Tom in front of him looked longer than James, with less handsomeness from James between his eyebrows and more unruly and casual, but when he smiled, he was almost exactly the same as James. His strange and familiar smile made Hugo extremely panicked.

"Uh, Hugo, sorry, I'm Hugo." Hugo only felt that his brain reaction seemed a little slow and could not keep up with the change of the entire rhythm. He forced himself to concentrate, reached out and grabbed Tom's right hand, and briefly introduced himself.

"This name seems to be very popular in recent years." Tom said with a smile. He didn't seem to recognize Hugo, nor did he have any special associations, but just sighed simply. Hugo only felt that the stubble on his chin was itchy. He was once again glad that he hadn't shaved off his beard recently.

Hugo pulled the corner of his mouth, but found that his smile was very far-fetched, "Maybe there are more French people suddenly." Hugo's cold joke made Tom stunned, and then laughed heartily, giving Hugo a look of "This joke is great". But Hugo couldn't relax and laughed, just laughed dryly, "Dave's knees, remember to apply some red potion when you go back. Of course, it's best not to touch your pants..."

"Otherwise my mother will find out." Tom took the second half of the sentence and said with annoyance, "Isn't band-mouthing a sticker possible? I want to be simpler."

Hugo shrugged, "Of course, band-tips are OK, but remember to clean the wound." Looking back at Dave, who was already smiling, Hugo felt a little itchy in his throat. He coughed twice, but it still didn't relieve it. "So, your mother, ah? You can hear that your mother seems very...uh...good."

"Yes, yes." Tom showed a bright smile on his face, "My mother should be the best mother in the world," but after saying that, he showed a apologetic expression to Hugo, "I have no intention of offense." He said that he did not mean to belittle Hugo's mother, but this made the embarrassment at the corner of Hugo's mouth settle deep in his heart, and the bitterness on the tip of his tongue rose again.

"You know, my mother devoted almost all her time to our brothers. By the way, I have an older brother, but he didn't come here today. It seems that some things in the school have not been resolved. We went out to celebrate Dave's twelfth birthday today. She was always willing to fully support our choice. When I was in the eighth grade, I escaped the boring Spanish class to watch the street art exhibition. As a result, she was called to the school and the teacher condemned her, but she said respecting my choice and she thought I should do what I wanted to do. The expression of the Spanish teacher at that time was so funny. So, later she held an art exhibition for me and invited the Spanish teacher to come and watch it. I could see the proud flaunting expression on her face. That might be the happiest moment for me at the moment."

Tom said in a nagging manner, and when he was happy, he clapped his own way. It can be seen that there was a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

Hugo was stunned, looking at Tom in front of him without soul, because he was so obsessed with his ears that he could not react at all, and he didn't know what to react, and his whole brain was blank. He could clearly hear every word of Tom and know the meaning of Tom's words, but he could not react, just like an idiot.

"Oh, sorry, I seem to be a little out of control." Tom noticed Hugo's trance eyes, realized his misconduct, and quickly apologized to tell that his etiquette was well educated. "But you really look like a kind person. I like your smile. If you have the chance, maybe I hope to be able to draw a portrait of you."

"No, it's okay, I mean, thank you for your praise." Hugo's words seemed a little broken, and he squeezed out a light smile, "So, you said you have another brother, three brothers, clams? It should be very lively, right?" Hugo looked at Dave, who was sitting next to him, focusing on fiddling with the racing model, but felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in his chest, which almost made him unable to breathe.

"Yes, James, he is the best one in our family. If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to UCLA to study. You should really see how my mother shows off him, just like crazy pride. Last week was James' high school graduation ceremony, and my mother was preparing three days in advance. Not only did she attend the show that day, but for God's sake, she also rented a camera. She has recorded the whole process until now. When James came on stage to receive her graduation certificate, she actually cried. I was moved. He said that he was crying and made all his makeup so he was embarrassed. Hahaha. James has been an excellent person since he was a child. My mother has never missed all his activities and ceremonies. I even doubted whether Dave and she adopted him. Not long ago, at dinner, James revealed that he seemed to be quite interested in the actor industry. If you were on the scene, you would be frightened by my mother's tears. I almost thought James said he was going to land on the moon."

Tom's speech was not fast, full of self-taught and black humor, and he almost didn't need Hugo's reaction at all, so he could be overjoyed.

Hugo stood there like this, quietly lit his chin, opened his mouth slightly, but found that the turbulent waves in his heart made him unable to say anything, even a word. He couldn't even suppress himself and clenched his right fist slightly. In order to hide his emotions, Hugo had to put his right hand behind him, and then tried to pretend to be a calm expression and listen to Tom's words.

"Oh, God, my problem has happened again. James always said that I had communication cravings. For God's sake, it wasn't because he took away all the time to talk secrets with his mother." Tom also noticed Hugo's slightly strange expression. Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, he realized that he shouldn't continue talking anymore, so he stretched out his right hand again, "Anyway, I must thank you for your help. You saved my day. If my mother saw Dave's tears, I would not have had a good time today."

Hugo looked at Tom's right hand and slowly loosened his clenched right fist, but the stiff muscles made his right hand look a little strange. Then he quickly clenched Tom's right hand and put his right hand on the edge of his thigh as if calm. But he still couldn't suppress the surging inside, and put his right hand behind him again and clenched tightly.

"Dave, let's go, otherwise Mom will be angry when she sees us missing for so long." Tom said loudly, Dave stood up, smiled brightly at Hugo, thanked him again, and then ran away quickly. Tom looked at Dave's back, followed quickly, grabbed Dave's collar, and then the two of them took steps forward and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Hugo gritted his teeth and walked two steps in place, but found that he was just wandering around in circles, like a beast trapped in a cage. His anger had risen to his mind. Almost realized that there was a warm feeling in his eyes before, he had to clench his right hand fiercely. The sharp stinging pain of his fingernails piercing into his palm made his mind clear, but tears still overflowed from his eyes and caught off guard. Hugo wiped all the water vapor in his eyes with his fist, and took great steps, leaving the place where the crew was, and leaving the noisy place where the crowd was.

The right fist began to tremble because he tried too hard, but it was still useless. He only felt that the muscles on his body were trembling, but the storm in his heart still could not calm down. He could not forgive Lina, he could not forgive Lina, nor did he want to forgive Lina. He didn't want to hurt himself, but he just couldn't control it. The anger in his heart was like a tsunami, which made him feel like he was on the verge of an explosion. The extreme emotions almost made him lose control.

Hugo's pace became faster and faster, and finally walked to the edge of the valley. Looking at the bustling metropolis in front of him, the noisy crowd behind him had gradually faded away. The empty vision finally made his emotions completely out of control. Then he shouted angrily towards the valley, and all the negative emotions in his heart were released to his fullest, but even so, he still clenched his fists tightly until his strength was about to disappear.

When she left, he was only eight years old, even younger than Dave, but she never worried about whether he could be independent; when he left home, he was only fourteen years old, struggling in Los Angeles without any support, and everything needed to depend on himself; when he was struggling on the edge of life and death in a car accident, no one could not inform him, and his vague pain left knee still reminded him of this fact; after he became an actor, he eagerly called for her appearance, but it was not only disappointment, but also pain...

In the face of her happiness and joy, Adam's persistence and maintenance seemed like a joke. Adam carried all the complaints and hatred for her. When he called his mother deeply in the media, when he accused Adam for his mother, when Adam saw that he was sad because of missing his mother, when he hated Adam and regarded her as the only hope... How much torture was Adam endured, and what kind of weight was Adam carrying.

He hated himself and hated her even more. He was not worthy of Adam, nor was he worthy of himself. This anger almost swallowed Hugo. He had never hated someone so much. This emotion reached an extreme that was beyond reach, so that he hoped to erase this memory and never know the truth of the matter.

She shouldn't have appeared, she shouldn't have appeared.
