The laughter from behind the camera was extremely gentle. “Our Xixi is so clever. Great job. Is this Mommy and Daddy’s hand?” She pointed to where the two cylinders connected.

Little Zhu Zhixi nodded emphatically. “Yes. I like Mommy and Daddy… together, holding hands.”

“Mhm. You like Mommy and Daddy being together?” That long, soft hand caressed Zhu Zhixi’s cheek. “Because Daddy and I are partners, so we will always be together.”

“Part… ners?” The little one raised his small face, his eyes a little dazed. A moment later, he smiled. “I want that too.”

“Want what?” his mother pinched his cheek. “You want to marry a wife?”

Zhu Zhixi sat on the sandpile, his skin almost translucent under the sun, like a little angel. He nodded emphatically and said loudly, “I want to marry… the most, most, most beautiful wife in the whole world!”

At that very moment, the screen suddenly changed. The camera focused on Fu Rangyi’s face in front of a makeup mirror. He was wearing a white suit, no glasses, his hair just styled, with a few silver clips on top. He raised his eyes, stared at the person behind the camera, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

The screen was instantly flooded with comments.

[Holy shit…………… I literally gasped.]
[Truly, a husband’s beauty is his wife’s glory.]
[I was wondering why they didn’t show the husband’s face earlier. They were saving it for this.]
[Is this his bare face? Not a bit of makeup?]

Fu Rangyi in the camera squinted his eyes like a cat and gestured to the person holding the DV. In a deep voice, he said, “You have something under your eye.”

“Hmm?” The camera flipped, and a close-up of Zhu Zhixi’s face appeared on the screen.

[OMG, who understands the value of these two close-ups?]
[Xixi is so beautiful. In his usual videos, he has this vibrant kind of beauty. Today, all dressed up, he looks like a walking doll, super exquisite.]
[What magnificent and well-matched faces………………………]

“I’ll get it for you.” A long-fingered hand touched his cheek, a small part of a gemstone wedding ring visible.

“What is it?” Zhu Zhixi grabbed his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “This is a flower petal the makeup artist stuck on for me. Are you not wearing your contact lenses?”

“No, I’m not good at putting them in.” Fu Rangyi leaned back in his chair, staring at him. “You put them in for me.”

[I’m turning into a different color, sorry.]
[So dom… I think I’m seeing a glimpse of this little couple’s daily life in a certain aspect.]
[Put what in, put what in, what are they putting in??]

The DV was placed on the table. Zhu Zhixi walked over and stood between Fu Rangyi’s legs. He took out the contact lenses, placed them carefully on his fingertip, and shook his head with a smile, asking, “So, will you say, ‘Thank…’”

However, a certain someone had already learned to answer first. “Thank you, little angel.”

[No one told me it was going to be this sweet!!]
[This position, this lighting, it’s so beautiful, ooooh, perfect for a kiss.]
[I’m going to start a thread on the school forum, teacher… I’m really shipping this like crazy.]

Zhu Zhixi smiled, lowered his head, and carefully helped him put on the contacts. “Don’t blink, okay.”

[Someone’s hand is so naturally resting on Xiao Xi’s waist, ahhhhh.]

It took a while, but both contacts were finally in, though Fu Rangyi’s eyelashes had become damp. Zhu Zhixi turned to find a tissue to help wipe them, but his wrist was grabbed by Fu Rangyi. Unsteady, he fell right onto his lap.

“Trying to run away so soon?” Fu Rangyi’s gaze slid down to Zhu Zhixi’s lips.

[So smooth…]

“What are you talking about? It’s recording.”

[Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen Xixi speak so coyly.]

“So what?” Fu Rangyi smiled, tilted his head, and leaned in for a kiss. “…We can cut it out.”

The comments were already dominated by [Ahhhhh]. Huge swaths of onomatopoeia scrolled past, welcoming a new scene: the two of them sitting by the sea at night. Under the moonlight, Fu Rangyi leaned over and kissed him. Soon, the scene changed to a sparkling, jelly-like sea. In front of a pink coral reef, two people in snorkeling gear leaned in for a “kiss.” While walking in the forest, trying on suits, and the night before the wedding… one kiss after another, strung together like pearls, shimmering with a gentle light.

[Ahhhhhh, so sweet. Handsome guys in love are so easy on the eyes.]
[Not only did they not cut it, they made a montage out of it, ahhhhh.]

The handwritten text appeared again, stroke by stroke.
So what do you think love is?

Zhu Zhixi, in his suit, sat in front of the makeup mirror while the makeup artist attached his wrist corsage. He glanced upwards and smiled. “Love? It’s when I think of that word, I think of him. And when I think of him, I want to smile. And when he sees me smile, he smiles too.” After speaking, he pointed behind him. “See, see? What did I tell you?”

The camera shook and focused on Fu Rangyi, who was leaning nearby, the smile on his face not yet faded.

[Teacher, you have never shown such a smile to your students.]

“What does Teacher Fu think? What is love?”

Fu Rangyi thought for a moment, his gaze always resting on Zhu Zhixi. He said in a low voice, “A conceptual word that is very difficult to define accurately with language. It’s very complex and easily makes one lose control.”

[Such an INTJ vibe. Are you two a rainbow couple??]

“Describe it,” Zhu Zhixi stretched out his arm and tugged at the ribbon on his wrist corsage.

Fu Rangyi smiled helplessly. “I don’t know, love is…”

As the music changed, the scene also changed to a book being flipped open by the sea breeze.
At three in the morning, a groggy Fu Rangyi, in his pajamas, stood in the kitchen making plain noodles for Zhu Zhixi. Zhu Zhixi’s voiceover called out, “The water is boiling!” The bubbling water transitioned into ocean waves. Fu Rangyi emerged from the sea, holding a small piece of green lace-like seaweed. He came ashore and childishly wrapped it around Zhu Zhixi’s ring finger.

[Oh my god, what kind of husband material is this?]

A transition of fingers. Zhu Zhixi’s hand was held by a white friend. The camera pulled back, and the other groom, drinking by the apple tower, raised his hand, pointed his index and middle fingers at his own eyes, and then pointed them back at Zhu Zhixi.

[Hahahaha, your husband is watching you.]

Zhu Zhixi noticed and stuck out his tongue with a tilt of his head. The next second, the scene cut to another shot of him sticking out his tongue—the bad rabbit who had succeeded in throwing sand at Fu Rangyi on the beach. He was laughing heartily, extremely proud, but in the next moment, he was ambushed by others.
The moment the ball of sand hit Zhu Zhixi, the sparkling golden sand turned into snow. The scene also changed from a summer island to a world of ice and snow. Zhu Zhixi was hit by a snowball, squinted his eyes, but smiled as brightly as the sun.

“Teacher Fu—————come here quickly————”

[Oh my god, isn’t this our school? A lot of people had a snowball fight together last year!]
[Ahhhh, I remember! There was a super long thread on the S-University forum!]

The heavy snow fell quietly, gradually turning into feathers. Fluttering snow-like feathers drifted down in the abundant sunlight, like a net of happiness, covering the enthusiastic dogs that had gathered around, and also enveloping the two of them.

Zhu Zhixi, like the little dogs, was trying to catch the feathers. Fu Rangyi stood quietly to the side, watching him with a smile, reaching out to pick a feather from the top of his head.

The screen went black, leaving only their dialogue.
“It’s all over your hair.”
“My hair? Right, when are you going to grow your hair long for me?”
“Your ‘right’ is really abrupt…”
“So are you going to grow it or not! I’m telling you, I only act cute once. If I don’t get my way, I’m going to throw a tantrum!”
“Summer break, okay?”
“It’s already summer break!”
“So you haven’t noticed that my hair is a little longer than before?”

In the video, the screen lit up again, accompanied by a line of handwritten subtitles.
Someone is always hungry in the middle of the night. I suspect his stomach only works at night…

The lights suddenly turned on, and two figures in matching pajamas appeared. Fu Rangyi was wearing glasses, holding Zhu Zhixi’s hand. The camera was partially obscured by the apple tower.

[Did someone leave the DV here? Hahahaha, it’s become a fixed camera.]
[He looks even more like a husband with glasses on…]

“You really haven’t noticed I’m growing my hair out?” Fu Rangyi stood in front of him, ruffling his own hair. “You don’t think so?”

“I have. Why are you still stuck on this?” Zhu Zhixi pointed to the apple tower. “Cut me some candy apple to eat. I want the one you made.”

“The one I made was eaten by someone,” Fu Rangyi said.

Zhu Zhixi’s eyes immediately widened. “How is that possible!?”

“Just kidding.” Fu Rangyi smiled. “I put it at the bottom on purpose and even made a mark.” He found his piece, carefully separated it, and placed it on a plate.

“What mark?” Zhu Zhixi leaned closer.

“This one.” Fu Rangyi pointed with the tip of his knife. “A little red dot.”

[Ahhh, it’s the red mole on Xiao Xi’s eyelid. You’re so in love.]

“You’re so childish.” Zhu Zhixi laughed, looked up, and kissed Fu Rangyi’s cheek amidst the crisp sound of the apple being cut.

In the early morning after the wedding, the two of them, face to face, held small plates and crunched on candy apples in the quiet seaside night, their cheeks puffed out.

[They look like two hamsters transformed into humans. So cute!]

[There’s a certain beauty in having your soul sucked out by an apple, hahahaha.]

“Getting married is so tiring,” Zhu Zhixi said softly.

“Mhm.” Fu Rangyi wiped the corner of his mouth. “A lot of things went wrong.”

Zhu Zhixi immediately retorted, “What do you mean? It was super perfect, okay?”

Fu Rangyi fed him the last piece of apple, still reviewing. “When I was dancing, I think I bumped into someone.”

After hearing this, Zhu Zhixi thought quietly for a few seconds. He took the small plate from Fu Rangyi’s hand, then found his phone, scrolled for a long time, and finally played a song. It was the music they had danced to at their wedding.

“Then let’s do it again.” Zhu Zhixi extended his hand to him. “This time, you won’t bump into anyone.”

[Oh my god, my heart is going to melt. You two are so good at loving people.]

And so, the two grooms, in their pajamas and slippers, in the darkness, danced a dance that belonged only to them. They looked at each other and smiled, even their kisses filled with the scent of candy apples.

After they finished, Fu Rangyi asked, “Are you full?”

Zhu Zhixi looked at him. “Hmm?”

“Aren’t you tired? Let’s go back to the room,” Fu Rangyi said in a casual tone.

[Hahahaha, you think that hint isn’t abrupt??]

[Go back to the room to do what? Go back to the room to do what? I’m asking you, what are you going to do in the room??]

“I’m tired. After that dance, my battery is completely at zero.” After saying that, Zhu Zhixi, like a soft little kelp, wrapped his arms around Fu Rangyi’s neck. “You carry me back.”

Fu Rangyi smiled helplessly, but in the end, he still picked him up in a princess carry.

[OMG, Teacher Fu, you’re an academic dog, how are you so strong?]

[His fitness marks are so obvious, though.]

[The height difference is so shippable.]

Just like that, Fu Rangyi carried Zhu Zhixi away. However, the DV was still not turned off, the view now an empty scene.

[Ah, I just watched a Vlog, why am I having withdrawal symptoms?]

[This is the happiest video in the whole world. After watching it, my livor mortis has faded…]

[I want to see more. Can Xiao Xi bring his family on screen more often in the future!]

Unexpectedly, amidst the wails of the comments, footsteps appeared again. Fu Rangyi returned, carrying the person, and tilted his head at the edge of the frame, his eyes meeting the camera lens. Then, Zhu Zhixi, in his arms, also tilted his head and blinked.

[Ah, they found us!!! We’re saved!!]

“Who left this here?” Zhu Zhixi said. “Li Qiao, probably. Xiao En gave me his. Is the battery dead?”

The two of them moved closer. Fu Rangyi freed one hand. “It seems to be still on.”

[A one-handed princess carry, oh my god.]

[Ahhh, it’s being picked up!]

A large hand picked up the DV. After a moment of shaking, the screen changed to Zhu Zhixi’s face. He held the DV, pointing it at his face and Fu Rangyi’s collarbone, swaying with their steps.

“It’s still recording.” Zhu Zhixi smiled and looked down, winking with one eye, then the other. He then raised it up to film Fu Rangyi. “Husband, smile.”

Fu Rangyi didn’t smile, but he did raise an eyebrow.

Then the hand holding the DV suddenly became unsteady, and the camera almost fell.

[Holy crap, I almost fell to the ground. That was close.]

“Fu Rangyi…” Zhu Zhixi said through gritted teeth.

“Hmm?”

“Did you release your suppressing pheromones again? I can’t move my hand…”

“Sorry,” Fu Rangyi said without a hint of apology. “I’m not wearing the bracelet, so I can’t adjust it.”

[Where is there even a trace of remorse??]

“You can obviously retract it. Hurry up, I really can’t move.”

“I suddenly forgot how to retract it.” The camera could only capture the lower half of Fu Rangyi’s face. A faint smile played on his lips. “You teach me.”

“Me teach you?? I’m a Beta! You really are…”

Now the smile became more obvious, revealing the tips of his teeth. “What did you call me just now? Say it again, and maybe I’ll remember.”

“You… is this ability of yours voice-activated? Hey, no, why is it getting heavier?”

In the end, Zhu Zhixi had no choice but to compromise. “Husband…”

“Good boy.”

The screen went black, leaving only two lines of handwritten text. The font was different from before, more delicate and cute.
And so, the cunning Alpha doctor dog and the cute bad rabbit Beta lived happily ever after. The old adventure has come to an end, and a new one is about to begin! Thanks for watching~
