The Guardian of Unseen Dreams Chapter 5

These two are really a good match.

One is a chief ophthalmologist, the other is a genius in cardiac surgery, both are excellent people. No matter from which aspect, you have to say they are a perfect match.

Nathan Tao and Adrian Tang met through Tian Yi, who was a senior whom Tian Yi had always admired. Not long after Adrian Tang came back from abroad, Tian Yi personally sent Ethan Tao to his office and said, "Senior brother, this is my younger brother."

One of the research directions that Adrian Tang conducted while abroad was retinitis pigmentosa, a global problem that people at home and abroad are trying to solve. There is currently no effective way to cure the genetic defect.

Ethan Tao was eleven or twelve years old at that time. He was brought to Adrian Tang by Tian Yi. What he smelled was the unique unsettling smell of the hospital and the crisp minty smell of the person in front of him.

Nathan Tao and Logan Chi were not there. Ethan Tao felt a little uneasy in the unfamiliar environment, so he leaned towards Tian Yi.

Doctor Tang in front of him raised his hand and touched his head. His palm was warm. He stayed on his head for a moment and did not even take his hand away when he asked Tian Yi.

Just like the unconscious movements his brother makes when chatting with people.

Ethan Tao has been blind since he was four years old. All that remains in his mind are fragmented images of the world he has seen. As time goes by, he can no longer remember clearly, and even his dreams are no longer clear. There is always only a faint and blurry sense of light in front of his eyes, and it makes no difference whether there is light or not.

Blind is blind, Ethan Tao had long since calmly accepted it. He had long experienced the reactions and psychological processes that a disabled person would have, and because he was still young at the time, it was not difficult for him to accept it. He was even glad that he became blind at a very young age and did not have a deep memory of colors.

Ethan Tao never cared about his eyes. After all, it was already like this, and it didn't matter to him whether it would continue to deteriorate or develop. It would make no difference in the results.

That day, Dr. Tang leaned over and said to him, "Don't give up on your eyes. You have to protect them. No one has given up on you. There are many excellent doctors and scientific research teams in the world who are trying to find solutions. Your eyes are in good condition and healthy. They are persisting on their own."

Ethan Tao pursed his lips and nodded.

Adrian Tang smiled and tapped his forehead lightly, making a very light sound. He said, "You don't know how beautiful your eyes are. Protect them. Trust those excellent doctors and trust me. I hope that one day when I have a way to cure it, your eyes will still be as beautiful as they are now."

The mint scent on Adrian Tang was vague, sometimes a little bit, sometimes not. Ethan Tao sniffed and remembered the mint scent on him.

It was an afternoon that Ethan Tao remembered very clearly. His brother went out, and Logan Chi went to buy things for him. He was taken to the hospital by Tian Yi, who said he would take him to see a very good doctor.

Before that, he had seen countless doctors, and his brother took him to many ophthalmology hospitals.

After that, Ethan Tao only had this one doctor because he liked Adrian Tang too much.

Naturally, Nathan Tao also likes what Ethan Tao likes.

Adrian Tang was a very good doctor, but Nathan Tao didn't dare to make friends with him. They only had dinner together once at the beginning, just to talk about Ethan Tao's eyes. After that, they only met each other every time they took Ethan Tao for a follow-up visit. They greeted each other and didn't have any more contact.

It seems that those social methods are inappropriate and disrespectful to Adrian Tang. Nathan Tao thinks this distance is good and not abrupt.

Because of this relationship, Nathan Tao always looked at Miles Tang with a little more love for her. After that, every time he saw Miles Tang again, Nathan Tao showed more care and a friendly attitude.

Once, there was a party with many people, most of whom were alumni of their medical school. Nathan Tao knew many of them well, so he blocked a few glasses of wine for Miles Tang. Someone made fun of them, and Nathan Tao quickly waved his hand, "Don't say that."

Xia Yuan also asked privately, "Nathan Tao, are you... attracted to Miles Tang?"

Nathan Tao immediately shook his head: "Nothing."

"Then why do I feel that you treat him well?" Xia Yuan glanced at Nathan Tao, sizing up his expression, "Or am I seeing things?"

"Don't think about it. What are you thinking about?" Nathan Tao frowned. It was nonsense and he didn't want to talk about it.

Xia Yuan kindly advised: "Everyone has a family. Don't you know that person? You should use the right lid for the right pot. Don't make mistakes and go astray."

Nathan Tao picked up a book and threw it at Xia Yuan, then stood up and ignored him: "Shut up, I said it's not true, don't talk about it, don't you feel ashamed?"

Nathan Tao really didn't have any thoughts at all. Not to mention whether Miles Tang had a family or not, Nathan Tao had no interest in it at all. Besides, his care for Miles Tang came from Adrian Tang. After adding Miles Tang on WeChat, he never sent a single message to her, and the two of them never contacted each other again.

Even when Nathan Tao heard others talk about this, he felt ashamed and couldn't listen any further.

Miles Tang was a very respectable person. Whenever they met, he was always dressed in a white shirt and suit pants. He was always well-dressed and proper. He was always moderate in his conversations and sMiles Tang, and kept a little distance. When Xia Yuan was young, it was this energy in him that he liked. He seemed to be unfriendly to everyone, but he was not arrogant either. This made people care about him.

Someone who was familiar with him said that Miles Tang didn't have any particularly good or close friends, and he kept a distance from everyone. He was the same in the hospital, gentle and polite, didn't talk much, and didn't get angry easily.

Such a person is too perfect, like a fake person.

Perhaps he is only his true self in front of Adrian Tang.

Adrian Tang's car waited in the parking lot of the Second Hospital for about an hour, and Miles Tang came out after get off work. Adrian Tang parked very close to Miles Tang's car, and honked the horn when Miles Tang came over.

Miles Tang saw it and subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Adrian Tang pressed the button again, and Miles Tang came over and got into the car.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Miles Tang was avoiding him. It had been more than three months since the beginning of the year, and they had just met for the first time. Adrian Tang said, "Let's chat."

Everyone knew that this was not going to work. Miles Tang nodded calmly, "Okay."

Adrian Tang didn't say another word after that. The two drove back home, Adrian Tang's house. Miles Tang had moved a lot of his things, but there were still many traces of his life here. Adrian Tang didn't move his remaining things. This was where he had lived for several years, and everything was familiar.

His slippers were still on the shoe cabinet at the door. The two of them changed their shoes in silence, and then went to the bathroom to wash their hands. The habits of living together for many years were engraved in their bones.

Afterwards, they cooked together tacitly. The division of labor in preparing the ingredients and cooking was clear. They didn't even need to talk or communicate to accomplish anything.

After dinner, they both sat down on the sofa. Adrian Tang had just washed his hands, so they were still a little damp. He wiped them with a piece of paper and said to Miles Tang, "What do you think? Tell me."

What was Miles Tang thinking?

Miles Tang was at a loss for words when Adrian Tang asked him this question. He held his jaw in silence for a moment, then asked Adrian Tang, "Do you remember why we met this time?"

Adrian Tang nodded.

He finally remembered why they were upset this time. It wasn't Miles Tang who was angry this time, but Adrian Tang who got angry first.

The reason is a little difficult to explain, especially for respectable people like them.

Miles Tang has never liked intimacy, and he somewhat hates S3x.

When they were both in their twenties, Miles Tang wasn't too keen on this either, but he didn't show any aversion at the time and was willing to cooperate. Moreover, Adrian Tang could make him happy and make him beg for mercy or cry. At that time, Miles Tang seemed normal and would usually accept what Adrian Tang wanted to do.

But in recent years, he has become less and less interested in doing that. Most of the time, he just perfunctorily passes it by, saying that he is too tired. This is a matter of mutual consent. If one party is unwilling, then it is meaningless.

Although Miles Tang was undoubtedly comfortable when they were actually doing it, Adrian Tang was in absolute control and knew Miles Tang's body well enough to avoid any disharmony between them, Miles Tang was unwilling and even disgusted.

This time they did it because Adrian Tang wanted to do it. Miles Tang half-heartedly agreed and did not explicitly refuse to say that he did not want to. In fact, his body reaction clearly showed that he wanted it.

But in the end he still pushed Adrian Tang away.

"...I don't want to." Miles Tang frowned and took a deep breath. He didn't even look at Adrian Tang.

Adrian Tang was silent at first, then he asked Miles Tang: "What's wrong with you?"

The two were already naked from the waist up. Miles Tang pulled her pajamas over and put them on. She whispered, "I'm fine. I just don't want to do it. Can I get it done for you?"

This had happened many times before. Miles Tang would not hesitate to bend down or kneel down, or use other methods, rather than let everything happen and continue naturally.

It is indeed difficult to talk about the disharmony in the S3xual life between lovers, especially when it happens between two people who are physically and mentally healthy.

Miles Tang was so resolute every time he pushed her away, his face was even filled with disgust and disdain. The disgust on his face was somewhat hurtful.

Adrian Tang looked unhappy. He rarely lost his temper or frowned at Miles Tang, and Miles Tang didn't like to see him with a gloomy face.

Miles Tang said: "I just don't like doing it. I don't want to do it anymore. If you feel that you can't live without doing it, then forget it. I really don't like it."

He was still a little bit angry when he said this, with an inexplicable anger in his heart.

Adrian Tang never forced Miles Tang to do anything. When Miles Tang told him directly that he didn't want to, Adrian Tang never continued. But it was too much for lovers to do that. Adrian Tang buttoned up his pajamas in silence. Then he looked at Miles Tang and said solemnly, "Solve the problem. Don't just throw 'forget it' at me every time. These two words won't solve anything."

Miles Tang couldn't stand Adrian Tang talking to him angrily: "How do I solve this? I just don't like it. Do you have to make me accept and do it with you to solve this?"

In the end, they didn't come up with anything. Adrian Tang was in a bad mood and Miles Tang's words were sharp. From then on, their relationship became cold. A few days later, Miles Tang moved out and Adrian Tang became busy.

But it’s not right to leave it like this, this matter must be resolved eventually, and everything that needs to be discussed must be discussed thoroughly.

The time they each had to calm down was long enough. More than three months was enough for both of them to calm down, think about the problem calmly and then solve it, so that both of them could be at peace.

Miles Tang sat on the sofa in silence for a long time, until all the people who were walking their dogs in the neighborhood had left and the lights in the building opposite had been turned on. Only then did he speak.

The fact that you spoke after such a long silence meant that it was not something that was easy to say.

He looked at Adrian Tang, his eyes reddened a little, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not angry this time, and I'm not saying this in anger. Brother Yan, I really want to... forget it."
