under the filth

After returning from La Défense, Tang Cen and Eisen put the wrapped Christmas presents under the Christmas tree together, waiting to unwrap them together on Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow.

Gifts for each other, and for Opera Chow, were piled up under a small Christmas tree wrapped with colorful lights, which seemed to have a bit of a Christmas atmosphere.However, among the presents piled together, the largest one is the cushion Tang Cen gave to Opera Cen. The other largest gifts are no bigger than a palm. The one that Eisen plans to give Tang Cen is even small enough to use a red one Packed in Christmas gift bags.

The two gifts Eisen bought were in the same packaging, and they looked like they were bought at the same booth, and I don't know what kind of booth can buy gifts for him and Opera Chow at the same time.But such a small Christmas gift reminded Tang Cen of the candies given in the Christmas promotion in the mall, but such a gift was not Eisen's style, and there were already enough candies at home.

Although he was curious about the gift from Eisen, Tang Cen only took a few more glances, after all, he could open it on Christmas Eve.

On the day before Christmas Eve, Eisen took Opera Chow into the bathroom and took a shower. After washing, he dried his long, soft hair that exudes a faint fragrance, and carefully cut his nails. Then he and Tang Cen We cleaned the house together.

The two were busy for a long time, and finally when the pointer pointed to the Roman numeral "XI", Eisen threw the last bag of garbage into the trash can downstairs.After he washed up and went to bed, Tang Cen had already fallen asleep with Opera Cen in his arms.

Eisen looked at Opera Cen, who was sleeping sprawled in Tang Cen's arms, and scratched its chin lightly with his fingertips. The sleeping kitten meowed twice, but didn't open its eyes.

When taking a shower today, Opera Chow held onto the edge of the sink tightly, not daring to struggle but kept calling for help to Tang Cen in the living room, and even had a fight with Eisen when she was blowing hair.In the end, Tang Cen grabbed Opera Chow's four little paws to prevent it from kicking around, and Eisen helped him dry the water-absorbed fur.

"Thank you." Eisen raised his hand to caress Tang Cen's side face, rubbing his fingertips on the small piece of smooth and soft skin on the back of his neck.He kissed Tang Cen's forehead lightly, then rubbed Opera Cen's forehead, then turned off the light and embraced them in his arms: "Good night."

Maybe it was too tiring to take a bath for Opella. Eisen, who usually gets up very early, overslept. When he woke up, Tang Cen was nestling beside him playing with his mobile phone. It looked like he must have been awake for a long time up.

Eisen picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and checked the time. It was 11:30 noon, and it was time for lunch.

"It's already time, it's time to make lunch." Eisen threw the phone beside the pillow, turned over and hugged Tang Cen, pressed on him and took two deep breaths, "Are you hungry?"

Suddenly the weight of an adult man was superimposed on his body. Tang Cen swipe the screen twice, then pressed the slightly raised lock screen button on the side of the phone, put the phone on the bedside table, and then lazily replied: "Hungry."

"Why didn't you wake me up when you were hungry?" Eisen's voice was a little hoarse just after waking up, and the hand on Tang Cen's shoulder was playing with his hair one after another, lazily and comfortably.

The hair was twisted around the fingertips, and the soft hair brushed the sensitive skin on the ears and neck, and it was a little itchy. Tang Cen subconsciously hid under the blanket, but Eisen didn't stop, and continued to play with the few strands of hair. long hair.

Encircled by Aisen's arms, Tang Cen struggled a few times but couldn't escape, so he reached out to hold Aisen's hand, and borrowed his strength to support himself and press down on him.

It was the first time to look at Aisen from this angle. Tang Cen felt inexplicably that Aisen, who was lying on his back with his hands clasped, looked extraordinarily harmless, and his expression was even more innocent.Although Eisen has never shown strong aggressiveness and possessiveness, it is really rare to see Eisen like this.

Tang Cen pressed Eisen's mischievous hand on top of his head, and looked at him condescendingly: "Opera didn't wake up when he stepped on you. You looked tired, so I didn't call you."

"And I wasn't very hungry just now." Tang Cen didn't tell Eisen that when he was feeding Opera Chow just now, he even ate a few chocolates himself.

Lying on the bed with someone clasping his hands, other people might have felt a sense of crisis, but Eisen was not in a hurry, after all, the person pressing on him now was Tang Cen.

Tang Cen thought he hid it well, but he didn't know that the excited and complacent expression on his face fell into Eisen's eyes.

Eisen stared at Tang Cen for a while, and then said leisurely to his lover, "Why did it step on me again? You didn't stop it."

That casual tone made Tang Cen's heart ring loudly, but before he could say anything, Eisen bent his legs and hooked him around his waist, turned over and pinned him down.Grabbing Tang Cen's wrist with his other free hand, Eisen leaned over and lightly bit Tang Cen's collarbone.

Tang Cen felt a slight stabbing pain from his collarbone, and then heard Eisen's hoarse and deep voice from his chest: "Then lie down with me for a while."

He said he would lie down for a while, but it was already afternoon when Tang Cen woke up.

Rubbing the place where the collarbone was bitten and aching, Tang Cen lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed.As soon as the door of the bedroom was opened, there was a sound of "stinging" from the kitchen, and the sound of water falling into the oil pan and exploding and steaming.

The festive dinner is always richer, but it was supposed to be a family dinner for fourteen people. Now only Tang Cen and Eisen are sitting at this table, and they can't play too many tricks.However, Tang Cen's alcohol prohibition was slightly relaxed today, and there were two more bottles of wine under the Christmas tree.

Tang Cen picked up the wine bottle, looked at the label on the bottle, and then put it back in place.

It's just low-alcohol beer, and Eisen only satisfies Tang Cen's craving for Christmas.During this time, Tang Cen's dependence on alcohol and nicotine has eased, but Eisen dare not take it lightly.

"Let's open the presents." After dinner, Eisen pulled Tang Cen to sit on the carpet under the Christmas tree.

Tang Cen was at a loss as he looked at the presents piled up like a hill in front of him.During the years in the UK, although he had received Christmas presents before, this was the first time Tang Cen had experienced exchanging gifts under the Christmas tree like this.

Eisen noticed the subtle embarrassment on Tang Cen's face. He scanned the presents and said before Tang Cen could speak, "Let's unwrap them for Opera Cen first."

While talking, without looking at Tang Cen's astonished expression, he turned his head and shouted in the direction of the bedroom: "Opera—"

"Meow!" Opera Chow trotted over hearing the sound, and kept calling softly all the way, Eisen and Tang Cen could hear its voice several meters away.

Running to the front, Opera Cen nestled between Tang Cen's folded legs (legs) with ease, her little furry head turned back and forth, and her light amber eyes looked at Eisen from time to time.

Eisen unwrapped the biggest gift, took out the cushions and small clothes Tang Cen bought for Opera Cen from inside, and hugged Opera Cen who was squatting on Tang Cen's lap into his arms: "Come and see if it fits or not." fit."

Dressing Opera Chow was far easier than taking a bath. With Tang Cen helping at the side, the red one-piece hoodie was quickly put on Opera Claret.

"It's just right." After tidying up the long hair that Opera Chow messed up when he was wearing clothes, Eisen unwrapped the gift he gave to Opera Chow, and took out a mini antler headgear from the bag: "Come on, wear it." Go to the little deer antlers that Dad bought for you."

Eisen usually calls himself and Tang Cen this way with Opera Cen, but most of the time he said this secretly behind Tang Cen's back, and occasionally Tang Cen "accidentally" heard it a few times.

It was just a harmless joke, so Tang Cen just let him go, not to mention that people like them couldn't possibly have their own children.To Tang Cen, Opera Cen is like his child, and it is understandable to say that he is "father".

Eisen lifted Opera Chow, who had put on clothes and an antler headgear, and looked at it carefully for a while before commenting: "It's so cute."

Tang Cen, who was packing the bags at the side, couldn't help laughing when he heard his words. Eisen was extremely excited today, and Tang Cen didn't understand what was going on with him.

Tang Cen stuffed the unpacked bag into the trash can behind him, picked up the beer under the Christmas tree, and used a bottle opener to pry off the bottle cap.With his lips pressed to the cold glass, Tang Cen raised his head, and the cool and irritating liquid entered his mouth along the mouth of the bottle.

It's sweet, with a hint of peach.

"Meow——" Opera Chow, who was held up in the air, yelled aggrievedly, kicking Eisen's hand impatiently with his hind legs.As an adult, Opera Chow's weight is almost the same as that of a three-month-old baby, and she has a lot of weight when she struggles.

Being kicked twice by the powerful hind legs, Eisen gasped in pain, and hurriedly put Opera Cen on the cushion Tang Cen bought newly.

Opera Chow stepped on the soft cushion and immediately stopped struggling.It lay down on the soft cushion and sniffed back and forth, smelling Tang Cen's smell on the soft cushion. It stepped on the soft cushion with its two front paws, and snored loudly.

Tang Cen put down his half-drinked wine, curled his fingers, and rubbed the soft hair on the back of Opera Chow's neck along the gap of his clothes: "It seems that he likes this cushion very much."

Eisen took a few pictures of Opera Cura squatting on the soft cushion with his mobile phone, and began to fiddle with the remaining two gifts.

"I unwrapped it?" Feeling his own gift, Eisen felt like a cat scratching, and unwrapped it before Tang Cen could answer.Seeing the square thick glass bottle filled with dark green quicksand liquid, Eisen asked hesitantly, "This is...perfume?"

Tang Cen heard the doubt in his words, touched his cheek, and said embarrassedly: "Well, you smell it, I think it suits you."

Eisen pulled off his sleeves, revealing a muscular wrist.He opened the cap and sprayed it on his wrist a few times, the light mist fell on Eisen's wrist, and the place where the perfume was sprayed on his wrist shone in fragments under the light, thick and clear, accompanied by The special smell of grass and trees permeated the air.

He leaned under the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully. Eisen put his wrist under the Christmas tree lights, turned left and right to illuminate it for a long time, then turned his head and said to Tang Cen, "I like this smell, but am I so fancy?"

There was a bit of grievance in Eisen's tone, Tang Cen could hear it, but he still replied mercilessly: "Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Eisen curled his lips, and handed the remaining gift to Tang Cen with displeasure.Tang Cen was about to take it, but Aisen suddenly withdrew his hand: "Touch first."

Tang Cen nodded, feeling the shape of the contents through the packaging bag.The packaging bag was not big, Tang Cen touched a small hard object, like a bell, and made a slight sound when it touched it.

Eisen observed Tang Cen's expression, seeing that the expression on his face changed again and again, thinking of Tang Cen's expression when he opened the gift later, the grievance just now disappeared.

After Tang Cen finished touching, Aisen asked, "Did you find out what it was?"

"Necklace?" Tang Cen replied uncertainly.Just now he touched a thin ribbon that looked like a coil, and he also felt something that looked like a bell, but it was a necklace, and this pendant was a bit strange.

"Hmm...almost." Eisen made a long, mysterious sound, causing Tang Cen to cast him a subtle gaze.

Knowing that Tang Cen would get angry if he kept teasing, Eisen hurriedly handed the gift to Tang Cen. Tang Cen unsealed it, but was stunned when he saw the things in the bag.After a while, I picked it up with my fingertips and hooked out the things inside.

"Ding Ling——" A bell made in the shape of a Christmas tree was hung on a dark green ribbon, and it made several crisp sounds following Tang Cen's movements.

Tang Cen was very confused, Eisen took the choker in his hand, went around behind him, and put the ribbon with the bell on his neck.Insufficient sunlight in winter made Tang Cen's skin white and tender, and it was even fairer against the deep and thick dark green.

Eisen's throat rolled up and down, and he leaned behind Tang Cen's back, and murmured in a low voice: "Night..."

The fiery breath swept over the skin on the back of his neck, causing Tang Cen to dodge forward, and the bell on his neck jingled: "Ding Ling—Ding Ling—"

The voice echoed in the empty room, especially clear.
