Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Knowing that Ye Li was going out with Ma Bin tomorrow morning, Qiu Mu paused for a long time before making sure he heard correctly.

"Ma Bin?"

Ye Li: "Yes."

"It's such a rare combination." Throw the clothes into the washing machine, and then pour laundry detergent into it: "Where are you going?"

Ye Li took the towel from the shelf, turned around and poured water into the bathtub to test the water temperature.

"Go..." After being stuck for two seconds, Ye Li continued, "The gym."

Gym?

Qiu Mu asked in surprise, "You? With Ma Bin?"

Ye Li nodded.

Qiu Mu also often went to the gym in her previous life.Because after going to work, it is no longer the same as being in school. I can take part in physical education classes for physical activities every now and then, and then go to play with friends during breaks and after school.In order not to let herself become a "vain chicken" who is panting after two steps, after get off work, Qiu Mu often drives to the gym near her home for a run and some exercise.

But Ye Li's situation is different.

"Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

Ye Li's answer made Qiu Mu know something was wrong: "Curiosity, go and have a look."

"..." With Yeli's character, how could it be possible for him to spend time and purposely go to a place with a bad relationship because of curiosity, and to "look around" somewhere during the holidays.

Qiu Mu didn't intend to ask, he was not so gossip.But after thinking about it, he said, "It seems quite interesting, can I go and have a look together?"

"..." Ye Li: "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow."

The water in the bathtub had been put away, and he stood there looking at Qiu Mu, as if he was waiting for Qiu Mu to go out.

Seeing this, Qiu Mu planned to leave.He closed the lid of the washing machine and pressed the button: "You wash it first, I'm going out."

As soon as he took a step outside, he saw the little black dog wagging its tail and walking around.Seeing Qiu Mu and Ye Li appear, Sa Yazi immediately rushed to Qiu Mu's feet who was standing a little outside, and circled around him.

Qiu Mu bent down and rubbed the fur on the puppy's stomach.

The little black dog has gained a lot of weight recently.

Although Ye Li brought it back as a pet, in fact, it was the old man who accompanied him the most every day.In addition to taking regular walks twice a day, the puppy's three meals a day are now fully arranged by the old man, and getting along so intimately makes him the most loyal partner of the old man.

But if it continues to be fed like this, the puppy will probably be fat enough to walk on its belly against the ground.

The corner of Qiu Mu's mouth curled up, and her index finger touched the tip of the puppy's wet nose: "Looking at your chubby appearance, I should take you to the gym to practice."

"By the way." Ye Li stood behind and said, "Did you notice Xiao Yu's report card this time?"

Qiu Mu's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little.

"......Um."

Ye Li: "If this continues, he will definitely drop to the top [-] in the final exam."

Both he and Qiu Mu understood that if Gu Yu performed at his normal level, it would be absolutely impossible to get such a result.After all, they are all knowledge points learned a long time ago, no matter how hard they are, they will not be unable to answer them.

It's just that I didn't pay attention, I didn't review before the exam, and I didn't concentrate during the exam, that's why it happened.

Ye Li added: "It's been almost four months since the start of school, and he hasn't even finished the knowledge points of the third year of high school."

"...Let me find a chance to talk to him." Qiu Mu said.

"Ah."

The sound of tick-tock bathing came from behind his ears, Qiu Mu didn't dare to look back, and left directly with the little black dog.

The moment the door closed, an electronic sound rang out from the bathroom.

"Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least except them to. (Don't worry, the best things always appear inadvertently.)"

"..." Ye Li practiced listening to the original English sentences again while taking a bath.

I really don't know if he has a moment where he can really relax and not think about anything.

Compared to Gu Yu whose academic performance plummeted because of falling in love, Ye Li sometimes looks like a heartless robot.There is only the goal in his eyes, and then he moves forward without distraction for the goal.

Such Ye Li, if he has someone he likes, will he become like Gu Yu, a captive dominated by emotion?

It's hard to imagine that picture.

Putting the puppy on the ground, Qiu Mu walked back to the room.

Lying on the bed, I took out my notebook and started to check the information sent by my parents to observe the current market conditions.

From junior high school to high school, there is nothing to do in class every day, so Qiu Mu silently prepares for the future company's plan and makes plans for the future.

It's almost time to find a time to start preparing for the official hands-on.

The next day, Ye Li knocked on Qiu Mu's door and reminded him to go to the gym after breakfast.

"Are you leaving like this?" Qiu Mu asked.

Ye Li looked down at his attire: "...Is there any problem?"

There should be no inappropriate place.

"It's best to bring a set of clothes with you." Qiu Mu added, "And underwear, water bottle, and towel."

Ye Li thought for a while and understood: "That's true."

It's not easy to sweat after exercising, and then come back with wet clothes and sweaty smell.

He has always admired Qiu Mu for this: "Why do you always think of all these details? Obviously, like me, you are going to the gym for the first time."

Qiu Mu smiled and said, "Isn't that bad?"

"No, very good." Ye Li said, "I'll prepare the clothes, you go to eat first."

......

Following Ye Li, the two arrived at the entrance of the gym by car. Ma Bin had been waiting there for an unknown amount of time.

Qiu Mu's appearance was obviously beyond Ma Bin's expectation. After asking, Ye Li said in a neutral way, "Would you like to bring one more guest for your coach?" and blocked Ma Bin's mouth.

Qiu Mu said to Ma Bin: "I want to come and see it too, don't you mind?"

Naturally, Ma Bin would not say anything that should not be said: "No, of course not."

In Qiu Mu's opinion, this gym is a bit small, and the facilities are not perfect, but for a high school student like Ma Bin, it should be a good size.

He introduced Qiu Mu and Ye Li to the coach. The coach should have known Ye Li's needs in advance. Instead of asking Ye Li, he asked Qiu Mu, "What about you? Are you the same as your classmates?"

Qiu Mu didn't know what "same" meant, and said, "I'll just take a look."

The coach didn't know what he meant from Qiu Mu's words "take a look at it casually", so he nodded: "Come and test your strength first, so that I can arrange a training cycle plan for you. Ma Bin , Demonstrate to your classmates."

Ma Bin brought Ye Li and Qiu Mu to a treadmill: "Let's look at endurance first."

Turn on the switch of the treadmill, and then set the time and speed on the three machines: "If you think it can be faster, press the '+' button to master the acceptable speed."

Qiu Mu and Ye Li went up and followed Ma Bin's instructions.

Qiu Mu is already familiar with this, so just like long-distance running, first adapt to the rhythm at a low speed, and then directly adjust to the speed she is most used to and run smoothly.

Ma Bin was a little different.I don't know if it was to take care of Ye Li, but he seemed to pay attention to Ye Li's speed on purpose, and then improved by a small amount, but he didn't do the same thing as Qiu Mu.

When Ye Li stopped to press the button and began to run seriously, Ma Bin did not speed up any more, just like him.

Whether it's running, lifting weights, stretching, strength testing, it's all true.

Just when the coach said "It's almost ready", Ye Li suddenly frowned and said for no reason: "Don't look down on people."

The three people beside them were all taken aback.

Ma Bin was still doing sit-ups with peace of mind, so he stopped to take a breath.Hearing Ye Li's voice, he turned his head and glanced at him. He felt that among the few people present, he was the only one who could make Ye Li speak in such a tone. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What did you say?"

Ye Li: "You can go faster, right? Why are you hiding it? Do you think I will envy you because of this kind of thing?"

Ma Bin didn't know how to answer.He suddenly felt that Ye Li's expression was a bit familiar at this time, reminding him of the scene in elementary school, when he wanted to help Ye Li, but was yelled back by him angrily.

"I......"

He also couldn't explain why he deliberately lowered his strength, but he vaguely felt that if he went too far, it might make Ye Li unwilling to continue exercising with him.After all, Ye Li is a guy who refuses to admit defeat.

"You are still as arrogant as before." Ye Li sarcastically said.

"..."

Qiu Mu said: "Forget about Xiaoli, he is kind."

When Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu, his impatient expression was obviously relieved a lot.

"I'm just annoyed that this guy is always doing stupid things."

"..." Ma Bin silently stood up from the sit-up machine.

Vaguely, he seems to understand why Ye Li was so "ignorant of good and bad" and "revenges kindness" when he was in elementary school.

It's not that Ye Li can't see through his intention to help, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, and doesn't know a good heart.But Ye Li saw it, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he refused.

Then, he failed to understand Ye Li's thoughts, and went against Ye Li's wish again and again, hurting him in the name of "for your own good".

Who made this guy in front of him have a stronger self-esteem than anyone else?

It must be a very shameful thing to be pitied and handed over by others, and to be humiliated by others.

So for the next test, Ma Bin stopped doing this, and the three of them finished a set of procedures with peace of mind, and Ye Li's expression returned to normal.

Judging from the statistics alone, Ma Bin's grades are much better than Ye Li's.

During the break, Ma Bin found an opportunity to apologize to Ye Li.

Ye Li didn't accept it, and asked back, "Why do you apologize?"

Ma Bin: "Don't get me wrong, it's not because I took your first place, so I apologize."

When Ye Li heard this, his face really looked a little better.

Ma Bin said: "I just want to say that when I was in elementary school, many unpleasant things happened, I'm sorry."

Ye Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally looked at Ma Bin more seriously.

Ma Bin said: "At that time, I just thought that I didn't get thanks for what I had done, so I was very angry. I wanted you to 'learn a lesson' and kept making trouble for you. I never considered your thoughts, and I would be punished. It's not surprising that you hate it, and I don't know if it will be too late... Anyway, I hope you can forgive me."

Ye Li was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I forgive you."

"..." Ma Bin scratched his head, it seemed a bit difficult to say, but he still said: "Also, I have to apologize to you for saying that you are a single-parent family..." After graduating, something happened to my family, my mom and dad got divorced...it was only then that I really understood how bad the words that scolded you meant."

Ye Li listened carefully: "Yes."

Ma Bin: "Aren't you angry?"

Ye Li: "I've stopped being angry for a long time. Being angry also takes energy."

"..." This sentence means that he doesn't even have the right to make Ye Li angry.

Ma Bin said awkwardly: "Really, that's good."

Ye Li nodded to him, stopped talking to him, and turned to look for Qiu Mu.

Concerned: "Are you tired?"

Qiu Mu said: "It's okay."

"drink water?"

Qiu Mu: "Okay."

Ye Li took the initiative to go to the locker room to help Qiu Mu get the water cup.

Ma Bin took the opportunity to walk to Qiu Mu: "Qiu Mu, I want to ask you something."

Qiu Mu said: "Well, what's the matter?"

Ma Bin: "You should see that my sister is interested in Ye Li."

Qiu Mu laughed aloud: "Of course I can see it."

"She wants me to help find out if Xia Yeli has someone she likes."

Qiu Mu said: "That's why I specially invited Xiao Li to come to the gym."

Ma Bin: "My sister told me with certainty that Ye Li has someone he likes. Do you know who that person is?"

Qiu Mu asked in surprise, "No way?"

Ma Bin was also surprised: "You don't know?"

"I don't know?" Qiu Mu said, "Ma Li must have made a mistake."

"Impossible." Ma Bin said: "She plausibly told me 'surely', as if she had found definite evidence from somewhere."

Qiu Mu couldn't help laughing: "I really don't know, why don't I ask for you later."

Ma Bin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. I'm just worried about what to say to Ye Li. You also know what he thinks of me. It's not easy to speak properly."

Qiu Mu patted Ma Bin's shoulder with a smile: "Leave it to me."

Ye Li came out of the locker room, holding his and Qiu Mu's water glasses in his hand.

Qiu Mu took a sip of water and said to Ye Li, "Speaking of which, Xiao Li, do you have someone you like?"

Ye Li: "Where is it?"

Qiu Mu gently pushed Ye Li with the hand holding the cup, and said with a narrow-eyed smile, "Are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

Ma Bin pricked up his ears and hid aside to eavesdrop openly.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

Qiu Mu: "I want to know."

Ye Li: "I don't want to say it."

Qiu Mu was slightly taken aback.

This kind of vague tone doesn't fit Ye Li's speaking style...

"Really?" Qiu Mu said.

"Who knows."

That's it.Qiu Mu somehow drew such a conclusion from Ye Li's expression, and was a little unhappy.

"It's not interesting, why didn't you tell me."

Ye Li frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

Qiu Mu kept pestering her: "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"..."

Qiu Mu: "Is it a girl from junior high school?"

Ye Li turned his head away: "I don't know."

Qiu Mu carefully thought about who would be noticed by Ye Li, but couldn't figure it out: "Then...boys?"

Standing by the side, Ma Bin choked on his own saliva, then covered his mouth and coughed violently.

--what? !

Qiu Mu didn't bother to care about Ma Bin's existence anymore.

He was very unhappy by Ye Li's intentional concealment, and his tone gradually became blunt: "Who is it? There is nothing to say!"

Ye Li turned around and wanted to leave.

Qiu Mu put the water glass aside, trotted over and pulled Yeli's sleeve: "Who is it?"

Seeing that Ye Li didn't say anything, Qiu Mu took the trouble to ask again: "Who is it?"

"You're very verbose." Ye Li said harsh words to Qiu Mu for the first time: "Don't ask, okay?"

"..."

Qiu Mu slowly let go of her hand.

Somehow, kind of hurt.

"Okay, I'm sorry." He deliberately used words to squeeze Ye Li, knowing that Ye Li would be unhappy if he said this, he continued: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it, I'm meddling in my own business, I'm really sorry .”

"..."

Ye Li's expression looked a bit distressed.

Qiu Mu was even more annoyed by this.

What, it seems that his actions have caused Ye Li a lot of trouble.

But it's a question, and it doesn't matter what the answer is.

Obviously Ye Li knew his biggest secret, but Ye Li kept it a secret from him, even refusing to tell who the person he liked was.

Could it be that the good buddies who are close and talk about everything are just his wishful thinking?

Ma Bin was not that clever, he didn't know that at this time he was going to come up to mediate the dispute between the two of them, and stood by the side stupidly.

Ye Li refused to speak, and had no intention of easing up, as if he had made up his mind not to tell Qiu Mu that person's name.So Qiu Mu became more and more angry, and finally completely annoyed.

"Okay, don't say it if you don't say it!!"

If he continues to pester like this endlessly, it seems that he is very gossip.

After a short break, the coach came to instruct the three of them to train.Ma Bin just looked at it stupidly, and couldn't help at all.

He turned his eyes around Qiu Mu, looked at Ye Li, and said a few words, only to get "um" and "ah" responses from the two of them.

The atmosphere was completely deadlocked.

Then Ma Bin began to think about the reason why Ye Li refused to name that person even if he fell out with Qiu Mu.

Because that name would make Qiu Mu unacceptable?

Because that person happens to be the person Qiu Mu likes?

Because the other party's identity is too sensitive, Qiu Mulei will be furious if he says it?

Ma Bin happens to have someone he likes, and that person's identity is more sensitive, so his imagination is more unlimited than ordinary people.

Not to mention that there was Qiu Mu's reminder of "could it be a boy", so Ma Bin even guessed randomly without boundaries of gender and age.

To say that the person Ye Li cared about the most, among the people Ma Bin knew, must be Gu Yu or Qiu Mu.

Especially Qiu Mu.

Not to mention giving Qiu Mu coffee all the time, even Qiu Mu knows everything about her eating habits and tastes.He quietly took seasoning for Qiu Mu, and when he was free, he always looked at Qiu Mu.

In the sports meeting before, Ma Bin sat in the back row of Ye Li and Qiu Mu, and saw their interaction clearly.

Ye Li often kept his eyes on Qiu Mu for a long time without moving away, and when Qiu Mu turned around to talk to him, he hurriedly turned away.It was exactly the same as Ma Li's reaction when she looked at Ye Li.

The reason why Ma Li avoids Ye Li's sight is easy to explain, but Ye Li doesn't need to hide from Qiu Mu's sight, just look at it, it doesn't matter.

It's impossible to really like Qiu Mu.

Ma Bin was amused by his own thoughts.

......

Qiu Mu was annoyed by Ye Li's dishonesty, and she didn't recover until noon.

Ye Li began to show affection to him.

"What to eat?"

Qiu Mu ignored it.

Ye Li: "Is Xiao Long Bao okay?"

Qiu Mu's nose is not a nose, eyes are not eyes and said: "What kind of steamed buns do you eat for lunch?"

Ye Li said in a good-tempered manner, "How about udon noodles? Put a lot of vegetables and mushrooms in it."

Qiu Mu: "No appetite."

"What do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."

"No need." Qiu Mu said: "I don't want to talk to you, stay away from me."

"..." Ye Li lowered his head sadly, and said, "Okay, I'm sorry."

Qiu Mu turned around not to look at him.

He understood that Ye Li must be looking sad again now, but the more he was like this, the more upset he felt.

Ma Bin stood aside and watched the whole process of the interaction between the two, with a wonderful expression on his face.

These two people, why are they arguing so much...

He said, "I'm going to eat, are you together?"

Ye Li asked: "Is there anything delicious nearby?"

Ma Bin: "A lot."

"Take me to see."

When Qiu Mu heard that Ye Li was going, she had thought about going out with Ma Bin, but suddenly she didn't want to go.

Rejecting the invitations from the two respectively, Qiu Mu sat on a chair in the dressing room, picked up her mobile phone and started thinking about whether to call for a pizza.

After thinking about it, he felt that the pizza was cold when it was delivered, and it must not taste good. Ye Li would definitely bring him something to eat when he came back, so he put down the phone again and waited for Ye Li to come back with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, the locker room door opened.

Qiu Mu saw that Ye Li was indeed holding two bags of food in his hands, and snorted inwardly. He crossed his legs like a grandpa, and waited for Ye Li to approach, posing with a score.

Then he was surprised to see that Ma Bin and Ye Li's faces were covered with bruises respectively.

Frightened, he quickly stood up: "What's wrong?!"

Ye Li handed the still warm food to Qiu Mu: "See if you like it."

How can Qiu Mu still think to be awkward: "No, what's the matter with you?"

Ye Li: "Well... I fell down."

Ma Bin covered his blue and swollen face and said nothing.

Qiu Mu frowned and said, "Did you fight?"

Ye Li knew it was useless to hide it, and said, "There was a little quarrel, but it's all over now."

Qiu Mu looked at Ma Bin in surprise.

Ma Bin still didn't speak, and looked at Qiu Mu resentfully, then looked at Ye Li's back, and gave me an innocent look.

Qiu Mu: "..."

It didn't seem like there was some fierce conflict that couldn't be solved, so I couldn't help but start fighting?

Ye Li: "I ate a bowl just now, and it tastes okay. Eat it while it's hot, or the noodles will rise."

"..."

"There's also bread here, from your favorite chain store."

Qiu Mu reached out to take it.

After the little episode just now, let's take a look at Ye Li's current tone and attitude, as well as the two delicious foods.

He suddenly didn't want to get angry with Ye Li like this.

"Well, thanks."

Ye Li didn't say anything, turned around and glanced at Ma Bin.

"come here."

Ma Bin sneered, and followed Ye Li out of the dressing room.

For some reason, Qiu Mu suddenly had the idea of ​​eavesdropping with her.

He wanted to do it, and planned to implement it, but after thinking about it, he felt that this kind of plan was probably impossible to realize in front of Ye Li, so he sat back in his seat again and ate lunch with peace of mind.

Mmm, it smells so good.
