Good morning, roommates!

On the early morning of the second day, Hugo, still drowsy, headed towards the bathroom. However, he found the door locked and knocked on it. Charlize's voice came from inside, "I'm in here."

Hugo was suddenly wide awake and realized that all three rooms in the house were occupied, and the third guest was Charlize Theron, a glamorous guest. Hugo politely coughed and said, "Take your time, I can wait." Then he leaned against the door, folded his arms, and started to wait.

After a while, the door of the room opposite the bathroom also opened. Alex stood at the door with a messy hairdo, looking confusedly at Hugo. It took him a while to realize that Hugo also wanted to use the bathroom but found it occupied. Alex pointed to the bathroom and frowned but his eyes were still half-closed, projecting an ambiguous questioning look.

However, Hugo understood Alex's question, nodded, and then pointed in the direction of the bathroom with his right thumb. Facing Hugo's gesture, Alex surprisingly also understood and just leaned against the door, closing his eyes and resting.

The sound of water intermittently came from the bathroom, and soon the sound of wastewater flowing into the sewer could be heard. The rushing water sounded strange in his ears, and Hugo felt his bladder's swelling sensation began to stimulate his brain. He opened his eyes and looked at the bathroom door, which still showed no signs of opening. Hugo couldn't help but slap his head, how could he forget that women always take extra long in the bathroom.

Hugo couldn't take it anymore and walked straight to the sofa in the living room, feeling much more comfortable without the sound of running water in his ears.

Alex had originally insisted on standing at the door of his room, but he couldn't hold on for too long and awkwardly walked over and flopped onto the sofa. After a while, Alex couldn't take it anymore and jumped up, ran to the bathroom door and knocked, "Charlize, are you done yet?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be done soon." Charlize's voice came out of the bathroom, sounding hurried and flustered.

Alex stood at the bathroom door for about thirty seconds, but he couldn't hold on and slumped back to the living room, not even lying down, just sitting obediently on the sofa. Alex looked in melancholy and asked Hugo, "Are all women this troublesome?"

Hugo shrugged, "You shouldn't be asking me that."

Alex looked sad, "Does this have to happen every day from now on?"

Hugo nodded, feeling sad too. The use of the bathroom was indeed a problem, "Or do you plan to arrange a bathroom usage schedule?"

Alex couldn't hide his disdain as he sneered and his eyes showed a hint of contempt, a behavior that had not been seen in the past few days of interaction. It seems that even idols must take a back seat when it comes to physiological needs.

As soon as the lock of the bathroom clicked, Hugo and Alex rushed towards the bathroom together. But when the door opened, they both hit the brakes and saw Charlize's rosy cheeks as she looked apologetic and embarrassed while peeking out, "Sorry, I took some time in there. From now on..."

"Don't apologize, I may not be able to wait any longer," Hugo interrupted Charlize and said with a gloomy face. Then Charlize awkwardly stepped aside, and Hugo rushed in before Alex and locked the door, leaving Alex angry and growling lowly, "Hugo!"

Charlize couldn't help but laugh at Hugo's misery and Alex's embarrassment. But when her smile met Alex's resentful gaze, she immediately restrained herself and said, "Today is a special day, I promise it won't happen again." Last night's wash was just a quick rinse, but she took some extra time in the bathroom this morning to get familiar with it.

Alex couldn't say anything because he had just met Charlize yesterday and even though they were roommates, he had to maintain his gentlemanly style. "I'll pray for you," Alex said in a pitiful tone, which made Charlize laugh again.

At that moment, Hugo's voice came from inside the bathroom, "Alex, should I brush my teeth first?"

"Hugo!" Alex immediately became anxious. It's clear that male needs can be taken care of much faster than female needs, and Hugo's teasing him about it was becoming annoying.

Hearing Alex's anxious voice, Hugo immediately burst into muffled laughter, which could be heard clearly outside. "Okay, I'll at least wash my face. After all, there's a lady present, and I need to keep my appearance up," Hugo said with a grin.

Charlize turned back and looked at Alex's messy hair, unable to hold back her laughter. But Alex had no energy to care about his hairstyle at the moment and pleaded with the bathroom, "Hugo, I really can't hold it anymore."

Before Alex could finish his sentence, the bathroom door opened and Alex rushed in, not even waiting for Hugo to come out. Hugo immediately panicked and hurriedly left the bathroom, laughing at Charlize's side.

At this moment, Hugo didn't look great. His curly hair was even more disheveled than usual because he didn't sleep well last night, and the oil on his face from sleep hadn't been cleaned off, making him look very messy.

However, Hugo seemed very relaxed as he smiled at Charlize, saying, "We're roommates anyway, so someday you'll see this scene. Today is just a little earlier. As for the problem of the impact being too strong, I believe you can handle it well." His calm and relaxed demeanor almost made Charlize laugh until her stomach hurt.

Today, Charlize looked refreshed because she got up and washed up first. In fact, the first time Hugo met Charlize, she was wearing no makeup, and he could clearly see her natural beauty. Today was no exception. With delicate facial features and smooth skin, her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and gray sweatpants, with a white towel draped over her shoulders, but it didn't diminish her beauty in the slightest.

Hugo quickly shifted his gaze away. Since they had already decided to be friends, there was no need to overthink it.

Charlize also noticed Hugo's calmness. This kind of interaction reminded her of the first time they met, which was a bit awkward and rushed, but also comfortable and pleasant. It seemed that being friends was suitable for the two of them. "What time are we going to Burbank?"

Hugo looked around for a clock, but he didn't have a watch, and there were no clocks in the house. It was really troublesome to determine the time. "They said we should arrive at ten o'clock. What time is it now?"

Charlize had a watch and checked the time. "It's five minutes to nine."

"Oh, my God." Although it was only a 20-mile drive from here to Burbank, which would only take about 30 minutes, it was a rush hour now, and who knew how bad the traffic would be. Hugo immediately turned around and slammed the bathroom door hard. "Alex, hurry up, I'm going to be late."

Alex immediately opened the bathroom door with a toothbrush in hand, obviously still brushing his teeth. But Hugo didn't care and rushed in, quickly brushing his teeth, washing his face, and taking the opportunity to rinse his hair. During this process, Joseph finally came downstairs. Charlize answered the door, and Joseph looked at the busy Hugo. He also didn't stand idle and went straight to the kitchen to take out yesterday's toast, bacon, and other things from the refrigerator.

Charlize had the intention of helping out, but since she didn't know Joseph well, she didn't get involved and instead went to the side to start making coffee, hoping to be of some assistance.

Hugo hurriedly changed into a shirt and trousers. Last time at the audition, he dressed simply because he didn't open his luggage. However, he accidentally matched the restaurant's atmosphere. Today he was meeting with members of the production crew, so he couldn't be careless. Finally, holding his tie and suit jacket, Hugo rushed to the lobby and said, "Joseph, let's go!"

Joseph was originally making coffee but was in a hurry and couldn't catch up. Charlize immediately said, "Take the coffee with you." Then she quickly took out cling wrap and packed the sandwiches that Joseph had just made and handed them to Hugo.

Hugo put his jacket and tie on his arm and took the sandwiches. He smiled at Charlize and then walked quickly out. Joseph followed with a cup of coffee. The two of them left in a hurry. Charlize and Alex stood dumbfounded at the door for a while, then walked to the window sill of the lobby. They saw Hugo and Joseph get into the car. Hugo threw his suit and tie onto the back seat, held the sandwich in his right hand, and the coffee in his left, and then carefully got into the passenger seat.

Hugo seemed to notice the gaze above his head, raised his head, and saw the two figures of Charlize and Alex. They both waved to Hugo, and he smiled and waved back. He shouted loudly, "Good morning, roommates!" and then got into the passenger seat.

Joseph quickly started the car and drove away.

Charlize and Alex, who were left by the window, breathed a sigh of relief. Alex suddenly realized that he was still biting his toothbrush, and he had only brushed half of his teeth. The foam at the corner of his mouth was almost dry. He quickly ran towards the bathroom with his messy hair fluttering in the wind.

Charlize looked around at the somewhat empty lobby. There was still a pot of coffee on the restaurant table. The toaster had just finished baking two slices of bread, which had just popped out. She looked at the slippers Hugo wore at home, which were left messy on the floor at the door. She could even see faint water stains from the door to the bathroom.

Charlize couldn't help but stretch and yawn. At this moment, she finally realized that her acting career was taking its first steps.
