Golden Toilet, Costing Over a Hundred Million?

Once received, it’s game over.

Jiang Li still prefers white toilets; it’s easier to notice when they get dirty.

Cen Lang may have noticed that the toilet is old and wants to replace it.

Just when he said he wouldn’t accept anything from Cen Lang, Cen Lang bought him a pure gold toilet. He even used it as a threat, saying he would only return it if Jiang Li hugged him. It was definitely intentional. This time it’s a golden toilet; what about next time? How can there be such an alpha?

Jiang Li choked. “No, I’ve ordered one myself, and it will be delivered today.”

Cen Lang, “Just hug once.” “If you don’t let me hug, I’ll have the factory mold and cast it.”

No one can watch pure gold turn into a toilet. Jiang Li doesn’t believe Cen Lang has placed an order, but if he doesn’t let him hug him, Cen Lang might actually buy one. Jiang Li stood in place and bowed his head in silence.

Cen Lang succeeded; soon he reached out and gently embraced Jiang Li’s back. Because of Jiang Li’s stomach, their bodies didn’t touch; he let go and stood up straight. “Okay.”

It was just a simple hug, not intimate at all, like comforting between friends.

Jiang Li was puzzled. What did Cen Lang want to comfort him about?

“Not to be taken as an example.”

Cen Lang promised, “Okay.” He wouldn’t return what he really wanted to buy.

Jiang Li: “Take me downstairs, and you can go back. I’ll let you know when the child is born.”

Notify me when the child is born. Why not just wait until the kid gets married to inform him about a feast?

Cen Lang: “How can that be? Since you allow the child to call me ‘dad,’ I have to fulfill the responsibilities of a father. I can’t share the pain of pregnancy with you, but I can provide nutrition and safety, indirectly nurturing the kid. That way, the child will be both my flesh and blood both physiologically and socially.”

Jiang Li: “…” He knew early on that he couldn’t eat Cen Lang’s food; it would establish a parenting relationship.

Oh well, he admitted it.

Jiang Li: “Then manage it well, and don’t overdo it.”

Cen Lang: “No problem.”

Cen Lang handed Jiang Li downstairs before giving him a farewell order: “Wait until you have the toilet installed before leaving.”

Jiang Li: “Installation is included.”

Cen Lang: “I’ll watch over. They won’t cut corners; otherwise, the toilet may leak or the drainage may be problematic. Can you notice these issues?”

Jiang Li: “I can’t tell; don’t pretend to be a real plumbing expert.”

Cen Lang: “I supervised the assembly of the White Flame Battleship; it also has a bathroom. How can’t that be considered experience?”

Jiang Li thought about it. He really couldn’t tolerate any problems with the toilet. “Then, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

On the way back, there was a pavilion and a corridor, and quite a few people were around.

Jiang Li sat down to rest. Glancing around, he realized it was a blind date corner. No wonder there were so many people in the middle of the day. Due to the long adolescence period, among those at the blind date corner, it was hard to tell if they were there for themselves or if their parents were there on behalf of their children. Jiang Li frowned, analyzing for a while, convinced that most were probably there for their children. He just thought about getting up when a big sister approached affectionately and asked, “Handsome, are you married?”

Jiang Li: “No.”

“I guessed right. You’re here for a blind date, right?”

Jiang Li: “How  could someone ask if a pregnant husband was there for a blind date? “No.”

Big sister: “Don’t be shy. Big sister has many resources. Do you want an Alpha, Beta, or Omega?”

Jiang Li: “Thanks for your kindness. I understand.”

Cen Lang looked gloomy. What kind of society was this? So many people wanted to become fathers? Cen Lang politely said, “Big sister, I was here first. Don’t take away my chance.”

The big sister was captured by Cen Lang’s momentum and reluctantly said to Jiang Li, “You see, I told you there are many people like this. Next time, you can come here and let the big sister introduce you again.”

After saying that, she quickly ran back into the crowd.

Cen Lang suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He had been in the Space Force for too long and didn’t know that the blind date market had become like this. He had to find a way to live together with Jiang Li.

Cen Lang took out his wallet and handed two hundred to the person. “Please take care of it. Otherwise, my wife will complain that I didn’t do a good job.”

“It’s a must. Your wife must praise you.”

This top-notch Alpha supervisor, even without a tip, dared to cut corners.

Jiang Li overheard the conversation in the bedroom. “Who  is his wife?

His rented two-bedroom apartment was very small, with almost no space for a living room. It had doors facing each other. He walked over and closed the bedroom door with a bang.

Installation worker:?

Cen Lang looked at the assistant’s text message saying “arrived” and smiled and said, “It’s okay.”

He got up to open the door, and the elevator door happened to open. It was filled with electrical appliances. Cen Lang easily moved them out, silently and without a sound. He pressed the down button, and after a while, he brought up many pieces of furniture.

The small sofa was too old and prone to dust; it needed replacement. The coffee table had one unstable leg that needed replacement. The dining table’s corners were too sharp; they needed replacement.

The skills of a top-notch Alpha were enough to silently replace all the furniture. It took just enough time to replace a toilet.

Cen Lang sent away the workers and skillfully found disinfectant tablets in Jiang Li—+’s medical box. He carefully wiped the new toilet clean and then cleaned the floor.

Cen Lang pushed the new refrigerator into the kitchen without reporting it first, filled it with fresh ingredients, put his bedding in the guest room, and even made the bed. He also brought the pomegranate, a gift from the planting star belt, without opening it.

Cen Lang peeled a plate of bright red pomegranate seeds, standing at the bedroom door, saying lightly, “Do you want to check the new layout of the house?”

Jiang Li: “No need.” Just a toilet replacement; even if it leaked, he wouldn’t get angry at Cen Lang.

Cen Lang: “Leave it like this?”

Jiang Li: “Hmm.”

Cen Lang: “Thanks for trusting me.”

Jiang Li didn’t understand. He was working on data for a part-time job writing textbooks and didn’t pay attention. Until he heard the sound of cooking outside, he suddenly realized something was wrong. He didn’t have a job.

Jiang Li went out to check, and the house had changed a lot. All the shabby furniture provided by the landlord had been replaced. Only the trash he brought from the dormitory, such as the second-hand desk lamp, remained unaffected. Cen Lang had been to his dormitory and knew which items were his.

The new furniture all seemed to have high price tags. Jiang Li’s face was expressionless. He walked to the kitchen and saw Cen Lang following a chef in a video, learning to cook with a proper apron around his waist.

Suddenly, he couldn’t speak, standing there and staring blankly for a long time.

The appearance of the parents in a home, in Little Jiang Li’s imagination, probably looked like this.

Sometimes Jiang Li felt that deep down, he had experienced it before, so he couldn’t forget.

He quietly took in Cen Lang’s pheromones, suddenly catching a whiff of the strange pomegranate scent of Omega pheromones. He turned to see a plate of peeled pomegranate seeds on the table and two big, round, intact pomegranates on the floor. “Did you buy so many pomegranates?” Jiang Li was puzzled.

Interstellar-era food merchants tried various methods to attract customers, such as having an Omega with beer-scented pheromones sell beer. Within a controllable range, customers could sniff collected beer-scented pheromones, and of course, there would be a high premium on pheromones.

Did he buy these two boxes of pomegranates from an Omega with pomegranate-scented pheromones?

Cen Lang, while making a decorative pattern with squid ink on the side, replied, “These are very delicious pomegranates; you won’t find them after leaving this village.”

Jiang Li pursed his lips and said, “Oh.”

“Have you smelled thousands of kinds of Omega pheromones?”

Cen Lang’s chopping motion paused. It was a tricky question that could affect A-level accreditation.

“My grandfather did look for many types of pheromones to cure me. It’s true.” Cen Lang decided to tell a harmless lie. “I haven’t smelled…”
