Charlize stood on the edge of the windowsill, put his right foot up, and sat with simple leg presses, one after the other, adjusting his breathing as he made the movements, each one so carefully and carefully. Although she left ballet because of a knee injury, it does not mean that she no longer loves ballet, on the contrary, she still sticks to the habit she began to develop at the age of six every day, not only to think about ballet residues, but also to sculpt the body.

At this time, the telephone on the wall of the kitchen door rang, and the non-stop ringing continued to echo in the room, Charlize looked back at the empty living room, obviously no one wanted to come out to answer the phone, she couldn't help but shout, "Terra! Tara! Answer the phone. ”

A tall, curvy black woman trotted out of the bedroom on her toes, complaining to Charlize "You're here," but walked briskly over to the phone and answered, "Hello, this is Tyra Banks. banks), who am I talking to? ”

This woman named Tyra has a beautiful face, and her facial features inherit the advantages of black African-Americans, but at the same time, her talking eyes make her more sweet. At this time, she simply wore a set of white underwear, which clearly showed the advantages of her figure.

Charlize didn't know Tyra until he came to Los Angeles, Tyra is now also a professional model, she entered the industry in 1990, but in the past two years, Tyra's modeling career has not improved much, although she is very congenitally excellent, but now there are very few black models in the United States, the whole species. Tribe. The problem of discrimination has not been resolved, much to Terra's dismay.

Since neither of them has developed their careers, they can only share a house and use the rent to relieve the financial pressure. Usually Tyra is still a very bright personality, a woman who loves to joke, although she and Charlize have not known each other for a long time, but the relationship between the two is still very good. This is very rare, especially when two women in the same industry live under the same roof, and there is no intrigue, vicious competition, which is indeed uncommon.

"Well...... Yes, she's ...... No problem......" Terra communicated with the other party on the phone, but kept looking at Charlize with a smile when she spoke, which made Charlize feel inexplicable, she originally planned to continue her practice, but was confused by Terra. Looking at it with ambiguous eyes, there was no way to practice well, so he glared back and asked "what" with his eyes.

Tyra took the receiver off, obviously looking at Charlize, but deliberately shouted, "Sally (Charlie), Sally, your call is from Mr. Hugo Lancaster...... Sally! ”

Charlize was covered with goosebumps from Tyra's coquettish voice, she angrily took her right foot off the windowsill, and then also trotted over on tiptoe, viciously snatched the microphone from Tyra's hand, but didn't want Tyra to laugh and said, "Don't worry, I was going to give it to you", but Charlize raised his foot and kicked it, Tyra said "Oops, shy" while running towards the sofa, away from Charlize's attack range, and then repeatedly signaled Charlize to answer the phone.

Charlize didn't want to answer the phone under Tyra's watch, otherwise she wouldn't have peace after the phone hung up, but Charlize found that Terralai was not willing to leave at all on the sofa, and she could only grit her teeth and stomp her feet helplessly, and then said into the microphone in a slightly irritable voice, "This is Charlize talking." ”

Such a real voice suddenly startled Terra, who was watching the excitement next to her, and she just had to imagine the expression on the other end of the phone to roll happily on the couch. Generally, when girls answer boys' calls, they will be a little more ladylike, if it is the object of their heart, then the tone and rhythm of their speech will obviously have a big change from usual, Charlize is so real and different.

Hugo was on the other end of the phone, and when he heard Charlize's voice like this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and laughed, "It seems that I chose the wrong time." ”

Charlize also realized that there was something wrong with her tone just now, and couldn't help glaring at Tyra fiercely, but it would be too fake to change the tone of her voice at this time, so Charlize simply spoke again in her original voice, anyway, she didn't deliberately hide her true self when she met Hugo for the first time, "No, it's just that you called, and my roommate started to make a fuss, thinking that the two of us had something, and they were squeezing their eyebrows at me." ”

Faced with Charlize's frankness, Hugo laughed, "Maybe in her opinion, there is no pure friendship between men and women." ”

"Maybe there are other reasons, like our daily lives are so boring, so every little thing can be thought up in countless versions." The smile on Charlize's lips couldn't help but outline, but Tyra was lying on the sofa with a girl's arms. Chun's expression was really an eyesore, Charlize had to take the microphone cable and walk towards the kitchen, out of sight, but Tyra's hearty laughter on the sofa made Charlize's cheeks inexplicably hot: even if it was nothing to be disturbed by Tyra, it became something to do.

"Don't you have a job on your hand right now?" Hugo picked up the landline and walked from the direction of the bedside table to the only window in the room and sat down.

It is still the early 90s, although mobile phones have long been put on the market, but the penetration rate is not high, not only because the current mobile phones are still classic brick large mobile phones, a mobile phone is worth more than 4,500 US dollars, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford; Moreover, mobile phones are subject to signal problems, and the communication quality is not good, so they have not been widely promoted.

The first week of Hugo's time travel was very unaccustomed, the computers and networks here are not developed, and there are no mobile phones, which makes Hugo feel as if he has returned to a primitive society, which is definitely a torment for people who almost have computer dependence or mobile phone dependence in the 21st century.

But human adaptability is always amazing, it has only been less than ten days Hugo has adapted, after getting used to life without computers and mobile phones, Hugo now feels very convenient, especially the landline phone has no radiation problems, and does not make the ears hot, so that Hugo is very satisfied.

Charlize also leaned against the edge of the kitchen sink, "No. Not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will not work. Life in Los Angeles is so laid-back that I didn't expect before I left New York. This slightly ridiculous and self-deprecating tone made Hugo laugh involuntarily.

"That's great, I want to invite you to dinner, you won't have an excuse to excuse yourself, right?" Hugo said with a smile.

Charlize couldn't help but purse his lips, with a funny smile on his face, "Hugo, this, is this a date?" In fact, the last time we met, Charlize was willing to give his phone number to Hugo, so he was mentally prepared, but there was no news from Hugo for a week or so before, and Charlize thought he had guessed wrong. At the end of the disappointment, Hugo's call came, much to Charlize's surprise.

In the face of Charlize's straightforwardness, Hugo realized that in Western culture, dinner dates are very formal, but he didn't feel this way before, he just wanted to ask Charlize out for dinner after his agent's business, but he came to this point.

"If I say yes, will you say yes?" Hugo's mellow voice came through the telephone receiver, and this sentence made Charlize's heartbeat a little chaotic, and the smile on the corner of her mouth revealed her happy mood at this time. Hugo then continued, "Of course, if you wish not, then not really, because I think it is important that you are willing to come out and have dinner with me." ”

Charlize was amused by Hugo's ridiculous straightforwardness and laughed directly, perhaps the reason why the two people had a trouble when they met for the first time, so the two of them always had a relaxed and comfortable conversation, but there was less caution between men and women.

"As long as I don't pay." Charlize said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. As soon as this sentence came out, there was a sound of stomping feet at the door, Charlize looked up, and saw Terra's anxious jumping feet for himself, obviously very dissatisfied with his reply just now, and shouted silently: How can you talk about money with your date!

But at the same time, Hugo's warm laughter came from the earpiece, mixed with the sunset projected in the kitchen, like a cup of mellow coffee rising, "Don't worry, I will save the AA system for the second meeting." Charlize burst out laughing out loud with a joke, and the silver bell-like laughter shone countless lights in the sun.

"So, the Pacific Railroad Dining Car (Pacifiing. car), eight o'clock in the evening, is that okay? Hugo then said, and Charlize's confirmed voice soon came from the other end of the phone, "No problem, see you in the evening." Then Hugo heard the sound of girls frolicking on the phone, which made Hugo laugh too.

Hugo currently has no friends in Los Angeles, he doesn't know anyone but Joseph, and he can't share the joy of the "Smell a Woman" audition success with anyone. Although Charlize only had a one-sided relationship, he was at least a little better than a stranger, and the first meeting between the two was very pleasant, so Hugo followed up on Carl Earle's affair and invited Charlize to dinner with him, which was a simple celebration.

On the other side of the phone, Charlize hung up the phone, and Tyra pounced on Charlize with her whole person, "Sally! You're going out to dinner with Hugo, that super handsome guy! Sally, take him down, take him down! ”

Charlize couldn't stand Tyra's enthusiasm, and said with a smile, "Tyra, are you sure it's me and not you who eats with the handsome guy?" ”
