Dating is indeed a catalyst for relationships.

After the date day, some people finally crossed the ambiguous period and successfully held hands, and they could have sex with each other in the villa openly—such as May and Allen, James and Rachel—James and Rachel The fact that individuals can get together really surprised the other tenants, after all, when James first moved into the villa, the sexual orientation he filled in on the information card was gay. From this point of view, some people don't know themselves well enough before participating in the program;

the relationship between lovers who have been lovers before is more intense, and some casual interactions are full of sweetness, especially those who don't need words. The tacit understanding is even more enviable to others—except for the food experts Qian Erbai and Xia Changdian, the pair of Lindsay and Andrew have successfully become representatives of this echelon, and Jessie, who was the least optimistic about them at first, At this time, Ka also had to admire from the bottom of his heart, they are indeed a match made in heaven;

some people get what they want and live happily ever after, and of course there are others who get what they want but don't get sad. All the tenants thought that it was no suspense that Richard and Benjamin were together, but they didn't expect that after the date, the two would break up. Doubts arise—what happened between them?

As the most enthusiastic person in the entire villa, Jessica once again took the initiative to take on the important task of "acting as an emotional mentor and enlightening lost lambs". But this time, she is no longer alone.

Jessica was very pleasantly surprised when Gloria offered to help. Her face was full of unconcealed joy, and she was a little touched when she looked closely. Gloria was a little awkward, curled her lips and hurriedly vaccinated and said, "Richard is my friend, and I should take care of him when he encounters emotional problems." It seemed that these words were not convincing enough, so she added another He said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will go. So it's just a coincidence to help you. Don't think too much about it."

Jessica nodded to express her understanding, and asked Gloria solemnly, "This is a serious matter, and you must treat it with caution", but she looked at the other party with self-evident banter.

Gloria just didn't know, and went upstairs to talk to Richard with a serious face.

Jessica stood there staring at Gloria's greedy back for a while, and then thought of something, her face became hot, she hurriedly looked away, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then pretended to be calm Turn around and leave.

The relationship between Jessica and Gloria is more ambiguous.

Since the two formed a mutual aid group on the first confession day, they would or actively or passively meet each other in every event after that, as if they had encountered fate and were forcibly bound.

There are only two models of love in the world, one is love at first sight, and the other is love over time. Jessica's love at first sight was devoted to Rachel, and it has long since ended without a problem, while the love for a long time has taken root and thrived in the constant contact with Gloria.

However, the two parties refused to admit that this was love. They persistently characterized their affection and concern for each other as friendship. They were awkward but tried their best to maintain a peaceful appearance, as if there was something hidden behind the thin window paper. What kind of scourge is it, once it is pierced, it will be beyond redemption.

But since this is the arrangement of fate, how long can they escape?

Jessica finds Benjamin in the garden. He was standing in front of a swing, looking at things and thinking about people, his face was full of vicissitudes, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years for no reason. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned his head suddenly, the joy on his face froze instantly when he saw Jessica, and his beautiful lake green eyes also lost some of their brilliance. He forced a smile, greeted Jessica, and then was speechless.

Seeing his lonely appearance, Jessica couldn't bear it, so she became more determined to persuade him to make peace. She didn't go around too much, and directly explained the purpose of coming: "Benjamin, is there any misunderstanding between you and Richard? Maybe I can help?"

Benjamin hesitated. He is actually not a person who is used to opening his heart. Speaking of talking, he is better at listening. But at this time, he was indeed depressed by the freezing point of his relationship with Richard, and Jessica exuded a sincere and reliable aura, so he decided to accept help after a little thought.

The two sat down on the stone bench at one side, and Benjamin sorted out his words and told the whole story from the beginning. Jessica listened quietly, occasionally responding or nodding, quickly extracting key information in her mind, and she also found the crux of the problem when Benjamin finished speaking.

But she was not in a hurry to come up with an idea to help Benjamin save Richard. After all, she still didn't know what Richard was thinking. We still have to wait for Gloria to ask the result before making any calculations.

But she wasn't completely inactive. Benjamin's straight man operation made her, an outsider, feel a little suffocated, let alone Richard who was in the middle of the game. It's no wonder he rejected Benjamin, I'm afraid he was heartbroken. In order for Benjamin to fully realize her mistake, she analyzed for him from the perspective of a bystander from the beginning to the end what his behavior represented in the eyes of the other party.

Seeing Benjamin gradually showing a thoughtful expression, she couldn't help but smile in relief. Smiling and laughing, her mind went numb, and she suddenly felt like an old mother who had her heart broken - no wonder her relationship line was always at a loss, it turned out that her skill points were crooked. She seemed to be able to see on her skill tree, the radiant motherly love and the spirit of friendship looking at the desperate and dying love in the corner with love and compassion—she couldn't help but want to cry a handful of bitter tears for herself , she is still young, she also wants to have sweet love!

Gloria and Richard came to the restaurant together during lunch, and she saw Jessica sitting with Benjamin at a glance. Facing Jessica's questioning gaze, she nodded veiledly, indicating that the progress was good. Jessica was overjoyed, and she got up and went into the kitchen under the pretext of picking up the meal, but exchanged information with Gloria to make a plan for the next action.

As soon as Richard entered the restaurant door, he felt a scorching gaze, and he knew who it was without looking at him. He was a little moved in his heart, but tried his best to warn himself not to respond, and sat down with his head down away from Benjamin.

The hope in Benjamin's eyes gradually dimmed, and he looked at Richard from a distance, his face becoming more and more sad. He wanted to imitate the protagonist in the movie, he walked up to hold Richard's hand without hesitation, and asked him to have a talk. But a movie is a movie, if he really did this in reality, what awaits him is not a reconciliation, but a complete separation. He didn't want to see that scene.

He can run a farm by himself at a young age, and manage the business flourishingly, which is enough to prove that he is not stupid, but he is always in a difficult situation when it comes to emotions.

Jessica said that he "has no experience but poor EQ", and he thinks it is true, just like this date - from the racecourse to the restaurant to the bar, all the links are carefully designed by him, so that the talk show can The performance went smoothly. He practiced in front of the mirror for a long time the night before, reciting his lines in his sleep. I planned to take this opportunity to confess to Richard, but I didn't expect it to end badly.

He knew he wasn't Richard's ideal type, old, stuffy, unfashionable, unromantic, without James's muscular muscularity, and married... at first when he heard that he and James were The only choice, he could clearly see the disgust and unhappiness on Richard's face, and he remembered it vividly. He doesn't hold grudges, whether he likes it or not is Richard's personal freedom. Of course, it's out of the question to have a grudge, but it's like a thorn in his heart, even if Richard said later Sorry, the two got closer and closer, but he still couldn't forget the fact that he was Richard's only choice in desperation. This means that once he has other options, he is likely to be unable to keep the other party.

Once this idea is born, it is difficult to get rid of, which makes him always rack his brains to be good to each other when he gets along with Richard, but his emotional experience is really lacking. The only references are him and his late husband Alex. The twenty years from the beginning to the acquaintance with each other and finally the separation of yin and yang.

Maybe he borrowed it too often, so that he was too caught up in the memory, and sometimes even he would feel in a trance—who is sitting next to him?

In fact, Richard and Alex don't look alike, and their personalities are also two completely different directions. If it was before, he could say categorically that he never regarded Richard as a substitute for Alex. But after so much, especially being confronted by Jessica again, he suddenly couldn't be sure.

No one can bear a white moonlight living in the heart of a partner, let alone accept that all the care and love are just because the partner regards it as the shadow of this moonlight. He understood now why Richard had left.

Perhaps, he really should calm down and think about what he really wants. Thinking of this, Benjamin took another deep look at Richard, then got up and left the restaurant.

Jessica came out of the kitchen but didn't see Benjamin. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. She subconsciously looked at Richard, and she was relieved when she saw that he looked natural and didn't seem to be unhappy. It's rare that Richard still has feelings for Benjamin. If Benjamin pushes Richard further and further away because of Benjamin's impulsive suffocation, then not only will the reconciliation of the two be far away, but she and Gloria This morning has been really busy.

Her original plan was to take the opportunity of lunch to advise Benjamin, but now that the master is gone, her plan has also been put on hold. Looking at the two full set meals in her hand, she is a little worried: one person eats for two people, will Won't be too noticeable?
