[ wow it's lu bixing's turn to be beat up this time, huh.
the pain feels sort of dim, now. he only registers it dimly that he's being treated and hustled off the island, onto the ferry, and he doesn't bother trying to look strong or tough when lin jingheng pulls him close on it. he doesn't cry, but his hands tremble, and he holds very, very still, almost numb as they go through the motions.
and when they're back and alone in lin jingheng's room, lu bixing tiredly starts to unbutton the buttons on his shirt, and says in a rough, tired voice: ]
...I'm sorry, for worrying you.
[ he knows that must have been terrifying. knows it intimately, from having to see lin die just a few days ago.
joking, very lightly, in a sort of attempt at stepping away from the absolute immensity of everything that just happens, as he fumbles with his buttons with shaking hands, he says; ] What do you think. Monoeye Bixing? Monoeye Dog?
