The male protagonist falls in love with me again

A few days later, it was a sunny day.

Li Xiaoyao lay leisurely in his yard, basking in the sun and enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

Just then, a servant came running in and told him that his father was calling him in the front hall.

Li Xiaoyao stood up and stretched his muscles while asking the servants around him: "Did Dad tell me why they asked me to come over?"

The servant replied respectfully, "The master simply said that an honored guest had arrived and asked you to go out and greet him."

Li Xiaoyao nodded to show that he understood, then waved his hand and said to the servant: "Okay, I understand. You can go and do your work. You don't have to follow me."

The servant responded, "Okay, young master," and then left.

Li Xiaoyao walked slowly towards the lobby, curious about what kind of distinguished guest was worthy of his father's attention.

When he finally arrived at the lobby, he saw his father sitting in the high seat talking to a strange man.

Li Xiaoyao raised his head and glanced casually at the man.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary temperament, obviously of a noble status.

However, when Li Xiaoyao saw the man's face clearly, he was suddenly stunned, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Father Li noticed his son standing there, staring intently at the distinguished guest. He couldn't help but frown and scolded him, "Little boy, what are you standing there for? Come and pay your respects to His Highness!"

This brat is really something. Even if we know each other, we still have to be polite. What if the prince punishes him for disrespect?

Li Xiaoyao came back to his senses and curled his lips, but still followed his father's request and bowed very perfunctorily, saying, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Chen..."

Shen Yilin looked at the young man in front of him with a fake smile, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He chuckled and said, "Yaoyao, why do you and I have to be so polite?"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, reached out and gently held the young man's hand.

Li Xiaoyao looked down at his held hand, frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "I dare not. I don't want to go to jail again."

Listening to his resentful words, Shen Yilin couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He said helplessly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Uncle Li who was sitting beside him, his eyes revealing sincerity and determination: "Uncle Li, may I ask if you would allow me and Yaoyao to talk alone?"

Father Li frowned, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation and struggle, but he finally replied respectfully: "Of course."

After saying that, he stood up, slowly left the room, gently closed the door, and left this quiet space to the two young people.

……

When his father left, Li Xiaoyao immediately relaxed and stopped pretending his attitude.

"I'm very busy. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." Li Xiaoyao said in a cold tone.

Shen Yilin's face was serious and sincere, and his eyes revealed deep apology: "Yaoyao, it was my mistake to send you to jail. I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry."

He then continued, "It was my fault that you were later exposed to assassination. I apologize to you again. I'm sorry."

Finally, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Now that the culprit who sent someone to assassinate you is dead, Yaoyao, can you forgive me?"

When Li Xiaoyao heard these words, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Tongzi, the heroine is dead?" Li Xiaoyao asked in confusion.

[Yes, he was killed by the male protagonist’s men.]

Li Xiaoyao: ...Is it this world that is crazy, or is he crazy?

The hero actually killed the heroine? Just to avenge him?

But he killed Li Jingshu, and this person was against his own mother. Why was he still so calm?

Li Xiaoyao curled her lips into a smile, and suddenly moved closer to the man, blinking her eyes and asking, "Your Highness Prince Chen, you don't like me, do you?"

Li Xiaoyao thought he would get a negative answer.

However, to her surprise, the man looked her straight in the eyes, nodded without hesitation, and replied in a firm tone, "Yes."

Li Xiaoyao was stunned and couldn't believe what he heard.

His eyes widened, a look of astonishment on his face. Originally, he just wanted to play a joke on the man to test his reaction, but he didn't expect to get such an unexpected answer.

He blinked, wondering if he had heard it wrong, but the man's firm and serious eyes told him that all this was true.

Li Xiaoyao's heart began to beat rapidly, and he felt a little flustered and at a loss.

Shen Yilin noticed Li Xiaoyao's reaction, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

His gaze always stayed on Li Xiaoyao, with a hint of tenderness and doting in his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, then turned and ran away under the man's astonished gaze.

Shen Yilin: “?!”
