Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

On the basis of the time agreed with the deputy squad leader, Ye Li and Qiu Mu went out an hour earlier.

After getting on the bus, Ye Li was dissatisfied with Qiu Mu who was holding his mobile phone and playing non-stop as soon as he got on the bus, so he couldn't help but said to him: "Stop looking at your mobile phone when you are in the bus."

He obviously knew that reading in a car was bad for his eyesight, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Qiu Mu let out a "huh" and didn't know what she was busy with. She continued to press the button for a while, and then closed the cover of the phone under Ye Li's gaze after a minute and put it back in her pocket.

Ye Li said unhappily, "What should I do if I'm nearsighted?"

Qiu Mu laughed and said: "I see, Xiao Li, you are really long-winded sometimes."

"You think I want to be long-winded." If it wasn't for Qiu Mu, he wouldn't bother to care about whether other people's eyesight is good or not.

"Yes, yes, thank you Xiaoli for your concern." Qiu Mu said with a smile: "I am very honored to be taken care of by you."

"..." Ye Li left his head too far: "Hmph."

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's side face, suddenly fell silent for a while, and then said, "I'm really sorry about what happened two days ago."

Ye Li turned his head and looked at him uncomfortably: "Why are you saying this again? The main responsibility for that matter lies with me. I made you unhappy, and you did nothing wrong."

Rather, he really wanted to apologize to Qiu Mu, not to be apologized by Qiu Mu.

Qiu Mu said: "But the reason why you say that is ultimately because of me. If I don't, you won't be angry."

Ye Li said: "I'm not angry, how could I be angry with you."

He was angry with himself, angry at himself for not being smarter.

Qiu Mu said: "Really?"

Ye Li nodded.

Qiu Mu said: "That's good. Every time there is an argument, your attitude will immediately change after you say a few words. I'm afraid that you still care about it in your heart, but you just don't show it on your face."

"If you say that, isn't it the same for you?" Ye Li said: "After I said such exaggerated things, you can immediately turn off the flames. I don't even have a chance to say an apology."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing? I can't be angry with you just because you told the truth and what's in your heart."

And thinking that Ye Li did this because of him, Qiu Mu felt a little guilty.He thought to himself that he made that talkative Ye Li angry so much, it must be something that really did not do well enough to annoy him.

"To be honest, I don't really want to have conflicts with you." After all, besides Gu Yu, Ye Li is the friend he trusts the most and also the one he is least willing to give up.Not to mention that Ye Li did nothing wrong, even if Ye Li did something wrong, Qiu Mu felt that she could bear this little bit of dissatisfaction.

"Me too." Ye Li said, "Sometimes you are angry, but when you think that this person is you, you don't want to be angry anymore."

Qiu Mu laughed out loud: "What does this mean, it's so strange."

Ye Li said: "Because I will reconcile with you sooner or later, since this is the case, why are you still angry, can't you make fun of yourself?"

Qiu Mu recited the sentence "sooner or later we will reconcile" back and forth twice, and suddenly felt a little warm in my heart.

It seems that not only he regards Ye Li as his most important friend, but also Ye Li.

After getting out of the car, I walked straight to the bank. Except for the few hundred dollars that I had specially left to buy gifts, I put the rest in my card.

After leaving the bank, Qiu Mu pointed to the milk tea shop not far away and said, "It must be this one."

Ye Li: "Yes."

"It's really hot." Wiping the sweat that was oozing out of their foreheads unconsciously, Qiu Mu and Ye Li walked into the cool milk tea shop together.After the door was closed, the heat outside was completely blocked. Standing at the door, he squinted his eyes in enjoyment and breathed a sigh of relief.

After ordering something casually, they sat down and waited for someone.

Not long after, 10 minutes before the appointed time, a girl with long hair, a white dress, and floral low-heeled sandals walked in from the door.After entering, he observed the environment of the store, and then approached Ye Li's location straightly.

Because he was waiting for someone, Ye Li would look up when someone entered the store.His eyes touched the girl in the white skirt, and he quickly looked away after not staring for a long time, thinking it was a stranger.

It wasn't until the man got closer and closer, showing an aura of "I'm here to find you", that Ye Li took a few more careful observations.Then he was surprised and confirmed that the other party turned out to be the deputy squad leader he had known for three years.

The effect of girls dressing up is like casting some magical magic.It's only been two days since I saw each other, and it's as if the other party has changed their shell, as if they were two different people.

Ye Li opened his lips slightly in surprise, subconsciously stood up from his seat, and stayed on the spot to observe the other party carefully.

The deputy squad leader felt a little embarrassed by Ye Li's undisguised gaze, carrying a small handbag in his hand, raised it to protect his chest, lowered his head and whispered: "Very, is it strange?"

"No." Ye Li raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but confirm: "Are you really...?"

The other party nodded, put his finger on the long hair that fell out of the ear, put it behind the ear, pursed his lips, and said shyly: "It's me."

Ye Li was both admiring and admiring: "I didn't even see it - it's so beautiful!"

The deputy squad leader immediately smiled and said joyfully, "Really!"

"Especially this dress, it's so beautiful."

"Sure enough!" The deputy squad leader said something strange: "You really like white dresses, that's great."

really?real?What do you mean by that.

It was found that when the deputy squad leader said this, he seemed to glance at Qiu Mu.Ye Li turned his head to look at Qiu Mu who was sitting beside him, before he could say anything, Qiu Mu asked first: "Do you want something to drink?"

The deputy squad leader said: "Then let's have fruit tea."

She and Qiu Mu exchanged a look, Qiu Mu got up and went to the bar to order drinks, leaving only Ye Li and her in the seat for the time being.

Ye Li's intuition was wrong.

He didn't tell the deputy squad leader that Qiu Mu was coming, so why didn't the deputy squad leader even ask?

The girl sat on the chair opposite Qiu Mu and Ye Li, and said to Ye Li, "The sun is so bright today, it must be very hot when we walk here."

Ye Li was slightly puzzled, but was attracted by this sentence, nodded and said: "Yes, the temperature is so high early in the morning."

Although he is bent, his mental and emotional intelligence is still at the level of "straight man of steel".In addition to expressing sincere surprise and admiration for the deputy squad leader's attire at the beginning, after saying a few words, he changed a detail on the other party that should obviously be noticed, and ignored it without thinking about it.

He said, "Which day do you think is better for the class reunion time", successfully freezing the smile on the deputy squad leader's face.

The deputy squad leader smiled awkwardly, adjusted his facial expression, and said following Ye Li's topic: "Some students will go back to their hometown or go to other places to play after the holiday, so it is better in the last few days or when the summer vacation is about to end. Well, if we make another appointment in the middle, everyone may have things to do."

"I think so too." Ye Li said: "Actually, you can make an appointment twice, once in the last few days, and after the grades come out, everyone has decided on high school, and then make another appointment before school starts."

The deputy squad leader nodded: "Well, that's fine too."

Ye Li: "Let's go to the group on Sunday a week later to see everyone's opinions. As for the location..."

The deputy squad leader seemed to be listening carefully. When Ye Li finished speaking and stopped in the middle, he suddenly asked casually, "Ye Li, are you sure you want to go to high school?"

Ye Li: "Well, yes."

The deputy squad leader lowered his head in embarrassment, and slid his fingers left and right on the table: "It would be great if I could continue to be in the same school, in the same class."

Ye Li didn't think much, nodded and said, "Yes."

The girl raised her head in surprise after hearing the words, her eyes seemed to be twinkling with countless bright stars, she looked at Ye Li, said □□he was still resting, her face was ruddy.

"..."

Ye Li, who witnessed this expression, if he can't see that something is wrong with the atmosphere at this time, then it's not him.

Thinking of other things in his heart, he continued: "But in our class, there must be a lot of people who can be admitted to the first high school."

After the girl listened, the originally bright eyes of the stars suddenly disappeared, and became dim again.

"Yes, is it..." After saying that, her mood began to drop significantly.

Ye Li didn't say anything, deliberately making the atmosphere a little colder.At this time, the deputy squad leader's cell phone beeped.

She picked it up and took a look. After reading the content on the phone screen, she couldn't help but look up at the bar on the left of her field of vision - Qiu Mu was standing there with her back to the two, waiting for the boss to prepare the drinks.

Ye Li: "?"

The deputy squad leader panicked for some reason, put the phone on his lap under the table, and said, "No, it's nothing."

Turning around again, I found Qiu Mu stretched out his right hand, gestured with a thumbs up, and turned his head to show her a handsome smile, cheering her up.

The deputy squad leader covered his mouth with his hand, lowered his head and his face became more and more red.

[Xiao Li is very slow to respond to emotional matters, and needs to spend more time, come on! 】

On the phone was a text message sent by Qiu Mu just now.

The first communication with Qiu Mu was yesterday morning when she and Ye Li agreed to meet each other the next morning, when Qiu Mu suddenly sent a text message.

He asked the deputy squad leader in a very tactful tone, if he had any "other words" to say to Ye Li tomorrow.

Although very embarrassed, the deputy squad leader was honest with Qiu Mu, Ye Li's best friend, and told the truth, and asked for Qiu Mu's help.

Qiu Mu has always been gentle and friendly. After confirming that her guess was correct, she readily agreed to help.First, she asked the deputy squad leader if Ye Li was in love with someone. After she left early this morning, she continued to "tip the news" to the deputy squad leader, telling her that she and Ye Li had gone out, and kept reporting Ye Li's movements.

It was also an excuse to get drinks for the deputy squad leader just now, and got up and left the seat immediately, so as to leave room for the two to talk.

The text message provided some spiritual support to the deputy squad leader. She said in her heart that she had finally asked Ye Li out to meet her, and she absolutely couldn't go back without saying anything.So he asked, "Ye Li, is there any place you like to go?"

Ye Li thought he was talking about the location of the class reunion, and the deputy squad leader wanted to ask about his preferences. As a reference, he said, "I can do anything."

"..." The other party was not discouraged: "In daily life, is there anything you like to do?"

Ye Li: "Read books, then listen to music, and sometimes learn how to grow flowers with grandpa, and occasionally tease the puppy."

The deputy squad leader was surprised: "Do you still have a dog at home?"

Ye Li: "Yes, I have been raising her for two years."

"What kind of dog?" She looked interested.

Ye Li: "It's just an ordinary little black dog with curly hair, a small dog. Very obedient and clingy."

"Hey~ I think I've met you. I've always wanted to have a dog, but my parents won't let me."

Ye Li took out his mobile phone and said, "I have a photo, do you want to see it?"

"Yes! I want to see it!"

Qiu Mu took the fruit tea handed over by the boss, and couldn't help smiling knowingly when he saw the two teenagers talking and laughing not far away.

If you don't go there, you will be suspected by Ye Li, holding a drink, Qiu Mu walked over and said: "Hey, we had a good chat, did I bother you?"

Ye Li didn't respond, but the deputy squad leader blushed visibly.

"Why don't you sit here, it's not convenient to look at photos across a table."

Ye Li turned his head slightly, and looked at Qiu Mu.Qiu Mu looked at the deputy squad leader and didn't notice him.So Ye Li also turned his gaze to look at the girl.

The deputy squad leader was embarrassed, but he was always decisive when he actually took action.With an appearance of "respect is worse than obedience", she stood up and sat next to Ye Li.

There was a flash of displeasure in Ye Li's eyes.

When the deputy squad leader talked to him and expressed that he wanted to see the next photo, he silently stuffed the mobile phone into the deputy squad leader's hand, saying "You can look at it as you like", then sat on the seat without saying a word, buried his head Drinking tea.

"..." The deputy squad leader's expression was dull for a moment, and he couldn't help but look at Qiu Mu, and looked at Qiu Mu who had just sat opposite him.

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, the three of them tacitly understood, seemed to understand that the other party understood, but didn't seem to understand that the other party understood, and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Qiu Mu said, "What were you talking about just now?" and then the deputy squad leader answered the words and tried to adjust the atmosphere back, Ye Li took two seconds to sort out his emotions, and his expression naturally followed the topic, as if he didn't Feeling dissatisfied - the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of Ye Li's inattention, they exchanged conversations on their mobile phones.

Qiu Mu: [Xiao Li has this temper, don't mind]

Deputy squad leader: [OK, thank you]

The direction of the conversation became normal again, except for the occasional topic of "that aspect" that kept Ye Lisi away from the things that were either ignored or interrupted. It took a whole morning for the three of them to talk about the relevant topics of the classmate reunion. Matters, while chatting and talking about the business, have been confirmed.

Things have been decided, and it's almost time to leave soon.At this time, Qiu Mu suggested: "I'm a little hungry, let's find a place to have lunch together."

Deputy squad leader: "Okay."

Because Ye Li had to buy gifts for the old man later, he couldn't say "Let's go back and eat".Following behind the deputy class monitor and Qiu Mu, the three walked into a small restaurant with warm decoration and took their seats.

During the meal, Qiu Mu intentionally or unintentionally introduced Ye Li's various "excellent hobbies" enthusiastically and enthusiastically, like an introducer selling his own precious products, telling about Ye Li's various "unknown" little habits .

It is said that Ye Li is never a picky eater when he eats, and he rarely has anything to avoid.The cooking skills are very good, and he can cook a little bit of basically all kinds of dishes.I often help my family wash dishes and vegetables, and I never shirk when I do housework.Every night after dinner, I will go for a half-hour walk with the old man and the puppy.Very particular about hygiene, the items in the room are always neatly placed.

The deputy squad leader's eyes were shining brightly, and the eyes he was looking at Ye Li had reached the point of "uncovering".

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu very tiredly, wanted to get angry but couldn't, it was hard to say.

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li's expression more and more, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I haven't seen any obvious bad habits in him so far. He does everything very well, and he is extremely versatile."

The excited expression on the deputy squad leader's face never faded: "Enen! I think so too!"

Ye Li sat quietly at the side, silently watching the two people flattering and agreeing, as if the subject of the topic they were talking about was not him, and his expression was empty.

Seeing Ye Li's disappointing appearance, Qiu Mu was a little dissatisfied—the deputy squad leader is sitting in front of you, why doesn't he give you any face.The foot under the table kicked Ye Li here.

"..." Ye Li was silent for two seconds, and tried his best to cheer up and participate in the topic: "It's nothing, in fact, Xiao Mu is also very good."

Talking about your business, why did you turn the topic to me? - Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li with his eyes.

Ye Li pretended not to know, just to change the topic to another place: "When I first met Xiao Mu, he was the one who talked to me first."

The deputy squad leader cooperated: "Hey, that's right. I heard that you two knew each other before entering junior high school, right?"

Ye Li nodded, and said "yes": "Yes, we met in the fourth grade of elementary school. We were at the same table at that time, and Qiu Mu did better than me in every exam. No matter what, I couldn't catch up, but it pissed me off." Dead." He intentionally made a funny expression to adjust the atmosphere.

The deputy squad leader really smiled: "Haha, Qiu Mu is a god of learning, and he has long gone beyond the scope of common sense."

Qiu Mu quickly said: "Nothing."

Ye Li said: "That's right. At that time, I always wanted to surpass him, so I only thought that I had to study hard and not relax. Now I can rank second in every exam, thanks to Qiu Mu standing in front of me, Set a goal for me."

The deputy squad leader was smiling, as if he wanted to answer and say something, but Ye Li continued without stopping: "Except for silently supporting me in my studies, Xiao Mu is still a graduate of elementary school. At that time, he helped me find a suitable nursing home, so that I could send my mother in to receive care-to be honest, it really helped me a lot. Without him, I might not be studying in No. [-] Middle School now .”

The deputy squad leader said in surprise: "So there is such a thing!"

Ye Li said: "Then Xiao Mu and grandpa saw me living hard outside alone, so they took me home with no relatives and no reason, and lived with them. Now I have completely become a family. Sometimes I think about it, I really feel lucky."

Qiu Mu was not very used to Ye Li like this, so he said embarrassedly: "It's actually nothing."

Ye Li shook his head, and said sincerely, "Without you and Grandpa, I would not be where I am now. It's not an exaggeration at all, it's a fact."

The deputy monitor and Qiu Mu were both silent because of Ye Li's serious expression.Because Ye Li's eyes looked very sincere and sincere, if he casually said something like "You're welcome" or "That's nice", he would feel that such a reaction was too hasty and very rude.

Ye Li said: "So, I have always thought that as long as it is what you want, I will do my best to achieve it. At least I will try my best to help you within my ability and realize all your wishes for you. wishes come true.”

The deputy squad leader was a little moved after hearing this: "You two have such a good relationship."

This deep friendship, this frankness and sincerity, must be envied by everyone.

Qiu Mu lightly touched the tip of her nose with her index finger, then lowered her head: "Yes."

Although he already knew Ye Li's intentions, but he was still a little shy to say "I want to repay you" in such a face-to-face.

Both he and Ye Li have relatively restrained personalities, and they prefer to express silently with their eyes, movements, and actual actions rather than words.Even if you care about the other party, you will rarely express your inner feelings candidly like some people. You will only tactfully make a cup of hot tea for the other party when you get up early, or when the other party needs it, tacitly hand it over to the other party. Things, all kinds of small behaviors, to express your care for the other party.

Because Qiu Mu and Ye Li are careful people, this method is completely effective.They understood each other's thoughts, and chose not to say anything in a tacit agreement.Caring for each other, but also being cared for by the other party.After going back and forth, the goodwill is superimposed, and the fetters become stronger and stronger.

It's heartwarming to think about it.

——Ye Li said when Qiu Muzheng was moved: "However, this approach really doesn't work. If you don't say something, the other party will never know."

The other two were both taken aback for a moment.

The deputy squad leader said confusedly: "Yeah, so Ye Li, you said it now... how good is your relationship with Qiu Mu?"

Qiu Mu felt that this interpretation was not correct, and Ye Li seemed to have something else to say.

But Ye Li smiled, affirmed the deputy squad leader's opinion, and said, "That's right, otherwise Qiu Mu would have talked about me endlessly just now."

The deputy squad leader smiled awkwardly, thinking that Ye Li's purpose was to mock Qiu Mu for talking about his behavior just now, so he didn't know how to answer.

Qiu Mu blinked, and then laughed dryly.

The recent Ye Li is really strange.
