The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Shen Yilin frowned, staring at the handsome young man in front of him with doubtful eyes. His voice was low and majestic: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao's face showed a look of surprise. He widened his eyes and looked at Shen Yilin in disbelief: "Me! I am Xiaoyao~"

His tone was full of excitement, and he seemed very surprised that he was not recognized.

"Don't you remember me? We played together when we were little, and you even gave me a jade pendant and asked me to keep it safe."

As Li Xiaoyao spoke, he eagerly reached into his collar and took out the jade pendant, handing it to Shen Yilin, his eyes full of anticipation and desire for recognition.

Shen Yilin stared at the jade pendant, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He carefully observed the texture of the jade pendant and the word "Yi" carved on it, and a sense of familiarity gradually arose in his heart.

He was sure that this was indeed the jade pendant he once owned.

However, his expression turned gloomy.

Because he clearly remembered that his mother had told him that the jade pendant was stolen.

Shen Yilin narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them. He lowered his voice and ordered the guards behind him, "Go report to the authorities."

His tone was cold and resolute, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on this small jade pendant.

Shen Yi, the guard standing behind Shen Yilin, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a look of sympathy appeared on his face.

He glanced at Li Xiaoyao, then turned and walked towards the government office.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yilin's mouth. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said softly, "Can you return this jade pendant to me?"

Li Xiaoyao's face was a little pale. He bit his lips tightly, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

But in the end, he nodded and expressed his willingness to return the jade pendant.

After all, this jade pendant originally belonged to Brother Yi, and now it is just being returned to its original owner.

Shen Yilin carefully placed the jade pendant in his arms and continued, "I was injured when I was a child and have lost some of my memory. Can we find a quiet place to talk in detail? I really want to know how we met."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao quickly nodded and said, "Of course, no problem!"

After that, he pointed to the restaurant across the street and enthusiastically introduced it: "How about Tianxianglou? The food there is delicious."

He comes down the mountain to eat here every two weeks.

Shen Yilin nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then followed Li Xiaoyao into the restaurant.

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand generously and booked a private room.

After the two sat down, Li Xiaoyao couldn't wait to start talking about his childhood.

"Brother Yi, we met in my garden, right in Lijiabao. Do you still remember?"

Shen Yilin took a sip of tea and shook his head slightly at the boy.

When Li Xiaoyao heard this, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, and he sighed helplessly: "Is that so..."

"Can you tell me why I appeared in Lijiabao at that time?" Shen Yilin asked. He hoped to learn more about his lost memories.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, a glimmer of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

He began to tell the story of that time, his tone full of emotion and nostalgia.

"Of course you can. At that time, you told me that you were separated from your family and wanted to stay in Lijiabao for a few days until your family came back to find you. You also didn't allow me to tell anyone else about your existence, so of course I agreed."

Li Xiaoyao said softly, his eyes revealing his trust and concern for Shen Yilin.

"At that time, you lived in the fake cave in my garden. I would sneak out every day to play with you and bring you some food."

Li Xiaoyao continued speaking, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was recalling those good times.

"A few days later, you told me that your family had found you, but you still came to see me secretly every day."

"Three months later, you were leaving Jinzhou. When we parted, you said you would come find me when I grew up, but you never came..."

Li Xiaoyao's voice became lower and lower, as if he had lost all his strength. The light in his eyes dimmed, revealing an unconcealable sadness.

Shen Yilin listened to Li Xiaoyao's story silently, and an indescribable pain surged from the depths of his heart.

He tried desperately to recall, but the memories in his mind were like fog, preventing him from grasping any clear fragments.

However, he could deeply feel Li Xiaoyao's deep affection and endless expectations for him.

This emotion was like a surging wave, constantly impacting his mental defenses.

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open suddenly without warning, making a crisp sound.

Shen Yi walked quickly into the room and nodded slightly to everyone. Then several constables in official uniforms stepped forward quickly and pinned Li Xiaoyao to the ground.

The leading officer had a gloomy expression and stared at Li Xiaoyao fiercely: "It was you, a little thief, who stole this gentleman's jade pendant!"

"Do you realize how great a crime you've committed? You're simply courting death!"

He waved his hand and ordered ruthlessly: "Come here, take this thief away!"

Li Xiaoyao's face was filled with astonishment. He looked at the man who had once treated him so gently in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.

"Brother Yi, you... um..."

He tried to ask, but before he could finish his words, a constable covered his mouth and forcibly escorted him out of the private room.
