Chapter 70 Chapter 070

One of the most troublesome things about buying furniture is to transport it back. At present, only Joseph's Volkswagen Golf is the only one among the four Hugos. This is not a model suitable for transporting furniture. The second-hand furniture market does not provide door-to-door service. , so you can only transport part of it back each time, and then keep people to continue shopping in the second-hand furniture market.

Hugo was sitting at the door of the second-hand furniture market at this time. He was sitting on a black palm sofa, with two lamps, two birch chairs and some trivial gadgets stacked next to him. He was still holding one in his arms. Vintage gramophone. It looks like a gypsy wandering around. Because he is homeless, he can only stand on the street with some scattered luggage, looking very embarrassed.

Carl borrowed a pickup truck from a friend just now. It is much more convenient to have a pickup truck to transport furniture, but he needs to go to his friend to pick it up, so Carl took the subway to get the car. Alex and Joseph returned with a batch of furniture, leaving Hugo alone to guard the furniture he just bought.

Hugo was studying the phonograph in his arms at this time. In the early 1990s, compact discs (CDs) had been widely used, gradually replacing the status of vinyl records and cassettes, becoming the mainstream carrier of the music market, and the once-dominant vinyl records had withdrawn. In the middle of the 1990s, because of its preciousness and classics, there was a wave of collection, but after entering the 21st century, many vinyl records can no longer be found, and even phonographs have been removed from people's disappeared from sight.

In the past, when Hugo saw a gramophone, he seemed to be looking at an antique, but today he was actually holding a gramophone, which was very novel. In fact, if we want to talk about convenience and habit, Hugo is a generation of digital music. He is accustomed to using the download method of the Internet to communicate with music, and the production of music also relies more on digital methods such as computers. But for those who study music, the status of vinyl records is difficult to replace.

The empty inspiration and sense of presence of vinyl records cannot be replaced by CDs and digital music. Compared with the rough digital sound created by CDs, the sound quality of vinyl records is the carrier closest to the original sound. A carrier presented in the most authentic way.

Before Hugo crossed the road, he had also listened to a vinyl record, and he was unforgettable about this kind of music carrier to this day, so today he encountered a gramophone in the second-hand furniture market, and Hugo bought it without hesitation. Originally, Joseph wanted to dissuade him, but when he remembered how Hugo was immersed in music last night, he didn't say anything more.

"You should go to the record store on Sunset Boulevard." A slightly hoarse female voice rang not far away, and gradually approached Hugo.

As soon as Hugo looked up, he saw Uma Thurman in a shirt and jeans. Her figure turned her back to the sun, so that Hugo could not see the expression on her face. Glitteringly, "Then I think I need a bookcase for vinyl records first."

Uma looked at Hugo in front of her, a simple plaid shirt with straight jeans, a pair of white canvas shoes were already messy, and there was a mess of furniture piled up around, holding a gramophone in her arms, looking like she was kicked out The destitute artist in the family, obviously starved to death on the street, still hugs his baby tightly and doesn't want to bow his head. This appearance is so different from the Hugo in Uma's memory that she couldn't help laughing, "You... today's appearance is very special."

After recalling the entanglement between his predecessor and Uma, Hugo had the kiss at the premiere of "The Last Analysis", and he was much calmer when facing Uma again. Hearing this, Hugo looked down at himself, then said with a smile, "If you give me another pair of gloves, I wonder if someone is willing to invite me to move. This should be a good part-time job."

"Haha." Uma laughed at Hugo, "I think there will be many people who are willing to invite you, as long as you are willing to unbutton a few more shirts." work? This is definitely a plot that makes countless housewives fantasy, which is similar to the fantasy of plumbers and firefighters.

Hugo obviously understood the meaning of Uma's words, looked down at his chest, then said with a grin, "I hope I won't let them down."

Hugo and Uma have come and gone, the temptation between words. The confusion couldn't be more obvious, and there was a touch of heat between the two people's eyes. It's just that Uma was standing in the sun at this time, and Hugo was sitting in the shadow, so Uma felt that the sun was a little dazzling and could not see clearly, and Hugo also felt that Uma's expression was a little vague and unpredictable, and the two had to move away. Sight and give tired eyes a break.

"Hey, Uma, are you here to buy furniture too?" Hugo raised his head again and asked. But for some unknown reason, Uma burst into laughter, causing Hugo to think he had said something wrong.

Uma also seemed to realize her rudeness, and quickly restrained her smile, "No, I just thought that when you called my name, the pronunciation was very strange."

"Uma?" Hugo didn't understand, and said it again.

Uma couldn't help laughing again, her sexy lips blooming in the sunlight, like a blooming tulip, exuding a charming fragrance. Uma smiled and waved her hands again and again, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault." Hugo's face was inexplicable, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily drew an arc.

"That's it, don't you think my name is weird?" Uma explained quickly, but with a smile that didn't completely dissipate on her face, "Everyone else has been laughing at my name, thinking it's my name. It's ridiculous. So a lot of times, I use the names of ordinary girls like Linda and Kelly to meet new people. But when you call my name, it sounds unexpectedly nice."

"Nice?" Hugo raised his eyebrows, which made Uma shyly avoid Hugo's smiling eyes, and only then did she realize that she seemed to be boasting. Hugo went on to say, "Is it because I called your name with music?" The name Uma is pronounced full, but it has some simple rhythms.

Hugo's explanation made Uma laugh outright, "Your name is really nice, at least I think, compared to those ordinary Lindas, there are too many features, which makes you unique. Get up, don't you?" Hugo went on to say, the gentle and warm tone was not ostentatious, but it made Uma feel very comfortable, and it was easy to relax, "Does your name have any special meaning?"

"You are the first person to say my name is nice." Uma stood there, looking at Hugo seriously with a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

Hugo pouted and said indifferently, "I hope your parents won't be sad when they hear it."

Uma smiled again, "No, they won't. This name represents their cherishing and longing for me. It is the name of a god in Hinduism."

"Although I'm not a follower of Hinduism, this name really suits you." Although Hugo's words were simple, they didn't feel any politeness or strangeness, which made people feel very comfortable, especially the faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Warm and so comfortable.

Uma finally confirmed her inner thoughts. The Hugo in front of her was different from before. The former Hugo was also bright and sunny, but the former Hugo seemed to be sharper, just like the sun was dazzling. Although it was dazzling, it would also People can't look directly; and now Hugo is still the sun, but it is more gentle, even if you look directly, there is no harm, but you can clearly feel the warm temperature.

In short, the previous Hugo was more dangerous and exciting; but the current Hugo is more attractive, and the warmth is almost intoxicating.

"I think I will gradually get used to my name." Uma has not been able to get out of the shadow of the specialization of her name until now, but in Hugo's soft words, Uma felt that it seemed that The name wasn't that bad either, at least it sounded pretty good to Hugo.

Hugo nodded with a chuckle, and then asked, "You haven't told me yet, what are you doing here? Are you buying furniture?"

"Oh, no, I'm going there for dinner." Uma pointed to a restaurant not far away, and after speaking, she hesitated and offered an invitation, "How about it, would you like to come with me? I'm alone tonight." In fact, after the last "Final Analysis" premiere, Uma wanted to invite Hugo, but in the end she didn't say anything. After all, it was Hugo who invited her and she refused. Still a little awkward. Today she finally took the initiative to speak.

Hugo raised his eyebrows, seemingly a little surprised, but he didn't let Uma stay in place for too long, and then smiled and said, "I just moved to a new house, I have a lot of things to do today, and I still have friends at home. Waiting, I'm afraid not. I'm really sorry, I hope next time."

Although he was rejected, Hugo's tone did not make people repulsive. Uma buried the disappointment in her heart well and smiled, "It doesn't matter." Then she changed the subject, "You moved to a new house today? "

"Yes, I just moved here." After thinking about it, Hugo said enthusiastically, "If there is a chance in the future, you can come over as a guest, and I will live behind Sunset Plaza." Hugo said about himself The address of the new home.

"Is it on that little hill?" Uma naturally knew that area. "I also live nearby, it seems that it's only three streets away from your house."

"Hehe, that's really a coincidence. I can come out and sit for a while when I have the opportunity in the future." Hugo's words were full of sunshine and sincerity, which caused Uma to lose his mind for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and then he felt deeply. Glancing at Hugo, "Then I won't bother you anymore. My stomach has already begun to summon food, so I'd better deal with this first priority."

"You can leave soon, because my stomach was also awakened by you, which is not a good thing." Hugo's ridicule suddenly made Uma laugh, and this time she did not continue to say anything. He waved at Hugo, then turned and left. The slender and elegant back reflected a graceful light in the sunlight.
