Alan Strello stood by the swimming pool with champagne, his tongue felt a little bitter. Although he had already thought about it, the best result for him and Hugo to be friends was, and he had already restrained his other ideas, just as a friend, waiting by Hugo silently; but at this moment, seeing that Hugo finally found his happiness, the internal mess still surged, which made him a little at a loss.

I picked up the whiskey in my hand and drank it all in one sip. The hot alcohol enema came down, but it still couldn't cover up the bitterness of the tip of my tongue.

"Hey, Allen." Seeing Hugo coming towards him, Allen suddenly raised his head, packed up his emotions, and showed a bright smile, "You actually came here to join in the fun. I thought only Leo and the others were interested in the party." It was said that it was a party, but in fact there were less than a dozen people. It was just a group of friends gathered together to have a barbecue party. It did not really show off and maintained Hugo's usual low-keyness.

Alan could clearly feel the aura around Hugo with a faint joy, not the kind of unrestrained and outspoken heat, but just as light as the warm sun. On the surface, Hugo was no different from usual, but it could make people clearly feel his sunshine.

"The most important partner has done such a shocking event. I didn't witness it on the scene. It's a huge regret. How could I miss the party tonight again?" Allen chuckled and joked that everyone present was real good friends. Hugo and Charlize were both teased by everyone, which made Hugo a little unable to withstand it. Now even Allen is teasing like this. Hugo scratched his head helplessly, speechless.

Seeing Hugo like this, Alan laughed sincerely, "To be honest, did you do it on purpose?" Hugo didn't understand this sentence and couldn't help but be stunned. Alan continued, "United Methodist Church? The location of the last scene of the 'graduate'?"

In fact, Allen has a very limited understanding of movies, and he has never watched the movie "Graduate", but tonight, Allen also found it incredible. Fate often reveals its shadow so quietly.

Who would have thought that Hugo really arrived at the scene like Benjamin in the "graduate", and won back his beloved woman with his sincerity. The two of them went away together. Charlize's joke when he learned that the wedding was held at United Methodist Church became a reality. Many times, people always say that the stories in the movie are too exaggerated and unrealistic, but the fact is that life is always more bloody than movies, and compared to life, the movie world is really too simple.

Hugo couldn't help but chuckled and spread his hands, "Believe me, I really don't have any plans. If possible, I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the 'graduate', because in the movie, two people travel far away will be the finale, but in life, this is just the beginning."

Perhaps, it is precisely because of no plan and such coincidence that everything becomes perfect. The right time, the right place, the right one another is like fate but also like life.

"Yes, this is just the beginning." Allen nodded slightly, and the curve of the corners of his mouth slowly outlined. "I originally wanted to talk to you about business today, but tonight is a carnival time, so we won't talk about work for the time being. I'll come to you tomorrow."

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, just come here tomorrow. I'll enjoy the wine and food tonight."

Allen pursed his lips, "There are still good times." As he spoke, Allen's eyes fell on Charles not far away.

At this time, Charlize was wearing a simple T-shirt with jeans and a knitted jacket, rolled up the sleeves of the jacket, and his long golden hair was simply tied up with a shark clip. Standing in front of the barbecue grill, Sandra and Sandra were busy distributing the barbecue made by Samora. There was no beautiful posture, but it was precisely this lifelike appearance that made people unable to move their sight.

Charlize raised his head, and the eyes of the two intersected gently in the air, and then they showed similar smiles. Hugo's curvature gently raised the corners of his mouth, "Let's go, let's go together. If it's a little later, Leo and Joe won't give us anything left." This sentence made Allen laugh and walked side by side with Hugo in the direction of the barbecue grill.

"Sandra, you are the protagonist today." Leonardo's voice came in the wind. Obviously, Sandra, who successfully played the role of matchmaker today, attracted everyone's attention. Leonardo came to Sandra with two glasses of tequila, "You must drink this glass, so that we can also feel the power of Cupid."

Sandra looked at Leonardo with a helpless expression. She originally thought that everyone would feed Hugo and Charlize today, but she didn't expect that everyone would target Sandra, as if Sandra was the real protagonist. She had drunk a lot just now and felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She ran over to avoid drinking, and then she was busy with Charlize, but Leonardo still chased after her.

Sandra picked up a plate of steak and sausage in her hand, "Leo! If you continue to make trouble, I will throw this into the sea directly, and you will still be proud!"

Sandra's threat caused everyone to scream, but Samora immediately snatched the plate from Sandra and said in a whisper, "No, no, no, you must not joke about food." Looking at Samora's serious expression and Sandra's surprised expression, everyone burst into laughter.

Leonardo sent agave again, holding a tray in his left hand, with lemon slices and salt pots inside, which was definitely fully prepared.

Looking at Sandra with a helpless look on his face, Hugo walked over and took the wine glass from Leonardo, "I'll drink this glass of wine on behalf of Sandra." This immediately made everyone feel cheering, and even Charlize was screaming there.

Sandra couldn't help laughing, "Oh, Hugo, a real man! But, if you do, are you sure Charlize won't be jealous?"

"No, absolutely not." Before Hugo answered, Charlize said directly, "When I nodded and agreed to his request for dating, I already knew what kind of man I was facing." The meaningful words seemed to imply that Hugo was a "fictional" man, which made everyone even more lively.

Hugo looked at Charlize with a smile, but did not refute. Instead, he picked up the salt pot on the tray, sprinkled some salt on the tiger's mouth with his left hand holding the wine glass, then picked up a piece of lemon, and raised the cup to Sandra, "To Sandra!" Before he finished speaking, Hugo lowered his head and licked the salt on the tiger's mouth, then raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine in one breath. Finally, he took a bite of the lemon slice, and the whole process was completed in one go.

"Oh oh!" Leonardo started to cheer first, and the others clapped and screamed.

Hugo's brows were completely entangled, the agave's heat and intensity were burning in his stomach, as if his whole body was ignited. Hugo gave Sandra a big hug and whispered in her ear, "Thank you, Sandra...thank you."

Without Sandra, maybe neither he nor Charlize could have taken this step.

Sandra's eyes couldn't help but feel a little warm again. She was also very honored to be one of them when she remembered the beauty and romance of today. Sandra gently patted Hugo's back, "Hugo, the best thanks is that you can hold on to this happiness. I know that for both of you, this step is too difficult. Many times, having means losing. But you must know that the time before losing is the most precious."

Hugo smiled out of the corner of his mouth and nodded, "It's like death. We all know what the end is waiting for, but we have the ability to make this process different."

Hugo let go of Sandra, and the two of them touched each other without any sparks, but they laughed tacitly. Hugo couldn't help but tease, "If you see a satisfied man next time and need me, I'll be on standby at any time. I'm absolutely happy to help you kidnap that person and leave it to you for disposal."

A joke made Sandra laugh, generous and exaggerated, sounding like a man, but it has a charm that only belongs to Sandra. This is also the reason why Hugo and Sandra can become friends.

The night gradually became deeper and deeper, and by the end of the party, it was already past two in the morning. Allen, Sandra and others went back first; Leonardo, Alex and others all returned to their room. The whole villa was quiet, leaving only the waves and the sound of the wind.

After taking a shower, Hugo walked out, but found that Charlize, who had finished washing before him, was not in the room. He wiped his hair and stood at the end of the bed. Hugo found that he was a little nervous. Everything happened too quickly today, just like a tornado. Everything had happened. The things he had always dreamed of became reality. He and Charlize were really together. But now, he didn't feel real.

Because the two of them had been together as friends for too long, it seemed that seven years had passed in a blink of an eye, and both of them had become accustomed to sticking to their friends' positions. But now, they suddenly broke the ice wall, but they were not used to it, as if the last secret in their hearts had been exposed. The awkwardness and embarrassment were really difficult to adapt to.

Looking down at the bath towel in his hand, Hugo then remembered that he had just finished taking a shower... and Charlize had already finished taking a shower before. Now both of them are in the same space, so what happened next is self-evident: they are not children. But suddenly thinking about this incident made Hugo embarrassed, and his fingers and toes couldn't help but curl up, not knowing what to do.

Go to bed with friends? Is this really good?
