents were kept in the dark.

In fact, it cannot be said that he deliberately concealed it.

After all, he didn't avoid the two old people every time he went to the warehouse.

It’s just that the old man never thought much about it.

……

After waiting for many days and still not seeing the teacher come back, Zhou Yao was really anxious.

First in the warehouse, then in the yard...

He searched almost the entire house inside and out.

The voice was hoarse.

Only then did the two old people know about the teacher's existence.

……

The two old men were surprised.

They didn't know that an outsider was in their home? !

Moreover, the outsider stayed in their home for three years!

Not one day or two days, not one month or two months.

Not even a year or two. But three years!

Are they really older?

To be so slow?

They were frightened and frightened.

If this is a villain with malicious intentions...

They want to scold their children for their naivety and carelessness, want to teach their children not to trust strangers gullibly, and want to...

But looking at the child's red eyes and suppressed sad expression, they couldn't say anything to blame.

This was the first time they saw the child looking so sad.

This kid... really likes that teacher, right?

……

For a teacher to be liked so much by a child, they thought, he was not a bad person.

Moreover, according to the child, he suddenly became interested in painting in the past few years, and his painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds-

They thought it was strange.

The child suddenly became interested in drawing.

There is something strange about them.

But it's even more strange for them when the child suddenly becomes interested in drawing and progresses so quickly.

Obviously the child has not attended any special training classes.

They had wanted to enroll their children in one.

Because after long-term observation, they found that children are serious about painting.

However, this proposal was rejected by the child.

They thought at the time that they had misunderstood, and that the child was not as serious about painting as they saw.

It was probably just a whim.

As a result, this whim continues to this day.

And it will continue.

The child was admitted to the high school art class.

They and the child's parents all believe that the child's painting is self-taught and that he is a natural painting genius.

It turns out that children have teachers.

It turns out that all this is due to the teacher.

……

No wonder he rejected their suggestion to hire a teacher for him before.

But...

Why didn't they tell them about this teacher's existence?

The two old men were puzzled.

But clearly, now is not the time to pursue these questions.

The child is sad that the teacher is missing.

……

They comfort children.

Accompany your children to find the teacher they have never met.

Watching the child become more and more disappointed day by day.

Seeing the dimness in the child's red bloodshot eyes, the old man felt very distressed.

But there was nothing we could do.

They knew nothing about their child's teacher.

They thought about calling the police.

But the children don’t know much more than the teacher they have been with for three years.

Don't even know the other person's name.

Moreover, the teacher appeared out of nowhere.

It's totally like breaking into a house.

It's really hard to explain this to the police.

Without knowing the purpose and details of the other party, they are not sure whether calling the police is a good choice.

The child did not agree to call the police.

He said that the teacher had never seen anyone else except him.

Although after saying these words, the child showed a shaken look.

Ultimately, they did not call the police.

……

"Yao Yao, give up."

The old lady reached out to hold the child's hand and patted it gently.

A look of kindness.

"Your teacher may have something important to do."

"I believe that one day in the future, you will definitely meet again."

"So, how about giving up now?"

……

The old man stood aside and said nothing.

He is not good at saying these words of enlightenment and comfort.

It's better to leave this kind of thing to the old woman.

……

"...Okay."

After a long silence, Zhou Yao finally gave a positive answer.

It's time for him to give up.

Even if it’s for the grandparents.

This summer vacation, two elderly people have been accompanying him to find a teacher.

The weather was so hot, and when he saw the old man's red face and stooped waist, he always told them to stop looking.

He can do it alone.

ps: Thank you Qianqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
