Resolved Hello! I need a bit of help

What does 小陆同学眼神发虚 in 小陆同学眼神发虚，他瞥了眼树下正在叫卖的青年人，说：“不管你事，快走快走。” mean? Thank you!

 

I think the "虚" here is the same "虚" as "心虚“. As in having a guilty conscience. So "Xiaolu looked guilty"? But it all depends on context. Has he done anything to make himself feel guilty?

 

Eishun is almost certainly correct in his interpretation.

 

发虚 means to feel timid or apprehensive, to lose confidence. So agreed about 心虚, but it might not be the guitly conscience meaning, it might be the timid meaning, as in 心虚胆怯. But yeah, depends on context.

 

Thank you! I understand now.
