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

There are still three days before the lecture at the Provincial Museum. Gu Fanxing has completed the first draft of his report and is sitting in the tent, practicing his presentation on his laptop.

She was wearing a light blue shirt, her hair tied into a simple ponytail, and holding a laser pointer in her hand, she pointed to the photo of the "Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowl" on the screen and softly explained the discovery process.

"This porcelain bowl was unearthed from the late Song Dynasty soil layer in Area 3. We were clearing out rainwater when we suddenly discovered a pale green body exposed in the soil..."

"You can slow down your speech a bit here."

Pei Luonan sat on the small sofa next to him, holding a notebook in his hand, in which he wrote down the small problems he found while listening to Gu Fanxing practice.

“When you talked about ‘protecting the tiles after the rain’, you could have mentioned the team members’ help to make it more complete.

Also, the laser pointer can stay on the pattern details for a few seconds longer, allowing the audience to see more clearly."

Gu Fanxing nodded and practiced again according to Pei Luonan's suggestion.

She found that after his reminder, her explanation became much smoother.

She put down the laser pointer, walked over to Pei Luonan, and put her arms around his neck. "How are you so amazing? You even thought of the details of the lecture."

"For my star, of course I have to work hard."

Pei Luonan put his arm around her waist and lowered his head to rub her neck gently.

"Yesterday I specifically watched a few museum lecture videos and learned some tips, and I'm ready to teach you.

By the way, tomorrow we'll go to the Provincial Museum to familiarize ourselves with the venue and discuss the content of our report with Professor Wang. Don't worry, I've already contacted the museum, and they'll reserve a spot for us."

Gu Fanxing leaned in Pei Luonan's arms, feeling at ease.

She knew that Pei Luonan had made a lot of preparations for her lecture.

From helping her edit photos and organize materials to helping her polish and explain details and contact venues, he arranged everything he could think of so that she didn't have to worry at all.

The next morning, Pei Luonan took Gu Fanxing to the Provincial Museum.

There was soft music playing in the car. Pei Luonan was afraid that Gu Fanxing would be nervous, so he talked to her about their childhood: "Do you remember when we were little and went to the hillside to look for porcelain pieces? You always put the porcelain pieces you found in your pocket. As a result, when you were going home, your pocket was torn and the porcelain pieces fell all the way. You cried and went back to look for them. In the end, I helped you pick them up."

He also specifically told Gu Fanxing: "I checked the parking lot downstairs in the lecture hall, and there is a parking space near the elevator. You don't have to walk too far - I know you walked a lot yesterday to organize the materials, and your feet must be a little sore.

I also brought a folding umbrella. There's a light rain forecast for the afternoon, so you won't get wet when you get out of the car."

Gu Fanxing felt warm in her heart and reached out to pinch the back of his hand: "You even thought of these little things."

Gu Fanxing couldn't help laughing when she thought of her childhood. "Of course I remember! You laughed at me and called me a 'little fool', but then you broke the porcelain yourself and cried even harder than I did."

"That's because you gave me that piece of porcelain."

Pei Luonan turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"At the time, I thought I'd never be able to find it again if it was broken, so I cried. But now we've found a more complete bowl and we can study it together. We're much luckier than when we were little."

Gu Fanxing looked at Pei Luonan's profile. The sunlight shone through the car window onto his face, making his outline look particularly soft.

She reached out, gently held his hand, and whispered, "Luonan, I feel so lucky to have you here."

When the car arrived at the Provincial Museum, Professor Wang was already waiting at the door.

He took Gu Fanxing and Pei Luonan to the lecture hall, which had hundreds of seats and a large screen in front, which was just right for showing photos of porcelain tiles.

"Ms. Gu, go up and try to see if the microphone volume is appropriate and whether the screen brightness needs to be adjusted."

Professor Wang smiled and said, "If you have any needs, you can tell the staff and they will help you adjust."

When Gu Fanxing walked onto the stage, Pei Luonan immediately followed and helped her adjust the height of the microphone - he measured her height and adjusted the microphone to a height where she didn't have to look up to speak. He also tested the sound quality to make sure there was no noise before putting it down.

Gu Fanxing picked up the microphone and tested the volume.

Pei Luonan sat in the first row and made an "OK" gesture to her, his eyes full of encouragement.

She took a deep breath and began to practice explaining the discovery process of the "Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowl" to the empty lecture hall.

Pei Luonan sat below, listening carefully, occasionally picking up a pen and writing down the places that needed adjustment in his notebook.

After Gu Fanxing finished speaking, he immediately walked onto the stage and handed her a bottle of warm mineral water.

"You spoke very well, much more fluently than yesterday. I just have one small question. When you talked about the firing process of the 'Qingning Kiln', could you give some examples, such as the differences between it and other Song Dynasty folk kilns? This would make it easier for the audience to understand."

Professor Wang also came over and nodded with a smile.

"Luo Nan is right, Miss Gu, your report is very solid. It would be even more impressive if you could add some comparative cases.

I have some comparative data on the Qingning Kiln and other folk kilns. I'll send them to you later and you can add them to your report."

Gu Fanxing took the information handed to him by Professor Wang, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Professor Wang, and thank you, Luo Nan. With your help, I feel much more at ease."

At noon, Pei Luonan took Gu Fanxing and Professor Wang to a restaurant near the museum for dinner.

He specifically ordered the steamed sea bass and stir-fried seasonal vegetables that Gu Fanxing liked, and also ordered the Dongpo pork that Professor Wang liked.

At the dinner table, Professor Wang was still discussing the details of the lecture with Gu Fanxing, while Pei Luonan occasionally picked up some food for Gu Fanxing, picked out the fish bones before putting them into her bowl, and even left the freshest piece of meat by the gills for her. His movements were natural and considerate.

"Luonan's attentiveness towards Miss Gu is really enviable."

Professor Wang put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I've been married to my husband for 30 years, and he's never picked a fish bone for me like this."

Gu Fanxing's cheeks flushed, and she kicked Pei Luonan lightly, but couldn't help laughing.

Pei Luonan smiled and said, "Xingxing is the person I hold at the top of my heart, so of course I have to take good care of her and pamper her."

Before leaving the museum in the afternoon, Pei Luonan went to the supermarket and bought a bag of mint candies that Gu Fanxing loved and put them in her bag.

“If you’re nervous on the day of a lecture, just put a mint in your mouth to help you feel less nervous.

Oh, and I've also prepared a small card for you with some of the knowledge points you tend to forget written on it. Place it next to the microphone so you can take a quick look at it if you forget something."

Gu Fanxing looked at the mints and small cards in Pei Luonan's hand, and her eyes became slightly warm.

She knew that these seemingly insignificant details contained his full love.

He was afraid that she would be nervous, forget her lines, or feel wronged on stage, so he prepared everything he could think of in advance.

On the way back to the ruins, Gu Fanxing leaned in Pei Luonan's arms, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, her heart full of happiness.

She looked up at Pei Luonan and said softly, "Luonan, on the day of the lecture, I wanted to mention you at the end.

Without you, I might not even have the chance to protect a piece of porcelain, let alone stand on the podium of a museum."

Pei Luonan lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead, his eyes full of tenderness.

“Don’t mention me, that’s your achievement and it should belong only to you.

I just need to sit in the audience and watch my star shine, that’s enough.”

Gu Fanxing leaned in Pei Luonan's arms, closed her eyes, and smiled.

She knew that no matter what she would encounter on the day of the lecture, as long as Pei Luonan was by her side, she would have the courage to face everything.

Because he is the one who pampers and loves her in his heart, she is his support, and the one who accompanies her through the ups and downs - with him around, she can pursue her dreams fearlessly.
