Chapter 111: You're good, but you're not her

"Comrade policeman, I'm going to call the police. Apex "A middle-aged man wearing glasses led a panicked middle-aged woman into the police station.

"This gentleman, this way, please. The policewoman in charge of the reception brought them in.

"Come in!" the man dragged the woman in, but the woman kept struggling, trying to get away from the man's pull.

A policeman walked over and saw the scene in front of him, which was quite strange.

"What's wrong with this gentleman?" the policeman asked.

"Comrade policeman, I want to call the police, this woman pretended to be my wife and killed my wife. The man said to the police.

"Uh... How do you know she's impersonating?" asked the policeman.

"They look exactly the same, but they're not. I have lived with my wife for thirty years and know her character too well. After speaking, the man took out a photo in his wallet and showed it to the police.

I saw that the photo was a wedding photo of a couple, but the couple was already middle-aged. The man in the photo is the man who called the police, and the woman in the photo is the middle-aged woman who was being dragged by the man.

"Uh... This is you and Auntie, right?" the police couldn't see anything strange from the photos.

"Yes, the person in the photo is my wife, and we went to take it not long ago as a memorial to our pearl wedding. The man said.

"But, isn't the aunt in the photo this aunt?" The police looked at the photo carefully again and found that the woman in the photo was the woman in front of him.

"No, although they look exactly the same, you can see the micro expressions. My wife is a very lively and cheerful person, who loves to laugh and live. Look at her again, how does she look like my wife?" said the man, tugging at the woman.

The policeman thought to himself, why can she still laugh if you drag her like this?

"Then uncle, I will call you uncle, this uncle, how can you think that your aunt is not your wife?" the policeman asked patiently, and began to take notes.

Although he felt a little strange, since the person concerned had come to report the case, the process should be followed.

"Okay, it's a bit long, you can listen to me. The man finally sat down, but never let go of the woman's hand, as if she ran away as if she let go.

The man, whose surname is Qiu, is a university professor who is almost 60 years old this year and is about to retire. Professor Qiu's wife, surnamed Xue, used to be a high school art teacher who was five years younger than Professor Qiu.

It stands to reason that with Mr. Xue's age, he should still be teaching. However, in order to pursue artistic attainments, Mr. Xue retired early and began to work behind closed doors at home.

At first, Professor Qiu was very supportive, because their son and daughter had gone abroad for further study, and they had no other financial pressure. Since my wife wants to be accomplished in art, let her toss.

However, almost a year has passed, and Mr. Xue's artistic level is still only at the level of a high school teacher. She has participated in countless painting competitions in the province and abroad, but she has not made it to the finals.

At this time, Professor Qiu realized that Mr. Xue still lacked some talent in painting.

But he didn't want to see Mr. Xue's disappointed expression, so Professor Qiu specially invited a visiting professor from the art department of the university where he taught to guide Mr. Xue alone.

That professor and Professor Qiu are old friends, so they are still very attentive to Mr. Xue's guidance.

However, the professor also quickly discovered that Mr. Xue was indeed lacking in talent. Most of her paintings are very ingenious, perhaps because she has been a high school art teacher for many years.

To become a painter, you not only need a solid foundation in drawing and color, but more importantly, you need some creative talents, such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Gauguin

Some foreign masters.

However, Mr. Xue only has a solid foundation in painting, but he has no creative talent. Her works are taken to the exams of the Academy of Fine Arts, and there is no problem, and she can even get high scores. But if you look at it from an artistic point of view, this is purely the level of homework of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts!

The professor told Professor Qiu his idea, thinking that Mr. Xue could take painting as a hobby, but not too much in this regard.

Professor Qiu then hinted to Mr. Xue that she should just let her draw and play, and when he retires, the two of them can travel everywhere, so that she can also draw wherever she goes.

Teacher Xue is a sensitive and stubborn person, and she quickly understood Professor Qiu's subtext, and guessed what he meant from some of the professor's usual words.

Don't they just feel that they lack some artistic talent?

But she is not reconciled, she just wants to become a small accomplished painter in her lifetime.

So, she went to participate in various painting training classes, hid in the studio every day to create, and didn't even care about her family's affairs.

Looking at his wife who was becoming more and more estranged from him, and the messy kennel home, the good-tempered Professor Qiu finally had a big fight with Teacher Xue.

This is the first time they have quarreled since they got married, and neither party has shown mercy.

"Wouldn't it be good for you to be your high school art teacher? Although you can't be an artist yourself, you can train students to become artists!" Professor Qiu persuaded bitterly.

"No! this is not my ideal, I just want to be a painter like my father!" Mr. Xue retorted.

Mr. Xue's father is a well-known painter in China, and Mr. Xue's other siblings are also accomplished in the art world, but he is only a high school art teacher.

Although the family didn't say anything, they even felt that teaching was quite stable, unlike those who engaged in art, either they didn't open the store, and they opened for three years, just like selling insurance, and it was not stable.

But Mr. Xue is unwilling, unwilling to be inferior to other brothers and sisters, unwilling to be so ordinary.

"But talent is innate, and some things are not acquired. Professor Qiu continued.

"Don't you just think that I am not talented, can't I catch up with those who are more talented than me through diligence?" Mr. Xue was dissatisfied with Professor Qiu's remarks.

"Wife, there are some things that can't be exchanged for hard work, otherwise, why can I become a university professor, but you can only be a high school teacher?" Professor Qiu's words were a little too much, but he couldn't help but say this when he saw that Teacher Xue had not been enlightened.

Professor Qiu teaches literature, not only teaches well, but also writes well. But his literary talent is innate, and from the age of four, he can read the poems written by Li Bai. So, his career has been going well. Not only that, but he is also well-known in the literary world, and has published several collections of prose and poetry.

That's why he understands the importance of talent.

"Oh, you've finally said something you've been hiding in your heart for a long time. Since you think I'm just a high school teacher, why didn't I stay with your junior sister in the first place, he is now a poet who is popular all over the country!" After saying that, Teacher Xue rushed into his studio, locked the door, and hid inside and cried loudly.

It was only then that Professor Qiu realized that he had gone too far. walked to the door of the studio and apologized to Mr. Xue, but no matter what he said, Mr. Xue ignored him.

"Why did you give birth to me so mediocre?" said Teacher Xue.

"Woo woo woo...... Can you make me more talented?" Teacher Xue said to himself while sobbing lowly.

"Okay!" Suddenly, a voice came from the corner of the studio

Teacher Xue was frightened and quickly turned on the lights in the studio, only to find that there was no one else here except himself.

After that, in order to avoid Professor Qiu, she often went out to sketch alone, sometimes for several days at a time. But she found that Professor Qiu had not looked for her, and thought to herself, maybe it was the end of the relationship between husband and wife.

Professor Qiu, after deeply reflecting on his words and deeds, began to coax Teacher Xue again.

"Wife, I was wrong yesterday, and I regret it. Since you like to draw so much, go swim in the ocean of art to your heart's content, and if you are tired, just come to the shore to rest, and I will always support you. ”

"Husband, thank you, I know what to do. Teacher Xue smiled and said.

"Uhhh Good. Seeing that Mr. Xue was not angry so quickly, this made Professor Qiu quite uncomfortable.

After all, Teacher Xue is a violent temper, and he is a little stingy, once he gets angry, he will definitely give Professor Qiu at least a week to shake his face, where would he forgive him so quickly, and his attitude is so good.

Could it be that in just one night, my wife was dropped?

Of course, this is just an idea for Professor Qiu to entertain himself.

Subsequently, he found that Mr. Xue had changed a lot, although he was still immersed in creation, but things at home were the same, which saved him a lot of worry.

You must know that in the past, when Mr. Xue was immersed in creation, he didn't care about anything, and even ordered takeout for three meals.

Not only that, Professor Qiu found that Mr. Xue's recent paintings have made a qualitative leap, although he is engaged in literature, he still has some research in painting.

He once secretly showed several of her practice works to the professor behind Mr. Xue's back, but he didn't expect that the professor didn't recognize that it was Mr. Xue's handwriting.

Since then, Professor Qiu has decided that Mr. Xue has enlightened himself in painting creation.

However, Mr. Xue's level is not stable, sometimes he will draw amazing works, and sometimes he will return to the level of a high school art teacher.

Moreover, the personality has also become two. Sometimes gentle and considerate, sometimes irritable and irritable. In the former, the general level of painting is very high, and the home is very tidy, while in the latter, the general level of painting is very low, and the home is very messy.

This is the conclusion that Professor Qiu came to after observing for a long time.

And every time the latter appeared, Mr. Xue was very haggard and felt much older, but every time the former appeared, Mr. Xue returned to a radiant state. However, the former is appearing more and more often.

Professor Qiu thought in horror, it couldn't be that there were two Xue teachers, right?

After more than a month, Mr. Xue, who was short-tempered and not good enough at painting, never appeared again. Instead, he is gentle and considerate, and his painting level is higher than that of Mr. Xue.

Although this teacher Xue is very good, Professor Qiu always feels that this person is not his wife.

"Who the hell are you?" Finally, Professor Qiu asked the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"What are you talking about, I'm your wife!" Teacher Xue was still smiling, gentle and lovely.

"No, who the hell are you?" Professor Qiu's tone hardened.

"I... I'm Xue Changru!" This is Mr. Xue's real name, Mr. Xue's eyes have burst with tears, and he has an expression that if you murder me again, I will cry to you.

And it was this expression that made Professor Qiu more and more convinced that this person was not Mr. Xue, at least not Mr. Xue, who had lived with him for 30 years.

Because, Teacher Xue is a typical Rongcheng woman, her temper is like a hot pot, which is enough to make people spicy, how can she possibly put on an expression of a white lotus?

"You're fine, but you're not her!" Professor Qiu said coldly.
