[Douluo Dalu] Hu Liena

As he ran, his pace gradually slowed down, and he looked sad again.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Ning Rongrong saw that she was so happy when she heard that Tang San was back, but now she looked sad again.

Xiao Wu asked with a hint of hesitation: "Brother...did he come back alone?"

Ning Rongrong raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.

"I just passed by the master's office and I only saw the third brother inside. He should be alone."

After saying that, he added: "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? What are you worried about?"

Brother came back alone, did he not find her? Still... Xiao Wu couldn't help but slow down when he thought of these things.

When she heard that Tang San was back alone, she was indeed happy. But thinking that Hu Liena's whereabouts were unknown because of saving her, she felt guilty for her selfish thoughts. She hoped that Hu Liena could come back, but she also hoped that she would not come back. To be precise, she would not come back with Tang San.

With an uneasy heart, Xiao Wu walked to Yu Xiaogang's residence without knowing it.

Inside, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were discussing important matters in the study. Xiao Wu and Rongrong were only waiting in the hall without going in to disturb them.

After a long time, Tang San's figure finally came out of the study.

"elder brother!"

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu and Rongrong, who were waiting in the hall, shouted one after the other.

Tang San said hello to them lightly and walked towards the gate again.

Xiao Wu watched Tang San quietly, and she could see that there was indescribable loneliness and sadness beneath his smile. I couldn't help but chase him and asked, "Brother! Where are you going?"

Tang San looked at the sky outside the academy and said, "I want to go for a walk in the city."

"Brother... let me go with you!"

Xiao Wu had been with him for so many years, how could she not see that he was in a bad mood? She wanted to be with Tang San, she hoped to relieve his worries.

"You have a special status and should stay in the academy. Don't go out!"

Tang San said this out of concern, but Xiao Wu's heart was filled with disappointment. For some reason, she felt that Tang San was a little alien to her now. He was no longer like the Tang San who could sleep with her when she was a child, nor was he the Tang San who took her with him everywhere.

She plucked up the courage to ask the question that had been stuck in her chest the entire time.

"Has she... found it?"

Tang San paused, silent for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Found it."

Xiao Wu didn't notice his look, but when she heard "I found it," she felt inexplicably disappointed, and she felt guilty for this loss.

Then he asked: "Then where is she?"

This question touched on Tang San's pain point. He also wanted to know where Hu Liena was now, but it was a pity that he didn't know. But he didn't show the sadness in his heart, he just said lightly: "I don't know where she is, maybe in a far away place, maybe right next to us!"

Xiao Wu didn't know what Tang San meant. She only heard Tang San say that he didn't know where Hu Liena was. At this moment, she felt mixed emotions in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

She was stunned there, not knowing what to say, just looking at Tang San's retreating back, secretly feeling sad.

As the sky grew dark, Tang San walked alone on the street, looking at the brightly lit merchants on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Hu Liena walked to the south of the city that day.

It’s still this city, it’s still this bustling street, but the people around me are no longer here, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to see them again in this life. As he walked, he came to the Li Clan in Nancheng. Now the plaque on the lintel only read Tang Clan.

Tai Long was overjoyed to see him, "Third Young Master, you are back! Where have you been during this time?"

Tang San responded lightly and entered the front yard.

Tai Long looked around outside the door and then asked: "Third Young Master, are you the only one who came back?"

Tang San said softly "Yeah!" and walked towards the backyard.

Tai Lung caught up and asked, "Where's Nana? Why didn't you come together?"

Although Tai Lung is dull and doesn't know much about talking, he still has a very thorough understanding of the word beauty. He asked this because he thought Hu Liena was very beautiful. Living in his house, he felt happy to be able to appreciate her appearance every day. Second, he thought that Tang San would bring her here in the first place, so the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.

Tang San didn't answer, but asked: "Which room did she live in before?"

Tai Long scratched his head, wondering what Tang San wanted to do, but he would never refuse Tang San's request.

Said: "It's in the backyard, I'll take you there!"

Pushing the door open, the house is spotless. At a glance, Tang San saw a mask placed in front of the dressing cabinet. He slowly walked over and picked up the mask, as if he was lost in some memories.

Tyrone seemed to see some sadness in his eyes, the kind of eyes he had seen in his father's. So he said: "I thought Nana would come back and have this house cleaned every day."

"She also left this mask behind. She left in a hurry last time and didn't take anything with her."

Tang San looked at the Shura mask in his hand and sighed!

"You can always help others in time, but you never know who can help you!"

Tai Long looked at Tang San in confusion, not understanding what this meant.

Tang San said to him: "Tailong, you go back first! I want to stay here alone for a while."

Tai Lung left the house and thought to himself, could it be that Nana abandoned the Third Young Master and was unwilling to come back? I didn't expect that the third young master would be abandoned by the girl with his handsome appearance and talent, but think about how Nana's beauty and strength would be lacking in suitors. If I had known that this would be the outcome for them, I would have...

Thinking of this, he sighed lightly, not knowing whether he felt sorry for Tang San or for himself.

After Tailong left, Tang San was alone in the house. He saw several jars of wine placed on the cabinet and remembered the scene when Hu Liena asked him to drink in Yuexuan.

Soon after, the wine jars were empty one by one, and the pieces fell to the ground. Tang San let out bursts of sarcastic laughter with a hint of drunkenness. He didn't know whether he was laughing at himself then or at himself now.

"Tyron, Tyrone..."

Tai Long had already undressed and fell asleep. Hearing Tang San's constant calls to him, he quickly got up from the bed and ran towards Tang San's room.

As soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw Tang San holding a wine flask, unable to pour out a drop of wine. He immediately understood what Tang San meant.

"Third Young Master, wait a minute, I'll get some wine right now!"

Having said that, Tai Lung was still a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he thought it was normal. Who has never been frustrated! His father once drank secretly all night over a girl and cried bitterly. It was only because of his help that his mother didn't find out.

I was about to go to the wine cellar when I suddenly heard a few knocks on the door. I couldn't help but curse: Who comes here so late at night and prevents people from sleeping? Do you think our Tangmen is an inn?

Not happy but happy, he still opened the door honestly.

The door opened, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of his eyes. When he saw that it was a girl, Tailong's anger immediately disappeared a lot.

Taking a closer look, the girl had a pretty face and was wearing a lotus pink cloak. She was even pretty.

Wei Wei said excitedly: "Xiao Wu, why are you here!"

Xiao Wu was a little anxious, "Tailong, is my brother here?"

Hearing this, Tai Long's face turned cold. He thought: Not only is the Third Young Master highly talented and handsome, but he is also so popular with girls. I thought he was a bit pitiful just now, but now...

Tai Lung smiled flatteringly: "Look for Third Young Master! He is drinking in the house!"

"Drinking?" Xiao Wu was shocked. She knew that Tang San never drank alcohol, and she had never seen him drink.

Xiao Wu hurried into the backyard and saw Tang San sitting alone at the table, looking at the mask in his hand with a hint of drunkenness, his eyes full of sadness.

Seeing his expression like this, Xiao Wu couldn't bear it, and it was even more painful than her own pain. He turned to look at Tai Lung and asked with a cry: "Brother, what's wrong with him?"

"Based on my guess, it's probably..." Tai Long muttered in Xiao Wu's ear for a long time.

"What?" After hearing Tai Long's words, Xiao Wu's eyes showed surprise.

Hu Liena, is she really...really not going to come back to her brother again? Although Tai Long said this, Xiao Wu still had some disbelief in her heart, but seeing Tang San's painful expression, she became more convinced.

This news made her heart feel like a pool of stagnant water, and ripples appeared again.

She moved into the house and said, "Brother, why do you drink so much!"

Tang San raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to stay in the academy?"

"It's so late and you haven't gone back yet, I'm worried about you!"

Tang San looked at the mask in his hand and said lightly, "I'm fine!"

Xiao Wu held Tang San's hand and looked at him tenderly, "Brother, if you feel uncomfortable, I will be here to accompany you!"

"When you were little, you would tell me whatever was on your mind. If you say it, you won't feel uncomfortable!"

Tang San pushed Xiao Wu's hand away and said: "No, I just want to be alone for a while."

"We are not six or seven-year-old children now. Some things will feel better if we don't say them out loud."

He glanced at Tai Long and said, "Send Xiao Wu back!"

Tai Long had just heard Xiao Wu say that if he wanted to stay, it wouldn't be surprising considering that they had slept on the same bed since childhood. He had quietly retreated outside the door and was about to go back to sleep. Unexpectedly, Tang San asked him to send Xiao Wu back again, and he looked like Xiao Wu didn't want to leave, which made him a little embarrassed. After a slight hesitation, he said to Xiao Wu, "How about I take you to rest next door?"

Xiao Wu just wanted to be with Tang San. She had been with Tang San since she was a child. She used to be by his side when Tang San was in a bad mood, but now Tang San wanted her to leave, which made her very frustrated.

Then he thought again, maybe he was so sad because Hu Liena had just left. He would definitely get better after a while, and then he would still be the Tang San he was before, the Tang San who was inseparable from her.
