1981 Chapter 1981
"Do you remember that after you came back from a date with Hugo, you hid in the bathroom and cried bitterly, and then Hugo called?" Terra thought Hugo and Charlize had already made everything open, so she explained with a confusion expression, "Hugo called to apologize at that time. He said that he went to the hospital because he was uncomfortable, so he left early and left you alone in the hotel. I thought it was just an excuse at the time. This excuse was really too bad, and he was not willing to think of a more convincing excuse carefully."
Charlize frowned slightly, and her memory was a little blurred. It was already six years ago, as if it had been a century. However, with Terra's words, the memory was awakened bit by bit. She vaguely remembered that Hugo did call to apologize, but she did not receive the call. Terra just conveyed his apology. Then the two broke off contact, and when they met again a few months later, he had already started dating Uma.
"But later, after I went to Paris, I occasionally read an exclusive interview about Hugo. He mentioned that he had experienced a very painful period of poison and withdrawal. During that period, he was often tortured by his body and became unconscious, and his life became very bad." Terra said of her own speculation, "I thought about it carefully, it should be the time when he dated you. So, I was wondering if it was the sudden withdrawal reaction that night. In order to avoid destroying your image in front of you, I went to the hospital early and left you alone. But I didn't realize this at the time, and thought Hugo was just lying and making excuses. You were very sad, so I didn't mention the incident of him going to the hospital, just saying that he came to apologize."
Speaking of this, Terra looked Charlize carefully, but found that the palm-sized cheek was slightly white. She couldn't help biting the tip of her tongue, "Don't you... don't you know?" After realizing this possibility, Terra couldn't help but take a breath, "Oh, sorry, Sally, I'm really sorry, it's my fault, it's definitely my fault. It's my own decision, which led to the misunderstanding between you..."
Charlize was in a trough of loss at that time. Although even if Terra conveyed Hugo's words in full, she might not believe that as Terra said, the excuse was really bad; but it was true, because Terra's short version of the message made Charlize feel even more sad at that time, and completely changed his view of Hugo, which led to the two people drifting apart.
A misunderstanding of passing the message led the two people to completely different directions.
Charlize was stunned. Her mind was blank, she had no thoughts or emotions. The only thing she could react was that Hugo was indeed in the period of withdrawal reaction at that time, because even when she lived in Sunset Square later, Hugo's withdrawal reaction did not completely disappear. It can be imagined that on the night they were together, Hugo's withdrawal reaction should have been so violent and serious.
But as for what this small misunderstanding means? Charlize had no idea at all. She didn't even have time to think about this issue. She just completely fucked her brain and carefully recalled the distant memory segments. She tried to piece together the scenes at that time again.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Charlize heard Terra's words and got out of his blank brain, then pulled out a smile and shook his head, but even so Terra still had a guilty expression on his face. Charlize had to say seriously, "I mean, Hugo and I are friends, and we have been like this for years. We get along well in the position of friends..." Charlize paused, with a bigger smile on his lips, quietly covering the bitterness of his tongue, "Believe me, if something really happened to us, maybe we can't be friends now."
Terra looked at Charlize carefully, and her expression became a little unpredictable. After all, she had been absent from the six years. She didn't know what happened between Charlize and Hugo. But after hearing Charlize say this, she could only curl her smile embarrassedly, "Who can tell the truth?"
Charlize cheered up again and said to Terra with a smile, "This is your first time here today. Although I have only been there for the third time, maybe I can be your tour guide. How about you? Are you planning to stroll around here with me?"
Charlize took Terra to visit the Sunset Tower Hotel. I don’t know how long it took, but Charlize didn’t even remember how she and Terra separated. When she came to her senses, she sat quietly next to the beach chair under the palm trees, holding a blue cocktail in her hand and a small plate of bananas next to it.
Charlize thought about it carefully and then remembered that in order to wear the close-fitting dress at the awards ceremony today, she had not eaten all day, so she took a little fruit to replenish her energy, and the cocktail in her hand was the one she picked up when chatting with Tom Hanks just now.
He put the cocktail glass aside, picked up a banana, and stuffed it into his mouth. But Charlize couldn't notice the banana at all, and just chewed it unconsciously. At this time, Charlize's brain was still blank, and he was completely empty, thinking about anything, just staring blank.
Suddenly, Charlize's chewing action stopped, and an idea popped up in her mind, "That's a misunderstanding". Then, the idea took root and sprouted like the magic bean in the fairy tale "Jack and the Magic Bean", and then began to thrive irresistibly until she broke through the sky and turned the whole world in her mind. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color.
Charlize couldn't understand Hugo's farewell without saying goodbye. She even began to doubt Hugo's character. Because Hugo's farewell without saying goodbye was not a gentleman's job. It was like a bad man who ran away after doing bad things, as if he was just trying to hook her up and lead her without making any moves, but after succeeding, the newly sprouted love was directly strangled into the cradle.
In fact, after becoming friends with Hugo, Charlize knew that Hugo was not such a person, and he didn't look like a man who fled in a hurry after eating dry food. She always suspected that there must be a misunderstanding behind that matter. She wanted to chat with Hugo many times about jokingly, but she still couldn't speak. Because Charlize didn't know what she should ask, what to ask, and what to do even after the result was found... What's more, Hugo already has a dating partner, so did she, and they also became friends. Even if they knew that it was a misunderstanding, what could they change?
So, things are left alone.
But today, the truth was revealed without warning. But... but so what if it was revealed? So what if it was a misunderstanding at the beginning? Will everything be different after knowing the truth? Should she rush up and hug Hugo now and stage the happy ending of a vulgar and romantic love movie? Even if it is a misunderstanding, what should they do? What should they do?
Six years have passed, and so many things have changed. He is still him, she is still her, but they are no longer what they were in the past.
Over the years, too many things have happened between them. They have become closer and closer, but there have been too many accidents. It seems that the two of them are always not at the right time or the right place. The misses again and again made the throbbing again and again turn into normal times. The fatigue afterwards gradually calmed down the passion, and then they stick to their friends' position and continue to move forward side by side. Perhaps, this is their position, the most suitable position for them.
They are friends. As she told Terra just now, they are indeed friends. She doesn't want to change this situation because she can't bear the pain of losing him. Just thinking about it, she feels that the whole world is falling apart, and she can't imagine how her life will become after losing him as a friend.
So, the truth doesn't mean anything, just like what she said to Terra just now, it doesn't make any sense to know the truth now. This is the right decision, this is the wise decision, this is the decision that should have been. Right! Right?
They are friends, they are indeed friends, they should be friends.
Charlize nodded slightly, clenched his fists hard, and gave himself a positive answer. Then she began to chew the banana in her mouth again, trying to calm down her surging emotions, but why did she always feel her chest was stuffy?
Charlize couldn't help but clench his fist and beat his chest. His posture was very indecent, not as ill as Xi Shi's pathological tenderness, and he was as rough as some lumberjacks. However, the banging sound kept echoing in his chest, but he still couldn't breathe. This made Charlize frown slightly, and hurriedly picked up the cocktail beside him and took a big sip, but because he drank too quickly, he was choked directly.
"Cough cough, cough cough..." The cough became more and more severe, as if he was about to cough out his entire lungs. Charlize felt the hot tears in his eyes slid down like this. She slapped her chest hard, trying to stop the damn cough, but she could not stop it. The hot tears were so hot that it directly burned her cheeks and her lips, making her curl up.
"What's wrong with you? Is it okay? Why do you look so pale?" A voice came from the direction of the palm tree behind you. Charlize suddenly looked up and saw a halo. Then, Leonardo's figure appeared in front of Charlize.
