In the small courtyard, Ou Yangming hurriedly used both hands to support He Jian as he said softly, "Old He, you're making us sound so distant. We're friends so if you say that, the feeling becomes different. There's no need for us to be so strange with each other, don't you think so?"
The change in the term of address from Senior He to Old He was a huge piece of information. This was also Ou Yangming's wise way of dealing with the world. If he had to climb up the pole, he would do it. This was how favors were like. People eventually got closer to each other like that.
He Jian hurriedly smiled and said, "I was being too persistent!"
Then, he slapped his thigh and laughed heartily. "Look, I've become so silly. Quickly come inside, quickly come inside."
Ou Yangming waved his hand. At this time, between the two of them, he had absolute authority. He asked, "Old He, is this place safe?"
