Tao Mo's thighs trembled, and Lao Tao's hand slipped and fell into vain.

"Sorry." Tao Mo whispered.

Lao Tao continued to massage as if nothing had happened, "Young master treats each other with a normal heart, and there is no need to underestimate himself."

Tao Mo supported his hands on both sides of his body and said carefully: "Old Tao, don't you blame me?"

Lao Tao said: "If I blame you, can the young master change it?"

Tao Mo opened his mouth and lowered his head and said, "I will try my best to endure it." After his father died, he regarded Lao Tao and Hao Guozi as relatives.

Lao Tao's lips raised slightly, "How can a man be patient in everything?"

Tao Mo was stunned.

Lao Tao let go of his hand, patted his knees that were pressed red, helped him put down his trouser legs, packed up the medicine, stood up and said, "Forget it. In life, it is rare to be sober and difficult to be confused."

Tao Mo was confused, "It's rare to be sober, and it's rare to be confused?"

Lao Tao said: "It is not a good thing to be sober in emotions and be confused in the world."

Tao Mo savored this sentence three times before suddenly saying, "You, are you not objecting?"

"Gu She, Gu Xianzhi," Lao Tao sighed softly and said with a smile, "A person like this should be so popular among men and women in the world."

Tao Mo smiled foolishly at first, then said sadly: "Yes. He should be from the world."

Lao Tao said: "When today, except for the emperor who belongs to the world, who should have worked diligently and devoted themselves to the world, no one should belong to the world."

Tao Mo was shocked. This was the first time he heard Lao Tao say such a ruthless thing.

Lao Tao said: "Isn't it? The emperor is holding the world, but isn't it also carrying the world?"

Tao Mo shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, you won't understand." Lao Tao said, "You just need to remember that many impossible things in this world are not difficult to achieve themselves, but have been rejected before they are realized."

Tao Mo blinked. Although he failed to understand his true meaning for a while, he had already remembered this sentence firmly in his heart.

Lao Tao heard the footsteps and patted his stomach and said, "As he said, I'm hungry."

Hao Guozi walked in with a smile, "I have sweet and sour today...ah!"

Lao Tao looked at the food that was smashed to the ground and Hao Guozi, who was promising to the ground, slowly took out the medicine from his arms, comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's not enough, it's not used up yet."

On the first day of returning to Tanyang County, Tao Mo was very busy dealing with official affairs in the yamen and did not leave his home.

On the second day, Tao Mo was still very busy and didn't leave the house.

On the third day, don’t leave the house.

On the fourth day, no exit.

On the fifth day, no.

...

On the eighth day, Master Jin was idle and took part of his copywriting to the yard to spread.

Tao Mo sat on the stone bench, staring at the sky in a daze.

"The boss is not going out?" he asked casually.

Tao Mo replied subconsciously: "I'm very busy."

"What are you busy with?" Master Jin felt very guilty. Unexpectedly, when the boss was very busy, he wanted to doze off.

"Busy to deal with official affairs in the yamen."

Master Jin asked gently, "What official business?" He really wanted to know what official business was in addition to what he handled, except for what he handled!

"Housed..." Tao Mo suddenly came back to his senses. It was Master Jin, and his face turned red, "No, there is no official business."

Master Jin sat down opposite him, "What's the matter with the boss?"

Tao Mo shook his head with a dry smile.

"If the boss wants to see Mr. Gu, just go there." Master Jin said, "No need to look forward to it." Gu She's identity background was what he said. Seeing Tao Mo so distressed, he felt a little guilty.

"How do you know..." Tao Mo looked at him with a red face. Could it be that the entire yamen knew about his thoughts?

Master Jin said, "Although Mr. Gu is the son of Gu Xiang, he has no fame and fortune, and is just a commoner. Besides, Gu Xiang has a high position and power, and is thousands of miles away from Tanyang County. The boss does not have to worry about any rumors."

Tao Mo realized that he had a different relationship and lowered his head and said, "I'm not worried about this."

Master Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the boss worried that he will implicate Mr. Gu? There is no need to worry about this. The magistrate's scepter and punishment should not be repeated. The magistrate's ambition and courage will never touch Mr. Gu any more. Not only that, I am afraid that if others want to touch Mr. Gu, he will not follow him." If something happened to Gu Xiang's son on his territory, he would not be able to take care of him.

Tao Mo said: "It's not this either."

Even Master Jin claimed to be extremely smart, but he couldn't guess what he thought. "What are the boss worried about?" If an ordinary person had such an opportunity to make friends with Gu Xianzhi in front of him, he would be afraid that he would pounce on him with a smile, so he would be in a dilemma and be unable to move forward?

Tao Mo sighed, "I just can't pass my own level."

The closer he got to Gu She, the more he was attracted to him. As Lao Tao said, men and women in the world would flock to him, and he was just a drop in the vast sea of ​​people. He had no talent and no appearance, and was still a man. Just thinking about it, he felt that the sky was dark and there was no hope at all.

Before, I didn't know that Gu She was Gu Xianzhi, but he could still deceive himself and be confused. Now, the barrier between thousands of mountains and rivers is really between the two. Even though Lao Tao said that there was not no hope at all and there was no need to underestimate himself, in his opinion, this hope is no different from finding a drop in the ocean?

...

Since this is the case, it would be better for him to stop this delusion early, and it would be better for him to break his heart in the future.

"Boss?!" Master Jin looked at two lines of clear tears falling from Tao Mo's eyes in shock.

"What are you doing?" Hao Guozi jumped out of nowhere and stared at Master Jin with a cautious look on his face.

Master Jin innocently spread his hands and said, "I did nothing."

Tao Mo wiped his tears, "Don't do what Master is doing."

Hao Guozi said, "Why did the young master cry?"

Tao Mo covered his face and said depressedly for a while: "I just figured out something." It turned out that he thought he had just stopped his delusions at this moment. After trying it, he realized that he had broken his heart.

After sending people to the yamen to investigate for a few days, they said that Tao Mo was busy handling official duties and had no time to take care of him. Gu Xiaojia sneered repeatedly. So when he saw Tao Mo coming to the door with something, he originally wanted to mock him, but when he approached, he found that his eyes were red and swollen. He was surprised and said, "Is there so many things happening in the yamen?"

Tao Mo was stunned and hesitated: "Not." In the end, he couldn't control his desire. He knew that he was getting deeper and deeper, but he couldn't help but watch himself fall.

He was so angry that Gu Xiaojia was full of complaints. Gu Xiaojia reached out to take the gift, and handed it to the doorman without looking at it. He turned around and walked in and said, "How much salary can you earn in the yamen? What are you doing when buying some useless things? Anyway, there are everything in our mansion."

Tao Mozhi was hard-hearted and soft-hearted, and followed him silently without saying a word.

Knowing that Gu Xiaojia was shooting, he slowed down and knocked on the door lightly twice. Seeing that there was no movement, he tiptoed to push the door and waved to Tao Mo after a while.

Tao Mo subconsciously took light steps.

Gu Xiaojia lowered his voice and said, "Young Master is taking a nap, you are waiting outside. I'll go and decoct medicine for you." He has always done his own job in serving Gu She.

Tao Mo nodded.

Gu Xiaojia went out gently and closed the door.

Tao Mo stood outside for a while, but finally couldn't help but miss it in his heart and quietly walked into the inner room.

As the bed curtain fell, I could only vaguely see the outline inside.

Tao Mo found a position opposite the bed and sat down, lay on the table, smelling the faint orchid fragrance, and the corners of his mouth were bent to a satisfying curve.

If life is like the present, under the same eaves as Gush, smelling the same fragrance, even if he can't see the other person, he will be infinitely happy.

"water."

A light word called back his mind from the distant future.

Tao Mo stood up in shock, poured water in panic, then walked to the bed and lifted up the curtain.

Gu She was still sleeping on her tummy. The room was about to be stuffy, and a layer of thin sweat broke out on his forehead and face, and his hair was pressed against his face, making him look lazy.

"Be careful." Tao Mo lowered the cup.

Hearing his voice, Gu She opened her eyes.

"Drink water." Tao Mo brought the cup a little closer.

Gu She supported the bed with both hands, slowly knelt up, took the teacup from his hand, took a few sips before saying, "Thank you."

Tao Mo was stunned for a moment, took the cup, and said, "You're welcome."

Gu She lay down sideways.

Tao Mo took the initiative to help him tuck the quilt.

Gu She let him be busy, "There are any difficult cases in the yamen?"

"No." Tao Mo said softly: "You can rest with peace of mind."

Gu She smiled and said with a smile: "I am not a member of the yamen. What does it have to do with whether I have a difficult case in the yamen? Is there any relationship between it and whether I am resting with peace of mind?"

Tao Mo was suffocated by the question, and was silent for a while before whispering: "I have been confused by something these days."

"Let me tell me." Gu She had a different passion for confusion.

Tao Mo stuttered: "My thoughts."

Gu Sho raised his eyebrows.
