Chapter 589 589 Sanctuary
Looking at Charlize who was shivering in his arms, Hugo suddenly understood why Charlize usually protected himself like a tomboy, and why was Charlize shivering with fear when facing that fierce man just now Trembling, why is Stewart perfect like a fairy tale but Charlize can't believe it...
Hugo hugged Charlize like this, hugged tightly, the damn nicotine made his lungs start to swell and his skin started to itch, but Hugo didn't care, he just knew that at this moment, Charlie I need him. Hugo tapped Charlize on the back with his own hands, trying to calm her down.
Charlize did gradually quiet down, she leaned against Hugo's firm chest, and said slowly, "That's really scary, really, you know?"
Hugo rested his chin on Charlize's head and shook his head gently, "No, I don't know." This quieted Charlize, "Sweetheart, I've never experienced anything like this, and I never will. Knowing how terrible that was, I'll never know how much it affected you, those words that say 'I know, I understand' are all lies, all lies." Hugo whispered arrive.
Although Hugo knew that he could say some comforting words to calm Charlize down at this time, he didn't want this, because it was a setback in Charlize's own heart. Charlize toughened up and put that piece of history in the past forever and ever.
"But I know how strong you are now; I also know how good you are now." Hugo said seriously, "I think Jerda should be proud of you now, this is your greatest Achievement. So, you've done well, you've been doing well, and all you need now is to keep going strong, because the past is over, and no matter how horrible the past is, it can't affect you anymore , as long as you are firm enough, it is no longer scary."
Listening to Hugo's words, Charlize's irritable mood settled down like this, and calmed down slowly. Once, Charlize thought that she didn't care about that matter for a long time, and she had really moved forward, but until today, Charlize knew that she cared, she cared very much, that's why she lied that Charles died in a car accident. But now, she knows that she can move on, that memory is still scary and still a nightmare, but she knows that she can no longer be afraid.
Close your eyes, and the faint warmth that wraps yourself makes the cold in your heart dispel little by little. Charlize is a little greedy for this kind of warmth, his muscles relax little by little, and the faint scent of soap under his nose is dry and comfortable, the world It gradually became quiet in this way, and this moment of tranquility made Charlize want to stay forever.
Charlize raised her head from Hugo's arms and looked at Hugo's amber eyes. The sound of her heartbeat gradually became clearer. Her eyes were locked on Hugo's lips and could not be moved away. There was a light stubble on her chin, and the hard stubble made her lips look so soft, making her want to get closer, and closer.
But at this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang again, and the shout of "Tingle Bell" viciously ripped apart the silence in the hall. Both Hugo and Charlize suddenly leaned back, The distance from each other was far apart, and then they sat on both ends of the sofa.
Hugo coughed violently, then shook his head vigorously at Charlize, and pointed to the cigarette butt in her hand. Charlize immediately realized that Hugo was allergic to nicotine, so he quickly put out the cigarette butt. This little episode brought the consciousness of both people back to a normal state.
Charlize quickly picked up the phone, "Hey, Charlize is talking. Oh...you're home, okay, fine..." Charlize wiped the tears from her cheeks, trying to hide her embarrassment just now, " What? Wow, that could not be better, thank God, hope it ends here..." It appeared to be Stewart's call, Charlize walked towards the bathroom, Hugo moved away his sight.
After the two of them said good night, Charlize walked back with the phone, shrugged, "It's Stu." Then he paused and thought for a while, "Oh, by the way, he said, just now the police. A suspect was arrested, most likely the one around here just now."
"Wow, this is really good news, it would be great if it was the criminal." Hugo immediately responded, which was indeed good news, "This time the Los Angeles police finally did something right." Hugo sarcastically said that he was satirizing the recent Michael Jackson incident. The Los Angeles police made too many mistakes, but unfortunately Charlize didn't hear it at this time, which made Hugo a little embarrassed.
Hugo thought for a while, "Uh, you know, Mr. Perfect is a good man, that's a fact." Hugo shifted the topic to the person Charlize had just called, but after he said it, he felt that his brain was flooded. But now that he has spoken, Hugo still intends to continue, otherwise it will only be more strange to be stuck in half, "Maybe, life is indeed not a fairy tale, but at least we should try it before we know it, right? If we don't try, we will never You won't know the outcome."
Charlize twitched the corners of his mouth at Hugo, let out a long sigh of relief, and nodded vaguely, "Maybe, maybe so."
After speaking, the two fell into silence, but at this time it was obviously much better than before, and there was no longer any embarrassment between the two. Charlize avoided Hugo's line of sight freely, saw the vinyl records all over the hall, a mess, and then sighed, "It seems that you really had a crazy day today."
Hugo also laughed twice, "Yeah, you always have to relax completely on rest days."
Charlize saw the vinyl record on the ground, the water stains on it had dried up, which reminded Charlize that Hugo rushed out desperately in order to save himself, even his most cherished vinyl record had no time Taking it into account, you must know that Hugo usually treats these as treasures. "Sorry, I don't know if these records are damaged."
Hugo only noticed his vinyl records at this time, but he waved his hand generously, "It's okay, they are not so easily damaged, I will take care of them."
Then Hugo bent down to collect the scattered vinyl records. Charlize also quickly bent down, "I'll help you."
Charlize helped pack up the vinyl record, paying special attention to the vinyl record that still had water stains on it. When she picked it up, she realized that the vinyl record in her hand had actually broken, and she looked at Hugo with an apologetic expression. , "I'm really sorry, it's all because of me."
Hugo looked at the vinyl record in Charlize's hand, and his face suddenly hurt, he took the record and looked regretful, but he still shook his head, "Can't blame you, this is my choice. You know, vinyl records can be collected again, but we don't want to do it again in times of danger."
Charlize twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes fell on the vinyl record. Hugo was still stroking the vinyl record in his hand regretfully, and it could be seen that he was very sad.
Charlize took a moment to notice the name of the vinyl record. It was a Bob Dylan record, and it was called "Shelter. From. The. Storm" - a place of shelter in the storm, although Charlize doesn't know the song, but looking at this vinyl record, Charlize has some trance.
"Hey, man, hurry up, I still have work tomorrow." Hugo said with a chuckle, raising the vinyl record in his hand and shaking it gently in front of Charlize's eyes, making Charlize pull it back thoughts.
Charlize noticed that Hugo still carefully put away the vinyl record "Storm Shelter" and did not throw it away.
Then, the two quickly packed up everything, Hugo all moved back to the room, and Charlize found time to go to the bathroom to take care of himself.
Hugo returned to his room. Although the time was tight, he carefully put all the vinyl records on his bookshelf according to the chronological order. When he was finished, Hugo noticed that Charlize had not yet. Get out of the bathroom.
Although Charlize usually occupies the bathroom for a long time, today is a little different. Hugo knew that Charlize needed a hot bath to relax, but at this time Charlize had been in for almost half an hour, which made Hugo He couldn't help but be a little worried. He stood at the door of his room and looked at the bathroom for a while. The sound of the shower head showering was sparsely heard, but there was no other sound.
Hugo let out a long sigh and frowned again. He really didn't know what to do in the face of such a situation. Anyone who has experienced such a terrible thing, even death is only ten yards away. Hugo did not know what kind of mood that was. But this reminded Hugo of the situation when Zhang Xiaoye died.
Zhang Xiaoye was smoking because of it. The overdose was lying on the cold floor like this, enjoying the extreme excitement and happiness. Hugo sat beside him at a loss, but suddenly, Zhang Xiaoye began to twitch, which frightened Hugo, and then Zhang Xiaoye was like this Grabbed Hugo's wrist and held it tightly.
Zhang Xiaoye seemed to know that his deadline was coming, and began to cry in pain. He buried his head beside Hugo's knee and cried, but at the same time his face began to twist with extreme happiness. Hugo didn't remember what Zhang Xiaoye said. He didn't even remember how long the whole process took. It seemed like an instant or a century, but Hugo clearly remembered that Zhang Xiaoye was poisonous. The eyes that had lost their focus suddenly regained their strength, and those eyes accurately told Hugo: I don't want to die.
But after that, Zhang Xiaoye left forever, Hugo could even feel that the body in front of him became cold little by little, and all the signs of life slowly dissipated like a low tide. That kind of fear, like drowning, all struggles are useless, just sink, keep sinking, and then get colder and colder.
Hugo shuddered suddenly, looked at the bathroom in fear, and fell silent after listening to the patter of water.
