dogma

Rao Xinghai blurted out the word "brother", and the room was instantly silent.

The man was obviously stunned for a while, turned his head to look at the little girl, smiled, stretched out his hand to press his ear, and didn't give Rao Xinghai any response.

Rao Xinghai: "..."

The man in front of him didn't say a word, Rao Xinghai was shocked by his calm gesture, and it took a long time before he mumbled "Hello".

This time the man reacted, he stood up with a smile, and stretched out his right hand to Rao Xinghai.The two shook hands, and the man smiled and said, "Are you Shen Chunlan's student?"

Rao Xinghai nodded, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Hello." The man patted the little girl on the head, opened Shen Chunlan's drawer, and took out a business card, "I'm Brother Shen Chunlan, Shen Chunhong. You can call me whatever you want, you're welcome."

The business card is all in English, only the three Chinese characters "Shen Chunhong", plus phonetic notation, Dr. and his English name Richard.

It's so foreign... Rao Xinghai couldn't help recalling his English name.That is the stage name that every student has to give in English class, it is exclusively used by Miss. or Mr., and it is only circulated in the English class.At that time, in order to attract the attention of the handsome Mr., he tried his best to think of a "Nicolas" who was completely different from Tom or Mike.

But how to spell it, he has long forgotten.

Shen Chunhong is a researcher at the Geoffrey Institute of Science, headquartered in Australia, and he is an executive based in Shanghai.This time I came to New Hope for a business trip because the institute and the Department of Biological Sciences have some materials handed over, and he must be present to sign for the relevant ceremony.

"I usually don't dress so seriously, so I have to take pictures today, don't I? The handover ceremony is quite formal." Shen Chunhong smiled with a smile on his face, very warm.

Rao Xinghai took up the conversation: "Really? Hand over what?"

"Confidential information, students are not entitled to know." He chatted with Rao Xinghai, then inadvertently lowered his head and asked the little girl beside him, "Han Han, is daddy handsome?"

The little girl nodded, and praised him in a childish voice: "Daddy is the most handsome."

Shen Chunhong smiled, and grabbed her two little hands: "Then why are you crying to see your uncle? What are you talking about in my car today? I don't want my father, I want my uncle? Is that right?"

The little girl pretended to be thinking: "Really?"

Shen Chunhong: "I'm asking you!"

The father and daughter chatted happily, leaving Rao Xinghai aside.Shen Chunhong smiled for a while, as if he suddenly remembered that Rao Xinghai was still here, and turned to introduce him: "This is my daughter, 5 years old, Shen Han, English name Icy."

Rao Xinghai: "..."

Hey, he thought, such a child also has an English name.

The little girl leaned against the edge of the table again, only showing a pair of eyes to look at Rao Xinghai.As soon as Rao Xinghai's eyes fell on her face, she immediately retracted, and this time she was still grinning.

Rao Xinghai: "..."

He understood, the kid was shy because of his handsome appearance.

Rao Xinghai slowly moved to the sofa and sat down, putting the can of Coca-Cola aside casually, with a casual posture.Shen Chunhong hugged Shen Han to his lap to braid his hair. After braiding one, he thought of Rao Xinghai again: "How old are you, classmate?"

He never asked Rao Xinghai's name.

Rao Xinghai: "Freshman."

The two of them started chatting one after another, talking about the cafeteria, the courses, and the hot water that was sometimes cold and sometimes hot.

"...New Hope's campus belle is said to be Chuisi Begonia." Rao Xinghai found a new topic, "Spring is beautiful."

"The place where I study also has a lot of flowers, mango flowers, lychee flowers, longan flowers..." Shen Chunhong counted his daughter's little fingers one by one.

Rao Xinghai: "...that's delicious."

He understood, Shen Chunhong had never studied in New Hope.

"Are you from the Talent Planning Bureau?" Rao Xinghai asked.

"No, I'm not a special human being." Shen Chunhong smiled, "My undergraduate degree is in Zhongshan, and my postgraduate and doctoral degree are all in the United States..."

Before the words finished, Cao Hui and Shen Chunlan pushed the door and walked in.

Shen Chunlan looked at his brother: "You don't invite yourself in?"

"Cao Hui asked the security guard to drive it for me." Shen Chunhong replied.

Shen Chunlan immediately looked at Cao Hui, Cao Hui argued: "You asked me to receive elder brother instead of you, am I not serious about receiving elder brother?...Brother Hong, where is there a good place to sit, go to my side? I have good tea."

Shen Chunhong shook his head: "No need, I will leave after talking to him."

This "he" obviously refers to Shen Chunlan, not Rao Xinghai.Cao Hui motioned for Rao Xinghai to leave, Rao Xinghai was reluctant to let go, but just as he stepped out of the office, Shen Chunlan immediately closed the door behind him.

Cao Hui: "How did the chat go?"

"We had a very happy conversation." Rao Xinghai used idioms politely, "And that little girl likes me."

In the office behind them, Shen Chunhong put Shen Han down and watched her run towards Shen Chunlan.

"Tired." Shen Chunhong got up and stretched his neck and shoulders, "I'm so exhausted talking to that student of yours."

Shen Han hugged Shen Chunlan's calf, and said softly, "Uncle."

Shen Chunhong: "Leave her alone, it's rude. Your student came in with a can of Coke, and she just stared at the can."

"Because I want to drink Coke..." Shen Han rubbed his eyes with his bare hands, crying with a choked voice, "Dad won't buy it."

Shen Chunlan liked her acting like a baby the most, and immediately picked her up: "Okay, okay, uncle buys it."

Shen Chunhong knocked on the table: "I knew you pampered her. She went to the dentist several times because of tooth decay during the summer vacation, and your sister-in-law made a deal with her not to drink any carbonated drinks before the New Year. Shen Han, if you drink, you can drink it yourself. Talk to mom."

Shen Han nestled happily in Shen Chunlan's arms, singing.

Shen Chunlan changed the subject: "How many days are you here for this business trip?"

"Three days, just in time for New Hope, let's see you by the way." Shen Chunhong began to review his office and posted comments, "This is the first time I have come to your place, this place is too small, how can it be so small! I As I said, there are not many people studying special anthropology in China, so you don’t need to hold back in this small school. I heard that the Talent Planning Bureau offered you a high salary to recruit you, why didn’t you go? Look at this sofa, mygod! This is When was the sofa? It’s all peeling off!”

He hurried past Shen Chunlan and knocked on the desk.

"Also, why is my business card in the drawer? As I said, you should put it on the table and hand it out as much as possible. The same is true for your own. The department didn't print business cards for you. You have to print and prepare them yourself. Give more to others, so that your network can expand." Shen Chunhong patted the bookcase against the wall again, "I can't believe what kind of aesthetic style this is! I said that the office can't be casual, you should...Shen Chunlan, what are you doing !"

Shen Chunlan just peeled off a lollipop and gave it to Shen Han.On the way back, he suddenly had a craving for candy, so he bought two at the convenience store.

"Sit down, brother. Are you annoying? Every time you see me, you always talk like this." Shen Chunlan didn't listen to his nagging at all, "You are not satisfied with my dormitory, and you are not satisfied with my office. You're not satisfied either. I'm not you, I'm not that good, okay? Please accept the reality, your brother is just an ordinary person, he can't go to Joffrey, Columbia, it's good to be a college teacher. I can do it in a year Can you take a three-month break?"

Shen Han immediately connected: "He can't."

Shen Chunhong was so angry that he couldn't speak, he sat down and stared at Shen Han who was eating sweets, and suddenly thought of something: "Just now your student called me 'brother'."

Shen Chunlan was stunned.

Shen Chunhong's face was full of anger: "I'm not satisfied with your student either. I said..."

Holding the little niece in her arms, Shen Chunlan quietly rolled her eyes at his brother.

After seeing off Shen Chunhong and Shen Han in the evening, Shen Chunlan hurried to Cao's home, and several teachers from the League of Worryers had already drunk it.

Shen Chunlan carried two bottles of red wine from Shen Chunhong's trunk.Shen Chunhong refused to give it at first, fearing that he would directly use it to stew beef brisket. Shen Chunlan repeatedly emphasized that "it is for expanding contacts", so he gave in.

Since he was sensible, the elder brother was Shen Chunlan's shadow in this life.

Whether it's parents or the neighbors next door, when they see Shen Chunlan jumping up and down, they pull him to jump up and say: learn from your brother, don't be so naughty!

Elementary and junior high schools are divided by area, Shen Chunhong is in the sixth grade, and he is in the first grade.From the beginning of enrollment, the long school career was filled with a huge cloud called "Shen Chunhong".

The primary school is good, and Shen Chunlan's exams are all [-]. The teachers praised: "Just like your brother."

When I entered junior high school, the clouds began to appear.The teacher sighed when he couldn't solve the math problem; the teacher also sighed when the shot put was not far away. "If your brother..." They always start with this sentence.

"I'm different from him!" Shen Chunlan always resisted with this sentence.

Shen Chunlan was admitted to the top 1 exemplary high school in the city, and she was naturally shrouded by the "legendary Shen Chunhong" for three years in high school.The sophomore was assigned to the top class. As a result, all the teachers in the top class had taught Shen Chunhong. When they saw him, they had the feeling of meeting an old friend: "You really look like your brother."

Shen Chunlan tried to transfer to another school at home, and when other schools heard the news, they all offered a discount of 985 yuan for admission to [-], free of tuition and miscellaneous fees, to lure Shen's family.

But Shen's father and Shen's mother were unmoved, and Shen Chunlan couldn't deliberately make mistakes in the face of the papers that could be made-he absolutely didn't want to hear the words "If your brother can definitely do it" again.

Stumbling and noisy, Shen Chunlan was admitted to New Hope and was able to escape.

"'I said it'...'I said it again'..." Shen Chunlan drank two glasses of red wine, and began to imitate his brother's catchphrase with everyone, "He has the ability to predict, he has said everything."

All the dinner parties at Cao's home were young teachers who were leading freshmen, and everyone was full of bitterness.This feast of wine and meat was nominally to celebrate Cao Hui's escape from disaster, but halfway through the meal, it became a complaint meeting.

Cao Hui was very dissatisfied: "Why are you talking about this? I like your brother very much. Every time he comes to see you in the dormitory, he invites us to eat roast duck. He is very nice."

Shen Chunlan was too lazy to argue with him, and turned to talk to the new teacher of the Administration Department about the difficulties of teaching college students.

From kindergarten children to college freshmen, every stage has its own troubles.Shen Chunlan recalled what her tutor said when she was in graduate school: Before university, it was the stage of shaping. After entering university, the role of the teacher is not so great; not a gardener, not a sculptor, the teacher should be a lighthouse - tell students that people should What kind of person to be, what logic should be used to look at the world, and how many roads can be walked in the world, and how should be walked.

"I still can't figure it out myself, how can I show them the way?" Shen Chunlan picked up a large piece of slippery beef from the hot pot, "What should I do if I go astray? How can I pay for it? For the rest of my life?"

Cao Hui sipped his drink and laughed, "Shen Chunlan is lying."

Everyone was curious.

"He is very happy to be a teacher." Cao Hui said, "He doesn't go home after work. He can guide a small essay three or four times. He prepares a class with a lot of colors. He discusses with me while scolding his mother, 'I'm going to the next class." The next class will talk about the new development of artificial intelligence, these cases are very interesting, Mr. Cao, please help me to see, Mr. Cao, please help me to change, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah..."

He imitated Shen Chunlan with a happy face when he spoke.

Shen Chunlan watched his exaggerated performance suspiciously.

Wanting to refute the denial, I felt that Cao Hui seemed to be right.

This night, she drank and drank almost all night, Shen Chunlan had no class the next day, went home and slept until ten o'clock, and was woken up by his brother's phone call.

The materials of the Department of Biology were handed over to the last part today, and Shen Chunhong asked him to go to the library, intending to introduce his colleagues who came here together on a business trip to him.

"Dr. Ivy Teng, an overseas Chinese, is currently based in Shanghai. He has a good character, no marriage history, has been in love three times, has no problem financially, is in good health, likes surfing, has a wide range of hobbies, average Chinese, can speak but can't write..."

Shen Chunlan was so shocked that she immediately woke up: "Fuck, what are you doing, Dr. Shen?"

Shen Chunhong: "Know each other."

Shen Chunlan: "If you introduce someone to me again, we will sever the brotherhood."

Shen Chunhong snorted coldly: "I'll send you the photo first, you can see if you can come."

Ten seconds later, Shen Chunlan received the photo.He opened it for a glance, closed it, sat there thinking for 2 minutes, opened it again, dragged and zoomed in, and looked up and down carefully.

Immediately got up to wash, the movement is fast.

His brother's colleague is a Chinese-American mixed race, with brown hair and black eyes. Standing at the door of the library, he is as bright as a god in an oil painting.Shen Chunlan saw the two models at the door from a distance, and began to feel ashamed: first, he regretted that he didn't take skin care seriously, and then he regretted that he shouldn't have cut his hair randomly last week.

Shen Chunhong told him that the test samples handed over had been sent to the sealed transport vehicle, and now they are waiting for a batch of old maps from the underground library of the library.

"What map?" Shen Chunlan listened absent-mindedly, and the handsome mixed-race guy kept smiling at him with a very deep look.

"The old map of Aunt Mountain." Shen Chunhong lit a cigarette, "Tiankeng, have you heard of it?"

His brother stopped nagging in front of his colleagues, and he was too much to say three sentences. He was a dignified and decent executive.Shen Chunlan hadn't figured out the purpose of his business trip before, but at this moment he suddenly realized the key point: "Auntie Mountain? The DNA sample of the big skeleton?"

He became alert: "Why are you telling me this?"

"Are you interested?" Shen Chunhong smiled, "Joining Joffrey, there are so many strange and incredible things."

"Not interested." Shen Chunlan lowered her voice, "Aren't you introducing your colleague? People have been watching me for a long time."

Only then did Shen Chunhong point to his brother with a cigarette, and said to the beautiful mixed-race boy in English: "My brother, his name is..."

He paused, then turned around: "What's your English name?"

Shen Chunlan: "Spring Billows. S for short... S... Billows for short."

Shen Chunhong: "...my name is Shen Chunlan." He changed the Chinese.

The man shook hands with Shen Chunlan and looked him up enthusiastically.Shen Chunlan found that this foreigner's eyes were particularly good-looking, no matter how he looked at him, he seemed to have two deep feelings, and he was a half-trained lover.

The materials in the underground library were ready, and the transport vehicle drove to the entrance and exit of the warehouse behind the library, and the three of them walked there slowly.

The teaching building closest to the library is the skill building.At this time, Yang Yun and Yang Deyi were at the window on the fourth floor of the skill building, using the zoom function of the mobile phone camera to observe Shen Chunlan.

"The foreign brother is so handsome." Yang Deyi murmured, "Is he mentally a Siberian tiger?...Okay, I want to try a jaguar and a European tiger too."

Rao Xinghai stood behind the siblings, staring at the screen openly.He recognized two of the three and frowned at the remaining one.That person kept talking to Shen Chunlan, laughing and making gestures, it was really a happy conversation.

A piece of chalk was thrown over, Rao Xinghai didn't look at it, but he caught it accurately.

"What's the matter with you three, can't you take this class yet?" Cao Hui was on the podium with an unhappy expression, "It's so rare that I won the opportunity with Mr. Deng Hong to show you the skill building. point!"

The three returned to their seats obediently.

The upcoming New Hope Academy Autumn Games will have several competitive events that must be carried out in the skill building, such as simulated actual combat, simulated battles, and so on.Freshmen in these competitive events cannot participate and can only watch.

The skill building has a total of nine floors, the first to fifth floors are classrooms, and the sixth floor is used as a training ground: the sixth floor is for sentries, the seventh floor is for guides, the eighth floor is for two-person training, and the ninth floor is for combat training.

The sports events are carried out on the eighth and ninth floors.

Rao Xinghai is very familiar with the ninth floor, he often cleans the instruments there.

Cao Hui is explaining the sixth and seventh floors.

"This is an upgraded closed system, which was independently developed by the college. It is a unique simulated battle system in China. The data of all the sentries and guides who use it are absolutely confidential." Cao Hui patted the blackboard, "There have been leaks before, It's impossible now."

He put on a pair of big white glasses.The glasses tightly covered Cao Hui's eyes without a single gap.

"This is the VR glasses that I started using this year, and it is also the lightest one in China. It is very strong, easy to move around, and won't fall off." Cao Hui tapped the temples, "We use these glasses when practicing combat skills Son. There are multiple simulation scenarios in the system. After we enter the system, it’s like playing a real combat game. We need to explore with our partners—”

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderous crackle suddenly rang in his ears.

On the wall facing the library, a glass was broken,

Cao Hui and Deng Hong who were present at the same time released their spiritual bodies at the moment of shock. The snow leopard and lion only turned into real bodies for a moment, and then immediately dispersed into a white mist to block the windows to protect the students.

There were several people sitting on that side: Yang Yunye's Lin Deer stood between her and the glass, the proud Lin Deer didn't materialize, only Yang Yunye and Rao Xinghai surrounded by mist.Zhou Shifei's mental body was like a ball of soft water, enveloping Gong Shang and Qiao Fang wine behind him.The white-naped cranes of thousands of miles spread their wings to block their masters.

Everyone is safe and sound, and the classroom is filled with the atmosphere of various spiritual bodies.But he couldn't catch his breath, and a sharp siren sounded from the direction of the library.

Cao Hui and Deng Hong ran towards the shattered window, but someone was faster than them.

It was Rao Xinghai.

He jumped to the edge of the window almost like an arrow, and was about to jump down while grabbing the window frame.

Yang Deyi tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "This is the fourth floor!"

Snow Leopard finally turned into a solid body, blocked Rao Xinghai from the window and knocked him back.

Rao Xinghai turned around and ran out of the classroom.

"Don't run around!" Cao Hui was angry, "Get back!"

"Teacher Shen is below!" Yang Yun also yelled, "It's right where the explosion happened!"

At the entrance and exit of the warehouse behind the library, the sealed transport vehicle had fallen over, and a big hole had been blasted into the compartment.The warehouse was in a mess, half of the wall collapsed, the smoke and dust were thick, and no one could be seen.

Rao Xinghai almost jumped down the stairs.

The classes in the skill building were all in chaos, and the whole building was filled with a complex atmosphere, powerful, timid, flustered, and calm.Rao Xinghai's running speed did not slow down at all. The moment he rushed out of the door of the skill building, he immediately released his mental body.

The golden python landed on the ground, faster than him, and slid towards the library in an instant.

There were too many people pouring out of the library, Rao Xinghai almost went in the opposite direction, being constantly rushed away.No matter what grade the students were in, they all disregarded the school rules and released their spirit bodies. A powerful guiding spirit breath permeated the road, trying to appease everyone.Rao Xinghai simply jumped over the rockery on the side.

A white-naped crane flew by, and Wan Li was showing him the way.

His golden python arrived one step ahead of him.Library security personnel are on the scene to rescue the wounded.

The dust and mist were blown away, and the scene became more and more messy.Broken cars, huge mess of bricks.In order to pursue the simple and simple effect, the exterior walls of the library are all made of huge rough stones.A few stones pressed Shen Chunlan's right arm tightly.

The golden python dived into the bricks, but it couldn't get into the gaps, it was running around in a hurry, and kept hitting the stones with its body.Rao Xinghai saw Shen Chunhong beside the stone pile.

Shen Chunhong was not injured, but his body was covered in dust.He knelt on the ground, bowed his waist, and frantically pulled the bricks in front of him, his fingers and palms were all broken.

The beautiful mulatto got a little cut and his leg was covered in blood.He didn't pay attention to Shen Chunlan's injury, and almost rushed towards the fallen transport vehicle in a kneeling position.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..." Shen Chunhong's eyes were red, and the stone was heavy and big, and he couldn't pull it away.

The explosives were in the tires of the car, they didn't find them.The three of them just walked through the door at the moment of the explosion, and Shen Chunlan instinctively released his spiritual body to protect himself and the people around him, but the weight he gave to himself was obviously far less than that to Shen Chunhong, so he was directly overturned by the air wave.

The worst damage was the entrance and exit of the car and warehouse.The shards of the gate smashed one side of Shen Chunhong's glasses, and maybe even scratched his eyes, so he couldn't care less.Shen Chunlan's arm was still under that damned brick, he really couldn't move it.

"Help!" he yelled at Rao Xinghai and the security guard who rushed over.

Shen Chunlan gasped in pain, he saw Rao Xinghai appear.A cold and slender snake-shaped object penetrated through the cracks in the masonry, slightly pushing up the big stone that was pressing him down.Shen Chunlan exhaled: the pain started to be intense, but the pressure has been greatly reduced.

The golden python was struggling to roll up the masonry and move it away. Of course it wasn't the one wrapped around his right arm as a pressure relief cushion.

Shen Chunlan stared at the broken wall above his head, knowing that it was the little black snake.

"Richard!" In the chaos, the half-breed boy suddenly yelled beside the transport vehicle, his face was as white as paper, "The sample is gone!"

The author has something to say:

There are two performances today, the first one is Chinese martial arts performed by Wan Li and Bai Nai Crane!

(thundering applause)

Wan Li: Thank you everyone, please enjoy the white crane spreading its wings.

(White-naped crane spreads its wings. Thunderous applause)

Wanli: Bright again!

(The white-naped crane continues to spread its wings. The applause begins to hesitate)

Wanli: Bright!Bright again!It's still bright!Keep it on!The next morning!

(Audience starts throwing eggs on stage)

In the second program, guinea pigs perform Shandong Allegro, "My Two Brothers".

Guinea pig: chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp...

Shen Chunlan (interpreter on the spot): Let's be a fool, let's be a fool, don't gossip too much, let's show how good we are...

(Audience frantically throwing eggs)

It was the bleakest day in the history of New Hope Performing Arts.
