After Xue Bing received a call from his father Xue Runchuan, he was very happy, thinking that he could take Lin Xiao home to accompany his parents again, so he hurriedly called Lin Xiao:

"Lin Xiao, my dad just called me and asked the two of us to go back as soon as possible!"

"Really, when are you leaving?" Lin Xiao also became excited.

"How's your paper going?" asked Xue Bing.

"Mine is ready, my mentor has already seen it!What about yours?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Mine is fine, or let's go back tomorrow!" Xue Bing said.

"Okay, I'll book the ticket right away!" Lin Xiao said happily.

……

The two arrived in Luopu City by train, and they were very surprised, this time it was Teacher Song Weiwei who picked them up at the station.

On the National Day of the year before last, I didn't see Teacher Song Weiwei, but when I came back in a hurry this time, it was Teacher Song who picked him up, Lin Xiao was very surprised, and introduced him to Xue Bing, Xue Bing had a very good impression of this young and beautiful female teacher.

Song Weiwei took Lin Xiao and Xue Bing and drove to find Secretary Xue Runchuan.

In the car, the three of them talked and laughed, talking about Teacher Song Weiwei's discernment and wisdom back then, strongly recommending Lin Xiao to participate in the competition, and discovering Lin Xiao, an artistic genius. Lin Xiao was very moved and very happy.

Song Weiwei didn't go to Xue Runchuan's house, and finally in front of a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, the car stopped, Lin Xiao and Xue Bing were very strange.

Xue Runchuan and Guo Jiazhen have been waiting for a long time.

After meeting, Xue Bing threw herself into the arms of her mother Guo Jiazhen and said with tears in her eyes:

"Mom, I haven't seen you for half a year, I miss you so much!"

"The child doesn't cry! Isn't it now reunited!" Guo Jiazhen hugged Xue Bing and said with a smile.

Lin Xiao hurriedly asked:

"Principal Xue, I haven't seen you for more than a year!

薛存川 says:

"yes, it's too fast!

Everyone entered a private room, Xue Runchuan calmed down and said:

"This farmhouse, opened by a relative of Mr. Song, is very quiet and has a nice environment. I brought you two here today to let the two of you relax and have something to discuss with you!"

"Dad, what the hell is going on, it's so mysterious!" Xue Bing interjected.

"I would like to thank Teacher Song for this, she has helped a lot! Now please ask Teacher Song to tell you two!" Xue Runchuan said with a smile.

宋薇薇 says:

"That's right, Secretary Xue wants the two of you to go abroad for further study, it just so happens that I used to be a university teacher, and now I am a doctoral supervisor at a ** university in the United States, I can introduce you to study for a doctorate, and he will find a way for you to pay for the tuition!"

Xue Bing was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Really?! I used to dream of studying abroad, but now I really have such an opportunity! I'm so excited!"

But Lin Xiao was very calm, thought about it, and said:

"My ambition is to promote traditional Chinese culture and revive the essence of Chinese painting. The masters of Chinese painting are all in China, if I go to the United States to study for a doctorate, how can I learn Chinese painting!"

薛存川 says:

"Lin Xiao, I understand your feelings. But if you think about it, Xu Beihong studied in France, returned from his studies, improved Chinese painting, advocated the integration of Chinese painting into Western painting techniques, and had a huge impact on the development of Chinese painting, and finally became a generation of famous artists and the founder of modern art education in China!"

Song Weiwei also said:

At present, the development of Chinese painting has also encountered some difficulties, and we need to go abroad, learn the essence of Western art, and use it for our own use, so as to contribute our strength to the development of Chinese painting!"

Lin Xiao still insists on her own point of view:

"Qi Baishi and Pan Tianshou have never gone abroad in their lives, but in the end they have brought the artistic creation of Chinese painting to the extreme.

Qi Baishi advocated that art "is wonderful between the similar and the unlike", decayed and changed the law, formed his own unique style of freehand Chinese painting, created the safflower ink leaf school, and integrated the simple folk art style with the traditional literati painting style, reaching the highest peak of modern Chinese flower and bird painting.

Pan Tianshou insists on seeking innovation from tradition and does not reach out to learn from external factors. In terms of style, the pursuit of majestic and dangerous aesthetics, without drawing on the spirit of Western culture, and without going beyond the traditional material tools, expressions and aesthetic tastes, he is the last master of traditional painting that is closest to traditional painting and has never stepped into the modern era, and is a painter among painters!"

After Xue Bing heard this, he said angrily:

"You all have a point, I'm not going abroad, I'm going to accompany Lin Xiao!" After speaking, he fell into the arms of his mother Guo Jiazhen and cried.

Guo Jiazhen comforted:

"My Bingbing, now that she's so old, she still looks like a child! Lin Xiao has his own ideals, don't wronged him. Fashion design is indeed better abroad. Think about it yourself!"

Lin Xiao said with tears in her eyes:

"Xue Bing, the love of children is a part of life, ideals and beliefs are a part of life, and we all have our own ideals and pursuits. I'm waiting for you to come back at home, and I have you alone in my heart, forever! You have to believe me! You can go to the United States to study with peace of mind!"

"I'm not going, why are you so ruthless! Let me go alone!" Xue Bing continued to cry.

Xue Runchuan also persuaded:

"I'm about to graduate from graduate school, and I'm a big girl!

Xue Bing cried even harder.

"Lin Xiao, you are a good boy, and the two of you love each other so much, think about it again, accompany Xue Bing and go to the United States together!"

"Yes, Lin Xiao, the two of you should go together! After all, it is so far away from home, it is not easy to return to China once, you let Xue Bing go to the United States alone, are you relieved?" Teacher Song Weiwei also said.

Lin Xiao looked embarrassed and said:

"I understand your intentions, and I understand Xue Bing's heart even more. However, I really have my own difficulties!"

Xue Runchuan saw that the atmosphere in front of him was too sad, so he said:

"That's it, after all, I just told them about this matter today, it's too sudden, let the two of them be alone together, and give them time to think about it!"

"Okay, the two children have a deep relationship, let them think about it again!" Guo Jiazhen also said.

"Teacher Song, let's go back first now, let the two of them be quiet!" Xue Runchuan said.

"Okay, I'll send you back now!" Song Weiwei said.

……

Lin Xiao and Xue Bing stayed at the foot of the mountain.

There is a lake at the foot of the mountain, the water is clear, the aquatic plants are still around, the surrounding trees are lush, and the environment is quiet.

The two walked quietly by the lake.

"Xue Bing, believe in my feelings for you, for your ideals, go to the United States to study for a doctorate! I will wait for you to come back!" Lin Xiao calmed down and said.

"Of course I believe in you, but you are so good, I am afraid that others will snatch you away, and I am even more reluctant to leave you!" Xue Bing hugged Lin Xiao and said with tears in his eyes.

"I only have you in my heart, how can I leave a chance for others! You and Principal Xue have also been to my hometown, and they have been kind to us, and I have deep feelings for you. As I said just now, there is love and ideals in life, and there is no contradiction between the two, as long as we face it bravely and have firm beliefs, it is completely possible! If we give up our ideals for the sake of love, it is because we ourselves are too narrow and selfish. Listen to me, okay? Go to the United States with peace of mind, and in 3 years, we will get married!" Lin Xiao said seriously.

"I still don't want to part with you!Why do you have to study for a doctorate, can't you get married now?" Xue Bing continued to cry.

"Little fool, although we have made some small progress in learning, but there is no end to learning, after all, we are still young students who have not yet entered the society, there are still many places to further study, and there is still a long way to go. The road of art is even more difficult, boring, and lonely, since you have chosen this path, let's go on firmly!" Lin Xiao continued to analyze.

"If you get along with someone else, I won't live!" Xue Bing cried.

"Be obedient, obedient, believe you Brother Lin Xiao, I swear, I will only marry you in my life!" Lin Xiao said firmly.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day......"
