under the filth

Although the seats in the bar were not too crowded, it was just right for Eisen and his party to sit down, but with the extra invited Tang Cen, it was not so spacious.Tang Cen looked around and saw all the unfamiliar faces, so he could only sit down next to Eisen who had met once.

Although he was still sober after drinking some alcohol, Tang Cen's senses were paralyzed by the alcohol, and he didn't notice that when he sat down, his little finger touched Eisen's hand on the armrest.

Eisen felt a smooth but cold object brush past the back of his hand, glanced at Tang Cen from the corner of his eye, and the place where it was rubbed began to feel slightly hot.Eisen withdrew his hand calmly, and rubbed the rubbed place several times in a place under the table out of sight of others.

Tang Cen's joining undoubtedly made Eisen more cautious, but the colleague who invited Tang Cen didn't hesitate at all, staring straight at Tang Cen's face, even when Tang Cen looked at him, he said obscenely He licked his lips.

Tang Cen was disgusted by the greasy and obscene behavior of the person opposite. Although he knew that this person had malicious intentions, he had already sat down, and he couldn't find an excuse to leave. He just hoped that other people would be normal.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward at the beginning, but fortunately there were people at the same table who were good at invigorating the atmosphere, just like Lily back then, and the topic quickly became a topic. People from two countries and working in the same field always get together There are various topics to discuss.

The red-brown curly-haired young man pushed the wine in front of Tang Cen towards Tang Cen. Under Tang Cen's puzzled eyes, he raised his hand to signal: "This is the signboard of this store."

Tang Cen didn't shirk, thanked him softly, and took a sip.I don't know when this wine was released, but it tastes really good.

Seeing that he didn't refuse his companion's drink, the others also let go and communicated with Tang Cen: "Tang, are you coming to England for work or for tourism?"

"Come on a trip." Tang Cen licked his wine-stained lips. He did not hide these insignificant things, "I have already resigned."

When Eisen heard that he had resigned, he keenly sensed the weirdness in it, and asked back, "Resigned?"

"Well, I don't plan to go back for now." Tang Cen looked at him.The sporadic lights of the bar fell on his dark irises, and Eisen almost sank into his eyes with dots of light.

Eisen stared blankly for a while, until the colleague beside him pushed his elbow and suddenly regained his senses.He raised his hand in embarrassment and rubbed the back of his neck, so as to look away: "Then where are you going to go next?"

Tang Cen was not annoyed when he stared at him like this, and even laughed lightly, he knew that Eisen's gaze was not malicious.

Alcohol was indeed a good thing, and Tang Cen was briefly immersed in inexplicable pleasure.

Tang Cen smiled, but he could always feel the disgusting gaze falling on him.To be on the safe side, he only gave a general direction: "It hasn't been decided yet, maybe go to Italy."

"Alone?" The person who hadn't spoken to him since the invitation was over suddenly spoke out. He had been secretly observing Tang Cen, thinking about what would happen next.

Although the person in front of him really made Tang Cen sick to his stomach, Tang Cen was not easy to get angry with his companion, and politely replied: "Yes, come out to relax."

After two years of immersion in the workplace, Tang Cen has also learned those twists and turns, hypocrisy and pretentious things.

Tang Cen said it lightly, but it was not the same thing when it fell into Eisen's ears.

When he was in college, Eisen had heard some things about Tang Cen. He knew that he had a lover at that time, and he also heard the news that they returned to China together.Now that Tang Cen resigned and traveled to Europe alone, Eisen couldn't help thinking about it.

Although the few people at the same table also heard something was wrong, they changed the subject because they noticed the wandering colleague.

The young man with reddish-brown curly hair seemed to be very interested in China, and asked Tang Cen repeatedly about China: "Is there any interesting place in China? I want to live there for a while during my next vacation."

"I seldom walk around the country, but you can go and see some famous places." Tang Cen was not lying about this. He had lived in a muddle before, never set foot in it, and didn't take it to heart. Now someone asks Only then did he realize that he couldn't answer these questions at all.

Afterwards, they chatted about other things. Occasionally, someone tentatively asked Tang Cen about some personal matters, but he vaguely mentioned them all.Eisen listened by the side without saying a word, and only helped Tang Cen change the subject when he was asked about his personal affairs.

At first, the others didn't think there was any problem, they just thought that Eisen didn't want to embarrass Tang Cen, but after many times, they also saw the trickiness, and wisely stopped asking.But no matter what they talked about, in the end it was unavoidable that the few people who couldn't drink well were so drunk that they lay on the table.

Rubbing his swollen temples, Eisen looked at the drunk men lying on the table with a headache.The three of them were not taboo, they drank several kinds of alcohol together, no wonder they became unconscious after only a few drinks, now only he and that black colleague were sober.

Eisen didn't drink much, he only cared about his own affairs, and the little wine he drank now was almost awake.And that colleague was sober because of Tang Cen, Eisen knew this, but in this situation, he was afraid that he would not care about Tang Cen and someone would take advantage of him.

Although Tang Cen drank a lot, his wine taste was always good. Although he was a little drunk at the moment, he still sat quietly on the chair.When Eisen looked at him, he was staring at the street scene outside in a daze.A car coming from a distance turned on its headlights, and warm yellow light flowed across Tang Cen's face, but Eisen saw a bit of loneliness from his shining eyes.

Eisen's throat rolled up and down, and the next second he suddenly realized something, turned his head and gave the person behind him a warning look.

After receiving Eisen's warning, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, then walked to the other people, took the arms of two of them, supported a drunk man on each side, and staggered towards the door.

After paying the bill, Eisen also dragged the remaining colleague on the table to stand up. Seeing that Tang Cen was still sitting there, he called him again in Chinese: "Tang Cen, it's time to go."

When Tang Cen heard the familiar Chinese, he subconsciously stood up and followed Eisen without thinking about it.

The bar was not far from the hotel where they were staying, only a few streets away, and a few people were walking unsteadily on the street.Eisen supported his colleague, and looked behind him from time to time to make sure that Tang Cen had followed.

Tang Cen followed behind Aisen, watching him struggling to support his friend, and looking back at him from time to time.The dim lights of the street fell behind Eisen, and the halo blurred Eisen's side face, making Tang Cen, who was slightly drunk, see it unreal.

Along the way, Tang Cen quietly followed Eisen, looking at the man in front of him, he didn't know what he was thinking, as if there was nothing in his mind, only his body was acting subconsciously.

Back at the hotel, Eisen carried his colleagues back to his room with difficulty.After he put him on the bed, he found that Tang Cen was still standing blankly at the door of his room, as if he was waiting for him.

Eisen took two steps to the corridor. He put the room card in his pocket and closed the door. Looking at Tang Cen, who was obviously still wandering, he said, "I'm sorry tonight. They just finished work so they made a bit of a fuss. It's not scary. to you?"

It took a while to digest Eisen's words, Tang Cen shook his head, and looked up at the house number in front of him.Eisen lived very close to him, only one or two rooms away, so they bumped into each other at the corner yesterday.

Tang Cen looked very strange, Eisen looked at his confused expression, and asked in a strange way: "Shall I take you back?"

"Hmm..." Tang Cen didn't pay attention to what he said, only heard the word "go back", and walked towards his room.

Eisen followed behind him, watching him walk in a vain manner, and secretly scolded his colleague a few words.

After opening the room, Tang Cen casually left the key card on the shoe cabinet.The card slid a short distance on the smooth marble surface, and hit Eisen's hand on the shoe cabinet. He picked up the room card and turned on the light in the room.

The moment the light came on, the dazzling light made Tang Cen squint his eyes, and it also allowed Eisen behind him to see the whole picture of the room clearly.There were not many things in the room, but the suitcase was spread out on the floor, and the quilt on the bed and the changed clothes were also crumpled.

Eisen let out a long sigh, and was about to help Tang Cen pack his things a little, when he heard a "snap", Tang Cen's instep hit the wheel of the suitcase, he staggered, lost his balance and fell forward .

He walked with half-closed eyes, unable to see clearly what was at his feet. Alcohol had paralyzed his nerves, and his body had no time to react when he tripped.After a knock, Tang Cen's wine was mostly sober, but he didn't feel the expected pain, but fell on a soft object, but there was something hard on his waist.

A large shadow was cast in front of Tang Cen's eyes, saving him from the dazzling light.The smell of wine mixed with a faint woody aroma wafted in the air, and his warm breath sprayed on the top of his head. As soon as Tang Cen raised his head, he bumped into Eisen's worried eyes.

"Are you okay?" Aisen supported Tang Cen and fell into the soft bed. He had no time to get out in a hurry, so he could only use his hands to support his body and distance him a little.The tip of his nose slid past Tang Cen's side face, and he smelled the subtle sweetness of cream in the strong aroma of wine.

The sudden shortening of the distance caught Tang Cen a little off guard, and he didn't know whether to thank him first or sit up first.Eisen's arm is still under his back, but when he sits up, it will undoubtedly shorten the already ambiguous distance, but it is a bit awkward to thank him in this situation.

In this charming atmosphere, Tang Cen's mind was full of messy things.And Eisen clearly saw Tang Cen's embarrassment, but he didn't poke it. He supported his arms to maintain the current posture, and even slightly bent his joints when his arms were numb, bringing the distance a little closer.

There were other people staring at him in the bar, and Eisen didn't dare to look at Tang Cen so blatantly. Now with this posture, his eyes were unscrupulously glued to the face of the young man who was a few years older than him.

Look at his long, thick, crow-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly, a few broken hairs scattered on the bridge of his high nose, and his light-colored lips slightly parted.

Eisen's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he turned his face slightly and leaned over.
