835 The Second Superpower (1/2)
Lu Tong smiled like a little animal. Yuan Tianxing didn't like weak and timid people like that, but he did spot a trace of strength from the former's eyes. That was why he didn't feel repulsion toward the latter.
Besides, he bumped into Lu Tong while he was already injured. For that, Yuan Tianxing did feel sorry. After knowing that he was a space possessor, Yuan Tianxing believed that he would grow into a mobile storage room if he was cultivated well. In that way, he would become a helpful member of the base. Therefore, he asked Du Yuanxing to find Lu Tong a new flat.
He was planning on inviting Lu Tong to a relatively rich dinner at the canteen to apologize to him. However, Lu Tong said that he wanted to have a housewarming dinner to celebrate. So, he invited Yuan Tianxing to have dinner at his place.
At first, Yuan Tianxing didn't want to go. However, he got soft-hearted somehow when he saw the eager, careful, and nervous look in Lu Tong's eyes. At last, he accepted the offer, and promised to bring a bottle of wine.
So, he went to Lu Tong's flat, a little reluctantly though.
”Alright, the food is still warm, so let's start eating. Congratulations for having your new flat,” Yuan Tianxing forgot about the slight unhappiness in his heart, then smilingly opened the bottle of wine and poured some in a glass. After that, he handed the glass to Lu Tong.
”Thank you!” Lu Tong nodded smilingly, then took over the glass and toasted with Yuan Tianxing. While putting the glass near his lips, he dropped his eyes to conceal the delighted look in his eyes.
He had been hiding his other superpower. That power he had was at merely level-three as well. It wasn't supposed to affect Yuan Tianxing, who was at level-seven already. However, if he put up some acts and played some tricks to help, things might be different.
Lu Tong made Yuan Tianxing think that he was a weak and vulnerable person, and also made him feel slightly sorry and guilty for him. So, Yuan Tianxing relaxed his vigilance against him and gave the other a chance to release his other superpower bit by bit to make him accept the invitation.
None of the careless Yuan Tianxing, or Lin Qiao, and Lin Wenwen, who had been keeping an eye on Lu Tong, had guessed that he possessed another superpower.
It was the spirit power.
After drinking the first two glasses of wine silently, Yuan Tianxing and Lu Tong slowly started a conversation.
”I think you're drunk. Stop drinking,” Yuan Tianxing looked at Lu Tong, who had red cheeks and misty eyes, as he said with laughter.
”How can that be… possible? I only had two glasses… Let me tell you something… On my way here… Those people tried to ditch me on the road a few times, because I'm weak… I would not have survived if I didn't have their things stored in my space…” Lu Tong murmured. He sat tightly on his chair, but kept talking.
He told Yuan Tianxing about his own stories, half real and half fake. He did seem drunk.
Yuan Tianxing was a patient person. He looked at Lu Tong smilingly, listening to him while eating. He believed that after that dinner, no one would ever dare to bring Lu Tong trouble again. He had had dinner with Deputy Chief after all. Anyone who dared to hurt Lu Tong would be considered disrespectful to Yuan Tianxing.
One hour later, the food was gone, yet Lu Tong still hadn't stopped talking. He was constantly asking for more wine.
Yuan Tianxing prepared to give him some water. He looked around and saw the two glasses of water that Lu Tong had prepared earlier. So, he picked up one glass and handed it to Lu Tong.
