Chapter 1221 1221 On the occasion of parting
Charlize Theron was woken up in the early morning, which is not uncommon in their family. Many times, Hugo and Alex started to cry and howl early in the morning, either watching the European Football League or playing games all night long. Today, he was woken up again, but Charlize was stunned because she remembered that Alex was filming "Breaking into the Deadly Island" at the outdoor site in San Francisco.
Charlize opened the door of the room and shouted outside, "What are you making trouble again!" But after he said the words, his tone became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared from her mouth, and she stood there and was stunned.
At this time, there were a lot of boxes piled up in the hall, and then Joseph was directing Samora to move the boxes. Leonardo stood on the sofa and shouted, "Hugo, I'll move your vinyl record box, how about it?"
As a result, Hugo didn't know where he was standing and directly retorted, "Hey, that's my baby. Your active disease look may be hit downstairs. I can't even cry when I get crying."
"Hugo!" Leonardo looked depressed, but the others burst into laughter.
Charlize then noticed that not only Joseph, Samora and Leonardo, Alex and Fokin in the hall, Neil was also busy in the kitchen, looking out the window, Cameron, Toby, Pedro, Alfonso and Rick were talking and laughing downstairs, where two pickup trucks were parked.
"Hey, Charlize, you're awake!" Alex walked over from the kitchen, glanced at Charlize, and said with a smile, then shouted into the hall, "Hugo, can't you stay this coffee maker? Without it, Charlize and I don't know what to do."
"You keep it, Steven gave me a brand new set." Hugo stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then Hugo saw Charlize standing at the door. He raised a bright smile on his lips, "Little lazy, are you awake? Come and help me quickly. I thought it was okay today, but it turned out to be more troublesome than I thought."
Charlize pulled the corner of his mouth, "Is there a lot of things going on last night? No wonder they say that moving is too troublesome."
Charlize found her brain was muddy, and she actually forgot that today was Hugo's day to move. Last night, Alex did not come back, and there were only two people at home. They chatted and packed, so that they could move directly today. They were busy until two o'clock in the morning. They also opened a bottle of red wine. Both of them had average alcohol tolerance, but they drank the whole bottle of red wine with talking and laughing.
Charlize thought about it carefully. She couldn't remember how she returned to the room last night. She vaguely remembered that she and Hugo had drunk a little too much, but the whole drinking process took a long time. They were not drunk, but they were just a little confused. In the end, it seemed that Hugo was carrying her back to the room, and then she fell asleep in a daze. Only the melodious vinyl record melody was slowly echoing, it was John Waite's "Missing You".
"No, I don't miss you because you have left me; no, I don't miss you, even if I say anything. I don't miss you, I haven't deceived myself... No, I don't miss you, I don't miss you..."
Everything seemed so similar, but so strange, and the sorrow of parting came in an instant. Thinking of this, Charlize let out a long breath, suppressed all the internal problems, swept out the hazy and trivial memories of last night out of his head, rolled up his sleeves and said directly to Neil, who was standing in the kitchen, "I remember the kitchen was not packed yesterday, and there was something that Hugo wanted to take away."
"Aren't you going to clean it up and help?" Neil pointed at Charlize's messy long hair.
However, Charlize tied up his long hair without any mind, "It's so chaotic now, there's no room for it? Besides, we're all so familiar, how can we pretend to be a lady?" Neil and Alex burst into laughter.
Thanks to the help of a lot of people, Hugo packed everything in just two hours and then carried it onto the rear compartment of the pickup truck.
Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Hugo suddenly felt a deep reluctance in his heart. He really couldn't bear to leave here, as if the scene he had just moved here three years ago was still vivid in his mind. Then he went to the second-hand goods market to find furniture, decorate the home together, and get used to each other from strange to familiarity... He could not call for specific memories in his mind, but Charlize's smile and Alex's smile were so clear, as if it was imprinted in the depths of his soul.
In fact, all this did not come quickly, but it seemed to come so rapidly, as if he had moved here at the last moment, and he was about to leave here the next moment. His reluctance and sorrow surged in an instant, making Hugo stand there a little stunned. He knew that moving was the right choice, which was inevitable. Although the decision was a bit hasty, the thinking process lasted for so long, which was a wise decision. But at this moment, Hugo regretted it.
When Hugo turned around, he saw Charlize coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. The two of them saw each other, looking at each other, then stiffly in place, without saying anything, just looking at each other.
Hugo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he was full of things and could not say anything. They had said too much last night, and it was really a long time since they spoke freely for a long time, just like... just like the night described in the script "Before Sunrise".
Hugo tried to find something in Charlize's eyes, but there was half a hall between the two people. The morning sun was projecting in to make his vision a little hazy. Hugo couldn't see Charlize's eyes clearly, and even her expression became blurred. She could only vaguely see the mist of coffee floating in the light.
"Hugo, come down quickly and get ready to go!" Leonardo's lively voice came from the stairwell, which broke the tranquility between Hugo and Charlize. Both of them subconsciously avoided their sight. Then Leonardo appeared at the door and looked at it, "What are you waiting for? Let's go, everyone is ready to visit your new home."
Hugo coughed lightly, "Yeah, I'm here, you go down first."
Leonardo stood there and looked at Hugo's eyes, smashed it, smashed it, "Okay, hurry up!" Then he turned and went downstairs.
Hugo let out a sigh and looked at Charlize again, "Why, don't you go there together?"
Charlize generously pointed at himself as he was still dressed in pajamas, "Although I don't mind showing up at home like this, it's not very appropriate to go out." This made Hugo chuckle, "You guys go there first, I'll drive over by myself later. If I get lost, I will call you. Then a large group of people don't have to worry about not being able to contact someone."
"Okay." Hugo nodded, took a step towards the door, but stopped again, trying to say something, but he swallowed it, "See you later."
"Yeah, see you later." Charlize waved, then watched Hugo take a step away, and then suddenly there was a pause. Then Charlize heard the sound of the key thrown in the glass bowl, the familiar crisp sound, but it calmed Charlize completely, followed by the messy footsteps going down the stairs.
"Enster, hey, Ernster, I moved today... Haha, don't worry, I will come here often in the future..." Hugo's voice echoed in the stairwell, mixed with Ernster's impatient voice, and finally all disappeared. Charlize only heard Ernster's words "Go quickly..." dragging the long tail sound, but it was full of loneliness and reluctance.
Yes, I'm reluctant to leave.
Charlize suddenly realized that Hugo had really moved. Their three years of "cohabitation" life came to an end today.
What's going on with this strong reluctance and loss in my heart? Charlize took a sip of coffee and beat her chest, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed into her chest, and it was uncomfortable. They are friends, aren't they? Even if they don't live together, they are still friends, not to mention that they will move out sooner or later. She should be happy for Hugo's success today, right? Look at Leonardo and the others, how excited about Hugo's moving, they should be the same, right?
But why is the inner emotions so wrong?
Charlize heard the noise downstairs and walked over, then saw everyone getting into the car. Hugo, who was sitting in the back seat, saw her as soon as he looked up, and waved his hand with a smile. The bright smile was imprinted in the mottled sunlight, causing a warmth to suddenly emerge in Charlize's eyes, which made her smile appear in a embarrassing way, hiding her true expression, and then waved to Hugo.
Alex next to him shouted, "Charlize, hurry up, we are all waiting for you, there are big meals at noon and evening!"
Charlize quickly sorted out her emotions and answered, watching the pickup truck leave, and looking at the empty space, Charlize sighed with some annoyance. She knew that parting was reluctant to part after all. She knew that the sadness of friends who had lived together for three years was inevitable when they were separated, but why was the surging emotions in her heart? Is it just because she was not used to it?
Charlize looked back at the hall where there was not much change, but she could sensitively detect something was wrong. The phonograph next to the phone was gone, the guitar next to the sofa was gone, the shoe rack at the door was gone, the coffee cup that Hugo put on the TV cabinet was gone, and the music score that Hugo often threw on the coffee table was gone... Obviously, all the decorations had not changed dramatically, but they were all different.
Just like Charlize's heart, empty, unable to find the landing point, an irresistible sadness rolled in his chest.
