Chapter 87: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (39)

Life in the institute was as usual.

The storm was blocked by a small number of people with their bodies, and did not affect the ordinary but stable life of most people.

"Xingwei, your phone."

Du Xingwei put down his pen with a puzzled look on his face.

Although the telephone in the institute is allowed for private use, most people usually don't use it. After all, not every household has a telephone nowadays, so it is basically used for official business.

He is not worth mentioning in this institute full of hidden talents. Who would come to see him?

The telephone in the institute is placed in a special room to prevent eavesdropping.

Du Xingwei walked into the small room alone. He put the receiver to his ear and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, I'm Du Xingwei."

The other end was silent for three seconds, and suddenly there was a light laugh, "Dear, it's really not easy to say a word to you."

The woman's graceful voice was like a scolding and a coquettish voice, "We agreed to keep in touch, but you forgot about me as soon as you returned to China."

Du Xingwei was shocked when he heard the familiar voice. He raised his head in panic and looked around in panic.

The room was silent inside and outside, and Du Xingwei could only hear his own violent heartbeat. He held the microphone tightly, wishing he could put it in his ear so that no one else could hear it.

"Tasia," Du Xingwei lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "How dare you contact me?"

"Why not, sweetheart?" The blonde woman whispered: "Dear, since I miss you day and night, can you do me a small favor?"

"You are dreaming! Tasia, I am Chinese, and I will never go along with you!" Du Xingwei growled in a cowardly manner.

Tasia laughed again: "My dear, your temper is much worse than before. How can the things between you and me be described as being in cahoots with each other?"

She seemed to be referring to something, "Besides, didn't you betray China a long time ago? We cooperated so well on Pei Shu's matter, don't you think so? My dear."

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense." Du Xingwei looked crazy, "You lied to me, I didn't want to hurt Pei Shu at all, I never wanted to betray China, I didn't!"

"But if you hadn't told me in person, I really didn't know that Pei Shu was so capable in your country." The female voice was still soft and lingering.

Five years ago, Du Xingwei and Pei Shu went to M country at the same time. As Chinese, they were discriminated against and excluded.

Pei Shu was devoted to learning, and he could be said to be indifferent to the secular world. He just felt that he didn't have enough time to study, and he had no time to deal with interpersonal relationships.

Du Xingwei didn't have Pei Shu's strong mentality. He thought he was strong enough to face the long loneliness and strange looks.

He could have done it if Tasia hadn't extended an olive branch to him.

Du Xingwei once regarded Tasia as an angel. She was enthusiastic, open and brave.

She would express her love for him directly with ambiguous words, and she could swim with him in the ocean of scientific research.

Tasia satisfied all of Du Xingwei's fantasies about his future partner. She was a blooming rose in his lonely time, so it seemed natural for him to fall in love with her.

Although they didn't establish a relationship, it seemed like a silent tacit understanding. Out of honesty to his partner, Du Xingwei would occasionally reveal a few words unconsciously.

Of course, Pei Shu was not included. He admired Pei Shu and loved his country.

But maybe they were really too close, or maybe his attitude towards Pei Shu was a little obvious.

It is also possible that Tasia was just playing a show from beginning to end, and she finally lost her patience.

Tashia got Du Xingwei drunk, and learned from him about Pei Shu's extraordinary qualities.

"Dear, if they knew that you were the one who told the secret..." The sweet voice stayed in a meaningful tone.

Du Xingwei leaned against the wall weakly. Since returning to China, this incident has become his nightmare. He dared not tell anyone, and was ashamed to see Professor Gu Wenjing.

He said sadly: "Tashia, it's useless. I know I did something wrong. I'm not afraid of you telling it. I should have been punished long ago."

"Anyway, I can't help you fight against my country. You can't threaten me."

He said word by word: "I love her more than life."

Tashia stopped talking. It seemed like a long time had passed. She sighed faintly, "...You Chinese are really strange."

"Of course you M people won't understand." Du Xingwei said lightly, with undisguised pride in his tone.

Tashia sighed again, "Okay, dear, what if I say I regret it?"

"What do you mean?" Du Xingwei asked vigilantly.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I really miss the time we spent together on campus. Honey, I'm sorry that I used you. I regret it. I'm willing to help you send Pei Shu back. Can you forgive me?"

"Why should I believe you?" Du Xingwei frowned: "Besides, can you decide on this matter?"

He had the impression that Tasia did have a background, but even if she was the president's daughter, there was no guarantee that Pei Shu could be released, right?

"It's a bit difficult. If it's done, how are you going to thank me, dear?"

Tasia laughed again, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Mr. Pei has been very uncooperative for five years, and the M country has long wanted to keep him. But we don't do business at a loss. I'll release Pei Shu, and you'll exchange him for someone else, ok?"

Du Xingwei said in surprise: "Are you serious? I can do it, I will exchange it!"

Tasia suddenly smiled even more heartily, "Although I really want to see you, my little sweetheart, you were too determined just now. I don't think you will do anything for our country M."

She said distressedly: "The person used in exchange cannot be too capable, otherwise my dear, you will definitely not be willing. How can I let you be unhappy? But it cannot be too mediocre. Country M does not support waste and idlers."

"Dear, for you, I have worked very hard to check the scientific researchers in your country. One of your senior brothers is named Shen Minghuan, who seems to be very suitable."

"Shen Minghuan?" Du Xingwei was not impressed by this taciturn and insignificant junior. He only knew that he seemed to have come to Jiang Li's family through the back door.

He looks okay, but his abilities are mediocre, and he sometimes makes very basic mistakes.

Tasia was still analyzing him: "Jiang Li's students, it's reasonable to exchange them for Gu Wenjing. In fact, we have already contacted Shen in advance. My dear, he is easier to talk to than you and Pei Shu."

"The whole world knows that Country M values ​​talents the most. If Shen comes to Country M, we will treat him well."

Du Xingwei was a little moved, "Since you have been in contact with him, why do you still come to me?"

"Of course this kind of thing cannot be made public." Tasia's voice became more and more bewildering: "Shen will return to Kyoto soon. You can find a way to ask him out alone, and then you can see Pei Shu. "

Du Xingwei's reason seemed to have been defeated. He had been tortured by guilt for so long that he finally found a way to make up for it. He couldn't wait to agree without even thinking too much.

After all, exchanging Shen Minghuan for Pei Shu is really a good deal, isn't it?

On both ends of the phone were young men in their prime.

One is handsome, the other is beautiful, and looks talented and pretty.

They raised the corners of their mouths at the same time, revealing a similar, silent smile.

Yun Gou'er spent a long time mentally building up before he made up his mind to stand in front of Shen Minghuan: "Teacher, I won't go to Kyoto."

"Ah? Why?" Song Youcai heard this sentence just after he arrived. He climbed over the Yun family's fence and asked in shock.

"Why are you eavesdropping!"

"I didn't, you were too loud!"

Shen Minghuan watched their quarrel with interest until he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching from the corner of his eye. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, dog. Isn't it because of grandma that you don't want to go to Kyoto?"

In the original plot, Yun Fan's decision to follow Gu Wenjing was only made after the death of Grandma Yun. He lost his only relative, and Mutian Village was left with more embarrassment than beauty.

He was not brave enough at the time and wanted to escape when encountering problems, so he persuaded Song Youcai to accompany him to Kyoto.

Later, many people felt that Song Youcai had taken advantage of Yun Fan, and envied him for having formed a deep friendship with the big boss at such a young age.

But in fact, at the beginning, Song Youcai was the one who gave more and tolerated more, and was the life-saving straw that Yunfan clung to.

When Yun Gou'er heard Shen Minghuan's question, he pursed his lips and didn't answer, but the look on his face already told him the answer.

"Boss, you..." Song Youcai scratched his head anxiously. He wanted to scold Yun Gou'er for being confused, but he felt that he was not qualified to judge the other party's decision from the perspective of a bystander.

Shen Minghuan saw the figure getting closer and closer. He pretended not to know and asked seriously: "Does Grandma Yun know about this?"

Yun Gou'er kept a firm face and said stubbornly: "She doesn't need to know."

"Dog."

An old, angry voice came from behind. Yun Gou'er was shocked and turned his head mechanically little by little.

Shen Minghuan blinked, his face full of innocence.

Song Youcai screamed: "Boss, run, run!"

Grandma Yun frowned angrily and raised the stick in her hand towards Yun Gouer for the second time.

In the original plot, Grandma Yun, who had already driven away from Hexi, was now chasing Yun Gouer all over the yard with great energy. Song Youcai was nervously cheering her on beside her, and Shen Minghuan watched with great interest.

In the plot, she is not terminally ill, but just old enough. After Shen Minghuan came, she ate well and slept well every day, and no longer had to worry about Yun Gouer. The most worrying thing every day was how to get Shen Minghuan to eat more.

Unknowingly, Grandma Yun's destiny, which had been written long ago, has completely changed.

Half an hour later.

Grandma Yun came back with a child in one hand and said, "Teacher Shen, I will leave it to you after Gou'er and Youcai."

"Don't worry." Shen Minghuan assured.

Yun Gou'er and Song Youcai stood in front of Shen Minghuan in disgrace.

Yun Gou'er acted coquettishly, "Teacher."

Shen Minghuan held back her laughter: "I know you are worried. Can you pick up grandma after you have settled down in Kyoto?"

"Boss, my parents and the people in the village will take care of Grandma Yun." Song Youcai, who was also in trouble and was beaten twice by Grandma Yun in the chaos, also comforted Yun Gou'er.

Yun Gouer's eyes filled with tears: "Teacher, you are so kind."
