584 was in distress in the middle of the night and finally had a day to rest, Alex had a job to go out, Charlize also went to Malibu for a vacation, leaving Hugo alone at home, so he moved out his vinyl records, sat cross-legged on the carpet in the hall alone, while tidying up, and put the records he liked in the gramophone when he saw them, feeling the comfort and beauty of the music flowing slowly in the sun.

Although Hugo has only been in Los Angeles for only two years, he has collected nearly 300 vinyl records, most of which are out-of-print records that could not be found in the 21st century, but were readily available in the early 90s. In fact, now vinyl records have entered the end of development, and a few people who really love music will start collecting vinyl records.

Luckily, Sunset Boulevard is one of the most concentrated old record streets in the United States, and many classic old records can often be found in the shabby, cramped, and humble record stores on Sunset Boulevard. a。 girl。 like。 You)" This vinyl record is one of the classics of the early years of rhythm and blues and jazz style, from the British band Caveman (the. troggs), released in l966.

Watching the melodious notes slowly flow and jump in the sunlight, time seems to be slowly turning back in the promotion of vinyl records. Almost everyone has a sense of nostalgia, not only because they miss the years that have passed, but also because they are curious about what happened in that generation, as if traveling through time and space, which is a very wonderful feeling.

Hugo carefully turned out each vinyl record, and then carefully wiped and cared for it, from time to time he found a vinyl record to play, and even danced with the music when he was excited, Hugo is not a person who can dance, but he is willing to use a clumsy posture to writhe with the music, compared to "dancing", Hugo is more willing to use words like "body rhythm" to interpret his behavior, unconsciously, the corners of his mouth will outline a brisk and wonderful arc.

Time passed in the slowly turning vinyl record, the sunlight seemed to be absorbed into the gramophone with the rotation of the vinyl record, and the night fell, Hugo ordered takeout, still reluctantly sorting out his vinyl record.

Hugo found that the more things were organized, the more chaotic it became, because he wanted to put out every vinyl record and listen to it, although he collected so many vinyl records, but there was not much time to really have time to quiet down and listen to and appreciate, and it was rare to have such an opportunity, and Hugo was intoxicated with it.

When Hugo noticed it, the muscles in his body were a little stiff and sore, and he realized that it was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night before he knew it, but Alex did not come back, and Charlize did not come back. If you think about it, Carl didn't show up either, and it is estimated that neither he nor Alex's work is over, and Charlize should be spending the night in Malibu.

Stay overnight. Hugo thought about it carefully, let out a long breath, looked at the vinyl records scattered all over the floor, stood up cautiously, and walked to the edge of the sofa, but the sofa was also occupied by a large number of vinyl records, and Hugo realized that he seemed to have opened Pandora's box today.

Hugo touched his stomach, opened the pizza box on the coffee table, found a piece and put it in his mouth, turned on the radio casually, and went to the kitchen to make coffee. When he returned to the lobby, the radio was reporting on the recent murder of young women, and it seemed that the recent case had caused panic in Los Angeles, and it was now past 12 o'clock in the night, so the radio programs were telling the young women who were coming home in the middle of the night.

"Recently, there have been successive robberies, strong, and strong against young women. In the case of rape and murder, the police confirmed the portrait characteristics of the suspect, who was six feet three inches tall (1.92 meters), medium to strong in stature, wearing a black overalls, about 35 years old white, holding a dagger......"

This suspect is really tall, and he specializes in lone women, no wonder he has been able to succeed repeatedly. Hugo bit into his pizza and felt that the radio news was too disappointing, so he went over and turned off the radio, then rummaged around, first wiped his hands with a paper towel, and then put the vinyl record in the radio, sat down on the couch again, and began to enjoy his dinner.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, with the sound of sporadic drunks, Hugo inexplicably remembered Charllotze, if Charlize didn't spend the night in Malibu tonight and came back now...... Hugo's heart beat out of rhythm all of a sudden, he shook his head, and threw all the nonsense out of his mind, it was already midnight, Charlize must have spent the night in Malibu, and, even if she were to come back, with the etiquette of Mr. Stewart's perfect gentleman, she would definitely escort Charlize back.

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, mocking his carelessness, and then began to nibble on pizza again.

Charlize was depressed on the way home at this time, and he was very happy all day on a date in Malibu today, but I don't know if it was because he was worried that he would spend the night here, Charlize was always a little absent-minded, but Stewart's appearance was as good and gentlemanly as ever, which made Charlize also a little dissatisfied with himself, and finally persuaded himself to devote himself to sunbathing in the afternoon.

But after dinner, the time came, and Stewart asked tentatively, "It's a lot of traffic to go back to town now, so why don't we go to the bar and sit down, and we'll go back after rush hour." ”

Charlize has no reason to refuse, although he is still a little apprehensive in his heart, because Stewart's move was said by Hugo, but Charlize convinced himself that even if Hugo was right, there was nothing wrong with it, she and Stewart had dated seven times, and Stewart's appearance had always been very good, and now it was time to go with the flow. So, Charlize nodded.

Then things went according to the script, and the bars had a pleasant conversation, followed by a visit to the ballroom, and by the time they had finished their evening entertainment, and twelve o'clock was only a quarter of an hour, and naturally Stewart came up with the idea of spending the night in Malibu. Charlize hesitated, nodded in agreement.

Since Malibu was originally a resort, it was full of suitable places to relax, and Stewart chose a retreat hotel where you could do a massage and sauna, and it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it, and also took Charlize's feelings into account, rather than just picking a random motel.

This qiē is perfect, including Stuart has always been very gentlemanly and has done a good job, but Charlize has always been a little uneasy, she is very disappointed in herself, and she doesn't understand what happened to her, why she has to pick and choose in the face of such a perfect date. No, to be precise, she wasn't picky, she just always felt that something was wrong.

Inexplicably, Hugo's phrase "Mr. Perfect" entered Charlize's mind, and then it began to circulate and recycle. Maybe it's because Stuart is so perfect that Charlize hesitates, because this qiē is too much like a fairy tale, but Charlize never believes in fairy tales, but is this a reason? If so, then that's the worst reason in the world to hold back because the date is so perfect, "Oh God" Charlize almost felt like his head was going to explode.

Standing in the lobby of the hotel, Charlize flinched, she looked for an excuse to hold back, "Oops, I forgot that I have a job tomorrow, I'm really sorry, I think we should go back tonight first, maybe we can come back another day for a vacation." ”

Stewart didn't say much, but after seriously asking Charlize for his opinion, he agreed with Charlize's statement. Stewart's gentleness and patience made Charlize feel even more guilty, and she couldn't believe that she had rejected such a perfect man and ruined such a perfect afternoon just because of Hugo's stupid words.

Stewart drove Charlize to Sunset Square, and although Stuart insisted on sending Charlize home, Charlize refused, she needed a little personal space and she needed to calm down before going home to face Hugo. Stewart eventually relented, and Charlize watched as Stuart drove away.

Now, Charlize is walking in the direction of his home, and there is a climb from Sunset Square to where they live, and there are small alleys everywhere, although there are street lights along the way, but it is indeed relatively quiet and suitable for calm thinking.

"God, what the hell is wrong with me, Stu is really nice, and I really like him, don't I? But why? I'm so bad, it's horrible. 'There's still work tomorrow' God, is there a more clumsy excuse than this?" Charlize patted his head, disappointed in himself.

Charlize really doesn't know what's going on, maybe, at this time, she needs a best friend, not a good friend like Hugo, but a female best friend, a best friend she can confide her heart to, Charlize suddenly missed Terra Banks, who was fighting hard in Paris.

But at this moment, Charlize noticed something unusual, it was already half past twelve, the sunset square was completely quiet, and all the shops around were closed, and not even a single figure could be seen, but behind her there was a tall and strong man following.

Charlize noticed him at the beginning, and originally thought it was someone who lived in this neighborhood, after all, there were many third-tier actors living in this neighborhood, but Charlize felt that something was wrong, because she was sorting out her chaotic thoughts, so her head was not clear, she stopped and stopped, and her pace seemed very slow, but the man behind her was actually like this, and it looked as if he was following her...... Trace?

Charlize's heartbeat suddenly began to speed up, she secretly glanced back, and found that the man actually stopped immediately, and then squatted down as if he was tying his shoelaces, but this made Charlize's heart rise to his throat in an instant, this is not normal, this is too abnormal.

Charlize wanted to calm down, but found that her breathing was a little messy at this time, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket in a panic, and planned to call for help, calling 9ll far away from water can not quench her thirst, so, should you call Stewart, who just drove away, or call Hugo, who is now at home?

Oh, God. Charlize didn't have time to think too much about it, and she immediately dialed Stewart's number.
