"Are we leaving?" Charlize and Hugo left the restaurant. Looking at the road ahead, Charlize asked.After she said it, she realized her boldness and directness, as well as the vague reluctance in her words, which made Charlize involuntarily avert her gaze.Fortunately, it was already ten o'clock at night, and the thick darkness covered the slight flush of embarrassment on her face.A faint arc curved at the corners of Hugo's mouth, and a slight tremor in his heart made him always want to smile, "If you don't have a curfew, I think we could still go sit in a bar."From meeting at eight, enjoying dinner, and chatting along the way, it had already turned ten in the blink of an eye, yet neither of them had realized the passage of time at all.Chatting with Charlize was a very pleasant process. Although she also had the shyness and timidity of a young girl, more often than not, she spoke very frankly, carrying a brightness like a spring breeze. It lacked some of the petty scheming between men and women, and had more of the ease of friends being direct with each other, but at the same time, it did not lack the sparks of chemistry. It was a very wonderful process."A bar? Are you serious!" Charlize looked at Hugo in surprise, "Don't you know I haven't reached the legal drinking age yet?"Hugo was stunned for a moment; he had truly forgotten. Although the Charlize in front of him was still quite green and had a distance to go before becoming the glamorous queen of the future, Hugo did not treat her as the Charlize Theron seen on the big screen, but simply as a date. This, instead, made Hugo forget this important issue."If you're willing, even if we don't go into a bar, it's fine." Hugo's eyes rolled, and he thought of a good idea. He could completely go to a convenience store to buy some beer, and the two of them could find a place outside to sit down and enjoy it, "Or are you saying you've never drunk alcohol before?"Hugo's words immediately made Charlize show a look of disdain, "Of course not, I'm not a 'lady' who is willing to obediently follow regulations." Charlize deliberately emphasized the word "lady," which made Hugo laugh heartily.Although every country has a legal drinking age, no matter if this line is high or low, young people always have ways to break this boundary and enjoy the taste of alcohol in advance. For example, in the United States, although the legal drinking age is twenty-one, countless teenagers are already drinking during their high school years, even more indulgently than adults.Thus, half an hour later, Hugo and Charlize were sitting on the steps next to the street, blowing in the sea breeze, drinking beer, and enjoying a different kind of "bar" atmosphere. In this biting cold wind, drinking beer was really not a wise choice.Watching Charlize shivering slightly beside him, Hugo took off his overcoat and draped it over Charlize's shoulders.Charlize felt a wave of warmth wash over her, mixed with a faint masculine scent. It was just that the wind around them was too strong, making it impossible for Charlize to clearly distinguish what Hugo's scent was. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Hugo, "Are you demonstrating your gentlemanly conduct?"Usually, girls who receive such a gentle gesture from a boy would accept it happily, but Charlize was just different. Hugo chuckled softly, "No, I actually wanted to pull you into my arms and rely on artificial warmth. But I was worried about revealing my racing heartbeat, so I had to give up."Hugo's answer made Charlize giggle, "The way you put it, why do I feel like I'm in the Arctic?""You can try taking the coat off and see." Hugo raised his eyebrows and said with a helpless face. This expression made Charlize smile beautifully. She looked at the thin suit and shirt Hugo was wearing, touched the thick fabric of the coat on her shoulders with both hands, and then moved closer to Hugo. The two sat directly side by side. Charlize pulled half of Hugo's coat, wanting to drape it over his shoulders, but this obviously didn't work; the coat just slid right off.Hugo picked the coat up from the ground, looked into Charlize's eyes, and said, "You're leaning so close to me, aren't you worried that I'll suddenly turn into a wolf?" He brought the coat to the front and draped it over both their laps; this was much better immediately.Charlize looked at Hugo's clear eyes, which carried a warm smile. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Not worried."This immediately made Hugo let his mouth droop, "You are challenging my dignity as a man." Hugo pulled Charlize over in one motion. The distance between the two instantly became less than a finger's width. They could even clearly feel each other's breath. Hugo murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself, "You have to know, when a man and a woman are together, even if they are friends, a woman cannot question the energy of a man's hormones." But this murmur made all the time around them slow down, and the temperature began to rise bit by bit.The warm breath gently tapped against their lips, making the lips that had been frozen by the cold wind warm up again. Charlize chuckled, and that smile instantly dispelled all the cold around them. The pitch-black night slowly receded within the arc of her mouth, revealing a dazzling brilliance.Hugo couldn't help but lower his eyelids, looking deeply into Charlize's green eyes. The coquettishness and smile in her eyes were like the mist permeating a morning forest slowly pushing away, while the soft lips below his line of sight were exuding infinite temptation. Although they had only drunk a little beer tonight and it couldn't be called drunk at all, his head, which had been stiffened by the sea breeze, became chaotic. The energy of the alcohol was infinitely amplified, instantly rushing into his head. Hugo only felt that his head seemed to be constantly leaning forward.At the same time, Charlize was also looking at Hugo. The smile on the corners of her mouth couldn't help but stop there. Hugo's amber eyes were so clear that it felt like one could see directly into the bottom of his heart. That dizzying depth was like an endless abyss, making her constantly fall. An ambiguous atmosphere was exhaled from the two people's nostrils and lips, slowly wrapping around them. All thoughts in their brains slowed down, only leaning forward involuntarily. Even their eyelids seemed so heavy they couldn't open, starting to slowly droop.The distance between the two got closer and closer, closer and closer. All their breaths were entwined together, and each other's heartbeat was gradually amplified in their ears. That joyful and palpitating rhythm made their whole bodies exude a feeling of delight. Finally, when Hugo's lips touched Charlize's, that soft touch instantly made both of them lose themselves.Originally it was just a light touch, and the two separated, but that wonderful feeling made both of them unable to help but kiss again. (300 words deleted)Breathing became rapid. Because of the lack of oxygen, the two had to reluctantly separate, resting their foreheads against each other's heads. With slightly opened eyes, they could see the blush on each other's cheeks and the restless shadows in the depths of their eyes.Hugo didn't know how things had developed to this point either. Perhaps things had developed too smoothly, so at this moment, what should he do? Continue, or use reason to stop all of this?Charlize wasn't sure if what she was doing was right. This wasn't her first kiss, but it was the first time she had such an intense, passionate kiss with a man, and also the first time she had such intimate contact with a man. Yet the object was just a man she was meeting for the second time. Charlize didn't know if she should continue, or stop right here?In their dazed, intoxicated eyes, there was a faint halo. The other person's face radiated a blurred glow, as if it had infinite attraction, making the two move closer to each other. Alcohol doesn't make people drunk, people make themselves drunk; the alcohol content of the beer was not enough to make people dizzy, but the blending of emotions was catalyzed by the alcohol to produce the strongest effect.Thus, Hugo kissed Charlize's lips again, and Charlize did not refuse. She couldn't help but close her eyes, intoxicatedly enjoying the beauty of this moment. So, it turned out that just kissing could burst forth such a wonderful feeling; this was truly a too magical thing.From a kiss, to a touch, and then to a tight embrace...
