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

The lights in the tent cast a soft warm glow. Gu Fanxing sat in front of a small table, her fingertips gently stroking the silver pendant around her neck - it shone with a delicate luster under the light, and the small words "Porcelain of Fanxing, Companion of Luonan" on the back were like a piece of candy hidden in her heart.

Pei Luonan sat beside her, imported the lecture photos into the computer, and the screen froze on the moment she bowed: behind her was the applause of the audience, and he was in the first row holding up his mobile phone, the stars in his eyes brighter than the lights.

"The photos today are great," Gu Fanxing leaned over and pointed at the photo of the two of them hugging and laughed, "Look at you, your smile is so silly."

"How can I not be stupid when I see you glowing?"

Pei Luonan rubbed her hair, and her earlobe felt a little itchy when his fingertips brushed against it.

"I've saved all of these and will print them out and make an album called 'Our Archaeological Love Album'."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Fanxing's cell phone rang. The moment the word "Fang Fei" popped up, her eyes lit up.

Xiao Fangfei must have seen the group message and called specifically.

"Fang Fei!"

She pressed the answer button, her voice still filled with the excitement after the lecture.

"Did you see the video Jiuer posted?"

"More than just swiping it!"

Xiao Fangfei's voice was clear on the other end of the phone, with the roar of a motorcycle floating in the background.

"I just finished cleaning the car in the repair shop, and my hands were covered in grease, so I took out my phone to check. When you were standing on the platform talking about the tiles, your eyes lit up like little suns, brighter than when I won the competition!"

Gu Fanxing smiled and leaned on Pei Luonan's shoulder, warmth rising from the bottom of her heart.

"That's not even that exaggerated. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. If Luo Nan hadn't given me water to cheer me up, I might have forgotten the lyrics long ago."

"Pei Luonan will definitely take good care of you!"

Xiao Fangfei's teasing was full of sincerity.

"I remember when you forgot your words during your middle school speech, I had to make faces to save the situation! Now that I have him as my 'exclusive backup,' I feel much more at ease."

"How dare you bring that up!"

Gu Fanxing laughed out loud when she recalled the old days.

"The note you handed me said 'Look at me if you forget the words', but when I looked up, you made these funny faces and I burst out laughing on the spot."

"That will help you relieve your tension!"

Xiao Fangfei also smiled, her tone suddenly serious. "Xingxing, seeing you like this, I'm so happy. You used to say 'archaeology is everything,' but now with Pei Luonan and us, you're no longer alone."

Oh, and I heard Professor Wang invited you to participate in the Song Dynasty Folk Kiln Exhibition? When it opens, I'll take my team of friends to show them how amazing my sisters are!

Pei Luonan silently took Gu Fanxing's cup, refilled it with warm water, and handed it to her.

Gu Fanxing took a sip and responded softly: "Okay, I'll show you the real 'Qingning Kiln Porcelain Bowl' then. It's even more warm and smooth than the photo.

Don't try too hard in the competition, we will all cheer you on."

"Don't worry! Kong Haoyu is watching the motorcycle, so there's nothing wrong with it!" Xiao Fangfei's voice faded away. "I have to go pack up my tools. You guys celebrate well, don't just focus on organizing the materials!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Fanxing's eyes were still wet, and Pei Luonan helped her wipe away the tears: "Fangfei is closer to you than a real sister."

"Yeah," she leaned into his arms, "When I was wronged in school before, she would pick me up on her motorcycle and take me to eat beef soup and chat until midnight. Now she is pursuing her dream of racing, and I hope everything goes well for her."

Pei Luonan was about to answer when his cell phone rang, and the words "Kong Haoyu" popped up prominently on the screen.

He raised his eyebrows, pressed the hands-free key and put the phone in front of Gu Fanxing: "Listen to your brother Kong's 'Teasing Conference'."

"Boss! Sister-in-law!" Kong Haoyu's voice was filled with joy. The sound of keyboards tapping could be heard in the background; he was clearly working overtime. "I just saw Professor Wang's WeChat Moments. He said Sister-in-law's lecture was fantastic, and he even praised you as 'the most caring archaeological family member'! The group chat went wild. The photo Ling Jiuer sent of you handing water to Sister-in-law has been saved as our 'wife-loving template'!"

Gu Fanxing's cheeks flushed instantly. She reached out to turn off the speakerphone, but Pei Luonan held her hand. He smiled and teased, "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. Why are you following Professor Wang's WeChat Moments?"

"I just want to know about my sister-in-law's situation first!" Kong Haoyu said confidently, "Professor Wang also said that when my sister-in-law talked about the 'Qingning Kiln Glaze Color', the experts in the audience nodded and said they wanted to cooperate with them in special research! Boss, you have to reward my sister-in-law well."

"We just had a celebratory cake, and Luo Nan also bought sunflowers." Gu Fanxing couldn't help laughing.

"Sunflowers are not enough!" Kong Haoyu said anxiously. "Sister-in-law is so amazing, a big diamond ring is not too much! Oh, by the way, Du Fei said you checked with him three times yesterday to see if the backup microphone was ready. You were more concerned about it than discussing the project. Were you staring at your sister-in-law the whole time and didn't even hear Professor Wang talking to you?"

Pei Luonan raised his eyebrows: "Are you envious? Then hurry up and conquer your little girl!"

The line was suddenly jammed. After a few seconds, Kong Haoyu mumbled, "I... I'm busy! Xiao Fangfei asked me to help her check the brakes on her motorcycle. I have to go get the parts."

Gu Fanxing and Pei Luonan looked at each other and laughed - Kong Haoyu panicked when he mentioned Xiao Fangfei, and he couldn't hide his thoughts at all.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," Pei Luonan's tone softened, "Help Fangfei check carefully. On the day of her competition, we will go to the scene to cheer her on if we are free."

"Really? That's great!" Kong Haoyu's voice immediately brightened. "Sister-in-law, can you give me a copy of your lecture PPT? I'll print it out and show it to my colleagues. When I talk to people later, I can say, 'This is my sister-in-law's research.' How proud I am!"

"Okay, I'll send it to you later." Gu Fanxing replied with a smile, "But don't use it to brag, I still have a lot to learn."

"How can I brag!" Kong Haoyu said quickly, "I really think my sister-in-law is amazing. I used to think that archaeological excavations were far away, but after listening to your story about the porcelain bowl, I realized it was like talking to the ancients. When I have time in the future, I also want to go to the ruins to see it."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Kong Haoyu reluctantly hung up the phone. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Boss, don't let your sister-in-law stay up late to sort out the information, otherwise I will tell Aunt Pei!"

Pei Luonan laughed helplessly: "This kid is getting more and more daring."

Gu Fanxing opened WeChat and the group was full of blessings: Ling Jiuer sent a photo of the two of them hugging, with the caption "Throw flowers to celebrate!"; Kong Haoyu posted three messages of "Sister-in-law is the best!"; Xiao Fangfei left a message "Wait for me to take Xingxing to eat beef soup!"

Warmth spread across the screen, and she handed the phone to Pei Luonan: "Look, everyone is happy for us."

Pei Luonan took the phone, hugged her tighter, and rested his chin on the top of her head: "You deserve all this. You are kind and serious, and you deserve everyone to be nice to you. You will achieve more in the future, and I will always be with you."

He reached out to turn off the computer, picked up the thin blanket next to him, and covered her legs: “It’s getting late, stop thinking about the information, and go to bed early.

Tomorrow we can sleep in, then go to the county town and buy you your favorite red bean paste buns and a bunch of daisies, okay?"

Gu Fanxing nodded, leaned in his arms, closed her eyes, and had a faint smile on her lips.

The wind outside the tent blew gently, carrying the scent of earth. The warm light inside the tent reflected the two people's clasped hands and the shining silver pendant on the table.

She knew that the success of this lecture was just the beginning. In the future, she would discover more cultural relics, stand on more podiums, watch more sunsets with Pei Luonan, and spend more years together.

And Pei Luonan will always be her strongest support, warmest reliance, and sweetest lover.

As the night deepened, the lights in the tent gradually dimmed, leaving only a small night light, like a guardian star.

Gu Fanxing slept soundly in Pei Luonan's arms, her dreams filled with the scent of sunflowers and his gentle smile - this was the life she wanted, with a career she loved, someone she loved, and warm friends, simple and beautiful, plain but precious.
