Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

But these are just their own choices.

To put it bluntly, wanting to have it all will only backfire on you. No one in this world is irreplaceable.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions, whether it is Benjamin, Yongqi, or anyone else.

As for He Xi, all she can do is to stick to her heart and do her part well.

After all, life is short, why bother yourself with troubles?

Looking at Benjamin's melancholy expression, He Xi felt that it was not entirely one-sided.

So she decided to use her last resort: the association method.

"Benjamin, this is to prove that you and Wanhan have no romantic feelings for each other."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Benjamin's eyes, and He Xi immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that I am destined to be the matchmaker.

"How did you feel when you knew that Xiaoyanzi liked someone else?" He Xi transformed into an emotional mentor, focusing on self-confidence.

He Xi's question brought back those times. Xiao Yanzi was a very good and loyal friend, and he liked her because of her cheerfulness.

He still remembered that he knew Yongqi liked Xiaoyanzi at that time, and Xiaoyanzi also had a vague love for Yongqi.

They hadn't broken the window paper yet, and the ambiguous atmosphere had always surrounded them. If he had taken the lead at that time, he might have had a chance of winning, but he didn't.

Although he claimed to be upright, love was originally exclusive. At that time, apart from feeling disappointed, he had no intention of destroying their relationship.

He looked at Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi together, and although he felt unwilling, he did not disturb them.

After all, he didn't want to lose his good friend Xiaoyanzi. However, every time when it was late at night, he couldn't help but think of Xiaoyanzi's smile and the time they spent together.

However, these beautiful memories have become a thing of the past, and he can only bury these feelings deep in his heart.

Now thinking about it, how deep is this kind of love? Benjamin suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. His brows slightly wrinkled, and his eyes became confused and deep.

"I don't know. Apart from sadness, I can only wish them well. After all, they are my good friends. If they like each other, I will be happy." Benjamin's face was full of relief. He tried to cover up the waves in his heart with a calm tone. However, the bitterness could not be completely hidden.

But that bitterness is more of a recollection of the past.

"Miss Yue is also about to get married, how do you feel?" He Xi slowed down her voice, her eyes were as calm as deep water, yet with a penetrating power that was impossible to escape.

Her eyes were fixed on Benjamin's expression, as if she wanted to see through his appearance to his true emotions deep in his heart.

Benjamin was stunned. His heart was like being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He began to ache. He unconsciously covered his chest, trying to relieve the pain, but found it was useless. His eyes flickered with darkness, and the pain in his heart was beyond words.

He imagined Yue Wanhan's smile blooming for others, and Yue Wanhan leaning in someone else's arms. These images were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart. His face gradually turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, but he could not make a sound.

His silence had given Hexi the answer, but Hexi quietly waited for him to say it himself. She knew that this was a difficult moment, especially for Benjamin. But she believed that only by facing the true feelings could she find the real answer.

No one can wait in the same place forever. If there is any, it only exists in the drama.

What's more, there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them. Long-distance love is a difficult hurdle to overcome even in modern times when communication is very convenient, let alone in this era where a letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Once Benjamin leaves here, the fate between them will be broken and there will be no possibility.

Benjamin tried hard to deny it, but his bitter expression betrayed him.

"I..." Benjamin hesitated, he knew he couldn't deny the feelings deep in his heart.

Those vivid images were something he could neither ignore nor deny.

He Xi looked at him silently, with a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

"I know Wanhan's feelings, but..." Benjamin tried to explain.

He Xi interrupted him: "You don't have to explain anything, I understand. But some things must be faced eventually. What you have to face is not your feelings but your heart."

Benjamin was silent for a moment, but finally decided to be honest: "I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to deceive my heart. I do have... feelings for Wanhan."

He Xi smiled slightly, thinking that this man was quite honest. She knew that Yue Wanhan's position in Benjamin's heart was more important than before.

Although they didn't have much of a relationship, and he didn't have as deep memories as with Xiaoyanzi and others, those little bits and pieces were clearly imprinted in his heart.

He Xi said softly: "In fact, there is no need for me to say more. Your heart has already told you the answer."

Benjamin nodded subconsciously in agreement.

He Xi continued, "You don't have much time left. Do you want to fight for it or bury your feelings? The second time, it's your choice." She deliberately emphasized the word "the second time", implying that he should not make the same mistake again. Don't repeat the same mistake.

Benjamin suddenly felt as if his heart was being stabbed by two or three sharp knives.

He Xi has always been good at hurting people's hearts. She is an expert at hurting people's hearts.

His face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly, as if he could not bear such pain.

He realized that deep in his heart he had always had special feelings for Yue Wanhan, and this choice would determine whether he would face it honestly or cowardly choose to turn a blind eye.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but he found that his attitude was not as firm as before.

He began to doubt whether he could honestly say that he had no selfish feelings towards Yue Wanhan. This question kept circling in his mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.

He admitted that he felt guilty.

"Thank you." Benjamin said sincerely. If He Xi hadn't revealed his thoughts, he would have been deceiving himself forever and he didn't know whether he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"It's okay, as long as you don't mind my meddling in your affairs." He Xi smiled slightly.

In the past, she would have definitely watched from the sidelines, but it's not bad to slowly integrate into this world and occasionally mind its own business.

Help those who deserve help.
