72_72291The chaotic darkness in front of him floated and fell in his sight, only the black fog that he could not see was slowly flowing, but he could not feel the signs of dawn at all, and the bright light was tightly pressed below the horizon, as if he could never break free.

Hugo's chaotic brain was still a mess, there were so many things happening tonight, he didn't want to think about it at this moment, and he didn't have the strength to think about it, he just needed to be quiet for a while, looking at the darkness that didn't change at all, but Hugo felt indescribable peace.

There was a slight sound of footsteps around him, but Hugo didn't want to look back, he didn't care who came, he didn't care, he didn't even care, even the strength to turn his head seemed to have disappeared. Hugo just sat quietly like this, and then the footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped beside Hugo.

Hugo waited for someone to speak, but he didn't wait, there was still an indescribable silence around him, his shoulders becoming heavier and heavier under the pressure of the darkness, but no one spoke. After a while, the visitor sat down beside Hugo, not forgetting to find a slightly more comfortable position, as if Hugo was not there at all, but focused on his seat.

"Milk?" The man finally spoke, it was Charlize, and Hugo looked down at the outstretched glass, which was full of milk, and was still slowly steaming.

Hugo still didn't turn his head, but he reached out and took the cup, the hot temperature instantly made Hugo's stiff hands begin to melt, the muscles up and down his body slowly stretched, the soreness jumped from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, Hugo involuntarily closed his eyes, the heavy eyelids almost couldn't wait to close, the only remaining glimmer of light disappeared, so that Hugo's world immediately fell into extreme silence, as if he was the only one left in the world - and the hot milk in his hand.

I don't know how long it took, Hugo's tired eyelids opened again, the goose-yellow light flickered faintly in the darkness, and the messy thread in his mind was kicked into the corner, leaving only a large blank space, an unprecedented ease invaded.

Charlize was still sitting next to her, and she was comfortably cross-legged, holding the coffee in her hand, and looking at the calm and empty sea in front of her with satisfaction, as if she had come to rest and relax, and had no intention of talking to Hugo. The corners of Hugo's mouth tugged at him tiredly, "You're not going to say something?" ”

"Nope." Charlize replied crisply, but this made the curvature of Hugo's mouth rise again.

Charlize came up to comfort Hugo, although their group of friends didn't know the specific situation - the only person in the know, Allen, is still tight-lipped, but they all know that Hugo has an accident, and the situation is very bad, they know that it has something to do with glory to death, but it also has something to do with Hugo himself, but they can't do anything about it. At this time, Joseph and Rick were downstairs, sitting on the couch restless and sleepless all night, and Charlize was sent to talk to Hugo.

But Charlize didn't plan to speak, because she knew Hugo, and at this moment, more than any communication, any comfort, Hugo needed quiet, but also companionship. As a friend, the only thing she can contribute is companionship. Charlize clearly knew that she hadn't experienced Hugo's situation, and she didn't even know what Hugo was going through, so she said "I understand you" or "things are always going to get better", and these comforting words are just, and it is better not to say it.

What's more, in fact, tonight is also a magnificent time for Charlize, with the ups and downs of being nominated, experiencing awards, and returning empty-handed, so that Charlize also needs a little time to settle down, and she also needs a moment of peace.

So, Charlize chose to keep his mouth shut.

Hugo didn't speak again, just picked up the milk, brought it to his mouth and drank it, at this time the milk was no longer hot, the warm milk fragrance slid down the dry throat into the cold stomach, actually made the stomach cramp, the tumbling taste made the conflict of vomiting appear again, but Hugo didn't feel uncomfortable, but the muscles all over his body relaxed, and the back that had been stubbornly straight slowly drooped down.

"What time is it? Why hasn't the morning sun come out yet? Hugo broke the silence as he looked at the still-dead horizon, but said something that had nothing to do with tonight.

"How do I know, I'm not a weatherman." Charlize didn't raise his eyelids, and pouted and complained directly.

Hugo pursed his lips, did not refute, lowered his head and took another sip of milk, but saw that there was still a cup on the ground, it was a wide-mouthed deep teacup, and it was a black ball inside, bubbling with mist, which looked really confusing, "What is that?" ”

Charlize followed Hugo's gaze and looked down, "Oh, tea." Hugo turned his head to look at Charlize for the first time, who had already removed his makeup, his long blonde hair pulled into a loose bun and draped in a blanket, and the whole person was curled up in a corner. Charlize seemed to sense Hugo's gaze and rolled his eyes angrily, "I know, it's not my style, this is what Mr. Perfect gave me, I thought maybe you'd like it." ”

"Mr. Perfect gave it to you? Do you have it with you tonight? Hugo frowned, his expression incredulous.

Charlize hung his head and glanced at Hugo, "I don't like it, so I put the tea in your cupboard, and my tea canister was replaced with coffee beans." If he checks it up, I'll tell him that I'm done drinking. ”

The corners of Hugo's mouth rose slightly helplessly, "You know, if you don't like it, you can just throw it away, or hide it in the corner of your cupboard." Hugo said here, Charlize rolled his eyes with an impatient expression, and Hugo didn't continue, "You know, you've changed a lot, I saw a book of Greek mythology in your backpack. ”

Charlize had always disliked ancient Greek mythology because she thought it was an insult to women to promote the spirit of machismo. Hugo noticed many details, not just tea leaves and books. For example, Charlize loves beer, but when Mr. Perfect is there, Charlize is drinking red wine more often.

Charlize tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Ugh...... That's Mr. Perfect's too. ”

Before Charlize finished speaking, she seemed to notice Hugo's playful eyes, and she couldn't help but raise her hands in surrender, "Don't criticize me, although I don't like it either, but ...... It's a normal and steady relationship, isn't it? You know, we always have to learn to compromise, learn to sacrifice, and Mr. Perfect is a good man. ”

Hugo retracted his gaze and chuckled, "I think a truly normal and stable relationship is not to learn to compromise and sacrifice, but to learn to tolerate and learn to be considerate." ”

After Hugo's words were spoken, they dissipated in the sea breeze, Charlize did not respond, Hugo did not continue, and the two of them resumed their silence again.

After a long time, Charlize said, "Maybe you should give Cameron a call, she can help you take some of the pressure off your shoulders." That's what a normal relationship does, isn't it? Share something together. This is the only thing Charlize said after he came up to "comfort" Hugo.

The corners of Hugo's mouth hooked slightly, and a little laughter spilled out softly, but he didn't answer, just let the atmosphere quiet again.

The raging sea breeze became more and more rampant, almost as if it was about to be blown away, and the heavy night set off huge waves, and the calm sea began to roar, which made the silence between Hugo and Charlize seem deeper and deeper. Suddenly, all the commotion stopped, the sea breeze stopped, the sea stopped, and the night stopped...... And then......

With a "whew", a golden light tore through the black night without warning, the faint gold was so thin, but so dazzling, that both Hugo and Charlize held their breath in an instant. Then, one, two...... The golden light was like a sharp dagger, and it began to tear the heavy night one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the entire canopy began to tear from the horizon, and it was directly torn out of a large hole, and you could see the golden fireball climbing up little by little, and the heavy night curtain pressed on the fireball, but the fireball still could not stop it from reaching the distance visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, all the pressure reached the equilibrium point, and then the fireball suddenly broke free from the shackles of the sea level, and the hula jumped up, and the already fragmented night was completely torn apart in an instant, the thick black fog disappeared in an instant, and the whole sky turned navy blue, but just in the blink of an eye, the color began to become lighter, and before a breath could be transformed, the whole sky was rendered a light red by the gold, and the clear sky was completely reflected in a bright and vivid red, In stark contrast to the darkness at the far end, which has not yet completely dissipated, it is finally projected on the endless sea below. The dazzling morning light spread like a carpet across the calm sea, and the sparkling sea looked like a crystal clear blue, like a peerless treasure, and the thrilling beauty made all languages lose their color.

The long night was finally over, and when the first rays of dawn came, the darkness that enveloped the Northern Hemisphere faded away, and everyone opened their arms for a new day.

"Wow, that's priceless, isn't it?" Charlize couldn't help but whisper in admiration.

Hugo's heart slowly loosened, and he closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on his eyelids, almost making him want to moan. Moaned, but the warmth that jumped on the eyelids allowed the endless tiredness to invade. Hugo let out a long sigh of relief and said inaudibly, "yes, it's priceless ......."
