under the filth

In the two weeks leading up to Christmas, Opera Chow's wounds finally healed, and the long-haired brown cat that had removed Elizabeth's circle began to roam around the house again.

In the two days just after the operation, because the wound was too painful, Opera Chow lay helplessly in the cat's litter, and Tang Cen didn't even have the energy to act like a baby to the owner when he rubbed its head.The pitiful appearance made Tang Cen's heart ache. For two days in a row, he sat in front of Opera Cen with the food bowl in his hand, and fed him bit by bit with his fingers dipped in minced meat.

When Tang Cen was feeding it, Eisen happened to be on the phone on the balcony, and when he came in, there was only one third of the minced meat in the bowl.Seeing that Tang Cen doted on Opera Chow so much, Eisen thought it would make more progress, but on the third day, after Opera Chow could stand up, he went to the food bowl to eat by himself.

Hearing the sound of chewing food from the corner, Eisen raised his eyebrows, and grabbed Tang Cen who was about to go up to feed the cat: "Don't get used to it, it's just a small wound."

That night, Eisen halved the amount of Opera Cen's dinner, and replaced the missing part with other better ingredients. Opera Cen smelled the strange smell of meat and looked up at Tang Cen several times before tentatively I took a few bites.

I ate this recipe until the day when Opera Clay’s wounds were completely healed. When Opera Clay, who had gained a pound of weight, jumped and ran past him, Eisen regretted his actions five days ago, knowing that The cat doesn't remember his kindness at all, he can't figure out why he did such a stupid thing five days ago.

"Take it to the hospital for another examination." Eisen said as he sat on the bed with his messy hair rubbing his trampled side.

Tang Cen lay paralyzed beside him, seeing his distraught and helpless appearance, couldn't help but hid under the blanket and sniggered.

It was rare to get up early in the morning, and the two of them didn't linger any longer. They discussed breakfast, and quickly got up to wash up. Opera Chow, who had no idea what he was about to face, was scurrying around on the sofa.

While waiting for Eisen to get Opera Chow's medical examination form, Tang Cen took out the cat bag and put it on the floor of the living room: "O Claude! I'm leaving!"

The cat who was having fun with himself froze in place when he heard his owner calling his name.Yuanyuan's eyes looked at the cat bag, recalling everything that happened after being put into this bag last time, Opera Chow's back arched slightly.

Tang Cen patted the cat bag, signaling it to come in. The always obedient Opera Chow took a step back and looked up at the owner's expression, then slowly jumped off the sofa and got into the bag.

"Let's go." Eisen came out of the bedroom with a stack of colorful sheets. Seeing that Tang Cen had packed Opera Cen, he didn't ask much. After putting away the sheets, he picked up the cat bag and prepared to open the door.

When he put his hand on the doorknob, Eisen felt that the cell phone in his coat pocket started to vibrate suddenly. He couldn't free his hand at all, so he turned sideways and said to Tang Cen, who was behind him with empty hands: "It seems that there is a call, please answer it for me." .”

Tang Cen took out the vibrating mobile phone from his pocket, and Eisen opened the door after he took the mobile phone. When he fully opened the door, there was a man standing in the corridor between the two rooms. The unexpected man.

"It's Raymond's call, I answered it?" Tang Cen's voice sounded from behind Eisen. Hearing the movement on the other side, the man who was originally facing the phone in the opposite room also turned around.

Eisen looked at the face of the person who was somewhat similar to himself, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he called out uncertainly: "Brother?"

"En." A short sound from his nasal cavity was regarded as a response. The man with the same blond hair and blue eyes as Eisen, but with a more mature and stable temperament, cut off the phone in his hand, and looked at Eisen and Tang Cen behind him. Turned around a few times.

Tang Cen hid behind Aisen, clutching the phone tightly, trying to reduce his sense of existence.He noticed that after the man hung up the phone, the phone in his hand stopped vibrating immediately.There is no doubt that this man is the "Raymond" on the caller ID, which is also the "brother" Eisen called.

Eisen's brother?Tang Cen, who refused to go home with Aisen some time ago, did not expect to meet Aisen's family under such circumstances.Although he heard Eisen say that his parents wanted to see him very much, he was not sure if it was Eisen coaxing him, and he was not sure if Eisen's brother saw him in the same way.

Tang Cen felt that the fright he had received since he met Eisen was more than what he had experienced in the past 30 years combined.Tang Qian also caught himself by surprise, but at least he only made one phone call, but Eisen's brother went straight to the door to block people.

Should it be said that they are brothers?The way of blocking people is so consistent.

Not knowing what expression he should use to face Aisen's family, Tang Cen hid in the shadow behind Aisen and silently retreated into the room.

On the other hand, Eisen was still thinking about whether he was hallucinating when he got up early to see his elder brother standing at the door of his house. However, Lei Meng did not expect the three of them to meet on such a delicate occasion, and the two of them remained silent for a while. Son.Then Lei Meng caught a glimpse of Tang Cen behind Eisen stepping out of his field of vision little by little. He pulled the suitcase and took a step back, and said to his brother who was still in a daze, "Go ahead and talk about it."

Eisen recovered after being shouted by his elder brother, hurriedly took out the key from his pocket and opened the door for him. After Raymond entered, he carried Opera Cen back to Tang Cen's side.

As soon as Eisen entered the room, he saw Tang Cen curled up on the sofa with his legs crossed. He released Opera Cen from the cat bag, and slowly walked to Tang Cen and squatted down.

"Tang Cen." Eisen called his name in a low voice, three times in a row, and Tang Cen, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and responded weakly.

"That's my elder brother, the one I mentioned to you before." Eisen took his hand and pressed his cold palm to his cheek, "It's okay, I'll take care of it, don't think too much."

Tang Cen opened his mouth, and swallowed the words a few times. He wanted to ask a lot, but he didn't know where to start.

After a short silence, Eisen sighed and said, "If you're tired, go to sleep for a while, and I'll be back after I finish talking to him."

Pulling the blanket aside to cover Tang Cen's legs, Eisen leaned over and kissed his forehead again before leaving the room.

After comforting Tang Cen, Eisen pushed open the door of another room, and just took a step in to see his elder brother sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa that he and Tang Cen had tossed about two days ago.

Raymond caught the strange expression on Eisen's face, but he didn't pay attention to these details, and asked straightforwardly: "What's going on?"

"Cohabitation." Eisen spread his hands, making no secret of their relationship.

Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly, and tapped his kneecap with his index finger: "The one you said you would bring home for Christmas?"

Eisen nodded: "Yeah."

"Why can't you say it all of a sudden? I thought you were dumped again, and I wanted to come and see you laughing." Lei Meng joked, but didn't tell him that his mother asked him to come.

"I wasn't dumped... I told my mother, I thought she told you." Eisen argued weakly, not wanting to talk to him at all.

"She told me about your boyfriend... the situation is not good, and she didn't tell me the specific situation." Lei Meng recalled the scene he just saw. The two of them were clearly fine, and they raised one who didn't know. Whether it is a cat or a dog pet, there is no problem at all.

But what surprised Raymond was that Eisen hesitated for a moment when he heard this sentence, as if he was considering his own words, and it took him a long time to wait for his next sentence: "His situation is a bit complicated, and he has to deal with it every day. Take medicine..."

"Wait, let me confirm first." Raymond interrupted Eisen suddenly when he heard the word "take medicine", "Your current boyfriend is your previous...dream lover?"

Lei Meng remembered that the last time his younger brother fell in love was because he pretended to be someone else in his heart. Later, after several questioning at home, he recruited his crush on his senior lover, and secretly investigated and followed her.

"What dream lover? Brother, which century did you come from?" Hearing the term that seemed to be written in a vulgar love letter from a certain romantic lover in the last century, Eisen couldn't help shaking, and his body got goose bumps .

Raymond is ten years older than Eisen, and his 43-year life has spanned two centuries. He married a wife and had children in the last century, and now he rarely talks about romantic love with his wife, so he doesn't know the current situation. How lovers get along with each other.

But this did not affect the conversation between Raymond and his younger brother. He skipped this subtle content and asked directly: "Is it?!"

"Yes!" Eisen rubbed his hair violently, and gave him a sonorous answer.

While Eisen was rubbing his hair, the ring on his left ring finger was shaking up and down with the movement of his hand, and the refracted silver light flashed back and forth in front of Raymond's eyes.

"Be clear, what's going on?" Raymond came here on the earliest flight, and after getting such a result, he only felt that his aching head from lack of sleep was even more uncomfortable.He thought that his younger brother had given up a long time ago. Who knew that unrequited love had not only caught up with him for so many years, but even put on the ring.

"I heard his name mentioned before when he was working in the London company." Raymond rubbed his temples, which were swollen and sore by his younger brother, but praised his lover without hesitation, "He Very good and very promising."

"Although you asked Dad to recruit him into the company as an intern, he was indeed good enough. Dad approached him several times, raised his salary and promoted him, and made many conditions to keep him, but unfortunately he left in the end. "Raymond remembers that his father always showed a regretful expression every time he mentioned this matter. Later, after he took over the company, he deliberately looked through the files, and he could understand why his father wanted to keep him.

"He hasn't heard from him since he left the UK. If he continues in this business, maybe he won't be meeting me as your boyfriend now."

"Pity."

Raymond seemed to be lamenting that the company had lost a key talent, but Eisen heard something else from it.
