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

After Grandma Gu hung up Pei Luonan's call, her finger was still hovering on the phone screen, but she couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth.

She slowly walked to the rattan chair in the living room and sat down. The sunlight poured in through the window lattice and fell on the yellowed photo album on the coffee table. The cover was a photo of Gu Fanxing as a child. She had pigtails and a yellow and white local dog squatted next to her. It was Xiao Huang who saved Pei Luonan that year.

The old man stretched out his skinny hand, gently flipped through the album, and stroked the smiling face of Xingxing in the photo with his fingertips. His eyes warmed slightly: "Xingxing, finally someone loves you."

The last time Pei Luonan came to her house to pick up the heirloom, she could see that this child was really kind to Xingxing - he always mentioned Xingxing's preferences when talking, and his eyes were full of admiration when he mentioned the way Xingxing sorted the porcelain pieces. Even when he handed her a cup of water, he remembered that she liked to drink warm water. Such attentiveness was not fake.

I turned to a photo of Xingxing when she was in elementary school. The little girl was wearing a school uniform and holding a certificate for an archaeology knowledge competition. She was smiling so hard that her eyes were narrowed.

Grandma Gu recalled that when Xingxing was a child he always said, "I will dig up a lot of porcelain pieces in the future to find out their stories."

In recent years, Gu Zhifanxing has really devoted herself to archaeology. She feels distressed to see this, but she also knows Xingxing's persistence.

Now Pei Luonan appeared, understood her passion, and was willing to accompany her, which was more important than anything else.

"We have to tell her parents right away so they can be happy too."

Grandma Gu suddenly remembered her parents, who were traveling abroad. She quickly picked up her phone and, with trembling fingers, searched for the number. She couldn't quite remember the time difference abroad and was afraid that calling at this hour would disturb their rest. So she opened the chat box with Gu's mother and sent a message: "Dear, what time is it there? Is it free to call? I have good news for you."

Within two minutes, Gu Ma replied.

"Mom, it's just 8 o'clock in the evening here. We are sorting out the photos we took today at the hotel. Please call. Her dad and I are here."

It was followed by a photo of a sunset at the seaside. The orange-red sunset glowed on the sea, which was particularly beautiful.

Grandma Gu felt relieved and immediately called Mom Gu.

The phone rang twice before being picked up. Mother Gu's gentle voice and the occasional murmur of Father Gu flipping through photos came from the other end of the line: "Mom, why are you calling so late? Is there something going on with Xingxing?"

"It's a good thing! A great thing!"

Grandma Gu's voice was full of excitement, and even her speech speed was a little faster.

"Luo Nan just called me and said Xingxing agreed to officially date him! The two children are doing well now. Luo Nan also said that he will take good care of Xingxing, so you don't have to worry about them anymore!"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Mother Gu's voice was clearly surprised, a little choked with sobs: "Really? Xingxing really agreed? That's great! Her father and I have been talking about it for the past few days, worried that Xingxing would be too stubborn and miss out on such a good child. I didn't expect it to be decided so soon!"

As Mother Gu spoke, she could still be heard talking to Father Gu, "Old Gu, did you hear that? Xingxing and Luonan are dating!"

"I heard it, I heard it!"

Dad Gu's voice came from the other end of the phone, with obvious relief.

"That's great! Xingxing has been a stubborn child since childhood. Once he makes up his mind, he will not look back. It must have taken Luonan a lot of thought for her to come to his senses this time." He remembered that last time Pei Luonan made a special detour to come to a foreign country to see them, brought a lot of gifts, and asked about their well-being. At that time, he felt that this child was reliable - he didn't just say that he liked Xingxing, but really cared about her in his heart.

"Luonan is a really good kid."

Grandma Gu added with a smile, touching the album cover with her fingers again.

"Last time he came to our house to pick up the heirloom that Grandma Pei and Zhuang Ma gave to Xingxing, he said he would accompany Xingxing to sort out the porcelain pieces and would not let her suffer alone.

There was a small accident at the ruins a few days ago. Some soil collapsed in the exploration area. Luo Nan was slightly injured while protecting Xingxing. Xingxing cried out of anxiety at the time, and later confessed her feelings to Luo Nan.

Don't worry, Luo Nan's injury isn't serious. Xingxing watches over him every day while he changes the dressings, caring more about him than anyone else."

"Injured?" Mother Gu was still a little worried. "Luonan, why didn't you tell us? Did Xingxing get scared?"

"Don't worry, it's just a little scrape, it will heal soon."

Grandma Gu quickly comforted her.

"Xingxing was a little scared, but Luonan took good care of her and she was fine.

Besides, after this incident, the two children have become closer, which is also a good thing.

Luo Nan also told me that after the mid-term renovation of the ruins is completed, he will come back with Xingxing to see me, and then our family will be reunited."

"That's great!" Mother Gu felt relieved and her voice was full of anticipation.

"Her father and I are almost done with this trip. We were thinking of going back to see Xing Xing, but now that we know she and Luo Nan are doing well, we feel more at ease. When we go back, we have to bring some gifts for Luo Nan to thank him for taking such good care of Xing Xing."

"Don't be so polite, Luo Nan is not an outsider."

Grandma Gu smiled and said, "He told me that Xingxing likes to study porcelain fragments, so he helps Xingxing borrow rare books from museums. Xingxing likes to eat light meals, so he gets up early every day to make breakfast for Xingxing. He even remembers that Xingxing doesn't eat onions, ginger, or garlic. We can let Xingxing teach such a child, don't worry."

Dad Gu took over the conversation: "Mom, you are right.

The last time Luo Nan came abroad, he talked to us about Xingxing and said that Xingxing’s love for porcelain pieces was particularly touching. He also said that he would support Xingxing’s work and would not let her give up her career because of love.

I particularly agree with this point - our Xingxing is not the kind of person who would give up her dreams for love. Luo Nan understands her, and this is more important than anything else."

"you do not say!"

Grandma Gu's voice was full of relief.

"Xingxing has finally made it and met someone who loves her wholeheartedly. From now on, she will be in China and Luonan will take care of her, so you can rest assured when you are abroad."

The three chatted for a while. Mother Gu said she wanted to tell the good news to her friends who were traveling with her, while Father Gu said he wanted to pack up the gifts he brought for Xingxing before he reluctantly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Grandma Gu slowly walked to the balcony and looked at the roses in the yard. The last time Xingxing came back, she helped her water the flowers and said, "When the flowers bloom, grandma can pick them and put them in a vase."

The flowers are in full bloom now, pink and red, facing the sun, just like the mood of the stars now.

She reached out and plucked the brightest pink rose, and placed it in the blue and white porcelain vase in the living room, thinking to herself, "When Xingxing comes back, she'll be happy to see this flower."

In a hotel far away abroad, Gu's father and mother were still immersed in joy.

Mother Gu wiped the tears of happiness from her eyes and said with a smile, "Luonan, I was worried that he was a businessman and didn't understand the world of stars. Now it seems that I was overthinking it. He is not that kind of person."

"Yes! It's great that our Xingxing finally has someone who loves and cares for him.

From now on, she no longer has to stay up late at the ruins to sort out the porcelain fragments, and no longer has to eat takeout alone. Luo Nan will accompany her, make her breakfast, and accompany her to look at the porcelain fragments. This is the life she deserves. "

Dad Gu looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The moonlight poured in through the hotel windows, falling on the two of them, and on the photos and gifts on the table, full of warmth.

They know that although they are separated by thousands of miles, their family's care and blessings are never absent, and Xingxing's happiness is their greatest wish.

This good news that spanned mountains and seas contained the family's most sincere concern, and also reflected the warmest aspect of the relationship between Gu Fanxing and Pei Luonan - with the blessings of family and the cherishment of each other, such happiness will be like the roses in the yard, blooming more and more beautifully and becoming sweeter and sweeter.
