under the filth

From Raymond's point of view, it was indeed a loss for Tang Cen to leave his company and this industry, but Eisen felt that maybe the simple and ordinary life now is really suitable for Tang Cen.Tang Cen didn't have a strong desire to win or lose, nor did he have the habit of planning for the future, and he was even vacillating about the status quo, so there was no need to create more trouble for him.

"It's nothing to be sorry for him." Eisen folded his hands on the soft sofa, paused for a few seconds, and thought about his words before speaking, "He's different from me, he doesn't like it at all. There is no reason to insist on these, and if you continue to do it, you are just walking on the road paved by others, which will only make his illness more and more serious."

Finding a job and keeping yourself completely busy may be a solution, but when you are busy, there is always a time to stop.Under heavy pressure, as long as there is a chance to breathe, those diseases will recur, or even worsen.

So when Eisen occasionally looked at the company documents at home, even if it was Tang Cen's field of expertise, Eisen would never take the initiative to talk to him about it, and it was meaningless except to add trouble.

"It's true." Raymond said, and suddenly remembered another thing, "The person in charge here told me that you have been asking for leave all the time, so you are taking leave all day to be with him at home? You Is it a business trip or a honeymoon?”

Lei Meng was not polite at all. When the person in charge told him about this matter, Lei Meng could see the forbearing and helpless expression on the other side.Although Eisen's leave does not affect the progress and efficiency of the entire project, when he thinks that his younger brother has done such a disgraceful assignment, Raymond is furious.

"I have a good job! I haven't lost the chain!" Eisen refuted back not to be outdone, but when he mentioned the reason for the leave, his voice slowly dropped again, "I just want to make him happy..."

Raymond looked at him sideways, with sharp eyes, not missing any slightest change on his face.

After looking at it for a while, Raymond looked away, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit one and put it in his mouth.The fine white smoke floated in the air, Lei Meng took two puffs, and then slowly said: "Eisen, I don't want to ask more about your boyfriend's private affairs, I have been thinking about it for so many years and I can still catch up with you. Happy. But tell me, have you really thought it through?"

"You know what you have to face when you are with him. Even so, do you still want to be with him?"

The tobacco wrapped in white paper was burning slowly, and the excessively long ash was drooping. Raymond raised his hand and flicked the ash into the trash can. The sparks exposed in the air flickered for a moment, and then quickly hid in the gray ashes.

"Think clearly." Eisen raised his head, looked at the white smoke floating in the air, and said word by word, "I want to marry him and live with him for the rest of my life."

Raymond chuckled as if hearing some joke: "Life is long, Eisen."

Eisen didn't answer his words, silently looking up at the ceiling.

What Raymond said was right, a lifetime is a long time, but now their lives have passed one-third, maybe even one-half, and the remaining time cannot stand their squandering like this.

"If I don't stay with him with the idea of ​​living a lifetime, and if I don't love him so wholeheartedly, I'm afraid he will leave me soon."

I don't know what will happen in the remaining time, but now, Eisen doesn't want to miss Tang Cen anymore, even if their love time may only occupy a very short part of their lives.

Raymond took a deep breath, and the gas from the burning tobacco entered his lungs along his nasal cavity.In some respects, the two brothers were indeed very similar.When he confessed his love to his wife back then, he handed out the rose in his hand just like Eisen did now, with the idea of ​​spending a lifetime with her.

Pressing the nearly burnt cigarette into the trash can, Lei Meng gently pushed his younger brother's shoulder: "Okay, go back and coax your boyfriend."

Eisen was staring blankly at the ceiling in a daze, but was caught off guard by Raymond and almost jumped up.Hearing his brother asked him to go back, he was overjoyed, but as soon as he stood up, he heard Lei Meng's annoying voice: "Anyway, you don't live here, I'll stay here for a few days, and I'll go to the branch to inspect .”

"Why don't you go to stay in a hotel? Isn't the hotel closer?" Eisen couldn't figure it out. Although this place is not far from the company, the hotel is clearly opposite the company. Wouldn't it be more convenient for Lei Meng to visit the hotel?

Raymond saw through the real intention behind his bluff: "Afraid that he thinks too much? Or what are you guys doing here?"

"You ran to my door without even saying hello. Anyone else would think too much, okay?" Aisen felt powerless at his brother's childish words and deeds. I still feel very hard in my heart, Lei Meng is like a parent who is peeping at his children when they are dating.

Taking a scapegoat for no reason, Lei Meng choked back not to be outdone: "I came to see you, who knew that you two lived at the opposite door, did you secretly follow him again?"

"Shut up!" Eisen, who was poked in the sore foot, almost swears, "If I can't catch up with the opposite door, you can let your brother be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

"Do you think I am willing to take care of you?" After taking over the company for more than ten years, he has encountered countless difficult customers, but Raymond has never felt so tired as he is today.Getting up early in the morning to catch a flight is already exhausting, and after landing, he temporarily changed his destination because of a phone call from his mother, and now he is not welcomed by his younger brother. The 43-year-old Raymond suddenly wanted to go home.

He should have taken his children on an outing with his wife instead of being wronged like this here.

"I don't interfere with who you hang out with, but you always have to meet each other at home." Raymond slumped on the sofa weakly, and said why he came here before he couldn't help but smashed the pillow on Eisen's face Purpose, "Before I go back, ask Tang Cen if he would like to meet me."

Eisen lowered his head and pondered for a while before reluctantly agreeing: "I know, I will try my best."

After saying goodbye to Raymond, Eisen left the rented house and turned back to Tang Cen.

After closing the heavy wooden door, Eisen glanced around the room. He didn't see Opera Cen, who always squatted at the door to greet him, nor Tang Cen in the living room.

"Tang Cen?" Eisen called out, and there was even an echo in the silent room.

Just when Eisen was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the bedroom, and then Tang Cen walked out of the bedroom with Opera in his arms. He leaned against the door frame and replied softly, "I'm here."

Tang Cen squatted down, and put Opera Cubella in his arms on the ground: "Are you finished talking?"

"The chat is over." Eisen replied, while secretly heaving a sigh of relief.Tang Cen had no expression on his face, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

After landing on the ground, Opera Cen squatted in front of Tang Cen and yelled twice, and Tang Cen smoothed the messy sleeping hair on his back.

After Opera Chow left, Eisen dragged Tang Cen into the bedroom.The bed in the bedroom was a bit messy. The quilt that was originally laid flat on the bed was rolled up on one side, but turned over on the other side. It seemed that someone had just slept in it.

Waking up too early, Eisen was not surprised that Tang Cen, who always loved to stay in bed, took advantage of his absence and went back to sleep again. Falling asleep was much better than being bored in the room and thinking wildly.

Sitting on the bed in the bedroom, Tang Cen thought for a while before hesitating to ask, "Your elder brother...what is he here for?"

Eisen knew that he would ask this question, but he didn't hide it, and roughly repeated the conversation between the two before.

"I told my family two days ago that I wouldn't go back for Christmas. My mother thought I was dumped...so I asked him to come and take a look." Eisen paused and added, "He still has to go Company inspection, will not stay for long, will go back before Christmas."

"Oh." After listening to everything, Tang Cen's dull brain struggled to extract key information from Aisen's words after waking up, and what he finally concluded was not what Tang Cen had been worried about, although it might be Aisen's. Sen withheld the real content of the conversation.

Tang Cen felt envious of the way their brothers got along with each other.But can such a harmonious family tolerate a heresy like him?

Eisen noticed that Tang Cen's eyes lit up for a moment and then suddenly dimmed. Tang Cen had always been worried that his family would not accept him. Although he knew that his parents didn't care about this, Tang Cen couldn't believe it from the beginning to the end. .

"Tang Cen, would you like...to meet my elder brother?" Eisen thought, maybe if he met formally and had a good talk with his brother, all the problems would be solved.

Worried that Tang Cen would reject him, Aisen quickly softened his tone and continued to ask: "Let's have dinner together at home, okay?"

Everyone was at the door of the house, and Tang Cen couldn't refuse. He just struggled for two seconds before agreeing: "Wait until he's not busy..."

Although he still had some resistance to meeting his parents, Tang Cen didn't think it would be so difficult to accept if it was just Eisen's brother.And judging from the fragmentary information he received, Eisen's family is not difficult to get along with, at least much better than his father.

With Tang Cen's promise, Eisen stopped mentioning the man across the door who had irritated him all morning, and happily mentioned today's plan: "It's almost noon, let's take Opera to the hospital, shall we have lunch?"

Tang Cen stood up, stretched his waist, yawned big, then picked up the clothes thrown on the beanbag sofa, and put them on his body one by one.Although he wanted to sleep very much, he was also a little hungry, and the scheduled examination could not be postponed any longer.

After Tang Cen finished changing, the two of them went to the living room and grabbed the bewildered Opera Cun and stuffed it into the cat bag.

After packing everything, Eisen, who was carrying the cat bag, opened the door. Tang Cen, who came out behind him, inserted the key into the lock, turned the key twice to the left and locked the door.
