Chapter 71
On the day Xiao Luochen was released from the Sikou Mansion prison, Su Musong was waiting at the prison gate early in the morning.
After staying in the cage prison for over a month, in such a cold weather where water would freeze into ice, if it were Xiao Luochen back then, he would have probably caught a cold and died long ago.
Fortunately, Changsun Chenqian not only gave him a prescription, but also gave him martial arts skills. This not only allowed him to cure his cold, but also enabled him to develop excellent internal skills and survive this imprisonment.
But Xizhou is a thousand miles away from Yongjing, and even the strongest body cannot withstand such hardship.
Xiao Luochen saw Su Musong from a distance and wanted to walk quickly to his side, but his feet felt weak and he couldn't take a step.
Seeing this, Su Musong hurried forward and without saying a word, carried Xiao Luochen directly to the carriage.
"Just give me a hand. I'm dirty and I've soiled your clothes."
"No problem."
Su Musong specially chose the two-horse carriage that he usually took when traveling long distances. The carriage was spacious and equipped with a heater, tea sets, and toiletries.
Su Musong tied up Xiao Luochen's hair, wet a handkerchief and wiped his face carefully, and then washed his hands.
"I've already taken Bu Yi home. Originally, he, Mu Bo, and Mu Feng all wanted to come pick you up, but I guess you didn't want them to see you like this, so they didn't agree."
Then he took out a satin bundle and opened it to reveal a set of winter clothes.
"I asked Jinxiu Pavilion to make this according to your measurements. Try it on first and see if it fits you."
Xiao Luochen took off his prison uniform as he was told and turned to get new clothes. However, he happened to meet Su Musong's wide, fixed eyes. He felt a little embarrassed. He quickly took the clothes, turned his back, and put them on.
"Luo Chen, are you shy?"
Su Musong looked at the somewhat flustered Xiao Luochen, with a hint of teasing in his words.
"No... no, it's just cold and I was in a hurry to get dressed."
Xiao Luochen fastened his belt, straightened his sleeves, and looked at himself. The length was just right, but he had lost a lot of weight during the journey, so the clothes seemed a little loose.
"Musong, I didn't expect you to have a talent for tailoring. You can measure the size just by using your eyes."
Su Musong was naughty. He stretched out his index finger to hook Xiao Luochen's belt, and pulled it hard. Xiao Luochen fell into Su Musong's arms.
"Who said I only use my eyes?"
Su Musong put his hands under Xiao Luochen's armpits, put his chest against Xiao Luochen's back, and began to use his hands as a ruler to measure Xiao Luochen's body.
"Look, the shoulders are three palms wide, the chest is two and a half palms wide, the waist is one palm and two inches wide, and the arm length is three inches shorter than mine. You know, I have measured these many times with my hands, so the clothes I make will naturally fit the size."
Xiao Luochen heard the hidden meaning in Su Musong's words and felt a little amused.
In these ten years, the young man who used to hide his hand under his sleeves and run away in shame after kissing someone has grown into this dissolute man.
Xiao Luochen was not in good spirits because he had just been released from prison, so he let Su Musong go. However, apart from holding him in his arms and being a little rude with his hands, Su Musong did not do anything else absurd.
Xiao Luochen had not had a good sleep for over a month since Xizhou was arrested. Now leaning in Su Musong's arms, he felt at peace in his heart, and fatigue came over him. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Luochen felt that he had a very satisfying sleep. He thought he had just taken a short nap, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the sun was setting and he had actually slept for a whole day!
Xiao Luochen looked around and immediately recognized that he was in Su Musong's bedroom. He was sleeping on Su Musong's bed. The furnishings in the room remained the same as they had been for ten years.
Xiao Buyi had been guarding the bedside. When he saw his father wake up, he threw himself into Xiao Luochen's arms.
“Daddy!”
Xiao Luochen gently patted Xiao Buyi's back to comfort him.
"Daddy is here. I'm sorry for making Buyi worried these days."
"Daddy, I was so scared that I would never see you again. You don't know how scared I was when Uncle Su brought you in just now. Fortunately, you were just asleep."
Xiao Luochen felt something was wrong
"Bu Yi, how did I get in?"
"Uncle Mu Song carried me in. Just like the time you sprained your waist, he carried you down from the sky. My uncles and aunts took me on a tour of the mansion, and we happened to meet here."
Well, with the "uncles and aunts" that Xiao Buyi mentioned, Xiao Luochen knew that Mu Bai, Mu Feng, Prince Ding, and Mo Lin and his wife were probably all there at that time.
Although he didn't shy away from revealing his relationship with Su Musong in front of others, the situation was still somewhat awkward. Fortunately, he was sound asleep at the time and didn't have to face such a situation.
"Uncle Mu Song said you were tired and needed to rest, so I had to stay here and wait for you to wake up."
Xiao Luochen patted Buyi's head with satisfaction. After this incident, Buyi became more sensible.
Su Musong walked into the bedroom and saw Xiao Luochen woke up. He poured a cup of tea and fed it to Xiao Luochen's lips.
"Did you sleep well?"
Seeing that Xiao Buyi was still there, Xiao Luochen did not drink directly, but took the teacup from Su Musong and drank it all in one gulp.
After sleeping for so long, I was really thirsty. The tea was warm, probably because Su Musong had ordered the maid to keep changing it.
"Why didn't you wake me up and made Mu Feng and the others wait for so long?"
"Seeing you were sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to disturb you. I had already sent Mu Feng and the others back a long time ago, so they didn't have to wait long."
Xiao Luochen knew that Su Mufeng and the others gathered here, most likely to welcome him, but he fell asleep and felt a little guilty.
"You should have woken me up. This party was originally held for me. This is very rude."
"That's fine. I'll invite you tomorrow. We're both in Kyoto anyway, so it's very convenient. Let's just use today to recuperate first, which is fine."
Su Musong looked at Xiao Luochen's pale face and secretly cursed Wang Zheng again in his heart.
Xiao Luochen thought what he said made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.
"I've ordered someone to prepare a bath. Go take a shower first. Bu Yi and I will wait for you to have dinner together."
"good."
As soon as Xiao Luochen left, Xiao Buyi started complaining.
"Daddy has lost a lot of weight, and his face has lost all its color. Look at his current body, I'm afraid he would be blown away by a strong wind. That bad guy who kidnapped Daddy is so despicable, he should be arrested as well, starved for ten days or half a month, and make him lose half his life."
"Don't worry, Bu Yi. He's been arrested. I'll go to the prison tomorrow and ask the jailer to take good care of him so that your father can vent his anger, okay?"
"You don't have to say these things to comfort me. Since he's in prison, whether he's hungry or not is a small matter. The only thing is that we must never let him get out again."
Su Musong watched Xiao Buyi, who had just been acting coquettishly in Xiao Luochen's arms, suddenly start shouting and fighting behind his father's back. He couldn't help but marvel at this little guy, he had two faces. But when he recalled what Xiao Buyi had said to him in Qingzhu Village, he felt as if he had always been like this. He was clearly a precocious and intelligent child, but he acted innocent in front of his father.
