1496 Chapter 1496
The chaotic darkness in front of me floated and sank in my sight. There was only the black fog that could not be seen slowly, but I could not feel the sign of dawn at all. The bright light was tightly pressed under the sea level, as if I could never break free.
Hugo's chaotic brain is still a mess. There are too many things that happened tonight. He doesn't want to think at this moment, nor does he have the strength to think. He just needs to be quiet for a while. Looking at the darkness without any change, Hugo feels indescribable tranquility.
A slight sound of footsteps came from around him, but Hugo didn't want to look back. He didn't care, nor did he care. Even his strength to turn his head seemed to have disappeared. Hugo just sat quietly in place like this, and then the footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped beside Hugo.
Hugo was waiting for the visitor to speak, but he didn't wait for a long time. The surroundings were still indescribable silence. His shoulders became heavier and heavier under the oppression of darkness, but no one spoke. After a long time, the visitor sat down next to Hugo, and did not forget to find a slightly more comfortable position, as if Hugo was not at all, but just focused on his seat.
"Milk?" The visitor finally spoke. It was Charlize. Hugo looked down at the glass that reached over, filled with milk, and was still slowly steaming.
Hugo still didn't turn his head, but reached out to take the cup. The hot temperature instantly made Hugo's hands, which had become stiff, melted. The muscles in his body slowly stretched out. The soreness jumped from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Hugo couldn't help but close his eyes. His heavy eyelids almost couldn't wait to close. The only ray of light disappeared, causing Hugo's world to fall into extreme silence, as if he was the only one left in the world and the hot milk in his hand.
I don’t know how long it took, Hugo’s tired eyelids opened again, the goose yellow light shook faintly in the darkness, and the messy ball of thread in his mind was kicked into the corner, leaving only large pieces of blank space, an unprecedented ease invasion.
Charlize was still sitting next to her. She raised her legs comfortably, held the coffee in her hand, and looked at the calm and empty sea in front of her with satisfaction, as if she was just coming up to rest and relax, and had no intention of talking to Hugo. Hugo pulled tiredly, "Are you going to say something?"
"No." Charlize answered simply and neatly, but this made the curve of Hugo's mouth rise again.
Charlize came up to comfort Hugo. Although they didn't know the specific situation, the only insider, Alan, still kept his mouth tight, they all knew something happened in Hugo, and the situation was very bad. They knew it was related to Glory to death, but also to Hugo himself, but they were helpless. At this time, Joseph, Rick and the others were all downstairs, sitting on the sofa and restless, unable to sleep all night. Charlize was sent to talk to Hugo.
But Charlize did not intend to speak because she knew Hugo. At this moment, compared to any communication and comfort, Hugo needed quietness and companionship. As a friend, the only thing she could contribute was companionship. Charlize clearly knew that she had never experienced Hugo's situation, and she didn't even know what Hugo was going through, so she said "I understand you" or "things will always get better". Such words of comfort are just nonsense, and it would be better not to say it.
What's more, tonight was actually quite magnificent for Charlize. The ups and downs of being nominated, going through awards, and returning empty-handed made Charlize take some time to settle down, and she also needs a moment of peace.
So, Charlize chose to shut up.
Hugo didn't say anything anymore, but picked up the milk and took it to his mouth for a sip. At this time, the milk was no longer hot. The warm milk scent slid into the cold stomach along the dry throat, causing the stomach to spasm. The rolling taste made the conflict of vomiting appear again, but Hugo didn't feel uncomfortable, but the muscles in his body relaxed, and his back, which had been stubborn and straight, slowly drooped.
"What time is it now? Why has the rising sun not come out yet?" Hugo looked at the still dead sea line and broke the silence, but was talking about topics that had nothing to do with tonight.
"How do I know? I'm not a weatherman." Charlize didn't even pick up his eyelids, and he just complained.
Hugo pursed his lips without refuting, lowered his head and took another sip of milk. After looking at him, he saw that there was a cup on the ground. It was a wide-mouth deep tea cup, with a dark ball inside, emitting a smoky mist, which looked really confusing, "What is that?"
Charlize followed Hugo's gaze and looked down, "Oh, tea." Hugo turned his head to look at Charlize for the first time. At this time, Charlize had finished removing his makeup. His long golden hair was tied into a loose bun, and he was covered in a blanket, and he curled up in the corner. Charlize seemed to notice Hugo's gaze and rolled his eyes unhappily, "I know, this is not my style, it was given to me by Mr. Perfect, and I thought maybe you would like it."
"Mr. Perfection gave it to you? Do you carry it with you tonight?" Hugo frowned and showed an incredible expression.
Charlize drooped his head and glanced at Hugo, "I don't like it, so I put the tea in your cabinet, and my tea can was replaced with coffee beans. If he checked it, I would tell him that I'm done."
Hugo's lips raised slightly helplessly, "You know, if you don't like it, you can throw it away directly, or hide it in the corner of your cabinet." Hugo said here, Charlize rolled his eyes next to him, with an impatient expression, and Hugo didn't continue, "You know, you have changed a lot. I saw a book of Greek mythology in your backpack."
Charlize never likes ancient Greek mythology because she believes that those myths all advocate the spirit of machismo, which is an insult to women. Hugo noticed many details, not just tea and books. For example, Charlize likes beer, but when Mr. Perfect was on the scene, Charlize often drank red wine.
Charlize pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Uh... that's Mr. Perfect too."
As soon as Charlize finished speaking, he seemed to notice Hugo's joking eyes. She couldn't help but raise her hands and express her surrender, "Don't criticize me, although I don't like it, but... this is a normal and stable relationship, isn't it? You know, we always have to learn to compromise and sacrifice. Mr. Perfect is a good man."
Hugo retracted his gaze and smiled, "I think a truly normal and stable relationship is not about learning to compromise or sacrifice, but about learning to be tolerant and considerate."
After Hugo said the words, they dissipated in the sea breeze. Charlize did not respond, and Hugo did not continue to speak, and the two of them returned to quiet again.
After a long time, Charlize said, "Maybe you should call Cameron and she can help you share some pressure. This is the function of a normal relationship, isn't it? Share something together." This is the only thing Charlize said to "comfort" Hugo after coming up.
Hugo's lips curled slightly, and a little laughter came out, but he didn't answer, just calming the atmosphere again.
The raging sea breeze became more and more rampant, almost making people feel like they were about to be blown away. The heavy night brought out huge waves, and the calm sea began to roar, but this made the quiet between Hugo and Charlize appear deeper. Suddenly, all the commotion stopped, the sea breeze stopped, the sea stopped, the night stopped... Then...
With a "huh", a golden light tore through the black night without warning. The faint gold was so thin, but so dazzling, which made Hugo and Charlize hold their breath in an instant. Then, one, two golden lights were like sharp daggers, and then began to tear the heavy night sky. In a blink of an eye, the entire sky began to tear apart from the sea level, and a large hole was directly pulled out. You could see the golden fireball climbing up little by little, and the heavy night sky pressed tightly on the fireball, but the fireball still couldn't stop it from starting to push up at a distance visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, all the pressure reached the balance point, and then the fireball suddenly broke free from the sea level and jumped up. The already fragmented night was completely torn apart in an instant, and the thick black fog disappeared in an instant. The whole sky turned into navy blue, but in a blink of an eye, the color began to lighten. Before a breath could be changed, the whole sky was rendered into a shallow red by the golden color.
The red, clear sky is completely reflected in bright and bright red, which is in sharp contrast with the dark night that has not completely disappeared at the far end, and is finally projected on the endless sea that is placed down. The dazzling morning light spreads out on the entire calm sea like a carpet. The sparkling sea surface looks crystal clear blue, like a peerless treasure. The thrilling beauty has made all languages lose their color.
The long night finally ended. When the first ray of morning light came, the dark night shrouded in the northern hemisphere gradually faded, and then everyone spread their arms to welcome a brand new day.
"Wow, this is priceless, isn't it?" Charlize couldn't help but exclaim softly.
