under the filth

Sticky and crooked in the bathroom for nearly an hour, Tang Cen lay on Eisen's shoulder gasping and twitching. He couldn't help falling asleep until Eisen helped him clean up the things left in his body.

Eisen carried Tang Cen back to the bed in the bedroom, covered Tang Cen with the quilt, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and exited the bedroom silently.He walked to the living room, took off the overcoat hanging by the radiator, fumbled in his pockets, and took out a delicate black velvet box.

Open the box, and there is a pair of silver rings sandwiched in the black flannel, shining under the light.The pair of rings were of the same style, except that one was slightly smaller in size. Eisen rubbed the ring twice with his fingertips, then slowly closed the box and put it in the locked drawer in the corner.

After locking the drawer, throwing the clothes that were thrown into the laundry bin in the bathroom into the washing machine, and pouring some fresh cat food into Opera Chow's bowl, Eisen began to sort out the ingredients he just bought.The butter and cheese had melted a little in the warm room, and Eisen left the required amount to the recipe, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator together with the ingredients for dinner.

When Eisen came back, it was just lunch time, but before he could pack his things, he had a toss with Tang Cen for a long time, and he didn't even have time to eat lunch.Eisen wasn't too hungry, and Tang Cen was sleeping again, so he simply ignored his lunch.

There were more than three hours before dinner, and the time was a little rushed, but Eisen didn't have the heart to worry about it.He looked at the recipe, but fortunately, the cake he made this time is simple and has little movement.Although the bedroom door was closed and the sound insulation of the room was good, Eisen was a little worried that he would wake Tang Cen up.

Eisen was making cakes in the kitchen, and Opera Claude was lying on the soft cushion under the radiator and sleeping sprawled, her soft belly was exposed outside, and the long dark brown hair moved slightly when the warm wind blew.

In the bedroom, Tang Cen woke up after sleeping on the bed for a while.He sat up with his arms propped up, stretching the muscles in his waist, abdomen and thighs, and the soreness spread all over his body.He did a little too much in the bathroom, his legs couldn't use his strength, Tang Cen sat on the edge of the bed and was about to stand up, but he couldn't stabilize himself and fell back on the bed.

Tang Cen sat on the edge of the bed for a while, rubbing his fingers back and forth on his thighs. There were still light finger marks on his fair skin, which were caused by Eisen pinching his thighs when he couldn't stand still in the bathroom.

After the discomfort in his body subsided, Tang Cen stood up on his knees. Just as he pushed open the bedroom door, he heard the crisp sound of knocking glass from the kitchen.

Tang Cen walked over following the sound, saw Eisen who was busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Hearing the movement behind him, Eisen turned his head to look at Tang Cen, with a faint smile on his face: "Forgot? You were clamoring for cake when you had a fever last time."

Tang Cen was leaning on the edge of the table next to Eisen's, and was leaning over to look at the glass bowl he was holding in his hand, but was taken aback by his words: "Is there any?"

Thinking of the marshmallow last time, Tang Cen suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his mind.He didn't remember saying this at all. During the time when he had a fever, he was completely dizzy, and he didn't even wake up for a long time. He only vaguely felt that someone was feeding him medicine and taking his temperature.

Thinking that I am a person in his 30s, and he is still arguing for candies and cakes when he is sick. Lie to yourself about things.

Tang Cen tried to find other topics to confuse, his eyes flicked back and forth on Eisen, and finally fell on Eisen's slightly wet hair.He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and he could still squeeze out the water. The entire fingertips were wet, which should have been wet in the bathroom just now.

Because of a nonsense he said when he was burned out, Eisen went out in the rain alone in such weather, and now he didn't even have time to dry his hair.Tang Cen quietly wiped the water droplets on his clothes, and whispered: "Then there is no need to be so anxious..."

Eisen frowned, and put down the cheese in his hand: "I can't eat it today, I have to wait until tomorrow."

"What are you doing this time?" It doesn't matter to Tang Cen when to eat it, anyway, Aisen is already making it, and he can't run around, but this time the ingredients look a little different.

Eisen put the plate with pineapple slices in front of Tang Cen, and continued to stir the cheese in the glass bowl: "Pineapple Cheesecake."

"Oh, then you can do it." Tang Cen looked at the cheese that had been stirred up in Eisen's hand, and then at the pineapple on the plate. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread from the tip of his tongue.

After licking off the remaining juice from his fingertips, Tang Cen turned on the faucet and put his fingers under the running water to rinse.After rinsing his fingers clean, he caught a glimpse of the small milk pot soaking in water in the sink. There was still some honey-colored viscous liquid sticking to the bottom of the small milk pot, as if something had been boiled.

Tang Cen turned his head, Eisen was taking off the mold, his movements were very careful, as if he was afraid of damaging the things in the mold.

With nothing to do left and right, Tang Cen rubbed what remained on his breasts, and the viscous liquid, like jam, was quickly peeled off from the small milk pot by him and suspended in the water.

The water was swirling at the outlet, Tang Cen put the washed small milk pot in the drain basket, and put the two glass bowls that Eisen handed over under the faucet to rinse.The cheese that was not poured out was washed away by the water flow, and the water in the glass bowl was cloudy.

After Tang Cen cleaned the two bowls, Eisen also put the cake in the refrigerator.He took out the ingredients for dinner, and while closing the refrigerator door, glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall, silently counting the time in his heart: "Freeze first, and eat tomorrow."

"Okay, what's for dinner?" Tang Cen shook off the water in his hand, tilted his head to look at the ingredients that Aisen brought out, and the faint smile in his brows and eyes hadn't faded.

"Baked noodles, fried steak tomorrow." As Eisen said, he looked at Tang Cen calmly, and sure enough, just after he finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the people beside him brighten up, "making a cake can make you so Happy, aren't you too easy to coax?"

Realizing that his emotions were all shown on his face, Tang Cen touched his nose in embarrassment: "Then do you like to see me with a sad face every day?"

Tang Cen could guess Eisen's answer, but it was definitely Eisen's words to coax him, even he was tired of himself being depressed all day long.

Eisen held Tang Cen's left hand resting on the table, and the two fingers overlapped.Eisen curled up his ring finger, and drew a circle on the root of Tang Cen's finger with his fingertips: "As long as it's you, I like it, but I hope you can be happier."

The rainy weather for several days disrupted Eisen's plan and disturbed Tang Cen's mood.Eisen couldn't control the weather, he only hoped that Tang Cen's mood and the sky of Paris would clear up at the same time after tomorrow.

The circled area on his finger was itchy, Tang Cen hid a few times before breaking free from Aisen's mischievous hand, he held Aisen's hand instead, interlocking his fingers.

Tang Cen looked at the two hands that were clasped with no obvious color difference, pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "Then I'll ask you something, and you should answer me honestly."

Eisen shook Tang Cen's hand. He could faintly guess what Tang Cen was going to ask, but he still said: "You tell me."

"Did you find Tang Qian?" Tang Cen asked his younger brother abruptly.

This question was not an unreasonable speculation by Tang Cen. While waiting for Tang Qian's next call, Tang Cen thought a lot.He thought about countless reasons why Tang Qian knew his address book, and also thought about what might happen in the future, but he never thought that Tang Qian would never hear from him again.

Apart from that phone call, there was no other news. This style of behavior is not quite like Tang Qian's, and Eisen also saw his number that day. Perhaps when he was panicking, he secretly wrote down Tang Qian's number.

If Aisen and Tang Qian reached a certain consensus, it's not that Tang Cen couldn't accept it, but he just didn't want Aisen to hide it from him.

Eisen was silent for a few seconds before responding in a low voice: "...um."

Tang Cen turned his head and stared at him with translucent eyes without blinking: "What did you say to him?"

Eisen took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and let go of his clasped hands: "I didn't say anything, it just means that you are doing well now, just let him try not to disturb you."

He also told Tang Qian about their relationship and his future plans, but he couldn't tell Tang Cen about these Aisens now.

Seeing Tang Cen bowed his head and said nothing, Eisen's heart skipped a beat: "Are you angry?"

"No..." Tang Cen shook his head slightly, and slowly rested his head on Eisen's shoulder, "I don't know how to face him, it's fine if you tell him like this, thank you."

It's good that Eisen spoke for him, Tang Cen didn't have the courage to face his younger brother, so as not to embarrass the two of them.Although it made him restless and waited for several days, at least he doesn't have to worry about this matter in the future.

Tang Cen didn't blame him for secretly looking for Tang Qian, but thanked himself, and Eisen's courage instantly swelled: "Is it just a little bit of sincerity in words?"

"Then are you going to do it here?" Tang Cen couldn't hear the hint in Eisen's words, thinking of the scene of tossing in the bathroom just now, his waist and thigh muscles throbbed twice.

Even though he was only two years younger than him, Eisen was always full of energy in this aspect. Because of taking medicine, Tang Cen couldn't bear such a long relationship.

Eisen reached out and touched Tang Cen's waist, and turned him over to surround him in the small space between himself and the kitchen table.Face to face, he lowered his head slightly, and leisurely said to the flustered lover, "It's not impossible."

The casual tone made Tang Cen's heart ring loudly: "Wait! Eisen, wait!"

Tang Cen pushed Aisen's shoulders lightly, but his attitude of refusal was clear.

Eisen put away the unscrupulous expression on his face, and called out calmly: "Tang Cen."

Tang Cen was taken aback by his serious expression, and stopped the movement of his hands.He asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Eisen didn't answer right away, he let go of the restraint on Tang Cen, put his hands around Tang Cen's waist, buried his head in the socket of his neck, and sighed deeply: "I love you."

Tang Cen paused for a moment with his raised hand in mid-air. Hearing the breathing of the man who was hugging him tightly, Tang Cen gently hugged his shoulder.
