Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

Jiang Xu squeezed his hand and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be nervous. If you misread it, we can just try again."

They have a whole day to handle this.

Feeling the trembling in his palm gradually subside, Jiang Xu looked up at Joseph and said, "Thank you, we're ready."

As the recording began, Jiang Xu read the text on the document slowly and deliberately. Fei seemed to relax a lot because of his reassurance and recited the oath smoothly.

Joseph watched the two insects swearing their oaths on the camera, a dark line flashing across his face.

Did they read something wrong?

No, not only was it not mispronounced, but it was also exceptionally smooth and fluent.

but--

It was too formal; it didn't sound like a wedding vow, but rather like a press conference or a leader's speech.

After the first recording was finished, Joseph looked at the two insects staring at him, somewhat speechless.

After Jiang Xu finished reading, he looked up and saw this scene. He saw Joseph looking at him with an indescribable look. It took a while for the female insect's face to return to normal.

Then, looking at them with a troubled expression, he said, "Gentlemen, why don't you two watch the replay yourselves?"

Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow, knowing without looking that the other person's words had a hidden meaning, and asked directly, "What's the problem? Just say it."

Fei, who was about to take a step, pulled his leg back and looked at Joseph.

He felt he read it quite well.

Hmm—Jiang Xu read it better.

Throughout the conversation, the other party's deep, resonant voice rang in his ears, carrying a formal and weighty quality.

It sounded so good that his ears were numb from reading it.

He couldn't understand why Joseph would make that face.

"Gentlemen, do you know where this place is?" Joseph asked hesitantly, looking at the two insects' confused eyes.

"Marriage registration office, what's wrong?" Jiang Xu answered his inexplicable question in a good mood.

There wasn't a trace of impatience on his face.

"Hmm... If you hadn't said anything, I would have really thought you two were holding a press conference."

"..." Jiang Xu frowned slightly, asking uncertainly, "Very similar?"

"Very similar," Joseph nodded affirmatively.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Xu asked sincerely, "I'm sorry, this is my first time taking an oath, I don't have much experience. Do you have any reference videos?"

Joseph was pleased to see that the male insect was not displeased by his frankness, but rather willing to learn.

Polite and good-tempered male insects are always more likely to win the favor of female insects.

He immediately found what he considered to be the best video footage from the camera and projected it in front of the two insects.

The next second, a cheerful and impassioned oath was uttered.

"..." Jiang Xu paused for two seconds, realizing this style clearly didn't suit him, and asked, "Anything else?"

Joseph was puzzled: "This is the most popular one! Look, the male insect has a smiling face and gentle eyes, and every vow he makes can be drawn out in silk."

Looking at the female insect, she is calm, composed, and collected; they are clearly a match made in heaven.

A perfect match!

"Are there... options that aren't so expensive?" Jiang Xu admitted that he couldn't do that.

That certainly didn't resemble a press conference, but it wasn't like an oath either; it was more like a poetry recitation, okay?

"I deliberately designed this presentation, and it got a lot of likes from female users online," Joseph explained.

"Deliberately...designed?" Jiang Xu was somewhat puzzled.

Fei gently squeezed Jiang Xu's hand and explained under his puzzled gaze, "Many male insects are unwilling to come to the registration office in person."

Therefore, many mating photos of female insects are actually composited with special effects added later by the registration office based on photos provided by the male insects.

"You can do that?" Jiang Xu asked in surprise. Even the female queens—these male insects would do that?

"Yes, that's certainly possible." It wasn't Fei who responded, but Joseph, who was sitting opposite them. "Nearly two-thirds of my clients have their photos taken this way."

It seems that at least a third of the male insects still have some conscience, Jiang Xu thought to himself.

Joseph seemed to see through his thoughts in his eyes and added, "Don't overthink it. Of the remaining third, they are basically insects that don't want to leave their mark."

Those were insects that wouldn't even allow their own mates to pose for photos; they just took a perfunctory picture and left.

"Alright, alright, look, I found another good one." He didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer and immediately played another video.

"This should suit your personalities better."

Compared to the previous video, this one is indeed much more restrained in style.

With the reference template, Jiang Xu and Fei's performance became much more natural—appropriate pauses and slight emotional expressions.

Although not as loud as the previous two videos, it better suits the temperament of the two insects.

Jiang Xu turned to look at Fei, his gaze focused and profound, as if he wanted to etch the other's image into the depths of his soul, to make it firmly fused with his own:

"In good times and bad, I will walk with you, I swear by my blood and spirit."

Fei felt the warmth in that gaze, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xu, a slight smile playing on his lips. He turned his head to meet Jiang Xu's gaze, returning the same look.

"I swear by my blood and honor that I will serve you faithfully for the rest of my life, until death do us part."

Jiang Xu's eyes softened further as he tightened his grip on Fei's hand: "For the rest of my life, I hope Major General Fei will guide me."

Fei was stunned for a moment. The oath was supposed to end after he finished speaking, and this last sentence was undoubtedly added by Jiang Xu on the spot.

He quickly realized what was happening, grasped Jiang Xu's hand in return, slowly raised it, and, under the other's gaze, lowered his head to place a devout and sincere kiss on the back of his hand:

"Yes. For the rest of my life, I will walk alongside my lord."

Although the words were simple, they were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the two insects.

The video ends with this scene: Joseph looks at the two insects standing facing each other in the camera and thinks: These two insects must really love each other.

He saw what they called love in their eyes.

"Okay, perfect." He pressed the stop button and looked up at the two insects on the camera platform.

They had returned to normal by then and were looking at him. Upon hearing this, they walked straight down.

"Then, could you please send me a copy of the video?" Jiang Xu walked up to Joseph and handed him the communicator on his wrist.

"Just a moment." Joseph put the camera back around his neck, adjusted the strap, and then replied, "I need to do some simple editing before I can send it to you."

"Would you like to add my contact number first?"

Before Jiang Xu could even open his mouth, Fei, who was beside him, had already grabbed his wrist, pulled his hand back to his side, and then extended his communicator: "I'll add you, thank you."
