Gu Xiaojia ran past two streets before he caught up with Tao Mo. "You. Why do you run so fast?"

Tao Mo replied absentmindedly, "Not at all. I have two legs after all."

Gu Xiaojia almost could not catch his breath.

When Tao Mo saw that he was not talking, he turned around and left again. Gu Xiaojia hurriedly jumped in front of him to stop him, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the yamen."

With great alarm, Gu Xiaojia asked, "Why do you want to go back to the yamen so quickly?"

Tao Mo shyly replied, "I want to ask Secretary Jin to write a visitation card."

"This... actually... the visitation card isn't that important." Gu Xiaojia hesitated for a while before he grabbed Tao Mo's hand and pulled him back. "Follow me. I'll notify in your place."

"Not good, not good." Tao Mo hurriedly shook off his hand. "The courtesy can't be disregarded. It won't be good if Gu She gets annoyed."

If you'll procrastinate like this, you'll really annoy Young Master, Gu Xiaojia thought. "You can rest assured that if l'm there, Young Master won't say anything."

"This isn't appropriate either." Tao Mo insisted. "If this matter was known by others, they'd get dissatisfied with Young Master Gu. It's not good."

Who'd be dissatisfied with Master because of this trifle? Gu Xiaojia was almost speechless.

Tao Mo added, "How about if I go back to the yamen first, and when Secretary Jin's free, I'll ask him to write a visitation card, then come to visit again?"

Gu Xiaojia was puzzled: "Why do you have to wait for Secretary Jin to be free?"

Tao Mo's face blushed, then he replied, "Secretary Jin's dealing with his official duties. He shouldn't be bothered with such personal matters as writing a visitation card. I'll wait until he'll be free."

God knows how long this would take. Gu Xiaojia glared and said, "Do you intend to make our household's Young Master wait for you like this?"

Tao Mo ignorantly replied, "I haven't sent you my visitation card. How can your household's Young Master be waiting for me?"

Gu Xiaojia obstructed him and gritted his teeth. "Stop, let me write the visitation card for you."

"This is still not good." Tao Mo still hesitated.

Gu Xiaojia was so angry so that all of his hair almost stood on its end, "What's still not good with this?"

Tao Mo responded, "In case that your household's Young Master recognizes your handwriting, he may suspect that I'm not sincere enough."

"You think too much." Gu Xiaojia stomped his foot. "You can rest assured that I won't let Young Master make out that it's my handwriting!"

Since he talked big, he had to live up to his promise.

Seeing Tao Mo filled with joy as he was grinding beside him, Gu Xiaojia was completely depressed from reaping what he had sown.

"Why do you write using your left hand?" Tao Mo asked.
