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

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the tent and fell obliquely on Gu Fanxing's pillow, carrying with it the fresh scent unique to the ruins, mixed with soil and grass.

She had just woken up from a light sleep sorting porcelain pieces, her fingertips still lingering with the delicate touch of Song Dynasty celadon porcelain pieces, when her cell phone suddenly rang, and the words "Mom and Dad" appeared on the screen - it was her parents who were traveling abroad.

Gu Fanxing felt warm in her heart and quickly answered the phone, her voice still soft and sweet as if she had just woken up: "Dad, Mom, you called me so early, is the research over there finished?"

"I just finished what I was doing and thought you'd wake up by now."

My mother's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, mixed with the sound of my father turning pages.

"Xingxing, are you doing okay at the ruins? You looked a little thinner in the last video. Are you too tired?"

"I'm fine, I've just been a little busy organizing the porcelain pieces lately. The food in the cafeteria is okay, and Pei Luonan...he occasionally brings me some light meals."

When Pei Luonan was mentioned, Gu Fanxing's voice paused, her fingertips unconsciously clenched the quilt, and a barely perceptible ripple arose in her heart.

But before she could say more, her mother's tone changed, with a hint of probing: "Xingxing, Mom wants to ask you something - a while ago, a friend in China told me that Pei Luonan proposed to you at the press conference? And they said you didn't say yes, is that true?"

Gu Fanxing's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that even her parents who were far away abroad knew about this.

She sat up awkwardly. The sound of the team members washing up outside the tent made her cheeks feel even hotter. "Mom, how did you know? It's just... the situation was a bit complicated at the time, and I wasn't ready, so I didn't agree right away."

"It's normal to be unprepared, but you have to tell me what you really think." The mother's voice softened. "Your father and I both know Pei Luonan. Two months ago, he came abroad for an inspection and made a special detour to visit us. When he talked about you to us, his eyes lit up.

At that time we felt that this child was sincere to you."

The father beside him also answered the phone, his tone calm but with concern: "Xingxing, don't think we old couple are nagging.

We can see that Pei Luonan is not the kind of person who gets excited after only three minutes.

The fact that he is successful in business shows that he is responsible and capable.

As for you, he has always remembered you for so many years and has always been there for you when you encountered difficulties. This kind of deep affection and loyalty is rare nowadays."

Gu Fanxing held the phone and listened to her parents' words, and Pei Luonan's appearance involuntarily emerged in her mind - his nervousness when he took out the wooden sign at the press conference, his cautiousness when handing over the osmanthus cake, his seriousness when helping her organize the information about Yingqing Porcelain, and the anxiety and grievance in his eyes when she misunderstood him last time.

Those tiny fragments, like small stones, stirred up ripples in her heart.

"I know Pei Luonan is a good person, but..." Gu Fanxing bit her lip, her voice hesitant, "What happened with Long Weiwei before made me a little worried. I'm afraid... afraid that something unexpected will happen in our relationship. Besides, I always feel that we need more time to get along with each other."

"We've also heard about Long Weiwei's situation. That girl has already been punished, so she can't cause any more trouble."

My mother's voice came back, with a certainty, "Xingxing, there's no such thing as a completely smooth relationship. The key is whether the two of you can face it together.

Didn't Pei Luonan clear up all the misunderstandings? He even compiled the evidence for you to see, which shows that he cares about your feelings and doesn't want you to be wronged.

My father also added: "You are an archaeologist, you should know the principle of 'slow work, fine work', and the same applies to feelings.

But 'slow' doesn't mean 'hesitant'. You have to be clear about your own heart - when you are with Pei Luonan, are you happier or more worried? When you see what he does for you, are you touched? "

Gu Fanxing was silent.

She thought of the meals Pei Luonan brought her every day, the rare books he borrowed from the museum, and the figure of him silently waiting outside the tent for her to finish sorting the porcelain pieces...

Those moments made her feel at ease, and even a little bit expectant. It turned out that without her realizing it, Pei Luonan had already walked into her life and occupied her thoughts.

"I..." Gu Fanxing opened her mouth, her voice as light as a feather, "I seem to... like him a little bit."

"That's right!"

The mother's voice instantly brightened, with unconcealable joy, "If you like it, don't hide it. Girls can also be brave.

If you think he's a good person, get along with him."

My father also smiled and said, "We are not urging you to settle down right away, we just hope that you don't miss the right person.

You are in China and we are not with you. Now that there is someone who cares about you so much by your side, we can feel more at ease. "

As Gu Fanxing listened to her parents' words, the worries in her heart gradually dissipated like ice and snow melted by the sun.

She sniffed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Dad, Mom, I understand. I will think about it carefully and communicate with Pei Luonan."

"That's good." The mother's voice was full of relief. "By the way, I sent you some of your favorite snacks and skin care products. They should be arriving soon. When the time comes, ask Pei Luonan to pick them up for you? By the way, let him know that we old couple approve of him."

Gu Fanxing's cheeks flushed, and she agreed softly: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Fanxing felt like there was a piece of sweet candy in her heart, and even the air became gentle.

She lifted the quilt and walked to the door of the tent, just in time to see Pei Luonan coming over with a thermos. The morning light fell on him, stretching his shadow long and making him look particularly warm.

When Pei Luonan saw her, his eyes lit up instantly and he walked over quickly: "Xingxing, are you awake? I brought you breakfast, including your favorite millet porridge and tea eggs, as well as freshly heated osmanthus cake."

As he spoke, he handed over the thermos with anticipation in his eyes, like a child waiting to be praised.

Gu Fanxing looked at him, and the warmth in her heart grew even stronger.

She took the thermos, looked up at him, and said softly: "Pei Luonan, thank you. And...my parents called me yesterday."

Pei Luonan's heart tightened, thinking that Gu Fanxing's parents were against them, and hurriedly asked: "What did uncle and aunt say?"

"It's nothing," Gu Fanxing interrupted him with a faint smile on her face, "They just made me realize my own heart."

Pei Luonan was stunned, then reacted, a smile instantly broke out on his face, like sunshine breaking through the clouds: "Then do you understand?"

Gu Fanxing looked at his happy expression, her cheeks reddened, and she nodded gently: "A little bit."

Pei Luonan's heart was pounding, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.

He reached out and carefully held Gu Fanxing's hand. He could feel her warmth at his fingertips, soft and warm.

"A little bit is enough. I will help you identify the rest."

Pei Luonan held her hand tightly, his eyes full of cherishment and confidence.

The two smiled at each other, the morning light shone on them, casting each other's shadows on the tent, warm and beautiful.

Not far away, Ling Jiuer saw this scene, smiled secretly, turned around and walked away quietly, leaving them some space to be alone.

Pei Luonan held Gu Fanxing's hand, his heart full of confidence.

He knew that in the days to come, he would spend his entire life protecting this hard-earned relationship, accompanying Gu Fanxing, facing all the storms together, protecting their common love together, and turning this deep affection into the warmest daily life for the rest of his life.
