Loyal puppy × gentle owner
Shi Xu dies once, then wakes to find an Alpha lying beside him.
The man is holding him, his tail wrapped around Shi Xu’s ankle, like a giant dog.
Shi Xu: ???
System: You saw his face at the bar last night and insisted on getting a room with him.
Shi Xu: …So, should I let him live?
He thought it was just a wild one-night stand, but the man kept showing up in front of him every day.
When they met: “Teacher Shi Xu, I’d like to ask you to act in something.”
Blocking his doorway: “Teacher Shi Xu, please?”
His eyes shone like a dog’s when it spotted a bone.
Later, he pinned Shi Xu into a corner, eyes red-rimmed.
“I’ve waited a thousand years for you.”
“Could you… not leave me?”
Shi Xu watched his tail swish back and forth and reached out to pinch his cheek.
“Silly dog.”
“See? I came back, didn’t I?”

Pei Zhiyan: Honey, what do you want for dinner?
Me: Anything.
Pei Yuan, his uncle: I make “anything” really well. Just you wait.
Later, three wooden plaques appeared in the courtyard.
Pei Yuan, Ah Yuan, Master.
Every day, something appeared in front of the plaques.
A leaf, a feather, a pine cone.
Pei Zhiyan said, “They’re always watching us.”
Shi Xu said, “Then let them watch.”
After all,
we’re doing just fine.
