178 Two-ribbed knife
After Charlize finished a long day of filming, she returned home with Carl and walked to the third floor, she was about to take out the key to open the 'door', but Carl, who was standing behind and was about to say goodbye, suddenly patted his head, "Charlitch, shhhh This brought Charlize to a halt, and then Carl pointed upstairs and whispered, "Follow me upstairs." β
Charlize frowned, "I want to go back and take a hot shower and go to bed." Despite that, she followed Carl's footsteps up to the fourth floor, "Is there anything else?" Charlize 'rubbed' his tired temples and asked, but when the big 'door' on the fourth floor opened, Charlize saw Alex and Joseph sitting in front of the TV in the living room playing Nintendo's red and white machine, she was stunned, "Why are you all here?"
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already half past twelve, and Charlize obviously didn't quite understand what was going on, "Can anyone explain it to me?"
Alex and Joseph, who were playing the game, naturally didn't have time to speak, but Carl said, "Uma has arranged a show for Hugo on the third floor tonight, please let us stay away." β
"Uma? Hugo?" Charlize froze in place, looked back at the big 'door', and moved a little half a step, but stopped. After a day of work today, Charlize's brain was a little sluggish, but now he has also reacted, Uma has prepared a special event for Hugo, so let them help. This is perfectly normal for friends.
"We're all friends, so it doesn't matter if you help." Alex's voice sounded next to him, Charlize lowered his eyes, savored the words, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a bitter arc, but then disappeared, and then completely bloomed into a smile, "Whew, I'm so tired that I can't go back to the room yet, it seems that Hugo owes me a hearty meal." β
Then Charlize walked to the couch in the middle of the hall and sat down heavily, relaxing his tired limbs. The dΓ©cor on the fourth floor is as simple as the third floor, but it also has a manly feel, such as the tan 'colored' sofa where Charlize is now lying - it is old furniture from the street, but it is still very comfortable, except for the stacks of magazines, clothes, two beer cans, a dumbbell and a slipper, which is unbearable.
Charlize let out a low growl of chagrin, "You did it on purpose!" What Charlize can't bear the most is this kind of 'chaos' and 'chaos', and what is hidden is even more terrifying. But she's really tired now, and she really doesn't have the 'energy' to tidy up anymore.
Hearing this, Carl couldn't help but smile, "You don't sleep here, just take a rest, don't tidy up." I can go downstairs in half an hour at most, so that's it. β
"A big meal? That's too cheap for him, too. Alex finally 'time' took the time to come back to his senses, but the answer was Charlize's previous topic, "Hugo bought each of us a brick this time, how about it, this is a good gift." Alex said gleefully.
"Bricks?" Charlize also forced himself to take his attention away from the couch, looked in the direction Alex pointed, and sure enough, he saw a brick, "This is ...... Cell phone? Much smaller than the last time I saw it. "Charlize had seen this kind of thing once before when he was in a modeling agency, but it was obviously a lot bigger.
"Yes, this is the latest, Hugo's gift for us." Alex said happily, "That's mine, yours is in your room, but it's the same one, you can learn to use it." β
"It turns out that he has a plan for a long time." Charlize looked at the brick in his hand and muttered under his breath. Joseph seemed to hear a few words, and turned around to ask "what" Charlize quickly shook his head, "No, nothing." Then he let out a long breath, and God was already relieved, "How is this going to work?" Although he was still very tired, the excitement of being exposed to new things still made Charlize's tiredness much less.
"Do I have it too?" Carl sat down on the couch with a surprised face, looking at the turn of Charlize's hand, Joseph pointed to the big box on the table, "That's yours" Carl immediately picked up the box, "Wow, that's really thank you Hugo." Is this thing any good? How's it going to work?"
"Just try it." Alex paused the game and stood up happily, "Hugo has saved all our phone numbers, you give me a call, I'll go to the room and see what the effect is." β
"But, where can I find the phone number?" Carl and Charlize looked at each other, although there didn't seem to be so many buttons on this brick, but how to use it was really a big deal.
Joseph also stood up and laughed out loud, "Hugo has studied everything, he taught me." β
A group of people are sitting here with their new mobile phones, but they feel that the novelty is endless, and the passage of time is not obvious. Until the big 'door' on the fourth floor was opened by the key again, the sound of opening the 'door' suddenly made the four people in the room frightened, and they all turned their heads to look at the big 'door', it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and the surroundings were completely quiet, and even the sound of the engine whistling by the sports car would cause a burst of echoes, so the sound of the key opening the 'door' became more and more abrupt, and people couldn't help but be 'hairy'.
The big 'door' was pushed open, and a tall and strong man appeared in everyone's sight, with a neatly trimmed beard and neat short hair, and a tough style came to the face.
"Oh, it's you, you're back!" Seeing the comer, Carleton breathed a sigh of relief, and Joseph also raised his hand and waved, which was regarded as a greeting.
The man simply nodded, didn't say anything, even if he said hello, and then without pausing, he strode in the direction of his room. The pair of high-top black 'colored' boots crashed against the concrete floor, and then ended with the muffled sound of the room's 'door' shut, bringing calm to the hall again.
"Who?" Alex asked, and Charlize looked at Carl, expressing curiosity about Alex's question.
"That roommate of ours seems to be called Dropnier, isn't he?" Karl threw a look of confirmation at Joseph and received an affirmative reply, "Germans." I didn't expect to come back so early today. β
"I said, why are you talking in a low voice?" Joseph's words seemed a little abrupt, making Carl, Charlize and Alex all look back at him, which made Joseph a little awkward, and he couldn't help but lower his voice, "I mean, we don't have to worry about waking up Ernst, why are you so quiet?"
Alex and Carl realized that they had unconsciously lowered their voices just now, as if they were worried about alarming others. Now that Joseph had made this clear, both of them couldn't help but chuckle. Charlize didn't speak, but she found that she didn't realize anything unusual, as if they were talking in a whisper as if it were a matter of course, and now that Joseph had spoken it, she realized it.
Charlize couldn't help but look back at the tightly closed bedroom 'door', although he had just had a face-to-face with this roommate named Dropnier, his resolute temperament was indeed very impressive, so much so that Alex subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Don't worry, he doesn't mind anyone else making noise, I guess it's because of the drum......ming," Carl said with great seriousness, and then pointed to his ear, as if to say that his roommate had caused hearing degradation because of playing the drums, which caused the other three to roll their eyes at the same time. Even if the drummer's ears and hearing are affected, it will be a long-term effect, and Dropnir doesn't look that old just now.
Carl didn't realize that he was being complained about by the three people, so he retracted his attention and continued, "Charlize, you and Alex go downstairs, now it is estimated that Hugo and Uma have also used up the hall, you go back to wash up and rest early." There's another play in Charlize tomorrow morning at half past ten. β
Charlize stood up and stretched, "We've done our best anyway, if Hugo and Uma still haven't solved it, then we can't do anything, right?" It's past one o'clock in the morning now, and all the 'waves' are over, and if there are no 'waves', the enthusiasm has almost cooled.
Despite having said that, Charlize and Alex tried to be as relaxed as possible when they went downstairs, and when they entered the hall, they only saw the faint candlelight in the kitchen, and they were relieved to confirm that Hugo and Uma were not in the hall. Alex whispered to Charlize, "You go wash up first, you have to get up early tomorrow, I don't have to." β
Charlize nodded, tiptoed back to his room to get a change of clothes, and then tiptoed into the bathroom, even in the shower, trying to avoid making more noiseβit was not a good place to be from Hugo's room. That's all they can do as friends.
Charlize was still seriously thinking about whether she should change rooms with Hugo, after all, if Uma came over often in the future, it would definitely be much more convenient for them to live alone in a relatively distant space. But then Charlize shook his head and rejected the idea, if Uma and Hugo wanted a separate space, then the shared house was not destined to get the desired result, maybe going to Umma's residence was a good choice.
In the midst of his thoughts, Charlize washed up briefly, and when he came out, he gently knocked on Alex's room door and motioned for Alex to wash. Alex looked at Charlize who was walking on tiptoe, and couldn't help laughing, the two made eye contact, Alex pointed to Hugo's room, and then pointed to the mobile phone he was playing with, and then shrugged helplessly, as if to say: This mobile phone is also 'very' expensive, let's sacrifice a little more.
This expression immediately made Charlize happy, and he 'revealed' a big smile. But after laughing, Charlize deliberately flattened her heels, stepped on the slippers and deliberately took two steps, but unexpectedly, the sound of the slippers touching the concrete floor was unexpectedly loud, and even echoed in the hall, which frightened Charlize, made her stiffen in place, and then slowly stood on tiptoe.
Alex also grinned and froze in place, obviously frightened by the noise, and when he regained his composure, he saw Charlize's zombie-like posture and almost burst out laughing. In the dead of night, especially when your roommates have special tasks, it's hard to hold back your laughter!
