Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

The other duo of the four-member team, Ye Li and Liang Tao, were climbing up the mountain tirelessly and aimlessly.

Even though there were only two of them, Liang Tao still kept a distance, trying to play the role of the invisible man well.

Ye Li was tired from walking, so he stopped and reached out to touch the leaves on the side of the road, and accidentally sneezed, scaring Liang Tao into a stunned place, not daring to move.

Ye Li thought it was funny that Liang Tao, who was so frightened and tensed up at the slightest sign of trouble, was funny. The corners of his eyes slightly curled up, and he said, "Is that why you're so afraid of me?"

Liang Tao: "...No."

Ye Li said: "Did you start thinking about this autumn outing when I pulled you into the group? How will I deal with you?"

"..." Liang Tao: "I have thought about it."

Ye Li shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you before? The grievances between us have been wiped out."

Liang Tao: "Wouldn't it be too cheap for me?"

Ye Li said: "I'm not that stingy. What you said is the truth, and you didn't slander me. Help me show everyone the fig leaf that I have been embarrassed to say. To be honest, it made me breathe a sigh of relief—the next few years There is no need to deliberately hide it."

Liang Tao didn't quite understand, he said, "Oh..."

"Besides, I have something wrong." Ye Li didn't have to act like a "good classmate and class leader" in front of Liang Tao because he had seen his "true face".

He said bluntly: "I clearly saw that you were dissatisfied with me before, but I was arrogant and thought 'it's nothing, just hate it', and deliberately didn't look for the cause of the problem. Qiu Mu deliberately didn't tell me The culprit is you, and I just hope that I can learn a lesson and understand my own problems... The problem is that I think highly of myself and don't take you seriously, so I encountered this kind of bad luck."

Liang Tao was confused by Ye Li's thinking circuit beyond ordinary people, and was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't understand Ye Li's thoughts well, but that was the only thing he understood.

Ye Li is a terrifying person. If possible, he would never want to be an enemy of such a guy in the future.Because this person is too sensible, there is no "personal grievance" in his mind at all, and there are only "results".

So no matter whether there is new or old hatred, as long as Ye Li wants to achieve his goal, he will use whatever he can, even if the person in front of him has harmed him or made him feel dissatisfied.

"Will you continue to say, if possible, plan to be friends with me?" Liang Tao said.

Ye Li wondered, "Why can't you say, will you suffer from being friends with me?"

"..." Gu Yu's figure flashed across Liang Tao's mind for some reason.

The phone in his pocket rang, but Ye Li didn't continue to ask.Opened the phone cover, glanced at the name of the incoming call, and laughed: "It's over? I thought I was going to wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

Qiu Mu said unhappily: "What are you talking about, Xiao Yu has been thinking about where you have been, and I don't even have the time to take a good look at the scenery. Come here quickly, we will wait for you at the lunch place."

Ye Li: "Yes, mylord."

Putting away the phone and lifting his chin, Ye Li instructed Liang Tao, "Let's go, we're going back."

Liang Tao was sent back and forth by Ye Lizhi, and he never figured out what Ye Li called him out by himself. He could only nod obediently: "Oh."

Ten minutes later, the group of four reunited.

Ye Li said to the two with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something happened just now."

The moment Qiu Mu saw Ye Li, he gave him a look of "I really admire you". He must have a lot to say to Ye Li next.

Ye Li lowered his head, touched his nose lightly, and smiled.

Full of exhaustion and satisfaction, Qiu Mu and Ye Li returned home at six o'clock in the afternoon.

I had lunch with my grandpa, and the two went to the bathroom to change into pajamas after a shower.Qiu Mu knocked on Ye Li's door.

Ye Li didn't look surprised, or rather, he had been waiting for Qiu Mu to find him.

Qiu Mu cut to the chase: "You..."

Ye Li said: "You are gay."

Although he was mentally prepared, but suddenly being asked by someone - and the closest person around him, Qiu Mu's heart rate soared instantly, and his steps were messed up.

Ye Li smiled a little, this smile is very reassuring, Qiu Mu's mood calmed down silently, not so flustered.

"Looking at your reaction, it really is. Most people may have heard of the new word 'gay', but 'gay' is rarely heard of. Although your English is very good, it should not be possible to learn this from books. Bar."

Qiu Mu said: "When did you notice it?"

Ye Li said: "Actually, a long time ago, I more or less discovered that you are very kind to Xiaoyu. But because you usually care about me, even if I was confused, I didn't think about it—ordinary people don't. Think about it that way."

Signaling Qiu Mu to close the door, so as not to be overheard by grandpa and aunt Huang outside, Ye Li continued: "If you really want to understand, it should be the summer vacation when elementary school entered junior high school. You saw me twice... The reaction was very strange. I couldn't understand the reason, so I went to your room to borrow a computer to find out what was going on, but I accidentally searched for the wrong keyword, so I know."

He spread his hands and made an expression of "all this is really a coincidence".

Qiu Mu: "Keywords?" He began to recall Ye Li's every move after borrowing the computer, and what he said, but unfortunately, his memory was a little fuzzy, and he couldn't remember it.

Ye Li said: "'Reaction'."

——Does the word “response” have other meanings?

With the reminder, Qiu Mu instantly recalled the question Ye Li asked him when he came out.

He couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Is this all right?"

The secret that I had hidden for so long, was exposed because of a word with double meaning?

It's better to say that Ye Li has good observation skills, and he discovered Xin Mi, which can also make Qiu Mu feel more acceptable.

"Then why didn't you show it at all after you found out?" Qiu Mu suddenly received that text message from Ye Li today, and Qiu Mu's heart was almost so frightened that it jumped out of her throat.

"At that time, I didn't know that there was anything special about homosexuality. After all, no one taught me these things since I was a child." No one could teach me.

The lack of family and abnormal growth environment made him very sensitive in some things, but also very slow in some things.It's just that the shrewd appearance blinded his vision, so no one, including Ye Li himself, could detect something was wrong.

Ye Li said: "I only know that you seem to like Xiaoyu, but I'm not sure. And the puppy love is not very good, so I didn't plan to tell others. Then I secretly observed you for a long time, and found that the eyes you looked at Xiaoyu were obviously abnormal. ——Compared with the way you look at me, when you look at Xiaoyu, it's obviously not like the way you look at me, your expression will be much softer... I can't say for sure."

Qiu Mu was a little ashamed, he really didn't expect Ye Li to find this out.From her previous life to the present, Qiu Mu has always been a closet, and has never confessed her homosexuality to anyone.Now it's the first time the eldest girl gets on the bridal sedan chair.

He didn't know what expression to use to face Ye Li, and his usual eloquence was useless here - because the other party was that 'Ye Li', who wanted to pretend to be sophistry in front of him, but instead fell flat. inferior.

"You... don't feel sick, or can't take it?"

Ye Li said instead: "How can such words come out of your mouth?"

Qiu Mu was taken aback.

"Even if what you are doing is something that the public doesn't approve of, I don't want to hear you belittle yourself." Ye Li said: "You really like Xiao Yu, so even if the gender is the same, you have always been secretly in love with him. That's it enough."

Qiu Mu opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer.

Ye Li said: "I accepted it very quickly. Since this is your decision, there must be your reason - so I tried to understand it for a while, and checked it online, and found that this is actually a It's a very normal thing with a scientific basis, not some so-called 'mental illness' or 'psychopathy', it's strange that it can't be accepted by everyone. So you don't need to take it to heart, it's not you who's wrong, it's someone else."

Qiu Mu was told by Ye Li's words and didn't know what to say.

"Yeah."

"Yes."

"What you said...you are too superstitious about me." Qiu Mu put his palm on his forehead and said, "I am not as good as you think. This kind of thing is inherently shameful, I just I have no self-confidence, so I have been hiding it..."

Ye Li was dissatisfied: "Why did you say such a thing again?"

"Because that's what it is." Qiu Mu said, "I'm not as omnipotent as you think. This kind of thing..."

Ye Li patted Qiu Mu's back hard, and the echo could be heard in the room with such force: "Cheer up!"

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li in surprise.

"Don't say 'this kind of thing', 'this kind of thing' anymore, it makes me uncomfortable to hear it." Ye Li said: "You are belittling yourself, and you are also belittling me."

"..."

Ye Li: "Just like today, I will always support the two of you behind your back." He made a gesture that is hard to imagine he would make at ordinary times, and gave Qiu Mu a thumbs up to cheer him up: "So be more confident, yourself If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you do it?”

Qiu Mu smiled.

"Sometimes it really doesn't feel like you're a kid," he said.

Ye Li: "What are you talking about, you are obviously the same age as me."

"Haha..." Qiu Mu suddenly felt very funny. I don't know why, after taking a breath, my body relaxed, and I couldn't suppress the smile that rose from the bottom of my heart: "Haha, hahahaha... ...."

He clutched his belly, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.Stretching out his index finger to pick away the tears from the corner of his eyes, he said sincerely: "Thank you, Xiao Li, thank you."

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu who was out of breath from laughing, and said angrily, "You're welcome."

After talking, Qiu Mu felt more comfortable getting along with Ye Li.There is one more common topic and secret, and the spiritual distance also unknowingly becomes closer.

At this time, Qiu Mu suddenly realized that Ye Li seemed to have a stubborn and unreasonable "Qiu Mu worship", as if he always believed in him unconditionally. Persuading himself in the way, leaving a creed in his worldview that "Qiu Mu is gay, so homosexuality in this world is normal and correct", so stubborn that Qiu Mu himself can't believe it.

There are so many wise and powerful people in this world, but Ye Li chose himself, and he doesn't know why.

Maybe it's just because I was the first person to lend a helping hand to Ye Li and walk into his spiritual world, so there may be some "baby bird plot".

After talking with Ye Li, Qiu Mu returned to the bedroom and looked at the computer on the table.After thinking about it, he closed the door and turned on the computer.Like being a thief, I felt like I was peeping at other people's privacy. I opened the history in the browser, turned to the search history a few months ago, and looked at it.

[Seeing the naked body, the reaction is strange]

This is the first keyword entered by Ye Li.

Qiu Mu was speechless: "..."

The search content is so deep that he can imagine what the search results Ye Li saw at that time, it must be very rare.

So Ye Li deleted "naked body" and changed it to "body", and added a "friend" to prove the purity and innocence of the relationship between the two.

[Seeing a friend's body, the reaction is strange]

Unfortunately, the result didn't change much, so Ye Li changed the word "friend" to "same sex".

[Seeing a body of the same sex, the reaction is strange]

And then...then the door to a new world opened.

The back row is all subpages under the search page, which are densely filled with various posts about homosexuality.

Across a screen, Qiu Mu could imagine Ye Li's shock at that time.

That's why I asked him why the word "reaction" has two meanings.

Thinking that Ye Li with a sluggish expression would be very funny, Qiu Mu laughed softly at the screen.

Feel happy again after laughing.Fortunately, it was Ye Li who discovered this, and fortunately Ye Li did not dislike himself after he found out.

In case he couldn't accept it at the time, so he stayed away from himself.Qiu Mu felt that she would be very sad.

It was hard to talk about it because of this, and I felt inferior.But because of this matter, Ye Li, who was treated sincerely, alienated him, and was even denied by him...

It is estimated that the impact will be greater.

Two days later, Qiu Mu and Ye Li sat in the room and did their homework together.Qiu Mu said: "Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that my behavior is quite despicable."

Ye Li was puzzled: "Why?"

Qiu Mu said: "Xiao Yu is still so young and doesn't understand anything, but I approached him with that kind of mind."

"..." Aren't you the same age?What is "the light rain is still so small".Ye Li said: "I wanted to ask you before, you wouldn't have been... Xiao Yu since elementary school, right?"

Qiu Mu nodded: "Yes."

Ye Li didn't know what was going on in his mind: "Well, when I was in elementary school, it was quite normal, quite normal."

I guess I'm hypnotizing myself again.

Qiu Mu quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong! I don't have that hobby. If I really want to do anything to him, I must wait until Xiao Yu has his own opinion before proceeding. Otherwise, isn't it maliciously deceiving ignorant young people?"

Ye Li just laughed: "A person who can say such a thing, why would he feel that he is 'despicable' just now, you are a 'super' gentleman, okay?"

At this time, ordinary people may think that the opportunity is rare, and then deliberately take advantage of the other party's youth and ignorance to instill some knowledge that is beneficial to them.Qiu Mu knew that this kind of thing was very "attractive", but still kept a distance, giving enough time and space for Gu Yu to let Gu Yu grow up slowly, and would not do anything because of Qiu Mu's ideas that might make Gu Yu A decision to regret in the future.

This style of behavior alone is enough to prove that Qiu Mu's idea is mediocre and groundless self-troubled.

After hearing this, Qiu Mu realized that she had been tricked by Ye Li again.

Really no match for him, Qiu Mu said helplessly: "But taking advantage of Xiao Yu's young age, I deliberately approached him and wanted to create a good impression in front of him, which is also an indisputable fact."

"What do you mean, don't you want to be friends with Xiao Yu?" Ye Li said, "I thought—"

Qiu Mu: "It feels good to be friends, it's better than being a stranger. But when I was with Xiao Yu, I didn't feel like when I was with you. It's not very natural, and I can't help but think about it."

Ye Li gave Qiu Mu a weird look, and said, "That's right."

Qiu Mu said: "Xiao Yu is not you, if he knows that I have such thoughts about him, he will definitely..."

Ye Li: "But the person you like is right in front of you, will you hold back from doing it?"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Li paused for some reason, then lowered his head slightly.

Qiu Mu: "Well..."

"...Do everything you can to win favor and let the person you like like you. Yeah, not mature at all."

Qiu Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "You have just graduated from primary school, so don't speak in such a tone, okay?"

Sometimes when chatting with Ye Li, I often have the illusion that I am talking to my peers.Although this kind of feeling makes Qiu Mu feel comfortable and at ease, occasionally he also has a funny thought of "I can talk to a teenager like that, have I really become a child?"

Ye Li complained: "It's not your turn to talk about me like this."

Who is more like an adult?

Qiu Mu couldn't help feeling emotional: "Sometimes I think about it, I'm very lucky."

"What are you lucky about? Are you lucky that you met your true son so early?" Ye Li said.

"I'm glad I met you."

"..." Ye Li was taken aback.

Qiu Mu explained: "If you weren't by my side, sometimes I might really be suffocated to death by so many thoughts in my heart."

Being a child is not easy, although it is easy and stress-free.But I can't do what I want to do. I mix among a group of students every day, and I can't express my unspeakable emotions.

Now that Ye Li discovered his biggest secret, to be honest, Qiu Mu was very relieved.Having someone by your side who can discuss your thoughts can really release a lot of pressure on the soul.

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "You've been refusing to skip a grade all this time because of Xiao Yu."

It's not that Ye Li couldn't see Qiu Mu's boredom in class when he was in school.Obviously it is a knowledge point that I have learned a long time ago, but I still have to sit in my seat for four to 10 minutes a day, unable to do anything.It's quite excruciating to think about.

Qiu Mu nodded, imagining what he would look like if Gu Yu wasn't around: "Either he's already in high school, or he's helping my parents' company with business. No matter what, I definitely won't stay here."

Ye Li said, "Then why don't you find something else to do now?"

Qiu Mu: "Other things?"

Ye Li looked around the room for a week, and said to Qiu Mu: "Aren't there many difficult books here? Most of them seem to be related to economics. Since you are interested in these things, don't waste your time and learn something. For knowledge in this area, it’s better to focus on these.”

He thought seriously: "Your family is in business, learning some of this kind of knowledge will also help the family."

Qiu Mu said: "But I know these things a long time ago."

Ye Li blinked his eyes, and immediately put on an expression of "As expected of Qiu Mu, really amazing". He had never seen Qiu Mu read these books a few times, but he really believed Qiu Mu's words in an instant, and Qiu Mu was so impressed. I am ashamed.

"It should be difficult for uncles and aunts to accept your sexual orientation." Ye Li suggested, "Even if Xiaoyu accepts you in the future, if you want to confess your relationship to the world, you will encounter many difficulties. "

Isn't that what it is.

In the past period of time, Qiu Mu has been afraid to imagine the future, afraid of the consequences of "if the confession fails", so she subconsciously avoided this issue.

Now that Ye Li mentioned it face to face, Qiu Mu followed Ye Li's topic and thought: "So?"

Ye Li said angrily: "You never thought about it, if your uncles and aunts object, what will you do? If they kick you out of the house, can you take good care of yourself and Xiaoyu?"

Qiu Mu suddenly said: "This is true."

Ye Li saw something was wrong, and said straight to the point: "You have never thought about the future, have you? Are you really going to confess to Xiao Yu?"

If it weren't for the subconscious feeling that it was impossible to have a relationship with Gu Yu, how could Qiu Mu choose to "take one step at a time" and keep procrastinating.

Qiu Mu was speechless.

"Since I brought Xiao Yu to that road, I must take full responsibility. If you can't let him live a happy life, what kind of man is he?" Ye Li's words were deafening, and he kept forcing Qiu Mu to move forward, so that he could not live a happy life. Continue to choose to escape: "If your uncle and aunt don't let you enter their company and drive you out of the house, you have to have your own business and can resist the pressure that your uncle and aunt put on you."

The enlightening words made Qiu Mumaosai suddenly realize: "You are right!"

Ye Li said unhappily: "How can you do this without thinking about it? You really care too much about the result of 'no mistakes', so instead you are in the middle of the game and can't see the situation clearly. What is this called?" Trembling purposefully '?"

The more you want to achieve the goal, the easier it is to fail.

Qiu Mu laughed, opened his arms and pulled Ye Li's shoulders, shook it, leaned on Ye Li's body, and pressed Ye Li's hair with his palms to make a mess: "Little guy, you still educate me coming."
