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

In the afternoon, Gu Fanxing squatted at the bottom of exploration area No. 3, carefully cleaning a piece of Song Dynasty celadon porcelain that had just revealed its edge.

She held a small brush and gently brushed away the loose dust on the porcelain fragment - this was the third complete porcelain fragment found this week. If she put a few more pieces together, she might be able to restore half a porcelain bowl.

"Xingxing, be careful, the soil here is a bit loose, don't get too close!"

Ling Jiuer stood at the edge of the exploration area, holding the Luoyang shovel in her hand, and shouted to the people below.

The exploration area is more than two meters deep, and the side walls are made of freshly trimmed loess. Although it is compacted, it has rained lightly in recent days, so it is inevitable that sporadic pieces of soil will fall.

Gu Fanxing looked up and waved her hand: "It's okay, I'll go up after I finish cleaning this piece. Look at the texture of this porcelain piece, it's so delicate." She lowered her head, her attention all focused on the porcelain piece, and did not notice that the loess on the side wall above her head was quietly seeping down with fine sand.

Pei Luonan was sorting out the information sent by Kong Haoyu, but his eyes kept drifting towards the exploration area unconsciously.

Seeing Gu Fanxing squatting below with her back facing the side wall, his heart inexplicably tightened. Just as he was about to stand up and call her up, he heard a muffled "crash" sound - the loess on the side wall of the exploration area suddenly collapsed, and a fist-sized lump of soil with fine sand hit Gu Fanxing's back!

"Xingxing! Be careful!" The information in Pei Luonan's hand fell to the ground, and he rushed over almost instinctively.

Ling Jiuer at the edge of the exploration area also panicked. She screamed and reached out to pull Gu Fanxing, but the distance was too far and she couldn't reach him at all.

It was too late when Gu Fanxing heard the sound. She felt a chill on her back. Before she could turn around, she felt someone suddenly pounce on her from the side, with a familiar scent of cedar, and held her tightly in his arms.

Then, her back was pushed forward by a huge force, and her forehead hit the hard soil at the bottom of the exploration area. It didn't hurt, but it made her brain dizzy.

With a "boom", more yellow earth collapsed, covering the figure that was protecting her.

"Pei Luonan!" Gu Fanxing's mind went blank in an instant. The familiar breath and strong arms just now were clearly Pei Luonan!

She struggled to get up and frantically tried to dig away the yellow soil on and around her body. Her fingertips were rubbed so hard by the coarse sand that they hurt, but she could not feel anything at all.

"Pei Luonan! Where are you? Don't scare me!"

His voice trembled and tears welled up without warning.

She remembered the millet porridge Pei Luonan cooked for her, the coat he draped over her shoulders, the gentle look in his eyes when he wiped the porridge stains from the corners of her mouth, and he said, "The most important thing for me is to be with you" - these scenes flashed in her mind like a movie, and each one made her heart ache.

Ling Jiuer and the surrounding team members gathered around and started digging the soil in a hurry.

Gu Fanxing's fingers were covered in mud, and blood was oozing from the cracks between her nails: "Pei Luonan, say something! Aren't you going to pursue me? You can't let anything happen to you! I haven't agreed to date you yet, you can't just let it go like this!"

She had always thought that she had only "recognized Pei Luonan a little bit" and was only moved by his feelings, but it was not until this moment that she realized that those hesitations and concerns had long been quietly worn into sincerity in their companionship day after day.

His determination to give up a project worth hundreds of millions for her, his seriousness in making breakfast, and his patience in organizing materials had already sprouted in her heart like seeds, but she herself did not dare to admit it - it turned out that Pei Luonan had already occupied her life and became the person she could not lose.

"Ahem..." Just as Gu Fanxing was about to suffocate from crying, the figure buried in the soil suddenly moved, and a cough was heard. Gu Fanxing stopped abruptly, tears still hanging on her face, and her voice was filled with tears: "Pei Luonan? Is that you? How are you?"

With the efforts of those around him, Pei Luonan's upper body was exposed - his hair was covered in dirt, his suit was scratched, and blood was seeping from his arm, but his eyes were clear. When he saw Gu Fanxing, his first words were: "Are you okay? Did you get hit by the dirt?"

Gu Fanxing's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she rushed over and hugged his neck: "I'm fine... I'm fine... You scared me to death, Pei Luonan, why are you so stupid, why did you rush over?"

Pei Luonan felt a little pain from being hugged by her, and the wound on his arm was burning. He raised his hand and patted her back gently.

"If I don't rush over and something happens to you, won't my twenty years of waiting be in vain?"

He was actually not seriously injured. When he rushed over just now, he only had a shallow scratch on his arm, and his leg was a little numb where it was buried, but it was nothing serious.

But when he saw Gu Fanxing's red eyes from crying and the way she held him tightly and refused to let go, he felt so sweet in his heart.

He heard what Gu Fanxing shouted just now, and those words made him feel more at ease than any promise.

"It's okay, look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Pei Luonan gently pushed Gu Fanxing away and reached out to gently wipe away the tears and dirt on her face.

"Stop crying. If you cry again, you will become a little cat."

Gu Fanxing sniffed and reached out to hit him lightly.

"It's already this late, and you're still laughing at me! Do you know how scared I was just now? I thought something was going to happen to you and I would never see you again."

"Will not,"

Pei Luonan held her hand, feeling particularly at ease.

"I promised to accompany you to sort porcelain pieces, eat sweet osmanthus cakes, and even marry you. How could it be possible? I still have to wait for you to say that you like me and agree to be my girlfriend."

Ling Jiuer stood nearby, wiping her tears and laughing. "You two scared me to death! Mr. Pei, you're such a hero saving a beautiful girl! Your arm is bleeding! Go and treat the wound!"

Pei Luonan glanced at his arm and smiled: "It's a minor injury, nothing serious."

"How can it not be a hindrance!"

Gu Fanxing pulled his arm, carefully avoiding the wound.

"Come on, I'll take you there to get it treated. It will be troublesome if it gets infected."

She pulled Pei Luonan towards the medical tent without saying anything, her steps were fast and urgent, fearing that there would be problems with his wound.

The smile on Pei Luonan's lips never faded. The wound on his arm still hurt, but his heart felt warm as if it were bathed in sunshine.

He knew that after the life-and-death moment just now, the last bit of hesitation in Gu Fanxing's heart should have completely disappeared.

In the medical tent, Gu Fanxing took iodine and carefully helped Pei Luonan clean the wound on his arm, his eyes full of heartache.

Pei Luonan looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but reach out and gently hold her wrist: "Xingxing, I want to ask you again, are you willing to...formally date me?"

Gu Fanxing looked into his eyes, which reflected her own image and his full sincerity.

She sniffed, the corners of her mouth slowly raised, her voice clear and firm: "I do. Pei Luonan, I like you, and I want to officially date you."

Pei Luonan's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with stars.

He stood up, ignoring the wound on his arm, and hugged Gu Fanxing tightly in his arms, his voice full of cherishment after losing and regaining her: "That's great...Xingxing, that's great."

Gu Fanxing leaned in his arms, and his strong heartbeat made her feel at ease.

The fear from before hasn't completely dissipated, but what's more, I feel at ease - it turns out that the true feelings at the critical moment of life and death are the clearest.

She knew that from this moment on, she would never hesitate or retreat again, because she was finally sure that Pei Luonan was the person worthy of entrusting her life to.

In the distant exploration area, the team members were still busy. Ling Jiuer smiled and sent a message to Xiao Fangfei: "Great news! Xingxing and President Pei are officially together! They just went through a life-and-death test, and their relationship has been sublimated!"

The two people in the tent hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to melt the twenty years of waiting into this hug.

The road ahead is still long, but they know that as long as they have each other by their side, they have nothing to fear.
