72_72291Tom in front of him looked more slender than James, less James handsome, more uninhibited and casual between his eyebrows, but when he laughed, it was almost exactly the same as James, and the strange and familiar smile made Hugo suddenly extremely flustered.

"Uh, Hugo, I'm sorry, I'm Hugo." Hugo only felt that his brain seemed to be a little sluggish and couldn't keep up with the change in the whole rhythm, and he forced himself to concentrate, reached out and took Tom's right hand, and briefly introduced himself.

"The name seems to have been particularly hot in recent years." Tom said with a smile that he didn't seem to recognize Hugo, and he didn't have any special associations, just a simple sigh. Hugo only felt that the stubble on his chin was a little itchy, and he was glad that he hadn't shaved it all recently.

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, but found that his smile was very far-fetched, "Maybe the French are suddenly starting to have more." Hugo's joke made Tom stunned, and then he laughed heartily, giving Hugo a "this joke is great" look. But Hugo couldn't relax and laugh at this time, just laughed dryly twice, "Dave's knees, remember to apply a little red potion when you go back, of course, it's best not to get it on your pants......"

"Otherwise, my mom will find out." Tom took the second half of the sentence and said with a look of chagrin, "Isn't it okay to have a band-aid?" I'd like to keep it simple. ”

Hugo shrugged, "Of course, band-aids are fine, but remember to clean the wound." Looking back at Dave, who was already smiling, Hugo felt a little itchy in his throat, and he coughed lightly twice, but it still didn't relieve, "So, your mother, huh?" You can hear that your mother seems to be very ...... Belch...... Good. ”

"Yes, yes." Tom had a big smile on his face, "My mother should be the best mother in the world," but when he said that, he gave Hugo an apologetic expression, "I don't mean to be offended." It means that he did not mean to belittle Hugo's mother, but this made the embarrassment at the corner of Hugo's mouth precipitate to the depths of his heart, and the bitterness on the tip of his tongue flooded again.

"You know, my mom dedicates almost all of her time to our brother, and by the way, I have an older brother above me, but he didn't come over today, it seems like there is something unresolved at school, and we came out today to celebrate Dave's twelfth birthday. She was always willing to fully support our choices, and when I was in eighth grade, I skipped my boring Spanish class to watch a street art exhibition, and she was called to school, where the teacher reprimanded her, but she said that she respected my choice and that she thought I should do what I wanted. The Spanish teacher's expression at the time was so funny. So, then she held an exhibition for me, and invited the Spanish teacher to come and watch it, and I could see the smug expression on her face, which was probably the happiest moment for me so far. ”

Tom babbled on and on, and applauded himself when he was happy, and it could be seen that his eyes were shining with joy.

Hugo was stunned, and looked at Tom with soulless eyes, for he had listened so engrossed that he couldn't react at all—he didn't know what to do, and his whole brain went blank. He could hear Tom's every word clearly, and knew the meaning of Tom's words, but he couldn't react, like an idiot.

"Oh, sorry, I seem to have lost some of my temper." Tom noticed Hugo's distracted eyes, realized his faux pas, and quickly apologized—it could be seen that his manners were well educated, "It's just that you really seem to be a very kind person, and I like your smile, and if I have the chance, maybe I can paint a picture of you." ”

"No, it's fine, I mean, thank you for the compliment." Hugo's words seemed a little fragmented, and he squeezed out a shallow smile, "So, you said you also have an older brother, three brothers, clams?" It should be lively, right? Hugo looked at Dave, who was sitting next to him and was intently fiddling with the model of the race car, but felt as if his chest was stuffed with a ball of cotton, almost making him unable to breathe.

"Yes, James, he's the best guy in our family, and if nothing else, he's going to go to UCLA, and you should really look at how my mother shows off his pride like crazy. Last week was James's high school graduation ceremony, and my mom was preparing for it three days in advance, and not only did she dress up that day, but for God's sake, she rented a video camera and recorded the whole process so far, and when James went on stage to receive her diploma, she was moved to tears - I mean crying and sobbing like that, and she got all her makeup done, which embarrassed Jade, hahahaha. James was a wonderful guy growing up, and my mom was never absent from all his activities and ceremonies, and I even wondered if Dave and I were adopted by her. Not long ago at dinner, James revealed that he seemed to be interested in the profession of actor, and if you were there, you would be scared by my mother's tears, and I almost thought James was going to land on the moon. ”

Tom's speech was unfast, full of self-ridicule and dark humor, and he could have enjoyed himself with little reaction from Hugo.

Hugo just stood there, nodded his chin quietly, and opened his mouth slightly, only to find that the turbulence in his heart made it impossible for him to say any words, not even a word. He couldn't even restrain himself, clenched his right fist slightly, and in order to hide his feelings, Hugo had to put his right hand behind his back, and then tried to pretend to be calm and listen to Tom's words.

"Oh God, I'm sick again, James says every time I have a craving for communication, for God's sake, it's not because he robbed me of all the time I had to talk to my mom in secret." Tom also noticed Hugo's slightly strange expression, although he didn't quite understand what was going on, but he also realized that he shouldn't continue to talk, so he stretched out his right hand again, "Anyway, I have to thank you for your help, you saved my day, if my mother saw Dave's tears, I wouldn't have a good time today." ”

Hugo looked at Tom's right hand and slowly released his clenched right fist, but the stiff muscles made his right hand look a little strange, and then he quickly shook Tom's right hand, pretending to be calm and put his right hand on the side of his thigh. But he still couldn't suppress the turbulence in his heart, and put his right hand behind his back again and clenched it tightly.

"Dave, let's go, otherwise Mom will be angry to see the two of us missing for so long." Tom raised his voice, and Dave stood up, smiled broadly at Hugo, thanked him again, and ran away quickly. Tom looked at Dave's back, quickly followed, grabbed Dave's collar, and then the two of them stepped forward and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Hugo clenched his teeth and took two steps in place, but found that he was going around in circles at all, like a beast trapped in a cage, his anger had risen to his mind, almost before realizing that his eyes were warm, he had to clench his right hand viciously, the sharp sting of his nails into his palm made his mind clear, but tears still overflowed from his eyes, and he was caught off guard. Annoyed, Hugo wiped all the moisture from his eyes with his fist, strode away, and left the place where the crew was, and the place where the crowd was noisy.

His right fist began to tremble because it was too hard, but it still didn't help, he only felt that the muscles in his body were trembling, but the turbulent waves in his heart still couldn't calm down. He can't forgive Lena, he can't forgive Lena, and he doesn't want to forgive Lena. He didn't want to hurt himself, but he just couldn't control it, the anger in his heart was like a tsunami, making his whole person feel as if he was on the verge of an explosion, and that extreme emotion made him almost lose control.

Hugo's footsteps became faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally he walked to the edge of the valley, looking at the bustling metropolis in front of him, the noisy crowd behind him had gradually faded away, and the empty vision made his emotions finally completely out of control, and then he shouted angrily towards the valley, and all the negative feelings in his heart were released to the fullest, but even so, he still clenched his fists tightly until the strength of his body was about to disappear.

When she left, he was only eight years old, even younger than Dave, but she never worried about whether he would be independent; He was only fourteen years old when he left home, wandering around Los Angeles alone, relying on himself for everything; When he was in a car accident and was struggling on the edge of life and death, no one could inform him, and his dull pain in his left knee still reminded him of this fact; After he became an actor, he earnestly called for her appearance, but in exchange for not only disappointment, but also pain......

In front of her happiness, Adam's persistence and maintenance looks like a joke, Adam carries all the blame and hatred for her, when he calls out his mother deeply in the media, when he blames Adam for his mother, when Adam sees that he is sad because he misses his mother, when he hates Adam and sees her as his only hope...... How much suffering Adam endured, and what kind of weight did Adam carry?

He hated himself, he hated her even more, he was not worthy of Adam, and he was not worth it for himself. This anger almost consumed Hugo, he had never hated a person so much, and this emotion reached an unattainable extreme, so that he wished to erase this memory and never know the truth of the matter.

She shouldn't have been, she really shouldn't
