50 ◇Crying Baby=Angry Xiaolang◇ (1/2)
A few days later, Xiong was finally allowed into Lu Xing's room by Jian.
Lu Xing sat in the same position he had maintained throughout the three days of cultivation. He had become completely unresponsive to Jian's words...unless Jian himself was bringing over Lu Xing's meals. But Lu Xing only became active enough to scarf down his meal then promptly returned to his cultivation.
'He hasn't even needed to use the restroom...' Jian thought to himself warily as he allowed Xiong to enter the room with his help.
Xiong was barely getting a handle on maneuvering blindly.
Finally sensing Xiong's presence,Lu Xing opened his eyes and waved Jian away.
Jian hesitated but finally reluctantly left.
”So then...how does it feel to be alive but blind?” Lu Xing asked, his eyes on the now awkward looking man, Xiong, who stood before him, attempting to face in Lu Xing's way...
His eyes were as glass that held nothing but endless fog.
He seemed to open his mouth, then closed it unable to say how foolhardy he'd been before when he had lied to Lu Xing.
”You're right liars have no right to say anything.” Lu Xing said, ”You should feel ashamed. If you had but told me back then...then you'd most certainly have your eyesight.”
Xiong's ears turned red as he heard Lu Xing's harsh words. He hadn't been able to leave his own room due to the shame he felt at feeling so helplessly dependent upon Yiran's help everytimehe did so. Even in three days, the only person he had felt any need to actually speak to..was none other than Lu Xing.
Now he was left without words before this young man.
Lu Xing sighed and closed his eyes, then crossed his arms as though to ponder something.
After a full minute of uncomfortable silence, Lu Xing cracked an eye open.
”If I told you that's there's a chance to return your eyesight...what would you do for me in return?” Lu Xing asked.
Xiong was instantly thrown off by the question,quickly snapped out of his self pity, ”Anything!”
Lu Xing opened his other eye and smiled, ”Good, you'll owe me one day. Your word on this?”
”My word. I promise.” Xiong said as he neared the bedside, he felt impatient to hear Lu Xing's plan.
Lu Xing simply got up off the bed and walked toward Xiong, his right hand falling upon the man's eyes.
