Different Paths, Same Destination; Replacing with a New Lock

Pei Su leaned over and hugged Cheng Li, his hand caressing his messy hair, silently vowing in his heart: He must find an opportunity to tell Cheng Li that he had just sold a large insurance policy, so his bonus was very high, and then give him a large sum of money.

Had he known earlier, he would not have said he was an insurance salesman. He should have said he was the CEO of XX Insurance Company, and directly kept Cheng Li.

The two of them were just like this, seemingly unrelated yet destined for the same end. Although their processes and ways of thinking were completely different, in the end, their thoughts and results were identical.

That was...

Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have worked as a locksmith.

Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have said I sold insurance.

A kind of "different paths, same destination" to some extent.

After eating, Pei Su went to wash the dishes. In their house, there was a rule: the one who cooked did not have to wash the dishes. Since Pei Su was a "kitchen disaster," the food he cooked could only kill people rather than be eaten, so Cheng Li usually cooked, and Pei Su washed the dishes.

But each time Pei Su washed the dishes, Cheng Li did not like to do his own things either, always clinging to him, bringing a small stool to sit at the narrow kitchen door and watch him wash the dishes.

Cheng Li watched Pei Su washing dishes in the kitchen, his slender waist swaying in front of his eyes. Thus, he could not help but stand up, squeeze into the narrow kitchen, wrap his arms around Pei Su's waist, and bury his head in his neck, rubbing back and forth. Pei Su was only slightly taller than Cheng Li, just the right height for him to rest his head on his shoulder.

Pei Su said helplessly, "Careful, water will splash on you in a moment."

Cheng Li replied, "It's fine. Brother Su has never splashed water when washing dishes; it won't get on me."

Pei Su also let Cheng Li be, allowing him to hug him like this.

Cheng Li suddenly asked, "If there is a door, and I clearly already changed the lock, but then some problem occurs with the lock, what should I do?"

Pei Su finished washing the last bowl. While rinsing it, he said indifferently, "Then just change it to another lock."

Cheng Li smiled, kissed his cheek, and said, "That's right, I've already replaced it with a new one. Aren't I amazing, Brother Su?"

Cheng Li's voice was clingy, like a child who had been given candy trying to please a parent.

Pei Su arranged the dishes neatly, then turned his head to kiss Cheng Li. The kiss was not long, just like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it carried infinite indulgence of an elder for a younger one.
