under the filth

Facing the mirror, Tang Cen stuck the cold metal object on his face, and slowly scraped it off.

White fine bubbles are piled on the narrow razor, sticking to each other, and the ever-expanding pile of loose foam is overwhelmed, falling into the sink from mid-air, and the fragmented foam is swirled in the sink by the water flow, and finally All disappeared in the drain.

After rinsing off the remaining foam from the razor, Tang Cen took another handful of water and splashed it on his face, wiped it twice before picking up a towel to wipe his wet face.

Tang Cen was going out today, so he went back to the bedroom to change after washing up, but as soon as he stepped into the bedroom, a dark shadow flickered in front of him.

"Ah——" With a scream, Eisen, who was tying his tie in front of the mirror, threw himself on the bed, twisted back and forth in the soft quilt, and kept wailing, "I don't want to go to work!"

Tang Cen was no stranger to this situation, ever since Eisen started working again, it would happen from time to time.At the beginning Tang Cen would coax him patiently, but since he was knocked down by Eisen who had been planning for a long time last Friday and had a morning exercise, Tang Cen, who realized that he was being tricked, never cared about him again up.

Anyway, he would get up by himself after 2 minutes of drying. For the sake of his waist, Tang Cen directly ignored Eisen, who was lying on the bed, and stood in front of the closet picking out the clothes he was going to wear today.

Eisen slumped on the bed and raised his body. Hearing the sound of changing clothes behind him, he raised his head and asked, "Are you going out today?"

"Well, I want to go to the museum for a while." Tang Cen took off his shirt, revealing his thin upper body, with light brown marks on his fair skin.

Thinking of the excellent touch of that soft waist, Eisen swallowed, got up and got behind Tang Cen, wrapped his arms around his waist, kissed his back, walked back and forth restlessly with his hands, "I like museums so much ?”

"Didn't you ask me to go out for a walk?" Warm breath sprayed on his back, Tang Cen ducked forward, and quickly put on his sweater.

The large sweater blocked Eisen's sight, but it couldn't stop his messy hands.Lifting up the hem of his clothes, Eisen's hand touched Tang Cen's chest, his fingertips twirling back and forth on the sensitive part, and he blew into his ear, "Are you hinting at me?"

Tang Cen looked at half of his waist reflected in the mirror, and frowned with a headache.He tore off the hand that was stuck to his body, broke free from Eisen's embrace, turned around and helped him re-tie his tie, "You should work with peace of mind during this time."

Eisen raised his head slightly, waited for Tang Cen to fasten his tie, then put his arms around his waist, pouted his lips and moved closer, "Then kiss me again."

In the past, Eisen had always been stable and reliable, and Tang Cen would often forget that he was a few years younger than himself. Recently, he always showed a childish appearance, and made requests that made Tang Cen embarrassed from time to time.

Although the childish and clingy lover gave Tang Cen a headache, but he did his best to meet Eisenti's request.

Pulling Eisen's tie to force him to bow his head, Tang Cen complained in a low voice, and leaned in to enclose his lips amid Eisen's presumptuous low laughter.

The good-morning kiss was long and deep with a touch of charm, but the cool autumn air was so dry and hot that only a little spark was needed to ignite it.When Tang Cen was pushed onto the bed, his hips rubbed against Eisen, and when he felt a strange touch, he was even mentally prepared to be entered.

However, the untimely ringtone interrupted all of this. Eisen pressed on him and took two deep breaths before taking out the vibrating mobile phone from his pocket.After a few short conversations, Tang Cen felt the fiery body pressing on him suddenly leave.

Eisen tidied up his messy clothes, leaned over and kissed Tang Cen's spring-like face, "I'm going to work."

Tang Cen's back was softened by his kiss, and he answered lazily with a nod.

After Eisen went out, Tang Cen lay on the bed, gasping for breath with his eyes closed. He didn't hesitate to get up and tidy up until the hotness on his body completely faded away.

After looking in front of the mirror for nearly 10 minutes, making sure that no one would notice anything strange, Tang Cen put his wallet and mobile phone into his coat pocket, and went out empty-handed.

It rained heavily last night, and the alleys in front of the apartment building were full of puddles of stagnant water, and some unknown flocs were still floating in the puddles.

Tang Cen stretched his legs and walked around the stagnant water towards the block outside the alley.

When passing by the trash can, there was suddenly the sound of objects colliding violently in the bucket. Tang Cen was startled, and trotted for a distance before looking back at the trash can.

But the strange thing was that after Tang Cen stopped, there was no more movement in the barrel.

The alley is a bit remote, and there are piles of randomly discarded garbage on the ground every night. Although there are people cleaning it during the day, it rained heavily last night, and there are food residues washed out by the rain all over the place. There are a few crows squatting on the wall.That's why Tang Cen took the weird noises in the trash can to be mice or crows looking for food, and prepared to leave without thinking much.

But just as Tang Cen raised his foot, there was another sound like a small animal's nails scratching the plastic skin from the trash can behind him.The sound was more terrifying than the one just now, and the crows on the wall cheered up when they heard the sound, and stared at the bucket.

There are many crows in Paris, and they are notorious for vengeance. Tang Cen didn't want to be missed. After a quick glance, he quickly ran out of the alley and rushed into the nearest subway station to his home.

The museum is not far from home, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive.Tang Cen stepped out of the subway station, looked at the majestic building, and instantly forgot what happened just now.

Tang Cen's activities written in today's schedule are very simple. Go to the museum in the morning, go shopping in the supermarket in the afternoon, fill in the vacancies in the refrigerator and lockers, cook in the evening and wait for Aisen to go home for dinner, and read a book in the evening Just go to bed, as for what time to go to bed, I'll see Eisen.

Tang Cen showed Eisen the schedule that was just for fun at the beginning, and Eisen laughed at him for living like an old man, which caused Tang Cen to fight him again with a pillow.But when Tang Cen started to implement it, Eisen didn't interfere with him doing anything, and occasionally gave him some suggestions, telling him which clean places were suitable for passing the time.

During the day, when Eisen went out to work, Tang Cen would go out with him, and they would separate when they reached the intersection. When Eisen came home at night, Tang Cen would usually have already prepared a meal.The work and rest time of the two people gradually tended to be consistent under their intentional or unconscious adjustment.

But Tang Cen's life is full of variables. His peaceful life will always be disturbed by various things or people, and the fragile appearance he is trying to maintain will be instantly shattered by the huge waves.

But this time, the one who broke into Tang Cen's peaceful life was a little guy who was too fragile to cause a storm, but gave Eisen a headache.

Tang Cen wandered around the museum, and left early when the number of tourists gradually increased. He found a random place to have lunch, and it was not two o'clock in the afternoon when he reached the alley in front of his house.

Tang Cen, who was thinking about what to make for dinner today, didn't notice the changes around him at all. He didn't come back to his senses until he walked to the trash can when he was frightened by the big black bird walking back and forth on the ground.He saw crows on the ground constantly testing things in the corner, and there were twice as many crows squatting on the wall than before he left.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Tang Cen cautiously moved over to take a look.

A group of creatures covered in mud and water, so dirty that they couldn't see their original shape, curled up in the corner of the garbage dump. When Tang Cen passed by, he squirmed twice towards his feet, exuding a disgusting smell.A few crows were probing back and forth with their beaks, and those squatting on the wall were also waiting for a feast.

It looked like a cub of some kind of creature, but before Tang Cen could identify it, the crow at his feet suddenly flapped its wings and patted his calf, as if urging him to leave quickly.

Not wanting to make trouble with the crow, Tang Cen turned around and left almost at the next second of the crow's urging, but he hadn't gone a few steps when a faint cry came from behind him: "Meow..."

Tang Cen turned his head, a pair of light amber eyes were revealed from the dirty hair ball.

It was a kitten that was so dirty that its original color could not be seen, and there was a lot of garbage scattered around it. Tang Cen guessed that the sound he heard in the morning should be from it struggling in the garbage can.

The round eyes of the kitten looked at Tang Cen almost pleadingly. His helpless and pitiful appearance softened his heart, but Tang Cen looked at the crows around the kitten and walked away quickly without hesitation. back to the warm and safe apartment building.

Half an hour later, Tang Cen held the kitten wrapped in a towel and pushed open the door of the rescue center.After handing over the dying kitten to the staff, he took out his mobile phone and called Eisen.

Tang Cen leaned against the glass door and looked inside from time to time, but the kitten was carried into the innermost room and could not be seen from the outside at all.

Friday afternoon is usually the busiest time. It took a while for Eisen to answer the phone, and there was still electrical noise in his voice: "Tang Cen? What's wrong?"

After Tang Cen answered the phone, he quickly told him the matter: "I picked up a kitten and just sent it to the rescue center."

The pen in Eisen's hand fell on the table, and the sleek signature pen rolled along the smooth surface of the table. When half of the pen body rolled to the edge of the table, there was a "snap", and Eisen grabbed it quickly.

He never expected that Tang Cen would suddenly pick up a kitten and send it to the rescue center alone.Eisen didn't even know there was such a rescue center near his home, "Where is it?"

Tang Cen quickly reported an address, and there was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, and soon Eisen's voice came again: "I see, I will go to find you in a while, have you—"

The voice of a staff member looking for him came from behind him, Tang Cen cut off the phone before he could say anything more, and asked the staff about the situation of the kitten.

Looking at the hung up phone, Eisen fell into deep thought.

Although he still hasn't seen what the kitten rescued by Tang Cen looks like, Eisen suddenly feels that his position is in jeopardy.
