The actual internship was much more difficult than Jiang Se had imagined. The tomb discovered in Anyang was located in a remote area with a harsh environment. Staying in the cemetery for a long time and dealing with the dead required not only great physical strength and perseverance, but also overcoming the fear in one's heart and enduring the dirt and mess.
Once I arrived at the fields, I could no longer maintain a clean and tidy image. I had to squat on the ground and deal with the soil all day long. Although the weather in Anyang in October was not as hot as in July and August, my clothes were still soaked with sweat after a busy day.
At the beginning, the students of the Archaeology Department thought that Jiang Se would not be able to hold on for long. Many of them even thought that Jiang Se's coming to the Archaeology Department was just a whim of this now famous actress in the entertainment industry.
The professor who led the team was named Tian. He even told his classmates privately at the beginning to keep an eye on Jiang Se, just like Jiang Se was just walking on the catwalk. Don't force her to do something she can't do, and don't let her act rashly and damage the precious cultural relics in the tomb.
At the beginning, the classmates did have the same idea as Professor Tian. They had never come into contact with celebrities in the entertainment industry, but they often saw news about celebrities acting like big shots in newspapers and magazines. They originally thought that Jiang Se was the same, but after getting along with her for a few days, they found that Jiang Se was not the same as the female celebrity they imagined.
After arriving in Anyang, the interns from the school lived in a guesthouse closest to the tomb. The environment was not good, but Jiang Se never complained and followed everyone after entering the tomb.
While everyone was learning from the professor, she followed behind, watching from behind while studying the material in her book.
Half a month later, the classmates who originally had prejudices against her also changed their views of her a lot. She made rapid progress, and even later Professor Tian was willing to let her join in the indoor sorting. In addition to letting her take pictures, draw pictures and register the cultural relics, he would occasionally let her help with the repair and reinforcement of the artifacts. This was an affirmation of Jiang Se.
During this internship, Jiang Se's birthday arrived quietly.
She had been busy all day and received a text message from Mo Anqi and a message from Xia Chaoqun. She sent a photo of a set of jewelry. The message contained only a few short sentences, indicating that this was Xia Chaoqun's birthday gift to Jiang Se for her twentieth birthday, and reminding her not to neglect her own care just because she was in the tomb.
Xia Chaoqun would often ask Mo Anqi to fly here and bring her a lot of bottles and jars of skin care products. It was also because of Xia Chaoqun's reminder that Jiang Se had hardly changed in more than a month.
It was only after seeing Xia Chaoqun's reminder that Jiang Se realized that he had not completely left the entertainment industry, even though he was dealing with classmates from the archaeology department, tombs, and ancient residences every day.
Pei Yi took a leave of absence and flew to Anyang on Jiang Se's birthday. It was her 20th birthday and he didn't want to miss it. Unfortunately, Jiang Se was busy all day.
He cooperated with Jiang Se and booked a room in the hotel where Jiang Se was staying. From the moment he arrived at the hotel, his brows were furrowed.
The environment here is not good. It took him a long time to find it. It is hard to imagine that Jiang Se would live in such a place for a month.
Pei Yi waited here until nearly ten o'clock before he saw the interns return.
Jiang Se was among a group of students, looking dusty and holding a stack of information.
But even so, Pei Yi still saw her at a glance.
Her hair was tied up, revealing a beautiful face. She was wearing a loose army green windbreaker and was turning her head to talk to a girl.
Her height gave her a natural advantage among the crowd. Her long legs wrapped in jeans and wearing a pair of Martin boots made her look very energetic.
Pei Yi's sharp eyes swept over her classmates. Most of them were girls. There were a few boys who wore glasses and were about the same height as her. They seemed very shy when speaking in front of her. She must look down on them!
He immediately felt relieved.
“Thunder!”
Pei Yi waved at her. She turned around and her eyes lit up when she saw Pei Yi.
After saying hello to the people around her, she ran towards Pei Yi generously. Several classmates behind her were still staring at Pei Yi, obviously very curious about Pei Yi's identity.
"Why are you here?"
Pei Yi reached out to hold her waist, but she moved aside, not because she was afraid of being seen by her classmates, but because she had just returned from the excavation site, "I'm dirty."
He still held her stubbornly, and with his other hand he brushed the dust off her body:
"I missed you. It's your birthday, so I took a day off to come here." After he said this, he took Jiang Se in his arms and walked towards the hotel:
“Are there any surprises?”
"Yes." She nodded.
Jiang Se came out of the shower in the hotel. Pei Yi had already asked someone to send food to the room. She came out wrapped in a bath towel, her hair dripping with water, and wanted to lie down on the bed.
When Pei Yi asked her to get up and eat, she groaned and didn't want to move. She had been enduring the past month with her professors and classmates every day, but now that Pei Yi came, she felt uncomfortable all over.
He looked around for a hair dryer and got a towel to dry her hair.
Jiang Se has long hair, which has reached her hips.
When Pei Yi stood by the bed and wiped her hair, he didn't dare to look around. She was only wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her round shoulders and delicate collarbones.
The towel was wrapped around the armpits, covering the delicate body, and the long legs were bent as they sat on the bed.
"I'm so tired, Ayi."
She patted the bed and motioned Pei Yi to sit down:
"My arms hurt, my waist hurts, and my legs hurt."
With every word she said, Pei Yi felt more distressed for her. He used a hair dryer to blow her hair while he picked up the fruit on the bedside table to feed her:
"Why not go back to the imperial capital?"
"I don't."
She turned her head away, saw him sitting next to her, and leaned over:
"Besides, it has come to this, how can I go back?" She stretched out her hand and patted Pei Yi weakly, eating fruit in her mouth, and her words were a little unclear:
"I want a facial mask, a whitening one, from the box."
Pei Yi had no choice but to put the hair dryer down and go look for it again, and found it in the suitcase.
She had a lot of things, and he was a little dumbfounded. He originally wanted to ask her what kind of whitening mask she had, but when he turned around, he saw her lying on the bed and already asleep.
He originally thought that since she was asleep, there was probably no need to apply the mask.
But as soon as he sat over, she murmured weakly: "... Sister Chaoqun said that I can't get tanned, or she won't want me if I get tanned."
"She doesn't want it, but I do."
He softened his voice and held her in his arms. Her soft and delicate body leaned against his arms as if it had no bones. She closed her eyes and her breathing became even.
Pei Yi pinched her arm. After not seeing her for more than a month, she had lost a lot of weight and her arm was thinner. When he hugged her earlier, he also noticed that her waist was also thinner. (To be continued)
