under the filth

When Tang Cen opened his eyes, his eardrums vibrated, sharp tinnitus screamed in his brain, and the roar of the plane engine made Tang Cen's temples throbbing.Tang Cen pressed the cartilage in his ears, and it took a while for the tinnitus to subside.

He turned his neck and heard a tooth-piercing cluck from the bones.Tang Cen shook the blanket on his body, then leaned lazily on the soft pillow provided in the first-class cabin, slowly retracted into the blanket and rubbed between his eyebrows.Long-distance flight is a very hard work for most people, and Tang Cen is no exception.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." The overhead broadcast sounded, and Tang Cen looked at the time on his watch. The plane was about to land.Following the instructions on the radio, Tang Cen straightened the backrest. Tang Cen leaned on the soft cushion and watched the scenery outside through the narrow glass window. His eyes were full of dots of lights, flickering in the dark night.

With a brief sense of weightlessness, the plane landed on the runway and taxied to the designated position.Tang Cen sat on the seat, moved his sore legs a few times before standing up, picked up his luggage and walked out through the cabin door.

Tang Cen stood on the covered bridge, the familiar temperature and the unfamiliar scenery made him lose his mind for a few seconds.He blankly followed the signs at the airport to the turntable, and watched the luggage being sent from above to the conveyor belt one by one, and then rolled down onto the turntable.

The phone in his pocket vibrated twice, Tang Cen turned it out and saw that it was a message from Lu Sheng: "Are you there?"

"It's here." When Tang Cen pressed the send button, he saw his luggage appear on the conveyor belt above.After his luggage was conveyed in front of him, Tang Cen picked it up unhurriedly, pulled out the cross bar, and dragged it towards the exit.

Tang Cen saw the driver who had been waiting in the corner, and silently handed him the luggage.

"Boom." The trunk containing Tang Cen's luggage was closed by the driver, and the young and strong driver closed the door a little loudly, shaking Tang Cen sitting in the car a few times.

Tang Cen lowered his eyes and looked at the phone, but after waiting for a long time, the dark screen did not turn on again.There was another bang, and it was not until the driver sat in the driver's seat that Tang Cen looked up at the hurried passengers dragging their suitcases at the airport exit.

The black car was driving on the road, Tang Cen leaned against the window and watched the rapidly receding night scene outside, fingering the phone in his pocket.

When they arrived home, the butler who had been waiting at the door for a long time greeted Tang Cen's car and took his luggage out of the trunk.He turned his head and saw Tang Cen standing silently behind him, and then hurriedly pointed upstairs: "Mr. is waiting for you in the upstairs study."

Tang Cen glanced at his luggage before slowly turning around and entering the room.On the second floor, he stood in front of the study and knocked on the door.

A deep male voice came through the door: "Come in."

After entering the study, Tang Cen walked to the desk and stood still: "Father, I'm back."

Tang Songyuan flipped through the documents in his hand and said without raising his head, "Well, how have you been in the UK for the past two years?"

Tang Cen held the hand by his side tightly, with such strength that even his fingernails turned bluish white.After a few seconds, Tang Cen's nerves were pricked by the tingling pain from his palm, and he silently relaxed his hand, and said without changing his face, "It's okay." However, there were a few deep red marks on his palm.

"Take a rest for the next two days, and go to the company with me next week." Perhaps it was Tang Cen's short silence just now that Tang Songyuan noticed, and he rarely raised his head to look at Tang Cen.

Tang Cen lowered his head, the shadow cast by the light on his hair blocked his expression at this moment.He knew that coming back this time would definitely not be an easy family reunion, but he didn't expect to enter his father's company so soon.

"Okay." Tang Cen quietly exited the study after agreeing.

"Click—" the door of the study closed.

…………

"I'm back." When Tang Cen opened the door, the apartment was quiet.He yelled into the room before he stuffed the key into his pocket, lifted the suitcase through the door and kicked the door shut.

When the door was just closed, Tang Cen hadn't had time to reach out to pull the suitcase, and just turned around when he was hit by Lu Sheng who rushed out of the room.The man who was holding him rubbed back and forth between the pits of his neck, his fluffy hair was itchy against his body.

Tang Cen rubbed Lu Sheng's hair, and the corners of his mouth raised a rare joyful arc.In this small apartment, there was another person waiting for him to come back, which made Tang Cen survive the three-month internship and twenty-hour long-distance flight.

"I miss you." Lu Sheng raised his head, kissed the corner of Tang Cen's mouth, slipped his hand into the hem of his shirt, slowly stroked up along Tang Cen's hip bone, and circled on the small protruding bone.

Lu Sheng precisely provoked Tang Cen's sensitive (sensitive) points, and Tang Cen, whose legs became weak from being touched, couldn't help but fell backwards, and shouted while avoiding Lu Sheng's kiss: "I haven't taken a shower yet!"

Hearing that Lu Sheng really stopped kissing, and stared at Tang Cen for two seconds, his whole body went numb.Just when Tang Cen was about to break free from his embrace, Lu Sheng suddenly picked him up: "Let's wash together."

"Wait!" Being caught off guard by Lu Cheng, Tang Cen struggled twice, but couldn't break free, so he could only wrap his arms around his shoulders and be carried into the bathroom by him.

Although it wasn't very late when Tang Cen came back, it was already dark, and the lights in the apartment remained on until the next morning, when the sky turned slightly white.

On the not-so-spacious double bed, Tang Cen curled up wrapped in a quilt and lay reclining on the bed.He put his head on Lu Sheng's lap, and Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the bed and dried his hair for him.

On the plane, Tang Cen didn't sleep all day, and last night he was dragged and tossed by Lu Sheng for a long time. He was overworked, and fell asleep halfway through.Now Lu Sheng is drying his hair for him, and the sound of the blower blades turning does not wake him up.

There was only the humming sound of the wind blades in the room. After blowing for seven or eight minutes, Lu Sheng stroked Tang Cen's hair to make sure that it was almost dry before turning off the hair dryer.Throwing the hair dryer on the soft cushion on the floor, Lu Sheng lifted Tang Cen up, moved him inside, and then hugged him back to the bed.

"Hmm..." Perhaps feeling the movement, Tang Cen snorted uncomfortably when he sat up, but he didn't wake up. After lying down again, he habitually shrank into Lu Sheng's warm embrace. .

Lu Sheng looked at the person who was leaning into his arms, and smiled helplessly, stroking the black and blue spots under his eyelids with his fingers back and forth.

Tang Cen wasn't by his side this holiday, but the two of them didn't communicate much. Tang Cen was very busy, so busy that he even sent back messages from time to time.Lu Sheng was a little uncomfortable at first, but now seeing his thick dark circles, his dissatisfaction was immediately forgotten.

"Thank you." Lu Sheng put his arms around Tang Cen and kissed the top of his hair.

It was not until evening that Tang Cen reluctantly opened his eyes.Lu Sheng tossed a little too much. When he woke up, not only was he uncomfortable, but his head was also groggy.

Tang Cen rolled back and forth on the bed before raising his head and looking around the room.He glanced at the desk and knew that this was Lu Sheng's room, but now Lu Sheng was not in the room.Tang Cen listened carefully, but he didn't hear any other sounds in the apartment, and he didn't know where Lu Sheng went.

The sheets on the bed had already been changed, except for the one under him which was warmed by his sleeping, the rest was cold even though it was a little wrinkled. It seemed that Lu Sheng had been gone for a while.

Tang Cen was lying on the bed, touching the cold sheet on the other side, but he couldn't help closing his eyes.His jet lag has not completely reversed, and he is still very sleepy, but in a daze, Tang Cen seemed to hear the door closing when Lu Sheng came back.

When Lu Sheng came in, he saw that Tang Cen was still huddled under the quilt, he didn't move, probably he hadn't woken up yet.He closed the door carefully, trying not to make a loud noise, but when he turned his head, he saw Tang Cen get out from under the quilt, only his head was exposed, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Woke you up?" Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Tang Cen's head.

"No." Tang Cen yawned and rubbed his palms, lying on his back next to Lu Sheng's legs, but saw that his face was a bit grim, he seemed angry.He tugged at Lu Sheng's sleeve: "What's wrong with you?"

After being pulled down by Tang Cen's sleeves, Lu Sheng suddenly came back to his senses. Instead, he held Tang Cen's hand, leaned over and kissed the corner of his eyes: "It's okay, there is just a problem with the subject."

"Oh." Tang Cen didn't know when Lu Sheng would take on a new subject, but the vacation was so long and he wasn't in school, so it would probably be boring for Lu Sheng to be alone.

Seeing that he suddenly started to lose his mind, Lu Sheng pinched the tip of his nose and asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

Tang Cen unhappily opened his troublesome hand: "Sleepy, still hungry."

Lu Sheng leaned over Tang Cen, and pressed Tang Cen's hand that was about to hit him: "Do you want to eat or continue to sleep?" Tang Cen was still sleepy, and he didn't know how to strike. Lu Sheng just hurt a little from the beating, but he was not angry. , he looked at the sky outside, "You slept all day, it's already dark now, you have to go out early if you want to eat."

Suddenly the weight of an adult man was superimposed on his body, Tang Cen struggled a few times without breaking free: "You are so heavy."

Lu Sheng sat up according to his words, Tang Cen stretched on the bed, and yawned long: "Go eat, come back to sleep at night." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, asking Lu Sheng to pull him up.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed Tang Cen's hand, pulling him up from the bed: "Sleep when you're full, are you a pig?"

"I'm not!" Tang Cen, who was still drowsy, was woken up by this sentence. He picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at Lu Sheng, defending himself, "I'm jet-lagged!"

Lu Sheng was unprepared, and only reacted after being hit by Tang Cen twice.He snatched Tang Cen's throwing pillow with his backhand, and sat around the people beside the bed: "Okay, okay, jet lag, jet lag."

"You..." Tang Cen yelled out a single word, but before he could reply, Lu Sheng blocked the rest of his words.

Tang Cen was dizzy from Lu Sheng's kiss, raised his hand to caress Lu Sheng's cheek, ran his fingers through his black hair, and felt Lu Sheng's more enthusiastic response.

What he had been looking forward to for those three months finally had a response.

For the first time, Tang Cen experienced the satisfaction of expecting a response.
