"You know, dreams are never wrong, because dreams make each of us unique, and it is also perseverance that makes our personality gradually complete, if there are no dreams, just muddy and drifting, then everyone is Barbie, all people are Ken, we all. Charlize sat cross-legged on the sofa, leaned forward slightly, looking at Hugo with sadness flowing between his eyebrows, his heart tugging slightly.

"But not everyone is able to dream dreams, and that's what separates everyone in society. Your mother didn't have the courage to dream, her dreams were just an excuse for her, not really a goal from the heart, so she took an impulsive step, but eventually fell into confusion and then cowardly re-hid in another haven. Her failure, and even more, was not the fault of the dream. On the contrary, your success only makes her look more pathetic. "

It was precisely because of Charlize's persuasion that the misunderstanding between Hugo and Adam was solved and great progress was made. But this time, Charlize doesn't want to speak for Lena, because she doesn't think Lena deserves Hugo's forgiveness. But on the other hand, Charlize also thinks that Hugo should not be sad and painful for Lena, and also because Lena is not worth it.

"My ...... Father, you know, Charles," Charlize said of Charles, with a little more difficulty and a little deeper, "he's a bastard, he ruined his own life, and he ruined the first half of my mother's life, but we won't ruin the rest of my life because of him." I came to L.A. and started my career, chasing, I hoped, I could too, and then let my mom live for herself. "

Listening to Charlize's words, Hugo couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed, although Lena abandoned him, he was actually happier than Charlize's father, Charles. It's hard to imagine how many nightmares Charles brought to Charlize's childhood, and how much fear Charlize had in his heart besides relief when Gerda shot to end it?

Hugo still remembers the picture of Zhang Xiaoye gradually becoming cold and stiff in front of his eyes, and Charlize witnessing the bloody shooting picture, how terrible should that impact be?

"Your ......" Charlize said, but hesitated, glanced at Hugo, Hugo was stunned, and then said, "Lena", Charlize nodded, "Lena now has her life, no matter what she feels, no matter what you think, it's a reality," Charlize didn't want to call Lena "your mother" either, so she chose to call her by her first name, as if calling a stranger, "And you and Adam now have their own lives, so I think, Maybe you shouldn't let her life affect your life. I don't see any inconvenience between you and Adam without her. "

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a wry smile, "Yes, I know, I've been working hard to ......"

Hugo naturally knows this truth, but many times, he knows that this is the right thing to do, but he still can't help himself, if people's feelings and thoughts can be automatically adjusted like the switch of a water heater, then the time for the machine to dominate the world is not far away.

Whenever Hugo wanted to ignore Lena, the bitterness in his heart was overwhelming, and Hugo knew that it was because his inner expectations were so great that he easily broke all his defenses after learning the truth. He's not a wooden man, and there's no way he's so ruthless.

Charlize didn't speak again, and she fell silent because she knew how difficult it was, and even though Charles had been dead for so many years, she was still influenced by Charles, as if she believed in love but couldn't embrace it.

The hall was quiet for a while, the two of them sat quietly in place, Charlize did not hug Hugo, nor did he comfort Hugo, just sat quietly, time flowed slowly in the aroma of coffee, but Hugo felt that the bitterness and pain in his heart seemed to slowly dissipate in the afternoon sun in Los Angeles.

Friend, it's really nice to have a friend by your side at this time.

"You know, I've been very curious lately," Charlize broke the silence as if a century had passed, but instead of focusing on Lena, she shifted the subject as if chattering, "Do you know anyone who is happily married?"

Hugo glanced at Charlize and actually laughed, it seems that Charlize is actually a little conflicted about marriage in his bones, on the one hand, he rejects marriage, because she doesn't believe in fairy tales, but on the other hand, she yearns for marriage, because she needs someone to accompany her, and she also needs a goal to move forward, "Of course, I know some happy couples." Hugo pursed his lips and nodded his chin.

Charlize squinted slightly and looked at Hugo meaningfully, which made Hugo smile a little bigger, "But I think they're cheating on each other, you know, 'white lies'." Speaking of this, Hugo also raised the index and middle fingers of his two hands, put them on the sides of his head and hooked them down, emphasizing the phrase "white lie".

Charlize couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud, "I agree, many people can live in lies for the rest of their lives. My grandmother was married, and I always thought she had a simple love life, but she confessed to me that she spent her life dreaming of another man she loved. But she just accepted her fate, which was so sad. "

Charlize finally relaxed a little, leaned back in his chair, and reminisced, "but at the same time, I'm glad she had that emotion, which I never thought she would." "

"I dare say it's better that way." Hugo also curled up in the corner of the sofa and said with great interest, "because once she gets to know that man, she will eventually be disappointed in him." "

"How do you know?" Charlize had a look of disagreement.

"Of course I do." Hugo's eyes widened, "You see, people always imagine romance above a qiē, and that has no basis in fact. "

"Romantic imagination? Oh, and that's Mr. Romance in the Ferris wheel?" Charlize's sarcastic expression made Hugo laugh, looking at Charlize's vivid expression, "Oh, kiss me, how beautiful the sunset is." "

Hugo reluctantly said, "Okay, okay, tell me about your grandmother, what did you just say?" Charlize put his thumb down and kept booing Hugo, making Hugo laugh and couldn't stop laughing, "You know what I mean, I mean, what you can't get is always the best, and distance produces beauty." It is precisely because we have never tried it that we always fantasize about how wonderful it would be if we had it, and the reason why marriage is difficult is because it is so close that it kills all illusions. "

Speaking of which, Hugo tilted his head and raised his index finger f-, Ding Ri f-, Charlize, "It's the same with artists, and the reason why those fans are crazy about stars is because they look too perfect in the spotlight." "

"So you're saying you're like that too?" Charlize sneered and sarcastic, but Hugo nodded as a matter of course, which made Charlize chuckle, "Then you mean that all romance and all love will disappear with the closing of distance and the passage of time?"

"I'm not so arbitrary, I'm just saying that the loss of distance means a deeper understanding, and it often means the breeding of conflict, but it doesn't mean that the end will always be the same." Hugo shook his head again and again, with a mocking and joking expression, "Anything that is too arbitrary will be punished." "

Charlize gave Hugo a roll of his eyes directly, "According to what you say, all love has become boring, so you men always think that you need to change your female partner, and you don't want a stable life." "

"Hey, hey! Man, I didn't say that. Hugo immediately raised his hands in front of him and made a defensive gesture, "But the question is, don't you believe in love?" Then why are you always full of fantasies about love?"

Charlize glanced at Hugo, in fact, she also knew that Hugo was not the kind of man who always wanted to change his girlfriend, she was just an idea just now, but now that Hugo threw the problem again, she fell into thinking again, "Of course, you know, in fact, I have always wanted to be a strong and independent woman, not to let my whole life revolve around a certain man, that is too stressful." But the problem is ......"

Charlize paused and thought about it seriously, "But loving someone and being loved means a lot to me. I often joke about this kind of thing, but isn't everything in our lives about getting love?"

The theory was so interesting that Hugo tilted his head and thought, "Well, I don't know." Sometimes, I dream of being a good husband, a good father, and sometimes this fantasy seems to be very close to me. But other times...... The thought seemed silly," Hugo felt the thoughts in his head rushing out, and could not help but become excited, "as if the thought would ruin me." At this, Hugo smiled self-deprecatingly, "but not because of the fear of responsibility, nor because of the fear that I am not capable of giving love and care, because I can do all of this." "

"It's just ......" Hugo thought for a moment and looked at Charlize, who was also looking at Hugo and listening attentively, "just from the bottom of my heart, I think I'd rather die for some real skill, for an outstanding skill, than just a beautiful and thoughtful love." "

Hugo's words made Charlize also fall into thought, and she lowered her eyes slightly, savoring it. The golden sunlight was slowly flowing in the air, and the thoughts of the two people were floating in the air, and then they collided together, and there was no warmth. There is no ambiguity. It is just the resonance of thoughts, but it produces an imperceptible tacit understanding, which makes the distance between the two people seem so far away, but so close. (To be continued).
