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.
"Here, here… the wine you want… Drink it."
Lu Tong took over the water and prepared to drink it, but suddenly stared at Yuan Tianxing for a short while and said, "I drink, you drink… Cheers! Cheers… cheers…"
Clearly, he wouldn't drink the water until Yuan Tianxing toasted with him.
Talking reasonably with a drunk person would be a waste of time. So, Yuan Tianxing sighed and picked up his glass wine. However, before the two glasses clang, Lu Tong pulled back his glass.
"That is… not right. Why is mine white and your red?" Lu Tong stared at Yuan Tianxing's glass, looking very confused.
Yuan Tianxing had no other choices but to drop the wine glass and pick up the other glass of water to toast with him.
"Here, we're having the same thing now," he said, then poured the water into his mouth. All he wanted was for Lu Tong to drink the water quickly, so he could drag him to bed and then leave.
Watching Yuan Tianxing drink the glass of water up, Lu Tong had a bright glow escape his misty eyes, but it soon faded. He then raised his head to drink the water while hiding the excitement in his eyes.
On the other side, Lin Wenwen quietly watched Lu Tong's move through the telescope. After they both drank the water, Lu Tong lay his arms and head on the table and stopped moving. Yuan Tianxing stood up and walked to his side, then helped him up and moved toward the bedroom.
"Here it goes," said Lin Wenwen with a cold look as the two went into the bedroom. Long Qingying had been watching too. She understood what Lin Wenwen was talking about. Yuan Tianxing was supposed to come out of the bedroom soon, but he didn't.
In the bedroom, Yuan Tianxing was dragged down to the bed by Lu Tong while he was putting the latter to the bed. They both fell into the bed. Then, he started feeling dizzy. He sat on the bed and supported his body with his arms as he shook his head. But, the harder he shook his head, the heavier his head became. Before he figured out what was going on, he lost his consciousness.
Lu Tong lied on the bed at first. But, a couple of minutes later, he got up; he no longer shambled, and his face was wearing a calm look.
He spent a few seconds looking at Yuan Tianxing, then bent over and pushed the latter's shoulders as he called him, "Deputy Chief, Deputy Chief?"
As Yuan Tianxing made no response at all, he sighed with relief. His plan was working well. Tomorrow, Yuan Tianxing would wake up to find himself lying upon Lu Tong nakedly. He would think of many ways to make it up for the latter.
While thinking about that, he started taking off Yuan Tianxing's clothes. After stripping Yuan Tianxing, he threw him to the middle of the bed and then took off his own clothes.
He glanced at Yuan Tianxing's slim and muscular nude, his eyes showing a faint dislike. But, he soon got rid of the repulsion. He stripped himself, then got onto the bed, preparing to drag Yuan Tianxing onto himself.
Bang! The door was suddenly opened.
Lu Tong gave a start, then immediately turned to the door.
