teacher jc doing an online class for his students but he gets interrupted by jl who bursts into the room yelling JIUJIU and jc just facepalms but still scoops up the 5yo onto his lap as he continues the lesson while feeding jl cookies and humoring him once in a while
his students are in awe seeing another side of him bec jc had always been a strict, no-nonsense teacher at school. but here, jc smiles at jl, humming softly at his babbling. even as he switches to his strict persona to teach, the image has already been softened by jl's presence
the next class jc is alone, and one of the braver students asks where jl is. jc raises an eyebrow at this but answers that jl is playing with a friend. just as he says this, the door bursts open a gain and jl runs in chased by another child. jc sighs, "A-Ling! Jingyi!!"
the students coo at the two toddlers as they waved at the camera even as jc scolded them. some of them felt that this 'jingyi' is quite familiar tho. cue the entrance of another figure in the room.
"Ah, I was looking for these two. Sorry, A-Cheng."
Is that... art teacher lxc??
jc huffs as lxc lifts the two giggling boys and smiles at the camera on his way out. he turns to the camera with a glare, silently challenging anyone to ask questions about the earlier display. he then continues teaching as usual, finishing the class by giving his students work.
in another online class, the students notice that the venue has changed. the usually purple walls behind the teacher is now light blue. there is another question about jl, to which he frowns but still answers.
"he only stays w me on weekends. he's back at his parents' house."
there was a question about ljy too which he answers with "you guys are getting brave, aren't you?" and nothing else. the lesson continues as usual.

[xuanli is alive, they are busy with jyl's restaurant on weekends so they leave jl with jc during the day]
the next class, the camera has shifted a little to reveal some paintings behind jc. some of the students recognise them as lxc's but they're too afraid to ask. jc sighs as the door clicks open and ljy comes i running to his side. he giggles as jc picks him up as he did with jl.
ljy excitedly waves at the camera, and the students are graced with their teacher smiling fondly at the child. then jc puts him down and says, "there, you said hi so now you can go play with a-die."
The address of ljy's father doesn't go unnoticed by the students.
but what ljy says next shocks them further. "After baba teach, baba come play too?"
jc flushes, remembering his students are watching but he replies nonetheless, "yes I'll come play with a-yi."
happy, ljy waves goodbye and runs out of the room calling for his a-die.
the lesson ends up longer than usual bec jc is still quite flustered. his students too, with the knowledge that their teacher? is actually already married? and they never knew?? the question of who his spouse is still standing but with all the dots connecting, it can only be-
"Honey, are you done? Jingyi wants to paint with us."
lxc enters the room just jc is about to end the lesson. jc goes red so fast as his students probably heard everything and now the secret is out. his child, and now his husband too? oh, his students are having a field day!
lxc notices the camera is still on and realises.
"Ah, I'm sorry. At least I don't have to hide anymore. Your history teacher is my husband and we have a child together so no more love letters, okay?" he says. jc's eyes widen as he splutters at his husband's proud smirk.
the class ends abruptly. jc turns to his smug husband and hits his arm.

"you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"ah, stop, a-cheng, that hurts"
"I told you I'll go out once I'm done!"
"ow, honey! they sent you love letters!"
"they're /kids/, huan!"
"A-DIE, BABA, I WANNA PLAY TOO"
-and they live happily ever after-
