under the filth

Eisen and Luca haven't seen each other for a few years since they graduated from university, and they talked about Tang Cen again. It was almost ten o'clock at night when they returned to the hotel after dinner.

When he saw the clock hanging in the hotel lobby pointing to the Roman numeral "X", Eisen realized that he had left Tang Cen alone in the hotel for nearly three hours.

After a day of tossing around, he didn't know if Tang Cen was already asleep at this time, but Tang Cen's sleep quality had always been very bad. No matter how lightly he moved back to the room now, he would definitely wake Tang Cen up.

Annoyed, Eisen trotted back to the room.However, when he opened the door, he found that the lights in the room were all on, and Tang Cen was not asleep. He was sitting in front of the huge French window drinking wine, and when he heard Aisen's return, he didn't even look at him.

Eisen walked to Tang Cen's side and took the wine glass from his hand, "You didn't eat at night, so drink less."

"Can't sleep." The wine glass in his hand was taken away, Tang Cen picked up the empty glass that was upside down on the table, and poured himself a full one.

Eisen knew he was in the wrong, seeing that he refused to stop, he didn't take away the wine glass from his hand, but put the wine glass in front of Tang Cen again.Tang Cen's personality is too contradictory, he doesn't care about everything around him at all, but sometimes he becomes stubborn and doesn't listen to any advice at all, and he has to go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow, at this time Eisen doesn't want to stimulate his fragile nerves any more, so he just completely Follow his meaning.

Tang Cen was ready for the wine glass to be taken away by Eisen, but he unexpectedly put the glass in front of him again. Eisen's actions that night made him anxious.At first he thought that Eisen was only obsessed with his body, but later he felt that Eisen was plotting something wrong, and now he couldn't understand this series of actions.

What exactly do you want?

Tang Cen didn't care about the wine glass, he curled up in the soft sofa chair with his legs crossed, stared at Eisen's face, and pondered over every subtle change in his expression.

The vigilant and suspicious eyes stared at Eisen for a moment, Tang Cen changed his face too quickly, he didn't know what he did to make Tang Cen put on such a posture, "What's wrong?"

Tang Cen bit his lower lip, and held the wine glass tightly with his fingers, "Where... are you taking me?"

Hearing Tang Cen's question, Eisen also knew that he hadn't explained clearly beforehand, which reminded Tang Cen of other things.He hurriedly explained: "It's my friend's hospital, that's the person you just saw. I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

Tang Cen was taken aback, Aisen's answer exceeded his expectations.After thinking about it, he still didn't consider this possibility, but he can't blame him, Tang Cen didn't have anyone close enough to ask for help, except Lu Sheng, so he didn't have such a habit either.

Tang Songyuan called him a white-eyed wolf. Now it seems that he is indeed a white-eyed wolf who is not satisfied. He not only tramples on Eisen's kindness to him, but also misinterprets his actions.

Pushing the wine glass in his hand to the table, Tang Cen stood up uncomfortably, and said to Eisen who also stood up, "Go to sleep."

I don't know what Tang Cen was thinking, but now he showed an embarrassed expression, but in Eisen's eyes, he was kind of cute.Taking advantage of Tang Cen's inattention, he kissed him on the cheek, "Good night."

Lying on the bed, Eisen heard Tang Cen's continuous turning over beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Can't sleep?"

Tang Cen next to him didn't answer. After he fell asleep, he was in a half-dream and half-awake state with erratic consciousness for a long time. A small amount of alcohol was not enough to calm his tense nerves, nor was it enough to eliminate the side effects caused by the sudden withdrawal of the drug. .

The two of them couldn't sleep well all night, so the next morning Eisen could only take Tang Cen to the Grandy family's hospital with two dark circles under his eyes.

Luca greeted the doctors in the relevant departments in advance. Not long after entering the hospital, a nurse came to pick up Tang Cen.

The air was filled with Tang Cen's familiar smell of disinfectant, but now he was in a strange hospital, followed by strange medical staff, walking towards a completely unknown direction.He didn't want to face it alone, but when he turned his head and saw an Eisen standing there watching him, he didn't have the courage to ask him for help.

He must be very embarrassed now.Thinking about this, Tang Cen silently looked away and followed the nurse into the consulting room.

In the consulting room, a blond female doctor with a kind face was sitting at the table, with a few pieces of paper in front of her, which looked like some kind of information.Hearing the sound of him entering the door, the doctor quickly raised his head and smiled at him, "Mr. Tang?"

Tang Cen nodded, and sat down on the chair in front of her following the doctor's signal.Since his illness, he has seen many doctors, but he has never been so anxious as he is now. His right hand clasped his left wrist and rubbed it twice vigorously.

"Don't be nervous, today is just a follow-up consultation, and then you can do a few tests." The doctor noticed Tang Cen's small movements, and just calmed down: "We can wait for you to get ready before starting. Any discomfort can end."

From the information, she roughly understood the past of this beautiful but haggard oriental man in front of her, and also knew that unfamiliar environments would put him in a state of extreme anxiety. The patient cannot be forced, but can only be guided step by step.

But to the doctor's surprise, Tang Cen chose to continue: "It's okay, let's get started."

The doctor sized him up for two seconds, finally nodded, and took out the piece of paper under the document...

Eisen stood at one end of the corridor, watching Tang Cen follow the nurse towards the other end, until his figure completely disappeared around the corner, Eisen raised his heels and followed.

In the consulting room next to Tang Cen, Eisen and Luka, who was wearing a white coat, were chatting without saying a word while observing the situation inside through the transparent glass.

Tang Cen's consultation room is a special observation room. One wall is made of special one-way glass. From the room, you can only see the scenery outside the hospital, but in fact the other side of the glass is the doctor and the doctor. A room where family members observe patients.

In the consulting room next to Tang Cen, Eisen and Luka, who was wearing a white coat, were chatting without saying a word while observing the situation inside through the transparent glass.

Tang Cen's voice came through the glass, and the special material did not block the sound.Listening to Tang Cen vaguely talking about what happened more than ten years ago, Luka raised his elbow and stabbed the person beside him: "He has so many things hidden, how much do you know?"

When his friend teased him so much, Eisen could only smile wryly, "I know a little bit, but if he doesn't want to tell me, can I still force him?"

Luca was noncommittal, as an outsider, it was not easy for him to participate in the relationship between them.

But Tang Cen's situation in the observation room was not optimistic. Although he was holding on for treatment, recalling the scene when he was imprisoned by Tang Songyuan again, Tang Cen grabbed his wrist fiercely, leaving streaks and nails on it. Red scratches.

Seeing Tang Cen's emotional out of control in the special observation room, when the doctor had to interrupt the treatment to appease him, Luka crossed his arms and asked Eisen, who was visibly nervous beside him: "After so many years of chasing him, what happened again?" This is the case, do you regret it later?"

Eisen stared closely at Tang Cen, who was panting and bowed in another room, "As if muttering to himself, he asked: What is there to regret?"

Luka took a breath, "You really like him so much?"

Eisen, who was concerned about Tang Cen, didn't have the heart to answer Luka's question at all. He stood in front of the glass, barely maintaining a calm face, but his heart was full of turmoil.He never knew that Tang Cen would live such a life that would be worse than death after returning to China.

Seeing his appearance, Luka sighed and said, "Xiu is right."

Hearing the long-lost name, Eisen finally reacted. He turned and glared at Luka, "What did he say?"

"He said you're mentally ill, and you're clinging on to a mental patient. Look, calm down." Luka raised his finger and pointed to Tang Cen, who had already sat up straight.He adjusted so quickly that even Luka couldn't help but be amazed, but at the same time he couldn't help but pour cold water on Eisen, "If you want me to say that he got rid of those people before, he can live alone Even better, you have done so much for him now, what does he think? Do you think he likes you?"

Seeing Tang Cen holding hot water and sipping small pieces, Eisen breathed a sigh of relief, and said frankly to his friend: "I think he might hate me a bit, but I'm happy."

"What's wrong with you?" After guessing and guessing, he didn't expect this answer. Luka began to believe another friend's words. Eisen's brain seemed a little abnormal.But Eisen has been waiting for so many years, and now he finally has some hope. Luca thought about it and reminded: "Eisen, I know you fell in love with him at first sight, but his situation is far more complicated than what you see. Better be careful."

"I know." He knew almost nothing about Tang Cen except for his illness. Heart-piercing pain.

In the year Eisen entered school, he was sitting under the stage, looking up at Tang Cen who was standing on the stage and speaking, elegant and calm, the lights shone on him, and his whole body exuded a dazzling light, which made people unable to take their eyes off.From then on, he couldn't take his eyes off Tang Cen, even after seeing him walk out of the mental hospital alone, his feelings never changed.

But the current Tang Cen is just taking off the mask of gentleness and elegance, and bursting out the suppressed emotions. After all, he is still Tang Cen.Whether it's calm or crazy, it's Tang Cen, a real person who won't change due to illness.

Even if it wasn't the original appearance, he has always been Eisen's favorite Tang Cen, and has never changed.
