Chapter 107: Yongqi's small collapse, Benjamin works overtime
"Oh! This! I told you before that I suspected that he liked me, do you remember? But not long after, I found out that it didn't seem like that, because you told me that if he liked me, he would definitely show it. It's been so long, and I guess he just wants to be friends with me, so I don't have any psychological burden!" Xu Tian said without any concern.
Song Qing heard this and thought, OK! This silly girl must have been deceived by herself. She doesn't like you! She just wants to trick you into her hands slowly.
However, although Benjamin's direction was right, Xu Tian, the naive girl, did not follow his line of thought at all! She was indeed much more comfortable, but the problem that followed was that she treated Benjamin as a buddy!
"Also, we've been going to all kinds of delicious shops recently. Every time I bring you snacks, he finds them. I'm starting to wonder if he's a foodie like me!" Xu Tian said smugly while drinking tea, as if she had seen through Benjamin.
This silly girl is so cute~
"Well... let's say, is there a possibility? I mean maybe, Benjamin likes you, but hasn't figured out how to say it yet, so he accompanies you to eat, drink and have fun every day, looking for a breakthrough?" Seeing that this confused boy had convinced her, Song Qing suddenly felt that Benjamin's road to chasing his wife was a bit long, so she had to help him remind Xu Tian, the little fool, in a disguised way.
"Impossible! I'm with him every day, how can I not see it! Besides, we've all watched TV dramas, I know very well how he likes Xiaoyanzi, but he doesn't treat me like that. He takes me out to eat and drink every day, how can he like me? You! Don't guess here, I'm very smart this time!" After listening to Song Qing's words, Xu Tian didn't doubt it at all. She felt that she couldn't be wrong. It was Benjamin who treated him as a friend. Otherwise, why would he eat and drink all day long? Aren't they just talking about love and having a little romance? Really!
"As long as you are happy." Song Qing was also impressed by Xu Tian's cleverness! She really didn't listen to any advice! She had given him such a reminder, but he was still unmoved! There was no other way, so let it be! She tried her best.

"A-choo!" Benjamin was drawing when he suddenly sneezed.
Looking at the ruined portrait in front of him, Benjamin sighed softly. He had been working on this painting for several days, intending to use it to express his feelings in a few days! Now it was ruined like this, he was so angry!
But he sneezed himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else. However, according to what he learned from his friend, sneezing is caused by someone talking about you. Although there is no basis for this, he thinks it makes sense. He is now very angry with the person who just talked about him, otherwise his painting would not be ruined!
If he knew that the person who just talked about him was Xu Tian, would he still be angry?
Well, he should hurry up and make another one in the next few days!
"Benjamin! Are you there? Benjamin!" Just when Benjamin was about to draw another one, Yongqi's voice rang out.
Benjamin heard Yongqi's anxious voice and quickly ran over to open the door. "What's wrong? Yongqi, what happened?"
"Let's go in and talk." Yongqi did not answer Benjamin directly, but asked Benjamin to go in and talk. It was obviously not a pressing matter, but Yongqi's expression was not so good.
"Yongqi, why did you come to see me so late? Didn't Concubine Yu take care of you today?" Benjamin had a good relationship with Yongqi. He knew that Yongqi was being strictly controlled by Concubine Yu during this period. Basically, he had to report even if he wanted to leave Yonghe Palace. If he wanted to go to Shufangzhai, it was basically impossible! If they hadn't had a special day out of the palace granted by the emperor, Yongqi probably wouldn't have had the chance to see Xiaoyanzi.
"Benjamin, I'm so confused and tired. What does my mother want? Today, that Zhihua came into the palace. My mother did just as we expected before. She wanted me to have more contact with her and completely ignored Xiaoyanzi. I had a big fight with her just now, so I ran out and she didn't stop me." Yongqi felt so tired and decadent. He didn't know how to balance the relationship between his mother and Xiaoyanzi. He knew that Xiaoyanzi had tried very hard to please his mother, but his mother just didn't want to look at her even more.
Now that Zhihua has come, she forces herself to get along with her. Isn't this just making him abandon her in the end?
In fact, Benjamin also felt that Yongqi had a very difficult time during this period. He had to go to court to handle official business, was controlled by Concubine Yu, and had to find a way to see Xiaoyanzi every day. It was simply a survival in the cracks!
"Yongqi, why don't you tell Concubine Yu your feelings? It's not a good idea to keep going like this." Benjamin didn't have any good ideas. He felt that only sincerity could defeat everything, so he suggested that Yongqi use sincerity to influence Concubine Yu, although he felt that this method might not have any effect on Concubine Yu. However, we can't just let the situation develop like this!
"But it's useless! I've already made it clear before that I only like Xiaoyanzi, but my mother is not moved at all." Yongqi said helplessly. "It's okay, you don't have to worry too much. I just feel a little overwhelmed today, so I came here to complain. I will handle this matter properly."
Without waiting for Benjamin to say anything else, Yongqi quickly returned to his normal state. Maybe sometimes people just need an outlet to vent, and to get the words stuck in their hearts out, so they can feel better.
"You don't have to carry it all by yourself. Just tell me if there is anything wrong and we can solve it together." Benjamin comforted her.
"Yeah, okay." Yongqi recovered and looked a lot more normal. "By the way, didn't you prepare a surprise for Xu Tian before? How is the preparation going?" Not intending to bring up his troubles again, he quickly changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Benjamin was a little worried. The painting he had just finished was suddenly ruined. He would have to work overnight to repaint it! "Oh~ I accidentally ruined the painting I was almost ready for. I can only hurry up and paint another one in the next few days!"
