Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Over there, Gu Fanxing was making final preparations for New Year's Eve, and over here, Pei Luonan's gift journey for Gu Fanxing was also in full swing.

Ever since Pei Luonan decided to spend New Year's Eve with Gu Fanxing and her grandmother, he has devoted himself to preparing a unique gift for Gu Fanxing.

He wanted this gift to be full of love and affection. It was not just an item, but also a manifestation of his sincere feelings for Gu Fanxing. The preparation of this unique gift was full of challenges and surprises, like a wonderful adventure.

Pei Luonan was well aware of Gu Fanxing's obsession with archaeology. That passion was like a treasure buried deep underground, exuding fascinating charm.

Whenever archaeology is mentioned, Gu Fanxing's eyes light up instantly like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and he is immersed in a unique excitement and concentration.

Pei Luonan decided to follow this emotional thread and dig out a gift that would make her heart tremble.

Pei Luonan's first stop was the city library, a huge maze of knowledge.

The moment he stepped into the library, he seemed to hear the hum of ancient books, calling him to explore the mysteries of the archaeological world.

Among the tall and slightly dim bookshelves, he was like a persistent explorer, his fingers gently sliding over the dusty books.

There were piles of books on archaeology, from the thick "General Theory of Archaeology" to the "Mysterious Ancient Relics" that told archaeological curiosities from all over the world, from the professional "Archaeological Excavation Techniques and Methods" to the story-filled "Legendary Journey of Archaeologists". He took out the books one by one, with a eager light in his eyes.

He found a secluded corner and sat down, surrounded by tall piles of books, isolating himself from the outside world.

In that small world, he studied word by word, sometimes frowning as he pondered some complex archaeological theory; sometimes he suddenly realized something and quickly wrote down important information in his notebook.

Every page of the book is like an archaeological site, where he is digging for gems that may touch Gu Fanxing's heart.

However, the materials in the library were only the beginning of his journey.

Pei Luonan knows that to create a truly unique gift, more cutting-edge and unique information is needed.

So he turned and plunged into the vast ocean of the Internet.

In countless quiet nights, he explored major professional archaeological websites, academic forums and secret academic databases.

Sometimes, he even had to send emails to archaeologists far away abroad asking them to share information.

This process was full of hardships and setbacks, but Pei Luonan never thought of giving up, because he had a firm belief in his heart: to give Gu Fanxing an unparalleled surprise.

After accumulating a wealth of archaeological knowledge, Pei Luonan decided to transform this knowledge into a physical gift - an archaeology-themed board game.

He began by meticulously drawing maps for the board game, modeled after famous archaeological sites around the world.

He wanted to perfectly present the majesty of the Egyptian pyramids, the mystery of China's Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, and the fantasy of Maya's Chichen Itza on a small map.

He bought all kinds of painting tools, and the table was filled with watercolors, colored pencils, and markers.

He drew and erased, erased and drew again, but either the proportions of the pyramid were out of balance or the outline of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was not accurate enough.

Once, because he was too focused, he accidentally knocked over the water cup, and the water spilled on the wet drawing, instantly destroying his several hours of hard work. But he was not discouraged. Thinking of Gu Fanxing's possible smile when she received the gift, he cheered up again and continued to draw more carefully.

Next comes designing the game cards, which is an even more daunting task.

He wants to skillfully combine archaeological tools, artifacts, events and other elements onto small cards.

In order to find suitable pictures of archaeological tools, he searched countless image libraries on the Internet and contacted some archaeological tool manufacturers, asking them to provide high-definition pictures.

When designing the cultural relic cards, he repeatedly considered the introduction of each cultural relic and consulted a lot of information to ensure accuracy and interest. However, in the process of making the cards, he encountered new troubles.

The printer suddenly jammed and the printed cards had serious color deviations.

He had to reprint it, wasting a lot of expensive card stock.

Just when Pei Luonan was busy with the production of the board game, he suddenly came up with a new idea - to go treasure hunting in the antique market. Maybe he could find some unique small items to add a different touch to the gift.

So, on a sunny morning, Pei Luonan came to the famous antique market in the city.

As you step into the antique market, you will see narrow aisles lined with stalls of all kinds. The items on the stalls are so diverse that it is dazzling.

There are rusty ancient coins, quaint pottery, and various exquisite jade wares.

In an inconspicuous corner, he found a stall filled with old books and scrolls.

Pei Luonan's heart moved, and he immediately went over. He carefully flipped through the books, hoping to find a precious ancient book related to archaeology.

Suddenly, he found a thin booklet among a pile of yellowed pages, with "Secrets of Ancient Ruins" written on the cover.

Pei Luonan opened it excitedly and found that it recorded some little-known stories and legends of archaeological sites, including some hand-drawn sketches of the sites. Although the brushstrokes were a bit rough, they were full of ancient charm.

Pei Luonan quickly asked about the price.

The old man looked at him and held up five fingers.

Pei Luonan thought it was fifty yuan and took out the money without hesitation.

The old man shook his head and said, "Young man, this is five thousand yuan. This booklet is quite old and the contents inside are unique."

Pei Luonan was stunned. He didn't expect the price to be so high.

He bargained with the old man and finally settled on three thousand yuan.

Pei Luonan held the booklet tightly and continued to explore the antique market.

As he walked, he came to a stall filled with various small items.

Pei Luonan was attracted by a small bronze model of an archaeological tool.

This model was made very delicately, showing the shape and details of the archaeological shovel vividly. Pei Luonan picked up the model and looked at it carefully, thinking that if this model was put in the board game, it would definitely add a lot of realism.

After some bargaining with the stall owner, he finally bought it for 500 yuan.

Pei Luonan spent the whole day in the antique market. Although he was exhausted, he gained a lot.

He returned home full of anticipation with the treasures he had found, ready to incorporate these new elements into the gift he prepared for Gu Fanxing.

In the last few days before New Year's Eve, Pei Luonan finally carefully packed the relevant information and vouchers for the board game and simulated archaeological experience. He went to several gift shops before finding an antique box with mysterious ancient symbols engraved on it, as if it was tailor-made for this gift.

He neatly put the board game cards, maps, and props into the box one by one, and placed the admission ticket for the simulated archaeological experience and a detailed introductory manual on top.

Finally, he wrote a letter full of affection, and every word in the letter was like his affectionate confession to Gu Fanxing.

He placed the letter in the box and tied it with a delicate ribbon.

This exquisite box, this gift that embodies Pei Luonan's countless efforts and love, will be delivered to Gu Fanxing on New Year's Eve. Pei Luonan is looking forward to whether this gift can shine brightly in Gu Fanxing's life.
