contents In this manuscript, an oversimplified model is proposed for the first time to explain the different variability trends in the observed broad H$α$ emission line luminosity $L_{Hα}(t)$ and in the TDE model determined bolometric luminosity $L_{bol}(t)$ in the known TDE ASASSN-14li. Considering broad emission line regions (BLRs) lying into central accretion disk related to accreted materials onto central black hole in TDEs, mass evolution $M_{BLRs}(t)$ of central BLRs can be determined by the maximum mass $M_{BLRs,0}$ of central BLRs minus the corresponding accreted mass in a TDE. Meanwhile, through the simple linear dependence of Broad Balmer emission line luminosity on mass of BLRs, the mass evolution $M_{BLRs}(t)$ of central BLRs can be applied to describe the observed $L_{Hα}(t)$. Although the proposed model is oversimplified with only one free model parameter $M_{BLRs,0}$, the model with $M_{BLRs,0}\sim0.02{\rm M_\odot}$ can be applied to well describe the observed $L_{Hα}(t)$ in the TDE ASASSN-14li. Meanwhile, the oversimplified model can also be applied to roughly describe the observed $L_{Hα}(t)$ in the TDE ASASSN-14ae. The reasonable descriptions to the observed $L_{Hα}(t)$ in ASASSN-14li and ASASSN-14ae indicate the oversimplified model with only one free model parameter is probably efficient enough to describe mass evolutions of $M_{BLRs}$ related to central accreted debris in TDEs.
