Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Benjamin was born into an aristocratic family in Great Britain. His father was a duke and was in charge of military and political affairs in the country.

Benjamin holds a high position in the family. As the youngest son in the family, Benjamin is very much loved.

However, Benjamin was passionate about art, especially painting, and had a strong interest in different cultures since he was a child. Therefore, he decided to take Lang Shining as his teacher and followed him to the distant Qing Empire.

This was actually a risky thing. In Great Britain, he could enjoy many privileges and live freely, but in the Qing Dynasty where he was unfamiliar with the place, he had to rely on himself for everything.

Moreover, all kinds of accidents may happen on the way to the Qing Dynasty, which are beyond human control. This is tantamount to tying your life to your belt.

But out of his yearning for the ancient and mysterious China, Benjamin came here resolutely.

During the Qing Dynasty, Benjamin worked hard to learn Manchu and Han culture, but due to his accent and appearance differences, it was not easy for him to integrate into the local society.

Although he was able to overcome other difficulties one by one, such as his accent, which could be improved through practice, his facial features were the only thing he felt helpless about.

As for why he likes Xiaoyanzi, Benjamin once analyzed himself deeply. Perhaps it is because in Xiaoyanzi's eyes, all beings are equal. She has never looked at him differently, and this equal treatment is exactly what Benjamin has longed for.

Gradually, he became dependent on this equality, and liking it became natural and logical.

"Don't you find my eyes strange?" Benjamin asked hesitantly. His voice was uncertain and fragile, as if he was afraid of being denied.

After all, people here don't like his appearance, especially his eyes. In order not to scare others, he rarely looks at others.

Yue Wanhan raised her head and looked at Benjamin seriously, with a firm light in her eyes. She smiled slightly and said softly but firmly: "How can it be strange? I think they are very beautiful!"

Yue Wanhan looked at Benjamin's eyes carefully and found that his eyes were as deep and charming as emeralds, exuding a unique charm, as mysterious as the sea.

She couldn't help but think of the elves in the legend, whose eyes were always so beautiful. At this moment, she felt as if she saw an elf hidden in the human world, and an indescribable love surged in her heart.

However, Benjamin couldn't help laughing. This laughter broke the tense atmosphere and made Yue Wanhan feel a little confused. She frowned and asked in confusion: "What's so funny?"

Benjamin tried to stop smiling, but the corners of his mouth still turned up. He explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just... your expression is so cute that I can't help but laugh."

Yue Wanhan suddenly realized what was going on, and a blush appeared on her face. She realized that she might have looked a little funny just now, so she lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered softly, "I'm just telling the truth."

Benjamin sensed Yue Wanhan's embarrassment, he gently held her hand and said softly: "It's okay, I know what you mean. Besides, I'm glad that you like my eyes so much."

Yue Wanhan raised her head and met Benjamin's eyes. She felt his sincerity and kindness, and the embarrassment in her heart gradually dissipated. She smiled and responded, "Of course, your eyes are really beautiful. Don't care about what others think, believe in your own beauty."

Benjamin nodded gratefully, his eyes full of warmth and trust. He whispered, "Thank you, Miss Yue. Your words make me very happy."

"Hey, hey, hey—what are you doing?" Yue Qingshu saw that in just a short while, the hand in front of him was already held. How could this be tolerated!

Yue Qingshu is very responsible as a brother. Although he and Yue Wanhan often quarrel, they are the only two of them in the Yue family, so they are still very friendly and respectful to each other.

Yue Qingshu became immediately displeased when he saw this blond, blue-eyed weirdo flirting with his sister.

It's obvious that he has bad intentions, look at his green eyes. He must not let his sister be fooled by this weirdo.

Yue Qingshu hurried forward to pull them apart. Yue Wanhan then noticed that they were holding hands, and blush spread to her cheeks again.

Benjamin also knew that he was being rude, mainly because in their country, holding hands, hugging and even kissing on the cheek were very normal things, but in the Qing Dynasty, what he did was out of line.

Although he had no intention of offending anyone, he was indeed rude first, especially since the girl had just helped him.

Thinking of this, Benjamin felt a lot more upset.

Seeing Benjamin's embarrassment, Yue Wanhan was no longer embarrassed.

"What are you talking about! Brother, everything a heart sees is dirty!"

"The painter in the class is reading my palm!" Yue Wanhan said confidently.

Yue Qingshu was confused and said, "Sister, do you think I, your brother, am a fool?"

But Yue Wanhan straightened her chest, feeling confident even though she was right.

That’s right! That’s it!

"Brother, that's the custom in their country. You should adapt to the local customs." Yue Wanhan took the initiative and fooled Yue Qingshu so much that he really doubted whether he was making a big deal out of nothing.

In a corner where Yue Qingshu couldn't see, Yue Wanhan winked at Benjamin, signaling him not to take it to heart.

If you really think about it, she didn't stop it. She would never admit that she was blinded by lust and forgot everything.

Luo Yu stepped forward and said, "Yes, Brother Yue, I remember it too. It was said in a book that their country is about holding hands, hugging, and..."

As she spoke, Luo Yu seemed to have thought of something and her face flushed. It was simply difficult for her, an unmarried woman, to speak of it.

"What else?" Yue Qingshu asked stupidly. Yue Wanhan was about to beat this straight man out. No wonder he couldn't win the fight for the prince. With such a stupid brain, it would be a blessing for their Yue family's ancestors to be able to marry him!

"What else? Of course there's kissing!" Yue Wanhan said shockingly, but there was no sign of joking on her face.

Yue Qingshu widened his eyes. Even he, who was always rough, could not adapt to such unrestrained behavior.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Benjamin changed instantly, as if he were a playboy.

Could it be that this boy was taking advantage of his inattention to flirt with his sister?

Not to mention doing it, just thinking about it made Yue Qingshu so angry that his teeth itched.

Benjamin waved his hands in panic. Why did he feel a chill on his neck?

Seeing the increasingly strange looks from the others, Benjamin explained hurriedly.

"It's not a kiss, it's a kiss. Just cheek to cheek. I'm a serious person."

"A drunk person will never say that he is drunk." Yue Qingshu said lightly.
