Chapter 178 Chapter 178
After Charlize finished filming all day, she returned home with Karl and went to the third floor. She was about to take out the key to open the door, but Karl, who was standing behind to say goodbye, suddenly patted his head, "Charlie Hush." This stopped Charlize's movements, and Karl pointed upstairs and whispered, "Follow me upstairs."
Charlize frowned, "I want to go back to take a hot bath and then go to bed." Although she said so, she still followed Carl's footsteps to the fourth floor, "Is there anything else?" Charlize Rubbing her tired temples, she asked, but when the door on the fourth floor opened, Charlize saw Alex and Joseph sitting in front of the TV in the living room playing Nintendo's red and white machine, she was stunned, " Why are you all here?"
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already half past twelve, and Charlize obviously didn't quite understand what was going on. "Who can explain it to me?"
Alex and Joseph, who were playing games, naturally didn't have time to speak, but Carl said, "Uma has arranged a show for Hugo on the third floor tonight, please let us avoid it."
"Uma? Hugo?" Charlize froze in place, looked back at the door, moved a little bit, but stopped. After a day of work today, Charlize's brain is a little dull, but now it's reacting, Uma has prepared a special event for Hugo, so let them help. This is normal for friends.
"Everyone is a friend, it doesn't matter if you help." Alex's voice sounded next to him, Charlize lowered his eyes, savoring the sentence carefully, a bitter arc twitched at the corner of his mouth, but then He disappeared, and then a full smile broke out, "Hoo, I'm already so tired, I can't go back to the room, it seems that Hugo owes me a big meal."
Then Charlize walked to the sofa in the center of the hall and sat down, relaxing his tired limbs. The decoration on the fourth floor is as simple as the third floor, but it is also full of manly atmosphere, such as this tan sofa that Charlize is lying on now - this is old furniture picked up from the street, but it is still very comfortable Yes, it's just unbearable with magazines, clothes, two beer cans, a dumbbell, and a pair of slippers on it.
Charlize groaned angrily, "You did it on purpose!" The most unbearable thing for Charlize was this kind of chaos, and what was hidden was even more terrifying. But she's really tired now, and she really doesn't have the energy to organize anymore.
Hearing this, Carl couldn't help but smile, "You don't sleep here, just take a rest, don't tidy up. I think you can go downstairs in half an hour at most, and that's it."
"Feast? That's too cheap for him." Alex finally found time and said, but he answered Charlize's previous topic, "Hugo bought each of us a brick this time. , how, this gift is not bad." Alex said happily.
"Brick?" Charlize also forced himself to divert his attention from the sofa, looked in the direction Alex pointed, and saw a brick, "This is... a mobile phone? It’s a lot smaller.” Charlize had seen this kind of thing once when he was in a modeling agency, but it was obviously much larger at that time.
"Yes, this is the latest model, a gift that Hugo bought for us." Alex said happily, "That's mine, yours is in your room, but it's all the same, you can learn Use it and see it."
"It turns out that he had a plan for a long time." Charlize looked at the brick in his hand and muttered in a low voice. Joseph seemed to have heard a few words, and turned back to ask "what", Charlize quickly shook his head, "No, nothing." Then he let out a long breath, his expression relaxed, "How can this be used?" Although still very tired, But the excitement of being exposed to new things made Charlize less tired.
"Me too?" Karl sat down beside the sofa with a face full of surprise, looking at the turning head in Charlize's hand, Joseph pointed to the big box on the table, "That's yours," Karl immediately took the box He got up, "Wow, that's a huge thank you to Hugo. Does this thing work? How does it work on the phone?"
"Just try and find out." Alex paused the game and stood up happily, "Hugo saved our phone numbers, you give me a call, I'll go to the room and see Let's see what the effect is."
"But, where can I look up the phone number?" Carl and Charlize looked at each other, although there didn't seem to be many buttons on this brick, but how to use it was really worrying.
Joseph also stood up and laughed out loud, "Hugo has studied it, he taught me."
A group of people are sitting here experimenting with new mobile phones, and they find it novel, and the passage of time is not obvious. Until the door on the fourth floor was opened again by the key, the sound of the door opening suddenly made the four people in the room stunned. They turned their heads and looked at the door. Going down, even the sound of the engine whizzing by the sports car will cause an echo, so the sound of the key opening the door is more abrupt and creepy.
The door was pushed open, and a tall and strong man appeared in everyone's sight, with neatly trimmed beard and neat short hair, a tough style hit his face.
"Oh, it's you, back!" Carl was relieved when he saw the person coming, and Joseph also raised his hand and waved it as a greeting.
The man simply nodded and didn't say anything. Even after saying hello, he didn't stop and walked towards his room with big strides. The pair of high-top black military boots made a dull sound on the concrete floor, and then ended with the muffled sound of the door of the room closing, making the hall calm again.
"Who?" Alex asked, and Charlize also looked at Carl, expressing curiosity about Alex's question.
"That roommate of ours seems to be called Dropnier, right?" Karl cast a confirming glance at Joseph and got a positive answer, "German. I didn't expect to come back so early today."
"I said, why are you speaking in a low voice?" Joseph's words were a bit abrupt, causing Karl, Charlize, and Alex to look back at him, which made Joseph a little awkward, and he couldn't help but lower his voice, " I mean, we don't have to worry about waking Ernst, why so quiet?"
Only then did Alex and Carl realize that they had unknowingly lowered their voices just now, as if they were worried about disturbing others. Now that Joseph knew this, the two couldn't help but chuckle. Although Charlize didn't speak, she found that she didn't realize anything unusual, as if their conversation in a low voice seemed to be justifiable. Now that Joseph said it plainly, she realized it.
Charlize couldn't help looking back at the tightly closed bedroom door. Although he had just met this roommate named Dropnier, his perseverance really left a very deep impression on people. , so that Alex lowered his voice subconsciously.
"Don't worry, he doesn't mind other people's noise, I guess it's because of the drumming..." Carl said very seriously, and then pointed to his ear, as if to say that his roommate's hearing was degraded because of drumming, This made the other three roll their eyes at the same time. Even if the drummer's hearing will be affected, it will be a long-term effect, and the Dropnier just now doesn't look that old.
Carl didn't realize that he was being scolded by the three people, so he retracted his attention and said, "Charlize, you and Alex go downstairs, now it is estimated that Hugo and Uma have also used up the hall, you go back to wash. Come on, rest early. Charlize has a play tomorrow morning at half past ten."
Charlize stood up and stretched, "Anyway, we have tried our best. If Hugo and Uma still don't solve it, then there is nothing we can do, right?" The romance is over, and if there is no romance, the enthusiasm will be almost cooled.
Although they said so, when Charlize and Alex went downstairs, they tried their best to keep their hands and feet light. When they entered the hall, they only saw the faint candlelight in the kitchen. After confirming that Hugo and Uma were not in the hall, this Just breathed a sigh of relief. Alex whispered to Charlize, "You go to wash first, you have to get up early tomorrow, I don't have to."
Charlize nodded, tiptoed back to the room to get a change of clothes, then tiptoed into the bathroom, and even tried to avoid making more noise when taking a shower—after all, it was reluctant to be far from Hugo's room. As friends, that's all they can do.
Charlize was still thinking seriously about whether she should change rooms with Hugo. After all, if Uma came here often in the future, it would definitely be more convenient for them to live in a relatively distant space alone. But then Charlize shook his head and rejected the idea. If Uma and Hugo wanted a separate space, then the shared house is destined to not get the desired result. Maybe going to Uma's residence is a good choice.
While thinking about it, Charlize briefly took a shower, and after coming out, he tapped on Alex's room door, motioning for Alex to wash. Looking at Charlize who was walking on tiptoe, Alex couldn't help laughing. The two of them made eye contact. Alex pointed to Hugo's room, and then pointed to the portable hand he was playing with. Phone, and then helplessly spread out his hands and shrugged, as if to say: This phone is also quite expensive, let's sacrifice a little more.
This expression immediately made Charlize happy, showing a big smile. But after laughing, Charlize deliberately flattened his heels and took two steps on his slippers, but unexpectedly, the sound when the slippers touched the concrete floor was unexpectedly loud, even in the hall There was an echo, which terrified Charlize, making her instantly stiff in place, and then slowly tiptoed.
Alex also grinned and stood still, obviously frightened by the sound, and when he regained his calm, he saw Charlize's zombie-like posture and almost burst out laughing. In the dead of night, especially when roommates have special tasks, it is really hard to hold back laughter!
