1982 Chapter 1982
Charlize closed her eyes, her complicated thoughts slowly calmed down in the cool sea breeze, and the restlessness and uncertainty in her heart were quietly submerged in her heart. The alcohol in her chest was burning fiercely, causing her brain to become chaotic. She seemed to have only drank two glasses of champagne and a cocktail, but all her thoughts were muddled into a mess, as if all the scenery was blurred. Covered with a halo.
Open your eyes and look up at the night sky, the bright stars are surrounded by a blur of light, lighting up the entire night sky together, the navy blue dome has a thrilling beauty, even the exclamation disappeared in the throat Here, I can only open my eyes and accept the baptism of the beautiful scenery in front of me in a daze.
"What's the matter? Are you really drunk?" The familiar warm voice broke the silence in the middle of the night. Even if Charlize didn't need to look up, she knew that Hugo was standing beside her. The voice was too familiar to her. up. But Charlize did not lower her head, still looking at the night sky in front of her, and then heard Leonardo's voice, "Here, the warm water you want."
Leonardo put warm water into Charlize's hands, which made Charlize chuckle, "Don't worry, it's not that serious, it's just that I choked on drinking just now." At this moment, she lowered her head, Looking forward again, he saw Hugo and Leonardo standing side by side in front of him.
The way Charlize answered was really short and rude, which made Hugo and Leonardo both black-headed, and Charlize couldn't help but chuckled.
In the dim light of the party, Charlize looked at Hugo's star-like eyes for a while, which made Hugo a little puzzled, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with his eyes, " Is there something wrong?" Charlize's heartbeat slowed down slightly, then she sketched a smile, shook her head, then naturally lowered her head and began to drink water, concealing the fluctuations in her eyes, letting the dense water vapor Stinging eyes relax.
"You're all gone, isn't the party okay?" Leonardo said with some worry and some jokes. Tonight, there are really too many temptations. Confused, but Leonardo still chose to attend, because he knew that he could not escape for a lifetime, otherwise his dream of being an actor would come to an end.
However, when he came to the party scene, Leonardo was at a loss again. Facing the dense crowd, his first action was to drink, trying to use alcohol to anesthetize himself, and then drunk. By the time he realized it, he was already half drunk, holding the last bit of reason left, Leonardo hid in a corner, trying to calm himself down.
But Leonardo hadn't fully woken up yet, and then he, Charlize, and Hugo hid in this corner.
Hugo noticed Charlize's uncomfortable expression, but before he had time to investigate, Charlize lowered his head, and then Leonardo's words attracted Hugo's attention, he turned his head and looked over, "Hehe, it's okay , the most important protagonist of the night is neither me nor Charlize, you can barely count half of them, but as long as the king of the world stays at the scene, I believe there will be no problem."
The phrase "king of the world" made both Charlize and Leonardo laugh unkindly, especially Leonardo who participated in the whole process of "Titanic" laughed the most happily, leaning forward and backward turn.
"I thought, we should be able to sneak away now, and the paparazzi will rush up after a while." Hugo looked back at the still lively party scene, and let out a long breath of sulk—something tonight His brain is too much, he just feels extremely tired now, and he is a little reluctant to think, just wants to get out of here to breathe some fresh air, "I plan to visit Ernst at Sunset Square—I hope he is still alive at this time." have not slept."
Charlize rolled his eyes, "I bet he'll give you a basin of water to wash your feet." It was already past twelve o'clock at midnight, and Ernst always went to bed early, so it would be natural to disturb him at this time. Seeking death.
Hugo shrugged, "I'll bring my raincoat." Then he looked back and forth between Leonardo and Charlize, "Are you planning to join me?"
Leonardo immediately raised his hands, "I'll go, I'll go!" But the result was too much force, the whole body began to shake, almost fell down, it can be seen that his wine is still not fully Awake.
Charlize was about to blurt out her promise, but she raised her head and took a deep look at Hugo, then lowered her gaze and twitched the corners of her mouth, "No, I'd better go back to sleep first, I really don't feel well." After a pause, Charlize adjusted her breathing, as if everything had returned to normal, "You can take me back to the apartment on the way, and then go to Sunset Square."
They are friends, just friends.
Hugo didn't notice Charlize's abnormality, or to be more precise, he felt Charlize's abnormality, but thought that Charlize was just not feeling well, "Okay, no problem. I think we should secretly I left, I always felt that when Leo came to look for me just now, a reporter saw it, and we had better leave quickly before arousing his further suspicion."
After finishing speaking, Hugo stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Charlize. Charlize looked at the bony palm in front of her, the familiar lines outlined a faint shadow under the dim light, which made her heart pause for a moment, and she couldn't help but hold her breath, and then said His right hand was placed in Hugo's palm—the familiar temperature, familiar touch, and familiar smell, but it made Charlize feel different.
With the strength of Hugo's right hand, Charlize stood up, then let go of Hugo's hand, and quietly put it by her side.
Hugo didn't think too much, and then patted Leonardo on the shoulder, "Come on, we will lead the way, Charlize, follow behind." Then he followed Leonardo, trying to walk away calmly Keep pace and try to avoid any special movements that attract the attention of others.
Hugo's back outlines an undulating arc under the light, just like the undulating curve in an ink painting. His heart paused slightly again. Charlize lowered his eyes, let out a long breath, and quickly followed up.
After leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel, Hugo quickly got rid of the paparazzi's stalking, "Are you sure you can't go to Sunset Plaza?" Hugo asked again.
Charlize shook her head, "Take me to say hello to Ernst—if you can see him." After finishing speaking, Charlize smiled and turned to look at Hugo who was sitting in the driver's seat , I was taken aback, she actually forgot how they usually said goodbye, was it a hug? shake hands? Or a face-to-face gift?
A short-circuit in the brain made Charlize silent for a second or two, and there was a moment of silence in the carriage. Hugo cast his gaze in confusion, and Charlize quickly looked away as if his chest had been burned. , Then she remembered: They usually say goodbye without any special gestures at all, just waving their hands is considered goodbye, and today should be no exception.
Charlize opened the car door directly, and the "bang" sound broke the silence, "I'm leaving." Charlize waved his hand directly, and then got out of the car. Although she tried to stay calm and tried to walk back to the apartment at a normal pace, she couldn't help but start to speed up, as if... she was running away.
Hugo looked at the back of Charlize who was leaving quickly, and soon disappeared into the apartment building on the first floor. Hugo noticed the abnormality, but couldn't tell why. Tonight, too much information was really stuffed into his brain, and now his whole body is exhausted physically and mentally. After thinking about it seriously, he found that he didn't have any clue at all.
Sighing lightly, Hugo withdrew his gaze. Without thinking about it, he started the engine again and drove in the direction of Sunset Square.
When he arrived at the destination, Hugo found that Leonardo had fallen asleep, which made Hugo laugh, and patted Leonardo's cheek lightly, "Are you sure you want to go up with me?"
Leonardo sat up immediately, "Go, of course." Those blank eyes showed that he didn't seem to know where he was going at all, but he still insisted on his own opinion, which made Hugo sigh laughed. Hearing this voice, Leonardo finally came to his senses. After looking around, he realized where this place was, and his spirit returned, "It's been a long time since I came back here, it feels really kind .”
Leonardo opened the car door first and walked down. Hugo turned off the engine immediately, then got out of the car, and followed Leonardo along the unfamiliar but familiar alley and began to go up the hill.
It was past one o'clock in the morning, and the entire Sunset Square was surrounded by silence, which was in stark contrast to the bustling party. But this silence has an indescribable beauty, which calms down all the irritability and anxiety, and it seems that the whole world is brightened—at one o'clock in the morning.
Climbing up the stairs, Hugo and Leonardo didn't speak, they just walked quietly. The sound of the soles of their feet rubbing against the gravel was the only sound in the whole world, but it made the two people's footsteps slower and slower , The tense shoulders gradually relaxed. When he walked in front of the familiar apartment building, Leonardo who was walking in front suddenly stopped, which caught Hugo who was following him by surprise, and said aloud, "What's wrong?"
In an instant, the silence of the peaceful night was broken, and the moonlight entering the water rippled.
Leonardo looked back at Hugo, his face full of surprise, but Hugo still didn't understand, and was about to step forward to have a look, when he heard a deep and hoarse voice from the front of the apartment building, "Because He saw me and thought he saw a ghost." This voice...is it Ernst?
Hugo walked up the steps, stood beside Leonardo, and then saw Ernst sitting under the big tree at the door. He lit a cigarette in his hand, and the curling smoke was slowly rising. There is not even a bit of majesty around, and the smoke is straight and straight, with a kind of indifferent and peaceful Zen.
"At this time, everyone is either having a carnival or sleeping. Why did you suddenly come here?"
