Chapter 612: 612
"A lot of things have changed, but some things will never change." This is Hugo-style rejection, gentle and polite, but meaningful.
On the surface, Hugo was discussing dancing. After a year, Hugo's dance still did not improve. But when this sentence was spoken in front of Uma, it obviously had another meaning: New Year's Eve. Things have passed, the relationship between the two of them has changed dramatically, and the things Uma did at the beginning will not go away.
Uma heard the deep meaning in Hugo's words, she only felt her heart shrank suddenly, and the step forward was paused like this, she looked at Hugo in front of her, the same, but not the same.
The same is the gentle smile, with the youthful youth and the gentleness of a gentleman; the difference is that he sees his estrangement. There is only one step between the two at this time, but Uma feels that she will never be able to touch her. When I meet Hugo, this distance is a natural moat.
In the vicissitudes of life, things are different. A lot of times, this is life, the harsh and cold reality. This reminds Uma of the morning after the Golden Globes event, when she turned away so cruelly and coldly, without any attachment; and today, Hugo is smiling, smiling gently, but the look in his eyes The smile pierced her heart.
At this moment, Uma really realized what she had missed, not only her career, not just love, but also this man who has been in the entertainment industry for ten years but still maintains a pure heart. Regret, this emotion drowned her in an instant like a tsunami, leaving her unable to breathe.
Uma stopped and took another step forward. The Hugo in front of her was like a driftwood, which was her only hope of survival. She had to hug the driftwood tightly, but she found that the rain Guo stepped back a bit, then politely stretched out his hands to support Uma's arms, and said with a smile, "Be careful, don't fall."
Although this is a word of concern, it is clear that the alienation in Hugo's eyes has once again erected a wall, and the distance in Uma's eyes has obviously narrowed, but he feels that Hugo is getting farther and farther, which makes Uma. A little flustered, "Hugo, I'm sorry, I was dizzy at first, and then I made the wrong choice..."
After saying this sentence, Uma saw Hugo frown slightly, and then said seriously, "I thought we had talked about this, the past is over, and we are working together now. A work, that's all, you don't have to mention those things again."
Hugo doesn't like the look in Uma's eyes now, because this look is too familiar and too unfamiliar. He can see Uma's earnest desire, but it's not the look he expects. For Hugo, that The relationship has long since ended, and he can now face Uma calmly, because he knows that he has come to an end, there is no love or hate. Therefore, Hugo is reluctant to mix other emotions in the workplace, which will make the cooperation between the two more complicated.
But Uma looked at Hugo's slightly frowning brows, all calm, all determination and all firmness were shattered, she looked at Hugo in such despair, and said with a face of regret, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry, at the beginning... I just thought my career was the most important thing, I just thought it would be the most important opportunity in my acting career... I don't know what happened to me, so I betrayed your trust and made it I'm sorry for hurting your choice, sorry..."
"No, you don't need to apologize, you just made a choice that suits your inner needs." Hugo looked at the tears that fell from Uma's eyes, but had no pity, but felt a little ridiculous. When the two broke up, Uma turned and left so indifferently and decisively, without even a single word of quarrel, and Hugo waited until today to see Uma's tears, which... it was too late . "Uma, you always know what you want, and then you will try your best to get it, even if you don't compromise, this is you, the most real you. Remember what you said to me? That relationship There is no so-called true or false, everything is true, but when love and career conflict and you need to make a choice, you choose a career, that's all, this is you, there is no confusion, no hesitation, more No apology."
But Uma had completely collapsed at this time. Her tears were like a flood that burst a dyke, and she was completely released. She grabbed Hugo's sleeve tightly and said pleadingly, "I'm sorry, Hugo, really I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done those things behind your back, I shouldn't have stepped in knowing that it was a trap against you, I shouldn't have kept everything from you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I love you , we can start over, I love you, I really love you..."
Uma couldn't listen to any of Hugo's words at all, she was just immersed in her own emotions, crying frantically and paranoidly, the loud music around was still noisy, and the crew members were still dancing happily. , this is like two completely different worlds, making Uma's embarrassment look even more desolate.
Those who don't know the inside story will definitely sympathize with Uma, thinking that Hugo is hard-hearted, just bullying Uma, and even come over to intervene and say "people have already apologized, you should forgive her" and so on; the truth; On, Hugo is indeed a little soft-hearted at this time. No matter what happened in the past, Uma is crying like a child in front of the big audience at the moment, which still touches the soft part of Hugo's heart.
But after so many ups and downs and hardships, Hugo has matured. He is no longer the child who naively believed that "love can change everything". The cruelty of society tells him with bloody reality: grow up, the world It will never be as white and flawless as in fairy tales. In fact, this lesson was precisely given to him by Professor Uma in front of him.
Therefore, Hugo knew that if Uma was willing to cry, quarrel, and fight when they broke up, maybe everything will turn around, but there is no "if", and now that time has changed, Uma's plea can win sympathy in Hugo's heart , but could not shake Hugo's heart.
"It's too late, you know, your apology is too late." Hugo's tone was unavoidable. He didn't want to discuss the days after breaking up with Uma. He was always thinking about why Uma didn't fight for it. Justified, but now, Hugo didn't want to say more, all his thoughts turned into this sentence, "It's too late."
Uma looked at Hugo with tears all over her face and stood there in a daze. She didn't seem to understand Hugo's words, so she could only murmur, "Why, why... Could it be? Can't we start all over again? You see, aren't we all fine now? We still get along very well..."
Hugo looked at Uma in front of him, and suddenly he was speechless. He couldn't understand the sudden change in Uma, or to be more precise, he couldn't understand why Uma didn't do anything before, but recently it suddenly happened... "Recently ?" A thought flashed through Hugo's mind.
Uma's actions seem to have started from the reporter's interview about Joseph not long ago, and after that, Uma has made goodwill to herself two or three times. Why is this timing? Hugo was no longer the Hugo he was a year ago. He quickly realized that at that time it happened to be "Schindler's List". The rumors have been controlled, and the public opinion is tilted towards the direction of the crew; The music debate has also reached its peak, but the supporters' remarks are not small...
Thinking of this, Hugo looked carefully at Uma again, her translucent eyes flashed with tears, the look in the depths of her eyes had a strong desire, and she looked at herself deeply and firmly... But Hugo was in Behind that firmness, she saw her relentless ruthlessness. This ruthlessness reminded Hugo of the moment when Uma stood in front of him and spread everything out.
"Do you want me to help with something? Or do you want to hype the news again?" Hugo calmed down and asked gently, but this sentence turned all of Uma's emotions into a ruthless one. It was interrupted fiercely, leaving Uma standing there dumbfounded.
Uma found that she wanted to defend herself, but couldn't say a word. Indeed, she really wanted to use Hugo's power for something, and she had been planning since she took the film "Pulp Fiction". Now Hugo can be said to be a high-speed train. She can go to the sky in one step, she doesn't want to miss it, so she has been planning step by step, she knows that Hugo is a kind-hearted person, and the warm and sunny taste in him is the most direct manifestation of personality charm, she believes that Hugo will Impressed by his "performance".
But things have gone a little wrong. Uma found that she really didn't seem to forget Hugo. She missed Hugo's tenderness and thoughtfulness, and she missed Hugo's care and sweetness. She really wanted to be able to be with Hugo. restart.
When love and career were entangled again, Uma found that things were out of control. Not only did Hugo discover her purpose, but she could not say anything in the face of Hugo's questioning. As a result, Uma could only stand there stupidly, with tears in her eyes that didn't dry up, which made her look like a joke.
Seeing Uma's dull expression, Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. He saw the answer he wanted in those eyes. Although Uma didn't say anything, even the expression was still pear blossom and rain. Chu Chu was pitiful, but Hugo saw the answer in those eyes that he was once very familiar with. This made Hugo a little angry, but it was more ridiculous. He couldn't believe that Uma would repeat the same trick.
Perhaps, in the world of Hollywood, everything really needs to be done without compromise. But this time, Hugo won't be fooled again.
