Chapter 584 Chapter 584

Finally got a day off, Alex had a job and went out, Charlize went on vacation to Malibu, and Hugo was the only one left at home, so he moved all his vinyl records out, a People sit cross-legged on the carpet in the hall, tidying up, and put their favorite records on the gramophone, feeling the comfort and beauty of the music flowing slowly in the sun.

Although Hugo has only been in Los Angeles for two years, he has collected nearly 300 vinyl records, most of which are out-of-print records that cannot be found in the 21st century, but were easily acquired in the early 1990s can be found. In fact, now vinyl records have entered the late stage of development, and a few people who really love music will start to collect vinyl records.

Fortunately, Sunset Boulevard is one of the most concentrated old record streets in the United States. In those dilapidated, narrow and shabby record stores on Sunset Boulevard, many classic old records can often be found. Last time Hugo was in one of them. Found this "With. A. Girl. Like. You" in a record store that could close One, from the British band The. Troggs, released in 1966.

Admiring the melodious musical symbols flowing and jumping slowly in the sunlight, time seems to be slowly reversed in the propaganda of vinyl records. Almost everyone has a nostalgic feeling, not only because they miss the past years, but also because they are curious about everything that happened in that era, like traveling through time and space, which is a wonderful feeling.

Hugo carefully found every vinyl record, and then carefully wiped and cared for it. From time to time, he found a vinyl record to play, and even danced with the music when he was excited. Hugo was not A person who can dance, but he is willing to use a clumsy gesture to sway to the music. Compared with "dancing", Hugo is more willing to use the words "body beats the rhythm" to interpret his behavior. Unconsciously, the corners of the mouth will outline a brisk and beautiful arc.

Time passed in the slowly turning vinyl record, the sunlight seemed to be absorbed into the gramophone along with the rotation of the vinyl record, and the night fell like this, Hugo ordered takeout, still reluctant to part. Sorting out his vinyl records.

Hugo found that the more things were organized, the more chaotic things became, because every vinyl record he wanted to put out and listen to. Although he had collected so many vinyl records, he didn't really have the time to be quiet and listen to it. How many, it is rare to have such an opportunity, Hugo's whole person is intoxicated.

When Hugo noticed, the muscles all over his body were stiff and sore, and he realized that it was past midnight before he knew it, but Alex did not come back, nor did Charlize come back. Thinking about it carefully, Carl didn't show up either. It's estimated that his work and Alex's work are not over yet, and Charlize should be spending the night in Malibu.

overnight. Hugo thought about it carefully, then let out a long breath. Looking at the vinyl records scattered all over the floor, he stood up carefully and walked to the edge of the sofa, but the sofa was also covered with a lot of vinyl records. Occupy, Hugo realized that he seemed to have opened Pandora's Box today.

Hugo touched his stomach, opened the pizza box on the coffee table, found a piece and put it in his mouth, turned on the radio, and walked to the kitchen to make coffee. When he came back to the lobby, the radio was actually reporting the recent incident of young women being victimized. It seems that this case has caused a lot of panic in Los Angeles. It is already past midnight, so the radio programs are all telling people to go home in the middle of the night. young women.

"There have been consecutive robbery, rape, and murder cases against young women recently. The police confirmed the portrait characteristics of the suspect. He is 6 feet 3 inches (1 meter 92) tall, with a medium build, wearing a black overalls jacket. A white man of about thirty-five years old, armed with a dagger..."

This suspect is really tall and big, and he specifically targets women who are single, no wonder he has succeeded many times. Hugo was biting on the pizza, thinking the news on the radio was such a disappointment, he walked over and turned off the radio, then rummaged around, first wiped his hands with a tissue, and then put the vinyl in On the radio, sit back on the sofa and start enjoying your own dinner.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, there were sporadic drunken voices, and Hugo inexplicably thought of Charlize. If Charlize didn't stay overnight in Malibu tonight and came back now... Hugo's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic Rhythm, he shook his head and threw all the rambling thoughts out of his mind, it was already past midnight, Charlize must have spent the night in Malibu, and, even if she were to come back, with the manners of Mr. Perfect Stewart, Will definitely escort Charlize back.

Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth, mocking his own carelessness, and then started nibbling on pizza again.

Charlize was walking home dejectedly at this time. The date in Malibu was very happy all day, but I don't know if it was because I was worried that I would spend the night here. Charlize was always a little absent-minded, but Stewart However, his performance was as excellent and gentle as always, which made Charlize also have some dissatisfaction with himself, and finally persuaded himself to devote himself to the afternoon sunbathing.

But the ones who should have come after dinner are still here, Stewart asked tentatively, "It's very traffic jam going back to the city, why don't we go to the bar and take a seat, let's go back after the rush hour."

Charlize had no reason to refuse, although she was still a little uneasy, because Stuart's actions were said by Hugo, but Charlize convinced herself that even if Hugo was right, there was nothing wrong with it, she and Stuart had already dated Seven times, and while Stewart has been doing well, it's time to let it go. So, Charlize nodded.

After that, things really proceeded according to the established script. We had a pleasant conversation at the bar, and then went to the ballroom to enjoy it. When they finished the evening entertainment, it was only a quarter of an hour before twelve o'clock. Naturally, Stewart proposed. Ideas for a night in Malibu. Charlize hesitated, then nodded in agreement.

Since Malibu is originally a resort, there are places suitable for rest everywhere. Stewart chose a retreat hotel that can do massage and sauna. It can be seen that he spent a lot of thought and also considered Charlize's feelings. , instead of just picking a motel and solving it.

It's all perfect, including Stewart, who is always a gentleman and does a good job, but Charlize is always a little uneasy, she's disappointed in herself, and she doesn't understand what happened to herself, why she faced such a perfect date Objects have to pick and choose. No, to be precise, she wasn't picky, but she always felt something was wrong.

Inexplicably, Hugo's phrase "Mr. Perfect" entered Charlize's mind, and then it began to loop and loop again and again. Maybe it's because Stuart is too perfect, so Charlize hesitates, because it's all too fairy tale, but Charlize never believes in fairy tales, but is this also a reason? If you count, that's the worst reason in the world to hold back because the date is so perfect, "Oh, God," Charlize feels like his head is going to explode.

Standing in the lobby of the hotel, Charlize flinched, she found an excuse to hold back, "Oops, I forgot to have a job tomorrow, I'm really sorry, I think we should go back tonight, maybe we can come back another day. vacation."

Stuart didn't say much, but after earnestly asking Charlize's opinion, he agreed with Charlize's statement. Stuart's gentleness and patience made Charlize even more guilty. She couldn't believe that she rejected such a perfect man and ruined such a perfect afternoon just because of Hugo's stupid words.

Stewart drove Charlize to Sunset Plaza, although Stewart insisted on sending Charlize home, but Charlize refused, she needed a little personal space, and she needed to calm down before going home to face Hugo. Stewart eventually relented, and Charlize watched Stewart drive away.

Now, Charlize is walking in the direction of home. It is necessary to climb the slope from Sunset Plaza to where they live, and there are small alleys everywhere. Although there are street lights along the way, it is indeed relatively quiet and suitable for calm thinking.

"God, what the hell is wrong with me, Stu is really good and I really like him, don't I? But why? I'm so bad and horrible. 'There's still work tomorrow', heck god, still Is there a worse excuse than this?" Charlize patted his head, disappointed in himself.

Charlize really doesn't know what's going on. Maybe, at this time, she needs a best friend, not a good friend like Hugo, but a female best friend. She can express her heart to her heart's content. Charlize suddenly misses working hard in Paris. Tyra Banks.

But at this moment, Charlize noticed something strange. It was past 12:30, the Sunset Plaza was completely quiet, all the surrounding shops were closed, and not even a single person could be seen, but she There was a tall and strong man following behind him.

Charlize noticed him from the very beginning. She originally thought it was someone who lived nearby. After all, there are many third-tier actors living nearby, but Charlize felt something was wrong, because she was sorting out her messy thoughts, so her head didn't Clear, stop and go, the pace seems to be very slow, but the man behind him actually does the same, it looks like he is following her... Follow?

Charlize's heartbeat immediately began to speed up, she secretly glanced back, and found that the man stopped immediately, and then crouched down as if he was tying shoelaces, but this made Charlize's heart mention it in an instant Throat, this is not normal, this is so abnormal.

Charlize wanted to calm down, but found that her breathing was a little messy at this time. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and planned to call for help. Calling 911 would not be able to quench her thirst, so it was a phone call. Looking for Stewart, who just drove away, or Hugo, who is now at home on the phone?

God. Charlize didn't have time to think any more, and she dialed Stewart's number immediately.
