The air seemed to freeze, that ambiguous. The indistinct heat wave slowly rolled in the room, and the faint sound of cicadas could be heard in the vineyards outside the window, but it made the night seem quieter, and the sound of the heart beating rolled on the eardrums, causing the temples to twitch one after another, making the mouth dry and wanting to purse the lip flap.

Hugo's gaze stayed on Charlize's familiar eyes, the clear mint green was translucent, and the clarity and purity of azure blue were also reflected under the creamy yellow light, like a lake on the top of the Alps, and a thin layer of mist hid a thrilling beauty, but the familiar eyes became unfamiliar, as if it was a mysterious abyss, with a colorful halo underneath, and the desire to find out from the bottom of my heart. Hope is in a commotion.

Charlize had looked at Hugo's face countless times, with its narrow peach blossom eyes, mountain-like thick eyebrows, the bridge of the nose like a mountain ridge, and the damn soft lips that always made people curious. She had to tighten her right hand slightly and clench it into a fist, so as to avoid her urge to use her index finger to slowly sketch Hugo's facial features like a painter; But his gaze sank into Hugo's eyes, which were like a cloudless clear sky, and the warm light made people want to wander in them, so they couldn't extricate themselves.

Hugo and Charlize's eyes met in this way, and the eyes moved down the eyebrows, eyelashes, and the bridge of the nose little by little, and finally slowly traced the ups and downs of the lip line, fantasizing in his mind about the softness and beauty of the rosy lip flap. The clear eyes reflected the raging flames, and a dense mist was confused, making the eyes hazy and unfamiliar, and only the tumbling and boiling sparks could be faintly seen in the depths of the line of sight, but other than that, everything became faint.

Charlize saw Hugo's Adam's apple roll slightly, Hugo noticed Charlize pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were entangled in the air, unable to separate, the uncontrollable magic made the two people get closer little by little, like survivors warming each other in the ice and snow.

The beating of his heart was so hard and chaotic that Hugo could clearly feel the pain in his chest, but the faint pain pricked his brain, causing him to pause slightly.

He is now in a relationship with Cameron, he is now in a stable relationship with Cameron, Cameron only came to Long Beach today in person to meet him, he left Long Beach temporarily for his friend, Cameron is waiting for him in Long Beach...... What's more, he and Charlize are friends, and they are friends. "Once it starts, it means it ends." This is a consequence that he cannot bear.

Hugo clenched his teeth tightly and forced himself to stop, and a muffled sound of "rubbing" came, causing Charlize's movements to stop as well, breaking the bond between the two people, and all the heat waves seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the magic lost its effect at this moment, and all the haze and all the fog faded as quickly as a tide.

Charlize looked down and saw that it was she who pressed the beer can in her hand, which made a noise, she laughed dryly twice, and turned over directly in a panic, not only avoiding Hugo's sight, but also away from Hugo's scorching body temperature. The chaos in her head kept her from thinking, so she started laughing, "Haha, haha. After laughing, a sense of inexplicable absurdity came over me when I remembered what had just happened, and then Charlize actually laughed.

Turning around, I saw Hugo in front of me again. A smile also appeared on the corner of Hugo's mouth, and the two of them made eye contact again, as if they both felt that the situation just now was too joyful, and laughed at the same time. It's just that Charlize laughed and was very hearty; But Hugo only chuckled a few times, and the slightest hint of helplessness may not have been noticed by Hugo himself.

Charlize knew that she and Hugo were just friends, that the two of them had always been friends, and that they had been friends since they had missed it in the first place. What's more, even if she doesn't like Cameron anymore, Hugo is indeed in a relationship with Cameron. Therefore, the thunder pool between them is still insurmountable, and more importantly, she doesn't want to lose Hugo's friend. I don't want to, and I can't.

After laughing heartily, Charlize turned over, looked at Hugo, thought for a moment, and asked, "Why don't people believe that there can be pure friendship between men and women?" ”

Hugo pondered for a while, then looked at Charlize again, calmly and calmly, "I think it should be everyone's lesson." ”

"So......" Charlize asked cautiously, looking into Hugo's clear eyes, "you...... Don't treat me like a woman? ”

The corners of Hugo's mouth lightly outlined a smile, "You don't treat me as a man, do you?" ”

In a word, there are too many meanings. Charlize noticed Hugo's rhetorical tone, which meant that Hugo's answer was ...... This made the smile on the corner of her mouth pause slightly, but she didn't know what to say, she opened her mouth, and asked directly, "Then if I treat you as a man, will you treat me as a woman?" ”

However, as soon as this sentence was asked, Charlize noticed that the words were too ambiguous. ambiguous, and too ambiguous. This annoyed Charlize a little, but she didn't want to cover it up, otherwise the atmosphere would only get weirder. Charlize looked at Hugo like this, but saw that Hugo's clear eyes dimmed slightly, as if he was hiding something, and he stopped talking.

The atmosphere was quiet again at this moment, but it was not as dramatic as just now, there were no bursting sparks, and there was no chemical reaction, just the two of them were quiet, and the secrets in their hearts seemed to be clearing the fog little by little.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell!"

A series of cell phone rings suddenly, as if they were exploding in their ears, breaking all the atmosphere in an instant, and both of them lay back on their backs again. Charlize didn't know why he had an inexplicable sense of loss and irritability deep down, so he raised his right hand to block his eyes, and said impatiently, "Go pick it up." ”

Charlize didn't know who was calling Hugo, but she sat up and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't want Cameron to misunderstand, especially if I 'forced' Mr. Perfect to escape." After saying that, Charlize didn't look at Hugo - or she didn't dare to look, so she just got out of bed, and then went into the bathroom, leaving the space for Hugo.

Hugo sat up and looked at Charlize's back without speaking, the shrill ringtone of his cell phone kept echoing. Charlize closed the bathroom door, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, the confusion in his heart was really difficult to describe in words, even he didn't know what was going on in his head right now.

With a long sigh, he found his phone on the table, looked at the number, and sure enough, it was Cameron, "Well, it's me." ”

Cameron's voice also looked a little tired, and in the past few hours, she had not been able to get through to Hugo's phone and had not heard anything from Hugo. This made her sit on the edge of her seat, she wanted to convince herself that she was worried about Hugo, about Hugo's driving problems, about Hugo's physical condition, about Hugo being followed by the paparazzi, but ...... After the phone was connected, he couldn't say anything with concern, but said hesitantly, "You, did you find Charlize?" ”

"Yes, I saw her." Hugo nodded slightly, and looked at the closed door of the bathroom again, but his mood gradually calmed down.

Cameron paused, tried to put on a smile, and asked with concern, "Is she okay?" ”

"It's okay...... Hugo tried to sort out the language, "it's just a matter of work, she's been under too much mental pressure lately, and she's broken down a little." ”

Cameron could hear Hugo's voice calm, without any particular emotions. But it was precisely this calmness that made Cameron uneasy, she wanted to say it, but she didn't know how to start, and finally just asked, "What about it......?" Will you drive back tonight? ”

"Oh, I'm in Napa now, it's too far to go back, I guess I'll go back tomorrow morning, let's find a room in the motel I have today......" Hugo explained the situation in a low voice, and then chatted with Cameron on and off.

Charlize was standing in front of the washbasin in the bathroom at this time, looking at herself in the mirror, but she was annoyed, and she didn't know why she was hiding - she entered the bathroom to give up space to Hugo, which was a sign of weakness. In the past, she never deliberately avoided the moments when Hugo and his girlfriend got along, she and Hugo were friends, there is no doubt about this, she has always been upright. And now too, but ...... Why?

Deep down, far away, Charlize knew her answer, because she didn't want to hear Hugo and Cameron talking on the phone, she didn't want to see Hugo still doing useless work by Cameron's side, she didn't think Cameron was really the right person for Hugo...... However, when the answer surfaced, Charlize realized that she was jealous.

A wry smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and Charlize grabbed his hair in frustration, but he didn't know what to do. Looking at his embarrassment and emaciation in the mirror, Charlize could only tell himself that perhaps, all this was just because Hugo was his best friend.

After turning on the faucet, washing his face, and finally sobering up, Charlize opened the door and walked out, but found that the room was quiet, and Hugo was not talking on the phone, but lying on the bed, motionless. Charlize walked over to take a look and found that Hugo still had a brick phone in his hand, but he was already asleep.

Charlize cautiously climbed into bed. , looked at Hugo's sleeping side face, and couldn't help laughing, but Cameron's voice still came from the mobile phone receiver, "Hugo, hey!" Hugo? Glancing at Hugo, who had fallen asleep completely, Charlize hesitated for a moment and picked up his phone lightly.
