Hua Xiaomai almost burst into laughter at his phrase "courteous but with a sense of distance," but she managed to suppress it and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's exactly it. Scholar Wen, you truly are the most educated and reasonable person in Fire Knife Village, full of talent!"
Wen Huaren's face flushed red, and he quickly said, "It's nothing," and without hesitation, he dipped his pen in ink and started writing, turning Hua Xiaomai's words into a grand, eloquent letter, which he read back to her.
