AND SO XIE LIAN bent at the waist and greeted it. “Hello there.” Hearing the greeting, that eye squinted harder, turning itself into a full crescent, like it was smiling. The large eye spun left and right, extremely lively, as if it wasn’t just a pattern carved onto a scimitar hilt but the real, living eye of a human. Hua Cheng’s lips curled upwards. “Gege, it likes you.” Xie Lian raised his head. “Really?” Hua Cheng raised his brow. “Really. It’s too lazy to spare a single glance at those it doesn’t like. In fact, there are very few that Eming actually likes.” Hearing this, Xie Lian smiled at Eming. “Thank you, then.” He turned to Hua Cheng. “I rather like it too.” At his words, the eye blinked madly, and the scimitar started shaking all of a sudden from where it hung at Hua Cheng’s waist. He reprimanded it, “No.” “‘No,’ what?” Xie Lian asked. “No,” Hua Cheng reiterated. Eming shook again, looking desperate to jump out of its scabbard. Xie Lian asked curiously, “Are you telling it ‘no’?” “Yes,” Hua Cheng deadpanned. “It wants you to pet it, but I’m telling it no.” Xie Lian grinned. “Well, why not?” He reached out. Eming’s eye instantly widened, like it was looking at him with great anticipation. I can’t pet here, poking the eye will hurt, Xie Lian thought, then lowered his hand and stroked lightly along the curve of the hilt. The eye squinted into a full crescent line and quivered even harder, as if it was extremely pleased and enjoying the touch very much.
