After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

"Didn't we first meet in Ning'er Palace when I was seven years old? I don't remember calling you this."

Lin Qingyao's big eyes flashed, but she still didn't remember.

"Then do you remember the glutinous rice and osmanthus cake?"

Jamel Xiao seemed unwilling to give up, pointing to the plate of pastries on the table.

Only then did Lin Qingyao notice a plate of her favorite pastries on the table.

"This is my favorite glutinous rice and osmanthus cake. What's wrong?"

Lin Qingyao was even more confused as to why it was related to the osmanthus cake again.

Jamel Xiao sighed helplessly, it seemed that she really had no impression at all.

"The first time we met was in the Imperial Garden. That day I was punished by my tutor for not doing my homework well. When I was feeling sad alone in the Imperial Garden, a pink little girl came over. I heard footsteps and looked up , I saw a little girl with a bright smile. That was the first time I saw a girl with such a beautiful smile."

Recalling his first meeting with Lin Qingyao, Jamel Xiao could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

He was the Queen's legitimate son and had a distinguished status. He had seen too many people smile at him since he was a child. Of course, there were flattering, flattering and gentle people, but he had never seen such a bright smile.

Her smile is so pure and her big bright eyes are so clear.

He had only one thought at that time, which was to protect this smile.

After hearing what he said, Lin Qingyao recalled that it was indeed true.

When she was five years old, Lin Qingyao accompanied her mother to the palace to pay her respects to the queen. The queen liked her very much and asked the maid to take her to the imperial garden.

From a distance, she saw a little boy who looked older than her, sitting there silently with his head down, looking unhappy.

Lin Qingyao said to the palace maid and walked to him.

Lin Qingyao smiled and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there anything unhappy?"

The little boy raised his head, Lin Qingyao was shocked when she saw his face clearly, and thought to herself, this little brother is so handsome.

The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw her, "I didn't do my homework well and I was punished."

Lin Qingyao sat down next to him, "It's okay. If you didn't do it well this time, just try harder next time. Don't be sad."

While talking, he suddenly remembered something, picked up the thing wrapped in paper and handed it to him.

"This is my favorite glutinous rice and osmanthus cake. I only brought one piece today. Give it to you. Eat something sweet and you will feel better."

The little boy took the paper bag and opened it slowly. Inside was a delicate pastry.

"If you like eating so much, why don't you give it to me?"

"It doesn't matter, I still have plenty at home."

"Thank you." The little boy took a bite and his eyebrows finally stretched. "It's delicious. I feel much better."

Seeing the little boy's eyebrows finally stretched, Lin Qingyao smiled happily.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Jamel Xiao, what's yours?"

"Brother Jingxuan, my name is Lin Qingyao, and everyone in my family calls me Yao'er."

He smiled happily when he heard her sweetly calling him "Brother Jingxuan".

"Yao'er, I remember."

Lin Qingyao later heard the palace maid say that he was the fifth prince.

She originally thought of bringing him her favorite glutinous rice and osmanthus cake when she came to the palace next time, but what she didn't expect was that she didn't come back for two whole years.

She fell seriously ill a few days after returning home, and had to rest for several months before she recovered. She had long forgotten the incident.

Although I recovered from my illness, I developed the habit of not going out, and I didn't go out for a whole year.

It was not until the age of seven that he began to attend palace banquets with his family, and then began to accompany his mother to the palace to pay respects.

Later, she met Xiao Qingning and saw Jamel Xiao in her palace. She thought it was the first time she met him and completely forgot about what happened two years ago.

However, Jamel Xiao has always been obsessed with her. He knew from his mother that she was General Lin's daughter, and he always looked forward to seeing her again.

From then on, Jamel Xiao often went to his mother's harem, looking for various excuses to stay a little longer, just thinking about whether he could meet the general's wife and come into the palace to pay her respects, so that he could see her again.

However, he was disappointed every time. A few times he actually met the general's wife, but he did not see the figure that she had longed for.

It wasn't until two years later that I saw her again in Ning'er Palace.

He was overjoyed, but she had forgotten about him.

He was also sad for a while, but he was still very happy when he thought that he would be able to see her through Ning'er more often in the future.

Although he couldn't speak a few words every time they met, he could still see her bright smile, which was enough for him.

Until the palace banquet two years ago, when he passed by the Imperial Garden, he discovered Lin Qingyao who had fallen into the water. He jumped in and rescued her without hesitation.

But she remained unconscious, and he anxiously went to find someone to rescue her.

He never thought that when he was looking for someone to rescue him, Xiao Jingyi would take the credit.

When Lin Qingyao woke up, the person he saw was not him, but Xiao Jingyi.

From then on, the girl's smile stopped blooming for him, and the relationship between them became worse and worse.

He tried to explain to her, but she didn't believe him at all, and she couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about her fourth brother.

He even said that he hated him and never wanted to see him again.

Helpless, he could only choose to guard silently.

Until the last time he saw her in Zhenbao Pavilion, he found that her attitude towards him had changed.

Before he could figure out what was going on, yesterday Ning'er suddenly told him that Lin Qingyao wanted to meet him alone.

Although he was ecstatic, he had more doubts in his heart, and he was also a little uneasy after arriving here.

But what he didn't expect was that she seemed to be closer to him today.

He heard this long-lost name again, which made him unable to help but tell her the words that had been pressing in his heart for so long.

Lin Qingyao slapped her thigh in annoyance. How could she forget all about this matter.

He must be very sad.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I completely forgot about it."

Lin Qingyao held his arm guiltily and said apologetically.

Lin Qingyao was so immersed in her guilt that she didn't notice that she was holding Jamel Xiao's arm.

The moment Lin Qingyao held his arm, Jamel Xiao felt his blood rushing to his head. The arm she held was numb, and a blush instantly appeared on his face.

"No...it's okay."

Jamel Xiao started to stutter when he spoke nervously.

Lin Qingyao looked at Jamel Xiao's reddish cheeks and realized her actions, and quickly retracted her hand.

"I was just a little excited."

After calming down, I felt that his reaction just now was a bit cute, and I couldn't help but want to tease him.

"I suddenly thought of something. In other words, you have fallen in love with me since the first time you met me?"

Lin Qingyao blinked at him, her curled eyelashes fluttering up and down, very lively.

Jamel Xiao blushed again at her amusement, but then he readily admitted: "Yes, I have never seen a girl as lively and smart as you. When I first met you, I secretly made up my mind to protect your smile for the rest of my life. May you always be so happy.”
