The convenience store was silent, and Hugo had time to look at the space at this time, and there was hardly much change from the impression in his mind, the shelves were exactly the same, the furnishings were exactly the same, but the children's saddle on the counter disappeared in his memory - of course, even if the saddle was kept now, he could not use it.

The light in the shop is not bright, as if there are countless dust floating in the air, and the dryness makes the skin tense for a while, as if it will peel off at any moment, which is a little depressing. Hugo didn't know if it was because he had grown up, so he always felt that the space had shrunk and the air had become thinner.

"So why did you come back all of a sudden?" Adam finally couldn't stand the silence any longer, so he opened his mouth to break the suffocating silence in the air.

"I thought this was my home." Hugo turned his head to look at Adam, looked seriously into his father's eyes, maybe there was the encouragement of the conversation just now, maybe there was the direct face-to-face 'exchange' conversation, Hugo's previous worries and irritability disappeared at this moment, he looked at his father frankly and directly, and said firmly.

"Haven't you already chosen Hollywood?" Adam didn't pause at all, and just retorted.

"So you're going to continue arguing with me about my profession?" Hugo looked at Adam's cloudy eyes, and did not raise his voice to argue impatiently as before, but kept his words steady and spoke unhurriedly.

"You know I don't like actors, and I don't support you being an actor!" Adam faced Hugo's eyes, and his heart suddenly became irritated, and he roared in a rough voice, "That's why you ran away from home, isn't it?" You haven't been back for ten years, so don't tell me that this is your home, it's ridiculous! ”

Hugo's irritability rose uncontrollably, Adam seemed to have this ability, turning the conversation between the two into a war, but Hugo still forced himself to swallow all the evil words that came to his mouth, "What's the matter with the poster at the 'door'?" ”

Hugo didn't know why the two fathers and sons got along in this way, and Adam obviously cared about himself, even if he didn't know how to express it, there was no need to use this bad way to deepen the conflict between the two people.

Before leaving, Hugo had countless worries and speculations, the interval of ten years was too big, so Hugo didn't know how to face it, especially Adam was against becoming an actor, and there were indeed too many unpleasant things between the two people; But the few words he just understood made Hugo realize that their father and son may not be so close, but it definitely should not be the current contradictory appearance. So, now that he has returned, since he has stood here, Hugo wants to 'figure out' the truth of the facts.

Hearing Hugo's direct words, Adam's eyes were slightly flustered, and then he used even more anger to hide his panic, "Advertisement, that's just an advertisement, it doesn't have any meaning, if you want to use that thing as an excuse, I can go and tear that damn thing off now!" ”

"You know it's not, and I know it." Hugo looked at his father's anger and was puzzled, then omitted all the processes and twists and turns, and said directly, "I heard the conversation between you and Old Jack just now!" ”

Hugo's straightforward words made Adam stunned directly, and his face, hidden behind the messy beard and hair, lost its protective 'color' in an instant, and could only reluctantly say, "That's just because I don't want to admit defeat in front of that old guy!" ”

"I also talked to little Jack for a long time." Hugo's words crushed all of Adam's defenses, but Adam was not such a light man who would disarm, he still tried to reorganize the language and wanted to refute again, but Hugo didn't plan to give him such a chance again, "Dad, things are obviously not like this, why do you keep doing this, why do you want to make things more complicated, why do you repeatedly refuse my kindness, do you really not want to recognize me as a son?" ”

In the face of Hugo's step-by-step 'pressing', Adam had a look in his eyes and said directly, "Then why did you choose to run away from home in the first place, but now you are trying to make up for this relationship?" ”

Hugo's abnormality in the past year is actually felt by Adam, Hugo originally took the initiative to run away from home, if it weren't for financial difficulties or discussing Lena's problems, Hugo would not have contacted Adam at all, even if there had been several requests for help before, the 'exchange' between the two was very unpleasant. But since last year's Thanksgiving, Hugo's attitude has changed faintly, Adam can feel Hugo's initiative, but at the same time he can't help but wonder if Hugo is aware of the secret he has been hiding, which makes Adam very uneasy, in addition to diverting Hugo's attention in a violent way, Adam doesn't know what to do.

Adam is the kind of traditional western man, who is very bold and generous when getting along with friends, but when faced with the need to express feelings, whether it is love or family affection, he is very clumsy, and he is more accustomed to hiding all his thoughts in the depths of his heart and expressing them in his own way than saying this emotion.

Hugo's heart was shocked by Adam's words, but he quickly reacted, Adam was not aware of the change in his soul, but simply reacted to his own step-by-step 'pressure'.

"Because you're my father." Hugo opened his mouth and said, just such a simple sentence, but Adam avoided his gaze uncomfortably, a little wolf, "I want to be an actor, and I am trying to move towards this dream, but dreams and family are not in conflict, I think we need to have a little more 'communication', don't we?" ”

Adam fell silent, he had lost the opportunity, Hugo had just heard his conversation with Old Jack, which made him lose the excuse he had been using as a cover, and at the same time let Hugo find a breakthrough. Although Adam didn't know why Hugo suddenly figured it out, opened the knot in his heart, and chose to rebuild the relationship with himself, Adam knew that Hugo was right, in fact, deep down in his heart, why not long to be able to chat with his son calmly? Adam couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been quiet in conversation with his son, not since the year she left, when he was only eight years old.

Seeing Adam's silence, Hugo didn't know what to say, and the conversation between men always seemed very difficult. Hugo turned his head to look to the side, and then he saw the paper used to block the sun on the window, which was actually a movie poster, the one in the lower right corner was "Dead Poets Society", next to it was "Hudson's Eagle" and "Little Restaurant", on it were "Smell the Fragrance of the 'Woman'" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", the ten movies he has starred in, the posters are all neatly placed on the window, and the rest of the place is replaced by newspapers.

Hugo seemed to have seen his name in the newspaper and was about to take a closer look, but Adam noticed Hugo's movements, coughed twice, and said, "So, you don't mind your mother's business?" ”

Adam's words made Hugo turn his head suddenly, Hugo will not forget, this incident is the fuse of their father-son conflict, Adam once said that Lena was driven away by him, and obviously Hugo and Lena are closer to each other, after all, Adam is not a father who wants to play with his children, so Hugo and the father who should bear all the responsibility are completely separated, and the two are drifting apart.

"I wonder why my mother didn't take me with her in the first place." Hugo squinted his eyes and said.

This is the biggest leak 'hole' after Hugo thought about it for a long time, since Adam said that Lena was driven away by him, but Adam did not detain himself, so why didn't Lena take himself away when she left? If so, this is obviously not in line with the facts, Lena is really close to her son, and she is worried that her husband will not be able to take care of his son if he is so temperamental. This is not an easy decision for any mother, especially if Hugo and Adam do not have a good relationship.

Adam was silent again because of Hugo's words, he obviously did not expect that more than ten years later, Hugo would suddenly discover this leaky 'hole'. All along, this lie was seamless, and Hugo never doubted the situation described by Adam, but after Lena left, the relationship between father and son broke down completely, and then father and son began a fifteen-year confrontation. But today, Hugo is back, so it seems that the situation of more than ten years is about to fall apart.

"So what, you shouldn't have come to ask me. If you're going to accuse me, you've said enough in the past ten years, so there's no need to repeat it now, I've told you the truth of the facts, whether you believe it or not, that's it. Adam could only grit his teeth and continue to insist on this statement, and there was nothing else to do. So, if you're going to hate me, go ahead, it doesn't make any difference to me. ”

Hugo didn't speak immediately, he could detect the abnormality from Adam's slightly changing face, Adam is a man who is not good at expressing feelings, but he is also not good at hiding his feelings, Adam's hesitation, struggle and concern Hugo saw it clearly in his eyes, and suddenly, a bold idea entered his head like lightning, which made Hugo's heart start beating wildly, if this was the case, then all the words were explained, but, Is that really the case?

"You say you don't care about my career as an actor, but what are those posters? You say you don't care about my life or death, but little Jack tells me that I don't; You say you don't want me back at all, but that's not what your eyes say. So, you said that you drove away your mother in the first place, is that really the case? ”

Hugo's words made Adam's heart tremble slightly, but he bit his lower lip tightly and didn't dare to speak, and then he heard Hugo say, "At the beginning, it was my mother who took the initiative to leave, right?" ”
