Chapter 178 Chapter 178
After finishing the whole day of shooting, Charlize returned home with Carl and walked to the third floor. She was about to take out the key and open the door. Carl, who was standing behind and was about to say goodbye, suddenly patted her head, "Charlize, shh." This made Charlize stop in place, and then Carl pointed upstairs and whispered, "Follow me upstairs."
Charlize frowned, "I want to go back and take a hot shower and then go to bed." Although that was the case, she followed Carl's footsteps and walked up to the fourth floor. "Is there anything else?" Charlize rubbed his tired temples and asked, but when the door on the fourth floor opened, Charlize saw Alex and Joseph sitting in front of the living room TV 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 twelve:30, Charlize obviously didn't understand what was going on, "Who can explain it to me?"
Alex and Joseph, who were playing the game, naturally had no time to speak, but Carl said, "Uma arranged a program for Hugo on the third floor tonight. Please let us avoid it."
"Uma? Hugo?" Charlize was stunned, looking back at the door, moving his footsteps a little, but stopped. After working for a day today, Charlize's brain was a little slow, but now he also reacted. Uma prepared a special event for Hugo, so he asked them to help. This was normal for his friends.
"Everyone is friends, it doesn't matter if you help." Alex's voice sounded beside him. Charlize lowered his eyes and savored the sentence carefully. A bitter curve appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth, but then disappeared, and then a smile appeared completely, "Hugo, I'm so tired and can't go back to my room. It seems that Hugo owes me a hearty meal."
Then Charlize walked to the sofa in the center of the hall and sat down heavily, relaxing his tired limbs. The decoration on the fourth floor is as simple as the third floor, but it is also full of manly atmosphere. For example, the tan sofa Charlize is lying on is an old furniture picked up from the street, but the comfort is still very good, but there are magazines, clothes, two beer cans, a dumbbell and a slipper, which is really unbearable.
Charlize growled in annoyance, "You did it on purpose!" What Charlize couldn't stand the most was this chaos, and the hidden ones were even more terrible. But she was really tired now and really didn't have the energy to sort out.
Hearing this, Carl couldn't help but smile, "You don't sleep here, just take a break, don't organize it. I think you can go downstairs in half an hour at most, just do it like that."
"Feast? That's too cheap." Alex finally 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 gift is good." Alex said happily.
"Brick?" Charlize also forced himself to turn his attention away from the sofa and looked in the direction Alex pointed, and indeed saw a brick. "Is this... a mobile phone? It's much smaller than what I saw last time." Charlize had seen this kind of thing once when he was in the modeling company, but the size was obviously much larger at that time.
"Yes, this is the latest model, Hugo bought us a gift," Alex said happily. "That's mine, yours is in your room, but they are all the same ones, you can learn to use it."
"It turns out that he had planned a long time ago." Charlize looked at the brick in his hand and muttered in a low voice. Joseph seemed to hear a few words and turned around and asked "what". Charlize quickly shook his head, "No, nothing." Then he let out a long sigh, his expression relaxed, "How to use this?" Although he was still very tired, the excitement of contact with emerging things still relieved Charlize's fatigue a lot.
"I have it too?" Carl sat down next to the sofa with surprise, looking at the turn of Charlize's hand, Joseph pointed to the big box on the table, "That's yours", and Carl immediately picked up the box, "Wow, that's really thank you Hugo. Is this something useful? How effective is the call?"
"Just try." Alex paused the game and stood up happily. "Hugo saved all our phone numbers. You call me and I'll go to the room to see what the effect is."
"But, where to check the phone number?" Carl and Charlize looked at each other. Although there seemed to be not so many buttons on this brick, it was really a worry about how to use it.
Joseph also stood up and laughed out loud, "Hugo has studied it all, he has taught me."
A group of people were sitting here experimenting with new phones, feeling very novel, and the passage of time became less obvious. Until the door on the fourth floor was opened by the key again, the sound of opening the door immediately made the four people in the room frightened and turned their heads to look at the door. It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and the surroundings were completely quiet. Even the sound of the engine whistling by the sports car would cause a burst of echo, so the sound of the key opening the door became more and more abrupt, making people feel creepy.
The door was pushed open, and a tall and strong man appeared in everyone's sight, with neatly trimmed beards and neat short hair, and a tough style hit her face.
"Oh, it's you, I'm back!" Carl was relieved when he saw the visitor, and Joseph also raised his hand and waved it, saying hello.
The man simply nodded and said nothing. Even if he had said hello, his steps did not stop and walked towards his room with big strides. The pair of high-top black military boots collided with a dull sound on the concrete floor, and then ended with the dull sound of the room door closing, which made the hall calm again.
"Who?" Alex asked, and Charlize also looked at Carl, expressing his curiosity about Alex's problem.
"Our roommate seems to be called Drop Neil, right?" Carl cast a confirmation look at Joseph and received a positive reply, "German. I didn't expect that he would come back so early today."
"I said, why do you speak in a low voice?" Joseph's words seemed a little abrupt, making Carl, Charlize and Alex 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 Ernst, why do we have to whisper so low?"
Only then did Alex and Carl realize that they had lowered their voices unknowingly, as if they were worried about disturbing others. Now that Joseph had made this point, both of them couldn't help but chuckle. Although Charlize didn't speak, she found that she didn't realize anything abnormal, as if they were talking in a low voice as if it was natural. Now that Joseph had said it bluntly, she realized this.
Charlize couldn't help but look back at the tightly closed bedroom door. Although he had just met this roommate named Drop Neal, his resolute temperament really left a deep impression on people, so that Alex subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Don't worry, he doesn't mind others making noises. I guess it's because of drumming..." Carl said very seriously, then pointed to his ears, as if saying that his roommate's hearing deteriorated due to drumming, which made the other three roll their eyes at the same time. Even if the band drummer's ears were affected, it would be an impact over the years. Drop Neal just now didn't look that old.
Carl didn't notice that he was being criticized by the three of them, so he retracted his attention and continued, "Charlize, you and Alex go downstairs. Now Hugo and Uma have used up the hall. You go back and wash and have a break early. Charlize has a scene tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning."
Charlize stood up and stretched, "Anyway, we have tried our best. If Hugo and Uma still haven't solved it, then we have no choice, right?" It's already past one o'clock in the morning, and everything that should be romantic has been finished. If it's not romantic yet, the enthusiasm has cooled down almost.
Although he said so, Charlize and Alex tried to lighten his hands and feet when he went downstairs. When he entered the hall, he only saw the faint candlelight in the kitchen. After confirming that Hugo and Uma were not in the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief. Alex whispered to Charlize, "You go and wash first, you have to wake up early tomorrow, I don't need to."
Charlize nodded, tiptoed back to the room to get the clothes to change, and then tiptoed into the bathroom, and even tried to avoid making more noises when bathing. After all, I don't want to get away from Hugo's room here. As friends, that's all they can do.
Charlize was still thinking seriously whether she should change the room with Hugo. After all, if Uma often comes here in the future, it would be much more convenient for them to live alone in relatively remote spaces. However, Charlize shook his head and denied this idea. If Uma and Hugo wanted a separate space, then the shared house would not be destined to get the ideal result. Maybe going to Uma's residence is a good choice.
While thinking about it, Charlize washed up briefly, and after coming out, he gently knocked on Alex's room door, signaling Alex to wash up. Alex couldn't help laughing when he looked at Charlize, who was walking on tiptoe. The two people's eyes touched each other. Alex pointed to Hugo's room, pointed to the mobile phone that he was playing with, and then spread his hands and shrugged, as if saying: This mobile phone is quite expensive, so let's sacrifice a little more.
This expression immediately made Charlize happy and showed a big smile. But after laughing, Charlize deliberately flattened his heels and took two steps on his slippers. But unexpectedly, the sound of the slippers and cement floors was unexpectedly loud, and even echoed in the hall, which scared Charlize, making her stiff in place, and then slowly tiptoed.
Alex also grinned and stood there. He was obviously frightened by the sound. After he returned to calm, he saw Charlize's zombie-like posture and almost burst into laughter. In the quiet moments of the night, especially when his roommate had a special task, holding his laughter was really hard!
