Chapter 90: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (42)
The next day, Shen Minghuan checked the students' homework as scheduled and also gave lectures.
"Not bad, not bad." Shen Minghuan nodded with satisfaction. The students observed carefully and saw that he was indeed sincere and not sarcastic, so they laughed with relief.
Zhao Jun put his hands on his hips and said, "How about it, teacher, have we opened your eyes?"
Shen Minghuan once used this word to ridicule them. At that time, they couldn't even write well, which made this person so angry that he fell ill that day.
"Indeed." Shen Minghuan rarely struck them.
He was in a good mood today. In the morning he ate wontons made by Ms. Feng Dinglan. The fillings were minced lean meat.
In fact, fatty meat is more popular nowadays, but Shen Minghuan doesn't like the greasy taste.
It is said that Fang Peng got the news from Song Youcai - Shen Minghuan has always had a bad appetite, but he only ate a full bowl of wontons when he first entered the city.
It always makes people happy to be taken care of. Shen Minghuan snapped his fingers: "It's been so long and I haven't given you an entrance gift... It seems that I don't pay attention to this now? Ah, let's treat it as a graduation gift."
"Gift!" The students' eyes were bright. They didn't even hesitate on the title "graduation ceremony" and looked at Shen Minghuan expectantly.
Shen Minghuan clenched his hands into fists and extended his palms downward.
He stretched out his palm, and a gleaming gem-like object fell from above. The students screamed in surprise.
Before he could reach out to pick it up, he discovered that it was a necklace, and the other end was still in Shen Minghuan's hand.
Only then did the students notice that there was a silver diamond-shaped square pendant hanging at the end of the necklace.
It's like metal, not expensive gems. The light they see is actually the reflection of the sun, but the students still like it very much.
Zhao Jun grinned, "My, my, mine, and my name is on it."
On one side, there is a very small word "Zhao Jun" engraved in Shen Minghuan's handwriting.
Shen Minghuan handed the necklace to Zhao Jun, and then took out a large handful from somewhere, "Everyone has one. Get it yourself. Your names are on it."
"Okay, thank you teacher." Everyone cheered and went to find their own necklaces. Yun Gou'er read his name and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Shen Minghuan still said in a casual tone, "Don't take it with you when you sleep, it's easy to get it. The rhombus can be opened, and I left a gift for you inside."
"However," Shen Minghuan showed an evil smile: "I didn't make the switch, you can figure it out yourself."
Song Youcai fiddled with it for a while and asked curiously: "Is it okay to just smash it open? Use a knife to chop it?"
"You can try." Shen Minghuan smiled slightly, "I hope I can see you open him up in my lifetime."
Yun Gou'er hung "Yun Gou'er" around his neck in depression, and when he was about to speak, he heard a knock on the door.
Du Xingwei stood awkwardly outside the door, racking his brains: "Junior Brother Shen... Mr.... Comrade..."
Yesterday, there was a lot of fun and laughter at the dinner table. Others were chatting enthusiastically, but Du Xingwei was so surprised by the achievements one after another that he couldn't even eat.
Is this still his low-key, quiet, silent and reserved little junior brother who is ordinary in every aspect except his appearance?
No, why?
You are obviously a unique god, why do you take off your gorgeous shirt and roll around in the mire pretending to be a soldier?
Shen Minghuan didn't mention it, but Gu Wenjing and Jiang Li seemed to think this was a normal thing, as if it was nothing to be surprised about when the weeds turned into roses after a rain.
Du Xingwei stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, forgetting to chew, and began to suspect that he was actually abnormal.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Shen Minghuan looked as calm as before.
Du Xingwei explained: "They contacted me again, and Mr. Ji thought he should let you know."
Shen Minghuan seemed to realize something, "Are the gentlemen still here? I have something to tell them."
"Everyone is here," Du Xingwei nodded repeatedly, "Master... I will take you there."
Such attentiveness is not entirely due to Shen Minghuan's talent.
Before leaving after dinner yesterday, his teacher Jiang Li made a special trip to keep him here.
At that time, Jiang Li sighed lightly, "Xingwei, if Ming Huan is dissatisfied with you, just bear with it."
He said that Shen Minghuan and Pei Shu were very good friends.
Du Xingwei felt sad, thinking that he had really harmed many people.
Shen Minghuan nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your guidance. Senior brother, just call me junior brother."
Shen Minghuan felt uncomfortable listening to him mumbling so incoherently.
"Teacher." Yun Gou'er said with a bitter face, "Can you come back early? I want you to help me pick a name."
Shen Minghuan stopped, turned around and said teasingly: "Don't like this name? Yun Gou'er, Baiyun Cang Gou, so artistic."
Yun Gouer stamped his feet, "Teacher!"
"Okay, okay, it's just a name. Pick one you like, but you can't change the necklace." Shen Minghuan waved his hand. In the plot, the name Yunfan was chosen by himself.
"I don't. Teacher, you go ahead and do your work. Anyway, I want the teacher to help me get it." Yun Gou'er is rarely so "unreasonable".
Shen Minghuan suddenly stopped again, "Do you really want me to get it?"
Yun Gou'er nodded excitedly: "Yeah."
Shen Ming smiled happily, "It won't take much time, I'll get it for you now. Well, there will be times when the wind and waves break, and you can hang your sails and sail across the sea——"
Yun Gouer opened his eyes expectantly.
"Just call yourself Yun Polang." Shen Minghuan said.
Yun Gou'er's expression instantly drooped, and he looked pitiful, "Teacher."
There was a burst of laughter around, especially from Zhao Jun. If Shen Minghuan hadn't been there, he could have made up eighteen nicknames for this name.
Shen Minghuan chuckled, "Okay, stop making trouble... Yunfan, you're Yunfan."
Yun Gou'er's eyes lit up again, he nodded heavily, and said excitedly, "I like this name!"
Zhao Jun stopped laughing, and even felt a little jealous.
Song Youcai was not to be outdone, "Teacher, I want one too."
"You two brothers are inseparable, why don't you just call yourself Song Changfeng?" Shen Minghuan said casually as a joke.
Song Youcai jumped three feet high, "Wow, so cool, I like it so much!"
Shen Minghuan: "..."
Zhou Dazhuang was eager to move: "Teacher, I..."
"Stop it." Shen Minghuan walked away expressionlessly: "Today's naming quota ends here, if you are not satisfied, go to your parents."
When he walked to the door, Shen Minghuan stopped for the third time.
He was rarely so indecisive, "Wenwen just joined, you are not allowed to bully her. Yunfan, you are the class monitor, you have to take care of your classmates."
"You know Mr. Gu's family, you can go to him if you have something in the future."
Zhao Jun covered his ears: "Teacher, why are you so long-winded."
Shen Minghuan sneered threateningly and turned away.
Regret it, brat.
Du Xingwei was also surprised. He found that Shen Minghuan's performance when facing these children was very different from that when facing others. If he had to describe it, Shen Minghuan seemed more lively.
Shen Minghuan, who was moderate, humble and polite, was cold and introverted, always with a little alienation.
Maybe he's still not used to it, Du Xingwei thought.
It's not like he did it on purpose.
"Brother?" Shen Minghuan just stepped out of the door and saw Jiang Yiwen half leaning against the wall, his eyes downcast, wondering what he was thinking.
Jiang Yiwen turned his head when he heard the voice, and a smile spread in his eyes, "Minghuan, I will be your guard from now on."
"You?" Shen Minghuan was surprised, "Is it too much of a waste of talent?"
"It's Minghuan, you underestimate yourself too much." Jiang Yiwen walked behind Shen Minghuan naturally.
In fact, it was because of guilt.
As a soldier, he should be most sensitive to evil forces such as spies, but he has been with Shen Minghuan for so long, but he didn't notice it at all.
In public, his mistakes almost made China lose a talent;
In private, his incompetence made him watch his grown-up brother suffer.
He won't be depressed forever, but he does need some time to adjust his mentality.
He took the initiative to apply for Shen Minghuan's guard, and he even had a fight with Fang Peng for this.
After winning the fight, Fang Peng cried and told him the key points of taking care of Shen Minghuan.
He listened carefully and was very angry that he had to ask others to teach him how to take care of his brother, so he beat Fang Peng again.
Shen Minghuan blinked, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, big brother."
"No." Jiang Yiwen promised solemnly, "From today on, I will always protect you."
The three of them were taciturn people, and the ten-minute journey was very quiet. Du Xingwei led the way honestly, and he could catch a glimpse of Shen Minghuan's gentle smile from the corner of his eye.
This man would sneer, tease, and smile at the students, but he was always gentle to them. In fact, Du Xingwei was flattered to have such treatment.
Even he blamed himself for harming Pei Shu, but this man seemed to have completely forgiven him and was extremely gentle.
The soldiers on guard took them into the office and closed the door again.
Ji Wangchen smiled and waved, "Ming Huan, come and sit here. There is good news. Pei Shu and others are most likely in China now, and in Kyoto. The approximate location is already known. As long as we have a little more time, we can rescue them."
That's what he said, but Ji Wangchen was not so optimistic in his heart.
Pei Shu and others were in a factory, which was the most flammable and explosive. Ji Wangchen didn't believe that Country M would choose this place without purpose.
Country M secretly instigated Du Xingwei, and openly did not give up negotiations with Ji Wangchen. Their planes entered China in the name of diplomacy, negotiation, picking up prisoners of war, and escorting Chinese scientists back to China.
And the number of people sent secretly was countless.
In recent years, with the rise of China's international status, although Country M was tough, it would also leave room, but they were surprisingly fearless in this matter.
It seemed that they didn't care about the result, let alone the safety of the people sent out.
But Pei Shu and his team were still on the plane, and China cared about them, so China was cautious.
After all, China had too little time left, and their foundation was still too weak. Even though a group of people were trying hard to catch up, the gap was still there.
In short, after the game between the two sides, Pei Shu and his team finally returned to China, but it was not completely safe.
