After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

The tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

The snow in Yanjing had long since stopped, but the sky was still overcast.

Ten days have passed since Lei Xingshan's late-night phone call bringing good news.

During these ten days.

Wei Yi witnessed what real hype was.

Chen Xinyi and Wu Zhenhe, both pregnant women, worked together more efficiently than people who weren't pregnant.

One was responsible for liaising with the education and propaganda departments, while the other was responsible for devising strategies and solutions.

Combining momentum with strategy.

That Western Zhou tomb was actually just so-so—

It's just an ancient tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty, Yan State, although it contains artifacts with inscriptions.

It wasn't even the tomb of an ordinary feudal lord; it was just the tomb of a nobleman from the Yan state of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, thanks to the planning of the two and the cooperation of the General Assembly, the situation was resolved.

It was hyped up and became the first major cultural event of the year.

Lei Xingshan, the head of the Archaeology Department at the United Nations University, is an honest man who is not even considered a prominent figure in the academic circles of the capital. In just ten days, he received interview requests from seventeen media outlets.

The old man was so excited that he didn't even change his old-fashioned military green cotton-padded jacket. He wore it every day for the camera, his dark face beaming with joy.

Wei Yi, as a typical example of "young entrepreneurs giving back to academia," was naturally brought to the forefront.

Today, CCTV reporters are coming to the school to interview him.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still not fully light.

Wei Yi was dreaming.

In his dream, he had just broken Su Mo's... Don't get the wrong idea, he broke Mo Mo's game record!

Just as he was about to brag to Chen Xintong, he suddenly felt a chill as someone pulled off his blanket.

"Get up! CCTV wants to interview you today."

Chen Xinyi, with her twins on her belly, stood by the bed, looking energetic and not at all like a pregnant woman who should be sleepy.

Wei Yi was still a little drowsy and reached for the blanket, but found nothing.

Beside her, Kim Se-rin, having finally gained some weight through her efforts to gain more flesh, mumbled sleepily, "Can't a person get some sleep this early in the morning...?"

As she spoke, she turned over, buried her face in the pillow, and a pale arm stretched out from under the covers, patted it haphazardly a couple of times, and then withdrew it back in.

The bathroom door opened.

Jiang Wan had finished washing up and dressed neatly before coming out.

She slept with Kim Se-rin just like last night.

But she's just not like the lazy Kim.

She wore a light gray turtleneck sweater today, and her long hair was loosely tied with a plain-colored hairband. She looked fresh and clean, and didn't seem to have been worn down by six in the morning.

"Sister Shilin, it's okay, you can go back to sleep."

She whispered a comforting word, then turned to Wei Yi, smiled, and said, "Honey, wake up. You're the star today."

"What main character?" Wei Yi yawned as Jiang Wan pulled him up to sit up. "I'm just a background character. The real protagonist is Teacher Lei's big tomb."

"You weren't in the picture at that big tomb."

Chen Xinyi smiled and tossed a dark gray Zhongshan-style coat onto the bed. "Wanwan, help your husband put this on. Today he's a 'young scholar,' not 'the only seed-planting team leader in our production team.'"

Wei Yi was half-coaxed and half-dragged by Jiang Wan into putting on a shirt, and his mind finally cleared up a bit.

"Sis, I don't even know where Liuli River is. What if CCTV asks me archaeology questions?"

Chen Xinyi clicked her tongue, her eyes clearly saying, "I knew it: You didn't look at the information I gave you correctly, did you?"

"I watched a little bit..."

"Stop making excuses."

Chen Xinyi waved her hand, "Wanwan will be by your side, and she'll remind you of things she can. Besides, you don't need to know anything about archaeology. You just need to smile and say some of the platitudes you're best at. As for the rest, Lei Xingshan looks honest, but he's much better at bragging than you."

Jiang Wan squatted down to help him straighten his trouser legs, her fingers moving as nimbly as if turning the pages of a book.

Wei Yi looked down at her and thought that this girl was becoming more and more like a virtuous wife.

"Oh, right." Chen Xinyi walked around to face him, stood on tiptoe to tie his tie, her technique even more skillful than Jiang Wan's. "When you get back, I'll have Momo give you a massage."

Wei Yi's eyes widened.

Chen Xinyi smiled sweetly and deeply, lowering her voice: "Yes, just like you're thinking of. I compared myself to her last night, and hey, this girl isn't any younger than me!"

Wei Yi: "..."

Alright, alright, it's so early in the morning, can you please stop doing this?

It's making me not want to go out at all!

He sighed inwardly, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

Chen Xinyi saw this and laughed even harder, reaching out to gently pinch his cheek:

"Alright. Go now, my young scholar."

It was a little after 8 a.m.

Conference room of the Archaeology Department of the United Nations University.

Lei Xingshan's office was temporarily set up as an interview room.

The backdrop was a makeshift bookshelf filled with archaeological reports and several replica bronze artifacts.

The lights were very bright, making Lei Xingshan's dark face shine.

The old man was still wearing that same old-fashioned military green cotton-padded jacket, his face flushed with excitement, and he held onto Wei Yi's hand tightly.

"Xiao Wei, when the reporters ask you how you discovered the tomb, just say, 'It was a hypothesis I came up with based on historical records and stratigraphic analysis when my teacher led us in the preliminary exploration.' Got it?"

"Professor Lei, when did I do any stratigraphic analysis?"

"I said you did it, so you did it!"

Lei Xingshan released his hand, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was covered with dense writing. "I've already thought of three sets of stories for you. Pick one and memorize it."

Wei Yi took it and looked at it, and wow, there were so many words!

The three explanations, ranging from "historical analysis" to "geological structure" and then to "feng shui," are all increasingly outrageous.

Finally, a thoughtful note was added: "No matter which set you use, you must add at the end, 'It was Teacher Lei who led the team to complete the most crucial work.'"

Wei Yi looked up at Lei Xingshan.

The old man looked sincere, his eyes filled with the message, "Student, my future depends on you."

Wei Yi folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket: "Teacher Lei, don't worry. I know what to say."

This is his area of ​​expertise!

9:30 a.m.

The interview has officially begun.

The reporter who arrived was a very sweet-looking woman.

She has a small dimple when she smiles, and her voice is crisp and clear.

A man carrying a camera followed beside him, looking very professional.

Wei Yi couldn't help but glance at the reporter a couple more times.

It's not that I have any particular thoughts, it's just that this girl's appearance is outstanding, even on CCTV.

She bears a striking resemblance to her older sister, but Chen Xinyi is more glamorous, gentler, more beautiful, and sweeter.

A better physique makes it more visually striking.

This one is more like a girl from a modest family.

In short, it's flat.

"...Wei Yi, I heard you were involved in the preliminary work for the discovery of this large tomb?"

The camera's red light comes on.

After a lot of groundwork.

Wei Yi subconsciously straightened his back and gave a perfectly timed smile.

His gaze was sincere, his tone humble, and his pace neither hurried nor slow.

"...I was just a student. The ones who actually did the work were Professor Lei and his team. All I did was trust them and contribute a little bit behind the scenes."

The female reporter was clearly moved by this answer.

Or perhaps her script required her to feign emotion at this moment:

"You're too modest. As far as I know, a large part of the funding for this excavation team came from your donation."

Wei Yi smiled slightly, but did not reply. He simply turned his head slightly to glance at Lei Xingshan sitting next to him.

Lei Xingshan immediately understood and picked up the conversation:

"Xiao Wei is such a low-key kid. In this discovery, several of his judgments were highly consistent with the later exploration results. I've been doing archaeology for over thirty years, and I've never seen such a gifted student."

Wei Yi maintained a humble smile on his face.

But in my heart I was thinking: I pay, he digs the soil, and I've never even seen what an excavation pit looks like. This guy's a rising star in archaeology? Fine, a rising star it is.

Intermission during the interview.

Lei Xingshan pulled Wei Yi aside, furtively took out the interview outline from his pocket, and turned it over.

A line of text was written in pencil above:

"When saying 'Professor Lei is a true scholar,' look upwards to show sincerity."

Wei Yi: "..."

He really wanted to say "old man".

How about we, master and apprentice, try our luck in the entertainment industry?

Maybe he can make something of himself.
