Chapter 859 859 Strange Smell of Durian
Standing in front of Hugo is James Franco.
Hugo was surprised to see James in Houston. In fact, Hugo saw James in the crowd when he was performing in San Francisco before. At that time, the crowd was turbulent, and everyone swarmed towards the band members who were leaving the venue. Hugo and others were busy squeezing out. At this moment, Hugo took aim at James, because James was like a stone pillar. In the crowd, it is very conspicuous.
Hugo's eyes met James's in the air. James' eyes were a little weird, with a hint of surprise in his excitement, and a little scrutiny in his anticipation, as if he could see a flower on him. But before Hugo could react, James suddenly turned around and left, which made Hugo feel like a durian again involuntarily.
After San Francisco, Hugo never saw James again, which is not surprising, because every city show is surrounded by countless fans, and it is not so easy to meet a specific person, even Cameron Long and Sally, these frequently appearing faces, it is normal to not see one day in a certain city.
Unexpectedly, they met again in Houston today; what's even more strange is that James actually asked to talk to himself alone, which was beyond Hugo's imagination: to be honest, he still doesn't know whether James likes him or not. Hate yourself, or like your own music or movies, which directly led to the image of durian flashing in Hugo's mind.
"So, how?" Hugo greeted with a smile after watching Cameron leave.
But James avoided Hugo's eyes. When he asked to talk to Hugo alone just now, he had the courage to break the boat. That kind of unshakable expression made Hugo feel a little inexplicable, and also made Cameron take the initiative. Leaving is to meet James' request. But now, James seemed to be suddenly deflated, and his eyes began to dodge.
"I came all the way from San Francisco." James finally spoke, but the topic seemed a little weird: Why should such a topic be talked about alone, why should we avoid Cameron?
Hugo was stunned, but he nodded politely and said, "That's great, I hope you enjoy the show along the way."
"Yes, the band's performance is really wonderful." James said in a daze, he scratched his head uneasily, his eyes kept drifting towards Hugo, but as soon as he caught Hugo's sight, he immediately avoided it in a panic .
The appearance of James made Hugo have two thoughts in his mind. The first thought was terrorists, and the second thought was flesh and blood. But right now, neither of these ideas is reliable. Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth because of the funny idea in his head. He chuckled and said, "James, sixty seconds." After he finished speaking, he pointed to his wrist without a watch, indicating that he just asked for one more time. Minutes for private conversations.
Looking at Hugo's expression, James was also a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and didn't speak, and his face and eyes were hard to see.
Hugo is really puzzled. This James Franco has been so weird several times. Is he really the James Franco who will appear on the big screen in the future? Or is it just someone with the same name -- and someone who looks a bit more alike? This coincidence, though rare, seems to be the only explanation, doesn't it?
Obviously it was James who asked for a private conversation, but he didn't say anything useful. Hugo was not surprised. He had met such fans before, and he just hoped to get along with the band members more. Although this object was James, let him. The situation looked a little more bizarre, but nothing too surprising.
Hugo patted James on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Tick tick, the time is about to end. I think, let's talk next time." After that, Hugo was ready to walk away.
But at this moment, James suddenly raised his head and looked at Hugo. That indomitable courage made Hugo's footsteps slow down, and then Hugo saw James clenching his teeth fiercely, and his eyes were nowhere to be seen. Anyone who evaded and looked straight over, the terrifying look in his eyes seemed to see every change of emotion in Hugo's pupils, "Lina, my mother's name is Lena."
Hugo's footsteps stopped just like this, Lena? The name is very familiar, but the question is, what does James' mother have to do with him? Looking at James, who seems to be about to pounce, he raised his brows unconsciously.
James stared at Hugo, and he quickly noticed the confusion in Hugo's expression. At this time, the feeling of breaking the boat came again. James said without waiting for Hugo to respond, "My mother's original name is It's called Lena. Brody..."
James said word by word, Hugo's eyebrows involuntarily moved closer to the middle - this name is really familiar, and then James' next sentence revealed all the answers, "After she got married, she changed her name to Lena Lancaster."
boom!
In an instant, Hugo understood what a bolt from the blue was. His handsome eyebrows gradually moved closer to the middle, but before they could get tangled together, they immediately stretched out, clearly showing his shock. All the emotions in those amber eyes disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing but stunned. Then Hugo saw James' deep eyes staring at him full of curiosity, as if he wanted to go deep into his own heart and into his own soul. Cover up.
"Now, her name is Lena Franco." James finished the rest of the words, but it caused a storm in Hugo's heart.
In fact, not only Hugo, James' confusion and anxiety at the moment are not inferior to Hugo. He looked at Hugo grandly, trying to find some clues of true emotions from Hugo's eyes that were covered by the fog, However, Hugo's eyes were like the sky in the rainy season in Seattle, always covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible for him to detect.
Lina finally has news, two and a half years have passed since the Golden Raspberry Awards; if you count the time in Lancaster, it has been eighteen years. The mother, who was always covered with a veil, finally revealed the tip of the iceberg, but she didn't expect it to be in this form.
It's ironic, isn't it? It was not Lina who appeared, but the news brought by the boy who looked underage in front of him.
Hugo's mind was a little confused, because he didn't expect to hear the news of his mother under such circumstances, but he still forced all thoughts to be suppressed, and then slightly twitched the corner of his mouth at James in front of him, Says politely, "Is that so? That's a really good story. Say hello to your mother for me." Hugo was as if nothing had happened, it was just an ordinary fan telling him his mother's story, So Hugo said hello politely, everything was so ordinary and ordinary, nothing special.
After speaking, Hugo took another step forward and walked straight forward without asking, discussing, questioning, or even stopping. Hugo had no intention of pursuing the truth at all: is Lena in James' mouth really? his mother? If so, what happened to Lena all these years? Why did Lena never contact her? What is the situation now?
At this moment, Hugo didn't want to know, and he didn't want to discuss it, at least not now.
Hugo could deeply feel that a certain part of his soul began to surge, which made his eyes warm, and the feeling of entanglement and tearing in his heart made his breathing a little short. He knew that this belonged to Lancai. But he tried his best to suppress this feeling and maintained the calm on the surface, but his frowning eyebrows again revealed his true emotions at the moment.
Before, Hugo had always told himself that Lina had never thought about contacting him, there were all kinds of possibilities, maybe she died, maybe she had a last resort, maybe she didn't see herself at all , of course, maybe she didn't want to be in touch with herself at all. But no matter what kind of possibility, he didn't want to pin his hopes on the mother who had disappeared for 18 years. Compared with Lena, Adam, who is now by Hugo's side, is the most important, and Adam is him only relative.
Hugo had fantasized about how he would react when news of Lena did come out? In Hugo's conception, he imagined countless possibilities, but when the situation actually came, it overturned all of Hugo's assumptions: he chose to ignore, he chose to ignore, and he chose to escape.
But Hugo really has no way to think about whether his behavior is correct or not. He can only choose to turn around and leave, take a step, take a big step, take a big step, just hope that he doesn't run away like a fool Get up, at least be able to maintain a little grace.
"Hugo..." James was also a little overwhelmed. He finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of Hugo, and even exhausted all his energy to speak the words. He even made countless preparations, but things happened. At the end of the day, looking at Hugo's indifferent back leaving calmly, he was confused. He didn't know what to do, and his brain that was caught in the crash had no way to make a correct response.
James wants to catch up, he wants to continue talking with Hugo, but he finds it hard to walk, all his courage seems to be exhausted, and more importantly, he doesn't know that he should talk to the rain. What to say, his mind was already a complete mess, so he just chased up two steps, then stayed where he was, watching Hugo step away gradually, and finally disappeared from sight.
James stood there, suddenly a little frustrated, and began to wonder if he did something wrong, or, did Hugo just hate himself?
