After exhausting myself to death

Life in the institute is as usual.

The strong wind and rain were blocked by a small number of people with their bodies, but they never affected the ordinary but stable life of most people.

"Xingwei, your phone number."

Du Xingwei put down his pen with confusion on his face.

Although the telephones in the institute are allowed for private use, most people usually don't have access to them. After all, not every household has a telephone nowadays, so they are basically used for official business.

He is not worth mentioning in this hidden dragon and crouching tiger research institute, who will come to him?

The institute's telephone 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 warmly: "Hello, I am Du Xingwei."

The other end was quiet for three seconds, and suddenly there was a burst of light laughter, "My dear, it's not easy to talk to you."

The woman's graceful voice sounded both angry and coquettish, "I promised to keep in touch frequently, but my dear forgot about me as soon as I returned home."

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

There was silence inside and outside the room, and Du Xingwei could only hear his own violent heartbeat. He squeezed the microphone tightly, wishing he could put it into his ear so that no one else could hear.

"Tasia," Du Xingwei lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "You still dare to contact me?"

"Why not, sweetheart?" the blond woman whispered softly: "Honey, for the sake of me missing you day and night, can you do me a small favor?"

"You're dreaming! Tasia, I'm Chinese, and there's no way I'm going to collude with you!" Du Xing growled in a stern tone.

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

She seemed to have something to say, "Besides, haven't you betrayed China a long time ago? We cooperate so well with Pei Shu's matter, are you right? My dear."

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

"But if you hadn't told me personally, I really wouldn't have known that Pei Shu was so capable in your country." The female voice was still soft, lingering and tired.

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

Pei Shu was devoted to studying, and he could be said to have no regard for the secular world. He just felt that there was not enough time for studying, and he had no time to devote to dealing with interpersonal relationships.

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

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 openly express her love for him with ambiguous words, and she could swim side by side with him in the ocean of scientific research.

Tasia fulfilled all of Du Xingwei's fantasies about his future partner and was a blooming rose in his lonely time, so it seemed logical that he would be trapped and sunken.

Although they have not established a relationship, it seems to be a silent tacit understanding. Out of frankness with his other half, Du Xingwei occasionally leaks a few words unconsciously.

Of course, Pei Shu is not included. He admires Pei Shu very much and loves his country very much.

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

It's also possible that Tasia was just playing along and finally lost her patience.

Tasia got Du Xingwei drunk and learned all about Pei Shu's extraordinary things from him.

"My dear, if they knew it was you who told the secret..." The sweet voice stayed in a meaningful tone.

Du Xingwei leaned against the wall helplessly. This incident had become his nightmare since returning to China. He did not dare to disclose it to anyone and was ashamed to see Professor Gu Wenjing.

He said sadly: "Tasia, it's useless. I know I did something wrong. I'm not afraid that you will reveal it. I should have been punished long ago."

"No matter what, I can't help you against my country, you can't threaten me."

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

Tasia stopped talking. It seemed like a long time had passed before she let out a faint sigh, "...you Chinese people are really weird."

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

Tasia sighed again, "Okay, honey, what if I say I regret it?"

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

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I really miss our time on campus. My dear, I'm sorry that I took advantage of you. I regret it. I am willing to help you send Pei Shu back. Can you forgive me? "

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

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

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

Tasia laughed again, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This Mr. Pei has been uncooperative for five years. Country M has long since stopped raising him. But we don't do loss-making business. I'll let Pei Shu go. You Exchange it with someone else, eh?"

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 an almost identical, 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 walking towards him 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 happiness.

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 vigor and vigor. 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."
