Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 31 A Touched Heart

"Well……"

Tang Wulin's consciousness was groggy, as if he was floating in a golden ocean.

The water he was soaking in was warm and made him feel very comfortable.

If possible, he really wanted to sleep here forever.

But he couldn't do that, he had things to do.

He wanted to protect his companions, Wang Dong, He Da Ge, and...

"Yutong..."

Tang Wulin tried his best to open his eyes, and unexpectedly met a pair of lively eyes with a gentle look.

For some reason, Huo Yutong was leaning over to look at him, their faces less than a fist apart, so close that he could even count each other's eyelashes.

It happened so suddenly that their bodies froze for a moment, remaining in that position unable to move.

Huo Yutong’s eyes were very beautiful. Looking at his reflection in her eyes, Tang Wulin couldn’t help but have the illusion that they were the only two people in the world.

Time passed slowly, and warm breath continued to be exhaled from between Huo Yutong's delicate lips and blew onto Tang Wulin's mouth, making his heartbeat inexplicably faster. The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous and charming, and Huo Yutong's eyes became a little blurred.

Tang Wulin spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Yutong, you..."

"!"

Hearing his voice, Huo Yutong finally reacted. She quickly stood up and sat down, looking away, and explained in a somewhat panicked voice:
"I just thought I heard you calling my name, so I came closer to you. I didn't mean anything else, don't get me wrong."

Something else? What something else? Don't misunderstand anything?
She now looks like she is trying to hide something.

"……Um."

However, under pressure from her momentum, Tang Wulin could only nod his head. Otherwise, looking at her blushing face, steam would probably come out of her head.

And he also needs to calm down a bit.

Because of what happened just now, he felt that Huo Yutong's lips had an amazing charm that made it difficult for him to look away.

What would happen if the situation just now continued to develop?
Just a little imagination made his mouth dry and his body temperature gradually rose.

He quickly forced himself to look away from Huo Yutong's pink lips and looked around.

He was very familiar with this place, as he had just sent Huo Yutong here two days ago.

This is the infirmary of Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were saved.

He was lying on a clean white hospital bed. Huo Yutong was wearing the same hospital gown as him and was sitting obediently on a stool beside his bed.

He adjusted his breathing and said to Huo Yutong:

"Yutong, what happened after I fainted?"

"Well?"

Huo Yutong responded subconsciously. She was touching her lips, not knowing what she was thinking about. Looking at her dazed expression, it was obvious that she did not hear Tang Wulin's question clearly.

Tang Wulin had no choice but to repeat it again.

"I want to know what happened after I fainted."

“Oh.” This time Huo Yutong heard clearly. She took her hand away from her lips and said, “Not long after you fainted, the academy’s support arrived. None of us were hurt. We were all successfully rescued. It is said that the person who attacked us was also taken away. The interrogation result should be available soon.”

"That's good."

After getting the answer, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope everyone is okay.

anyway……

"Yutong, how long do you plan to hold my hand?"

When he woke up, he could feel a cold little hand holding his hand tightly.

Although her hands were soft and small and very comfortable to hold, making him reluctant to let go, it would not be good to hold them all the time.

Hearing what he said, Huo Yutong showed a look of annoyance, pouted her lips and asked:

"Don't you like being held by me?"

"Nothing."

I would rather say I like it.

“That’s all.” Huo Yutong snorted, “Just let me hold you obediently.” “…”

Tang Wulin didn't know how to react, and the air fell silent for a moment.

He always felt that Huo Yutong's attitude towards him had changed a little after waking up this time.

To be specific, it is more delicate and soft.

In the past, Huo Yutong still treated him with a bit of an elder sister’s airs, and he always felt like an elder sister taking care of his younger brother.

But now this feeling has completely disappeared. Not only is she no longer arrogant towards him, she even always has a feeling of wanting to act coquettishly, which makes him see the shadow of Na'er in her.

This made him a little concerned. What happened while he was in a coma?

After a long silence, Huo Yutong suddenly spoke.

"Wulin, you know what? I'm really scared this time."

"Ah."

Come to think of it.

Huo Yutong was, after all, just an eleven-year-old girl. It was impossible for her not to feel scared when facing a powerful enemy who came to assassinate her.

However, Huo Yutong said as if he had guessed what he was thinking:

"Do you think I was frightened by the assassins and afraid of being killed? No, I wasn't."

The strength with which she held Tang Wulin's hand suddenly increased, and Tang Wulin could feel her trembling through the palm of her hand.

"I was afraid that you would die in front of me. When I thought that you were going to leave me, I couldn't think of anything else."

After Huo Yun'er passed away, she became all alone in this world.

Now, finally there is someone who knows her past, is willing to be angry for her and help her get revenge. If even he leaves her, she will collapse.

She could have endured the darkness and cold, but after encountering the fire that brought warmth and light, she could no longer imagine life without it.

"Yutong..."

Feeling the trembling of Huo Yutong's little hand and looking at her eyes shaken by fear, Tang Wulin instantly understood why she held on to his hand.

Because this would make her feel more at ease, and through skin contact she could more clearly feel the fact that he was still alive.

Tang Wulin just felt warm inside. He stretched out his free hand, placed it on Huo Yutong's head, and slowly stroked it.

This is how he comforted Naer when she was scared in the past.

Huo Yutong's eyes widened for a moment, then she pursed her lips and let Tang Wulin slowly stroke her hair with his hand.

This is how Huo Yun'er comforted her when she was still alive.

For a moment, the room became quiet, with only the chirping of birds outside the window coming into the house from time to time, bringing a little vitality.

Huo Yutong clenched her hands and bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, as if she was enduring something.

However, under Tang Wulin's gentle touch, she finally couldn't help it, and tears as big as beans began to flow from her eyes.

She loosened her clenched hands, threw herself on Tang Wulin, and sobbed.

"Wu... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too weak. If I were stronger, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. I'm sorry..."

She kept apologizing and lamenting her own weakness.

These words were actually what she wanted to tell Tang Wulin the most. When he was unconscious, her worry about him burned her heart all the time.

Tang Wulin said nothing, but continued to comfort her gently with a warm look in his eyes.

In fact, it was not only Huo Yutong who felt safe from him, he felt the same way.

A man traveled back to ten thousand years ago, penniless and without any relatives. When he was helpless, she took the initiative to lend him a helping hand, which saved him from death in the dangerous Star Forest.

Without her, he would never have known Bei Bei and Tang Ya, nor would he have joined the Tang Sect, let alone entered Shrek.

It was the same this time. Without her assistance, he would have died at the hands of that Soul Emperor long ago.

She relied on him immensely, and he, in turn, relied on her tenderness.

They are both the same, they just depend on each other.

Digression
Strategy completed～

In fact, it is really easy to conquer little Huo Niang. After all, no one is nice to her at the beginning. At this time, as long as you show her a little kindness, she, who lacks love, will rush towards you like a moth to a flame.

The key is that she is very loyal. Once she sets her mind on someone, she will never change, just like her mother.

She is simply the easiest woman to deal with in Douluo Continent (laughs)
