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

In the days following the successful proposal, the air in Qinglongpo seemed to be filled with a sweet atmosphere.

On Gu Fanxing's ring finger, the pale blue porcelain ring was particularly eye-catching. She looked at the ring, a gentle smile on her face. Pei Luonan was even more considerate, helping her share the heavy workload, and even taking time to learn how to make her favorite osmanthus cake from Aunt Zhang.

"Luonan, your osmanthus cakes are getting better and better, almost as good as Aunt Zhang's."

Gu Fanxing took a bite of the osmanthus cake, the sweet fragrance spreading in her mouth, and her heart was filled with happiness.

Pei Luonan smiled and ruffled her hair: "As long as you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on. By the way, the intangible cultural heritage education base will be officially unveiled at the beginning of next month, so we need to finalize the unveiling ceremony's procedures as soon as possible."

Gu Fanxing nodded: "I have already communicated with the Education Bureau and the museum. On the day of the unveiling ceremony, there will be leaders giving speeches and media reporters coming to interview. We can also invite some primary and secondary school students to experience porcelain making and let them feel the charm of intangible cultural heritage."

She paused, then added, "I also want to have Master Chen and Lin Xiao demonstrate their porcelain-making skills at the ceremony, and then play the documentary we filmed before, so that more people can learn about the story of Qingning Kiln's heritage."

Pei Luonan listened attentively, taking her words to heart.

“Okay, I’ll take care of contacting the media and setting up the display stand. You’ll be in charge of coordinating the process with the leaders. If we work together, we’ll definitely make the unveiling ceremony a complete success.”

Looking at Gu Fanxing's focused expression, he felt a warmth in his heart—he loved the feeling of planning the future together with her, loved fighting side by side with her, and working together to preserve the Qingning Kiln.

In the days that followed, the two devoted themselves to preparing for the unveiling ceremony of the intangible cultural heritage education base.

Pei Luonan contacted the media and invited them to report on the unveiling ceremony; he also set up a temporary display stand for Master Chen and Lin Xiaoneng to demonstrate their skills in kneading clay, mixing glaze, and carving patterns; he even specially made a batch of small celadon souvenirs to give to the leaders and guests attending the ceremony.

Gu Fanxing was busy coordinating with the Education Bureau and the museum to finalize the order of speeches and the arrangements for the experiential activities. She also compiled detailed historical materials on Qingning Kiln, made them into display boards, and placed them in the exhibition area of ​​the education base. She even personally taught Lin Xiao how to introduce porcelain-making techniques to students and the media to ensure the smooth progress of the exhibition.

The unveiling ceremony was a lively affair in Qinglongpo.

Leaders, media reporters, primary and secondary school students and parents crowded the intangible cultural heritage education base.

Master Chen and Lin Xiao demonstrated their porcelain-making skills on the display stand, kneading clay, mixing glaze, and carving patterns. Every movement was skillful and precise, drawing rounds of applause.

The students surrounded the display stand, watching with curiosity as Master Chen transformed the clay into smooth round shapes in his hands, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Look, everyone, this clay needs to be kneaded three hundred times to remove the air bubbles inside, so that the fired porcelain won't crack."

Master Chen kneaded the soil while explaining to the students.

"The glaze preparation is also crucial. It needs to be as thick as rice porridge so that it can adhere to the porcelain body and produce the 'sky blue after rain' glaze color."

Lin Xiao helped by distributing small pieces of clay to the students, allowing them to experience the fun of kneading clay by hand.

Gu Fanxing and Pei Luonan were busy receiving leaders and media reporters, introducing them to the history of Qingning Kiln and the plans for the intangible cultural heritage education base. "We hope that through this education base, more young people will understand traditional porcelain-making techniques, fall in love with intangible cultural heritage, and pass on the craftsmanship of Qingning Kiln."

Gu Fanxing said with a smile, her eyes full of determination.

Pei Luonan added, "We will also regularly hold porcelain-making experience activities and intangible cultural heritage lectures to invite more people to Qinglongpo to experience the charm of traditional crafts."

Media reporters took photos and conducted interviews, praising the preservation of Qingning Kiln and the construction of the intangible cultural heritage education base.

A reporter asked Gu Fanxing, "Ms. Gu, you and Mr. Pei not only protected the heritage of Qingning Kiln together, but you also accepted Mr. Pei's marriage proposal. What are your thoughts on this?"

Gu Fanxing glanced at Pei Luonan beside her, a happy smile spreading across her face.

"Qingning Kiln is our shared passion and a testament to our love."

I am so fortunate to have met someone who supports me so much, working together to carry on this legacy and planning for the future.

I believe our love will burn forever, just like the kiln fire of Qingning Kiln.

The preservation of Qingning Kiln, like our future, will always be full of hope.

In the osmanthus grove, celadon lanterns hang from the branches, interspersed with pale blue bouquets, and fresh pine needles cover the ground. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and the fresh scent of pine resin.

The villagers of Qinglongpo, Craftsman Chen, Lin Xiao, Ling Jiu'er, Kong Haoyu, Xiao Fangfei... all their close relatives came, dressed in festive clothes, their faces full of smiles.

Looking at the sea of ​​people at the scene, Gu Fanxing's eyes were filled with tears. She was very gratified and moved, and her voice choked with emotion: "I am very grateful to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the unveiling ceremony of the intangible cultural heritage education base. I am even more grateful for your strong support for this ceremony. I will work with everyone to protect this passion and inheritance, and carry forward the cause of archaeology."

Craftsman Chen stepped forward as a witness, holding a newly fired piece of celadon in his hand.

"I swear in the name of Qingning Kiln that I will pass on this craft and let it become more and more mellow and precious with the passage of time."

May your future be as bright and full of hope as this kiln fire.

The kiln fires of Qingning Kiln will witness your future, and the land of Qinglongpo will protect your happiness.

Everyone applauded, and the applause and cheers echoed through the osmanthus grove.

Aunt Zhang served up carefully prepared snacks, including osmanthus cake, sesame cakes, and corn porridge, as well as dishes served in Qingning kiln celadon bowls. Each dish carried the characteristics of Qinglongpo and the taste of home.

Kong Haoyu and Xiao Fangfei also went on stage to deliver their congratulatory speeches.

"May our archaeological work flourish and have successors. In the future, we will also work together to promote Qingning Kiln, so that traditional crafts can reach more people, the whole of Huacheng, and the world."

Ling Jiu'er also took out her camera and captured this happy moment, muttering, "This photo will be put into the Qingning Kiln's archives as a testament to the inheritance of archaeological work."

After the unveiling ceremony, Pei Luonan and Gu Fanxing stood side by side by the kiln, watching the flickering fire, holding hands, their hearts filled with happiness and contentment.

“Fanxing, thank you for marrying me,” Pei Luonan said softly. “I will always be good to you, always protect you, and always protect our shared Qingning Kiln.”

Gu Fanxing leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I also want to thank you. Thank you for being willing to support me, accompany me, and work together to carry forward the Qingning Kiln tradition and walk through every day of the future together."

As night deepened, the kiln fires in Qinglongpo remained bright, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers remained strong.

Pei Luonan and Gu Fanxing's love blossomed and bore fruit under the witness of the kiln fire in Qinglongpo.

Under their protection, the Qingning Kiln has flourished even more.

They knew that the road ahead was long and they might encounter many difficulties and challenges, but as long as they fought side by side, as long as their love remained unchanged, and as long as the kiln fire in Qinglongpo never went out, they would surely overcome everything, let the story of Qingning Kiln be passed down forever, and let their love be sweet forever.

The kilns of Qinglongpo not only produce warm and lustrous celadon and preserve intangible cultural heritage, but also forge sincere love and a happy future.

This love and legacy will burn forever, just like the kiln fire in Qinglongpo, forever bright, forever full of hope, becoming the most precious mark of time.
