New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Qing'er followed the two maids leading the way and walked towards the dining hall. When they walked around the corridor, they suddenly heard a familiar female voice, and the protagonist of the topic turned out to be Benjamin from Great Britain!

This unexpected discovery made the three people very excited, as if they had discovered a new world. They could not suppress their curiosity and, regardless of their status, they could not wait to peek around the corner of the corridor just to find out what was going on. The three people all had a suspicious smile on their faces, as if they were looking for gossip.

The two maids who were ordered to invite the young ladies to the dining hall saw that the three young ladies were so keen on watching the fun, and they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that since the young ladies were so interested, let them enjoy this moment. So, they stopped disturbing them and quietly followed behind, looking forward to watching this lively show up close.

At this moment, they saw a rockery not far away. Benjamin's face flushed and his steps hurried, as if he was eager to escape from that place. However, the girl in a pink double-breasted dress showed her excellent Qinggong skills, flipped over and landed in front of him lightly, blocking his way.

The person who came was the little junior sister from the Sword Sect, An Yaxin, who came with them.

At this time, Anya Xin's pretty face was flushed, but her eyes were staring angrily at the man who was trying to escape in front of her. She couldn't help but ask again, "Benjamin, how could you kiss me and then run away? Don't you want to be responsible for me?"

Benjamin looked at the girl's pretty face, which was red. He didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or anger. He was a little confused at the moment. He was speechless for a moment when he heard her questioning. His face and earlobes turned red. He looked into her big round eyes and subconsciously dodged her gaze. After mumbling a few words, he said, "I, I didn't. I, I was just a little confused for a moment."

His voice was very small and a little flustered, like a frightened fool, which made people feel pity. However, Anya Xin did not soften her heart. She clenched her fists tightly, tears flashing in her eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Benjamin, you actually said that you are just confused! What about my feelings? What do you think of me? A tool that you can play with at will?"

Her voice became louder and louder, and her emotions became more and more excited, with tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground. Seeing her so sad, Benjamin's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "No, it's not like that, Xinxin, I...I really am not..."

His words were full of helplessness and confusion. He seemed not to understand how the other party could have ended up in such an embarrassing situation after being merely curious about his painting skills and watching him draw a picture.

Here's the thing. Ever since An Yaxin and Luo Junchen saw injustice and helped others in the first town, An Yaxin saw through at a glance that someone was trying to assassinate Benjamin, and she took action to deal with the other person without hesitation.

Therefore, it can be said that Anya Xin saved Benjamin's life. However, when Benjamin wanted to repay her for saving his life, she refused without a care, saying that she was just helping others when she saw injustice and did not care about this so-called life-saving grace.

Therefore, Xiaoyanzi and others did not know that there was a bond between them because of such a lifesaver.

Last night, when they had just arrived at the Lin residence, after dinner, Benjamin followed the servant's instructions to his yard. When he saw a high roof not far away, he looked up and saw the stars in the sky and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and his heart moved slightly. After sending the servant away, he returned to the house to pick up his belongings, ready to go to the high roof to enjoy the night view, and by the way, draw it as a souvenir.

In the dead of night, everything was quiet. After Benjamin packed up his drawing board and brush, he looked at the bright moonlight and felt that he was not too sleepy yet, so he decided to paint for a while. So he jumped onto the roof and sat there quietly admiring the night sky, waving his brush on the drawing paper, trying to record this beautiful night scene.

While he was concentrating on describing the night sky, he didn't know that he had been discovered. It turned out to be Anya Xin, who was not sleepy at all and was walking around the house. When she accidentally looked up and saw Benjamin on the roof, she couldn't help but feel curious. She tapped her toes, flew onto the roof lightly, and then quietly walked behind Benjamin.

Perhaps because her footsteps were too light, or because Benjamin was too absorbed in his painting, he didn't notice someone approaching behind him. After all, who would have expected that someone else would stay up like him and climb onto the roof at this late hour? Therefore, except for occasionally looking up to observe the scenery in the sky, he kept his head down most of the time, concentrating on drawing on the sketchbook with the hairless charcoal pencil.

An Yaxin originally wanted to scare him when he wasn't paying attention, but when she saw him painting so attentively, she leaned over to see what was going on. She was surprised to find that Benjamin only used a few strokes of gray charcoal to outline a beautiful night scene. She couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart: "Wow! That's amazing." But in order to avoid disturbing him, she only dared to cover her lips and exclaim in her heart.

The night was as dark as ink. There were only a few faint lights flickering in the quiet Lin Mansion, as if guarding the tranquility in the darkness. Above the sky, the stars were dotted, occasionally blinking, like bright gems inlaid in the deep sky. And the crescent moon hung high in the sky, like a silver bow, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet night. Such a picture makes people feel a deep sense of tranquility and beauty.

Under this beautiful scenery, Anya Xin quietly admired it, and a trace of amazement surged in her heart. She didn't expect Benjamin to be so amazing, and he could use his brush to depict this beautiful night scene so realistically. Oh, I heard that he is an aristocrat from Great Britain, who has dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially has a deep understanding of painting.

Thinking of this, her face was full of strong interest, and her eyes were fixed on the brush in Benjamin's hand, looking forward to his next stroke. Watching him finish the last stroke, she finally couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, Benjamin, you are really amazing! This painting is so vivid!"

However, at this moment, under the cover of night, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind, which frightened Benjamin so much that the charcoal pencil in his hand almost broke. He turned back with a look of horror, subconsciously stood up and stepped back a few steps, almost jumping off the roof. After seeing who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly, "Why are you here?"

During this period of time with An Yaxin, although their relationship is not as close as that between Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Qing'er, it is still much closer than that between others.

Seeing his expression, Anya Xin couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and pursed her red lips slightly, "Why do you have such a ghostly expression? Do I look scary?"

Benjamin shrugged helplessly. "What do you think? Miss An, you almost scared me just now."

An Yaxin looked at his still pale face, feeling a little guilty. She stuck out her tongue playfully and said apologetically, "Okay, I scared you. I apologize. I'm really sorry! I was just curious about what you were doing. I didn't expect you to be so focused that you didn't even notice me approaching you."

After hearing her sincere apology, Benjamin realized that he was careless this time, so he said nothing more and turned around to return to his original seat to continue painting. However, at this moment, the tiles under his feet suddenly loosened, and he lost his balance and was about to fall.

After seeing this, An Yaxin rushed forward without hesitation. She stretched out her arms and hugged the man's strong waist tightly, and took him back to where they had just sat. However, because the action was too violent, An Yaxin could not control her strength, and was directly pressed under Benjamin. Not only that, his body hit the roof heavily, causing her back to feel a burning pain.

What was even more surprising was that his slightly cold lips actually pressed against her soft red lips. Both of them were instantly stunned by this sudden change, staring at each other with wide eyes...
