Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 869: Li Xing’an Side Story (02): Living Together_2

Chapter 869: Li Xing’an Side Story (02): Living Together_2

Luo Sheng sighed deeply in his heart. How about, for now, just this?

Someday, seize the opportunity to ask this person for help to escape the Capital?

Instead of living in constant fear and hiding, why not stay at his house? Given the status of a cousin, she shouldn’t come to his place.

The government officials on the street wouldn’t dare search his house. When he was with this person, those officials didn’t even question him.

His house is big, so it would be a good place to hide.

Luo Sheng thought it over and agreed, "Then I apologize for bothering you."

"No need for apologies, no need at all, hahaha," Li Xing’an laughed.

The server brought out the dishes.

Luo Sheng seemed famished, his eyes brightened at the sight of the food.

Li Xing’an usually ate alone, so it felt great to have company. He was in a good mood and served Luo Sheng some food, "Come, come, this is delicious, this one is also good."

Luo Sheng politely replied, "I’ll help myself, I’ll help myself."

The two ate while casually chatting and exchanging stories.

Luo Sheng was quite talkative, telling intriguing stories from around the world, which Li Xing’an listened to with great interest.

"Brother Luo, how do you know so much? Have you traveled to many places?" Li Xing’an asked, surprised.

Luo Sheng chuckled, revealing dimples and his pretty little white teeth, dazzling Li Xing’an for a moment.

Strange, why does a guy smile like a girl?

But thinking this person is a master storyteller, Li Xing’an held back his disdain.

"I read a lot of books. Isn’t there a saying? Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles," Luo Sheng boasted proudly.

Li Xing’an realized, "Oh, I see."

"Right, what kind of books do you usually read?" Luo Sheng asked.

Li Xing’an felt a headache, "Ah, well, you know, there are so many, I can’t remember."

He never liked reading!

To make him read was worse than sending him into the mountains to chop firewood.

He noticed that Luo Sheng only ate food and didn’t drink wine.

Li Xing’an poured a cup of wine for Luo Sheng, "Why do you only eat food? Don’t you drink wine? Come, try this wine. It’s the famous wine in this restaurant. The business here thrives because of the excellent wine brewed by the shopkeeper’s wife."

Luo Sheng turned pale with fright, "I...I don’t know how to drink."

"How can a grown man not know how to drink? That’s useless. If you don’t know, then learn. Come, come, have a cup first. I’m telling you, the more you drink, a few cups each day, and over time, you’ll be able to drink," Li Xing’an poured him a big full cup of wine.

Luo Sheng grimaced, couldn’t resist the persuasion, and reluctantly drank it down.

After one cup, Li Xing’an poured another one, "See, you can drink! For becoming good brothers, here’s another cup."

Luo Sheng was coaxed into drinking another cup.

With the third cup, Li Xing’an said he wouldn’t mind Luo Sheng climbing the trees in his house and another cup was due.

Luo Sheng was worried that Li Xing’an would announce his tree-climbing incident, so he drank another cup.

Drunkenly muddled Luo Sheng insisted he wouldn’t drink anymore. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Li Xing’an patted his shoulder, laughing, "Not bad, not bad. Today you had three cups, tomorrow you can have six."

Luo Sheng, "..."

He ground his teeth secretly, if he wasn’t in urgent need to hide his identity, he could beat this fellow half to death!

He actually made him drink!

I wonder, after some time, would he be so drunk as to unintentionally reveal his true identity?

Eating and talking, unwittingly, it passed halfway into one hour.

Li Xing’an paid for the meal and drink, leading Luo Sheng to his residence.

Along the way, there was another troop in government official uniforms, greeting Li Xing’an.

Li Xing’an waved impatiently, "Alright, alright, hurry up and find him, search carefully. Right, at the few city gates, keep a tight watch for me, don’t let anyone escape!"

The leader replied, "Don’t worry, Third Prince, the city gates are heavily guarded, no suspicious person would get through."

"Remember, the runaway may be in disguise, won’t wear previous clothes, search carefully!" Li Xing’an reminded them.

"Understood, Third Prince."

"Off you go," Li Xing’an waved them away.

While Li Xing’an talked with the government officials, Luo Sheng hid behind him all the time, and as he listened, his brows furrowed.

Not sparing those in disguise?

Luo Sheng looked himself over.

"Brother Luo, what’s wrong? Why are you daydreaming?" Li Xing’an patted him.

Luo Sheng was startled, sheepishly remarked, "Third Brother Li, how much farther to your place? I’m tired."

"Ah, we’re almost there, just ahead at the market district."

The two returned to the Prince Mansion.

At the entrance, welcoming Li Xing’an was the little servant who patrolled the night before. Recognizing the person Li Xing’an brought back as the one who climbed the tree last night, the servant’s eyes widened in surprise, "Third Prince, why did you bring back the thief?"
