"Scarlett, an opportunity to take part in the World Painting Contest is rare. With your painting skills and the unique ethereal artistic conception in your paintings, you can win the contest. I know you are preparing for your wedding, but this is truly a rare opportunity for you. If you didn't participate, it would be such a pity. Can you discuss it with your boyfriend and postpone the wedding for a while? It doesn't have to be too long. The preparation before the contest and the exhibition tour after the winning will only take two or three years at most. You are both still young. You can get married later."
My teacher looked somewhat sad. He was worried about this matter.
From childhood, I had been dreaming of becoming a painter, using my brush to depict the vastness of the universe in my heart, and making myself known to the world.
Whether I was in college or postgraduate school, my painting skills had always been among the best.
Now that I finally had an opportunity, I chose to give it up.
Gavin said he wanted to marry me and give me a grand wedding. I knew that I could only be the second in his heart. Despite this, I gave up my dream because he wanted to marry me.
