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

At six in the morning, the ruins were still shrouded in mist, so Pei Luonan got up quietly, fearing that he would wake up Gu Fanxing.

When Gu Fanxing woke up, she saw Pei Luonan walking in with breakfast.

"Are you awake? Come wash up! I just came back from the county town, and the red bean paste buns the boss left are still steaming!"

She looked up at Pei Luonan and found that he was already wearing a dark gray suit with a white shirt underneath, his tie was neatly tied, and his hair was combed neatly. He looked a little more formal than usual, but still gentle.

"Why are you dressed so formally today?"

"My star is going to give a lecture on stage, so of course I have to dress formally. I can't embarrass you."

After Gu Fanxing finished eating, Pei Luonan handed over the ironed shirt with a smile, "Try it on to see if it fits. If there's anything uncomfortable, I'll adjust it."

Gu Fanxing took the shirt and put it on. The shallow V-neck design was just right, neither squeezing the neck nor revealing the skin; the pearl buttons on the cuffs could be fastened with a simple click, and would not slide down like before; the length of the shirt was also just right.

She looked at herself in the mirror. With the pearl brooch given by Pei's mother pinned to her collar, she looked both formal and gentle.

"It fits perfectly, like it was tailor-made." Gu Fanxing's eyes were full of surprise.

“It’s tailor-made.”

At 7:30, the two set off on time.

There is Gu Fanxing's favorite light music playing in the car, which can make people relax.

Pei Luonan was afraid that she would be nervous, so he would chat with her about some light topics from time to time.

"We'll get to the museum soon. I'll talk to the staff about connecting the equipment first. You can find a quiet place backstage and practice the opening again. Don't worry, we have plenty of time."

"Yeah." Gu Fanxing nodded, looking at the green wheat seedlings passing by outside the window, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually lessened.

At 8:30, the car arrived at the Provincial Museum.

When I walked into the lecture hall, the staff were already debugging the equipment.

Pei Luonan immediately walked over and communicated with the staff in detail. He asked the staff to play Gu Fanxing's PPT. After confirming that there was no problem, he told the staff to prepare an extra microphone and two batteries in case of emergency.

Gu Fanxing stood backstage, watching Pei Luonan busying around, taking every detail into consideration, and felt at ease.

She took out the folder and quickly browsed through the supplementary information. She was still a little nervous, worried that she would not speak well and disappoint everyone's expectations.

Pei Luonan dealt with the equipment and walked to the backstage. He saw her hands tightly holding the folder, her knuckles turning white.

He immediately held her hand and rubbed it gently: “Don’t be nervous, you practiced very well yesterday, from the process of discovering the porcelain fragments to the value of the kiln, every part was explained very clearly.

I'm sitting in the first row, and once you see me, you won't be nervous anymore."

He helped her tidy up her hair and said, "You look particularly beautiful today, more beautiful than any artifact in the museum. The audience will definitely enjoy listening to you."

Gu Fanxing was amused by him, and her nervousness dissipated a lot.

She looked into Pei Luonan's eyes, which were full of encouragement and love, as if filled with starlight, giving her confidence instantly.

When the lecture officially began, the lecture hall was full of people, including museum staff, colleagues in the archaeological field, and many viewers who were interested in ceramics.

As Gu Fanxing walked onto the stage, warm applause immediately broke out from the audience, louder than she had imagined.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Fanxing. I am honored to be here today to share with you the discovery process of the 'Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowl' at the Yang County site." Gu Fanxing held the microphone, his voice clear and steady.

"This porcelain bowl was unearthed from the late Song Dynasty soil layer in Area 3. We had just experienced a heavy rain, and while clearing the accumulated water, we stumbled upon a piece of pale green clay. At first, we thought it was just an ordinary fragment, but the more we cleaned, the more complete it became. In the end, we actually dug out a whole porcelain bowl..."

Following the rhythm she had practiced before, she methodically explained the process of discovering the porcelain bowl - from the emergency protection after the rain, to the careful cleaning, to the process of confirming the kiln. Every detail was described with extraordinary vividness, making the audience feel as if they were there.

The audience listened very attentively, some took notes and some took photos, and they were obviously attracted by her explanation.

The one-hour lecture ended quickly. When Gu Fanxing bowed to express her gratitude, there was warm applause from the audience, louder than at the beginning. Some people even whistled, obviously showing that they were very satisfied with her lecture.

Professor Wang walked onto the stage, shook her hand, his eyes full of admiration.

"Ms. Gu, your presentation was brilliant! The structure was clear, the content was solid, and the language was so vivid. It was better than many experienced researchers! Not only did you unearth precious artifacts, but you were also able to tell their stories to more people. This is the true meaning of archaeology!"

At this time, Pei Luonan walked onto the stage holding a bouquet of sunflowers, "Congratulations, my star, you really shined today, even brighter than these sunflowers."

Gu Fanxing took the sunflower, a faint floral fragrance lingered around her nose, her eyes slightly warmed, and looking at Pei Luonan's gentle eyes, she couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

When the audience saw this scene, they laughed and applauded. Some took out their mobile phones to take pictures to record this warm moment. The lecture hall was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

When she left the stage, many audience members gathered around to ask archaeological questions, such as, "How do you determine the age of porcelain fragments?", "Can ordinary people participate in archaeological research?", "What are the follow-up research plans for the Qingning Kiln? Will there be related exhibitions in the future?", and some praised her lecture: "It was so good! It has piqued my interest in archaeology."

Gu Fanxing patiently answered every question, and Pei Luonan would also supplement it. For example, when someone asked "How to protect porcelain fragments during archaeological excavations", Pei Luonan explained in detail methods such as "layered cleaning", "soft brush cleaning", and "sealed preservation". The two cooperated with each other tacitly, like partners of many years.

After the audience dispersed, Professor Wang said with a smile: "Ms. Gu, Luo Nan, you two are really a match made in heaven. One of you understands archaeology and can make professional knowledge lively and interesting; the other knows how to photograph the ancients and can take every detail into consideration. You will definitely make greater achievements in the archaeological field in the future!

I've already told the museum director that I'd like to invite you to participate in the 'Song Dynasty Folk Kiln Special Exhibition' to showcase the 'Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowls' and your research findings, so that more people can learn about the story of the 'Qingning Kiln'."

Gu Fanxing opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Really? Thank you, Professor Wang! We will definitely prepare well!"

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

Professor Wang patted her shoulder.

"Have a good rest, we will slowly connect with the follow-up matters."

When leaving the museum, Gu Fanxing was sitting in the car, holding a sunflower, with a smile on her lips, and even her eyes curved into crescents. She looked at Pei Luonan and said softly: "Luonan, when I saw you on the stage just now, I was not nervous at all. Your eyes are brighter than the lights in the audience, and more precious than the cultural relics in the museum."

"Because I only have eyes for you."

Pei Luonan turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness, and reached out to gently hold her hand.

"In the future, you will stand on more podiums and visit more museums. I will always sit in the front row and be your most loyal listener and your strongest supporter."

The car was driving on the way home. The sunlight shone through the car window onto the sunflowers and onto the two people's clasped hands, stretching their shadows very long.

Gu Fanxing looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, her heart filled with happiness.

The success of this lecture on "Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowls" is not only an important milestone in her archaeological career, but also a testimony to her love with Pei Luonan.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered in the future, as long as he was by her side, she could pursue her dreams fearlessly, because he was her lover, her confidant, and the eternal star in her life.
