"A lot of things have changed, but some things will never change." This is Hugo-like rejection, gentle and polite, but meaningful.

On the surface, Hugo was discussing dancing, but after a year, Hugo's dance still had no improvement; but this sentence was said in front of Uma, but it obviously had another meaning: the matter on New Year's Eve has passed, and the relationship between the two of them has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the things Uma did at the beginning will not disappear.

Uma heard the profound meaning of Hugo's words. She felt her heart shrink suddenly, and her steps forward paused. She looked at Hugo in front of her, the same, but different.

The same is the gentle smile, with the youthful youth and the gentlemanly gentleness; the difference is the distantness of oneself, and there is only one step away from the two at this time, but Uma feels that she will never be able to touch Hugo, and this distance is a natural barrier.

The world changes, things change. Many times, this is life, a cruel and cold reality. This reminds Uma of the morning after the Golden Globes incident, which day she turned around cruelly and coldly without any nostalgia; and today, Hugo is smiling and smiling gently, but the smile in her eyes hurts her heart.

At this moment, Uma truly realized what she had missed, not just career, not just love, but also the man who had been in the entertainment industry for ten years but still maintained a innocent heart. Regret, this emotion drowned her like a tsunami, making her unable to breathe.

Uma stopped and took another step forward. Hugo in front of her seemed like a driftwood, which was her only hope for survival. She had to hold the driftwood tightly, but she found that Hugo stepped back a little more, then politely stretched out his hands to hold Uma's arms, and said with a smile, "Be careful, don't fall."

Although this is a concern, it is obvious that the alienation in Hugo's eyes has erected a wall again. The distance in Uma's eyes has obviously narrowed, but he feels that Hugo is getting farther and farther away. This makes Uma a little panicked, "Hugo, I'm sorry, I was confused at the beginning, so I made the wrong choice..."

As soon as this sentence was said, Uma saw Hugo frowning slightly, and then said seriously, "I thought we had already talked about this, the past is over, we are collaborating on a work, that's all, there is no need for you to mention those things again."

Hugo doesn't like Uma's current eyes because this look is too familiar and too strange. He can see Uma's earnest desire, but it is not the look he expects. For Hugo, that relationship has long ended, and he can face Uma calmly now because he knows that he has completely ended, no love or hatred. Therefore, Hugo is unwilling to mix other emotions in the workplace, which will make the cooperation between the two more complicated.

But Uma looked at Hugo's slightly frowning brow, all her calmness, determination and determination were shattered. She looked at Hugo in despair and said with regret, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm...I just thought career was the most important, I just thought that that would be the most important opportunity in my acting career...I don't know what happened to me, so I betrayed your trust and made a choice to hurt you. Sorry, sorry..."

"No, you don't need to apologize. You just made a choice that meets your inner needs." Hugo looked at the tears that fell from Uma's eyes, but there was no pity. Instead, he felt a little ridiculous. When the two broke up, Uma turned around and left indifferently and resolutely, not even a word of retention or arguing. Hugo waited until today to see Uma's tears. This... it was too late. "Uma, you always know what you want, and then you will try your best to fight for it, even if you don't make any means, this is you, the most real you. Do you remember what you said to me? There is no so-called true or falsehood in that relationship, everything is true. It's just that when love and career conflict and need to make a choice, you choose your career, that's all, this is you, without any confusion, no hesitation, and no apology."

But Uma was completely collapsed at this time. Her tears were completely released like a flood that broke through the dam. She grabbed Hugo's sleeve tightly and said with a pleading look, "I'm sorry, Hugo, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't do those things on your back. I shouldn't have stepped in even though I knew it was a trap against you. I shouldn't have hidden everything you have... Sorry, sorry, sorry... I love you, we can start over, I love you, I really love you..."

Uma couldn't listen to anything about Hugo. She was just immersed in her emotions and cried wildly and paranoidly. The noisy music around her was still noisy, and the carnival dance of the crew members was still in progress. It was like two completely different worlds, making Uma's embarrassment look even more desolate.

If someone who doesn't know the inside story will definitely sympathize with Uma, thinking that Hugo is just bullying Uma, and will even come over and say something like "People have apologized, just forgive her"; in fact, Hugo is indeed a little soft-hearted at this time. No matter what happened in the past, Uma is crying like a child under the audience in the court, which still touched the soft part of Hugo's heart.

But after so many ups and downs and downs, Hugo has matured. He is no longer the child who naively believed that "love can change everything". The cruelty of society tells him with bloody reality: when you grow up, the world will never be as pure as in fairy tales. In fact, this lesson was given to him by Professor Uma in front of you.

So, Hugo knew that if Uma was willing to cry, quarrel, and fight for it when they broke up, maybe everything would have turned, but there was no "if". Now that time has passed, Uma's begging could win sympathy in Hugo's heart, but it could not shake Hugo's heart.

"It's too late, you know, your apology is too late." Hugo's tone could not help but sigh. He didn't want to discuss the days after the breakup with Uma. He always wondered why Uma didn't fight for it or not. But now, Hugo doesn't want to say anything more, and all his thoughts only turned into this sentence, "It's too late."

Uma looked at Hugo in a mess with tears on her face, and stood there blankly. She seemed to not understand Hugo's words very much, so she could only murmur, "Why, why... can't we start over? You see, aren't everything good now? We still have a tacit understanding of each other..."

Hugo looked at Uma in front of him and suddenly felt speechless. He could not understand Uma's sudden change, or to be precise, he could not understand why Uma had not done anything before, but he suddenly became like this recently... "Recently?" A thought flashed through Hugo's mind.

Uma's actions seem to have started when a reporter interviewed about Joseph not long ago. After that, Uma showed goodwill to him two or three times. Why was this time? Hugo is no longer Hugo a year ago. He soon realized that the rumors that happened to be "Schindler's list" were controlled and public opinion was tilted towards the crew; the music debate about glory to death also reached its peak, but the supporters' remarks are quite loud...

Thinking of this, Hugo looked at Uma carefully again. Her translucent eyes were flashing with tears, and the expression deep in her eyes was full of desire, looking at herself affectionately and firmly... But Hugo saw her unswerving cruelty behind her. This cruelty reminded Hugo of the moment when Uma stood in front of her and spread everything.

"Do you have something to ask me for help? Or do you want to hype the news again?" Hugo's mood calmed down and asked gently. This sentence interrupted all Uma's emotions, making Uma stand in place just like that.

Uma found that she wanted to defend herself, but couldn't say a word. Indeed, she did have something to rely on Hugo's power. She had been planning since she took on "Pulp Novels". Now Hugo can be said to be a high-speed train. Anyone can climb up to the sky in one step as long as she climbs. She doesn't want to miss it, so she has been planning step by step. She knows that Hugo is a kind person, and the warm sunshine smell on his body is the most direct expression of his personality charm. She believes that Hugo will be moved by his "performance".

But things have deviated a little bit until now. Uma found that she really didn't seem to have forgotten Hugo. She missed Hugo's tenderness and considerateness, and she missed Hugo's care and sweetness. She really wanted to start over with Hugo.

When love and career were entangled again, Uma found that things were a little out of control. Not only did Hugo discover her purpose, but she couldn't say anything in the face of Hugo's questioning. As a result, Uma could only stand foolishly, with tears that were not dry in her eyes, which made her look like a joke.

Hugo saw Uma's dull expression and pulled the corner of his mouth slightly. He saw the answer he wanted in those eyes. Although Uma didn't say anything, even his expression was still pear blossoms and rain, pitiful, but Hugo saw the answer in those eyes that he once was extremely familiar with. This made Hugo a little angry, but he felt it was ridiculous and ridiculous. He couldn't believe that Uma would use the same trick again.
