Chapter 251 251
Charlize immediately got to the core of the problem, what is the reason for Hugo's sadness and sadness, is it because of the passing of this relationship, or because Uma is unwilling to fight for this relationship, or because of Hugo's trust No response from Uma.
Hugo froze in place, feeling a little chilly, and couldn't help shivering, "Maybe both." Hugo said softly.
Perhaps at the very beginning, when Hugo learned that Uma became the heroine of the "Sugar-Coated Trap", Hugo felt betrayal for the first time. Joseph reminded him, and Charlize also hinted at him, but he did not pay attention to it. He chose to believe in Uma, so when he knew that the so-called belief was just wishful thinking, the first thing he felt was betrayal. He gave Uma a chance to explain, but he didn't want to believe that his trust was worthless.
But when Uma gave up the opportunity to defend herself, when Uma gave up the opportunity to fight for this relationship, Hugo's inner feelings may not even be clear to him. At that moment, he even began to doubt Are your emotions real, and is everything just an illusion in the past few months?
There was a moment when Hugo remembered what Anthony said about Uma. Was Uma really using him as a stepping stone to her career? Immediately Hugo himself denied this idea, because when Uma was with him before, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" has not yet been released, no one is optimistic about Hugo, and naturally there is no stepping stone; but then Hugo started again. Doubt, Uma and her real date started from the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", maybe Uma began to plan from then...
After a crack in trust occurs, all doubts will be revealed, and details that were not doubtful will become seeds of doubt.
Hugo had to stop his wild thoughts, so much so that he began to doubt the veracity of the relationship. Therefore, Hugo slept groggyly from morning to midnight. In fact, Hugo did not really fall asleep at all. The struggle in the half-dream and half-awake made him suffer, and his spirit was weakened as if he might collapse at any time. .
Trust is never easy, and this is also the scary part of betrayal, because once you trust, when you encounter betrayal, you will face the collapse of your entire world. Hugo is in such a stage now that he doesn't even have a way to judge his emotions in the past.
Charlize looked at the fragility on Hugo's face, the fragility that would shatter when touched, cast a faint reflection in the moonlight. Charlize stretched out her fingers involuntarily, wanting to touch the projection on the ground, but she immediately shrank back in fear, she seemed to see the reflection trembling, she was worried about her slight touch, it was like Castles made of sand will collapse.
"However," Hugo was silent for a long time, his slightly hoarse voice disturbed the quiet moonlight, rippled in circles, and Charlize couldn't help shivering, "Does the reason really matter? Human? Feelings are inherently complex, and there is no way to distinguish them. Whatever the reason, the result is clear, she left the key, not even a chance."
Uma went so resolutely, she did not retain this relationship, and at the same time cut off Hugo's chance to retain this relationship, such a result is too cruel. Not to mention Hugo, even Charlize doubts, did the relationship between Uma and Hugo really exist?
"Maybe I just like her now, maybe I love her deep in my heart, I... I just need a while to get closer to her step by step. I'm working hard, maybe, she's working hard too, just... "Hugo said in a disorderly manner, "Maybe she chose to give up this relationship not because she didn't want to fight for it, but just like she said, between love and career, she chose the latter... Or, she didn't want to. Believe me, it's just that the situation at the time gave her too few choices..."
After Hugo said a lot, he finally stopped weakly, "But why didn't she explain." These are all guesses by Hugo, but Hugo has no clue about Uma's true thoughts. She was offered an opportunity to explain, but she declined. There is no doubt that any relationship will be difficult to continue without communication.
"Perhaps, she doesn't want to explain, because she doesn't want to continue." Charlize said while looking at Hugo's blank eyes, this sentence completely relaxed Hugo's tense shoulders, which was the root cause. Hugo knew this, he always knew it, so even Hugo, who never gave up, didn't make any struggles after letting Uma leave, not because he didn't like Uma enough, but because he realized it. What Uma really thinks: She doesn't want to go on.
When Uma put the key in the glass bowl, that crisp sound may be the last period of this relationship.
Hugo lowered his eyes in despair, "I just need a little time to figure it out, a little time."
Hugo didn't say what he wanted to figure out, maybe he wanted to figure out what happened, maybe he wanted to understand how deep his feelings for Uma were, maybe he wanted to figure out how to get out of this predicament... But Charlie I know that now Hugo has no way to think normally, and the cracks in trust have left him so bruised and bruised that he has no way to think at all.
Charlize fell silent, she didn't know what to say, because as a friend, she said everything she could say, and the rest was for Hugo to figure it out on his own, and there was nothing she could do. Accompanying Hugo through this period of time may be what she should do as a friend.
"So, do you want to drink?" Charlize changed the subject and said casually, "There's still a lot of beer in the fridge and a bottle of red wine in the cupboard, I remember."
Hugo let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples again, "Can you give me a beer if you can? Thank you." He left with a headache, and his knees seemed to start to ache again , the damn weather.
Before, Hugo had always been glad that he was in Los Angeles. After that, it was dry and less rainy, and the chance of snowfall was very low. The rainfall throughout the year was even less. It was said that the rainfall in Los Angeles was basically concentrated in winter, but today Winter was clearly a sunny season, which kept Hugo's knees out of trouble. But tonight, the pain in this knee really took all his strength away, and he didn't even have much strength left to grieve.
Charlize brought two bottles of beer, handed a bottle to Hugo, and sat down on the sofa again. She saw a few pages of paper scattered on the table, with large paragraphs of text written in pencil on it, so she pointed to , "What is this, can I see it?"
Hugo took a sip of beer, shrugged and said it didn't matter, and then closed his eyes. He felt very tired, sleepy and tired now, but he couldn't sleep. His eyes were obviously sore and sore, but he just couldn't get in. dreamland. Hugo didn't know whether it was because he had been half-awake for too long, or because the pain in his knees and head had been irritating his nerves.
Charlize picked up the paper and found that it was actually a receipt from the supermarket. Hugo wrote a paragraph on the back of the receipt, like a diary and a poem, but Charlize guessed that it should be a song.
"The departed wandering spirit left the aftertaste of perfume on the pillow, in a room without the slightest light, I lost sleep... When you are by my side (When. You. Are. Near. Me), when you are here I am I rediscovered myself and found myself.”
The sadness and grief between the lines jumped out on the paper, which made Charlize glance at Hugo, who still closed his eyes, rubbing his temples, and then looked at the lyrics, Charlize noticed, "When you're with me Around", Hugo used the word "Near" to indicate the vicinity, rather than other prepositions that are closer It's enough to be close to yourself.
And more importantly, Hugo used the present tense when he wrote the sentence "When you were by my side", not the past tense, which means that when Hugo recorded these words, it was not a memory of A mourning, but a calling.
Instead of commemorating a lost love, Hugo is calling for Uma's response.
When Charlize realized this, she was hit in an instant. Perhaps in the depths of Hugo's subconscious, it was not Uma's betrayal or the passing of his feelings that he was saddened by, but Uma's abandonment. Without any struggle, without making a fuss, without trying to explain, just gave up so easily. This kind of abandonment made Hugo unable to believe Uma's feelings for him, and also made Hugo unable to believe everything in the past of this relationship, and made Hugo doubt whether his trust was worthless.
Charlize closed his eyes in a panic and lowered his head quickly, lest Hugo see his embarrassment. It was not until this moment that Charlize knew how painful Hugo was in front of him. The paleness on the surface made it impossible to see the pain and struggle in his heart. Perhaps the bottom of Hugo's heart was already bloody and scarred. But there is no cure.
Charlize opened his eyes again and looked at Hugo with his eyes closed in front of him. Hugo seemed to be asleep without much movement, which allowed Charlize to carefully look at the man in front of him.
In fact, Charlize has never really looked at him carefully, but at a glance, he knows that this is a handsome man, and the attractiveness of his temperament even surpasses the feeling brought by his appearance and facial features, but after a closer look However, Charlize found that Hugo's eyebrows, which were outlined in ink bit by bit, were so delicate, like an ancient ink painting, extending gently and fragilely under the moonlight.
The slightly tangled eyebrows made people want to smooth it out and tell him that everything will be fine.
Suddenly, Hugo's eyes opened, and those clear amber eyes slammed into Charlize's line of sight. Those eyes that were like the mist in the mountains in the morning seemed like a drop of light ink fell into the clear water. There were waves of ripples, which made her avert her eyes at a loss, and her heart was beating so fast that she almost thought she was about to suffocate.
