Tang Hao Goes Completely Mad

Tang Hao Goes Completely Mad

Could it be that I have to take his hand like Tang Xiao did, put on a grief-stricken face, and say: Brother Xiao, love Ah Yin with my share of love as well.

Do I also have to be like him and beg Tang Xiao to be gentler when he does that, not so rough, because it hurts my heart?

No, absolutely not.

Faced with his brother's question, Tang Hao could only shamelessly say in a hoarse voice, "Brother Xiao, what a coincidence. I'm going to Coconut Grove City too. Since we're headed the same way, let's go together."

Hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang Xiao showed displeasure, while Ah Yin looked at Tang Hao with even greater disgust.

But Tang Hao no longer cared. He knew that if he backed down now, he could indeed preserve the friendship between the two brothers, but it would also mean that he had failed. He refused to accept such an ending. No matter what schemes Tang Xiao had used to steal Ah Yin's love, Tang Hao would take Ah Yin back from him.

During the journey that followed, Tang Hao became an eyesore. Whenever Ah Yin and Tang Xiao showed even the slightest intimacy, he would appear at the most inappropriate moment like a third wheel.

Although Tang Hao knew this would only make Ah Yin despise him more, he could not accept his woman being lovey-dovey with another man, even if that man was his own brother.

The result was that Ah Yin grew increasingly disgusted with Tang Hao. She was no longer willing to call him Brother Hao, and her attitude toward him became harsher and harsher.

At dinner, the virtuous Ah Yin prepared a lavish meal for Tang Xiao.

Tang Hao stared eagerly at Tang Xiao's steaming-hot meal and swallowed. This had been treatment reserved solely for him in his previous life.

So he shamelessly asked, "Ah Yin, is there any for me?"

"You?" Ah Yin said with a mean look on her face. "I happened to make two extra dishes."

She brought over a plate of fish and a serving of tofu. The moment Tang Hao saw the two dishes, his face fell.

One dish was called So Many Fish, while the other was called Ai Si Tofu.

Tang Hao picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it into his mouth. Salty—far too salty. Tang Hao nearly spat the fish out.

"Is it good?" Ah Yin asked with a smile.

"It's good." Tang Hao nodded stiffly.

"If it's good, then finish all of it," Ah Yin said.

Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao, who was eating with great relish. Remembering Ah Yin's cooking from his previous life, he immediately understood. Ah Yin had done this on purpose.

But in order not to worsen Ah Yin's impression of him, Tang Hao held his nose and finished Ah Yin's specially made dark cuisine.

In Coconut Grove City, Ah Yin and Tang Xiao wrote their blessings and wishes on lanterns like a couple. Tang Hao stood in the shadows behind them, staring at them with green eyes.

When they arrived at an inn, Ah Yin told the manager, "Two rooms: one single room and one couple's room."

"No. Three single rooms." Tang Hao said with a violent air about him, "One of you is a man and the other is a woman. How can you two stay together?"

"Tang Hao, Brother Xiao and I have already confirmed our relationship. What's wrong with us sleeping together?" Ah Yin said disgustedly.

"Ah Yin, you—you aren't married yet. Anyway, you can't sleep together." Tang Hao stammered for a long time before finding such a reason.

"Tang Hao, what's the point of clinging to me like this? You'll only make me hate you even more."

"Enough, enough." Tang Xiao stepped in to mediate. "Three single rooms it is." He had already noticed that something was wrong with his younger brother and did not want to provoke him further.

Tang Xiao's concession made Tang Hao breathe a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, watching Tang Xiao and Ah Yin grow increasingly intimate had pushed Tang Hao to the brink of collapse. If they slept together too, Tang Hao would go completely mad.

That night, Tang Xiao personally came to see Tang Hao and tried to comfort him. "Brother Hao, feelings can't be forced. If Ah Yin doesn't like you, she doesn't like you. Why put yourself through this? There are plenty of fish in the sea. With your talent, what woman couldn't you have?"

Tang Hao stared at Tang Xiao with dark eyes and said nothing. He simply turned around and entered his room.

If—if he had not been reborn, then after Ah Yin rejected him, Tang Hao might have suffered greatly, but he would still have made the same choice as his brother: to withdraw willingly and fulfill the two of them.

All of that was based on the fact that he had never possessed her before.

But he, Tang Hao, had possessed Ah Yin's love before!

He also knew what that love entailed: the fate of the child chosen by the gods, and the struggle for control over the future Douluo Continent.

In his previous life, he had won. He gained a virtuous wife and a filial son. His son became a god, and he himself became the Lord of the Plane of the Douluo Continent, ruling over everything there.

Love, power, and strength—all of it was his.

And now he was being told that everything he had once possessed would belong to Tang Xiao. Thinking of his virtuous wife nestled in his brother's arms, thinking of his future son calling his brother Dad, thinking of Tang Xiao sitting in the position that had once belonged to her and manipulating the fates of all living beings while he himself grew old alone—how could Tang Hao possibly accept that?

Amid his chaotic thoughts, voices came from the room next door.

"Ah Yin, what are you doing?"

"Brother Xiao, of course I'm coming to be with you."

"Brother Hao is in the room next door."

"Why care about him? We're a couple. Being together is only natural. What right does he have to interfere?"

"But... I feel like Brother Hao's emotions are somewhat off."

"That's his problem. If he can't accept it, let him listen from next door. If that doesn't work, then when you run out of strength, call him over to give you a push. That way, he'll feel involved too, won't he?" Ah Yin said, as if deliberately trying to infuriate Tang Hao.

"Aaaahhhhhhh—" Tang Hao let out a baboon-like roar and went completely mad—

Why is this happening—

Tang Hao's eyes turned red as he panted like a bull!

Tang Xiao must have used some despicable method to make Ah Yin fall in love with him. He must have.

Could it be that he was reborn too, so he came back to steal everything from me?

No, absolutely not. What belonged to him, Tang Hao, was his. He would never allow it to be taken away.

A flash of resentment crossed Tang Hao's eyes.

As if he had made some decision, he murmured in the darkness, "Ah Yin, you belong to me, Tang Hao. You will always be mine, Tang Hao's. Even if—even if I have to use the most despicable means, I will keep you by my side."

He no longer had the heart to listen to what Ah Yin and Tang Xiao were saying next door.

"Ah Yin, stop provoking Brother Hao. There's something wrong with his current state."

"Hmph, I'm doing it on purpose. So what? Who told him to buzz around us like a fly?"
