Adrian Tang didn't want the two elderly people in his family to worry about his daily life. He was already this old, and it would be too idle for him to do anything. He told Miles Tang that they were indeed not separated, but they were indeed not together now.
Miles Tang did not come back that night. Adrian Tang wanted to talk to him, but Miles Tang clearly did not want to.
Miles Tang is a talented cardiac surgeon who came back with Adrian Tang. They have been together for a long time, many years.
Adrian Tang was still young when he pursued Miles Tang, before he finished his eight years of medical school. Miles Tang was a year younger than him, a very proud junior, handsome, fair, and dazzling. However, no matter how dazzling he was, he could not compare to Adrian Tang, who was too outstanding a legendary figure. Professor Xu was a close student of him, and he valued him very much. He would always take him with him when he performed surgery in the hospital, and he would always have a part in scientific research projects.
Miles Tang's pride gave way when he faced Adrian Tang. He didn't need Adrian Tang to pursue him for a long time. He agreed after two months. In that era, people were not as open about S3xual orientation as they are now. Two equally outstanding people were attracted to each other and got close to each other. This was a lucky thing no matter how you looked at it.
There was a photo of them in the frame at the door. In the photo, Miles Tang jumped onto Adrian Tang's back, smiling brightly and handsomely. At that time, Adrian Tang was 23, and now he is 36. They had broken up and gotten back together several times.
Miles Tang once said that breaking up hurts the first time, but it hurts less the second time, and after a few times you become numb to it.
He was a man who lived very clearly, and wanted to make himself live comfortably and bravely. Last year, he drank too much and didn't take off the white shirt he wore when he went out. He put his arms around Adrian Tang's neck, buried his face in his neck, and actually cried.
Adults don't seem to cry that often. It seems that crying after adulthood is considered to be a very undignified thing. Miles Tang has always been decent, even in front of Adrian Tang.
So Adrian Tang hadn't seen Miles Tang cry for several years. He cried so hard that his white shirt was wrinkled to the point of being unsightly.
He put his arm around Adrian Tang's neck and said, "I don't want to be with you anymore, but I can't bear to leave you. Adrian Tang, being with you for so many years and torturing each other is the most...unmanly thing I've ever done in my life."
Adrian Tang didn't understand why Miles Tang felt that they were torturing each other by being together. You couldn't hear any truth from a drunk person.
So he just K!ssed Miles Tang on the ear, just like he did every time he coaxed him.
Miles Tang was sometimes sharp-tongued and could say anything he wanted. But he wasn't always like that. He also had his moments of obedience. Just like every time he tried to get back together with Adrian Tang after a breakup, he was always obedient, gentle and docile, telling her that he was wrong and that he shouldn't have done that.
He never hesitated to apologize and hug him. He put away his sharp thorns and proud chin, and smiled and said, "Doctor Tang, forgive me." In Adrian Tang's eyes, they had never really separated. It was just Miles Tang's temper. After the temper, he should let him calm down for a few days, and then he would figure it out.
But this time Miles Tang's temper lasted for a long time. As winter turned to spring, Miles Tang had not returned yet. It was unknown when he packed up many of his things, perhaps when Adrian Tang was at work one day.
During this period, Adrian Tang approached him several times, but Miles Tang just said that he was tired and wanted to change his life.
Nathan Tao owed him a lot of drawings last year, and he started to pay them back slowly after the New Year. There were too many clients who made appointments with him, spending a lot of money and waiting for one or two years just to get a drawing from Nathan Tao.
Although Nathan Tao's reputation in the circle is not good, it does not prevent him from making money. Some people criticize him, but some people appreciate him. Some tattoo artists in the circle have criticized Nathan Tao on their personal social media accounts, saying that he is not pure and that he charges too much money, but when the class started, they still paid six-figure tuition fees.
This is also the hateful thing about this person. You are fed up with this person, and you think he is full of money, but you have to admit that his hands are so powerful, his drawings are far beyond the domestic level, and he is a master wherever he goes.
"Please touch up the color for me. I feel like my color is no longer fresh." Xia Yuan drove all the way here to invite Nathan Tao to have dinner together in the evening and ask Nathan Tao to touch up the color for him.
"I'm busy and don't have time." Nathan Tao has been working on the tattoo for almost a week. It's a Japanese full-body tattoo, from neck to heels. The client didn't let anyone else help, and he didn't agree to other tattoo artists in the shop helping him draw the lines. He didn't care about the price, and only let Nathan Tao do this tattoo. Such a tattoo can't be completed in one go. Some parts will scab before it's finished, so it can only be done in several times.
"When you finish your work, take some time to finish it for me. It's such a small piece." Xia Yuan moved a chair and sat next to him.
Nathan Tao wore a mask on his face and was very focused on his work without even looking up. There were several tattoo artists watching him, watching Nathan Tao enjoying himself so much.
"No matter who makes your picture, it's the same. Even if you add some color, it's not a new picture." Huang Yida staggered upstairs, holding a large teacup and drinking as he walked.
"I just want him to come." Xia Yuan did not change his mind.
"You really don't trust our people," Huang Yida laughed, "Who among us doesn't mingle with others when they go out?"
"It's true that I don't believe it," Xia Yuan shrugged and laughed twice, "Only he would have the nerve to not pay me if he was playing a trick on me. I would be embarrassed if it was any other guy."
Huang Yida said with a "tsk" sound: "What money is this?"
Nathan Tao sneered at the side: "You are so shameless."
Xia Yuan is Nathan Tao's friend for many years. They met at school, and it has been more than ten years.
This guy is in the medical device business, a businessman with great business sense. He went into business without hesitation after graduating from university and has been doing very well ever since.
"Is Lao Tian on duty today?" Xia Yuan asked from the side.
"I don't know." The machine in Nathan Tao's hand kept humming. This sound might sound noisy to others, but for tattoo artists, listening to it makes them feel at ease.
Xia Yuan lowered his head and fiddled with his phone for a while, then said, "If he doesn't want to add me, I'll connect him later."
Xia Yuan's small drawing was not completed in the end because he wanted to drink in the evening and Nathan Tao did not give it to him.
"I hate your hospital the most. The traffic is so congested." Xia Yuan said to Tian Yi in the back seat, "It took us half an hour to turn the red light."
Tian Yi was picked up today and didn't have to drive himself, so he felt quite relaxed: "Why don't you just go through the back door? The back door isn't crowded."
"It's jammed, the map is all red." They had to turn back from the intersection just now. Only three cars could pass at a green light. Xia Yuan was so tired of the queue that he said, "Your traffic is jammed here, and Nathan Tao's traffic is even worse. I've been riding on you two all day."
"Please stop nagging," Tian Yi leaned forward and patted the back of his chair, "You've almost made our Nathan Tao fall asleep."
Nathan Tao had actually fallen asleep, and was still in a daze. Tian Yi pushed him and said, "Hey!" "Why are you so sleepy?"
"Tired." Nathan Tao replied with his eyes closed.
"Stayed up late?" Tian Yi asked him.
"Draw a picture." Nathan Tao still had his eyes closed. He was so familiar with Tian Yi that he didn't need to open his eyes to say hello.
"Another celebrity?"
Nathan Tao responded with a "yeah", and Tian Yi laughed: "I don't know why those celebrities have to get tattoos at night."
"We are all night owls and can't wake up during the day," said Nathan Tao.
Nathan Tao has tattooed many celebrities, and several tattoo enthusiasts are very familiar with him. Nathan Tao is a person with a wide range of social connections and has many friends. Sometimes knowing one person is like knowing all of them. His WeChat friends are almost at the upper limit.
Last night, Nathan Tao Zatu's *blocked keyword* was called something else. Someone introduced him to me, but I must have seen him somewhere before. He looked familiar. He was not a young actor. He came directly from the set and removed his makeup at Nathan Tao's place. His skin looked very bad after removing his makeup.
Nathan Tao has three stores in total. The original studio in the residential building is still there. Usually celebrities or clients who don't want to be seen do their work there. It's only a little over 100 square meters in total, and it's usually very expensive to do work there. This is also a point of criticism for Nathan Tao. He says he doesn't have time, but people who do work there can cut in line. In the end, it's all about money.
Some people say that Nathan Tao has no class at all and is worth money to be his grandson.
Nathan Tao doesn't like to talk while working, but when the other person is in pain or too nervous, he will chat to distract his attention.
Last night, the young man kept calling him "Teacher Nathan Tao". Nathan Tao smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't call me that. It sounds like a hairdresser."
The other party laughed for a long time, and then called him "Brother Dong" in a very intimate manner.
Nathan Tao is very handsome and attractive. His light stubble makes him look tough and casual. His medium-length hair is tied up on the top of his head. He wears a solid-colored short-sleeved shirt, and the muscles on his arms are very visible. Although he is wearing a mask and looking down while tattooing, his movements and expressions when tattooing are very attractive. He is not a young man and has seen everything. The other party's attitude and eyes are quite straightforward, and Nathan Tao understands it after just a glance.
The tattoo is located on the inside of the arm, and Nathan Tao had to pinch his arm to get the tattoo done. His hands, wearing black gloves, pinched his arm until it turned red after a while.
The other person raised his free hand and touched the back of Nathan Tao's hand, and said softly, "Your hand is a bit heavy."
Nathan Tao then let go, stood up and said, "Take a break."
When he came back, he changed his attitude and didn't say anything. Before he left, he asked if he could add WeChat? Nathan Tao told him what to pay attention to and changed the subject.
It's common for strangers to have some tests and tacit understanding with each other, and Nathan Tao has become very skilled in dealing with them.
Tonight, the three of them gathered together and had a few drinks. Old friends put aside all the politeness and scheming, talked about dirty stuff and trivial things, and they hadn't gathered together for a long time. In fact, there were several other brothers like them, but it was not the weekend and they hadn't made an appointment in advance, so the others were not free.
The place they went to was a store owned by a friend of Xia Yuan. It was newly opened, and Xia Yuan said he wanted to go and show his support.
The place is nice, although it is newly opened there are still many people.
Nathan Tao and Tian Yi went in first, and Xia Yuan went to say hello to his friend. Tian Yi recorded a short video for his girlfriend, and deliberately filmed Nathan Tao going in, saying while recording: "Wife, I'm out for a drink with Nathan Tao and Xia Yuan. No one else, no messing around, report completed."
Nathan Tao was laughing beside him.
"You don't have to laugh. You don't understand the fun that only married people have." Tian Yi sent the short video, and his wife sent him an "ok" expression.
"I really don't understand." Nathan Tao nodded, still smiling.
After a while, Tian Yi's wife sent a message to Nathan Tao: Just take him to your place tonight and don't let him come back. I'm too lazy to serve him when he's drunk.
Nathan Tao threw his phone toward Tian Yi and said, "People dislike you."
Tian Yi replied using Nathan Tao’s phone: Received.
They both drank a glass before Xia Yuan came up. He didn't come alone, but brought someone with him.
"What a coincidence, meeting a junior fellow student." Xia Yuan looked very happy, and glanced at the man in a white shirt next to him, "Let me introduce you, this is... oh yes, Lao Tian, you two should know each other, don't you remember?"
Tian Yi looked at the elegant and gentle young man beside Xia Yuan, a little surprised, and smiled and said: "Of course I remember, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Nathan Tao had no impression of him. He had never seen him and didn't know him.
Xia Yuan introduced them to each other. Tian Yi smiled and said beside him, "Miles Tang, don't you remember her? Xia Yuan often mentioned her back then."
Nathan Tao had some impression of what he said. At that time, Xia Yuan was not sure whether he was gay or not, and he was always thinking about a junior. Later, before he could figure it out, he was chased away by someone, and Xia Yuan was still upset about it.
Later, Xia Yuan became completely gay. The playboy was no longer as innocent as he was before. Whenever he drank and reminisced about the past, he would always think about the time when he had a white moonlight.
He mentioned it so many times that Nathan Tao really remembered it.
Nathan Tao reached out his hand: "Nathan Tao."
The other person also reached out his hand and shook it. His palm felt a little cold. He smiled and said, "Miles Tang."
