250 The night is as cool as water
Hugo fell into a groggy sleep, his thoughts were tumbling in his dreams, how did things get to this point, why didn't he notice anything abnormal, were those happy moments his own delusions, did he do anything wrong, or did the relationship have problems a long time ago, or can even feelings be a stepping stone in Hollywood's Vanity Fair...... All kinds of intricate thoughts in the dream are like a mess of intricate thoughts, tangled with each other in the dark, as if countless 'hairy' threads are broken up, and then entangled, making Hugo's dream become chaotic, only seeing countless threads, there is no beginning, and these dead knots cannot be opened.
"Whew......" Hugo suddenly woke up from the 'bed', and he only felt a pain in his left knee hit him, which was an old injury from a car accident. Hugo sat up on his knees, holding his knees and rubbing his hands constantly, hoping to relieve the pain with the temperature of his palms. Turning his head to look out the window, sure enough, the canopy had completely darkened, and the drizzle was drifting outside the glass, no wonder his knees were reacting.
The pain in his left knee was not violent, but lingering, like the faint smell of perfume under his nose, and Hugo looked back at the pillow on his left hand, which still smelled of the perfume that Uma was accustomed to. It's a miracle, Uma hasn't stayed here for a week since the Golden Globes, but Hugo still thinks the perfume smells clear, but he doesn't know if it's real or if it's the habit in his brain.
Hugo shook his head, stepped off the edge of the bed, limped out of the room, the quiet hall was empty only by moonlight, Hugo walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower and washed his left knee, the warm water relieved the continuous pain in his knee.
Hugo sat on the edge of the bathtub and watched the water droplets lap his knees, but he knew that there was no way to solve the root problem, and after relieving the pain, Hugo wiped his knees clean with a bath towel, and then went back to the room, rummaged through the white 'flower' oil he had bought in Chinatown, rubbed his knees vigorously, and finally put on a thick knee pad, and then returned to the hall.
'Touching' his empty stomach, rummaging in the refrigerator for food, seeing the fresh octopus in the refrigerator, Hugo was stunned for a while, then closed the refrigerator 'door', found a box of biscuits from the cupboard, took it to the hall sofa and sat down, wrapped his feet with a 'hairy' blanket, turned on the TV, turned down the sound, and watched quietly.
The first part of the classic old movie "Star Wars" was playing on the TV, Hugo couldn't help but start to be in a daze when he looked at the TV screen, he remembered the picture when he and Uma watched the midnight movie together, he wanted to watch a movie that could cheer up the "spirit", but Uma insisted on watching the "wave" romantic comedy, and in the end Hugo compromised, and that day they watched Woody Allen's classic "Annie Hall".
Hugo and Uma are also discussing the love story of Woody Allen and his adopted 'daughter' Song Yi there, this 'chaos'. Len's love broke up Woody's family, and Mia Farrow, who had been with Woody for eleven years, finally chose to break up, and she took Woody to court for custody of the child she and Woody co-raised. Woody's "prolongal" love with his adopted "daughter" also caused all his children to leave him, and turned against each other - his "sister" who grew up together since childhood actually became his "stepmother", and few people can accept this fact.
In Uma's eyes, love is the focus, 'chaos'. Lun and the taboo of the world are the focus, although she can't understand that Woody will look at her own 'daughter', but what is even more surprising is their age gap, such a love is really incredible, but in Hugo's eyes, father and daughter are 'chaotic'. Lun made him feel unacceptable, and Song Yi's appearance was even more incomprehensible. As a result, there was an argument between the two of them, and in the end, the two found out that this was someone else's business, this was the life of the Allen family, and it actually had nothing to do with them, and they discussed other people's gossip, which was not a good thing.
When he reacted, Hugo realized that he had begun to think crankily again, and the lingering pain in his knees made his temples start to 'twitch' again, and he looked at the clock on the wall, he thought that a long, long time had passed, but in fact it had only been a quarter of an hour, and there were still three hours before the sun rose. The night was so long that it was as if there would never be dawn.
Charlize got up in the middle of the night to drink some water, she was so thirsty that she walked out of the room and saw Hugo sitting quietly on the sofa, which made Charlize stop at the 'door' of the room. Hugo in front of her only left her a back, she couldn't see Hugo's expression clearly, and Hugo looked at the TV screen motionlessly, as if he was asleep, but the figure surrounded by the night and moonlight was so lonely, the back that usually looked broad and firm was so thin at this time, the dark night 'color' almost crushed the shoulder, the drizzle and wind outside the window made the empty hall seem so quiet, and the night was as cold as water, which made Charlize shiver involuntarily.
Standing in place and thinking about it, Charlize turned around and went back to the room to get a 'bed' and 'hair' blanket, walked to the sofa, and found that Hugo was not asleep, the eyes were obviously open, but there was no consciousness in those deep eyes, looking ahead empty, as if a bottomless abyss, how could not find the bottom of the darkness. Looking at Hugo like this, Charlize only felt a sour heart, lowered his eyes and adjusted his feelings, and then put the 'hair' blanket in his hand on Hugo.
Hugo sensed the movement, raised his head, and saw Charlize standing in the moonlight with a faint smile on his face, Hugo took his feet back from the sofa, and then lifted the two layers of 'hair' blankets on his body, and motioned for Charlize to sit down, "Why did you wake up at this time?" ”
Charlize sat down at the other end of the couch, then curled up his feet into the blanket and leaned back on the pillow, "I'm thirsty." ”
Hugo nodded, "Did you forget to drink water before going to bed?" He was obviously aware of Charlize's habits.
Sure enough, Charlize replied in the affirmative, "The fried 'chicken' that I ate at night, Alex spilled the whole bag of salt and pepper in the box." Hugo couldn't help but purse his lips, although he was not at the scene, but you can imagine the tragic situation at the scene. What about you? When did you get up? ”
Hugo pointed to the dripping rain outside the window, and Charlize immediately understood, "Wake up with a knee pain?" Isn't it a long time since it hurts, and it's very strict? ”
"It's fine." Hugo's expression looked a little lazy, I don't know if it was the fatigue after waking up in the middle of the night, or the depression in the inner mood, the whole body exuded low air pressure, "It is estimated that it is the problem of sweating all the time when I sleep, and I am a little cold." ”
"Another nightmare?" Charlize sighed lightly, although it was a question sentence, but the words were very affirmative, in the past few days, Hugo had not slept well because of nightmares. Charlize watched Hugo's bright eyes be hidden by dark circles, and she noticed that Hugo's slender fingers had been constantly 'rubbing' the sun's temples', and the moonlight was spilling down through the thinning hair and peeling fingers, reflecting on Hugo's side face, making his face pale. "Are you still thinking about Uma?"
Charlize didn't shy away from the question because she knew it was impossible to dodge. Hugo heard Charlize's direct words, the corners of his mouth tugged slightly, a smile appeared in the soft moonlight, and then said in a faint complaining tone, "You hurt me." ”
Charlize rolled his eyes at Hugo's words, and chuckled twice, "Is it really that painful?" You and her, it's not been a few months since you officially dated. ”
If you think about it, when Charlize moved in last year, Hugo and Uma had their first night, and they didn't enter the dating stage after that, and it should be in the second half of the year to really start dating, to be precise, Halloween was a turning point, so in this way, the two have only been dating for less than three months.
Hugo looked at Charlize stunned, "Time, it shouldn't be a problem." ”
"I admit it." Charlize smiled and raised his hand in surrender, as a 'female', Charlize knows this even more, some people fall in love at first sight after knowing each other for less than a day, **, and some people get along for ten years before gradually discovering each other's charm, in the world of love, time is never a problem. "I just want to say, do you really love her? Or rather, just like. ”
This sentence made Hugo stunned, his 'mixed' head was like a rusty gear, and it was difficult to move quickly, "I don't know. I guess I should love her......"
Hugo's own tone was also full of uncertainty, which made Charlize raise an eyebrow, "You never said you loved her?" Hugo shook his head, he still didn't adapt to Western culture in his bones, here, people say "I love you" is really normal, parents and children 'daughter', siblings and even close friends will say "I love you", this is an emotional expression, but Hugo is not like this, he is not used to this sentence on his lips, even the habit of hugging others is 'flower' It took a long time to get used to.
Hugo can adapt to the fast-paced way of relationship progress like a new human in the 21st century, from the beginning of dating, he is sure to 'make' a relationship when it is suitable, and it is no problem to become friends or never see each other again if it is not suitable. But the phrase "I love you", Hugo has no way to say it lightly.
Hugo remembered New Year's Eve, and under the mistletoe he had the opportunity to say it, but he didn't. Then, just miss it.
Charlize looked at the stunned look on Hugo's face, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "If you just like it, why exaggerate it to love; If you don't love her, you just like her, then why are you so sad? Charlize's words made Hugo have no way to refute, he just looked ahead with an empty 'hole' and didn't say a word, "Are you sad about the loss of this relationship, or are you sad that she is unwilling to fight for this relationship, or are you sad that she has taken advantage of you, or are you sad that she has betrayed your trust?" ”
