After hearing what the system said, Benjamin fell silent.
This plot is too deep.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at the girl surrounded by the wall. In the past, Benjamin was already a soft persimmon. He was a soft persimmon because of the soft persimmon. How low should this girl's status in the aristocratic circle be
The two boys surrounding her probably didn't really want to ask her to dance.
A bit pitiful.
However, at this moment, the red-haired girl standing aside suddenly pushed Benjamin, shook her head angrily, and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person, and you didn't even want to go up and help her out. I really misjudged you, scumbag, goodbye!"
As she spoke, she shook her hair and strode away.
“…”
Some people around him also cast strange looks at him.
Benjamin felt innocent.
What could he do? It was also the system's fault. It didn't tell Benjamin that he actually had an ex-fiancée.
"... Just left like that, didn't she even want her limited edition bag?" The feeling of cheating lingered, and he could only divert his attention a little by vomiting in his heart.
"Fifteen minutes are up, I was stuck and left in seconds." The system replied.
“…”
incredible.
Benjamin shrugged helplessly, no longer caring about the red-haired girl, and returned his gaze to his ex-fiancée, Elizabeth. She saw that the two noble men were still surrounding her, as if they would not let her leave.
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frowned.
This is bullying girls.
Soon, Benjamin made a decision. There was no other meaning. He really couldn't sit back and watch this. He had to help her out.
Thinking this, he put the champagne in his hand on the table aside and walked over.
"Hey, gap-toothed girl, look around, is there anyone willing to dance with you? We invite you to dance, it's already your honor, how dare you refuse?"
Beside the wall, one of the noble men was talking to Elizabeth, getting closer and closer to her.
at this time.
"Who says no one wants to dance with her."
Benjamin said as he walked over and pushed him away with one hand. The noble man was unprepared and was pushed to stagger a few steps and almost fell.
Then, before anyone could react, he smiled and extended his hand to Elizabeth:
"Beautiful lady, please forgive my rudeness, can you please dance with me?"
To be honest, after completing this series of actions, Benjamin really had the illusion that he suddenly transformed into a domineering president, saving Cinderella who was in a difficult situation.
The people around were all gossiping, attracted by this scene, and looked like they were watching a good show.
"You..." The noble man who was pushed away seemed a little angry, but when he turned his head and saw Benjamin's face, the words in his mouth were suddenly choked.
"This lady doesn't want to dance with you. It's unbecoming of you to linger here." Benjamin said to the two people with a cold face.
He is not afraid that these two people will conflict with him. This period of military camp life also gave him a certain degree of confidence in his skills.
After hearing Benjamin's words, the expression on the noble man's face was uncertain, as if he was hesitating. Another person patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, father said, don't let us mess with Grant Reese, let's go."
He spoke relatively quietly, but Benjamin was relatively close and could still hear him.
“…”
It's Grant again.
So how much does he look like Grant, and why does everyone who sees him mistake him for Grant
Benjamin was still secretly cursing in his heart, but the noble man was persuaded by his companions. He glanced at Benjamin and Elizabeth again, showing a somewhat unwilling expression, but still said nothing and turned around to leave.
The enthusiastic onlookers also showed disappointed expressions, looked away, and went about their own business.
Seeing this, Benjamin suddenly felt that being mistaken for Grant was still beneficial.
At least he managed to avoid a boring and cliche conflict.
"I'm sorry, I should have come to help you earlier." He turned around, faced Elizabeth, touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly, "Um... are you okay?"
Elizabeth stared blankly at his face and said nothing.
Benjamin started to feel strange after staring at him.
… what's the situation
Is there something on his face
However, this was also the first time he saw the other person's face up close. After seeing it clearly, Benjamin's first feeling was doubt: This girl is not ugly at all. Why did Benjamin break off the engagement with her so excitedly in the past
From what Benjamin could see now, Elizabeth was a rather thin girl.
Her skin was pale and there was no color on her cheeks. Her pale golden hair hung down from the two halves. It was also a golden color that was so light that it was almost transparent, making her whole body look like she would turn into a puff of smoke and float away. Her pupils were ice blue and very light in color, so even if she stared at Benjamin, he would feel like she was in a trance.
Although he looks a bit sickly, he is really not ugly. If you are the kind of person who likes coolness, you might like him very much. Benjamin is really confused.
If I had to pick something wrong, it would be that there is a gap between her two front teeth. She seems to like to half-open her mouth when looking at people, showing the gap between her teeth, which also makes her expression look even more stupid.
"Is it just because of the gap between teeth?" Benjamin felt strange and couldn't help asking in his mind.
The technology here is not developed, and no matter how good-looking a person's face is, there will be more or less flaws. There is no plastic surgery assembly line, so no one's face is perfect.
It's a bit too much to humiliate people in public just because of this...
"This has nothing to do with whether you are good-looking or not." He could only hear the system explaining in his mind, "I was still young at that time, and school violence was unreasonable. As long as you are introverted, you will always Others will find a target. Once the rhythm is picked up, it will be difficult for you to wash away some names."
Hearing this, Benjamin suddenly felt enlightened.
He forgot to take into account his age and environmental factors at the time.
He couldn't help but think of a boy in his class when he was in middle school. In fact, that boy is quite handsome, but his mouth is a little bigger than the average person. But because someone took the lead, that person was ridiculed as a "bloody mouth" for three years. Even his girlfriend from the next class was brainwashed and dumped him because she thought he was a big talker.
When the mind is immature, people cannot realize how malicious this kind of thing is. They just thought it was fun, but never thought about how much harm it would cause to others.
In the past, Benjamin was actually bullied. But it's like the food chain. He has been bullied, so he needs to find someone better to bully, to slightly improve his status and prove that he is not at the bottom.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, became the innocent victim of this whole incident, and the gap between her teeth was just an excuse.
Thinking of this, Benjamin felt even more pitiful for this girl.
Although he did not do these things himself, he became the new Benjamin after all and inherited everything from Benjamin. Therefore, facing Elizabeth, he still felt more or less guilty.
If he had the chance, he really had to make it up to this girl.
Just when Benjamin was thinking this, Elizabeth finally ended her weird gaze. She suddenly spoke and said:
"You are not Grant. Grant would not be interested in helping me."
Hearing this, Benjamin smiled bitterly and nodded: "I am indeed not Grant, I am Benjamin."
Everyone recognized him as Grant, except Elizabeth.
This made Benjamin couldn't help but think of a sentence: "Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you." Benjamin's breakup of the engagement may have left an indelible shadow in her heart.
However, unexpectedly, Elizabeth maintained her seemingly blank expression, stared at Benjamin's face, and immediately said another sentence:
"You're not Benjamin either...who are you?"
