Although the pace slowed down, the way home was not far, and it was only ten minutes before and after arriving home. Hugo walked up to the second floor, looked at Ernst's steps behind, and couldn't help but sigh: this is really a stubborn old man.

This has been going back and forth for a while, although Hugo slowed down his pace, but Ernst is unwilling to admit defeat, he has always maintained a certain pace, and now he is climbing the stairs again, he will definitely be panting, but Ernst does not want to admit it, and walks up. Hugo could even clearly see the sweat on Ernst's forehead again.

However, Hugo didn't say anything in particular, because he knew that Ernst's 'sex' didn't want others to prick and 'provoke' him, and if Hugo showed his worries, Ernst would be angry and think that Hugo looked down on him. Besides, Hugo and Ernst are not very familiar with each other, and too much concern will only make Ernst more repulsive.

After Ernst went up to the second floor, he leaned slightly on the handrail of the stairs, panting, but on the surface he did not reveal any tiredness, "Give." Ernst handed Hugo the potatoes in his hand, his hands stretched so straight that he could even see his slightly trembling arms.

Hugo hurriedly took the paper bag and said, "Thank you." ”

Ernst didn't look at Hugo, took the key out of his trouser pocket, and said viciously to Hugo, "Get out of the way." Hugo realized that he was standing at the 'door', so he quickly stepped aside and stood against the wall.

After Ernst stepped forward to open the 'door' of his house, he walked in without looking back, and had no intention of stopping, and when Ernst began to close the 'door', Hugo reacted: Ernst had no intention of asking for his potatoes at all, was this old man angry?

Hugo didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his right foot against the door, "Hey, Ernst, your potatoes." As he spoke, he handed over the paper bag in his hand.

"It's not mine." Ernst replied sullenly, and wanted to close the 'door', but his strength was naturally no match for the young Hugo, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Hugo fiercely, and then stretched out his foot to kick Hugo's little 'leg', "What are you doing!" Don't go into the confines of my house! Who allowed you to put your foot in my house!"

Hugo then noticed that his foot was half a step into Ernst's house, but he still couldn't take it back, "But your potato." Ernst, I just did a small favor and didn't mean anything else, don't be so serious. ”

Looking through the gap in the 'door', Hugo couldn't see much, only a shabby turmeric 'colored' sofa, which looked like it was a long, long time old, surrounded by dense, layered paper texts and books piled high, almost taking up almost a third of the light from the windows, making the room look slightly dim. The room was filled with the dry smell of bookworms, and there seemed to be no sign of anyone else, and at first glance it was the home of a bachelor, and he was not a young bachelor.

But Ernst quickly interrupted Hugo's visit, "I don't need to!" Then he kicked Hugo again, and the kick was very heavy, and kicked Hugo's little 'leg' in the stomach so hard that Hugo retracted his foot as soon as he was in pain, and Ernst did not hesitate more, and directly closed the big 'door' heavily.

With a "bang", the 'door' panel smashed directly, and even raised a cloud of dust, making Hugo's eyes blink several times in a row. It is conceivable that if Hugo had not withdrawn his foot, it would have been very likely that his foot would have been bruised at this point. At this moment, Hugo felt the young, stubborn and unyielding 'spirit' in Ernst's body, and of course, Ernst's irritable, stubborn, and bad temper.

Hugo thought about it, but put the paper bag of potatoes at the 'door', and then took out all the potatoes in his paper bag, trying to put them all into one paper bag, but obviously this is impossible. In desperation, Hugo could only put all the potatoes that could not be packed around, and then picked up his paper bag and walked up to the third floor.

When he returned to the third floor, Hugo tried to search for the key in his pocket, only to realize that he still had three potatoes in his pocket, so he quickly put the paper bag on the ground and took a new step to go downstairs. But halfway through, Hugo heard the sound of the door opening, and he stopped and lowered his head to look through the gap in the staircase.

I saw Ernst looking at the potatoes on the ground, and then looked around, Hugo was afraid of being seen, and quickly retracted his head, and then he heard Ernst muttering and complaining, although he couldn't hear what it was, but the intermittent cursing could still be heard, obviously Ernst still had countless grievances with Hugo, and disdained Hugo's nosy at all.

Still, when Hugo looked again, he saw Ernst pack up all the potatoes one by one, and go into the house with them in his arms, but this time he closed the door with a much softer movement, but the crisp movement could still be heard.

Hugo looked at the empty "door", "showed" a smile, walked back to the third floor, took out the potatoes in the pocket of the "trousers", put them in his paper bag, and then took out the key to open the "door".

Opening the door, Hugo first put the key in a tea-colored glass bowl at the entrance of the door, then went straight to the kitchen, put the paper bag on the dining table, and poured himself a glass of water. At this time, Charlize came out of the room, glanced at the kitchen, and after confirming that it was Hugo, he asked, "How was the recording of the show today?"

Charlize has been taking acting courses since signing with Carl, and it was a new challenge for Charlrise.

The modeling industry, although it is also necessary to learn physical training, photo skills, catwalk skills, etc., but to put it bluntly, it is a profession that relies on appearance and talent to eat, although the technical content is there, but it is not too high, so Charlize, who has trained ballet since childhood, can easily control it.

But actors are different, although this profession also relies on talent to eat, anyone standing in front of the camera can "act", but not everyone can act well, and even some people can't move or speak when they stand in front of the camera. The course of acting training is only a beginner, which covers many topics such as cultivating attention, imagination, emotional memory, body language, angular 'color' speculation, script analysis, cultivating a sense of camera, opponent's 'communication' flow, movement and card positioning, not to mention basic pronunciation training, expression control, emotional expression, etc.

Charlize's studies in the past few months have been busy and fulfilling, even busier than Hugo, who was idle after the finale.

Charlize and Hugo are very comfortable with each other now, although they have not been able to develop further into love, but as friends, as roommates, the time they spend together is always full of relaxation and comfort. And to add a living treasure Alex, the atmosphere on the third floor is always very lively, and even Joseph and Carl on the fourth floor spend most of their time on the third floor.

During this time, Charlize would practice acting with Hugo or Alex every day when he came back from class, which reflected the advantages of actor sharing, and a group of actors discussed acting skills and practiced together, which obviously made life very pleasant. Of course, because the three of them were too noisy, Ernst downstairs was angry a few times.

"It's good, a qiē is very smooth, and I still ...... I signed autographs for fans. Hugo originally wanted to say "the first time", but it didn't make sense to think of it, so he braked stiffly, "There was also a group of fans blocking me at the 'gate' of the radio station." Hugo happily showed off like Charlize.

As a result, Charlize said, "Really? How many people?" He choked Hugo, "More than thirty." Charlize flew over directly, "Listening to your tone, I thought it was three thousand." Hugo could only giggle.

"What is this?" Charlize took out the potatoes and asked suspiciously, "If you buy potatoes, you will buy three, and you plan to eat them raw and lemons?"

Hugo walked to the table and took a seat on the barstool, "No, it's a gift, a gift from Ernst." ”

"What? I heard you right. Alex's voice came from the door, and he walked in happily with a red 'color' costume in his hand, and then walked straight to the kitchen, "You mean Ernst's gift?"

Hugo raised an eyebrow, "Yes, that's right!" Then Hugo briefly recounted the situation, "I will take these three potatoes as a gift from him." ”

As a result, Alex pouted, "Who knows when he will come upstairs to ask you to go back." Alex has lived here a little bit longer and naturally knows a little bit more about Ernst.

Hugo asked curiously, "Does Ernst really live alone?" The United States is a country that attaches great importance to the family, although it is said that children will be independent when they become adults, but the concept of family is the most important part of the American consciousness, including many American welfare policies will revolve around the family. Therefore, it is not common for Ernst to live alone at such an age, without children and daughters, and without entering a nursing home.

"Yes." Alex nodded without hesitation, "To be precise, I haven't seen anyone visit him since my first day here, let alone relatives, not even friends. ”

"How do you know that you don't stay at the 'door' of someone's house every day." Charlize, though he didn't have much of a good impression of such a grumpy stubborn old man, still said a fair word.

Alex laughed embarrassedly, "Let's put it this way, I didn't notice it when I did." I think he's like Quasimodo, 'sexual' weird and withdrawn, and he loses his temper at every turn. ”

"Are you sure you've read the original 'Notre Dame de Paris' novel?" Hugo laughed and said that Quasimodo was the bell tower weirdo in "Notre Dame de Paris". In fact, although Quasimodo is very ugly, he is kind-hearted and cowardly, and he has not taken the initiative to hurt others, but he is ostracized because of his appearance. So Alex's description is not so accurate.

Alex scratched his head in embarrassment, "You know what I mean. "Actually, Alex is saying that Ernst is like Quasimodo, and he is not allowed to enter the world.

"Then you would be more appropriately described as 'Joseph of Wutheris.'" Hugo said with a smile.

'Who's calling me?' Joseph's voice came from the door, and the three people in the dining room looked at each other, and then Hugo hesitated, looked at Joseph who came over, and said, "Emily Brontë." bronte)?”
