Matilda returned the gloves to Kelly. She wanted to ask Kelly why she gave the gloves to herself, but before she could ask, Kelly took the gloves back with a smile, and said with fear: "Hey, emotional I don't think it's enough to throw something away, but luckily you're here today, otherwise I'd be so heartbroken, these are the silk gloves of Vivi's spring limited edition this year!"

Matilda nodded, without further words, But Kelly's bright smile at the curtain call left a deep mark on her heart.

The performance ended and the night was deep. The three walked out of the night show talking and laughing, preparing to take the car of the program team back to the villa. At this time, the night wind was cool, and Kelly suggested walking back to the villa on a whim. Jared Yang had been high all night, and the excitement had not passed, so he agreed immediately. Matilda looked tired and didn't express her opinion. Kelly wanted her to sit in the car and follow them, but she walked ahead alone. Seeing this, the remaining two hurriedly followed, and the laughter continued to float.

The three of them here ended their date and started their return journey, and the other group's date also gradually came to an end.

Richard sat in the first row of the auditorium, looking at the man on the stage who was talking without restraint, his mood was a bit complicated.

While clapping his hands, he thought: Maybe he really didn't know this man before. After such a long time, he didn't know that Benjamin could talk about talk shows. Although Benjamin said that this was his first time on stage, neither the typhoon nor the rhythm connection seemed like a novice who had never been exposed to this type of public performance.

Benjamin asked him out on a date this morning, and he accepted without hesitation.

Since the first confession day, Benjamin has generously expressed his interest in him, and then used various opportunities and occasions to show his affection to him frequently. Under the tenderness of this man nineteen years older than himself He gradually lowered his guard and developed a good impression. Over time, he felt that it was almost a matter of course for the two of them to be together, and this date might be an opportunity for their relationship to go further.

Benjamin is a very thoughtful and considerate man. He will always pay attention to Richard's emotions. After a day is arranged, Richard only feels as if he is the happiest person in the world.

They went to a horse farm together. Benjamin was the trainer himself, and after getting Richard's permission, he rode with him on the same horse and took him to experience the joy of riding a galloping horse. The racecourse is very open, but there are not many people. The scenery in front of him is bumpy, and the wind is whistling past his ears. He couldn't help but hallucinate, as if he and Benjamin were the only ones left in the world, and the horse beneath him It also seems to have infinite power, and it can continue to gallop without stopping.

After getting off the horse, Richard's thigh felt sore, but because the location was too secret, he was too embarrassed to tell Benjamin only, so he had to endure the pain and pretend that everything was normal. Benjamin was careful, and soon saw through his disguise, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he took him to the rest room to find a professional technician to help him massage. In order to help Richard relax, Benjamin continued to tell him about his farm and his past, and promised to take Richard to his farm if he had the opportunity.

Richard heard what he meant, shy in his heart, lowered his head and didn't respond, but actually he was thinking about the feasibility of moving to the farm.

Afterwards, the two watched a movie together. Under the dim light of the theater, Benjamin boldly took Richard's hand. Richard's face was flushed and he was nervous, but he didn't break free.

After the movie ended, it was almost evening, and the relationship between the two seemed to have broken through the layer of window paper called "friends". Although they did not hold hands anymore, they walked very close together, and the fingers on the back of their hands touched each other from time to time It's not a lot of fun.

After dinner, Benjamin invited Richard to the bar for a drink, and Richard nodded without blushing. In the adult world, the subtext of a drink is often accompanied by passion and hormones, and Richard walked beside Benjamin, feeling a little nervous.

The two drink some wine and things get heated, and Benjamin invites Richard to join him for a dance. Richard was not shy either, he stood up and put his hands on it with a smile.

At this time, the music suddenly changed from dynamic to soothing and warm, and the swinging crowd retreated, leaving the circular dance floor to couples.

Richard was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. It was just a coincidence. He was quite happy in his heart, and smiled brightly with his arms around Benjamin's shoulders.

At the end of the song, the two of them sweated a little. There were beads of sweat on the tip of Richard's nose. Benjamin naturally wiped it off with a handkerchief, and then gently scraped the bridge of his straight nose with his fingers. Doting and caring: "I'm tired, let me help you order a glass of water."

Richard was provoked by Benjamin's ambiguous actions and his heart beat faster. This should be a behavior between lovers. It's actually a bit of an overreach to make a clear relationship, but Richard only feels sweet when he looks at Benjamin's broad back.

There is an open mic venue in the bar, and there are usually some bands or comedians who come here to perform. Today, the band performing on the stage is a band that is notoriously famous on the Internet. They sang a few classic songs, and then He sang an original song of his own, which won the applause of many people. While applauding, Richard looked around, wondering why Benjamin had been in the bathroom for so long.

The manager of the bar is also the host of the open mic. He stepped onto the stage, motioned the guests to be quiet, and then announced that an audience member had volunteered to perform a talk show for everyone, but because he was an amateur player, he asked everyone to show their respect. Don't hesitate to laugh.

With the foreshadowing of the previous band, the whole venue is now heated up. Hearing this, people from the audience applauded immediately, jokingly saying that as long as they don't tell bad jokes, they will definitely be the most supportive audience.

The host didn't talk nonsense, and directly reported the actor's name. Hearing Benjamin's name, Richard's eyes widened. He turned his head and looked around, wondering if it was a prank, when Benjamin himself came out from the backstage and stood on the stage.

It could be seen that Benjamin took good care of himself before going on stage. His hair was combed high and his beard was straightened out. He really looked radiant and energetic. He greeted the audience in the audience, and then started his performance by introducing himself.

Richard sat directly opposite the stage, looking at the man in high spirits on the stage, listening to him tell about his family, his mischievous childhood, and his life with her husband in a relaxed and humorous tone and humorous words Funny, moody ups and downs. He knew that he was getting into a dead end, but he couldn't stop himself. He couldn't help thinking that all the kindness Benjamin had done to him was for another man before, and he might just be a substitute for him.

He suddenly felt sour in his heart. Hearing the laughter and applause around him, he became more and more embarrassed and just wanted to escape.

Benjamin was in excellent condition, as if he had returned to the time when he was performing for neighbors and friends in the bar of the small town. He ended his talk show with a clever call back. He subconsciously looked at the position directly opposite the center of the stage, but suddenly realized There would never be that angel-like man sitting there again, and he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Seeing Benjamin cast his gaze over, Richard quickly covered his thoughts and applauded him with a smile, but he did not ignore the nostalgia in Benjamin's eyes.

Benjamin stepped off the stage amid applause. He nodded and smiled in response to the audience's praise, and then went to sit next to Richard. A person in the front row turned around with a drink, looked at Richard, and said to Ben with a smile: "You are very good. Is this your husband? You are a good match."

Benjamin thought it was not good, just wanted to After explaining clearly, Richard apologized, stood up and walked outside on the pretext of being unwell. Benjamin also glanced at the man apologetically, and quickly chased after Richard. Because Benjamin said that his husband was not in good health in the talk show, the man didn't suspect that he had said something wrong, but it was a pity that he couldn't have a few more words with the couple.

Richard didn't go far, but just stood outside the door. He felt as if something was blocked in his chest, and he urgently needed to come out to breathe.

Benjamin looked at Richard who was silent, feeling uneasy. He stood two steps in front of Richard, thinking about how to explain it.

Richard over there had a sensitive mind, but his mind became colder because of the two steps away. He felt that it was only at this moment that he saw clearly that Richard had always maintained a gentleman's etiquette to him. Even now that the relationship between the two has made a breakthrough, he still has to keep a gentleman's distance. The reason is that it is not enough care.

Benjamin still misses his deceased husband. His life is full of the shadow of that person. Richard has no confidence to take the place of that person, nor is he willing to live in the shadow of others. It's not deep yet, get out and leave as soon as possible.

So, he looked at Benjamin, and said with difficulty: "You are really happy..."

When he was about to quit, he realized how difficult it was to say these words, every word he said was like a knife stabbed at him There was flesh gouging out of his heart, and before he could say a word, he was already so painful that he lost his strength.

Benjamin was anxious and wanted to make amends in a panic: "Sorry, I shouldn't mention him too much, it's embarrassing for you..."

"It's okay, I envy the relationship between you, and I hope to find a soul mate who is as happy as you in the future." Richard took a deep breath, and said this sentence almost in a breathy voice, his face With deep tiredness on his face, he turned his eyes away and didn't want to look at Benjamin, "That's it for today, I'm a little tired, can you take me back?"

Benjamin opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. After getting in the car, the two sat side by side, but Richard closed his eyes expressionlessly, refusing to communicate. Benjamin felt bitter in his heart, and his face was full of sadness.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Benjamin wanted to open the door for Richard, but Richard got out of the car before him. The two seemed to have become strangers again. From entering the villa to stopping at the door of Richard's room, the two kept a distance without talking.

Richard turned around and stood opposite Benjamin, and smiled alienatedly: "Thank you for your invitation, I had a great time today. Good night." After finishing speaking, before Benjamin could answer, he opened the door and went back to the room.

Richard leaned his back against the door and looked up at the dark ceiling, his eyes slightly bulging. The current scene is very similar to a few weeks ago, but the difference is that his heart is really messed up.

Benjamin looked at the closed door, frowned and scratched his beard uneasily. After a long while, he let out a weak breath and sighed in a low voice: Oops, I seem to have screwed up.
