Uma watched Hugo keep a four-step slower posture. Because his muscles were tightened for too long, he became a little stiff. However, because of taking care of his own thoughts, Hugo never complained about being tired and insisted on it. This made Uma feel a little funny, and the sweetness in his heart became more and more popular.

"Let's go out for a rest?" Uma stood on tiptoe and whispered softly in Hugo's ear. Then she saw the smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth blooming immediately, and nodded impatiently to express her agreement. Looking at Hugo like this, Uma laughed out loud and let Hugo hold her hand and walk towards the back garden.

At this time, the lights were filled with starry lights, just like millions of fireflies living in the dark forest, like a crystal-shining river gurgling forward. After leaving the room, the cold wind outside suddenly came to his face, making people shivering. Hugo felt cold in his suit, while Uma was only wearing a white strapless and ground-spun lace evening dress, which was even cold. Hugo directly hugged Uma into his arms, warmed the other person with the temperature of his body, and then turned around and blocked all the cold wind behind him.

At this time, there were many guests in the back garden drinking, which was no less than the lively hall. A huge bar was built in the garden, and a DJ station was placed next to it, playing music completely different from that in the hall, creating a young and lively atmosphere. It seems that there are young people in the back garden, and the atmosphere is also casual, while in the hall it is relatively formal. Hugo and Uma seemed to have found the wrong place just now.

Uma pointed to the random dance swaying in the garden, "You are much more comfortable here." Most people here just follow the rhythm and there is no specific pattern. Even people who can't dance stand in place to beat the beat.

Hugo knew that Uma was teasing herself, and wrinkled her nose and exposed her white and neat teeth, making a low roar similar to a wolf cub, as if she would attack at any time, and then approached Uma little by little, which made Uma burst into laughter, hurriedly raised her hand and held Hugo's cheek, preventing Hugo from getting closer. But if she had to compare strength, Uma and Hugo were not of the same level at all. Soon she felt the hot breath of Hugo spraying on her cheeks and neck, which made her heartbeat start to accelerate.

"Stop making a fuss." Uma bit her lower lip and endured her smile very hard. Now there are people around her. The garden in front of the hall behind her is full of people. Uma doesn't want to make a fool of herself here, so she quickly admits defeat, "My fault, my fault." This made Hugo laugh lowly, with a joke of success in her eyes. Uma glared at Hugo in shame and whispered, "Is it okay for you to be sure? I guess Sidney is more likely to be inside."

Hugo then raised his head and did not continue to joke. He looked at the hall through Uma's shoulder, "This is Sidney's house. If he doesn't want to be found, then there is no way we can do it." When we were communicating with Tom Cruise and others just now, Hugo was actually looking around. Although he had to focus on his footsteps when dancing, the chance of making mistakes was greatly increased because of distracting himself to find Sidney's figure. Unfortunately, Hugo never saw Sidney's figure, but saw Joseph's busy back twice.

Uma also looked at the back garden from Hugo's shoulders and searched around. It has to be said that today's New Year's Eve party is really lively. You can see nearly 200 people in front and back within just sight. It is really not easy to find Sidney in such a surging crowd.

Hugo took back his attention and said helplessly, "It's useless to be anxious. Today is his party. He will definitely show up later. Let's wait." Anyway, they have just arrived at the party. It's not long, so things will be done step by step.

"But there are so many directors and producers at the party today, you can get to know them first." Uma was caught by familiar and unfamiliar figures in her sight, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited. This is an occasion full of opportunities. If she could seize an opportunity at will, it would have an immeasurable impact on her acting career.

Hugo quietly took out a branch from his suit pocket, then took it to the top of him and Uma's heads, and then used his free left hand to break Uma's face, allowing her to shift her eyes from the garden crowd to her face. "I don't think they are more attractive than me." Hugo's mindless words made Uma look full of questions, but Hugo's mouth outlined a smile, "You don't look at what we are standing near now. I'm very sorry for you to ignore me."

"What?" Uma still didn't understand Hugo's sudden stroke. Then she saw Hugo's eyes drifting. She couldn't help but follow Hugo's gaze up, and then she saw the emerald green branch on her and Hugo's head. This was a brown branch with two branches, some green leaves and a cluster of red fruits.

It was mistletoe.

Uma realized this time, and couldn't help it, and the smile on the corner of her mouth completely bloomed. Then Uma saw Hugo pouting his lips slightly, half-closing his eyes and said, "You should know how to do it again, right?"

Listening to Hugo's mellow voice with a little childishness, Uma couldn't help but laugh, but in the face of the expectation in Hugo's eyes, she still tiptoed and approached Hugo's lips, and then left a kiss on Hugo's lips. The heat on the lips of the two people blended together, and the warm breath made the cold outside disperse little by little.

The noise around was isolated outside at this moment, as if there were only Uma and Hugo in the world. The slightly trembling heartbeat made everything dotted with a hazy halo, so beautiful that it was not as beautiful as reality at all.

Uma slowly left Hugo's lips, gently bit his lips, leaned his hands on Hugo's chest, and whispered, "It's not Christmas today, why are you preparing mistletoe? It's really." After gaze, he saw that Hugo's right hand was still holding the mistletoe on his head. After lifting it for so long, it must be sore. Uma couldn't help laughing, "The kiss has ended, you can put the mistletoe down."

Hugo raised the corner of his mouth, "I always hope there will be a beginning and an end." Then he put down his right hand and put the mistletoe in his hand into the pocket of his left chest in his suit, as if he had no roses to put the mistletoe there. This action made Uma laugh again.

After Hugo didn't get well, he hugged Uma's waist with both hands, "This is to make up for the regrets of Christmas." Then he turned Umara into his arms, "Do you know why two people are going to kiss when standing under mistletoe at Christmas?"

Uma raised her eyebrows, "Why? I really don't understand, isn't it a custom?"

"Even customs have their origins." Hugo said with a smile, "Mistletoe has always been called the 'golden branch of life', but in Nordic mythology, mistletoe is the only thing that can hurt the son of the main god Odin and the goddess of beauty and love Fu Lijia (f-rigga). The god of darkness Hoder (hoder), under the instructions of the god of fire Loki, killed Valdel of Valdel. After Fu Lijia learned that, she and the gods tried their best to save Valdel of life. In the end, Fu Lijia's sorrowful tears dissolved the evil of mistletoe and saved his son. So Fu Lijia promised that no matter who stood under the mistletoe, he would give the other party a kiss."

Uma listened to Hugo's words, and her soft voice made her feel warmth, and she couldn't help but curl up in Hugo's arms, "So what?"

Hugo laughed, "Fu Lijia is the God of Love, so standing under the mistletoe and kissing means getting the blessing of God of Love, which has evolved into a Christmas tradition."

Now, Uma didn't understand Hugo's meaning as a fool. She couldn't help but raise her head and press her chin against Hugo's chest, "So, do you want to get Fu Lijia's blessing?"

But this sentence made Hugo's cheeks turn slightly red. He said with a smile, "No, I mean, even if it's not Christmas, it's OK to kiss under the mistletoe."

In fact, what Hugo didn't say is that Fu Lijia is the goddess in charge of marriage in Nordic mythology. The most widely said about mistletoe is that if an unmarried woman passes under the mistletoe on Christmas, it means that she will not be able to get married for the next year. It was because Hugo thought of this part that she felt it was a bit difficult to talk about. After all, he and Uma are still far from talking about the topic of "marriage".

Hugo's defense made Uma come to a joking look, which made Hugo feel helpless. Fortunately, Joseph's appearance saved Hugo, "So you are here, hurry up, let's go see Sidney." There was also good news with Joseph's appearance, "He specially spared ten minutes for you."

"That means that the audition will be held tonight?" Hugo also came to his senses, let go of Uma, and asked nervously. Although this is the main purpose of tonight, it is inevitable that it will be a little surprised when it comes. Sidney had not mentioned the audition for a month before, but so many changes occurred in one day today. In the morning, Long's olive branch, Joseph's relentless pursuit in the afternoon, and Sidney's official meeting in the evening, everything came a little too fast.

Joseph nodded, "I guess that's the case."

Hugo took a deep breath and turned to look at Uma. Next, this was work, so he naturally couldn't accompany Uma. Since Uma was not the one to audition, she naturally calmed down a lot, "Go quickly, I'm fine alone."
