Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Ye Li quickly saw that something was wrong with Gu Yu.

"Xiaoyu, why didn't you finish your homework?"

Gu Yu turned her head away, did not look into Ye Li's eyes, and lied, "Sorry, I forgot to write."

Ye Li thought about it: "...It's not good to hand it in like this, but there is no time to write it now, so let me borrow you to copy it first."

Gu Yu: "Well, okay, thank you."

While looking for homework, Ye Li didn't care and said, "Thank you?"

Then the second day, the third day, the fourth day.

Gu Yu didn't write any homework.

Ye Li secretly found Qiu Mu.

"Xiao Yu has been very strange these days...he is not a person who refuses to do his homework, is there something happened at home?"

Qiu Mu said, "I'll ask Xiao Yu's mother tonight."

Ye Li took a careful look at Gu Yu who was sitting not far away, and said, "Yes."

......

"Xiao Yu hasn't done his homework or read books since he came back these few days." Gu Yu's mother said, "Either he was lying on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, or he was playing games. Ask him 'did you write your homework? The answer was written in school. Let him go to play with you, but he refused to go out—I thought something happened to him in school."

Ye Li shook his head and said, "Nothing happened in school, except for not doing homework or reading, Xiaoyu is the same as usual."

Qiu Mu frowned: "Three days ago, after Xiao Yu came home, did he talk to you about anything?"

To say that Gu Yu's attitude changed, that was the time period.

Gu Yu's mother thought about it seriously for a long time, and hesitated: "Speaking of it, Xiao Yu seems to have said something like 'why my mother never asked me to take the first grade exam'."

Having said that, her expression suddenly changed.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Qiu Mu hurriedly asked, "How did you answer?"

Gu Yu's mother's face was full of remorse: "...I said, 'With Xiao Mu and Xiao Li around, how could you pass them in the exam'——God, how could I say such a thing .”

How sad Gu Yu must have been when he heard that.

"..." Qiu Mu and Ye Li looked at each other.

They all saw the eyes of "the truth is revealed" from each other's faces.

"What should I do?" Ye Li asked.

Qiu Mu pondered for a moment: "It's probably useless to ask directly, Xiao Yu won't admit it. Persuasion may not be very effective, after all, the object of the conversation is us."

——The instigator of Gu Yu's heart knot.

Ye Li frowned: "I can't just do nothing."

"Let me think about it." Qiu Mu put his hand on his chin, bowed his head in thought for a moment, took two steps on the spot, and then said: "...Xiao Yu has been playing the game very well, right?"

Ye Li: "It's pretty good."

Qiu Mu: "If Xiao Yu is under psychological pressure because of us, then let him understand that his thinking is wrong, just don't go into a dead end."

Ye Li: "You mean, let him pass the game, understand that we are also inferior to him, and let him understand that academic performance is not the only criterion?"

Qiu Mu: "Yes."

Ye Li felt a little anxious: "Will it work?"

"Give it a try." Qiu Mu said, "We are the main reason why Xiaoyu became like this. But he just doesn't want to read and study, and his attitude towards us hasn't changed at all, so it means that the problem is mainly in the concept of 'gap', not It was the existence of the two of us who was disgusted by Xiao Yu."

"..." Ye Li: "Okay."

It always feels unreliable.

Qiu Mu saw that Ye Li's concern was chaotic, and said: "As long as our meaning is conveyed, Xiao Yu will naturally understand."

"Then give it a try."

Gu Yu's mother brought Qiu Mu into their house.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Mu and Xiao Li have come to play with you."

Qiu Mu's attitude is very natural, no different from when he usually comes to Gu Yu's house.Seeing Gu Yu sitting in front of the TV playing a game, he said, "Xiao Yu, you are playing a game."

Gu Yu subconsciously wanted to hide the controller in her hand, but then she thought of something, and took out the controller on purpose, showing it to Ye Li and the others.

"Yeah," he said.

Qiu Mu leaned over on his own, and glanced at the TV screen: "It's a plane war."

It is a game in which you control your own plane and fly forward continuously. You need to avoid many bullets and barrages and defeat the enemy's planes that keep appearing on the way.Very test operation.

"Ah, um."

Qiu Mu: "This can be operated by two people, right?"

Gu Yu: "Yes..."

He felt a little strange, why didn't Qiu Mu say that he was not doing his job properly?

Ye Li stood behind: "Xiao Mu, do you want to play too?"

Qiu Mu: "I'm thinking about it, what's wrong?"

Ye Li: "Nothing..."

Qiu Mu and Ye Li played the double reed: "You said 'also' just now, do you want to play too?"

Ye Li: "Well...but forget it, you can play."

Gu Yu said: "It's okay, you two can play, I'll watch over you."

Qiu Mu: "But..."

Gu Yu pretended to be understated and said: "I've been playing for several nights, let you guys play."

Ye Li and Qiu Mu looked at each other, then each picked up a game controller and started playing.

Seeing Gu Yu sitting on the sofa in the back without speaking, Qiu Mu was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Xiao Yu, why haven't you done your homework recently? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Gu Yu's calm heart suddenly tensed up.He pursed his lips tightly, and began to think about how to answer better.

But Ye Li said: "What does it matter? Anyway, they are all topics that I know how to do. Actually, I have long been too lazy to write, but as the monitor, I still do it for the time being to show off. Otherwise, I would like to copy yours too." .”

Qiu Mu scolded with a smile: "I'm too lazy to do my homework, I really misjudged you."

When Gu Yu heard this, her nerves tensed, and she suddenly panicked.

Misread you?

It's just that Ye Li was taught a lesson by Qiu Mu. Didn't Qiu Mu's opinion of himself who didn't do his homework a few days ago have become terribly bad?

Although the purpose is to let Qiu Mu and the others give up on themselves and stop slowing down their study progress because of him, they don't want them to hate him at all.

"You are wrong to think that study is everything." Ye Li retorted: "Who said that students must take study as the first priority? It is only because most students at this age can only do study, so they think study That's everything. But there are so many things that really matter, your thinking is too superficial."

While playing games, Qiu Mu asked in a casual tone: "Then tell me, is there anything more important?"

"Study hard to get into a good university, and to get into a good university is to get a better job in the future - but if the purpose is to go to school only to find a good job, then study for work in the first place , wouldn’t it be better to learn more professional knowledge? During the ten years of study time, don’t read books on ideology, politics, physical chemistry, etc. that will probably not be used in the future, and read other books—such as books on finance, no? Is it better?"

"..." Although I knew that I was playing a double reed, Ye Li said so much that Qiu Mu almost forgot what the two of them were here for: "That's not what they said, of course learning is important Otherwise, what do you all go to school for?"

Ye Li said: "Because I am too young to do other things, I can only be sent to school to learn knowledge and receive basic education, so as to prepare for future choices - but now we have overfulfilled the task at hand. Is it necessary to study so tremblingly and earnestly? Relax, study is not a big thing, you must think about it all the time."

"But don't you want to be better than me in the exam all day long?" Qiu Mu said, "You are not convincing at all."

Gu Yu kept nodding from behind.

Ye Li: "That's just the obsession of 'wanting to be better than you', and it doesn't really mean anything. Although there are not many geniuses in this world who are more powerful than you, Qiu Mu, there must be many. See me Have you compared with them—since you know, why don’t you let me take the first place next time?”

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "No."

"Your personality is too bad." Ye Li turned his head to Gu Yu who was sitting next to him and said, "Xiao Yu, why don't you speak? Say something about him for me."

Gu Yu was fascinated by listening to the conversation between the two just now, but now the topic changed suddenly, and she couldn't react for a while: "Huh? Ah, ah... yes."

"What 'ah, yes'." Ye Li said: "Do you think academic performance is so important?" Ye Li deliberately hammered Qiu Mu's shoulder: "Look at this 'first grade' being arrogant."

"No, although learning cannot be ignored, many other things are also very important."

Because she usually has this kind of character, it took a while after she said it before Gu Yu realized what she just said: "For example, in many things in life, Xiao Mu can't compare to you. What about washing dishes and cooking?" Yes, none of the ten Xiao Mu is as powerful as Xiao Li."

"That's right." Ye Li snorted, "And compared to games, Xiao Mu is much worse than me-well, although I am much worse than you, Xiao Yu. But in this respect, Xiao Mu is the last one. One, it's nothing special."

Qiu Mu: "What's wrong with you today, why are you targeting me so much?"

Ye Li: "I follow you every day and chase your footsteps. I'm exhausted, so don't let me get angry and complain once! Isn't it Xiao Yu?"

Gu Yu's eyes moved slightly.

Ye Li stuffed the game controller into Gu Yu's hand: "Come on, Xiao Yu, play with me, help me beat this No. [-] grader hard, and let him understand what is meant by 'There is a sky beyond the sky'."

"..."

Gu Yu took the handle, walked over and sat between the two of them, with a refreshing expression on his face: "Look at mine!"

He wanted to vent all the previous haze on the game, and his tone was a little carefree: "I am in a good state today, maybe I will break the record."

Ye Li and Qiu Mu looked at each other, and before Gu Yu found out, they quickly turned away with a smile: "Come on, come on, throw Qiu Mu to the back hard."

The corners of Qiu Mu's eyes curled up, and she manipulated the plane to chase Gu Yu's footsteps: "By the way, isn't this a cooperative game?"

It seems that there is no problem.

At night, Gu Yu took out the diary that she didn't write many pages.

"...Because I couldn't look directly at my weak self, I was almost swallowed by the laziness that was within reach, and I lost my goal in the suspended time. Thanks to Xiao Li and Xiao Mu, I finally understood. What was the reason for studying hard in the first place.”

"It's not to catch up with them and want to get good grades; it's not for the grades, so I force myself to study. It's just to be able to spend good time with them again and again, so I follow them and use The way of reading books follows them."

"Because they're going too fast, blame them for pushing themselves too hard; because they're too good, blame them for putting too much pressure on themselves - that's the opposite of the original idea. I'm not here to learn Only those who study hard only because of their grades. Compared with more and more geniuses, I just need to do as Xiao Mu said, 'According to my own rhythm and have a good time'. There is no limit to comparison."

"Thank you Xiaomu, thank you Xiaoyu. They are the best friends of my life."

After writing the last full stop, Gu Yu closed the notebook contentedly.Stretching, he turned his head to look at the schoolbag, and said to himself: "Let's write today's homework first! It's not good to let them continue to worry."

......

On the other side, Ye Li confirmed to Qiu Mu: "Is this all right?"

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "Didn't you see Xiao Yu's eyes when we left? It must be fine."

Ye Li: "Alright then."

Qiu Mu praised: "The cooperation was very good just now."

Ye Li felt like this: "It's okay."

"Obviously there is no rehearsal, but it is very good that you can continue the topic when you talk." Qiu Mu said: "And the process was very smooth, quite natural."

"That's because you are the one who cooperates." Ye Li said: "What will you say, and which direction you want to push the topic, isn't it easy to guess."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "No way, am I so easy to understand?"

Ye Li nodded: "Accidents are easy to guess."

Qiu Mu said with interest: "Then do you know what I'm thinking now?"

"It's enough to know that you like Xiao Yu." Ye Li said, "I don't want to guess anything else."

"..."

Ye Li: "What?"

Qiu Mu smiled, "You seem to be very active."

Ye Li: "Yes."

"Normally you can't do this." Qiu Mu said, "Are you the kind of person who would meddle in other people's love affairs?"

"..." Ye Li opened his eyes halfway, and looked elsewhere: "Isn't this what you wished for? Since you like it, then I'll help you. Brothers should be like this."

"But you..."

Qiu Mu couldn't tell what was weird about it, but logically speaking, Ye Li was not the kind of person who would care about whether a friend's relationship went well or not. "If I don't like Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu likes someone else, will you help him like this?"

Ye Li: "No."

Qiu Mu felt that she had found the evidence: "Look, I'll tell you something's wrong."

"I don't care about Xiao Yu's relationship because he is more 'love saint' than me, and I can save enough by myself, how can I help." Ye Li: "You are different, the degree of difficulty is high, and no one can discuss it. "

Qiu Mu was persuaded: "It turns out to be like this."

Ye Li: "With your 'positive energy', sooner or later pantomime will turn into tragedy."

Qiu Mu could not refute.

This is so poignant.

"Do you want to be friends forever?" Ye Li asked.

"I don't want to." The torture in the previous life was enough. "I'm going to confess when I'm in high school."

"I hope you can do it smoothly." Ye Li said: "If you want to change from a friend to a lover, you can't take that step back. If Xiao Yu doesn't accept it, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future. Failure to confess is tantamount to chronic It just doesn’t feel right to get along when you lose the connection.”

But isn't that what it is.

Qiu Mu agreed: "You understand very well."

"..." Ye Li slowly closed his eyes, then opened them, as if a little tired: "I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep."

More than a month passed after that.

On a Friday afternoon, during the break of the sixth class, Gu Yu ran to Ye Li with a strange expression on his face.Deliberately lowering his voice, he leaned into Ye Li's ear and said, "Xiao Li, after school, you go to the school's gymnasium."

Qiu Mu's calm eyes on the side have already glanced over.Ye Li looked at the distance between Gu Yu and himself, and quietly leaned back.Maintaining the level of not being stared at by Qiu Mu, he said to Gu Yu, "What are you doing there?"

Gu Yu came closer without knowing it, and hammered Ye Li's shoulder: "Just let you go! How can I still hurt you!"

Ye Li propped his palms in front of him, palms facing Gu Yu, with a look of "Okay, I understand, don't come any closer", and said, "Did someone ask you to do this?"

Gu Yu was startled: "How do you know?"

"girl?"

Gu Yu was even more surprised, her eyes widened: "I didn't say anything!"

Ye Li tapped the table twice with his fingers, and said, "Sorry, I have something to do after school, please help me refuse."

Gu Yu took a deep breath in surprise, and turned up the volume: "No way! That's a confession! Why don't you come over!"

Ye Li: "I won't agree even if I go, it's not hurtful. I don't want to know who that person is at all, so as not to feel like I owe her something when we meet in the future."

Gu Yu was envious and jealous at the same time, and finally became angry from embarrassment: "Well, you Ye Li, you treat girls with such an attitude."

Ye Li: "What's my attitude?"

Gu Yu: "The other girls have finally mustered up the courage, how can you not even see each other."

Seeing that Gu Yu was about to continue his long-winded discussion, Ye Li said helplessly, "OK, I'll go to the head office."

Gu Yu was in a bad mood again: "At least you should be shy!"

Ye Li: "If you can't be shy, you have to make me pretend to be shy?"

Gu Yu snorted angrily: "The popular guy is different."

Ye Li: "..."

"Anyway, I've conveyed the message. You must go to the one after school, you know?"

Ye Li nodded: "Understood, I won't make it difficult for you."

Gu Yu expressed satisfaction: "That's right."

Ye Li said helplessly: "Really, I have joined the student union and still like to worry about it so much. Don't you think there are not enough troublesome things?"

Gu Yu: "How can my brother's affairs be called 'troublesome' and 'worrying'? It's not good for you to find a girlfriend for you."

Ye Li said indifferently: "I don't plan to have a girlfriend."

"Yes, you like smart people, right? In the future, take a post-doctorate as your wife." Gu Yu said, "It's best to be single until the age of 30 and no one will want you."

"..."

After school, Ye Li left the classroom under the urging of Gu Yu's eyes.

Gu Yu nodded contentedly, and then said to Qiu Mu, "I'm going to deal with the student union."

Qiu Mu: "Last time it was planting flowers, and last time it was picking up trash. What did your student union president ask you to do this time?"

Gu Yu: "Sort out the books in the library to see if they are out of order."

"Is this also under your control?"

Gu Yu: "Yeah, it's been like this for the past few years."

Qiu Mu: "I'll accompany you."

But Gu Yu refused: "No, no, just stay here and wait for Xiao Yu, don't come here."

Qiu Mu: "?"

As if afraid of Qiu Mu's repentance, Gu Yu took a few steps back, then turned around and ran outside the classroom: "I'm going first!"

Qiu Mu looked puzzled.

......

The library room is very quiet, almost only the occasional footsteps and the sound of pages being turned can be heard.

Walking around the bookshelves, Gu Yu found the person she was looking for.

They stared at each other, as if entering slow motion mode.Subconsciously, he stepped lightly and came to the side and rear of that person.

It was a girl with her head down, reading a book.The hair is shawl like black satin.Snow-white skin, a petite and upturned nose, rosy and full lips, and slender and slender fingers are gently pinching the corner of the next page.

Gu Yu was so absorbed in watching that she almost forgot to breathe.

How could there be such a lovely person in the world, why would they be so likable.

He felt that his face was a little hot, so he couldn't help turning around, took out a book at random, and stuffed his head into the standing book, with the cold pages on his cheeks, hoping to cool down.

It wasn't until the girl came back to her senses and noticed Gu Yu that Gu Yu took his head out of the book and said to her, "Sister."

"You're here." Chen Siqi smiled and said, "Let's tidy up together."

"Yeah." Gu Yu followed her naturally, looking for something to chat with: "The president is really good at dispatching people, just like Zhou Baopi, right, senior."

Chen Siqi covered her mouth and giggled: "Yes."

"Senior sister, when we dismiss him next year, let him do this and that, and then the two of us will stay lazy in the student union room, okay?"

Chen Siqi thought Gu Yu was very funny, and she could always make her laugh when she said something, "Okay."

......

On the other side, Ye Li came back and found Qiu Mu sitting alone in the classroom reading a book.

He walked over and asked, "Where is Xiao Yu?"

"Busy about the student union."

Ye Li nodded, found a seat close to Qiu Mu and sat down, planning to read a book together: "Then just wait."

But Qiu Mu put down the book, and asked him gossip: "How is it?"

Ye Li knew what Qiu Mu was talking about, so he said casually with no tone: "What else can I do, I refused."

Qiu Mu said: "You won't face that girl, so you should have this attitude."

"Of course not." Ye Li said: "It is still necessary to be gentle on the surface, but not too gentle. If you don't like it, you don't like it. The tone of rejection is too tactful. People may think they have hope. I have been thinking about it. Things that may have results, but this is even more cruel."

Qiu Mu became a little interested, and he said, "Are you really not interested at all?"

As far as he remembers, the behavior of those boys who are closer to Qiu Mu is completely different from that of girls.

On the surface, they seem to be serious, but when chatting in private in the dormitory, they are more and more violent.It almost made Qiu Mu, who was watching from the sidelines, blushed with embarrassment when he heard those words, and couldn't help but wonder if these people's skulls were cut open. White steamed buns", otherwise how could he be so lustful.

But Ye Li acted like a very gentleman, he didn't like to talk about that kind of topic at all, and girls didn't seem to be very attractive to him.

So Qiu Mu thought about it seriously and came to the conclusion: "You can't be gay too, right?"

"No." Without blinking, Ye Li continued to read his book indifferently: "I'm just not interested in dating."

Qiu Mu felt that this line was a bit familiar, as if he had said it countless times in his previous life.

At that time, when others heard this sentence, what did they say about him?

"Everyone who says they don't want to fall in love has someone in their heart that they can't have."

Others said this to tease Qiu Mu, but every time Qiu Mu heard it, she would suffer in silence for a long time every time.

Ye Li's face darkened.He looked sideways at Qiu Mu and said, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Mu didn't expect to say that sentence, and said quickly: "It's not about you, don't get me wrong."

Ye Li frowned.

"Really." The tone was gloomy.
