Four Seasons Never Falling Lake

At first, Qiu Lan didn't quite understand the meaning of being a model. If she just sat there and posed for Teacher Xu to draw a picture, of course she would have no objection.But Teacher Xu took great pains to get close to her and please her. Is it really as simple as she imagined?

Later, Teacher Xu explained to her that it was enough for her to sit there and let him draw a picture. Qiu Lan still couldn't believe it, and asked, "Is that all?"

"Yes, what else?" Teacher Xu asked with a smile.

"I, I thought it was...some kind of nude, nude portrait or something..." Qiu Lan said in a very small voice embarrassedly.

"Hahaha... Where did you think? I'm not a master, I just like painting and beautiful things. That's why I want to preserve beautiful things forever, and painting is one of them."

That being the case, Qiu Lan readily agreed, and made an appointment with Teacher Xu to go to the suburbs to collect scenery and paint pictures in three days.

On that day, Qiu Lan wanted to go to the appointment, but Nara told her that their school was temporarily closed today, so they didn't go to school.

Qiu Lan was a little worried that Nara was at home alone, so she called Teacher Xu and asked if he could bring Nara with her, and Teacher Xu agreed.

When they came to the subway station, Teacher Xu and Nara, who met for the first time, looked at each other, but they felt like friends at first sight.Teacher Xu patted Nara on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Young man is very energetic, he really looks like his mother!"

Nara also responded with a smile, feeling that this big brother is kind and friendly, and immediately developed a good impression of him.

But he couldn't help but feel a little strange. The eldest brother should be younger than his mother, so what is he going to do when he asks his mother out?Although he doesn't understand it very well at this age, he is also ignorant and knows some things between men and women.Seeing that Mr. Xu is very attentive and caring to his mother, he cannot help thinking about that, and I can't help but feel a little happy in my heart.

After all, his biological father has long been indifferent to his mother, and he doesn't care about them at all. He and his mother are equivalent to orphans and widows. The mother who has raised him alone for so many years really needs someone to take care of her. ...

Moreover, he also likes this brother, and his brother doesn't seem to hate him. The three of them seem to have endless things to say together, talking and laughing, and they are extremely happy.

For Nara, this day has become a beautiful memory that he will never forget. Whenever he thinks about it, he can't help but make the corners of his mouth turn up...

However, on the way back that day, whether it was because she was too tired from playing or what was going on, Qiu Lan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and she suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently while sitting in the subway. Nara and Teacher Xu were worried. Incredibly.

"Mom, are you okay? What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Lan frowned and shook her head, wanting to show that she was fine, but kept coughing.After a while, she took her hand away and found a pool of blood on the palm of her hand.

"Mom, what's the matter with you? Mr. Xu, what's going on with my mother, why did you just behave like this!"

Nara burst into tears. As a child, he certainly didn’t know what to do when he encountered this situation. Fortunately, Teacher Xu was there, and he immediately said calmly to Nara: “Nara, don’t worry, wait until the subway stops. Just get out of the car and take your mother to the hospital."

The subway came to a stop soon, and Teacher Xu picked up Qiu Lan and ran out of the subway station, stopped a taxi by the side of the road, and rushed to the hospital immediately.

In the hospital, Qiu Lan was sent to the emergency room, while Nara and Teacher Xu waited anxiously outside the door.

Looking back on this day, it seems that there was no accident. What happened to Qiu Lan suddenly?Nara walked up and down anxiously, unable to calm down at all.Teacher Xu sat on a chair beside him, lost in thought.

"It's all my fault!" At this moment, Teacher Xu suddenly said.

Nara stopped, looked at Teacher Xu, and said, "Mr. Xu, what did you say?"

"I said it was all my fault. Letting your mother be a model made your mother become like this." Teacher Xu was full of annoyance, holding his head with both hands, and lowered his head.

Nara walked over, came to Teacher Xu, looked at him and said, "Mr. Xu, what's going on?"

During the period when Mr. Xu asked Qiulan to be a model to paint, Nara ran to another place to play alone. It was an empty prairie, and there was a sea of ​​flowers next to it. The scenery was beautiful. Nara was in a small forest Wander around alone.

On the grass outside the woods, Qiu Lan sat on the grass, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, and posed a beautiful pose for Teacher Xu to paint.

Teacher Xu set up an easel and drew the scene. This process lasted about two hours.

In fact, it was just a very simple drawing. Why did Teacher Xu say it was all his fault?Nara was puzzled, so he asked Mr. Xu.

Teacher Xu still lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't know your mother was so weak. I let her sit there motionless for more than two hours and waited for me to finish the painting. Afterwards, your mother looked pale. It's not too bad, I asked her if she was okay, she said it was okay, so I was relieved, but I didn't expect her to be like this on the way back, does your mother have some hidden illness?"

Asked by Teacher Xu, Nara was at a loss. He never knew what kind of illness his mother had!And her mother has always been in good health. After all, she was brought up by herself. If she was weak, there would have been signs.

Nara said: "No, my mother never told me that there is anything wrong with her health. Even today, she suddenly became like this, and I was shocked!"

At this time, the operating door opened and the doctor came out. Nara immediately ran up to ask the doctor how his mother was doing.

The doctor said to him expressionlessly: "Lung cancer is advanced, we have tried our best."

"What... what?! Lung cancer? How could this happen? How could my mother get lung cancer!"

The news hit Nara like a bolt from the blue with a "boom", and he fell down all of a sudden.

Teacher Xu hurried over to support him, and asked the doctor, "Is it really hopeless?"

The doctor sighed, shook his head helplessly, and left.

Hearing this, Nara fainted suddenly, Teacher Xu kept calling his name...

Later, they learned that Qiu Lan's time was running out, and there was no sign of it before. She just went out for an outing, and when she came back, she suddenly encountered a disaster. No one could accept it, let alone Nara was only a child.

In those few days, Nara asked for leave from school and stayed by Qiu Lan's sick bed every day.After Qiu Lan woke up, seeing his haggard and sad face, she felt very sad and felt extremely guilty.

"Nara, the high school entrance examination is coming soon, you should go back and review your homework, otherwise what will you do if you don't pass the exam?" Qiu Lan persuaded him weakly.

But he was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

Seeing him like this, Qiu Lan couldn't help crying.

"Nara, I'm sorry for you, I'm so disappointed, how could I have this disease!"

Qiu Lan kept hitting herself with one hand. Nara saw it and immediately stopped her and said, "Mom, what are you doing? It's not your fault that you are sick. Everyone will get sick. Don't hit me anymore!"

"Nara, then you have to be good, study hard, don't worry about mom, anyway, mom is already like this, you must live well!"

Agitated for a while, Qiu Lan almost collapsed, and Nara felt distressed when she saw it, so she could only keep comforting her.

At this time, although Teacher Xu, who was watching from the side, also had a sad expression on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned imperceptibly...

Soon after, Qiu Lan was really about to face death, so she called Nara to explain her funeral, and let him study hard while also letting him live well.But after she left, Nara was left alone in the world. After all, she was worried and kept crying. Teacher Xu saw her and walked over to hold her hand, saying, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Nara."

Teacher Xu and them are not related, but he said such words, which of course shocked Qiu Lan and Nara, but also moved them.

Qiu Lan thanked her again and again: "Thank you, Teacher Xu, you are such a good person, I... I am afraid that I will not be able to repay you in this life, and I will definitely repay your great kindness in the next life!"

"Mr. Xu, thank you!" Nara also bent down and bowed to Mr. Xu.

"You don't need to feel that you owe me. Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with me. If I didn't ask you to be my model..."

"Mr. Xu, this has nothing to do with you at all." Qiu Lan immediately interrupted him, "It's my fate, no wonder anyone else."

Then, she turned to Nara again and said, "Nara, you have to listen to Mr. Xu from now on. Mr. Xu is a teacher. You can learn a lot by following him. Also, you must be proud and don't let those people I underestimated you..."

In this way, Qiu Lan passed away.

Afterwards, Mr. Xu personally tutored Nara's homework, so that Nara got a good grade at the last sprint, and thus followed his mother's last wish to be admitted to Xinghe College of Higher Education, making those who have never regarded him highly. .

After entering Xinghe, the relationship between him and Mr. Xu has naturally become closer.If that family is not counted, he has no other relatives in this world, so he has been secretly treating Mr. Xu as half of his relatives.

But now this "relative" has turned into the most terrifying demon, asking him to sacrifice his soul for him.If it was Teacher Xu, of course he wouldn't hesitate at all.

However, he is no longer Teacher Xu.Not only is he not Teacher Xu, but he also took Teacher Xu away from him, the Teacher Xu in his heart...
