The dean was still unmoved, glanced at Fang Zhiqi opposite, and said coldly: "I don't want a grain of mouse feces to stain a pot of porridge!" Besides, I'm just following the will of the people! Is she young and promising, hmph, I can't tell! ”

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqi only felt that his heart was tightening and sinking for a while, as if he had been pricked by a steel needle.

In the past few days, she has been living like an ant, and she does not dare to go out of the gate. originally thought that this kind of day of blame from everyone in the world would gradually fade out of people's lives over time, not to mention that she was still wronged.

Since she received her education, she has always thought that the four words 'those who are pure will clear themselves', no matter where they go, it can stand on its feet.

But at this time, she suddenly understood that nothing in the world is immutable. As she thought last time, 'evil can't prevail over good', sometimes, some things are not as innocent and beautiful as people expect.

It's like Qing can never defeat turbidity.

A drop of ink can dye a vat of clean water black, but a drop of clean water cannot purify a vat of sewage.

But instead of passively bearing, it is better to fight bravely, even if she is crushed, she has no regrets.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhiqi suddenly didn't feel scared, his hazy eyes instantly became clear and bright, and in the depths of his eyes, a kind of strength quietly rose.

"I know that everyone is questioning Li Lao's acceptance of me as an apprentice, and they think that Li Lao was coerced and lured by me. What do they think, I don't care, my mouth grows on someone's face, what can I do?

But Dean, you are different from them, you have knowledge, vision, and even rich life experience. Do you really think that Li Lao is confused? Even accepting apprentices and teaching the truth, such an important thing is at the mercy of others? ”

Fang Zhiqi chuckled, and without waiting for the dean to answer, he continued:

"Dean, do you know why Elder Li took me as an apprentice? That's because I painted one oil painting, from the day I received the apprentice to the time he died, I painted a total of three oil paintings. In addition to the sunset scenery of the first pair, there are two other pairs: the starry sky at night and the long journey.

If the dean doesn't believe it, you can go to Mr. Li's house to have a look, and he has been keeping the three paintings, and he said that I have to hand them over to him every time, and he wants to compare these paintings to see if I have improved. ”

After saying that, Fang Zhiqi choked up, tears were already pouring down on her small face, every time she mentioned the master, her heart was like being hit by a sharp sword, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

Although she has only been with the master for more than a month, although the master usually does not smile strictly, he teaches her everything.

She has great respect and high admiration for her master.

Looking at the tearful girl, the dean was silent.

He saw true feelings in Fang Zhiqi's eyes, which was a kind of pain and remembrance of the loss of Li Lao.

Did they really misunderstand her?

Fang Zhiqi was completely immersed in his thoughts, and as soon as he opened the closed door of his heart, all the grievances and pain in his heart suddenly poured out, and those words that were suppressed in the depths of his heart, those secrets that had never been told to outsiders, were said as if they were uncontrollable at this time.

"Ten years ago, I came to S City with my parents as a worker. I was excited to see the bustling city; Seeing the towering skyscrapers, I made a vow at the age of nine that I would become a well-known architect in the future. So, I began to study tirelessly, and after my parents knew my wish, they saved money and sent me to art classes for training. That was my first exposure to art, and from the first class, I fell in love with drawing.

The next year, my father was in a car accident and died. My family lost half of my family's financial resources, but no matter how hard and tired I was, my mother still provided me with art studies. I didn't disappoint her, and her drawing skills grew day by day.

And just like that, eight years passed. I have participated in large and small art competitions and won many awards, but I know that if I want to make my wish come true, I must be admitted to a major university. Therefore, I did not relax in the cultural class.

When I was 17 years old, I won the top liberal arts award in S City and was admitted to S University with the first place.

I thought my world was starting to get richer, but God seemed to think that I wasn't sharpened enough, and suddenly one day, my strong mother passed out in front of me, and I was so scared that I was gone. The doctor told me that my mother had kidney failure and could no longer work and had to be hospitalized.

At that moment, it was as if I saw the good life begin to crumble. From then on, I started to study and work part-time at the same time. However, the monthly salary is less than a fraction of the medical bills. So I started begging my relatives and my parents' friends, but when they heard about borrowing money, they all avoided it.

I couldn't afford chemotherapy or hospitalization, so I could barely buy medicine for my mother.

Half a year later, my mother's illness worsened. The doctor said that if you want to save your life, you must have a kidney replacement, and even if you don't have a kidney replacement, you have to do chemotherapy. Chemotherapy and kidney replacement all require money, and it is a lot of money.

At that time, I was helpless, I was desperate. I couldn't think of any other way, so in order to raise money, I went to sell blood. But a few hundred dollars of blood money is only enough to buy a week's worth of medicine.

I calculated carefully, even if the blood is drained, it will only be enough for one chemotherapy treatment, but next time, where will the next chemotherapy fee be paid?

Just when I felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, my friend, Mrs. Shangguan, came to me and said that as long as I helped her give birth to a child, she would give me 1.5 million. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Zhiqi smiled bitterly, "Do you think this is a rescue god sent by God?" I didn't hesitate to say yes. So, for my mother's medical expenses, I had a male affair with a strange man. Luckily, I conceived a child at one time. Mrs. Shangguan gave me an advance payment of 500,000 yuan.

With this 500,000 yuan, my mother can receive chemotherapy, buy drugs with good effects and high prices, and supplement nutrition in life. And in order to take care of my mother and raise my baby, I applied to S University for a year off.

When I gave birth to the child, Mrs. Shangguan gave 1 million, and my first thought at that time was that my mother could have kidney replacement surgery, and I would never have to worry about money in the future.

But God played a big joke on me again, on the third day of getting 1 million, my mother left, and she left so suddenly. And after S University found out that I had a child, he fired me mercilessly.

For this medical expense, I lost my self-esteem, lost my innocence, lost my love, and lost my studies, but in the end, all my efforts were in vain.

At that time, I felt that the end of the world had come, and for a moment I wanted to end my life and go to reunite with my parents. But when I stretched out my hand to death, I seemed to see my dead parents not far away, shouting at me to go back.

After a period of struggle, I finally understood that my life was given by my parents, and I couldn't live up to my parents' hard work, let alone leave easily before my wish was realized.

So I want to live, and live happily, so that the parents of heaven can see how strong their daughter is, and how dare she single-handedly challenge the fate of Tama.

When I was wandering around and lonely, I met my eldest brother, who was like my father and my relative. After getting to know him, my life seemed to be bright again. He gave me a home, a shelter from the elements, a warm heart.

The day I walked into the Academy of Fine Arts, the day I became Professor Li's apprentice, I thought that the dark life had been dispelled, and the future was no longer out of reach, but a beautiful thing that could be reached out of my hand.

But the sky is unpredictable, and the sudden reality is unbelievable. The sudden death of the master was so painful to me that I left before I could say thank you to him.

In the days when everyone misunderstood me, I always thought that the clear person was self-purifying, and I always thought that facts speak louder than words, heh! It doesn't seem that I can escape this catastrophe by being silent. ”

Fang Zhiqi recounted with tears in his eyes.

In the end, she silently lowered her head, a trace of astringency spread out of her mouth, and in the end, it only converged into a wry smile.

After listening to her talk, Lao Qi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped, and he couldn't breathe.

He didn't expect her fate to be so tormented and bumpy. If he had known her earlier and pulled her out of the sea of misery earlier, she would not have lived so miserably.

Lao Qi took a breath, raised his head, hid the tears in his eyes, and shouted indignantly in his heart: God, God, why are you so unfair to her!

The dean lowered his head and sighed, looking at Fang Zhiqi, his dark eyes overflowing with compassion.

"I'll investigate this time! If Li Lao's death has nothing to do with you, and accepting you as an apprentice is really because of your oil paintings, as you said, then I will return your innocence! After a while, the dean finally relented.

Fang Zhiqi clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Dean!" ”

As she finished speaking, tears of gratitude flowed down her thin cheeks, and a glimmer of joy swept over her sad face.

Although Li Yishi promised Lao Qi to accept her as an apprentice for the sake of wine at the beginning, she knew that Li Yishi really accepted her as an apprentice because of her paintings.

Even though he didn't show it on his face, she saw a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Lao Qi sniffed, and an excited, almost joyful emotion instantly spread in his heart, "Thank you, Dean!" ”

"Let's go to Li's hometown together now to see how good your painting is, and it can make Li Lao make an exception to accept apprentices." The dean said to Fang Zhiqi.

At this time, the dean's face did not have the slightest indifference and disgust from before, there was only expectation.

Li Yishi's home was at the turn of ten meters ahead, and within two minutes, the three of them arrived.

……

The furnishings in the living room have not changed, they are exactly the same as when Fang Zhiqi came before, and it is still a high-end art exhibition hall. Li Yishi's wife invited them into the study, and she said that all of Li's paintings were kept in the study.

Fang Zhiqi is very familiar with the study, familiar with the position of each painting, and familiar with the induction of each painting material, because Li Yishi used to comment on the shortcomings of each painting here, teach her how to deal with every detail, and how to integrate Chinese ethnic elements.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, the bits and pieces of a month ago were repeatedly presented in her mind, vividly, as if it was happening in front of her, happening at this moment, as if the person standing next to her was her master.

Fang Zhiqi blinked, and the master beside him turned into a dean.

Fang Zhiqi's heart ached.

"Do you know where that painting is?" The dean asked suddenly.

"On the second floor of the bookshelf." Fang Zhiqi said.

Lao Qi and the dean both started looking for paintings on the bookshelf, but after searching for a long time, they didn't find the three paintings that Fang Zhiqi said.

Hey? Strange? Obviously it's placed here!

Fang Zhiqi didn't believe that her painting would disappear, because she obviously saw the master put the painting on this layer.

After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it, not even in the corner of the study.

Fang Zhiqi was suddenly flustered, this was the best chance to prove herself, if she couldn't find it, then she couldn't jump into the Yellow River.

"Didn't you say here? How not? The dean asked with a disappointed expression.

"Before the master died, I obviously saw my painting on this floor, how could it be gone?" Fang Zhiqi was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Could it be in another room?"

As soon as the seventh child mentioned this, the three of them began to look for paintings in other rooms.

Half an hour later, all the rooms were searched, but I still didn't find Fang Zhiqi's three paintings.

Fang Zhiqi was so anxious, but he didn't know what to do, he looked at the dean, and his eyes gradually moistened.

"Dean, I didn't lie to you, Mr. Li really took me as an apprentice because of my paintings, but I don't know why my paintings disappeared?"

After the voice was spoken, big, big tears rolled down.
