Chapter 347: Graduation Ceremony
The school also talked to Qiu Qiguan about this, he did not deny it, nor did he admit it, only said that he knew in his heart that he would not do anything out of the ordinary, and Qiu Qiguan was not an official teacher in the Academy of Fine Arts at that time, he was hired by the school externally, and he went to attend a few classes a week, and he had his own affairs the rest of the time, so the school couldn't do anything with him.
As for Tang Ji, it may be that he recognizes Qiu Qiguan's personality, so he didn't stop it much after knowing the "scandal" between him and Tang Jingcheng, which is equivalent to acquiescence in disguise.
The two spent a year in such an ambiguous and peaceful manner, in this year, Qiu Qiguan was also a teacher and friend to Tang Jingcheng, very close, very good, and even a little pampered, but no matter how Tang Jingcheng teased him, he no longer did any outrageous behavior.
This relationship was maintained until Tang Jingcheng left school for an internship, and before leaving school, she asked Qiu Qiguan out and confessed again, and Qiu Qiguan still said the same thing.
"You're still young. I don't understand a lot of things, and when you step into society in the future, you will meet better people..."
Anyway, the teacher always speaks in one set and in one clichΓ©, and Tang Cheng is shocked when she listens to it, she doesn't feel at ease and continues to do her own thing.
The real turning point was on the day of Tang's graduation ceremony.
During the day, there are activities in the school, teachers and students will be there, take pictures, hold a ceremony to get a graduation certificate, but Qiu Qiguan is an external teacher, and he will not go to this kind of occasion.
After the ceremony was completed, Tang Jingcheng also sent a photo of himself to Qiu Qiguan, the girl in the photo was wearing a bachelor's gown and a bachelor's hat, standing in the sun and smiling wantonly and beautifully.
is so beautiful that Qiu Qiguan is a little jealous, looking so old.
After the photo was sent, Tang Jingcheng couldn't receive a reply for a long time, so he called and made an appointment that she wanted to meet him in the evening, but Qiu Qiguan released her pigeon that night, and the reason given to her was that he wanted to go on a blind date.
The blind date was introduced by Qiu Yueyi, the daughter of an old friend in her circle, who had just returned from abroad and was twenty-nine years old.
Qiu Yueyi showed him a photo before, the girl in the photo is dignified and generous, and her family background is also a good match for the Qiu family, Qiu Yueyi likes it very much.
Moreover, Qiu Qiguan was already in his thirties at that time, and Qiu Yueyi was anxious to see that he still had no plans to start a family, but after seeing the photos, Qiu Qiguan directly refused.
"I'm too busy at work, and I don't want to think about personal issues just yet."
"Busy, busy, don't keep using busyness as an excuse, you don't plan to get married at this age? What's wrong with this girl from the old Li family? I've seen it before, it's good-looking, and it's cultivated, the Li family and our family are still old friends, and the door is right, I think it's very suitable! β
It was the first time that Qiu Yueyi talked about personal issues with Qiu Qiguan with such a fierce attitude.
"Anyway, I've already made an appointment with Lao Li, next Friday night, you take that girl out for dinner!"
"I'm not going!"
"Why not? Do you dislike other people's girls or is there another reason? β
"No, the girl is very good, young and beautiful, but I have no plans to get married now, and I don't want to delay others!" Qiu Qiguan's words also became fierce, Qiu Yueyi stared at his eyes, and his son, who had always been gentle and polite, actually argued with him on this kind of issue.
"Anyway, I've made an appointment for you, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go!"
"Mom, when did you start to become so unreasonable?"
"And when did you start to get so dead?" Qiu Yueyi did not show weakness at all, "Are you afraid of delaying other people's girls or do you have someone else in your heart?" Just for the little girl who hasn't graduated yet? β
"Mom, what the hell are you trying to say?"
"What do you want to do? After so many years of not falling in love or getting married, do you really think I can't hear the gossip outside? But how old is she? The little girl who has not yet graduated, her heart is uncertain, and now she thinks that you are fresh for a while, can you guarantee that she will still be like this after a long time? And there is a thirteen-year difference between you, do you have a common language? How do you get along together? Is she willing to marry you? Qiu Yueyi said a lot, and finally boiled it down to one sentence.
"Qiguan, feelings are not impulsive, she is still young, she has capital crazy, but you can't, you are thirty-six, you should have mature thinking and cognition, other men have already married and had children at your age. Mom can't afford to wait, and she's still waiting to hold her grandson. β
Qiu Yueyi spoke earnestly. tore open the opening that Qiu Qiguan had been holding in his heart.
On Friday night, he showed up at the restaurant his mother had agreed to meet with the girl.
Tang Jingcheng didn't believe it at first, because he really couldn't connect Qiu Qiguan with a blind date.
How could he possibly do such a mundane thing?
But when she called Qiu Qiguan again, the other party never answered, and finally simply turned off the phone, and in a fit of anger, Tang took a taxi to his studio.
The studio door was closed, and she sat on the steps and waited.
I don't know if I can wait for it, anyway, she gritted her teeth and waited.
Qiu Qiguan had a meal with the girl. Watched another movie.
The girl has good conditions, good looks, knowledgeable knowledge, and high education.
The girl was also quite satisfied with Qiu Yueyi, and the conversation at the dinner was okay, but he was indifferent, but he couldn't say anything bad.
He was relieved of what Qiu Yueyi told him that night, or rather, he always knew in his heart that there would be no result between himself and the little girl. The little girl is crazy, that's the nature of the little girl, but he can't go crazy with him, he's thirty-six years old and can't afford to go crazy.
After the movie ended, Qiu Qiguan sent the girl on a blind date home, and on the way back, he turned on his mobile phone, which was full of missed calls and text messages from Tang Jingcheng.
One of them is: "I'm waiting for you at the door of your studio, if you don't come, I won't leave!" β
What a minx.
Qiu Qiguan didn't go, silently pressed his mobile phone, took a shower and slept after going back, but he couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed, his mind was full of Tang Jingcheng's face, sometimes silent like stagnant water, and sometimes teasing him like a goblin.
After lying down for more than an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore, got up and changed his clothes and went out.
On the way there, he didn't have much hope, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and he felt that Tang Jingcheng's patience would definitely not survive in the middle of the night.
But he was wrong.
Tang Jingcheng has a bad temper, but she has a twisted temperament, and more importantly, she has super perseverance for what she wants.
It's good to learn to carve jade. She has no foundation, but when she picks up a file, she has toughness in her eyes.
Whether she likes a man, she can ignore the time and returns, wait slowly, grind slowly, and then seize the opportunity to wait for the opportunity.
Therefore, Qiu Qiguan still underestimated her patience, and even more underestimated the strength she had accumulated since she was seventeen years old.
From freshman year of high school to college graduation. It's been six years, I've waited for six years, and there's still one night left?
Qiu Qiguan's car stopped at the door of the studio, and Tang Jingcheng sat on the steps at first, and when he saw his car coming, he patted his leg and got up, and walked to the front of the car in a bright white light.
Qiu Qiguan got out of the car and saw Tang Jingcheng in front of him, wearing a beautiful dress, high heels, his hair hung straight down to his chest, his face was wearing light makeup, standing in the light and smiling slightly, his eyes were bent down, and his face was soft.
"Teacher Qiu, you're here..."
This sentence again, her voice was indifferent, not angry, not sad, as if everything was expected by her.
Qiu Qiguan's heart was shocked at that time, and he just wanted to speak, but Tang Jingcheng raised his hand and put the cigarette pinched by his fingers in his mouth. Take a puff, and the white mist blows into his face.
How did Qiu Qiguan feel at that time?
It was the first time he saw Tang Jingcheng smoking, dressed so beautifully and so ladylike, but standing in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth.
"When did you learn it?"
"It's a good morning, you never knew to care about me anyway!" She puffed out the smoke rings in a humble manner, and she looked very skillful in that appearance.
ββ¦β¦β
Qiu Qiguan didn't know what to say for a while. She just slipped the car keys into her pocket and looked at the steps she had just sat on, which were full of cigarette butts.
"Let's go, go in first!"
He went over and opened the door of the studio, and Tang Jingcheng threw away the cigarette in his hand and followed.
Qiu Qiguan's studio is very large, with two floors, the first floor has a reception desk, a working area and a meeting room, etc., and the second floor is a full floor of Qiu Qiguan's private place.
When he's busy, he lives directly in the studio.
Qiu Qiguan didn't turn on the lights after entering the door, and walked directly through the room to the upper floor.
The stairs were metal, and the leather shoes of the two of them stepped on them, some hurried, some chaotic, and neither spoke to each other, Tang Jingcheng stepped on his steps in the dark, followed him all the way, clenching his fists tightly.
When he got upstairs, Qiu Qiguan walked over and turned on the lights first.
"If you have something to say, I'll send you back after that!"
As a result, before the switch could be pressed, a force rushed from behind, the girl was too strong, and Qiu Qiguan was hit by her and choked forward half a step.
Tang Jingcheng's arms were instantly wrapped around Qiu Qiguan's waist from behind.
Qiu Qiguan took a hard breath, forgot to turn on the light again, pulled her arm and turned around.
"Stand tall and speak if you have something to say!"
"No, I don't have anything to say, I've already said everything I need to say before!" Tang Jingcheng didn't care about it, and drilled into Qiu Qiguan's arms with his head down.
Qiu Qiguan was a little overwhelmed by her sudden thoughts, grabbed her wrist, and reluctantly pushed her away a little: "Okay, since you have nothing to say, then I'll say." β
"Well, you say..."
"Tang Jingcheng, today..."
"Call me by a different name!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Tang Tang, today..."
"No, don't call me Tang Tang, Tang Tang was called by my father."
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Jingcheng is really persevering, Qiu Qiguan is really patient, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Tang Jingcheng's arm.
"Okay, don't call Tang Tang, what do you want me to shout?"
"Shout something different, different from everyone else." Tang Jingcheng thought for a while, and blinked his eyes in the dark, "Cheng Cheng, is it okay to call me Cheng Cheng in the future?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Qiu Qiguan frowned and was stunned for a moment.
Okay, Cheng Cheng Cheng
"Good. Cheng Cheng..."
"Well, I'm here, you say!" She looked obedient, and now she looked like an obedient student again, but Qiu Qiguan became a little embarrassed by her to talk about it.
It was as if between him and her, no matter what the situation, she was able to navigate each time. And he was always embarrassed.
"Say, didn't you just say you had something to say?" Tang Jingcheng urged with an ignorant expression.
Qiu Qiguan could only smile bitterly and obey his gods.
"Cheng Cheng, I shouldn't have come to see you today, but since I'm here, I want to make it clear... Between me and youβ" Qiu Qiguan paused again.
"What's wrong between us?"
"Between us, maybe I did something to cause you unnecessary misunderstanding before, I'm sorry if that's the case, so today I want to clarify one thing with you..."
"Well, you say."
ββ¦β¦β
"I want to say, you have a good understanding, and you have talent, if you hone well in the future, you will definitely have something to do, I am also honored to be your teacher, but you will graduate from today, and we are not expected to meet in the future, but the teacher wishes you success in your future career, I will be proud of you!"
After saying this, Qiu Qiguan quietly waited for Tang Jingcheng's response, but she didn't speak for a while, in the darkness, she could only see her pair of bright eyes by the moonlight, there were no waves in her eyes, Qiu Qiguan once thought that this girl was stupid, was she going to cry?
begged her not to cry, as soon as she cried, Qiu Qiguan felt that she would be soft-hearted.
The two froze like this for at least half a minute, and when Qiu Qiguan wanted to "beg for mercy" for a while, she suddenly raised his arm.
Tang Jingcheng: "I knew you would say this!" β
Qiu Qiguan: "......"
Tang Jingcheng: "Are you teachers so hypocritical and unreasonable?" β
Qiu Qiguan: "......"
Tang Jingcheng: "Or is your blind date tonight very satisfying to you?" How old is she? About your age? β
Qiu Qiguan: "No, Tang Jingcheng, what we are talking about are fundamentally two different things!" β
Tang Jingcheng: "How are they two different things, I know your reasons, don't you think I'm small?" After speaking, she pulled Qiu Qiguan's hand and clasped it on herself...
"Is it small? ......" [Thirteen words omitted here]
Tang Jingcheng squeezed Qiu Qiguan's hand.
Qiu Qiguan's mind was in chaos at that time. But the touch in my hand is terrifyingly real.
"Teacher Qiu, I'm not young, I'm twenty-three years old this year, and I'm already well-developed, why are you still not satisfied?"
How can she have such logic?
Such rogue, impudent, and even shameless logic?
But Qiu Qiguan couldn't get out of her hand when she held him down, and what was even more hateful was that the girl in front of her was still pure and ignorant, and there was an imperative momentum in her ignorance, especially those watery eyes, which simply made Qiu Qiguan have nowhere to escape.
This awesome girl!
Qiu Qiguan withdrew his hand and instead held her face and kissed her deeply......
It doesn't matter if you are confused, or if you can't bear it, anyway, Qiu Qiguan was reluctant to let it go that night, and he hugged Tang Jingcheng to his workbench.
The platform was full of carved jade knives, broken stones, lamps and drawings, which were swept to the ground by his arm.
Emotions that have been deposited for so many years erupt overnight.
Qiu Qiguan gasped, and Tang Jingcheng tugged at the collar of his shirt.
An old man in his thirties was tortured by an unfinished girl and was about to die half his life.
At the last minute, he was still a little unsure.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he is not confident.
"Cheng Cheng, have you thought about it?"
"Hmm..."
"Really... Don't regret it? β
"No regrets!"
"But I'm so much older than you, aren't you afraid of other people's gossip?"
"Are you afraid? If you are not afraid, I am not afraid! β¦β¦ Qiu Qiguan, let's not be afraid, okay? β¦ I've been secretly liking you since I was a teenager, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Well? You look me in the eye, do you see? Qiu Qiguan, I love you......"
