Chapter 180 180 Lonely Christmas

Hugo only felt breathless. Every time he spoke with his father, he was like this. In addition to quarrels, he quarrels seemed to have become the main theme of their father-son relationship. This time, because of Christmas, it seemed to have reached a peak again.

Adam's words just now revealed too many messages. For example, the marriage between Adam and Lina was not happy, and Lina seemed to be used to pushing all the mistakes on Adam, and their separation was not pleasant. But the problem is that from Adam's tone, it can be vaguely guessed that Hugo seemed to have a better relationship with Lina. After Lina left, the father-son relationship became very bad, but why did Hugo have no contact with Lina?

For example, the relationship between Hugo and Adam has always been very bad. It seems that Adam took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Hugo before, but Hugo, who was young and frivolous, didn't buy it at all. Of course, judging from Adam's style, it is estimated that the olive branch is also rough and obscure. Perhaps Hugo did not understand his father's intention at all. Therefore, in recent years, Hugo and Adam have basically just talked, and they may have gone home in a handful of times.

Why do you do this? You are obviously the only family member of each other, but you are unwilling to sit down and have a good conversation. Instead, you use coldness and confrontation again and again to hurt your family's emotions. In this world, those who can hurt you will always be the ones you love. Strangers can give you physical wounds, but the psychological scars will only come from the person you love deeply.

Perhaps, Hugo and Adam will form such a stubborn barrier because they care about each other's family. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment and the deeper the harm.

Hugo remembered the situation with his family before traveling through time. In fact, he was the same at that time, using coldness and confrontation to hurt each other. But the problem was that it was too late to understand this truth now. Chen Hugo no longer had the chance to save all this, but Hugo Lancaster still had it. Thinking of this, Hugo's heart was empty, like an unfathomable cliff. He tried to land, but he could not find the limit there. The chill that rushed up made Hugo shudder one by one.

In the end, Hugo did not go home because he knew that if he came home rashly, he would only backfire. If he wanted to improve his relationship with Adam, he could only do it step by step. This was a Long March, and now, he has not even started.

On Christmas Day, Hugo and Ernst on the second floor were left in the entire building. Everyone else went home to celebrate Christmas. Hugo took the initiative to say hello to Ernst, but unfortunately he had a hot face and cold butt. Ernst had no intention of paying attention to him at all. Despite this, Hugo still prepared a Christmas gift for Ernst, not because he was too kind, but because he was just celebrating Christmas alone now, with no relatives or friends, and Hugo didn't know much about decorating Christmas trees, so there was no Christmas atmosphere at home except for three red Christmas stockings.

Especially when he thought of his relationship with Adam, Ernst was alone. Hugo didn't know whether Ernst had a family or had children, because during the year he came to live, he almost didn't see any visitors from Ernst. No matter Ernst's temper or whether Ernst had family, at least, he shouldn't be alone on this Christmas day. So Hugo decided to give Ernst a Christmas gift, at least there was a little festive atmosphere.

When the midnight bell rang, Ernst opened the door of the room and saw the red Christmas stockings placed at the door, muttering "annoying guy", followed by a series of curses, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the Christmas stockings into the room.

Hugo curled up on the billiard table in the hall wrapped in a quilt, looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling glass window, watching the gorgeous lights of the whole city flashing hazy in the night, and finally extinguished little by little with the passage of time, and then fell into a soft tranquility. The sound of the special programs of the TV station in the hall was still ringing, but Hugo had no intention of watching these programs.

A year passed in a blink of an eye. People say that they miss their relatives more during festivals. Although Christmas is not a traditional Chinese festival, and Hugo's skin is no longer a yellow person, today he still misses his friends who have been glorious until death and his parents who have not met for ten years.

Hugo's life seems to be booming this year. In the year-end box office rankings in 1992, both of Hugo's movies ranked in the top 20.

Although Disney classic animation "Aladdin" has always been suppressed by "Yihai Xiongfeng", its long-term sales ability is amazing. In the end, it became the year-end box office champion in 1992 with a data of 217 million; although "Hometown 2" has a reputation far inferior to the first part and its box office has shrunk a lot, it still became the year-end runner-up with $173 million; "Yihai Xiongfeng", which has fallen below the glasses of countless people by strong explosive power, was three million behind and ranked third in the 1992 box office list!

This box office list must have been something that most people did not expect, and the strength of "Yihai Heroes" has become a microcosm of Hugo this year.

Behind "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Batman Returns", "Deadly Weapon 3", "Nuns are also crazy", "Body Guards", "Anti-Wisdom Stars", "Ben. Candid", "A.league.of.their.own", and "unfiven" ranked fourth to eleven respectively. At the same time, these eleven works are also works with a box office of over 100 million in North America this year.

In addition, "Smelling the Fragrance" who won the box office of 80 million US dollars ranked behind "Vampire Zombies' Four Hundred Years of Fear", ranking 16th.

This year's topical work includes the animation masterpiece "Aladdin", which has triggered countless taboo discussions and the "Yihai Hei Feng" who is not optimistic about completing the Jedi counterattack. These three movies have joined forces to form the film map in 1992, and a series of sequels including "Home Imperial 2", "Batman Returns", and "Deadly Weapon 3" are not satisfactory, which also highlights the rare performance of Hugo's two movies.

It can be imagined that after experiencing three consecutive years of lows and the shame of the Golden Raspberry Awards, people were surprised by Hugo's performance after the year-end list came out. Look at the compact and intensive publicity itinerary at the end of the year and the praises from major news media, you can see it. 1992 can be regarded as a special year for Hugo. From the Golden Raspberry Awards at the beginning of the year to the proud end of the year, Hugo experienced a roller coaster-like year.

The two movies "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" have achieved both a win-win reputation and box office, especially the third place in the year-end box office rankings of "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is an unprecedented height. The two months of continuous efforts at the end of the year also marked that Hugo officially entered the ranks of first-tier actors from the second-tier, sweeping away the decadent state of the past three years, making people begin to look forward to his future performance.

This is not only a victory in 1992, but also a victory in Hugo Lancaster's ten-year career as an actor, but also a victory in Chen Hugo's ten-year struggle and a year of struggle after traveling through time. This hard-won victory made Hugo feel deeply moved.

Logically speaking, Hugo should be excited about the achievements of this year, and the fact is that he is indeed very happy, because it is all achieved through his own efforts and struggle. Hugo knew the hard work and persistence of the whole process, and the happiness in his heart was even more surging. But on Christmas Eve, Hugo was not happy at all because he was alone.

It has nothing to do with Uma, Charlize, Joseph and other friends, but it has nothing to do with their family. Christmas was supposed to be the day for family reunion, but Hugo sat alone in a rental house in Los Angeles looking at the stars outside the window and on the table. Chinese food takeaway was placed there quietly. Not only was he unable to sit at the same table with his father for dinner, but he still had no contact with his mother. Hugo even began to doubt whether his speculation had been wrong.

Is there a bad relationship between my predecessor and my mother Lina? Or is it because my father forced the connection between her mother and herself, which led to the deterioration of the relationship between Hugo and her father? Otherwise, there is still something unknown secret...

Hugo had no clues, so he could only follow the bloody route in the soap opera, making his already irritable mind even more unclear. Life was already chaotic enough, with trivial things like Lang Meyer and Tracy Jacobs coming out one after another; now there is a family relationship that is endless and chaotic. What's even more terrifying is that Hugo has no idea now, so he can only stand in place with his hands and feet, not daring to take any steps at will, for fear of stepping on some unknown landmines.

Hugo began to miss his life traveling through the past. If it was Christmas 2014, what would he do? He should continue to perform at a party with his friends who had gloriously died, or on the road to another performance; then he should hesitate to call his home, but eventually give up because their home is Christmas; then, they might be booed at a party, but they would continue to stand on the stage without hesitation; and then they would ride in the back of a truck, singing loudly to the bitter wind to drive away the cold...

When the bell rings at midnight, Hugo whispers to herself, "Merry Christmas." Then, in his heart, he silently said in Chinese, "Merry Christmas, Chen Hugo."

In a daze, Hugo fell asleep. He had a very long dream. He dreamed of glory until his death and stepped onto the stage of the Midi Rock Music Festival. He dreamed that he and his parents met again after ten years. He dreamed that he returned to his arms in 2014. There was sunshine, music, laughter, friends, and relatives...
