The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Ye Xuan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and her stunning face, which had been gloomy, instantly bloomed with a brilliant smile!

That's right!

This was indeed the Butterfly and Double Fish Jade Pendant, of which they each kept half, a promise made when they parted at the gate of the Qinglan Sect!

Fourteen years have passed, and Brother Xiao still carries it with him, so...

He never forgot about me!

In an instant, the Northern Territory Queen, perceived by the world as cold-hearted, aloof, and domineering, strode forward on her long, snow-white legs and once again threw herself into the embrace of the man she yearned for!

"Alright, alright, sweetie. Seeing you again makes Brother Xiao very happy too."

Reuniting with a childhood friend, Lin Xiao was ecstatic, and a rare, genuine smile touched the corners of his mouth.

He gently adjusted the crown on the young girl's head and said with emotion, "Honestly, I never imagined you were the sister of Ye Chen, that silly... good-for-nothing. Ah, fate truly is unpredictable."

"BOO HOO HOO... Brother Xiao, earlier... earlier Xuan'er was so scared... I thought... you didn't remember me... BOO HOO HOO..."

The longing of fourteen years had finally received its echo. At this moment, Ye Xuan'er had completely forgotten her queenly status, sobbing like an ordinary young girl in Lin Xiao's arms.

"How could I? Look, you see? I've always kept this Jade Pendant with me."

Lin Xiao gently stroked the girl's hair, comforting her with a smile.

"Mhm! Xuan'er understands now! I've been so bad! To think I misunderstood Brother Xiao! BOO HOO HOO..."

Ye Xuan'er cried even more intensely, her jade hands, clad in gold-threaded gloves, tightening their grip around Lin Xiao's waist.

At this moment, Lin Xiao felt as if he were in a dream.

Is this young girl, lying in my arms and acting spoiled, really the cold and domineering Northern Territory Queen, Ye Xuan'er, who, in the original novel, was tender only to her brother?

I wonder what Ye Chen would think if he saw this?

Suddenly, a strange excitement surged in Lin Xiao's heart.

"Alright, didn't Brother Xiao come to see you as promised? You should be happy!"

To comfort her, Lin Xiao gently lifted her small face and softly sang,

'Moonlight falling on the ground.'

Ye Xuan'er was first stunned, then she smiled through her tears and sang along,

'Little shrimp, you should be in bed.'

'Tomorrow morning, Mom has to hurry to plant the rice seedlings.'

'Grandpa watches over the cattle on the hill.'...

...

The two clapped in time as they sang together. When they finished, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"It's truly rare; I'm surprised you still remember this song."

Lin Xiao felt a warmth spread through him, deeply moved, as he spoke gently.

The moment they sang together again, it was as if he had traveled back to that summer fourteen years ago. He could finally fully connect the Northern Territory Queen before him with the little girl from his memories!

"Mhm!"

"Brother Xiao said it's a nursery rhyme from your hometown! Xuan'er thinks it's lovely too! Even now, when I'm alone, I often hum it!"

Ye Xuan'er said with a charming smile.

"Mm, fourteen years apart... it must have been hard on you. Brother Xiao has missed you too."

Lin Xiao was inexplicably moved. He took the young girl's hand and said with a smile, "By the way, now that you're the Northern Territory Queen, can I still call you by your name?"

"Of course! Brother Xiao, you must remember, no matter what achievements I, Ye Xuan'er, may attain in the future, I will always be that little girl from our childhood who used to cling to you and act spoiled! Understand?"

Ye Xuan'er said with utmost sincerity, her beautiful eyes twinkling.

"Alright, alright, I get it."

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, then his expression suddenly turned serious. "By the way, Xuan'er, although Brother Xiao is very happy to see you again... we still need to discuss important matters."

"Important matters?"

Ye Xuan'er paused, then pursed her lips, a queenly determination appearing in her eyes. "Brother Xiao, just say whatever you need to! When Xuan'er was young, I could only hide behind you for protection. But now! Now it's my turn to shield you from the storms and shoulder any burden for you!"

With that, she gave her cloak a proud flick, her aura as the Northern Territory Queen flaring once more.

"HAHAHA, no need to be so serious. Are you trying to be a Feng Aotian? Don't learn that from your brother."

Seeing her earnest stance, Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

"TEE HEE, Brother Xiao hasn't seen me for fourteen years, so naturally, you don't know what trials Xuan'er has experienced or what methods I've mastered~"

The young queen winked playfully, a hint of mystery in her eyes.

"It's alright. Now that Brother Xiao is back by my side, Xuan'er will slowly tell you everything in the future!"

After saying this, seeing Lin Xiao's still solemn expression, she changed the subject. "By the way, Brother Xiao, Hongling... is she... doing well?"

"Mm, she's doing very well. I'll take you to see her when there's a chance."

Lin Xiao smiled, but an image of the kiss they shared that night in the secret garden involuntarily surfaced in his mind...

Just as the two were gazing deeply into each other's eyes...

A voice came from outside the window:

"Little sister Xuan'er! Your Brother Chen is home!"

Lin Xiao's heart jolted. Ye Chen?!

Isn't that dog of a male lead locked up in the Ice Jail?

He glanced at Ye Xuan'er, awkwardly trying to ease out of her embrace—

But unexpectedly, Ye Xuan'er clung to him even tighter, utterly unwilling to let go!

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded once more.

What the—?!

What the hell is going on?!

Even if I did save her life during her childhood, her feelings for her brother, Ye Chen, shouldn't have wavered, right?!
