under the filth

After living in Paris for a whole year, Tang Cen and Eisen's rented houses are also on their lease terms.Tang Cen discussed with the landlord, extended the lease for another six months, and returned Eisen's vacant house.

After leaving the house, Tang Cen accompanied Eisen to move all the things in his room to his side, pick and choose what needed to be used, and packed the rest and sent them back to the UK.

After dating for half a year, Eisen finally officially lived together with Tang Cen, although it was no different from living together before.

After solving the house issue, the rest is Tang Cen's visa issue.Tang Cen's visa was only one week away from expiry, and before that, Tang Cen had to go back to China and apply again, otherwise he would cause a lot of trouble.

It takes a long time to fly from Paris to China. Tang Cen worried that Opera Cham would not be able to adapt to the long flight, so he simply sent him to a pet hospital.Before sending them off, Tang Cen hugged Opera Cen and coaxed her all night.

"We have to travel far away to do business, you must be obedient in the pet hospital."

"I'll come back to pick you up as soon as I'm done, okay?"

Tang Cen talked about things like this all night, and Eisen's teeth were sour when he listened to it, but Opera Cun liked this kind of stuff.When Tang Cen sent Opera Cen to the pet hospital the next day, it behaved like a fake cat and got into the cage obediently. The cage door called.

Instead, Tang Cen kept squatting in front of the cage, fondling Opera Chow's little head, and asking the staff beside him from time to time.

Tang Cen had brought Opera Cen to this pet hospital many times, and he was familiar with the staff.Seeing that he was so worried about his pet, the staff unconsciously slowed down their tone when talking to him: "Don't worry, we will contact the right family to take care of it."

Eisen stood behind Tang Cen, and waited for him to say goodbye to Opera Cen before pulling him up from the ground: "Let's go, the plane will take off in two hours."

After settled down with Opera Cen, Eisen accompanied Tang Cen on the domestic flight.This was Tang Cen's first return to China this whole year, and it was also the first time Eisen came to the country where Tang Cen had lived.

The destination of the two people is not the city where Tang Cen has lived for more than ten years, but it is also a very prosperous metropolis, but even so, it is enough to arouse Eisen's curiosity.

"You have never been to China, why can you speak Chinese so well?" Tang Cen was surprised for a long time when he learned that Aisen came to China for the first time.

Eisen touched the back of his head, and laughed a few times embarrassingly: "That's not for..."

He spoke vaguely, and swallowed all the following words in his stomach. His concealed appearance looked very suspicious, but Tang Cen skipped the question without asking.Perhaps it was because of returning to a familiar country and listening to a familiar language, the forgotten memories resurfaced, Tang Cen felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang Cen stood on a somewhat unfamiliar street, with colorful neon lights flashing in front of his eyes, and the pounding heart in his chest made him dizzy.

Eisen noticed Tang Cen's abnormality immediately, and quickly reached out to support him: "What's wrong?"

"It's a little uncomfortable." Tang Cen said hoarsely. He leaned most of his body on Eisen, lowered his head, and rubbed his temples with his slender fingers.

Even if the brain temporarily forgets a certain memory, the blood and nerves of the body will not forget it. In the same environment, they can still awaken the memory deep in the brain.

After submitting the documents required for the visa, Eisen hailed a taxi and took Tang Cen back to the hotel.

In early summer, cities in the south were a bit stuffy even at night. Eisen was already sweating when he helped Tang Cen back to the hotel. However, although Tang Cen's clothes felt damp to the touch, they were slightly cool.

Eisen helped Tang Cen to the sofa chair and poured him another glass of warm water.The water glass was handed to him, but Tang Cen didn't take it. He covered his chest with his hands and frowned.

Tang Cen sat for nearly half an hour before recovering. During this time, Eisen held his hand and sat beside him. When he felt Tang Cen move, he immediately leaned forward: "Do you feel better?"

"I want to sleep for a while." Tang Cen picked up the water on the table and took a sip, stood up while leaning on the armrest of the sofa chair, and staggered into the bathroom.

The hot water flowed through the hair soaked in cold sweat, and also warmed the tired and cold body.Tang Cen rushed under the shower for a long time, when suddenly he heard the bathroom door being opened, and then a warm body leaned over.

Water flowed down the tip of his hair, blurring Tang Cen's vision, but he knew it was Eisen.

The sound of the water in the bathroom rang for a long time, with a short pause of half an hour in the middle, and then continued until almost the early morning.

When Eisen carried him out of the bathroom, Tang Cen was already too tired to open his eyes. The fatigue from the long-distance flight hadn't subsided yet. As soon as he touched the bed, most of the quilt was swept away in an instant, and he curled up in a ball on the bed.

Eisen carefully lifted Tang Cen's head and placed it on his lap, and turned on the warm air of the hair dryer at the lowest setting to help him dry his hair slowly.Tang Cen didn't sleep well, his brows were furrowed, he didn't know if it was because of the noise of the hair dryer or something else.

The next morning, before Eisen woke up, Tang Cen opened his eyes.He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was 06:30 in the morning, which was still very early, but Tang Cen couldn't fall asleep anyway, as if something was blocked in his chest, it was stuffy, and he couldn't breathe.

Tang Cen tossed and turned on the bed without falling asleep for a while, and the movement of his turning over woke Eisen up.

"Woke up so early? Do you want to sleep longer?" Eisen narrowed his eyes, pulled Tang Cen into his arms, and patted Tang Cen's back to comfort him.

Tang Cen lay in Aisen's arms, resting his head on his chest, closing his eyes and swallowing everything he wanted to say.

The short moment of being woken up midway didn't affect Eisen's jet lag at all, and he didn't wake up until noon.When Eisen opened his eyes, Tang Cen, who had been leaning in his arms, had changed his position, curled up in a corner of the bed with his back facing him, curled up with the quilt.

Eisen got up lightly, washed and changed his clothes before sitting next to Tang Cen, shaking his shoulder: "Tang Cen, do you want to eat?"

"You go." Tang Cen shrank under the quilt, avoiding Eisen's hand.

Tang Cen slept intermittently for a while after waking up, and couldn't fall asleep completely after Aisen woke up. He heard the sound of Aisen washing and changing clothes, and also heard the subtle sound of his clothes and quilt rubbing against him when he sat beside him .

Eisen got up and walked to the window, and opened a gap in the tightly drawn curtains.Through that gap, Eisen saw the sky outside the window. It was already noon, but the sky outside the window was still gloomy, with thick dark clouds floating, and it looked like it would rain anytime.

It's no wonder that Tang Cen was uncomfortable in such weather, Eisen had no intention of going out, so he called the hotel to deliver food upstairs.

When the hotel delivered lunch, Eisen asked Tang Cen if he would like to have some together, but Tang Cen shook his head silently and closed his eyes again.

Eisen finished his lunch hastily, took out his tablet to check the weather in the next few days, checked his mailbox again, and dealt with emails and work that he hadn't had time to reply to before.

"Hmm..." Tang Cen, who was lying on the bed, suddenly let out a low moan, and Eisen hurriedly put down the tablet in his hand to check.

Tang Cen grabbed the edge of the quilt, frowned tightly, as if he was enduring great pain, and let out a few suppressed groans from his throat.

Eisen didn't dare to wake him up right away, so he could only shake Tang Cen's shoulders with a moderate force, calling his name while shaking, and slowly woke him up.

Tang Cen struggled to open his eyes, his vision was dim, and he could only vaguely see a light golden figure moving in front of him, and it took him a long time to focus on the figure before he could see the figure clearly.

"Uncomfortable." Tang Cen turned over and lay on his back on the bed, putting his hands on his forehead, blocking Eisen's worried gaze.

Eisen sighed, got up and went to the bathroom, after a brief sound of running water, Eisen sat on the bedside with a towel that exuded light water vapor.He pulled Tang Cen's hand from his forehead, and carefully wiped off the cold sweat on his face with a warm towel.

Even though it was summer, the temperature on Tang Cen's body was frighteningly low. His hands were cold, and the temperature on his forehead was not too high.Eisen helped him wipe his face, washed the towel again with warm water, and then raised his hand to wipe it slowly.

A warm towel was held in his hand, and waves of heat came from the towel, calming his tense nerves.Aisen's movements were very light, Tang Cen slowly relaxed his body, and the suppressed drowsiness swept over again.

After wiping his hands and neck, Eisen slowly put Tang Cen's hands back into the quilt, helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, and patted his shoulder lightly through the quilt, before sitting next to Tang Cen with his tablet in his arms .

Tang Cen didn't sleep well. When Eisen sat down, he seemed to sense it, hummed and twisted twice, turned over and hugged Eisen's leg.Eisen rubbed Tang Cen's head, and continued to deal with the unfinished work just now.

Eisen didn't have much work left, and he finished it all in less than an hour. When he finished his work and put down the tablet, Tang Cen still maintained his original posture.

Tang Cen had been on the plane all day, and he didn't have a good rest last night, and now he rarely fell asleep. Eisen didn't want to wake him up, but his leg was pressed by Tang Cen for too long, the blood flow was not smooth, and he had already started to feel dizzy. numb.

Eisen raised his leg slightly to move his ankle, his movement was very small, and Tang Cen, who was leaning on his leg, still woke up.He raised his head to look at Eisen, then looked at his slightly raised thigh, pulled the quilt and turned over, curled up with his back to Eisen.

Seeing Tang Cen's reaction, Eisen rubbed his thigh and asked, "Are you awake?"

A muffled "hmm" came from under the quilt, Eisen smiled, and lay down too, pressing half of his body on Tang Cen's body: "Do you know what you look like now?"

Tang Cen got his head out of the quilt: "What?"

"Like a girl on her period, her whole body is not..." Before Eisen finished speaking, Tang Cen picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at his face.

Blocking Eisen's next words with a pillow, Tang Cen frowned and said, "Go away."

Eisen was unprepared, and took Tang Cen's slap firmly, and suddenly stopped joking: "Are you angry?"

"No." Tang Cen paused, and then said, "Actually, you are right in saying that."

Eisen was stunned for two seconds before hearing Tang Cen continue to say: "It's the same as women's dysmenorrhea. If you haven't experienced it yourself, you can't understand it. Those who haven't experienced it may even think that those who are enduring these pains are making a fuss."

There is no so-called empathy in this world unless one has truly experienced it. Tang Cen has always understood this truth.

Just returning to a familiar country, or even staying in a city far away from home for a short time, the flesh and blood still clearly remember the pain under the wound that has healed.It is impossible for Eisen to understand such pain.

Eisen realized what Tang Cen was thinking of, but pretended to change the topic casually: "How did you know so clearly? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"Because of...a classmate from before." Tang Cen hesitated for a moment, and used the vague title of "classmate" to bring up the topic.

Tang Cen still didn't say anything about Jiang Yan. He was not good at expressing himself, and he didn't know what it would be like in Eisen's eyes when he described Jiang Yan's things.

In the eyes of his former doctor, his illness was caused by Jiang Yan. If that girl hadn't appeared, he wouldn't be suffering repeatedly in pain as he is now.

Jiang Yan passed away for so many years, and he didn't want to leave her with a stigma for no reason.

Not to mention in front of those who love him.

Eisen didn't care who the "classmate" Tang Cen said was, he rubbed Tang Cen's side face, and said in a coquettish tone: "Get well soon, let's go out together when we get better Play."

Before Tang Cen could answer, Aisen's cell phone vibrated suddenly. Aisen picked it up and glanced at it, frowning slightly.

Tang Cen pushed him: "Go and do your work, I'll sleep for a while." Then he shrank back under the quilt, hiding most of his face under the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes.

Eisen kissed the corner of his eyes, got up and went to the balcony to talk on the phone. Tang Cen slowly closed his eyes when he heard Eisen's low voice coming in from the window.
